Preferably, the lamp body may comprise an L-shaped corner connector, a frame connected with the corner connector, a U-shaped groove provided by the frame to catch the LED plate, and a light guide plate arranged at a bottom end of the frame.


Preferably, the upper support plate may comprise a plate body, a large groove defined by a recessed surface of the plate body, a small groove located in the large groove and defined by protrusions respectively located outward than a pair of elongated plates and inward than a pair of square holes, and a center though hole provided at a position that coincides with the large groove.


Preferably, the fixing assembly may comprise a pair of support plate members arranged in parallel and a cover plate arranged on top surfaces of the two support plate members.


Preferably, the support plate member may comprise an elongated plate, screw holes provided in a middle portion of the elongated plate and corresponding with screw holes of the cover plate, square holes symmetrically arranged at two ends of the elongated plate, tongue plates extend into the square holes along the edges of the square holes to form Z-shaped steps respectively, and bent plates defined by two vertically bent end portions of the elongated plates.


Preferably, the tongue plates which form Z-shaped steps in the square holes are respectively connected with a connecting component, the connecting component is vertically bent in a reverse direction at a middle portion to form a bent plate, and one end portion of the bent plate extends outward to form a V-shaped bent portion and then a lifted end.


Preferably, the cover plate may comprise a center though hole provided on a surface of the plate, a plurality of annular grooves provided around the center though hole and having different radii, and screw holes provided outward than the annular grooves. The annular grooves comprise a plurality of arc grooves which are not in communication with each other.


The present invention provides a technical solution of a method for mounting the flat lamp with a light guide plate, characterized in that the method comprises steps as follows.


1. Screwing a screw into an arc groove of the cover plate of the fixing assembly and into a screw hole provided at an end of the support plate member, and fixing the fixing assembly on a roof;


2. Moving the support plate member to allow it to slide into the V groove of the support plate assembly and then continue sliding until being restrained by the bent plate at an end.


Advantages

1. The lamp is easy to mount.


2. The lamp has a thin structure, large luminous area and narrow frame. It may merge into the roof without ruining the style of the roof and can be widely used.


3. The lamp has elegant appearance and no light leakage occurs at four corners when the lamp is turned on.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will be further explained below in detail in conjunction with drawings.


Referring to FIG. 1, a flat lamp with a light guide plate comprises a lamp body 1, an LED plate 2 arranged on a side wall of the lamp body 1, an upper support plate 3 snap-fitted and connected to an opening end of the lamp body 1, and a fixing assembly 4 arranged over the surface of the upper support plate 3 and connected with the upper support plate 3.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and , the lamp body 1 comprises L-shaped corner connectors 11, a frame 12 connected with the corner connectors 11, U-shaped grooves 121 provided by the frame 12 to catch the LED plate 2, and a light guide plate 13 arranged at the bottom end of


Referring to FIG. 2, the upper support plate 3 comprises a plate body 31, a large groove 32 defined by recessed surface of the plate body 31, a small groove 34 located in the large groove 32 and defined by protrusions 33 respectively located outward than a pair of elongated plates 411 and inward than a pair of square holes 413, and a center though hole (not shown in the drawings) provided at a position that coincides with the large groove 32.


Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the fixing assembly 4 comprises a pair of support plate members 41 arranged in parallel and a cover plate 5 arranged on the top surfaces of the two support plate members 41.


In the embodiment, the support plate members 41 comprise elongated plates 411, screw holes 412 provided in the middle portions of elongated plates 411 and corresponding with the screw holes of the cover plate, square holes 413 symmetrically arranged at respective two ends of the elongated plates 411, tongue plates 414 extend into the square holes 413 along the edges of the square holes 413 to form Z-shaped steps respectively, and bent plates 415 defined by two vertically bent end portions of the elongated plates 411.
