Description

Panel light TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lamps and lanterns, in particular to a panel light. BACKGROUND

[0002] The panel light is a kind of lighting equipment, which is usually used for indoor lighting, especially in places such as offices, shopping malls, homes and hospitals that require uniform lighting. The periphery of the lamp housing of the conventional panel light has a frame, and the lampshade is fixedly connected to the frame of the lamp housing. Generally, the lampshade and the frame are connected by snap type connection, screw fixed connection or glue bonding.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent No. CN220506593U (application No. 202321981198.7) discloses a full-plastic panel light, which comprises a base plate and a diffusion plate. The base plate is provided with a receiving cavity, and a plurality of light source plates and a driving plate are arranged in the receiving cavity. The light source plates are electrically connected to the driving plate, and the driving plate is connected to an input line. A plurality of lamp beads are arranged on the light source plates. A frame is arranged around the outer side of the base plate. A glue groove is arranged around the surface of the frame facing the light-emitting surface. Glue is coated in the glue groove. The bottom surface of the diffusion plate is bonded to the frame by glue.

[0004] In the above structure, the bottom surface of the diffusion plate is bonded to the frame by glue, which can hide the frame structure of the diffusion plate, so that only the diffusion plate is exposed on the entire installation surface, and the entire installation surface is clean and beautiful. However, the above structure still has the following problems: first, the firmness of the glue bonding needs to be verified; second, although the frame cannot be seen on the installation surface, the frame is actually provided, and the structure is redundant. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a frameless panel light with simple structure and reliable connection in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problem is as follows: a panel light comprises a lamp housing, a light-emitting assembly arranged in the lamp housing, and a lampshade arranged below the lamp housing. The lamp housing comprises a housing top and a peripheral wall extending downward from the peripheral edge of the housing top. The peripheral edge of the peripheral wall extends outwardly to form a first connecting plate. The peripheral edge of the lampshade is bent inwardly to form a fourth connecting plate. The first connecting plate is clamped in a receiving area between the fourth connecting plate and the upper surface of the lampshade.

[0007] In order to facilitate processing, the lamp shell is a metal shell, the lampshade is a plastic plate, and the fourth connecting plate is formed by hot deformation processing from the lampshade. Hot deformation processing of plastic mainly involves the processing method of thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic, and is a conventional processing method; in the embodiment, the lamp shell is a metal shell, and the hot deformation processing temperature of plastic is usually much lower than the hot processing temperature of metal, so hot deformation processing on the lampshade will not cause adverse effects on the lamp shell.

[0008] In order to reduce the difficulty of forming the fourth connecting plate in hot deformation processing, the shell top of the lamp shell is rectangular, and correspondingly, the lampshade is also rectangular, the fourth connecting plate extends on the periphery of each of the four sides of the lampshade, and the end portions of adjacent two fourth connecting plates are spaced apart to form a second gap. The rectangular lampshade only needs to be hot-deformed on four sides, and each side only needs to be simply bent; in other embodiments, the lampshade can also be a polygon with other number of sides; when each side of the lampshade is hot-deformed, excess plastic plates of the lampshade will appear at the corners of adjacent sides, and the plastic plates of the lampshade at the corners of adjacent sides can be cut off before hot deformation processing, for example, a square plastic plate of the lampshade is cut off at each corner, so that the end portions of adjacent two fourth connecting plates are spaced apart to form a second gap.

[0009] In order to reduce the difficulty of hot deformation processing, the outer edge of the first connecting plate extends upwardly to have a second connecting plate, the periphery of the lampshade extends upwardly to have a third connecting plate, the distal end of the third connecting plate extends inwardly to have the fourth connecting plate, the top of the second connecting plate abuts the inner side of the fourth connecting plate, and the bottom of the second connecting plate abuts the upper surface of the lampshade.

[0010] Preferably, the fourth connecting plate is formed by hot deformation processing from the third connecting plate. The third connecting plate can be integrally stamped and formed with the lampshade, and during assembly processing, only the third connecting plate needs to be hot-deformed to form the fourth connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the third connecting plate is formed by hot deformation processing from the lampshade. In the embodiment, the fourth connecting plate and the third connecting plate are both formed by hot deformation processing.

[0012] Preferably, the shell top of the lamp shell is rectangular, and correspondingly, the lampshade is also rectangular, the third connecting plate and the fourth connecting plate extend on the periphery of each of the four sides of the lampshade, the end portions of adjacent two fourth connecting plates are spaced apart to form a second gap, and the end portions of adjacent two third connecting plates are spaced apart to form a first gap.

[0013] Preferably, the peripheral wall extends downwardly and outwardly from the periphery of the shell top, and hooks for connecting with the outside are arranged on the two opposite outer side walls of the peripheral wall.

[0014] Preferably, a junction box is arranged on the outer side wall of the peripheral wall, and the side wall where the hook is arranged is adjacent to the side wall where the junction box is arranged.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present application are that the peripheral edge of the lamp shell is directly limited in the accommodating area between the folded edge (the fourth connecting plate) of the lampshade peripheral edge and the upper surface of the lampshade, i.e., the two are directly limited and connected without the need of additionally arranging a frame, thus simplifying the structure of the panel lamp; in addition, the lamp shell is connected with the lampshade through the deformation of the lampshade and the clamping of the lamp shell, and the connection is firm.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 1-4, a preferred embodiment of the panel lamp of the present application includes a lamp shell 1, a light emitting assembly 2 arranged in the lamp shell 1, and a lampshade 3 arranged below the lamp shell 1.

[0023] The lamp shell 1 is a metal shell having a shell top 11 in a rectangular shape, each side of the shell top 11 extending outwardly and downwardly with a peripheral wall 12, the peripheral edge of the peripheral wall 12 extending horizontally outwardly with a first connecting plate 121, and the outer edge of the first connecting plate 121 extending upwardly with a second connecting plate 122.

[0024] The lampshade 3 is a plastic plate, and the lampshade 3 is substantially rectangular. The periphery of each side of the lampshade 3 extends upwardly to have a third connecting plate 31, and then extends inwardly to have a fourth connecting plate 32. In this way, the four sides of the lampshade 3 and the upper surface 3a of the lampshade 3 form a U-shaped accommodating area S, and the second connecting plate 122 of the lamp housing 1 is limited in the accommodating area S between the fourth connecting plate 32 and the upper surface 3a of the lampshade 3. Specifically, the top 122a of the second connecting plate 122 of the lamp housing 1 abuts against the fourth connecting plate 32, and the bottom 122b of the second connecting plate 122 abuts against the upper surface 3a of the lampshade 3. In this way, the second connecting plate 122 is reliably clamped in the corresponding accommodating area S and cannot be loosened at will. The fourth connecting plate 32 is formed by hot deformation of the third connecting plate 31, and the third connecting plate 31 can be integrally stamped with the lampshade 3 or formed by hot deformation of the lampshade 3.

[0025] On the lampshade 3, the end portions of the two adjacent third connecting plates 31 are spaced apart to form a first gap 31a, and the end portions of the two adjacent fourth connecting plates 32 are spaced apart to form a second gap 32a. In the embodiment, the third connecting plate 31 and the fourth connecting plate 32 are formed by hot deformation. Before hot deformation, the plastic plate of the lampshade at the corner of the adjacent side is cut off, for example, a rectangular plastic plate is cut off at each corner. After hot deformation, the end portions of the two adjacent third connecting plates 31 are spaced apart to form a first gap 31a. Before hot deformation of the fourth connecting plate 32, the plastic plate of the lampshade 3 is also cut off in a similar manner, so that the end portions of the two adjacent fourth connecting plates 32 are spaced apart to form a second gap 32a.

[0026] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the two outer side walls of the peripheral wall 12 are provided with hooks 4 for connecting with the outside. In the embodiment, each hook 4 is L-shaped as a whole, and the end portion is connected to the outer side wall of the peripheral wall 12. Meanwhile, the outer side wall of the peripheral wall 12 is provided with a junction box 5, and the side wall where the hook 4 is located is adjacent to the side wall where the junction box 5 is located.
