The hanging lamp may adopt a structure of suspension wire, which may lead to poor balancing effect. Moreover, the hanging lamp is generally designed to have a single light-emitting surface without a fixed-point lighting structure. However, in the optical design of house decoration, it is generally expected to add a fixed point to strengthen the lighting for some special parts of the wall, such as photos and hanging paintings. One method is to install another guide rail for spotlight, but the installation of the guide rail requires additional wiring, and installation, disassembly, and replacement of the guide rail are very troublesome.

As shown in FIG. 1, a structure of an example provided by the present disclosure includes a main lighting lamp body 1, a first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2, a second auxiliary lighting lamp body 3, a suspension connecting portion 4 and a ceiling box 5.

In this example, the main lighting lamp body 1 is an elongate-shaped hanging lamp made of aluminum, and a lower side thereof is a main light-emitting surface. In other examples, the main lighting lamp body may have a different shape. Depending on the lamp, the main lighting lamp body may also be provided with a light-emitting surface at an upper side, or at both sides thereof, without limited in the present disclosure. The main lighting lamp body 1 is connected to the ceiling box 5 through the suspension connecting portion 4, the ceiling box 5 is fixedly mounted on an mounting surface (generally a roof), and a driving power supply (not shown) can be received in the ceiling box 5. The suspension connecting portion 4 is not only a mechanical connecting portion with the two ends thereof connected to the main lighting lamp body 1 and the ceiling box 5 respectively, but also an electrical connector with a wire therein to realize power supply from the driving power supply to the main lighting lamp body 1. The suspension connecting portion 4 is a suspension rod in this example, and may be a suspension wire in other examples. In addition, in other examples, the main lighting lamp body 1 may be directly mounted on the mounting surface, and the driving power supply may also be provided inside the main lighting lamp body 1, without limited in the present disclosure.

In this example, the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2 is a cylindrical spotlight, and an angle thereof can be adjusted in an up-down direction. The second auxiliary lighting lamp body 3 is a strip-shaped spotlight, and light sources (not shown) are provided at both ends of the strip-shaped lamp body. Due to the different structures and functions of the two auxiliary lighting lamp bodies, in this example, the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2 and the second auxiliary lighting lamp body 3 are provided at an upper side and a lower side of the main lighting lamp body 1, respectively, so that mutual interference between auxiliary lighting lamp bodies can be avoided. The first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2 and the second auxiliary lighting lamp body 3 are electrically and mechanically connected to the main lighting lamp body 1 through plug-in type DC connecting assemblies, respectively. After the connection is completed, the main lighting lamp body 1 supplies power to the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2 and the second auxiliary lighting lamp body 3 through the DC connecting assemblies, respectively. The DC connecting assembly includes two portions that are a male connector and a female connector. The male connector and the female connector can be rotated relative to each other upon being connected in a plug-in way, so that the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2 and the second auxiliary lighting lamp body 3 can be rotated relative to the main lighting lamp body 1 so as to be adjusted relative to the main lighting lamp body 1.

The specific structure of the DC connecting assembly can refer to FIGS. 2 and 3, which show exploded views of the connection structure between the main lighting lamp body 1 and the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2 in this example. In the figures, the female connector of the DC connecting assembly is disposed at the main lighting lamp body 1, and the male connector is disposed at the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2. In other examples, the male connector may also be disposed at the main lighting lamp body 1, and the female connector is disposed at the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2, without limited in the present disclosure. As shown in the figures, the female connector includes a DC female terminal 14 and a stud 15. The stud 15 has a hollowed structure and is sleeved over an external side of the DC female terminal 14. The male connector includes a DC male terminal 11, a male connector housing 12, and an anti-off nut 13. The DC male terminal 11 is disposed in the male connector housing 12, and the anti-off nut 13 is sleeved over an external side of the male connector housing. The plug-in type connection structure of the DC female terminal 14 and the DC male terminal 11 is a rotatable, plug-in type connection structure, thus when the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2 needs to have an angle adjustment, the angle adjustment would not be restricted due to the electrical connection structure and can be adjusted at will. The stud 15 is engaged with the anti-off nut 13 in a screw-threaded way. After the DC female terminal 14 and the DC male terminal 11 are connected to each other in a plug-in way to achieve electrical connection, the anti-off nut 13 can be screwed onto the stud 15 to achieve mechanical connection. In the present disclosure, an anti-off nut is added to the housing of the DC plug-in connector, so that a mechanical connection between the spotlight used as the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2 and the main lighting lamp body 1 is achieved, which can prevent the spotlight from dropping down during usage by the user, thereby enhancing product safety. The DC connecting assembly between the second auxiliary lighting lamp body 3 and the main lighting lamp body 1 adopts the same structural design as described above, without particularly repeated herein.

The DC connecting assembly between the suspension connecting portion 4 and the main lighting lamp body 1 is shown in FIG. 4, in which the DC connecting assembly includes a male connector and a female connector. In this example, the female connector is disposed at the main lighting lamp body 1. Which one of the male connector and the female connector is disposed at the main lighting lamp body 1 is not limited in the present disclosure.

The male connector includes a DC male terminal 11, a male connector housing 12, and an anti-off nut 13. The DC male terminal 11 is disposed in the male connector housing 12, and the anti-off nut 13 is sleeved over an external side of the male connector housing. The plug-in type connection structure of the DC female terminal 14 and the DC male terminal 11 is a rotatable, plug-in type connection structure. The stud 15 and the anti-off nut 13 are engaged with each other in a screw-threaded way. After the DC female terminal 14 and the DC male terminal 11 are connected to each other in a plug-in way to achieve electrical connection, the anti-off nut 13 can be screwed onto the stud 15 to achieve mechanical connection. In other examples, both ends of the suspension connecting portion 4 may be set as male connectors, and the suspension connecting portion 4 and the ceiling box 5 are also connected to each other by the same DC connecting assembly as described above.

In this example, the connection structure between the main lighting lamp body 1 and the first auxiliary lighting lamp body 2, the connection structure between the main lighting lamp body 1 and the second auxiliary lighting lamp body 3, and the connection structure between the main lighting lamp body 1 and the suspension connecting portion 4 all use DC connection assemblies having the same structure, which simplifies the design and allows various types of auxiliary lighting lamp body to be replaced at any time as needed. In this example, each DC connecting assembly is provided with a female connector which is disposed on the main lighting lamp body 1. In other examples, the connectors of the suspension connecting portion 4 and of the auxiliary lighting lamp body that are disposed on the main lighting lamp body 1 may also be different; for example, the connection interface of the main lighting lamp body 1 connected with the suspension connecting portion 4 is the female connector, and the connection interface of the main lighting lamp body 1 connected with the auxiliary lighting lamp body is the male connector, so as to limit the input and output of the electrical connection, without limited in the present disclosure.
