Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
The light module 23 is disposed under the light housing 10. The light module 23 comprises a light positive electrode 21, a light negative electrode 22 and a light housing case 20.
The coupling unit 30 includes a plurality of locking slots 31 and a plurality of locking members 32. The locking slots 31 are disposed on one of the light housing 10 and the light module 23. The locking members 32 are disposed on the other one of the light housing 10 and the light module 23. The locking members 32 correspond to the locking slots 31 for the light module 23 to be rotated relative to the light housing 10, so that the locking members 32 are moved and fastened to the locking slots 31. One side of each engaging slot 31 is a closed end for locking the corresponding locking member 32 in position. The other side of each engaging slot 31, adjacent to the corresponding locking member 32, is recessed to form a groove 33 extending toward the corresponding locking member 32. The other side of each engaging slot 31 is an open end. The grooves 33 of the locking slots 31 correspond to the locking members 32. When the locking members 32 are accidentally disengaged from the locking slots 31, the grooves 33 are configured to accommodate the locking members 32, so as to prevent the light module 23 from falling.
The conductive unit 40 includes a plurality of conductive elements 41 and three seats 42 made of an insulating material. The conductive elements 41 each have a first end 411 and a second end 412. The conductive elements 41 include two first conductive elements 43 that are spaced apart from each other and fixed to the light housing 10 and two second conductive elements 44 that are spaced apart from each other and fixed to the light module 23. The first conductive elements 43 are not electrically connected to each other. The second conductive elements 44 are not electrically connected to each other. One of the first conductive elements 43 and the second conductive elements 44 are flexible. The first conductive elements 43 are one of two conductive rings 45 and two conductive elastic plates 46. In this embodiment of the present invention, the first conductive elements 43 are the two conductive rings 45. The first conductive elements 43 are defined as a first positive conductive element 431 and a first negative conductive element 432. A first end 4311 of the first positive conductive element 431 is electrically connected to the power source positive electrode 102. A first end 4321 of the first negative conductive element 432 is electrically connected to the power source negative electrode 103. The second conductive elements 44 are the other one of the two conductive rings 45 and the two conductive elastic plates 46. In this embodiment of the present invention, the second conductive elements 44 are the two conductive elastic plates 46. The second conductive elements 44 are defined as a second positive conductive element 441 and a second negative conductive element 442. A first end 4411 of the second positive conductive element 441 is electrically connected to the light positive electrode 21. A first end 4421 of the second negative conductive element 442 is electrically connected to the light negative electrode 22. The first positive conductive element 431 corresponds to the second positive conductive element 441. The first negative conductive element 432 corresponds to the second negative conductive element 442. The conductive rings 45 are each fastened between every adjacent two of the seats 42. The seats 42 each have an annular wall 47 extending toward the conductive elastic plates 46. The annular walls 47 of the seats 42 are spaced apart so that the seats 42 and the annular walls 47 separate respective second ends 452 of the conductive rings 45. Respective first ends (43a, 451) of the first conductive elements 43 (the conductive rings 45) protrude in the direction away from the second conductive elements 44 (the conductive elastic plates 46). Respective first ends (44a, 461) of the second conductive elements 44 (the conductive elastic plates 46) are fixed ends, and are fixed to the light module 23 at an interval. Respective second ends (44b, 462) of the second conductive elements 44 (the conductive elastic plates 46) are open ends.
In this way, the light housing 10 and the light module 23 can be quickly connected through the locking slots 31 and the locking members 32. When the light housing 10 and the light module 23 are connected, a second end 4312 of the first positive conductive element 431 is elastically abutted against and electrically connected to a second end 4412 of the second positive conductive element 441, and a second end 4322 of the first negative conductive element 432 is elastically abutted against and electrically connected to a second end 4422 of the second negative conductive element 442, so as to complete the electrical connection between the light housing 10 and the light module 23. The assembly and electrical connection between the light housing 10 and the light module 23 can be quickly completed at the same time. The light housing 10 and the light module 23 can be disassembled quickly to release the electrical connection, thereby improving the convenience in use.
Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
