Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor lighting equipment technology, and in particular to a waterproof fixing frame for outdoor lighting modules. Background Technology

[0002] An outdoor lighting frame is a structural component used to support and secure lighting modules. It is typically made of metal or high-strength engineering plastics and provides support, installation space, and protection. The lighting module is the core light-emitting unit in an outdoor lighting installation, integrating the light source, circuitry, and heat dissipation components. It requires a frame for stable installation and electrical connection. Due to factors such as rain, dust, and temperature variations in the outdoor environment, waterproof sealing performance is crucial for the long-term stable operation of the lighting module.

[0003] Existing outdoor lighting frames are generally fixed using only screws and clips, with waterproofing achieved simply through rubber rings or gaskets at the wiring points. However, this type of structure often requires manual installation, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the seals are prone to failure under uneven stress or improper installation, leading to reduced waterproofing performance. Additionally, some structures lack buffer protection for the lamp modules, making them susceptible to displacement or damage from environmental vibrations or external forces. Overall, the reliability of the protective measures needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a waterproof fixing frame for outdoor lighting modules, so as to solve the problems of low installation efficiency, insufficient waterproof reliability and unstable positioning and fixing in existing outdoor lighting module fixing frames.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a waterproof fixing frame for outdoor lighting modules, comprising a frame body, a receiving groove, multiple triggering components, multiple limiting components, and multiple sealing components. The receiving groove is located in the middle of the frame body. A triggering component is disposed inside the frame body and the receiving groove, and is used to utilize and transmit the force applied to the lamp module during the fixed installation of the lamp module, and is used in conjunction with the limiting component. A limiting component is disposed inside the frame body and inside the receiving groove, for limiting, fixing and positioning the lamp module at the corresponding position; A sealing component, located inside the receiving groove, is used to independently seal the wiring positions after the lamp module is installed, and to waterproof the lamp module.

[0006] Preferably, the triggering component includes a trigger plate, which is slidably installed inside the frame body. Connecting blocks are fixedly installed on both lower sides of the trigger plate. A second movable groove is formed on one side of the connecting block. A first guide block is fixedly installed above the interior of the second movable groove. A second guide block is fixedly installed below the first guide block. A third guide block is fixedly installed below the second guide block. The second guide block is a wedge-shaped block. A second guide groove is formed between the first guide block and the second guide block. The second guide groove is inclined to one side. A first guide groove is formed on one side of the second guide block. The first guide groove is inclined to one side. A lever is rotatably installed inside the frame body. The lever is an i-shaped part. One side of the lever is rotatably installed with the frame body, and the other side is located inside the second movable groove.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting component includes a first movable groove, which is formed inside the frame body. A spring is disposed inside the first movable groove. One side of the spring is fixed to the connecting block, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the interior of the frame body. A guide rod is rotatably mounted inside the frame body. A pull rope is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting block, and a clamping plate is fixedly mounted on the other side of the pull rope. A buffer pad is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the clamping plate. The connection position between the pull rope and the clamping plate is located on the side of the clamping plate closer to the connecting block.

[0008] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes a sealing gasket, which is fixedly installed inside the receiving groove, and a wire hole is provided on the frame body at the center of the sealing gasket, the wire hole being connected to the interior of the frame body.

[0009] Preferably, the triggering component and the limiting component are both located outside the sealing gasket, and the length and width of the lamp module are greater than the length and width of the sealing gasket but less than the distance between the two clamping plates and the two triggering plates.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping plate is an L-shaped plate-like part, and the lower part of the clamping plate is rotatably mounted to the interior of the frame body.

[0011] Preferably, the lever is an elastic metal part, and a torsion spring is sleeved at the internal connection between the lever and the frame body. The first guide groove is inclined from the side near the first guide block to the side near the third guide block. The lower end of the first guide groove is higher than the second movable groove, and the upper end of the first guide groove is at the same height as the second movable groove.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a waterproof mounting frame for outdoor lighting modules includes a frame body 1, a receiving groove 7, multiple triggering components, multiple limiting components, and multiple sealing components. The receiving groove 7 is located in the middle of the frame body 1. The frame body 1 provides an overall load-bearing and support structure to ensure that each component can be stably installed and work together. At the same time, it has internal installation space to facilitate the layout of the triggering components, limiting components, and sealing components. The receiving groove 7 is located in the middle of the frame body 1 to facilitate the placement and central positioning of the lighting module, and at the same time provides an installation position for the sealing gasket 2 to achieve independent waterproof encapsulation of the wiring area.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the trigger assembly, located inside the frame body 1 and the receiving groove 7, is used to utilize and transmit the force applied to the lamp module during the fixed installation process. It works in conjunction with the limiting assembly and includes a trigger plate 3, which is slidably installed inside the frame body 1. Connecting blocks 8 are fixedly installed on both sides below the trigger plate 3. A second movable groove 10 is formed on one side of the connecting block 8. A first guide block 17 is fixedly installed above the second movable groove 10. A second guide block 18 is fixedly installed below the first guide block 17. A third guide block 19 is fixedly installed below the second guide block 18. The second guide block 18 is a wedge-shaped block. A second guide groove 16 is formed between the first guide block 17 and the second guide block 18, and the second guide groove 16 is inclined to one side. A first guide groove 15 is formed on one side of the second guide block 18, and the first guide groove 15 is inclined to one side. A lever 11 is rotatably installed inside the frame body 1. The lever 11 is a U-shaped part. One side of the lever 11 is connected to the frame... The frame body 1 is rotatably installed, with the other side located inside the second movable slot 10. The lever 11 is an elastic metal part, and a torsion spring is sleeved at the connection between the lever 11 and the internal connection of the frame body 1. The first guide slot 15 is inclined from the side near the first guide block 17 to the side near the third guide block 19. The lower end of the first guide slot 15 is higher than the second movable slot 10, and the upper end of the first guide slot 15 is at the same height as the second movable slot 10. The second guide slot 16 is inclined from the side away from the first guide slot 15 to the side near the first guide slot 15. The right side of the second guide slot 16 is at the same height as the second movable slot 10, and the left side of the second guide slot 16 is higher than the height of the second movable slot 10. The trigger plate 3 is passively triggered when installing the lamp module by sliding installation, without additional operation, improving installation convenience. The connecting block 8 serves as the connection base between the trigger plate 3 and other structures, ensuring the stability of force transmission. The second movable slot 10 provides installation space for the guide block assembly, constraining and guiding the movement direction during triggering, improving the reliability of the action. The first guide block 17... The second guide block 18 and the third guide block 19 are designed with graded guide paths. The second guide block 18, in particular, is a wedge-shaped block, which can change the direction of force and improve the force transmission efficiency during triggering. The first guide groove 15 is designed with an inclination to ensure smooth guidance of the lever 11 during triggering, preventing jamming. The second guide groove 16 and the first guide groove 15 form a complementary inclination path, achieving self-locking and sequential action control of the triggering action. The lever 11 is a C-shaped metal part with elasticity, capable of elastic deformation and recovery during triggering, ensuring reliable reset. Simultaneously, a torsion spring increases the return force, preventing component failure. The entire trigger assembly utilizes external forces during installation to achieve adaptive limiting and locking, ensuring smooth operation and reliable reset, reducing manual operation, and enhancing modular installation efficiency. During use, when the lamp module is placed into the receiving slot 7, the fixed frame will press down on the trigger plate 3. During sliding, the trigger plate 3 will cause the connecting block 8 to move downwards.The lever 11 passes sequentially to the right of the third guide block 19 and the right of the second guide block 18, then through the second guide groove 16 and into the wedge-shaped groove of the second guide block 18. At this point, the trigger plate 3 is fixed in place, meaning the lamp module is also fixed here. The lever 11 rotates and deforms under the cooperation of the first guide groove 15 and the second guide groove 16, completing the guidance and transmission of force. The torsion spring stores energy. When the lamp module needs to be disassembled, pressing the lamp module body downwards again drives the trigger plate 3 to move downwards. At this time, one end of the lever 11 shifts to the left under the action of the torsion spring, passes through the left side of the second guide block 18, passes through the first guide groove 15, and falls back to the left side of the third guide block 19. At this point, the fixed position is released.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the limiting component, located inside the frame body 1 and the receiving groove 7, is used to limit, fix, and position the lamp module at corresponding positions. It includes a first movable groove 9, which is located inside the frame body 1. A spring 14 is installed inside the first movable groove 9; one side of the spring 14 is fixed to the connecting block 8, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixed to the interior of the frame body 1. A guide rod 12 is rotatably mounted inside the frame body 1. A pull rope 13 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting block 8, and a clamping plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the other side of the pull rope 13. A buffer pad 6 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the clamping plate 5. The connection point between the pull rope 13 and the clamping plate 5 is located on the side of the clamping plate 5 near the connecting block 8. The clamping plate 5 is an L-shaped plate-like part, rotatably mounted to the interior of the frame body 1 at its lower end. When the trigger plate 3 and the clamping plate 5 are not activated, their height is lower than the height of the frame body 1. A transparent shell can be encapsulated on one side of the frame body 1 located in the receiving groove 7. The first movable groove 9 provides movement space for the connecting block 8 and the spring 14, ensuring the clamping... The spring 14 is fixed to the connecting block 8 and the frame body 1, forming a pull force to automatically clamp the clamping plate 5 after installation, ensuring reliable limit positioning. The guide rod 12 provides stable linear motion guidance, preventing the clamping plate 5 from shifting or jamming under the traction of the pull rope 13. The pull rope 13 transmits the triggering force, realizing the linkage between the connecting block 8 and the clamping plate 5, making the clamping action flexible. The L-shaped design of the clamping plate 5 can achieve a stable clamping torque in a small structural space, while its lower part is rotatably mounted to the frame body 1, providing... With excellent rotational clamping characteristics, the buffer pad 6 provides flexible contact when clamping the lamp module to prevent damage to the lamp module shell, while also serving as a shock absorber. The limiting component achieves adaptive clamping through the spring 14 and the pull rope 13. The clamping plate 5 with the buffer pad 6 protects the lamp module, ensuring both robustness and safety. When the triggering component is activated, the connecting block 8, under force, drives the pull rope 13 to pull the clamping plate 5, causing the clamping plate 5 to rotate around the rotation point and clamp the lamp module. At the same time, the buffer pad 6 contacts the surface of the lamp module to provide protection and shock absorption.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sealing assembly, located inside the receiving groove 7, is used to independently seal the wiring positions after the lamp module is installed, and to waterproof the lamp module. It includes a sealing gasket 2, which is fixedly installed inside the receiving groove 7. A wire hole 4 is provided in the middle of the sealing gasket 2 on the frame body 1, and the wire hole 4 is connected to the interior of the frame body 1. The triggering assembly and the limiting assembly are both located outside the sealing gasket 2. The length and width of the lamp module are greater than the length and width of the sealing gasket 2, but less than the distance between the two clamping plates 5 and the two trigger plates 3. The sealing gasket 2 independently encapsulates the wiring area, preventing moisture from entering and ensuring the electrical safety of the lamp module. The wire hole 4 is only located in the middle of the sealing gasket 2 and is connected to the frame body 1, reducing the need for additional openings. The quantity is reduced, and the risk of water ingress is minimized. The transparent shell is encapsulated above the receiving groove 7, providing both protection and light transmission. It also protects the triggering and limiting components from external environmental influences. The advantages of the sealing components are that they achieve individual sealing of the electrical connection area. Combined with the transparent shell, it provides integrated optical transmission and protection, effectively improving the waterproof rating. When the lamp module is clamped and positioned by the limiting components, its bottom will fit against the sealing gasket 2 in the receiving groove 7. The wires are led out from the wire hole 4 in the middle of the sealing gasket 2, ensuring that the wiring area is independently sealed. Subsequently, the transparent shell is encapsulated above the receiving groove 7, covering the entire triggering and limiting components. While ensuring light transmission, it also provides external protection, achieving a waterproof seal for the wiring and installation area of ​​the lamp module.
