Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a modular lamp. Background Technology

[0002] Lighting fixtures are devices that transmit, distribute, and alter the distribution of light from a source. As indispensable lighting equipment in daily life, their design is not only about aesthetics but also directly affects ease of use and maintenance costs. Currently, most lighting fixtures on the market adopt an integrated or fixed connection structure design. For example, common floor lamps and table lamps typically have their lamp heads, arms, and bases directly connected and fixed by cables, or connected using mechanical screws that require tools for disassembly. This fixed structure has the following main drawbacks:

[0003] First, repair and replacement are extremely inconvenient. When a part of the lamp, especially the light source module, is damaged, users or repair personnel often need to disassemble the entire lamp. Sometimes, due to the complexity of the internal wiring and the fixed connections, it is impossible to replace it on-site, resulting in long repair cycles, high costs, or even the complete scrapping of the lamp. This is contrary to the current concept of sustainable development.

[0004] Secondly, they lack functionality and flexibility. A fixed-structure lamp can typically only serve the scenario it was originally designed for; for example, a floor lamp is difficult to convert into a wall lamp or table lamp. If users want a consistent lighting experience in different scenarios, they need to purchase multiple lamps, resulting in wasted resources and inconvenient storage.

[0005] Furthermore, while some "modular" lighting fixtures exist in existing technologies, the electrical connections between their modules often rely on traditional plugs, sockets, or metal contacts requiring precise alignment. These connection methods typically suffer from alignment difficulties and inconvenient connections, and are prone to wear and tear after repeated plugging and unplugging, leading to poor contact. Simultaneously, such connection structures usually restrict the relative movement between modules, preventing free rotation and adjustment after connection, thus limiting the flexibility of the illumination angle. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art mentioned above, and proposes a modular lighting fixture, comprising: at least one lamp body, the lamp body having a first end and a second end, the first end being provided with a first electrical connector, the second end being provided with a second electrical connector, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector being configured to be able to rotate relative to each other while maintaining electrical connection when the two lamp bodies are electrically connected, the lamp body having a through hole passing through the first end and the second end; a lamp holder, at least one of the lamp bodies being able to be mounted on the lamp holder, the through hole being able to be adapted to the lamp holder; and a base, the base being able to be fixed and disassembled relative to the lamp holder, the base having a third electrical connector for electrically connecting with the first electrical connector, thereby enabling the base to supply power to the lamp body.

[0007] Furthermore, the first electrical connector is a pin circuit board, while the second and third electrical connectors are ring circuit boards.

[0008] Furthermore, the surface of the annular circuit board is made of conductive copper foil.

[0009] Furthermore, the first end is provided with an iron ring, and the second end and the base are provided with magnets, so that the multiple lamp bodies are detachably magnetically connected to each other and to the base.

[0010] Furthermore, the base includes a clamping mechanism that can be tightened or loosened by a screwing operation, thereby fixing the base at different height positions of the lamp holder or removing it from the lamp holder.

[0011] Furthermore, the base has a connection line for supplying power to the base.

[0012] Furthermore, the lamp body includes: a housing; a lamp plate, which is fixedly installed inside the housing for providing a light source; a reflector disposed around the lamp plate for reflecting and distributing light; a light-transmitting cover, which covers the housing for diffusing light and providing protection; and a sleeve installed in the through hole for contacting the lamp holder. Furthermore, the lamp body also includes fasteners for fixing the lamp plate to the housing.

[0013] Furthermore, the modular luminaire also includes a cover plate for covering and protecting the second end.

[0014] Furthermore, the lamp holder is a replaceable structure that can be selectively assembled with the lamp body and base to form different functional lamps such as floor lamps, table lamps, wall lamps, or pendant lamps.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Modular design and maintainability: Based on the identical lamp bodies and their interconnectable design, plug-and-play functionality is achieved. Individual lamp bodies can be replaced independently when damaged, avoiding the scrapping of the entire lamp fixture and significantly reducing maintenance costs.

[0017] Usage flexibility: Based on the magnetic connection structure and rotating electrical connector, users can not only flexibly adjust the number and combination direction of the lamps, but also steplessly adjust the illumination angle of each lamp after connection to meet precise lighting requirements.

[0018] Application adaptability: Based on the detachable connection between the lamp body and the lamp holder and the adjustable fixing structure of the base, the same set of lamp body modules can be easily installed on different types of lamp holders (such as floor lamp holders, table lamp holders, and wall lamp holders), realizing that one product can cover multiple usage scenarios and reducing the user's purchase and storage costs.

[0019] Reliability and stability of connection: The magnetic structure provides convenient disassembly and also provides sufficient clamping force for the electrical connector, ensuring stable and reliable contact between the pin and the conductive copper foil, thereby guaranteeing the continuity of the electrical connection.

[0033] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0034] refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to a preferred embodiment, a modular lighting fixture 100 includes: at least one lamp body 1 having a first end 11 and a second end 13, the first end 11 being provided with a first electrical connector 12, and the second end 13 being provided with a second electrical connector 14, the two lamp bodies 1 being detachably connected via the first electrical connector 12 and the second electrical connector 14, the first electrical connector 12 and the second electrical connector 14 being configured to rotate relative to each other while maintaining electrical connection when the two lamp bodies 1 are electrically connected, the lamp body 1 also having a through hole 15 passing through the first end 11 and the second end 13; a lamp holder 2, on which at least one lamp body 1 can be mounted, the through hole 15 being adaptable to the lamp holder 2; and a base 3, which can be fixed and detached relative to the lamp holder 2, the base 3 having a third electrical connector 31 for electrical connection with the first electrical connector 12, thereby enabling the base 3 to supply power to the lamp body 1. It is understood that there can be multiple lamp bodies 1; the figure is merely an example. When the modular lighting fixture 100 connects to more than one lamp body 1, the first lamp body 1 is connected to the energized base 3, and each of the remaining lamp bodies 1 is connected end-to-end to provide power and illumination. The lamp body 1 connected to the base 3 can be adjusted in direction together with the base 3, while the remaining lamp bodies 1 can be rotated and adjusted to different directions. In some embodiments, a limiting structure can also be provided between the lamp holder 2 and the lamp body 1 to prevent accidental detachment of the lamp bodies 1 during use. The modular lighting fixture 100 according to this application achieves detachable connection and flexible combination between lamp bodies 1 and between lamp bodies 1 and lamp holder 2 through modular design. Crucially, the rotating electrical connection design allows the lamp body 1 to still freely adjust the illumination angle after connection, greatly improving the flexibility of use and user experience.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a plug 8 may be provided at the end of the lamp holder 2 away from the base 3. The plug 8 is generally conical in shape, and the maximum diameter of the cone is larger than the diameter of the through hole 15. The plug 8 is threadedly connected to the lamp holder 2, and the plug 8 is provided to prevent the lamp body 1 from falling off the lamp holder 2. In some embodiments, the lamp holder 2 may not have the plug 8, such as... Figure 8 The lamp holder 2 shown does not require the end cap 8 and the lamp body 1 will not fall off.

[0036] refer to Figures 2 to 6In a preferred embodiment, the first electrical connector 12 is a pin circuit board, and the second electrical connector 14 and the third electrical connector 31 are ring circuit boards. The pins 121 of the pin circuit board can be elastic pins 121. The cooperation between the pins 121 and the ring circuit board is a simple, efficient, and cost-effective solution for achieving a 360-degree rotating electrical connection. The ring circuit board provides a continuous conductive plane, and the pins 121 can always maintain contact with this conductive plane, ensuring the continuity and stability of the electrical connection. In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the ring circuit board is made of conductive copper foil. Copper foil is a commonly used material for printed circuit boards, with excellent conductivity and high surface flatness, which is conducive to forming a reliable electrical contact with the pins 121 with low resistance and low wear. At the same time, the process is mature and the cost is low.

[0037] refer to Figures 5 to 6 In a preferred embodiment, the first end 11 is provided with an iron ring 5, and the second end 13 and the base 3 are provided with magnets 4, enabling a detachable magnetic connection between the multiple lamp bodies 1 and between the lamp body 1 and the base 3. In the preferred embodiment, the multiple magnets 4 and the multiple iron rings 5 ​​are of the same specification, which facilitates standardized mass production and reduces costs. The magnetic connection of the magnets 4 and the iron rings 5 ​​enables "blind insertion" and quick assembly and disassembly, providing an excellent user experience. The magnetic force can automatically align and tighten the connection interface, which not only makes the connection process simple and intuitive, but also provides a stable clamping force for the pin and the ring circuit board, ensuring the reliability of electrical contact and preventing accidental disconnection between the lamp bodies 1 during use. At the same time, the magnetic structure also allows for fine-tuning of the angle after connection.

[0038] refer to Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the base 3 includes a clamping mechanism 34, which can be tightened or loosened by a screwing operation, thereby fixing the base 3 to different height positions of the lamp holder 2 or removing it from the lamp holder 2. In a preferred embodiment, the base 3 includes a base 3 outer shell 161 and a base 3 inner shell. The annular circuit board and the magnet 4 are mounted on the base 3 outer shell 161. The base 3 inner shell is provided with a tightening part 342 and an external threaded part 341 connected to the tightening part 342. The tightening part 342 may be composed of multiple circumferentially arranged strips. The base 3 also includes a nut 343. When the nut 343 is gradually tightened by engaging with the external threaded part 341, the tightening part 342 also tightens accordingly, thereby fixing the base 3 to the lamp holder 2. The clamping mechanism 34 provides the base 3 with a stepless and continuous height adjustment capability relative to the lamp holder 2, allowing users to easily change the lighting height of the entire lighting system without tools, further enhancing the adaptability and personalization of the product.

[0039] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the base 3 has a connecting line 7 for supplying power to the base 3. One end of the connecting line 7 is connected to the base 3, and the other end is connected to a plug (not shown in the figure). External power is uniformly introduced through the connecting line 7, which centralizes the structure and avoids the tediousness and confusion of wiring each lamp body 1 separately, making the system more integrated and safer and cleaner to use.

[0040] refer to Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the lamp body 1 includes: a housing 161; a lamp plate 162, which is fixedly installed inside the housing 161 for providing a light source; a reflector 163 disposed around the lamp plate 162 for reflecting and distributing light; a light-transmitting cover 164 covering the housing 161 for diffusing light and providing protection; and a sleeve 165 installed in the through hole 15 for contacting the lamp holder 2. The reflector 163 optimizes light efficiency and avoids light waste; the light-transmitting cover 164 softens light, eliminates glare, improves lighting quality, and provides physical protection; the sleeve 165 protects the through hole 15 of the lamp body 1, reduces friction with the lamp holder 2, improves durability, and ensures smooth installation.

[0041] refer to Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the lamp body 1 further includes a fastener 166 for fixing the lamp plate 162 to the housing 161, which improves the reliability and stability of the product structure, ensures the safety of the lamp plate 162 during operation, and extends its service life.

[0042] refer to Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the modular luminaire 100 further includes a cover plate 6 for covering and protecting the second end 13. During use, the annular circuit board of the luminaire body 1 at the end furthest from the base 3 is exposed, thus allowing the cover plate 6 to be placed over it. The cover plate 6, as a protective element at the end of the luminaire, extends the service life of the electrical connector, maintains its good conductivity, and enhances the product's appearance integrity and safety.

[0043] refer to Figures 7 to 9 In other embodiments, the lamp holder 2 is a replaceable structure that can be selectively assembled with the lamp body 1 and the base 3 to form different functional lighting fixtures such as floor lamps, table lamps, wall lamps, or pendant lamps. Figures 7 to 9The examples shown are only partial shape examples. It is understood that the lamp holder 2 can be designed into various shapes according to the usage scenario, and combined with at least one lamp body 1 in this application to form a modular lamp 100, realizing the concept of one core module and multiple lamp forms. Users only need to replace different lamp holders 2 to allow the same set of lamp body 1 and base 3 to switch freely between floor lamps, table lamps, wall lamps, etc., which greatly expands the applicability of the product, meets the diverse and changing needs of users, and reduces purchase and storage costs.

[0044] The modular lighting fixture 100 provided by this invention achieves flexibility and maintainability by employing identical lamp body units 1, magnetic electrical connection interfaces, and a universal design that can adapt to various types of lamp holders 2. Specifically, since any lamp body 1 can be connected as an independent module to other lamp bodies 1 or bases 3, users can freely combine the number and connection direction of lamp bodies 1 according to actual lighting needs. Simultaneously, the rotating electrical connectors and magnetic fixing methods used between lamp bodies 1 allow for multi-angle illumination adjustment of connected lamp bodies 1 while ensuring reliable and stable electrical contact. Furthermore, when a single lamp body 1 malfunctions, it can be directly removed and replaced without repairing the entire lighting system, greatly reducing maintenance complexity and cost. Finally, by combining the aforementioned modular lamp bodies 1 with lamp holders of different shapes 2, a single product platform of this invention can meet the lighting needs of various application scenarios.
