For a ceiling lamp in the related art, generally, a chassis is fixed to a ceiling firstly, and then, a frame assembly is fixedly connected to the chassis. The problem of maintenance or replacement of a light source, an optical element and even a driving element will be encountered in the use process of the ceiling lamp, and therefore, the frame assembly is generally connected to the chassis by a detachable structure.
However, although the frame assembly in the related art may be disassembled from the chassis, the disassembling process is generally troublesome due to the structural restriction of a detachable connecting member, and thus, the disassembling and assembling efficiency is lower.
An example of the present disclosure discloses a ceiling lamp, as shown in
The chassis 1 in the present example is provided with an abutting surface 100 bonded to a ceiling 9, as shown in
The frame 2 in the present example is generally of a circumferentially closed structure with a broad edge, the upper and lower sides of the frame 2 are open, and meanwhile, the lower side is generally provided with a circle of a flanging or a limiting member 21 which is protruded inwards to hold or fix the lampshade 3. The lampshade 3 in the present example covers the opening in the lower side of the frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the frame 2. In the present example, the frame 2 and the lampshade 3 may adopt various assembling structures which are easy to be assembled and be firm in fitting, and thus, the lampshade 3 may be made of a brittle material or other suitable material with good optical properties and anti-aging property, so that the overall service life of the lampshade 3 and the ceiling lamp is greatly prolonged. In the present example, the lampshade 3 may be put from the opening in the upper side of the frame 2 or may directly complete the fixed connection with the frame 2 when being molded.
After the fixed connection between the frame 2 and the lampshade 3 is completed, in the present example, the frame 2 covers the periphery of the chassis 1 in a vertical direction, and the frame 2 may be detachably connected to the chassis 1 by the assembling component 4 during covering. After being connected to the chassis 1 by the assembling component 4, the frame 2 will be exactly in a state of being flush with the abutting surface 100 so as to contact closely to the ceiling 9; and the chassis 1 and the assembling component 4 are also located in a region surrounded by the frame 2 and are not exposed outwards, so that the ceiling lamp may achieve a good product appearance. Therefore, the ceiling lamp provided in the present example may achieve longer service life and a good product appearance at the same time.
The assembling component adopted in the present example may include two parts. As shown in
There are various detachable connection manners. In the present example, a relatively simple and convenient connection manner that the first assembling member 40 is detachably in snap-fit connection with the second assembling member 41 in the vertical direction is recommended to be used. Specifically, as shown in the figures, the first assembling member 40 in the present example includes a snap-fit main body 400 which may be of a columnar structure or another structure with a side surface parallel to the vertical direction; a snap-fit groove 400a is formed in the side surface, parallel to the vertical direction, of the snap-fit main body 400; and the snap-fit groove 400a may be of a structure with one side being only open or a structure with two sides and even three sides being open at the same time, as long as the second assembling member 41 may be in snap-fit connection. At the same time, the snap-fit main body 400 may be directly fixed to or integrated with the chassis 1 or connected to the chassis 1 by arranging a connecting sheet 401 extending in a horizontal direction in the first assembling member 40, and the connecting sheet 401 and the snap-fit main body 400 may be vertically connected to form an L or T shape arrangement.
As shown in
It should be noted that in order to achieve the detachable snap-fit connection of the first assembling member 40 and the second assembling member 41 in the vertical direction, those skilled in the art will certainly adopt a structure including the snap-fit groove 400a and the elastic snap-fit assembly 410 by which motion in the vertical direction can be converted into motion in the horizontal direction, and there are too many structures with the corresponding functions in the related art, the descriptions thereof are omitted herein. Of course, in order to enable the elastic snap-fit assembly 410 to conveniently enter or exit from the snap-fit groove 400a, in the present example, for example, the snap-fit main body 400 is provided with a guide surface 400b for guiding the elastic snap-fit assembly 410. The guide surface 400b may be a plane or a curved surface and may be independent of the snap-fit groove 400a or integrated with the snap-fit groove 400a, which may be designed according to an actual demand of those skilled in the art.
In the present example, a plurality of groups of assembling members may be generally arranged between the chassis 1 and the frame 2 so as to achieve the uniform force and improve the stability of detachable connection. For each snap-fit main body 400, it may be provided with an snap-fit groove 400a in one side surface parallel to the vertical direction, as shown in
In order to weaken or avoid the above-mentioned problems, the assembling components 4 in the present example may be arranged in pairs, and the two assembling components 4 in the same group are symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the snap-fit grooves 400a in the two snap-fit main bodies 400 in the same group further face different directions respectively. In this way, directions of acting forces of the two assembling components 4 in the same group to the chassis 1 and the frame assembly are inconsistent, so that it is very difficult to form an obvious deviation acting force between the chassis 1 and the frame assembly, and then, the snap-fit connection effect is ensured.
In a more preferred solution, the snap-fit grooves 400a in the two snap-fit main bodies 400 in the same group may be arranged to face each other (referring to
In addition to the above-mentioned manners, the snap-fit grooves 400a may also be arranged in two sides, facing away from each other, of each of the snap-fit main bodies 400 at the same time, the snap-fit groove 400a in each side is correspondingly provided with one elastic snap-fit assembly 410, and then, two sides of each of the snap-fit main bodies 400 are acted by horizontal pushing forces of the elastic elastic snap-fit assemblies 410 at the same time, so that the forces within the assembling components 4 are substantially balanced, almost no additional horizontal acting force is applied to the chassis 1 and the frame assembly.
Further reference is made to
As shown in
In this way, by rotating the threaded end cover 410c, the position of the threaded end cover 410c may be adjusted, then, a compression state of the elastic element 410a is adjusted, and thus, an elastic force acting on the snap-fit member 410b is changed. The elastic force acting on the snap-fit member 410b further affects a force used when the frame 2 and the chassis 1 are assembled and disassembled. Particularly, when the elastic element 410a is aged to result in reduction of the elastic force, the elastic element 410a may supply a sufficient elastic force to the snap-fit member 410b again by adjusting the threaded end cover 410c, so that the phenomenon that the snap-fit member 410b retracts by itself due to being unable to overcome the gravity of the frame 2 and the lampshade 3 is avoided, and the service life of the ceiling lamp is prolonged.
When the snap-fit grooves 400a are arranged in the two sides, facing away from each other, of the snap-fit main body 400 at the same time, the two elastic snap-fit assemblies 410 may be arranged on one fixed main body 412 at the same time. The protrusion openings 410d1 of the two elastic snap-fit assemblies 410 are arranged oppositely, and a gap allowing the snap-fit main body 400 to enter is retained between the two protrusion openings, in this way, the snap-fit main body 400 may be in snap-fit connection with the elastic snap-fit assemblies 410 on the two sides at the same time when entering the gap.
Although the frame 2 and the chassis 1 in the present example are assembled by the assembling component 4, the disassembling/assembling directions of the assembling component 4 are the vertical direction and are consistent with the gravity direction of the frame 2, and therefore, the frame 2 is very easy to fall off once the assembling component 4 is aged and damaged or other cases occur, if minor, it may cause damage of the frame 2 and the lampshade 3, if severe, personnel may be injured.
In order to prevent the frame 2 from directly falling off, as shown in
Specifically, a hooking part 12 may be arranged on a side of the chassis 1. The hooking part 12 further includes a hook 5 on the ceiling lamp, the hook 5 is connected to a side in the region surrounded by the frame 2 and may be fixedly or rotatably connected to the frame 2, and the hook 5 may be fixed to an inner wall 20 of the frame 2, or fixed to a fixed member 22 (such as a fixed edge strip) or arranged on other fixed structures. The frame 2 is rotatably hooked with the hooking part 12 by the hook 5. By adopting such a design, not only is the structure simple, but also the assembling is easier.
