[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an intelligent downlight, which includes: a cylinder 10, a front cover 20, a light source assembly 30, and a human body detection module 40. A mounting groove 11 is provided on the front side of the cylinder 10; The front cover 20 is located at the opening of the mounting groove 11 and closes the opening of the mounting groove 11. The front cover 20 is provided with a light emission hole 21 and a detection hole 22. The light source assembly 30 is installed in the mounting groove 11 and faces the light outlet 21. The light emitted by the light source assembly 30 is emitted from the light outlet 21 and shines out of the cylinder 10, thereby achieving illumination.
[0024] The human body detection module 40 is installed in the mounting slot 11 and faces outward from the detection hole 22. The human body detection module 40 can obtain information from outside the mounting slot 11 through the detection hole 22. The human body detection module 40 is connected to the light source assembly 30 via signal.
[0025] The human body detection module 40 can be hidden within the mounting slot 11, which improves aesthetics. The detection hole 22 can be designed to be small, making it inconspicuous.
[0026] The specific structure of the human body detection module 40 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in this embodiment, the human body detection module 40 adopts an infrared detection module. The infrared light emitted by the infrared detection module can be emitted from the detection hole 22, and the reflected infrared light can pass through the detection hole 22 and then be acquired by the infrared detection module. Of course, the human body detection module 40 can also adopt other suitable detection modules. The human body detection module 40 can be connected to the light source component 30 wirelessly or wiredly.
[0027] The specific structure of the light source assembly 30 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in this embodiment, the light source assembly 30 includes a lens module and a lamp panel. The lamp panel is installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 11, and the lens module is disposed between the lamp panel and the light outlet hole 21. In this embodiment, a light guide tube 31 is provided on the front side of the lens module. The front side of the light guide tube 31 abuts against the front cover 20. The light guide tube 31 has a light guiding channel inside. The light emitted by the lamp panel passes through the lens module, then enters the light guiding channel, and then exits from the light outlet hole 21. Since the front cover 20 can press the lens module and the lamp panel against the inner wall of the mounting groove 11 by pressing against the light guide tube 31, the light source assembly 30 is not easy to shake, thus improving structural stability.
[0028] In some alternative embodiments, the front cover 20 has multiple positioning posts 23 on the side facing the mounting groove 11, and the human body detection module 40 has multiple positioning holes 41. The positioning posts 23 and positioning holes 41 are correspondingly positioned and engaged. The engagement of the positioning posts 23 and positioning holes 41 can improve the positional stability of the human body detection module 40. The positioning posts 23 can be interference-fitted with the positioning holes 41 to fix the human body detection module 40. The human body detection module 40 can also be fixed to the front cover 20 by adhesive or threaded structures.
[0029] Please see Figures 4 to 5 The specific structure of the cylinder 10 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the cylinder 10 includes a front shell 12 and a middle shell 13, which are detachably connected. The front shell 12 and the middle shell 13 together form the mounting groove 11. The separable design of the front shell 12 and the middle shell 13 is beneficial for manufacturing. The front cover 20 can be connected to the front shell 12 through a snap-fit structure, a threaded structure, or a glue structure.
[0030] In some alternative embodiments, the front housing 12 is provided with a plurality of spring clips 121 on its side to facilitate installation. The principle and structure of the spring clips 121 are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] Due to limitations imposed by the installation and cable exit positions, the middle shell 13 can only be installed at a specific angle. However, the position of the spring clip 121 may not meet the requirements, necessitating rotation of the front shell 12 to adjust the position of the spring clip 121. Therefore, in some optional embodiments, the front shell 12 is provided with a first threaded portion 122, and the middle shell 13 is provided with a second threaded portion 131. The first threaded portion 122 and the second threaded portion 131 are threaded together, thereby enabling quick and easy disassembly and assembly of the middle shell 13 and the front shell 12. The first threaded portion 122 can be either an external or internal thread, and the second threaded portion 131 can be either an internal or external thread.
[0032] The front housing 12 is provided with a threaded clearance groove 123. The threaded clearance groove 123 and the first threaded portion 122 are arranged sequentially in the direction close to the middle housing 13. Alternatively, the middle housing 13 is provided with a threaded clearance groove 123, and the threaded clearance groove 123 and the second threaded portion 131 are arranged sequentially in the direction close to the front housing 12. In this embodiment, the first threaded portion 122 is an internal threaded portion, the second threaded portion 131 is an external threaded portion, and the threaded clearance groove 123 is provided in the front housing 12 as an example for explanation. The length of the second threaded portion 131 can be designed to be longer than that of the first threaded portion 122. The middle shell 13 extends into the front shell 12, so that the second threaded portion 131 engages with the first threaded portion 122. When the front end of the second threaded portion 131 just reaches the thread clearance groove 123, the entire first threaded portion 122 engages with the second threaded portion 131. The front shell 12 can continue to rotate relative to the middle shell 13, so that the second threaded portion 131 enters the thread clearance groove 123. At this time, the first threaded portion 122 is still fully engaged with the second threaded portion 131 to maintain effective locking. Subsequently, the front shell 12 can rotate relative to the middle shell 13 to adjust the position of the spring clip 121 relative to the middle shell 13.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, the cylindrical body 10 further includes a rear shell 14, which is disposed behind the middle shell 13. The rear shell 14 and the middle shell 13 surround each other to form a receiving cavity 141, which houses the drive module 142. The drive module 142 is the power driver for the light source assembly 30. Due to its relatively large size, it is usually arranged outside the cylindrical body 10. However, in some installation environments, it is obviously inconvenient to install or hide the drive module 142. Therefore, the drive module 142 is housed in the receiving cavity 141 located in the rear half of the cylindrical body 10, which facilitates the arrangement of the drive module 142 and makes the entire downlight a one-piece design, making installation more convenient.
[0034] The rear shell 14 can be fixed to the middle shell 13 by means of a threaded structure, a snap-fit structure or a glue structure. In some optional embodiments, a positioning part 132 is provided on the rear side of the middle shell 13 and arranged around the rear shell 14. The positioning part 132 is positioned and engaged with the rear shell 14, thereby improving the positional stability of the rear shell 14 relative to the middle shell 13.
[0035] In some optional embodiments, the rear shell 14 is provided with a plurality of protruding heat dissipation structures 143. The heat dissipation structures 143 increase the surface area of the rear shell 14, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation structure 143 includes a plurality of protrusions arranged side by side.
[0036] In some optional embodiments, the positioning part 132 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 133; the rear shell 14 is provided with a plurality of protruding heat dissipation structures 143, the heat dissipation structures 143 extend into the positioning grooves 133 and are positioned and engaged with the positioning grooves 133. The positioning grooves 133 and the heat dissipation structures 143 are engaged to restrict the rear shell 14 from rotating relative to the middle shell 13, which facilitates the assembly of the rear shell 14 and improves the positional stability of the rear shell 14.
[0037] In some alternative embodiments, the middle shell 13 is provided with a first wiring hole 134, which communicates with the accommodating cavity 141. The light source assembly 30 and the driving module 142 are connected by a first wire, which can pass through the first wiring hole 134.
[0038] The rear housing 14 has a second wiring hole 144 on its side, which is connected to the accommodating cavity 141. The drive module 142 is connected to a second wire, which can extend from the second wiring hole 144 to the outside of the rear housing 14 and can be connected to an external power source.
[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
