[0035] Emergency lighting indicator lights are suitable for fire emergency lighting and are one of the most common lighting tools in fire emergencies. They have a long emergency time, high brightness, and can be used in emergency situations when the mains power is disconnected.

[0036] In existing technology, the lampshade of emergency lighting indicator lights is usually fixed to the lamp body with screws. However, this fixing method is rather cumbersome. Generally, the lampshade needs to be attached to the designated position on the lamp body first, and then the lampshade needs to be fixed to the lamp body with screws. The process of removing the lampshade is also cumbersome. Therefore, when it is necessary to replace different styles or damaged lampshades, the operation process is cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious.

[0037] In view of the fact that the installation methods of lamp bodies and lamp covers in related technologies are cumbersome and inconvenient to disassemble and replace lamp covers, the present disclosure provides an emergency indicator light to solve the above problems.

[0038] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the emergency indicator light 100 in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the separation of the emergency indicator light 100 in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of the emergency indicator light 100 in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this example, the emergency indicator light 100 includes a lamp body 110 and a cover 120. The lamp body 110 includes a housing 111 and a mounting portion 112. The housing 111 includes a cavity shell 1111 having a receiving cavity and a cover 1112 that closes onto the opening of the receiving cavity. The cover 1112 is detachably disposed on the cavity shell 1111, such as through a threaded connection. Those skilled in the art will understand that the receiving cavity is for mounting electrical components, such as batteries, PCB control boards, and wiring harnesses, while the light source component for emitting light is mounted on the outward-facing side of the cover 1112. The mounting portion 112 is formed on the edge of the cavity shell 1111 that surrounds the opening, allowing the cover 120 mounted on the mounting portion 112 to cover the light source component. It is also understood that the detachable connection of the cover 1112 to the cavity shell 1111 facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the electrical components within the receiving cavity.

[0039] For example, the lamp body 110 is implemented as a rectangle. Correspondingly, the light source component may be implemented as a rectangular LED light panel adapted to the shape and area of ​​the lamp body 110, and the cover 120 is also implemented as a rectangle. In other embodiments, the lamp body 110 may also be implemented as a circle or other shapes, and is not limited thereto.

[0040] The cover 120 includes a connecting portion 121 for mounting to the mounting portion 112 and an marking portion 122 for setting an indicator mark. Exemplarily, the cover 120 is made of acrylic sheet. When the lamp body 110 is rectangular, the mounting portion 112 is U-shaped; similarly, the connecting portion 121 is U-shaped to fit the mounting portion 112, allowing the connecting portion 121 to move along the mounting direction to the mounting portion 112 of the lamp body 110.

[0041] For example, the signage unit 122 is provided with at least one of a running sign, an exit sign, or a directional sign. It should be noted that the choice of signage can be based on the location and function of the emergency indicator light 100, and is not limited here.

[0042] It is understood that the emergency indicator lights can be used in commercial venues (shopping malls, hotels, and office buildings, etc.) and public facilities (hospitals, schools, libraries, train stations, airports, and subway stations, etc.). Installation locations are typically in corridors, stairwells, and safety exits.

[0043] The emergency indicator light 100 also includes a locking mechanism 130. The locking mechanism 130 includes at least one locking tongue 132 and a latch 131, which are respectively disposed on the lamp body 110 and the cover 120. The locking tongue 132 is movably disposed so that it locks onto the latch 131 when the cover 120 is attached to the lamp body 110 to fix the cover 120 and the lamp body 110, and allows the fixed relationship between the cover 120 and the lamp body 110 to be canceled when the cover 120 and the lamp body 110 are separated.

[0044] For example, the locking direction is perpendicular to the mounting direction. It is understood that, based on the illumination direction of the light source component, the mounting direction can be implemented parallel to or perpendicular to the illumination direction.

[0045] For example, the latch 132 is squeezed when the lamp body 110 is engaged or disengaged from the cover 120 so as to be able to be inserted into or removed from the latch 131.

[0046] An example is provided to illustrate the locking engagement between the lamp body 110 and the cover 120. Figure 4 The image shown is Figure 3 A magnified view of A in the diagram. (Reference) Figure 3 and Figure 4For example, the latching portion 131 is formed in the joint portion 121 of the cover 120, and the locking tongue portion 132 is provided on the wall surface of the mounting portion 112 of the lamp body 110 that contacts the joint portion 121. Exemplarily, the locking tongue portion 132 is implemented to be elastic, for example, made of rubber, silicone, or plastic (PE or TPE) as an elastic protrusion. Further exemplaryly, the latching portion 131 and the locking tongue portion 132 are aligned in the mating position. When the cover 120 approaches the lamp body 110 along the mounting direction, the joint portion 121 contacts and presses the locking tongue portion 132 until it deforms. When the cover 120 moves to the mounting position, the locking tongue portion 132 returns to its original shape and inserts into the aligned latching portion 131 to lock the lamp body 110 and the cover 120. Similarly, when it is necessary to remove the cover 120, the cover 120 is moved in the opposite direction of the installation. The connecting part 121 contacts and presses the locking tongue part 132 until it is deformed, and gradually moves out of the locking part 131 as the cover 120 continues to move, thereby canceling the locking and separating the cover 120 and the lamp body 110.

[0047] Preferably, the edges of the latch 132 are rounded or chamfered so that the cover 120 can smoothly press the latch 132.

[0048] It should be noted that the locking part 131 and the locking tongue part 132 can be interchanged. That is, the locking part 131 is formed in the mounting part 112 of the lamp body 110, and the locking tongue part 132 is located in the joint part 121 of the cover 120, and not in a fixed position. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The examples shown are limited.

[0049] exist Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this example, the latch 132 is integrally formed with the lamp body 110. In other embodiments, the latch 132 is detachably connected to the joint 121 of the lamp body 110, such as via a threaded connection. This allows for the replacement of the latch 132, which may wear down due to frequent compression, preventing the latch 132 from becoming worn and unable to effectively engage with the latch 131, thus avoiding poor locking performance.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking mechanism 130 includes multiple sets of latching parts 131 and latching tongues 132 that engage with each other. These multiple sets of latching parts 131 and latching tongues 132 are distributed at intervals along the length of the joint 121 and the part to be installed 112, thereby improving the fixing effect between the cover 120 and the lamp body 110.

[0051] Figure 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another embodiment of the locking structure. Figure 5 In the example, the latch 131 is formed at the joint 121 of the cover 120, and the latch 132 is slidably engaged with the lamp body 110 in a direction perpendicular to the installation direction. An elastic element 1321, such as a spring, is provided between the latch 132 and the lamp body 110. When the cover 120 approaches the lamp body 110 along the installation direction, the joint 121 contacts and presses the latch 132 until the elastic element 1321 is compressed to a spring-like state. When the cover 120 moves to the installation position, the latch 132 returns to its original state under the elastic force of the elastic element 1321 to insert into the aligned latch 131, thus locking the lamp body 110 and the cover 120. Similarly, when it is necessary to remove the cover 120, the cover 120 is moved in the opposite direction of the installation. The connecting part 121 contacts and presses the locking tongue part 132 until the elastic member 1321 is compressed to have elasticity. As the cover 120 continues to move, it gradually moves out of the locking part 131, thereby canceling the locking and separating the cover 120 and the lamp body 110.

[0052] Preferably, the edges of the latch 132 are rounded or chamfered so that the cover 120 can smoothly press the latch 132.

[0053] It should also be noted that the locking part 131 and the locking tongue part 132 can be interchanged. That is, the locking part 131 is formed in the mounting part 112 of the lamp body 110, and the locking tongue part 132 is slidably engaged with the connecting part 121 of the cover 120, and not... Figure 5 The examples shown are limited.

[0054] Figure 6 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the separation between the cover 120 and the lamp body 110 in another embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 6 In the example, the marking portion 122 is formed by protruding in a direction away from the lamp body 110, and the marking is provided on the side of the marking portion 122. It is understood that... Figure 6 The emergency indicator light 100 shown in the example is for fixed connection to the top wall of a building, such as the ceiling. Figure 1 The emergency indicator light 100 shown in the example is fixedly connected to the wall of a building. This allows the purpose of the emergency indicator light 100 to be changed by replacing the cover 120 with different styles, thereby improving its applicability. The locking mechanism 130 facilitates the operator's disassembly and assembly of the cover 120, thus improving installation efficiency.

[0055] Back to Figure 5 In the example, a sealing structure 140 is provided between the lamp body 110 and the cover 120 to improve the sealing effect between the lamp body 110 and the cover 120, and to prevent the emergency indicator light 100 from being damaged due to mosquitoes or rainwater entering through the gap between the lamp body 110 and the cover 120.

[0056] Exemplarily, the sealing structure 140 includes an engaging first sealing portion 141 and a second sealing portion 142; the first sealing portion 141 is disposed on the lamp body 110, and the second sealing portion 142 is disposed on the cover 120. Further exemplaryly, one of the first sealing portion 141 and the second sealing portion 142 is provided with at least one tooth 143, and the other is provided with at least two spaced-apart teeth 143.

[0057] exist Figure 5 In the example, the first sealing portion 141 has two spaced-apart teeth 143, and the second sealing portion 142 has one tooth 143 for interlocking with the space between the two teeth 143 on the first sealing portion 141. It is understood that the cross-sectional shape of the tooth 143 on the second sealing portion 142 is the same as the spatial shape between the two teeth 143 on the first sealing portion 141, so as to achieve the engagement of the first sealing portion 141 and the second sealing portion 142.

[0058] Exemplarily, the cross-section of the teeth 143 of the first sealing portion 141 and the second sealing portion 142 is implemented as one of a triangle, a rectangle, or a trapezoid. Figure 4 In this example, the cross-section of the tooth 143 is trapezoidal. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the tooth 143 is triangular or rectangular.

[0059] Preferably, at least one of the teeth 143 of the first sealing portion 141 and the second sealing portion 142 has a sealing element 144 on its surface. In this embodiment, only the teeth 143 of the first sealing portion 141 has a sealing element 144 that matches its shape. Thus, when the cover 120 and the lamp body 110 are locked together, the teeth 143 of the second sealing portion 142 abut against the sealing element 144 of the first sealing portion 141, thereby improving the sealing effect between the lamp body 110 and the cover 120. In other embodiments, the teeth 143 of both the first sealing portion 141 and the second sealing portion 142 have a sealing element 144 on their surfaces. In other embodiments, the teeth 143 of both the first sealing portion 141 and the second sealing portion 142 are provided in multiple forms.

[0060] More preferably, the sealing member 144 is elastic. In this way, when the teeth 143 of the second sealing part 142 abut against the sealing member 144 on the first sealing part 141, the sealing member 144, due to its elasticity, fits tightly against the teeth 143 of the second sealing part 142, thereby further improving the sealing effect between the lamp body 110 and the cover body 120.

[0061] In summary, this disclosure provides an emergency indicator light, including a lamp body, a cover, and a locking mechanism. The cover is mounted on the lamp body. The locking mechanism includes at least one locking tongue and a locking latch, respectively disposed on the lamp body and the cover; the locking tongue is movably disposed to lock onto the locking latch when the cover is attached to the lamp body to fix the cover and the lamp body, and to allow the fixed relationship between the cover and the lamp body to be released when the cover and the lamp body are separated. The advantage of the above configuration is that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the cover only needs to be moved along the installation direction to be attached to or detached from the lamp body, and the locking mechanism between the two can lock the cover and the lamp body, making the operation simple, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0062] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this disclosure should still be covered by the protection scope of this disclosure.
