Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting equipment technology, specifically to a wall lamp that is installed on a wall and has a specific frame structure and integrated electrical layout. Background Technology

[0002] A wall lamp is a lighting fixture that is fixedly installed on a wall and is widely used for localized lighting and decoration in indoor and outdoor corridors, courtyards, building facades, and other places. A typical wall lamp usually includes a lamp body for support and installation, optical components (including a light source and diffuser) that provide the main lighting, and electrical components such as a driver responsible for power supply and control. Its structural design must take into account aesthetics, installation stability, ease of maintenance, and protective performance for outdoor environments (such as dustproof and waterproof).

[0003] Currently, wall lamps on the market often suffer from several limitations in their structural design. Firstly, many wall lamps lack sufficient structural strength, especially longer models or those supporting heavy optical components. These are prone to deformation under prolonged use or external impact, affecting both aesthetics and safety. Secondly, optical components (such as diffusers) are often directly fixed to the lamp body with screws, making installation and disassembly cumbersome and inconvenient for light source replacement or internal cleaning and maintenance. Thirdly, electrical components are often scattered, with drivers and wiring exposed or simply covered, affecting not only aesthetics but also hindering effective sealing and limiting the improvement of the overall protection rating (such as IP rating), making it difficult to meet the high standards required for outdoor or humid environments. Furthermore, the lack of integrated switches or dimming controls reduces user convenience.

[0004] In summary, while existing wall lamp technology can meet basic lighting needs, there is still significant room for improvement in terms of structural reliability, ease of use and maintenance, and environmental adaptability. Specifically: 1) The lamp body structure's support for the optical components and its resistance to deformation need to be strengthened; 2) The assembly and disassembly methods for the optical components are inefficient and hinder maintenance; 3) Poor layout and sealing design of electrical components restrict the protection level and safety; 4) Low integration of the user control interface. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of wall lamp structure that, while ensuring lighting effect and aesthetics, can significantly enhance the overall structural integrity, simplify maintenance procedures, and effectively improve its reliability and lifespan in harsh environments.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention aims to provide a frame-type wall lamp solution that is structurally stable, easy to install and maintain, and has a high level of protection. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing wall lamp products in terms of structural reliability, ease of use and maintenance, and environmental adaptability, and to provide a new type of frame-type wall lamp. Specific invention objectives include:

[0007] 1. Enhance structural integrity and stability: By optimizing the design of the main structure of the lamp body, its load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance are improved, ensuring the structural safety and shape stability of the lamp for long-term use.

[0008] 2. Enables convenient installation and efficient maintenance: The design features easy-to-assemble and disassemble optical component connection methods and a modular internal layout, simplifying the process of on-site installation, post-installation cleaning, light source replacement, or component maintenance.

[0009] 3. Enhance environmental protection performance and safety: Through reasonable sealing and encapsulation design, electrical components are effectively integrated and protected, thereby significantly improving the dustproof and waterproof rating of the lamps and expanding their application scenarios to harsh outdoor and semi-outdoor environments.

[0010] 4. Optimize user experience and function integration: In the structural design, consider the reasonable integration of user control interfaces to improve the convenience of operation and the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0011] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] A frame-type wall lamp includes a lamp body as the main support, an optical component disposed on the front side of the lamp body, and a mounting and electrical module integrated on the back side of the lamp body. Its core improvement lies in:

[0013] Frame-type reinforced lamp body: The lamp body is constructed as an integral frame with a front hollow structure, the hollow area being used to accommodate optical components. Preferably, reinforcing ribs are provided on both sides of the hollow structure to significantly enhance the bending stiffness and overall structural strength of the lamp body along its length.

[0014] Integrated recess on the back side: A recessed groove is designed on the back side of the lamp body. This groove serves as a multi-functional integrated space for the centralized arrangement of mounting components and electrical components.

[0015] Quick-release optical components: The optical components mainly include a diffuser. The diffuser engages with corresponding snap-fit ​​parts at the bottom edge of the groove on the back of the lamp body through a series of snap-fit ​​structures around its periphery, enabling quick snap-fit ​​fixing and disassembly without tools, greatly facilitating maintenance.

[0016] Modular Installation and Electrical Layout: A mounting plate, secured with fasteners, is installed within the rear recess to firmly mount the entire luminaire to the wall. The user switch assembly is integrated into the side wall of the recess. Furthermore, a removable drive cover covers a portion of the recess, forming a closed electrical chamber with the luminaire body to house the driver and related wiring. A cable outlet plug is also provided at the bottom of the recess to regulate cable exit and aid in sealing.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the frame-type wall lamp provided by this utility model has the following significant advantages:

[0018] 1. Sturdy and reliable structure: The overall frame structure combined with reinforcing ribs gives the lamp excellent mechanical strength and resistance to deformation. It can reliably support optical and electrical components and is suitable for long-term use, especially for larger wall lamps.

[0019] 2. Convenient and efficient maintenance: The optical components (diffuser) adopt a snap-on connection, which realizes "one-click installation and one-click removal", making routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning glass and replacing LED modules very simple and quick, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0020] 3. High protection level and strong environmental adaptability: By encapsulating all electrical components, such as the driver, in an independent electrical cavity formed by the back side groove, and combining the sealed design of the driver cover and the wire plug, the intrusion of dust, moisture and water is effectively isolated, enabling the lamp to easily achieve a high protection level such as IP65, and is suitable for outdoor courtyards, building exteriors and other variable environments.

[0021] 4. Neat Installation and Convenient Use: The recessed design on the back allows for complete concealment of the mounting structure and electrical system, resulting in a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the back of the light fixture. The integrated switch assembly facilitates direct user operation, enhancing the user experience. The modular design also facilitates large-scale factory production and assembly.

[0022] 5. Improved overall performance: This utility model achieves a good balance between structural strength, maintainability, protection and aesthetics, and provides a high-quality wall lamp solution that combines high reliability, long life, easy maintenance and wide environmental applicability.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail and expanded below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can fully understand, reproduce and verify this utility model. The described embodiments are preferred embodiments of this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a frame-type wall lamp, which is particularly suitable for outdoor courtyards, building corridors, lobbies, and other places that require good lighting effects, high environmental tolerance, and convenient maintenance. The lamp can be mainly divided into three functional modules: the frame-type lamp body, which serves as the core load-bearing and supporting structure; the optical components responsible for light output and light control; and the installation and electrical integration module integrated on the back of the lamp body for installation, power supply, and control functions.

[0029] 1. Frame-type lamp body

[0030] The lamp body 1 is the structural cornerstone of this lamp, and its core design concept lies in "frame support with partial openwork". The lamp body 1 is preferably made of high-strength aluminum alloy profile through extrusion molding, CNC machining, and surface treatment (such as spraying and anodizing), ensuring excellent structural strength, heat dissipation performance, and weather resistance. Figure 1 As shown, the entire structure is constructed as a regular cuboid frame. Most of the front panel of this frame is cut off to form a rectangular cutout structure 11. This cutout structure 11 is not a simple opening; its perimeter is formed by the body material of the lamp body 1, creating a frame of a certain width. This frame not only supports and connects the optical components, but its width and thickness have also been mechanically calculated to resist twisting caused by uneven mounting surfaces or slight external forces.

[0031] As a key reinforcing feature, one or more reinforcing ribs 12 are provided on each of the left and right sides of the hollow structure 11 (i.e., along the length of the lamp body). These reinforcing ribs 12 can be integrally extruded with the lamp body 1, or they can be fixed to the inside of the frame by welding or screwing. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing ribs 12 can be circular, rectangular, or I-shaped. Their main function is to significantly increase the bending section modulus of the lamp body 1 in the long side direction, preventing the lamp from sag forward or bend as a whole due to its own weight, internal component load, or accidental external impact, thereby ensuring the structural flatness and stability of the lamp under long-term use. In some embodiments, the frame of the lamp body 1 is not limited to a rectangle, but can also be a square, circular, or other irregularly shaped frame. The number, arrangement direction, and cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing ribs 12 can be adjusted according to the size of the lamp and the load-bearing requirements. For example, diagonal reinforcing ribs can be added at the four corners of the frame to improve torsional resistance.

[0032] 2. Integrated groove on the back side

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, on the back side of the lamp body 1 (i.e., the side facing the mounting wall), a regular groove 13 is formed by an inward indentation. The depth of the groove 13 depends on the thickness of the components to be accommodated, typically 20-40mm. The design of the groove 13 achieves multiple purposes: firstly, it effectively reduces the overall visual thickness of the lamp, making it more flush with the wall and aesthetically pleasing after installation; secondly, it creates a centralized and regular space to accommodate all installation and electrical components, achieving modular integration of functions; finally, the sidewalls and bottom of the groove provide a reliable positioning and fixing foundation for the subsequent installation of various components.

[0034] 3. Optical components and their quick-assembly / disassembly structure

[0035] Optical components are the direct carriers of light generation. For example... Figure 3 As shown, its core components include a diffuser 3 and an aluminum substrate 8 (attached to the back of the diffuser 3). The diffuser 3 is typically injection molded from PMMA (acrylic) or PC material with high light transmittance and good diffusion effect, and its shape is a rectangular plate that matches the hollow structure 11 on the front side of the lamp body. The diffuser 3 can be completely transparent or it can have secondary optical designs such as prisms, frosted surfaces, and microstructures to control light distribution. The aluminum substrate 8 can be replaced with other types of circuit boards (such as FR4 boards with additional heat sinks), and the LED light source can be a fixed color temperature (CCT), adjustable color temperature, or full color (RGBW) type, depending on the function of the selected driver 6. At the joint between the diffuser 3 and the lamp body 1 frame, an additional continuous sealing strip or sealant can be designed to achieve complete sealing of the optical cavity, which is preferred for applications requiring extremely high dust and water resistance (such as coastal areas).

[0036] To achieve rapid maintenance, this invention abandons the traditional screw fixing method and innovatively adopts a snap-fit ​​connection. Specifically, multiple snap-fit ​​structures 31 are integrally formed on the four sides or back edge of the diffuser 3. These snap-fit ​​structures 31 typically include a flexible cantilever beam and a protruding hook at its end. Correspondingly, on the bottom edge of the groove 13 on the back side of the lamp body 1, a corresponding locking part (such as a slot or hole) is machined or installed. During installation, simply align the diffuser 3 with the bottom of the groove 13 and press gently; the hook of the snap-fit ​​structure 31 will slide in and lock into the corresponding locking part, accompanied by a clear "click," indicating that the installation is in place. During disassembly, use a flat tool (such as a screwdriver) to gently pry at the pre-reserved disassembly notch to disengage the hook from the locking part, and the diffuser 3 can be easily removed. This design allows the cleaning or replacement of the light source to be completed in seconds, greatly improving maintenance efficiency. The aluminum substrate 8 is fixed to the back of the diffuser 3 by thermally conductive adhesive or a slot, and a high-efficiency LED chip module is mounted on it. The arrangement density and power of the LED chips are designed according to the target luminous flux.

[0037] In addition to snap-fit ​​connections, the diffuser 3 and the lamp body 1 can also be connected by magnetic attraction (a magnet is embedded in the edge of the diffuser 3, and an iron sheet or a magnet with opposite magnetic poles is embedded in the corresponding position of the groove 13) to achieve quick assembly and disassembly. This is also a convenient connection method that does not require tools.

[0038] 4. Install electrical integration module

[0039] The entire module is integrated into the groove 13 on the back side of the lamp body 1, which achieves concealment of function and standardization of installation.

[0040] Mounting plate 2: Located near the center within the recess 13. Mounting plate 2 is typically a metal plate with multiple standard mounting holes 21 (such as keyholes or round holes) to accommodate various mounting screws or bolts. Mounting plate 2 is secured to the side wall of the recess 13 with several high-strength stainless steel screws, providing an extremely stable wall mounting base for the entire luminaire. The dimensions and fixing points of mounting plate 2 have been mechanically analyzed to ensure that the weight of the luminaire is evenly distributed to the mounting wall.

[0041] Switch assembly 4: To facilitate user control of the lighting fixture without relying on an external switch, a switch assembly 4 is integrated and installed on one side wall of the recess 13. This switch assembly 4 can be a mechanical rocker switch, a touch switch, or a proximity switch, and its circuitry is connected to the driver 6. A sealing ring may be provided at the mounting point of the switch assembly 4 to ensure it meets the appropriate protection rating (e.g., IP65).

[0042] Driver 6 and Driver Cover 5: Driver 6 is the "heart" of the luminaire. In this embodiment, a constant current driver that meets UL certification, has a wide voltage input (120-277V AC), high efficiency, high power factor (PF≥0.9), and low harmonic distortion (THD≤20%) is preferably used. Driver 6 is placed in a separate area enclosed by driver cover 5 at the bottom of recess 13. Driver cover 5 is also fixed to the bottom of recess 13 with screws, and its edges are usually designed with downward-extending flanges to fit against the bottom of recess 13, forming the first line of sealing. A sealing gasket can also be added between driver cover 5 and the bottom of recess 13 to further improve the sealing of the electrical chamber. This is one of the key details for achieving a high protection level (such as IP65).

[0043] Cable exit plug 7: A cable exit plug 7 is located at the bottom of the groove 13 (usually near the driver 6). The cable exit plug 7 is made of an elastic material (such as rubber) and has a hole in the center for the power cable and signal cable to pass through. After the cable passes through the cable exit plug 7, the elastic material tightly wraps around the cable, preventing the cable from being scratched and effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering the groove 13 through the gaps, forming a second important sealing barrier. The power cable is connected to the input terminal of the driver 6 inside the groove 13, and the output terminal of the driver 6 is connected to the LED light source on the aluminum substrate through internal wires.

[0044] In an alternative embodiment, the position of the switch assembly 4 can be adjusted to the side or bottom of the lamp. The drive cover 5 can be designed as a base plate that completely covers the entire recess 13, in which case both the mounting plate 2 and the switch assembly 4 need to be mounted on the drive cover 5. The cable outlet plug 7 can be a single plug or separate power cable outlet plugs and signal cable outlet plugs.

[0045] During assembly, the LED light source is first soldered to the aluminum substrate and tested, then fixed to the back of the diffuser 3. Next, the wiring of the driver 6 and switch assembly 4 is connected and pre-positioned in the corresponding positions of the groove 13. The mounting plate 2 is fixed in the groove 13. Then, the driver cover plate 5 is closed and the screws are tightened. The power cord is passed through the outlet plug 7 and pulled taut. Finally, the diffuser 3 with the integrated aluminum substrate 8 is aligned with the bottom of the groove 13 on the back of the lamp body 1 using the clips and pressed to lock it in place. The entire lamp assembly is complete, with a compact structure and clear steps.

[0046] In summary, this utility model, through its innovative frame-type reinforced lamp body, multi-functional integrated groove on the back side, quick-release optical components, and modular sealed electrical layout, successfully constructs a wall lamp with an extremely stable structure, exceptionally convenient maintenance, high protection level, and a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance. It effectively solves the pain points of existing wall lamps in terms of structural reliability, maintainability, and environmental adaptability, demonstrating significant technological advancements and broad market application prospects.
