Description

Lighting control device for a luminaire and luminaire with communication module TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of lighting technology, and in particular relates to a lighting control device for a luminaire and a luminaire with a communication module. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of lighting technology, LED luminaires have been widely used in various fields such as home, business and industrial lighting due to their high efficiency, long life and environmental protection. In order to meet the intelligent needs of users for lighting systems, such as timing on-off, brightness adjustment, etc., advanced lighting control devices are often integrated inside LED luminaires. The core components of such control devices usually include a communication module and a driver, which work together to achieve remote control and fine lighting adjustment.

[0003] However, there are some technical limitations and deficiencies in the lighting control devices of LED luminaires on the market at present. Specifically, the existing design often integrates the communication module and the driver closely in the same unit. Although this integrated design simplifies the overall structure, it also brings a series of potential problems. First, as a key component for signal reception and processing, the performance of the communication module is easily affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the internal electronic components of the driver, which may cause signal distortion, communication interruption or misoperation, thereby affecting the intelligent control effect of the luminaire.

[0004] Secondly, the driver will generate heat during operation, and if this heat cannot be effectively dissipated, it will cause temperature rise to the adjacent communication module, thereby affecting its working stability and life. Long-term high temperature environment may also accelerate the aging of internal components of the communication module, increasing the failure rate.

[0005] In addition, due to the close integration between the communication module and the driver, once any module fails, the control device often needs to be replaced as a whole, which not only increases the maintenance cost, but also reduces the overall reliability of the system. The lack of electrical isolation may also cause more serious safety hazards under certain fault conditions, such as electrical short circuit.

[0107] In summary, in the embodiment, the communication module 2 is externally arranged relative to the driver 1, effectively isolating the high-temperature environment and potential electromagnetic radiation source generated during the operation of the driver 1, thereby significantly reducing the temperature influence and electromagnetic interference on the communication module 2. This design guarantees the stability and reliability of the communication module 2, reduces the communication failure caused by environmental factors, and improves the communication quality and operation efficiency. Moreover, the communication module 2 is fixed to the side wall of the driver 1 through the structure of hanging and buckling, without the need for other external fixing components or positioning components, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the communication module 2.

And it also increases the selectivity of the communication module 2, as long as the interface is consistent, it can be compatible with the access of third-party communication modules 2.

[0115] In the embodiment, the plug-in terminal is arranged on the communication module 2, and the plug-in port is arranged on the driver 1. The physical and electrical connection between the communication module 2 and the driver 1 is achieved through the plug-in terminal and the plug-in port, making disassembly more convenient, and reducing the wire material of the connection, making the electrical cavity more beautiful.

[0116] The driver 1 is further provided with a terminal 13 for connecting the mains and the LED light source. In order to make the upper end surface of the communication module 2 in the same plane as the driver 1, the terminal 13 and the plug port can be respectively arranged at the head end and the tail end of the driver 1. Further, the plug port is arranged in the tail end of the driver 1 in a hidden embedded manner, and the terminal is arranged in the communication module 2 in a protruding manner, and after the terminal is inserted into the plug port, the adjacent end surfaces of the communication module 2 and the driver 1 are in close contact.

[0118] Specifically, the positioning and guiding assembly includes a positioning column 51 and a positioning hole 52, one of the communication module 2 and the driver 1 is provided with the positioning column 51, and the other is provided with the positioning hole 52. First, the positioning column 51 is inserted into the positioning hole 52 in a positioning and guiding manner, and then the communication module 2 and the driver 1 are butted and spliced, so that the plug terminal can be accurately inserted into the plug port for plug-in fixing, thereby avoiding damage to the plug terminal due to misalignment during assembly. Preferably, in order to avoid rotation of the communication module 2 during insertion, the positioning and guiding assembly includes at least two positioning columns 51 and positioning holes 52, or the cross sections of the positioning column 51 and the positioning hole 52 are non-circular and matched with each other. In this embodiment, the positioning and guiding assembly includes two positioning columns 51 and positioning holes 52.

[0119] Embodiment 3

[0120] Referring to FIGS. 5 to 13, the embodiment provides a lamp with a communication module 2, which includes a lamp housing 3 and a lighting control device for the lamp as described in Embodiment 2. The lamp housing 3 is provided with an electrical cavity 31, and the lighting control device is installed in the electrical cavity 31.

[0121] The tail end of the driver 1 is protrudingly provided with a connecting plate 14, the connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected with the lamp housing 3 by a first fastener (not shown in the figure), and in this embodiment, the first fastener can be a screw. The communication module 2 is connected with the tail end of the driver 1, and the communication module 2 is provided with an avoiding groove opposite to the connecting plate 14. In order to distinguish from the avoiding groove in Embodiment 9, the avoiding groove in this embodiment is referred to as a first avoiding groove 25, and the connecting plate 14 is arranged in the first avoiding groove 25.

[0122] The connecting plate 14 is protrudingly arranged at the tail end of the driver 1, and is fixed to the lamp shell 3 by the first fastener, so that the tail end of the driver 1 can be fixed to the lamp shell 3 by the first fastener to avoid shaking. The communication module 2 is provided with a first avoiding slot 25 opposite to the connecting plate 14, and the connecting plate 14 is arranged in the first avoiding slot 25, so that the plug-in assembly of the communication module 2 and the driver 1 is not affected, and the space is saved. Compared with arranging the connecting plate 14 on the left and right sides of the driver 1, the design of the embodiment is more compact, and the space on the left and right sides of the driver 1 is effectively avoided, which provides more possibilities for the placement of other components. At the same time, due to the cooperation design of the connecting plate 14 and the first avoiding slot 25, the assembly process of the communication module 2 and the driver 1 is more smooth, and the user does not need to worry that the connecting plate 14 will hinder the butt joint of the plug-in terminal 42 and the plug-in port, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the assembly.

[0123] The head end of the driver 1 is fixed to the lamp shell 3 by the second fastener 81, and the second fastener 81 can adopt a screw in the embodiment.

[0124] The limiting assembly 6 is arranged between the communication module 2 and the lamp shell 3, and the communication module 2 is fixed relative to the lamp shell 3 by the limiting assembly 6 after being connected with the driver 1, so that the communication module 2 can remain relatively fixed when being connected and fixed with the driver 1, and the communication module 2 can remain in a relatively stable position. This stability not only helps to ensure the reliability of data transmission and power supply, but also effectively prevents the communication module 2 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force. The limiting assembly 6 can adopt a screwless bolt structure as shown below, which greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process.

[0125] Specifically, the limiting assembly 6 includes a limiting pin 61 and a limiting hole (not shown in the figure), the limiting pin 61 is arranged on the communication module 2, and the limiting hole is arranged on the lamp shell 3. After the communication module 2 is connected with the driver 1, the limiting pin 61 penetrates through the communication module 2 and is arranged in the limiting hole. The limiting pin 61 adopts an elastic pin in the embodiment, and the elastic pin has an elastic force towards the limiting hole. The elastic pin can adopt existing spring plunger, spring pin, etc. The elastic pin includes a spring and a pin shaft, and the spring is sleeved on the pin shaft, and the two ends of the spring are connected with the pin shaft and the communication module 2 respectively.

[0126] Before assembling the communication module 2, the elastic pin is pulled up to overcome the elastic force to avoid interference between the elastic pin and the lamp shell 3. When the communication module 2 is connected and fixed with the driver 1, the elastic pin is automatically inserted into the limiting hole to realize fixation by the elastic force, which is more convenient and fast.

[0127] Embodiment 4

[0128] Referring to FIGS. 14-17, the embodiment provides a lighting control device for a lamp, which comprises a communication module 2 and a driver 1. The driver 1 is provided with a receiving cavity, and the driving unit (i.e., MCU and AC / DC modules) of the driver 1 is arranged in the receiving cavity. The driver 1 is provided with a connecting portion 15, which is located outside the receiving cavity and is arranged above the receiving cavity when the receiving cavity is filled with glue.

[0129] The communication module 2 is arranged outside the driver 1 and is detachably connected with the driver 1. The communication module 2 is electrically connected with the driver 1 through an electrical connecting portion. Specifically, the electrical connecting portion comprises a first electrical connecting piece arranged on the driver 1 and a second electrical connecting piece arranged on the communication module 2. The first electrical connecting piece is electrically connected with the driving unit, and is arranged on the connecting portion 15. One of the first electrical connecting piece and the second electrical connecting piece is a plug-in terminal 42, and the other is a plug-in port 43. The plug-in terminal is plugged into the plug-in port to achieve the physical and electrical connection between the communication module 2 and the driver 1.

[0130] The communication module 2 is arranged outside the driver 1, which effectively isolates the high-temperature environment and potential electromagnetic radiation source generated during the operation of the driver 1, thereby significantly reducing the temperature influence and electromagnetic interference on the communication module 2. This design ensures the stability and reliability of the communication module 2, reduces the communication failure caused by environmental factors, and improves the communication quality and operation efficiency. Meanwhile, the first electrical connecting piece electrically connected with the driving unit is arranged on the connecting portion 15, which is arranged above the receiving cavity when the receiving cavity is filled with glue. Therefore, the glue leakage and other problems do not occur when the receiving cavity is filled with glue (if the plug-in port 43 is arranged on the side wall of the driver 1 to connect with the communication module 2, the existence of the plug-in port 43 may affect the glue filling in the driver 1).

[0131] In the embodiment, the connecting portion 15 is arranged on one end of the driver 1. The plug-in terminal 42 is arranged on the communication module 2, the plug-in port 43 is arranged on the connecting portion 15, and the driving unit is electrically connected with the plug-in port 43.

[0132] Preferably, the connecting portion 15 is further provided with at least one wiring terminal or / and wiring port 16, which is electrically connected with the driving unit and is used to electrically connect with external components. The external components do not include the communication module 2. Specifically, in the embodiment, the connecting portion 15 is provided with one wiring port 16, which is arranged on the top end surface of the connecting portion 15. The plug-in port 43 is arranged on the side surface of the connecting portion 15. By integrating all plug-in ports 43 and wiring ports 16 used to electrically connect the driving unit with external components (including the communication module 2) on the connecting portion 15, the influence on the glue filling can be effectively avoided.

[0133] A positioning and guiding assembly is arranged between the communication module 2 and the driver 1, and is used to position the relative positions of the communication module 2 and the driver 1 and guide the detachable connection of the communication module 2 and the driver 1 through the plug-in terminals 42 and the plug-in ports 43.

[0134] In particular, in the embodiment, the positioning and guiding assembly comprises a carrier 53, and the carrier 53 has a mounting plane 531. The mounting plane 531 is configured in such a manner that the driver 1 is fixed to the carrier 53, and the plug-in terminals 42 are inserted into the plug-in ports 43 in the process of sliding the communication module 2 on the mounting plane 531, or the communication module 2 is fixed to the carrier 53, and the plug-in terminals 42 are inserted into the plug-in ports 43 in the process of sliding the driver 1 on the mounting plane 531.

[0135] The connection between at least one of the driver 1 and the communication module 2 and the carrier 53 is a detachable connection. The driver 1 and the communication module 2 can be fixed by fixing both of them on the carrier 53. In particular, when the driver 1 is fixed to the carrier 53 and the plug-in terminals 42 are inserted into the plug-in ports 43 in the process of sliding the communication module 2 on the mounting plane 531, the communication module 2 is detachably connected to the carrier 53; when the communication module 2 is fixed to the carrier 53 and the plug-in terminals 42 are inserted into the plug-in ports 43 in the process of sliding the driver 1 on the mounting plane 531, the driver 1 is detachably connected to the carrier 53.

[0136] In particular, in the embodiment, in order to fix the driver 1 on the carrier 53, the part of the connecting portion 15 on which the plug-in ports 43 and the wiring ports 16 are not arranged can be fixedly connected to the carrier 53 by a third fastener 82. Thus, the connecting portion 15 not only serves to arrange the plug-in ports 43, but also solves the problem of mounting the driver 1. If the threaded fastener is directly fixed on the driver 1, it is easy to cause problems such as glue leakage, and the problem can be solved by fixing the threaded fastener on the connecting portion 15.

[0137] Further, in order to make the fixed connection of the driver 1 on the carrier 53 more stable, a fixing plate 17 can be protrudingly arranged on the other end of the driver 1 on which the connecting portion 15 is not arranged, and the fixing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the carrier 53 by a fourth fastener 83. The third fastener 82 and the fourth fastener 83 for fixing the driver 1 can be screws and the like.

[0138] After the driver 1 is fixedly mounted on the carrier 53, the plug-in terminals 42 on the communication module 2 are plugged into the plug-in ports 43 on the connecting portion 15, and then the communication module 2 is fixedly mounted on the carrier 53. In particular, a fifth fastener 84 such as a screw can be used to fixedly connect the communication module 2 to the carrier 53.

[0139] The driver 1 and the communication module 2 are fixedly installed on the carrier 53, and the carrier 53 is fixedly installed in the electrical cavity 31 of the lamp.

[0140] Embodiment 5

[0141] Referring to FIGS. 18-21, this embodiment provides a lighting control device for a lamp based on Embodiment 4, which differs from Embodiment 4 in the cooperation and connection of the communication module 2 and the carrier 53.

[0142] In this embodiment, after the driver 1 is installed on the carrier 53, the communication module 2 can be inserted into the plug-in terminal 42 during the process of sliding on the installation plane 531. The conventional installation method of the lighting control device for a lamp in this embodiment is to first fix the driver 1 on the carrier 53, then place the communication module 2 on the installation plane 531 of the carrier 53, align the plug-in terminal 42 on the communication module 2 with the plug-in port 43 on the connection part 15, then slide the communication module 2 on the installation plane 531 until the plug-in terminal 42 is inserted into the plug-in port 43 and plugged in place, and then fix the communication module 2 on the carrier 53. In this embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the installation method of the lighting control device refers to the above-mentioned "conventional installation method".

[0143] Of course, the above installation method is only one possible installation method of the lighting control device in this embodiment, and is not a limitation on the lighting control device in this embodiment. The user can also use other installation sequences when installing the lighting control device, such as first plugging the plug-in terminal 42 on the communication module 2 with the plug-in port 43 on the connection part 15, and then fixing the communication module 2 and the driver 1 connected together on the carrier 53, etc.

[0144] For ease of description, the moving direction of the plug-in terminal 42 during the process of inserting the plug-in terminal 42 into the plug-in port 43 (also the moving direction of the communication module 2) is defined as the first direction, both the first direction and the second direction are parallel to the installation platform, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the installation platform; the process of sliding the communication module 2 on the installation plane 531 to plug the plug-in terminal 42 with the plug-in port 43 is referred to as the sliding installation process of the communication module 2.

[0145] The bearing 53 can be provided with a guide portion 532 having a guide surface (the guide surface is hidden in the figure and not marked) arranged along the first direction, and one end surface of the communication module 2 abuts against the guide surface. The arrangement of the guide surface makes it possible that, during the sliding installation of the communication module 2, as long as the communication module 2 is placed on the installation plane 531 and abuts against the guide surface, and then the communication module 2 is pushed towards the driver 1, the communication module 2 slides against the installation plane 531 and the guide surface respectively, and under the limitation of the installation plane 531 and the guide surface, the plug-in terminal 42 can be smoothly inserted into the plug-in port 43, and the whole process is convenient and fast.

[0146] Specifically, the guide portion 532 can be a guide plate protruding on the installation plane 531. More specifically, the bearing 53 can be a plate (referred to as a bearing plate), and part of the bearing plate is bent towards the third direction, and the end of the bent part can form the guide plate.

[0147] The bearing 53 is provided with a limiting portion 533 having a limiting surface (the limiting surface is hidden in the figure and not marked) arranged towards the installation plane 531 and parallel to the installation plane 531, and the limiting portion 533 is used to limit the freedom of the communication module 2 in the direction perpendicular to the installation plane 531 (i.e. the third direction).

[0148] Specifically, the limiting portion 533 can be a limiting plate parallel to the installation plane 531, and the limiting surface is the surface of the limiting plate towards the installation plane 531; the communication module 2 is provided with a limiting groove 26 matching the shape of the limiting plate, and the limiting plate extends into the limiting groove 26. When the limiting portion 533 is the limiting plate, the cooperation of the limiting plate and the limiting groove 26 alone can limit the freedom of the communication module 2 in the third direction.

[0149] More specifically, part of the bearing plate (here, the part arranged along the first direction on the bearing plate) is first bent towards the third direction and then bent towards the second direction, and the end of the bent part forms the limiting plate. Among them, the part formed when bent towards the third direction can be referred to as a first transition plate 534, and the two ends of the first transition plate 534 in the third direction are connected with the bearing plate and the limiting plate respectively, and the connection place (i.e. the bending place) can be a circular arc transition. Preferably, the two ends of the communication module 2 in the second direction are respectively provided with the first transition plate 534 (the first transition plate 534 does not exist alone, and the first transition plate 534 must be connected with the limiting plate).

[0150] Preferably, the limiting groove 26 is arranged along the first direction, and one end of the limiting groove 26 towards the driver 1 extends to the outer surface of the communication module 2. During the sliding installation of the communication module 2, when different surfaces of the communication module 2 abut against and slide on the installation plane 531 and the guide surface respectively, the limiting plate can smoothly slide into and slide in the limiting groove 26.

[0151] The first hole 535 is arranged on the mounting plane 531 (the first hole 535 is actually arranged on the bearing 53), the second hole (the second hole is blocked in the figure and is not marked) is arranged on the communication module 2, and the latch 85 is sequentially arranged through the first hole 535 and the second hole. Specifically, in the embodiment, the latch 85 can be an elastic pin, the elastic pin has an elastic force towards the first hole 535, the elastic pin can be a current spring plunger, a spring pin or the like, the elastic pin is fixedly arranged on the communication module 2, the elastic pin includes a spring and a pin shaft, the spring is sleeved on the pin shaft, and two ends of the spring are connected with the pin shaft and the communication module 2 respectively; the pin shaft is stretched out through the second hole on the communication module 2 under the elastic force of the spring and then is inserted into the first hole 535 on the bearing 53.

[0152] In the sliding installation process of the communication module 2, the communication module 2 is first placed on the mounting plane 531, two outer surfaces of the communication module 2 abut against the mounting plane 531 and the guide surface respectively, and the communication module 2 is pushed to move towards the driver 1 (in the moving process, the two outer surfaces of the communication module 2 slide on the mounting plane 531 and the guide surface respectively); in the moving process, the limiting plate is smoothly inserted into the limiting groove 26 on the communication module 2 and slides in the limiting groove 26, and when the elastic pin interferes with the bearing 53, the elastic pin is pulled to make the communication module 2 continue to smoothly move, then the spring pin is released to abut against the mounting plane 531 and slide on the mounting plane 531 with the communication module 2; after the plug-in terminal 42 on the communication module 2 is inserted into the plug-in port 43 on the connecting part 15 and is plugged in place, the communication module 2 stops moving, and at this time, the spring pin is just inserted into the first hole 535, the electrical connection between the communication module 2 and the driver 1 is completed, and the communication module 2 is installed and fixed on the bearing 53.

[0153] The lighting control device provided in the embodiment and installed in the lamp has the communication device with the communication module 2 arranged outside the driver 1, the high-temperature environment and the potential electromagnetic radiation source generated when the driver 1 operates are effectively isolated, and the temperature influence and the electromagnetic interference on the communication module 2 are significantly reduced. This design guarantees the stability and reliability of the communication module 2, reduces the communication failure caused by environmental factors, and improves the communication quality and operation efficiency. At the same time, since the connecting part 15 provided with the plug-in port 43 on the driver 1 protrudes from one end of the driver 1 instead of being directly arranged beside the containing cavity of the driver 1, the glue leakage and the like do not occur when the glue is poured into the containing cavity.

[0154] And the connection part 15 not only plays a role for setting the plug-in port 43, the wiring port 16, and is generally fixed by a threaded fastener when fixing the driver 1, and if the threaded fastener is directly fixed on the driver 1, it is easy to cause problems such as glue leakage, and by fixing the threaded fastener on the connection part 15, the problem can be solved, that is, the connection part 15 protruding at one end of the driver 1 also solves the problem of fixing and installing the driver 1.

[0155] The connection part 15 is not only provided with the plug-in port 43 electrically connected with the communication module 2, but also provided with the wiring port 16 electrically connected with other external components; by integrating all plug-in ports 43 and wiring ports 16 for realizing electrical connection between the drive module and external components (here, the external components include the communication module 2) on the connection part 15, it can effectively avoid affecting the glue pouring.

[0156] The lighting control device for a lamp provided in the embodiment, by setting the guide surface to guide the plug-in of the communication module 2, and by the cooperation of the guide surface and the bolt 85 (and the first hole 535 and the second hole cooperating with the bolt 85) to limit the freedom of the communication module 2 in the second direction. The cooperation of the limiting part 533 (i.e. the limiting plate) on the carrier 53 and the limiting groove 26 on the communication module 2 can limit the freedom of the communication module 2 in the third direction. Thereafter, by inserting the bolt 85 into the second hole on the communication module 2 and the first hole 535 on the carrier 53, the freedom of the communication module 2 in the first direction can be limited. In fact, even without the structures of the guide part 532, the limiting part 533, the bolt 85, etc., only the plug-in of the plug-in terminal 42 on the communication module 2 and the plug-in port 43 on the connection part 15 can limit the freedom of the communication module 2 in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction; but considering that the connection of the plug-in terminal 42 and the plug-in port 43 is mainly used for electrical connection between the communication module 2 and the driver 1, the structural strength is not high, therefore the guide part 532, the limiting part 533, the bolt 85 and other structures are further arranged to limit the freedom of the driver 1.

[0157] The lighting control device for a lamp provided in the embodiment, when inserting the plug-in terminal 42 into the plug-in port 43, only needs to place the communication module 2 on the installation plane 531, and abut the communication module 2 with the guide surface, so as to align the plug-in terminal 42 with the plug-in port 43, align the limiting groove 26 with the limiting plate, and then only need to push the communication module 2 to move towards the driver 1, so as to realize the electrical connection between the communication module 2 and the driver 1, the whole process is convenient and fast. And thereafter, only need to insert the bolt 85 into the second hole on the communication module 2 and the first hole 535 on the carrier 53, so as to fix the communication module 2 on the carrier 53, which is convenient and fast.

[0158] Embodiment 6

[0159] Referring to FIGS. 22-25, the embodiment provides a lighting control device for a lamp, which comprises a communication module 2, a driver 1 and a fixing member 7. The communication module 2 is arranged outside the driver 1 and detachably connected with the driver 1.

[0161] The electrical connection part comprises a first electrical connection member and a second electrical connection member. The first electrical connection member is connected with the driving shell 18 and electrically connected with the driving unit. The second electrical connection member is connected with the communication shell 27 and electrically connected with the communication unit. One of the first electrical connection member and the second electrical connection member is a plug-in terminal 42, and the other is a plug-in port 43. The plug-in terminal is plugged into the plug-in port to achieve the physical connection and electrical connection of the communication module 2 and the driver 1.

[0162] The fixing member 7 is connected with the driving shell 18 and the communication shell 27 respectively, and at least one of the connections between the fixing member 7 and the driving shell 18 and the communication shell 27 is detachable. The arrangement of the fixing member 7 can make the driving shell 18 and the communication shell 27 remain relatively fixed after the plug-in port 43 and the plug-in terminal 42 are plugged and fixed, so that the plug-in port 43 and the plug-in terminal 42 will not loosen in the subsequent use process.

[0163] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the fixing member 7 comprises a first cantilever 71, and the free end of the first cantilever 71 is provided with a first hook portion 72. The driving shell 18 is provided with a first buckle groove 181 corresponding to the first cantilever 71, and the first buckle groove 181 communicates to the inside of the driving shell 18. The first cantilever 71 passes through the first buckle groove 181, and the first hook portion 72 is located in the inside of the driving shell 18 and hooked to the inner wall surface of the driving shell 18, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the fixing member 7 and the driving shell 18. The fixed end of the first cantilever 71 is integrally formed on the communication shell 27, i.e. the fixing member 7 and the communication shell 27 are integrally formed. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing member 7 can be fixedly installed on the communication shell 27 by means of glue bonding or welding connection, etc., or can be installed on the communication shell 27 by means of threaded fasteners, etc.; alternatively, the fixing member 7 and the communication shell 27 can be detachably connected through a buckle structure, and the fixing member 7 and the driving shell 18 can be fixedly connected through glue bonding, etc., or the fixing member 7, the communication shell 27 and the driving shell 18 can all be connected through a buckle structure, etc.

[0164] Preferably, the lighting control device of the embodiment comprises at least one set of first cantilever arms 71, each set of first cantilever arms 71 comprising two first cantilever arms 71; the first hook portions 72 on the two first cantilever arms 71 in the same set are arranged in a facing manner or an opposite manner; wherein the facing manner refers to that the first hook portion 72 on the first cantilever arm 71 is arranged on the side of the first cantilever arm 71 facing the other first cantilever arm 71 in the same set, and the opposite manner refers to that the first hook portion 72 on the first cantilever arm 71 is arranged on the side of the first cantilever arm 71 facing away from the other first cantilever arm 71 in the same set (as shown in FIG. 25).

[0165] In the embodiment, the plug-in port 43 is arranged on the driving shell 18, and the plug-in terminal 42 is arranged on the communication shell 27. The plug-in port 43 on the driving shell 18 protrudes from the outer surface of the driving shell 18. In order to balance the height of the plug-in port 43 protruding from the outer surface of the driving shell 18, a leveling piece 28 can be further arranged on the communication shell 27 and abut against the driving shell 18. The height of the leveling piece 28 protruding from the outer surface of the communication shell 27 can be set according to the height of the plug-in port 43 protruding from the outer surface of the driving shell 18. After the communication shell 27 is installed on the driving shell 18 by the fixing piece 7, the leveling piece 28 and the plug-in port 43 are both located between the communication shell 27 and the driving shell 18, and the leveling piece 28 and the plug-in port 43 can be arranged at both ends of the communication shell 27. The main function of the leveling piece 28 is to keep the two ends of the communication shell 27 at the same height after the communication shell 27 is installed on the driving shell 18, so as to facilitate the buckling installation of the buckle structure and prevent the buckle structure from shaking after buckling. Specifically, the arrangement of the leveling piece 28 makes the outer surface of the driving shell 18 facing the communication shell 27 parallel to the outer surface of the communication shell 27 facing the driving shell 18 after the communication shell 27 is installed on the driving shell 18.

[0166] Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used. In the driving shell 18 and the communication shell 27, the one with the plug-in port 43 is the first shell, and the one with the plug-in terminal 42 is the second shell. The plug-in port 43 protrudes from the first shell, and the leveling piece 28 is arranged on the second shell and / or the first shell to cooperate with the height of the plug-in port 43 protruding from the first shell to make the outer surface of the first shell facing the second shell parallel to the outer surface of the second shell facing the first shell.

[0167] The lighting control device provided in the embodiment is characterized in that the fixing piece 7 is fixedly connected with the communication shell 27 and connected with the driving shell 18 through the buckle structure. After the plug-in terminal 42 and the plug-in port 43 are plugged together, the relative position of the communication shell 27 and the driving shell 18 can be kept fixed, avoiding the shaking of the communication shell 27 relative to the driving shell 18, which may cause the plug-in terminal 42 to loosen or come out of the plug-in port 43 and thus fail. Moreover, the fixing through the buckle structure makes the installation more convenient and fast.

[0168] Embodiment 7

[0169] Referring to FIGS. 26-29, this embodiment provides a lighting control device for a lamp based on Embodiment 6. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 6 is that the structure of the fixing member 7 is different.
