Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a snap-on panel light. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of panel lights, the connection structure between the lamp housing and the lamp frame directly affects the ease of disassembly and assembly, maintenance efficiency, and operational stability of the product. In existing snap-fit ​​panel lights, the connection between the lamp housing and the lamp frame often uses a single "snap-slot" fit structure, or requires the assistance of screws for fixation. The former suffers from insufficient reliability in limiting the position; after long-term use, the snaps are prone to deformation or wear, causing the lamp frame to loosen or fall off, affecting the structural stability of the panel light. While the latter can improve connection strength, the disassembly and assembly process requires tools, making it cumbersome, especially when the panel light requires regular maintenance (such as replacing the light source), as disassembly and reassembly are time-consuming, significantly reducing maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the defects of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a snap-on panel light. A snap-fit ​​panel light includes a lamp housing and a lamp frame. The lamp housing has a lamp cavity with a lower opening. The lamp frame is detachably connected to the opening of the lamp cavity. The lower end of the lamp housing has a flange protruding outward along its edge contour. The lamp frame is annular in shape and fits onto the flange. Several first notches are evenly distributed around the circumference of the lamp frame. A limiting member is rotatably disposed within the first notch. The limiting member can rotatably abut against the upper side of the flange. A limiting ring is rotatably disposed on the outer periphery of the lamp frame. The limiting ring can abut against the lower side of the limiting member, causing the limiting member to remain in a horizontal limiting state abutting against the flange. Several through holes are evenly distributed around the circumference of the limiting ring. When the through holes are aligned with the limiting member, one end of the limiting member can pass through the through holes and flip to a vertical state and disengage from the flange. A locking member is provided on the lamp frame to lock the limiting ring from rotating.

[0004] In one embodiment, one end of the limiting member has a limiting shaft that can abut against the upper side of the limiting ring, and a magnet that can be magnetically attracted to the limiting shaft is provided at the bottom of the first notch. When the limiting shaft is magnetically attracted to the magnet, the limiting member remains in a vertical state detached from the flange.

[0005] In one embodiment, the limiting shaft is rotatably connected to the limiting member via a bearing.

[0006] In one embodiment, a second notch is provided through the periphery of the lamp frame, and the locking member is rotatably disposed within the second notch. The locking member can be rotatably accommodated within the second notch or rotatably protrude outward from the through hole.

[0007] In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the lamp frame is recessed along the circumference, and a screw is threadedly inserted into the periphery of the limiting ring, with one end of the screw extending into the recess.

[0008] In one embodiment, an LED lamp module is disposed inside the lamp cavity.

[0009] In one embodiment, spring clips for installation and connection are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lamp housing.

[0010] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are: This utility model's lamp frame is initially positioned by a flange and lamp housing. After the limiting component rotates and abuts against the flange, the limiting ring can achieve horizontal limitation by abutting against the limiting component. The locking component further locks the rotation of the limiting ring. The entire assembly process requires no tools, and the multi-level limiting structure can effectively prevent the lamp frame from loosening. During disassembly, it is only necessary to unlock the locking component and rotate the limiting ring to align the through hole, and then flip the limiting component to disengage from the flange. The operation is efficient and solves the problems of "difficult to disassemble and assemble" or "easy to loosen" in existing structures.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figures 1 to 6The present invention preferably provides a snap-fit ​​panel light, including a lamp housing 1 and a lamp frame 2. The lamp housing 1 has a lamp cavity 3 with a lower opening. The lamp frame 2 is detachably connected to the opening of the lamp cavity 3. The lower end of the lamp housing 1 has a flange 4 protruding outward along its edge contour. The lamp frame 2 is annular in shape and fits onto the flange 4. A plurality of first notches 5 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the lamp frame 2. A limiting member 6 is rotatably disposed within the first notch 5. The component 6 can rotate and abut against the upper side of the flange 4. A limiting ring 7 is rotatably provided on the outer periphery of the lamp frame 2. The limiting ring 7 can abut against the lower side of the limiting component 6, so that the limiting component 6 remains in a horizontal limiting state abutting against the flange 4. The limiting ring 7 has several through holes 8 evenly distributed around its circumference. When the through holes 8 are aligned with the limiting component 6, one end of the limiting component 6 can pass through the through holes 8, flip to a vertical state, and disengage from the flange 4. The lamp frame 2 is provided with a locking component 9 that can lock the limiting ring 7 from rotating.

[0013] Specifically, first, the lamp frame is fitted along the flange at the bottom of the lamp housing to initially position the lamp frame and the lamp housing; then, the limiting member inside the first notch is rotated so that one end of the limiting member abuts against the upper side of the flange (forming a vertical limiting); next, the limiting ring on the outer periphery of the lamp frame is rotated so that the upper end of the limiting ring abuts against the lower side of the limiting member, restricting the limiting member from flipping downwards. At this time, the limiting member remains in a horizontal limiting state abutting against the flange; finally, the locking member on the lamp frame locks the rotation of the limiting ring, completing the fixation of the lamp housing and the lamp frame. When disassembly is required, first operate the locking device to release the locking of the limiting ring; rotate the limiting ring so that the through hole on the limiting ring is aligned with the limiting device in the first notch; at this time, one end of the limiting device can pass through the through hole and flip downward to a vertical state, disengaging from the upper limit of the flange; finally, remove the lamp frame along the flange to complete the disassembly.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the limiting member 6 has a limiting shaft 10 that can abut against the upper side of the limiting ring 7, and a magnet that can be magnetically attracted to the limiting shaft 10 is provided on the bottom of the first notch 5. When the limiting shaft 10 is magnetically attracted to the magnet, the limiting member 6 remains in a vertical state detached from the flange 4.

[0015] Specifically, when the limiting component passes through the perforation and flips to a vertical position, the limiting shaft at one end of the limiting component contacts the magnet at the bottom of the first notch. The magnet generates a magnetic attraction force on the limiting shaft, keeping the limiting shaft in contact with the magnet. This, in turn, drives the limiting component to remain stably in a vertical position after detaching from the flipped edge, preventing the limiting component from flipping arbitrarily during the disassembly and assembly of the lamp frame and ensuring smooth disassembly and assembly operations.

[0016] Furthermore, the limiting shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the limiting member 6 via a bearing. Specifically, the limiting shaft is rotatably connected to the limiting member via a bearing. The inner ring of the bearing is fixed to the limiting shaft, and the outer ring is fixed to the limiting member. When the limiting member rotates around the limiting shaft, the bearing can convert sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing the resistance when the limiting member rotates, avoiding rotational jamming caused by friction and wear after long-term use, and ensuring the reliability of the limiting member's operation.

[0017] Furthermore, a second notch 11 is provided through the periphery of the lamp frame 2. The locking member 9 is rotatably disposed within the second notch 11. The locking member 9 can be rotatably accommodated within the second notch 11 or rotatably protrude outward from the through hole 8. Specifically, the second notch of the lamp frame provides rotational space for the locking member: when it is necessary to lock the limiting ring, the locking member is rotated so that one end protrudes outward from the through hole of the limiting ring. The outwardly protruding locking member can prevent the limiting ring from rotating circumferentially (the limiting ring will be resisted by the locking member when it rotates); when it is necessary to unlock, the locking member is rotated in the opposite direction so that it is completely accommodated within the second notch. At this time, the locking member no longer obstructs the limiting ring, and the limiting ring can rotate freely.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the lamp frame 2 has a recessed groove 12 along its circumference, and the periphery of the limiting ring 7 is threadedly connected to a precision screw 13, one end of which extends into the groove 12. Specifically, the groove on the outer periphery of the lamp frame provides a positioning reference for the precision screw. Tightening the precision screw on the periphery of the limiting ring causes one end of the screw to extend into the groove along the thread, and the screw abuts against the side wall of the groove, causing the limiting ring to rotate circumferentially.

[0019] Furthermore, an LED light module 14 is provided inside the lamp cavity 3. Specifically, the LED light module is fixedly installed inside the lamp cavity of the lamp housing, and the lamp cavity provides a closed installation space for the LED light module (which can prevent dust and moisture). When the LED light module is powered on, the LED chip inside it emits light, and the light is emitted through the light-transmitting area of ​​the lamp frame (such as the light-transmitting hole or light-transmitting panel reserved in the lamp frame) to realize the lighting function of the panel light. At the same time, the structural design of the lamp cavity can reduce the loss of light in the lamp housing and improve the lighting efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the lamp housing 1 is symmetrically provided with spring clips 15 for installation and connection on both sides. Specifically, the spring clips are made of metal material with elastic deformation capability and are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the lamp housing. When installing the panel light, align the lamp housing with the installation groove of the ceiling or suspended ceiling, press the lamp housing to cause the spring clips to contract under force. After the lamp housing enters the installation position, the spring clips restore their elastic deformation, and their two protruding parts are engaged with the inner wall of the installation groove. The elastic force of the spring clips fixes the lamp housing in the installation position. When disassembling, only external force needs to be applied to press the spring clips to retract them, and the panel light can be taken out, realizing quick installation and disassembly.
