Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slot light technology, specifically to a concealed slot light. Background Technology

[0002] Cabinet light strips, as a common indoor lighting device, are widely used in kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, display cabinets, and other furniture to provide localized focused lighting and enhance the ambiance of a space. The installation method typically involves carving a groove in the cabinet or wall at a predetermined location to match the size of the light strip, then embedding the strip into the groove for a concealed installation, achieving a beautiful and simple visual effect.

[0003] Currently, a type of "borderless" or "invisible" recessed light is popular in the market. Its characteristic is that there is no exposed metal frame on the surface of the light body. After installation, only a uniformly emitting light strip can be seen, resulting in a stronger visual unity and making it more popular with users.

[0004] However, this type of frameless recessed lighting has a significant drawback in actual installation and use: to ensure the light strip can be smoothly snapped into place within the mounting groove using its internal or side clip structure, the width of the mounting groove usually needs to be slightly larger than the width of the light strip itself. This results in an unavoidable visible assembly gap between the light strip and the groove wall after installation. These gaps not only easily accumulate dust, affecting cleaning, but more importantly, they severely compromise the visual integrity and aesthetics, significantly diminishing the original intent of the "frameless" design and impacting the end-user experience.

[0005] In conclusion, existing technologies cannot effectively conceal the aforementioned installation gaps while retaining the advantages of convenient and reliable snap-fit ​​installation. Therefore, their concealed installation solutions need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of installation gaps in existing edgeless trough lights and to provide a new type of concealed trough light.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] The concealed mounting trough light includes a long strip-shaped light body and a mounting bracket mounted on the light body. The upper and lower ends of the mounting bracket are provided with outwardly protruding mounting structures. The upper and lower edges on both sides of the light-emitting surface of the light body are respectively provided with longitudinally outwardly extending shielding flanges, which are continuously arranged along the length direction of the light body.

[0009] The concealed recessed light provided by this utility model, by setting continuously extending shielding flanges on the upper and lower edges adjacent to the light-emitting surface, achieves reliable and convenient installation using the mounting bracket structure, while effectively concealing the assembly gap between the light body and the cabinet mounting slot, thus significantly improving the final concealed installation effect and visual integrity. This solution effectively solves the visual gap problem, is well compatible with existing mature snap-fit ​​installation methods, ensures the reliability and efficiency of installation, reduces the exposure of the inside of the slot, and has the practical advantages of easy cleaning and maintenance.

[0010] Furthermore, the lamp body includes a housing, an LED lamp core, and a light-transmitting panel. The housing includes a lamp core mounting portion and a panel mounting portion. The lamp core mounting portion has a U-shaped cross-section, with a lamp core mounting groove formed on its inner side. The LED lamp core is disposed within the lamp core mounting groove. The panel mounting portion is formed at the front end of the lamp core mounting portion, and has a front-opening panel mounting groove formed on its inner side. The panel mounting groove communicates with the lamp core mounting groove. The light-transmitting panel is embedded in the panel mounting groove. The shielding flange is formed at the front end of the panel mounting portion. In this design, the lamp core mounting portion, the panel mounting portion, and the shielding flange are integrally formed, visually ensuring a seamless connection between the shielding flange and the main body of the lamp body.

[0011] Furthermore, the light-transmitting panel includes a panel body and positioning hooks located on the upper and lower sides of the rear of the panel body. The rear of the panel mounting groove has a locking groove, and the positioning hooks are interference-fitted with the panel mounting groove, with the ends of the positioning hooks fastened to the locking groove. This solution, by setting positioning hooks integrally formed with the light-transmitting panel, achieves an interference fit and mechanical interlock with the locking groove at the rear of the outer panel mounting groove. On one hand, the locking action of the hook ends achieves a firm fixation of the panel, significantly improving vibration and impact resistance stability and effectively preventing loosening; on the other hand, it constitutes a "push-and-hold" quick installation mechanism, requiring no additional tools or adhesives, greatly simplifying the installation and maintenance process, and balancing high reliability and ease of use.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes a U-shaped clamping part, which is fitted onto the back and upper and lower sides of the lamp body. The mounting structure is a mounting spring, which protrudes outward from opposite sides of the clamping part. In this design, the mounting bracket wraps around the lamp body from three sides through the clamping part, providing uniform clamping force to ensure a stable and reliable connection. The outwardly protruding mounting spring also functions as an guide ramp and an elastic snap-fit, allowing for smooth guidance and adaptive compensation of groove width tolerances during installation, achieving a quick and convenient "push-and-close" installation.

[0013] Furthermore, the rear part of the panel mounting portion is provided with a mounting protrusion that protrudes from the lamp wick mounting portion along its height direction. The mounting bracket has a first bending portion that cooperates with the mounting protrusion, and the first bending portion is elastically fastened to the mounting protrusion. This solution significantly enhances the connection stability and anti-detachment capability between the mounting bracket and the lamp body by setting an elastic fastening structure between the mounting protrusion and the first bending portion.

[0014] Furthermore, the shielding flange includes an inclined connecting portion and a flush connecting portion. The inclined connecting portion is designed to extend upward and forward from the panel mounting portion, thus making the front end of the lamp body a forward-expanding flared shape. The flush connecting portion is located at the extended end of the inclined connecting portion. The front end of the mounting bracket has a second bent portion that cooperates with the inclined surface of the inclined connecting portion, and the second bent portion presses against the inclined connecting portion. This solution, by designing the shielding flange as a combination structure of the inclined connecting portion and the flush connecting portion, and closely cooperating with the second bent portion at the front end of the mounting bracket, synergistically improves installation stability and shielding effect. The second bent portion presses tightly against the inclined surface of the inclined connecting portion, providing additional front-end support for the mounting bracket and enhancing the overall structural stability; at the same time, the flush connecting portion effectively shields the second bent portion, maintaining a simple and inconspicuous appearance while ensuring structural strength.

[0015] Furthermore, the panel mounting groove is connected to the panel body via the inner side of the shielding flange.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the outer shell extends through both ends along its length, and the lamp body also includes a cover, which is disposed at opposite ends of the outer shell, with at least one end of the cover having a wire passage.

[0017] Furthermore, the lamp wick mounting part and the panel mounting part are integrally formed by stamping and bending.

[0018] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is provided between the lamp wick mounting groove and the panel mounting groove. Attached Figure Description

It is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0029] See Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a concealed mounting slot light, including a long strip-shaped light body 1 and a mounting bracket 6 mounted on the light body 1. The upper and lower ends of the mounting bracket 6 are provided with outwardly protruding mounting structures 61. The upper and lower edges on both sides of the light-emitting surface of the light body 1 are respectively provided with longitudinally outwardly extending shielding flanges 21, and the shielding flanges 21 are continuously arranged along the length direction of the light body 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the lamp body 1 includes a housing 2, an LED lamp core 3, and a light-transmitting panel 4. The housing 2 includes a lamp core mounting portion 22 and a panel mounting portion 23. The lamp core mounting portion 22 has a U-shaped cross-section, with a lamp core mounting groove 24 formed on its inner side. The LED lamp core 3 is disposed within the lamp core mounting groove 24. The panel mounting portion 23 is formed at the front end of the lamp core mounting portion 22, and has a panel mounting groove 25 with an open front end formed on its inner side. The panel mounting groove 25 communicates with the lamp core mounting groove 24. The light-transmitting panel 4 is embedded in the panel mounting groove 25. The shielding flange 21 is formed at the front end of the panel mounting portion 23. In this design, the lamp core mounting portion 22, the panel mounting portion 23, and the shielding flange 21 are integrally formed, visually ensuring a seamless connection between the shielding flange 21 and the main body of the lamp body 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the light-transmitting panel 4 includes a panel body 41 and positioning hooks 42 disposed on the upper and lower sides of the rear of the panel body 41. The rear of the panel mounting groove 25 is provided with a locking groove 251. The positioning hooks 42 are interference-fitted with the panel mounting groove 25, and the ends of the positioning hooks 42 are fastened to the locking groove 251. This solution, by setting positioning hooks 42 integrally formed with the light-transmitting panel 4, forms an interference fit and mechanical interlock with the locking groove 251 at the rear of the panel mounting groove 25 of the outer shell 2. On the one hand, the fastening action of the hook ends achieves a firm fixation of the panel, significantly improving the stability against vibration and impact, and effectively preventing loosening; on the other hand, it constitutes a "push-and-hold" quick installation mechanism, requiring no additional tools or adhesives, greatly simplifying the installation and maintenance process, and taking into account both high reliability and ease of use.

[0032] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 6 includes a U-shaped clamping part 62, and the mounting structure consists of mounting spring pieces 66 protruding outward from opposite sides of the clamping part 62. The clamping part 62 is fitted onto the back and upper and lower sides of the lamp body 1. In this design, the mounting bracket 6 wraps around the lamp body 1 from three sides through the clamping part 62, providing uniform clamping force to ensure a stable and reliable connection. Its outwardly protruding mounting spring pieces 66 also function as guide ramps and elastic snap-fit ​​devices, allowing for smooth guidance and adaptive compensation of groove width tolerances during installation, achieving a quick and convenient "push-and-close" installation.

[0033] Furthermore, the rear of the panel mounting portion 23 is provided with a mounting protrusion 253 that protrudes from the lamp wick mounting portion 22 along its height direction. The mounting bracket 6 is provided with a first bending portion 64 in cooperation with the mounting protrusion 253, and the first bending portion 64 is elastically fastened to the mounting protrusion 253. This solution significantly enhances the connection stability and anti-detachment ability between the mounting bracket 6 and the lamp body 1 by setting an elastic fastening structure between the mounting protrusion 253 and the first bending portion 64.

[0034] Furthermore, the shielding flange 21 includes an inclined connecting portion 211 and a flush connecting portion 212. The inclined connecting portion 211 is designed to extend upward and forward from the panel mounting portion 23, thus making the front end of the lamp body 1 a forward-expanding flared shape. The flush connecting portion 212 is located at the extended end of the inclined connecting portion 211. The front end of the mounting bracket 6 has a second bent portion 65 that cooperates with the inclined surface of the inclined connecting portion 211, and the second bent portion 65 presses against the inclined connecting portion 211. This solution designs the shielding flange 21 as a combination structure of the inclined connecting portion 211 and the flush connecting portion 212, and closely cooperates with the second bent portion 65 at the front end of the mounting bracket 6, synergistically improving installation stability and shielding effect. The second bent portion 65 presses tightly against the inclined surface of the inclined connecting portion 211, providing additional front-end support for the mounting bracket 6 and enhancing the overall structural stability; at the same time, the flush connecting portion 212 effectively shields the second bent portion 65, maintaining a simple and inconspicuous appearance while ensuring structural strength.

[0035] Furthermore, the panel mounting groove 25 is connected to the panel body 41 through the inner side of the shielding flange 21.

[0036] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the outer shell 2 extends through both ends along its length, and the lamp body 1 also includes a cover 5, which is disposed at opposite ends of the outer shell 2, and at least one end of the cover 5 is provided with a wire passage 51.
