Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting device technology, and in particular to a sensor light for the top of a mirror cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, mirror cabinets are commonly used storage and grooming devices in bathrooms, dressing rooms, and other similar settings. The practicality and convenience of their accompanying lighting directly impact the user experience. Existing mirror cabinet lighting solutions often suffer from the following problems: First, traditional mirror cabinet lights mostly use fixed switches or infrared human body sensors. Fixed switches require manual contact, posing safety hazards in humid environments and being inconvenient to operate. Infrared sensors are easily affected by ambient temperature and obstructions, resulting in a high rate of false triggering. Second, the lighting angle is mostly vertically downward, making it easy for the user's head to block the light, causing shadows on the mirror area and affecting the clarity of vision for delicate operations such as grooming and shaving. Third, the assembly and wiring structures of the lamps are complex. The lamp body and end caps are often fixed with screws, making disassembly and maintenance inconvenient. Furthermore, the exposed wires and sensor circuits are susceptible to moisture corrosion, affecting their lifespan and posing safety risks. Fourth, the installation methods of some sensor lights require a high degree of structural support from the top of the mirror cabinet, resulting in poor compatibility, insufficient stability after installation, and susceptibility to displacement or damage due to vibration.

[0003] These problems make it difficult for existing mirror cabinet lighting devices to meet users' actual needs in terms of convenience, safety, lighting effect, and installation and maintenance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mirror cabinet top lighting sensor light that is reasonably structured, easy to operate, has a good lighting effect, and is easy to install and maintain to solve the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address or partially address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a top-mounted sensor light for a mirror cabinet. This light avoids the safety hazards of touching the switch in humid environments. It also features strong anti-interference capabilities due to hand-scanning, is not easily affected by ambient temperature, light, or other factors, has a low false trigger rate, and exhibits sensitive operation response. The end cover of the lamp body is connected to the circular hole of the lamp body via a cylindrical protrusion on a snap-fit ​​elastic plate, allowing for assembly and disassembly without the need for screws or other tools, resulting in efficient operation.

[0005] This application provides a top lighting sensor light for a mirror cabinet, including a lamp body 1, a lamp panel 2 disposed on the lower side of the lamp body 1, a drive controller 3 for controlling the switch of the lamp panel 2, and a hand-scanning probe 4 connected to the drive controller 3 via a hand-scanning wire. The drive controller 3 is also connected to a power supply wire 5.

[0006] The lamp body 1 is detachably connected to lamp body end caps 6 at both ends. The lower part of the lamp body end cap 6, near the lamp body 1, has a mounting groove 7 for installing the hand sweep line and the power line 5. The lamp body end cap 6 on the front and rear sides of the mounting groove 7 is provided with snap-fit ​​elastic pieces 8. The snap-fit ​​elastic pieces 8 are located in the inner cavity of the lamp body 1, and the side of them that is in contact with the inner wall of the lamp body 1 is provided with a cylindrical boss 9. The lamp body 1 has a circular hole that matches the cylindrical boss 9. The lamp body end cap 6 is connected to the end of the lamp body 1 by snapping the cylindrical boss 9 into the circular hole. The upper part of the lamp body end cap 6 has a mounting hole 10 for fixing the sensor light to the top of the mirror cabinet.

[0007] Optionally, in some embodiments, the cylindrical boss 9 is provided with a beveled surface 11 on the side near the middle of the lamp body 1 for easy fastening, and a groove is provided in the middle of the cylindrical boss 9.

[0008] Optionally, in some designs, the light panel 2 is tilted, with the bottom lighting surface facing the mirror cabinet.

[0009] Optionally, in some embodiments, a connecting baffle 12 is provided on the inner side of the position where the lamp body end cover 6 connects to the lamp body 1, and the outer side of the connecting baffle 12 is in contact with the inner side of the wall of the lamp body 1.

[0010] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects: This application adopts a hand-scanning sensor control method. Users do not need to touch the switch; they can control the light panel by quickly sweeping their hand over the probe area. This effectively avoids the safety hazards of touching the switch in humid environments. At the same time, the hand-scanning sensor has strong anti-interference capabilities and is not easily affected by factors such as ambient temperature and light. It has a low false trigger rate and sensitive operation response. The light panel is tilted and the bottom lighting surface faces the mirror cabinet. The light can be precisely focused on the mirror area, effectively preventing the user's head from blocking the light and creating shadows. It can also improve the lighting effect through the reflection of the mirror, improve the uniformity and brightness of the mirror lighting, and provide a clear view for fine operations such as grooming and shaving, meeting the user's needs for lighting precision.

[0011] The lamp body end cap is connected to the lamp body's circular hole via a cylindrical boss on a snap-fit ​​elastic plate, allowing for assembly and disassembly without the need for screws or other tools, making the operation highly efficient. The cylindrical boss features a beveled surface for quick snap-fit ​​during installation, while the central groove design enhances the boss's elastic deformation capability, ensuring a tight fit and reducing the difficulty of disassembly, thus preventing component damage. During disassembly, a tool can be placed in the groove to press the cylindrical boss, causing the snap-fit ​​elastic plate to deform and allowing the lamp body end cap to be removed. Additionally, a mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the lamp body end cap for neatly storing hand-held wires and electrical cables, preventing exposed wiring, reducing moisture corrosion, extending the device's lifespan, and facilitating wiring maintenance. The lamp body end cap has mounting holes on the upper part, which can be used to firmly fix the sensor lamp to the top of the mirror cabinet with bolts and other connecting parts. The installation structure is simple and highly stable, and it is compatible with different types of mirror cabinet top structures. It is not easy to shift due to vibration after installation. In addition, the setting of the connecting baffle further enhances the sealing and firmness of the connection between the lamp body end cap and the lamp body, effectively preventing moisture from entering the lamp body cavity and protecting the internal components.

[0020] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a sensor light for the top lighting of a mirror cabinet, which avoids the safety hazards of touching the switch in humid environments. Furthermore, the hand-scanning sensor has strong anti-interference capabilities, is not easily affected by ambient temperature, light, or other factors, has a low false trigger rate, and exhibits sensitive operation response. The lamp body end cap is connected to the lamp body's circular hole via a cylindrical protrusion on a snap-fit ​​elastic plate, allowing for assembly and disassembly without the need for screws or other tools, resulting in highly efficient operation.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] See Figure 1-3 The mirror cabinet top lighting sensor light includes a lamp body 1, a lamp panel 2 disposed on the lower side of the lamp body 1, a drive controller 3 for controlling the switch of the lamp panel 2, and a hand sweep probe 4 connected to the drive controller 3 via a hand sweep wire. The drive controller 3 is also connected to a power supply wire 5.

[0023] The lamp body 1 is detachably connected to lamp body end caps 6 at both ends. The lower part of the lamp body end cap 6, near the lamp body 1, has a mounting groove 7 for installing the hand sweep line and the power line 5. The lamp body end cap 6 on the front and rear sides of the mounting groove 7 is provided with snap-fit ​​elastic pieces 8. The snap-fit ​​elastic pieces 8 are located in the inner cavity of the lamp body 1, and the side of them that is in contact with the inner wall of the lamp body 1 is provided with a cylindrical boss 9. The lamp body 1 has a circular hole that matches the cylindrical boss 9. The lamp body end cap 6 is connected to the end of the lamp body 1 by snapping the cylindrical boss 9 into the circular hole. The upper part of the lamp body end cap 6 has a mounting hole 10 for fixing the sensor light to the top of the mirror cabinet.

[0024] The lamp body 1 serves as the overall support carrier, the lamp panel 2 provides the lighting function, the drive controller 3 acts as the control core, the hand-scanning probe 4 collects user operation signals, the wire 5 connects to the power supply, and the lamp body end cover 6 provides sealing, wiring storage, and installation fixation. After the wire 5 is connected to the power supply, it powers the drive controller 3, which then establishes a circuit connection with the lamp panel 2 and the hand-scanning probe 4. The user triggers the hand-scanning probe 4 with a hand-scanning action, and the probe transmits the sensing signal to the drive controller 33 via the hand-scanning wire. The drive controller 33 controls the lamp panel 2 to either illuminate or de-energize based on the signal command. The lamp body end cover 6 engages with the circular hole in the lamp body 1 via a cylindrical protrusion 9 on a snap-fit ​​elastic piece 8, achieving a detachable connection to the lamp body 1. The mounting groove 7 neatly protects the hand-scanning wire and the wire 5, and the mounting hole 10 secures the entire device to the top of the mirror cabinet, ensuring installation stability.

[0025] See Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cylindrical boss 9 is provided with a beveled surface 11 on the side near the middle of the lamp body 1 for easy fastening, and a groove is provided in the middle of the cylindrical boss 9.

[0026] The cylindrical boss 9 is provided with a beveled surface 11 to facilitate quick snap-fit ​​during installation. The central groove design can enhance the elastic deformation capability of the boss, ensure the tightness after snap-fit, and reduce the difficulty of disassembly to avoid damage to the parts. During disassembly, a tool can be placed in the groove to press the cylindrical boss 9, causing the snap-fit ​​elastic piece 8 to deform and disassemble the lamp body end cover 6.

[0027] In some embodiments, the light panel 2 is tilted, with the bottom lighting surface facing the mirror cabinet.

[0028] The light panel 2 is tilted and the bottom lighting surface faces the mirror cabinet. The light can be precisely focused on the mirror area, effectively preventing the user's head from blocking the light and creating shadows. It can also improve the lighting effect through the reflection of the mirror, improve the uniformity and brightness of the mirror lighting, and provide a clear view for fine operations such as grooming and shaving, meeting the user's needs for lighting precision.

[0029] In some embodiments, a connecting baffle 12 is provided on the inner side of the position where the lamp body end cover 6 is connected to the lamp body 1, and the outer side of the connecting baffle 12 is in contact with the inner side of the wall of the lamp body 1.

[0030] The connecting baffle 12 fits tightly against the inner side of the lamp body 1 wall. On the one hand, it enhances the sealing of the connection between the lamp body end cap 6 and the lamp body 1, effectively preventing moisture from entering the lamp body cavity in environments such as bathrooms and dressing rooms, and avoiding damage to internal components such as the lamp board 2, drive controller 3, and wiring due to moisture corrosion, thus improving the waterproof performance and service life of the device. On the other hand, the connecting baffle 12 can limit the displacement of the lamp body end cap 6, further enhancing the firmness of the connection between the lamp body end cap 6 and the lamp body 1, preventing the lamp body end cap 6 from loosening or shifting due to vibration during use, and ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the device.

[0031] The working process of this application: First, connect the drive controller 3 to the lamp board 1 and the hand-sweeping probe 4 via corresponding lines. The hand-sweeping probe 4 is electrically connected to the drive controller 3 via a hand-sweeping wire, and the drive controller 3 is connected to the power supply wire 5. Then, fix the lamp board 2 to the lower side of the lamp body 1, and store the drive controller 3, hand-sweeping wire, and other components inside the lamp body 1. Next, align the mounting groove 7 at the bottom of the lamp body end cover 6 with the hand-sweeping wire and the power wire, so that the snap-fit ​​elastic piece 8 is in the inner cavity of the lamp body 1. Guided by the beveled surface 11 of the cylindrical boss 9, the cylindrical boss 9 is snapped into the circular hole on the lamp body 1, completing the snap-fit ​​and fixing of the lamp body end cover 6 and the lamp body 1. At this time, the outer side of the connecting baffle 12 is tightly fitted to the inner side of the wall of the lamp body 1. Finally, through the mounting hole 10 on the lamp body end cover 6, use bolts and other connecting parts to fix the entire sensor light to the top of the mirror cabinet, and connect the power supply wire 5 to the power source to complete the installation.

[0032] When the user needs lighting, they quickly sweep their hand over the area near the hand-scanning probe 4. After sensing the hand movement, the hand-scanning probe 4 sends a signal to the drive controller 3 via the hand-scanning cable. Upon receiving the signal, the drive controller 3 controls the lamp panel 2 to be powered on and illuminate. The tilted lamp panel 2 focuses the light onto the mirror area, providing clear illumination for the user. When the user no longer needs lighting, they quickly sweep their hand over the area near the hand-scanning probe 4 again. The hand-scanning probe 4 sends a shutdown signal, and the drive controller 3 controls the lamp panel 2 to be powered off, stopping the lighting.

[0033] If internal components or circuits need to be inspected, the cylindrical boss 9 can be pressed to deform the snap-fit ​​elastic piece 8, causing the cylindrical boss 9 to disengage from the circular hole of the lamp body 1, and the lamp body end cover 6 can be removed. The hand sweep wire, wire 5, drive controller 3 or lamp board 2 can be inspected or replaced. After the inspection is completed, the lamp body end cover 6 can be snapped back into place. The maintenance process is convenient and efficient.
