[0002] In modern lighting equipment, downlights are widely used in various spaces such as commercial venues and residential environments due to their aesthetic appeal and spatial adaptability. As the core unit for realizing the lighting function of downlights, the lighting module integrates the light source, circuitry, and some optical components, directly determining the lighting effect, light quality, and energy consumption. However, it has also become a key component prone to malfunctions.

[0003] Traditional downlights typically use screws or glue to fasten the lighting modules. During maintenance, technicians must first remove the entire downlight from the ceiling, and then carefully separate the various screws or glued parts that secure the lighting module using screwdrivers, pry bars, and other tools. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to damage to the lighting module and deformation of other components due to improper handling. Therefore, a modular installation structure for downlights is now needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a downlight with a modular installation structure. By setting a detachable lighting module and a snap-fit ​​component, the lighting module can be quickly disassembled and repaired, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A downlight with a modular installation structure includes a housing, inside which a detachable lighting module is installed, and several sets of snap-fit ​​components for snapping the lighting module are symmetrically distributed in the middle of the housing. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a movable groove formed in the inner wall of the housing. A snap-fit ​​block for snapping the lighting module is slidably installed inside the movable groove. A pull rod that drives the snap-fit ​​block to slide is connected to the side wall of the snap-fit ​​block through the middle of the housing. A spring that pushes the snap-fit ​​block to reset is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod inside the movable groove. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the side wall of the snap-fit ​​block and the inner wall of the movable groove.

[0006] Preferably, the cross-section of the card block is wedge-shaped, and the tilt direction of the card block is towards the bottom opening end of the outer casing.

[0007] Preferably, a lampshade is snapped onto the open end of the outer shell, and an annular groove is formed on the inner wall of the open end of the outer shell corresponding to the lampshade. Several sets of limiting blocks that rotate with the annular groove are installed on the outer wall of the lampshade.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the annular groove has several sets of limiting grooves that are adapted to the limiting block evenly distributed along the circumference, and the limiting grooves are concave along the radial direction of the outer shell and the depth is greater than the groove depth of the annular groove.

[0009] Preferably, the lighting module includes a lamp panel and a lens, with the lens fixed to the bottom of the lamp panel.

[0010] Preferably, a number of groups of LED beads are evenly distributed on the lamp panel, and the lens is installed in a position corresponding to the LED beads.

[0011] Preferably, a detachable drive module is installed inside the housing, above the lighting module, and the drive module is electrically connected to the lighting module via a standardized connector.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: By setting up detachable lighting modules and snap-fit ​​components, the downlights can be quickly removed from the ceiling without having to be completely disassembled.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] This utility model provides: a downlight with a modular installation structure, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the downlight includes a housing 1, inside which a detachable lighting module 2 is installed. Several sets of snap-fit ​​components 3 for engaging the lighting module 2 are symmetrically distributed in the middle of the housing 1. The housing 1 forms the main frame of the downlight, providing installation space and protection for the internal components. The lighting module 2, detachably installed inside the housing 1, is the core component for achieving the lighting function. The snap-fit ​​components 3, symmetrically distributed in the middle of the housing 1, are used to snap the lighting module 2 into place inside the housing 1, and also allow for quick disassembly of the lighting module 2 during maintenance.

[0017] The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 includes a movable groove 31 formed in the inner wall of the outer casing 1. A snap-fit ​​block 32 for snapping the lighting module 2 is slidably installed inside the movable groove 31. A pull rod 33, which drives the snap-fit ​​block 32 to slide, is connected to the side wall of the snap-fit ​​block 32 through the middle of the outer casing 1. A spring 34, which pushes the snap-fit ​​block 32 to reset, is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 33 inside the movable groove 31. The two ends of the spring 34 are respectively connected to the side wall of the snap-fit ​​block 32 and the inner wall of the movable groove 31. The movable groove 31, formed in the inner wall of the outer casing 1, provides a sliding track for the snap-fit ​​block 32. The snap-fit ​​block 32 is used to snap the lighting module 2, securing it firmly inside the outer casing 1. The pull rod 33, passing through the middle of the outer casing 1 and connected to the snap-fit ​​block 32, allows the snap-fit ​​block 32 to slide by pulling the pull rod 33. The spring 34, sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 33, has its two ends connected to the side wall of the snap-fit ​​block 32 and the inner wall of the movable groove 31. When the pull rod 33 is not pulled, the spring 34 pushes the snap-fit ​​block 32 to reset, ensuring the stability of the snap-fit ​​lighting module 2. When it is necessary to disassemble the lighting module 2, pull the lever 33 to make the locking block 32 slide against the elastic force of the spring 34, thereby releasing the locking of the lighting module 2 and allowing the lighting module 2 to be removed. This enables quick disassembly, so that when repairing the lighting module 2, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire downlight. It can be completed by simply operating the lever 33, avoiding damage to the components caused by violent disassembly with tools, and improving the convenience of maintenance and the reliability of component protection.

[0018] Preferably, the cross-section of the locking block 32 is wedge-shaped, and the inclined direction of the locking block 32 faces the bottom opening end of the outer casing 1. With the wedge-shaped cross-section of the locking block 32 and the inclined direction facing the bottom opening end of the outer casing 1, this design allows the lighting module 2 to be pressed down during installation. The wedge-shaped inclined surface of the locking block 32 is subjected to force and automatically slides into the movable groove 31. After the lighting module 2 is installed in place, the spring 34 pushes the locking block 32 to reset, and the locking block 32 locks the lighting module 2, achieving quick and stable installation.

[0019] Furthermore, a lampshade 4 is snap-fitted onto the open end of the outer casing 1. An annular groove 5 is formed on the inner wall of the open end of the outer casing 1 corresponding to the lampshade 4. Several sets of limiting blocks 6 are installed on the outer wall of the lampshade 4, which rotatably engage with the annular groove 5. The lampshade 4 is a protective component of the downlight. On one hand, it prevents dust and foreign objects from entering the downlight, protecting critical components such as the lighting module 2. On the other hand, it provides initial light blocking and softening, preventing excessive glare. The limiting blocks 6 on the outer wall of the lampshade 4 form a rotatable engagement structure with the annular groove 5. During installation, the limiting blocks 6 are aligned with the annular groove 5 and inserted, and then the lampshade 4 is rotated, causing the limiting blocks 6 to slide within the annular groove 5. This snap-fit ​​installation method requires no additional tools, is simple and quick to operate, and reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the annular groove 5 is evenly distributed with several sets of limiting grooves 7 that fit the limiting block 6. The limiting grooves 7 are radially recessed along the outer shell 1 and their depth is greater than that of the annular groove 5. The limiting grooves 7 are designed to be deeper than the annular groove 5 and fit the limiting block 6. After the lampshade 4 is initially installed by cooperating with the annular groove 5 through the limiting block 6, the lampshade 4 is rotated further to allow the limiting block 6 to fall into the limiting groove 7. Because the limiting groove 7 is deeper, it can firmly hold the limiting block 6 in place, preventing the lampshade 4 from rotating or falling off due to vibration, external impact, or other factors during use, thus ensuring the overall stability of the downlight structure. When disassembling the lampshade 4, simply rotate the lampshade 4 in the opposite direction to allow the limiting block 6 to slide out from the limiting groove 7 into the annular groove 5, and the lampshade 4 can be easily removed. The operation is convenient and will not damage the components, providing convenience for the inspection, maintenance, and replacement of components inside the downlight.

[0021] It is worth noting that the lighting module 2 includes a lamp board 21 and a lens 22, with the lens 22 fixed to the bottom of the lamp board 21. In the lighting module 2, the lamp board 21 provides a mounting platform for electrical components such as the LED chips 23, and enables power transmission and control through wiring connections. The lens 22, fixed to the bottom of the lamp board 21, corresponds to the position of the LED chips 23, and the two work together to complete the light processing. The material and curved surface design of the lens 22 enable it to converge and refract light, effectively processing the light emitted by the LED chips 23, concentrating or diffusing the dispersed light, adjusting the angle and range of the light, making the light output from the downlight more uniform and softer, meeting the lighting needs of different environments.

[0022] Specifically, several groups of LED beads 23 are evenly distributed on the lamp panel 21, and the lens 22 is installed in a position corresponding to the LED beads 23. The evenly distributed LED beads 23 on the lamp panel 21 are used to convert electrical energy into light energy, providing a lighting source for the downlight. The corresponding installation method of the lens 22 and the LED beads 23 allows the lens 22 to precisely process the light emitted by each LED bead 23, ensuring that the light output from the downlight reaches an ideal state in terms of angle, range, and intensity, achieving efficient and high-quality lighting and meeting diverse lighting needs in different scenarios.

[0023] More specifically, a detachable driver module 8 is installed inside the housing 1, located on top of the lighting module 2. The driver module 8 is electrically connected to the lighting module 2 via a standardized connector. The driver module 8 converts and regulates the input power, providing a stable and suitable operating voltage and current to the LED beads 23 of the lighting module 2, ensuring normal illumination and extending their lifespan. The standardized connector design makes connecting and disconnecting the driver module 8 and the lighting module 2 more convenient. When either the driver module 8 or the lighting module 2 malfunctions, the corresponding module can be quickly disassembled and replaced without complex wiring operations, enhancing the modular adaptability of the downlight and improving the maintainability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0024] 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.
