Description

Technology sector

[0001] The present utility model application relates to the technical field of wall mounting plates for swimming pool lights, in particular a wall mounting plate for a swimming pool light. Technical background

[0002] Swimming pool lighting is an essential functional component of a swimming pool. It not only provides necessary illumination at night or in indoor areas, but also serves an aesthetic function for the pool area. Swimming pool lights typically need to be permanently installed on the side or end wall of the pool.

[0003] Currently, swimming pool lights are often installed using recessed boxes or rigid mounting bases. Recessed boxes must be installed and embedded during the pool construction, which complicates the process and makes their position or angle difficult to change later. Rigid mounting bases can be added later, but their structure is typically inflexible and not adjustable.

[0004] In practical application, swimming pool designs vary considerably. Parameters such as the width, thickness, and angle of the pool wall, for example in the case of trapezoidal wall cross-sections, differ significantly. Existing rigid mounting bases offer limited versatility and often require adaptation to specific pool wall dimensions, increasing costs and the complexity of production control. Furthermore, the beam angle of the luminaire is usually fixed after installation and cannot be flexibly adjusted to suit usage requirements such as creating different lighting moods, avoiding glare, or illuminating specific areas, thus limiting its practicality and the range of lighting effects.

[0005] To improve adaptability, some mounting plates with simple hinges are available on the market, allowing limited swivel movement of the light. However, such designs typically only allow for tilt adjustment of the light itself, while the suspension area connected to the pool wall remains rigid. They cannot adapt to different pool wall widths and certainly cannot guarantee a stable hold on walls with concave or sloping cross-sections. When installed on non-standard or specially shaped pool walls, there is often a risk of instability, vibration, or even detachment, posing a safety hazard.

[0006] Therefore, to solve the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to develop a wall mounting plate for swimming pool lights. Content of the utility model

[0007] The technical problem to be solved in the present utility model application is to overcome the aforementioned technical deficiencies and to provide a wall mounting plate for a swimming pool light.

[0008] To solve the aforementioned technical problem, the present utility model application provides the following technical solution: A wall mounting plate for a swimming pool light, comprising a wall lamp mounting plate and an adjustable retaining plate mechanism, wherein one end of the wall lamp mounting plate is rotatably connected to one end of the adjustable retaining plate mechanism, so that the tilt angle of the wall lamp mounting plate can be adjusted when the adjustable retaining plate mechanism is suspended on a swimming pool wall; one side of the wall lamp mounting plate is provided with a recessed groove for the swimming pool light in order to mount and fix the swimming pool light. Improvement details:

[0009] The adjustable retaining plate mechanism comprises several retaining plates. One end of each retaining plate is equipped with a clamping device, and the other end with several primary bearings. Each primary bearing has a primary axis of rotation. Two adjacent retaining plates are rotatably connected to each other via the clamping device of one retaining plate and the primary axis of rotation of the other retaining plate, allowing for angular adjustment between adjacent retaining plates so that the device can be suspended on different swimming pool walls.

[0010] The clamping device comprises an upper clamping jaw and a lower clamping jaw.

[0011] At one end of a retaining plate, several upper clamping jaws are evenly spaced, and at the underside of the same end, several lower clamping jaws are evenly spaced. The upper and lower clamping jaws together form a clamping device that can grip the axis of rotation and be rotatably connected to it.

[0012] The mounting plates are equipped with a mounting groove in which a magnet is positioned. When the adjustable mounting plate mechanism is bent and hooked onto the pool wall, the magnets on opposite mounting plates attract each other, causing the bent mechanism to fit more firmly against the pool wall.

[0013] The upper end of the wall lamp mounting plate is equipped with several secondary bearings, each with a second axis of rotation. One of the retaining plates is rotatably connected to the second axis of rotation via its clamping device to allow angular adjustment between the wall lamp mounting plate and the retaining plate.

[0014] Advantages of the present utility model application compared to the prior art: The product is installed on the pool wall using an adjustable mounting bracket mechanism. Because the mechanism's multiple mounting brackets are rotatably connected, its horizontal width can be adjusted to the width of the pool wall. This allows the mechanism to adapt to different pool wall widths, making it suitable for a wider range of pools and easier to use. Additionally, the mounting brackets are equipped with grooves containing magnets. When the mechanism is bent and hung on the wall, the magnets on opposing mounting brackets attract each other, thus increasing the stability of the installation.

[0015] Furthermore, one of the mounting plates is rotatably connected to the second pivot point on the wall lamp mounting plate via its clamping device, allowing for angle adjustment between the plate and the mounting plate. This enables the wall lamp mounting plate to be adjusted within a range of 0-180 degrees. As a result, the beam angle of the mounted light can be adjusted as needed, further simplifying its use.

[0016] Below, a wall mounting plate for a swimming pool light according to the present utility model application is explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0017] With reference to the Fig. 1-11 comprises a wall mounting plate for a swimming pool light, a wall lamp mounting plate 1, and an adjustable retaining bracket mechanism. One end of the wall lamp mounting plate 1 is rotatably connected to one end of the adjustable retaining bracket mechanism. This allows the tilt angle of the wall lamp mounting plate 1 to be adjusted when the adjustable retaining bracket mechanism is attached to a swimming pool wall.

[0018] The wall lamp mounting plate 1 is preferably a plate-shaped component with a specific thickness and strength. A recess 2 for the swimming pool light is provided on one side of the wall lamp mounting plate 1. The shape and dimensions of this recess 2 correspond to the rear part or mounting base of the swimming pool light to be installed. It serves to receive and secure the light, which can be fastened, for example, by means of screws or snap fasteners.

[0019] The upper end of the wall lamp mounting plate 1 is provided with several secondary bearings 10. These secondary bearings 10 are arranged in parallel and have a second axis of rotation 11 at their upper part, which forms a pivot point.

[0020] The adjustable retaining plate mechanism comprises several retaining plates 3. The main body of each retaining plate 3 is an elongated, plate-shaped structure. One end of a retaining plate 3 is equipped with a clamping device, while the other end has several first bearings 4. Each of the first bearings 4 has a first pivot axis 5. Two adjacent retaining plates 3 are rotatably connected to each other via the clamping device of one retaining plate and the first pivot axis 5 of the other retaining plate. This allows for angular adjustment between adjacent retaining plates 3, enabling the mechanism to be suspended on different swimming pool walls. Simultaneously, the number of connected retaining plates 3 can be adjusted according to the width of the swimming pool wall. Several retaining plates 3 can thus be connected to form a freely bendable, chain-like structure.For example, three, four, five or more retaining plates 3 can be connected together, depending on the actual application requirements.

[0021] The clamping device comprises an upper clamping jaw 6 and a lower clamping jaw 7. Several upper clamping jaws 6 are evenly spaced at one end of a retaining plate 3, and several lower clamping jaws 7 are evenly spaced at the underside of the same end. The inner wall on the underside of the upper clamping jaws 6 and the inner wall on the upper side of the lower clamping jaws 7 are curved, as shown in Fig.Figure 7 shows that the upper and lower clamping jaws 6 and 7 together form an arc-shaped groove that can accommodate the pivot axis. In this way, the pivot axis can be securely held in the clamping device while still being rotatably mounted. Furthermore, the grip provided by the upper and lower clamping jaws 6 and 7 ensures that the retaining plates 3 remain stable in the set position.

[0022] The retaining plates 3 are provided with a mounting groove 8 in which a magnet 9 is arranged.

[0023] When this wall mounting plate is to be installed on the top edge of a swimming pool wall, the adjustable retaining plate mechanism is bent according to the actual width and shape of the pool wall to roughly conform to its contour. When the adjustable retaining plate mechanism is bent at a specific angle, for example, into a V-shape or U-shape across the wall, two opposing retaining plates 3 move closer together. The magnets 9 within them attract each other due to opposite polarity, generating a magnetic force. This magnetic force helps to lock the bent position and prevents the retaining plates from unintentionally coming loose due to external forces or vibrations. This makes the entire device more secure and reliable on the pool wall.

[0024] The upper end of the wall lamp mounting plate 1 is provided with several secondary bearings 10, each having a secondary axis of rotation 11. One of the retaining plates 3 is rotatably connected to the secondary axis of rotation 11 via its clamping device to allow angular adjustment between the wall lamp mounting plate 1 and the retaining plate 3.

[0025] The outermost retaining plate 3 in the adjustable retaining plate mechanism is clamped into the second pivot axis 11 on the wall lamp mounting plate 1 via its clamping device at the connecting end. This creates a rotatable connection between the entire adjustable retaining plate mechanism and the wall lamp mounting plate 1. This allows the wall lamp mounting plate 1 to be rotated and adjusted around the second pivot axis 11 within a range of 0 to 180 degrees.

[0026] Regarding the specific implementation of the present utility model application: Depending on the upper width and shape of the target pool wall, the adjustable retaining plate mechanism, consisting of several interconnected retaining plates, is bent manually. This adjusts its horizontal span to the width of the pool wall when bridging it. For walls with edges or curves, the angle at each pivot point can be adjusted accordingly to achieve a good fit of the retaining plates.

[0027] The curved and adjustable retaining plate mechanism is suspended directly from the top edge of the pool wall. The attractive force of the magnets 9 helps to maintain the curved shape and to hold the retaining plates 3 tightly against the pool wall, ensuring a stable hold.

[0028] The swimming pool light is inserted into the recess 2 of the wall lamp mounting plate 1 and fixed there.

[0029] Depending on the lighting requirements, the wall lamp mounting plate 1 is manually rotated so that it turns around the second axis of rotation 11 to a suitable angle, e.g., directly downwards, diagonally towards the pool floor or the side wall. Once adjusted, the friction between the upper clamping jaws 6, the lower clamping jaws 7, and the second axis of rotation 11 holds the angle of the wall lamp mounting plate 1 firmly and anchors it in the selected position.

[0030] The installation is now complete. If the light needs to be replaced or the beam angle changed, the adjustment can be easily made at any time.

[0031] The present utility model application offers broad adaptability to various pool wall widths and shapes, as well as high universality, thanks to the chain-like articulated connection of the adjustable retaining plate mechanism. At the same time, the rotatable connection between the wall lamp mounting plate and the retaining plate mechanism allows for flexible, wide-area adjustment of the lighting angle. The structure is simple, installation and disassembly are straightforward, and stability is high. This effectively eliminates the shortcomings of the prior art.

These terms serve only to simplify the description of the present utility model application and do not imply that the device or component in question must have a specific orientation or be designed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they are not to be understood as limiting the present utility model application.

[0033] Furthermore, terms such as "first", "second", "third", etc. are used only for differentiation and are not to be understood as an indication of or assumption of relative importance.

[0034] Furthermore, terms like "horizontal," "vertical," "perpendicular," etc., do not mean that the components must be absolutely horizontal or perpendicular; they can be slightly inclined. Thus, "horizontal" simply means that the direction is more horizontal compared to "vertical," and not that the structure must be completely horizontal—a slight inclination is permissible.
