Referring to
The LED lamp also includes a buckle assembly 40 that includes a base 41, a first limiting portion 414, an elastic member 43 and a fastener 42. The base 41 is fixed to the heat sink 10, and the fastener 42 is movably connected to the base 41. A first end 431 of the elastic member 43 abuts against the base 41 and a second end 432 of the elastic member 43 abuts against the fastener 42. When the buckle assembly 40 is in a first state, a first portion 428 of the fastener 42 presses on the transparent plate 30 to fix the transparent plate 30 to the heat sink 10; and when the buckle assembly 40 is in a second state, a second portion 429 of the fastener 42 is pressed against the first limiting portion 414, and the first portion 428 of the fastener 42 is detached from the transparent plate 30.
By setting the buckle assembly 40, when it is necessary to remove the transparent plate 30, it is only to manually squeeze the fastener 42 horizontally, and when the second portion 429 of the fastener 42 moves to cross a first limiting portion 414, and then the fastener 42 slightly rotates to make the second portion 429 of the fastener 42 abut against the first limiting portion 414, thereby preventing the fastener 42 from being reset. At the same time, the first portion 428 of the fastener 42 is cocked up and detached from the transparent plate 30, at this point, the transparent plate 30 can be manually removed without needing additional tools.
The base41 is arranged on a back surface 12 of the heat sink 10, and the fastener 42 includes a board portion 421 arranged on the back surface 12 of the heat sink 10 and movably connected to the base 41, a connecting portion 422 connected to the board portion 421, and a compressing portion 423 arranged on the front surface 11 of the heat sink 10 and connected to the connecting portion 422; when the buckle assembly40 is in the first state, the compressing portion 423 of the fastener40 presses on the transparent plate 30 to fix the transparent plate 30 to the heat sink 10.
The fastener 42 further includes a second limiting portion 425 connected to the board portion 421, and when the buckle assembly 40 is in the second state, the second limiting portion 425 abuts against the first limiting portion 414, which can prevent the fastener 42 from being reset, so that the transparent plate 30 can be manually removed. The fastener 42 is a sheet-metal part, and the second limiting portion 425 is a bending plate formed on an edge of the board portion 421.
The buckle assembly 40 further includes a supporting rod 412 with a screw hole 52 being formed on a top of the supporting rod 412, a screw 50 connected inside the screw hole 52, the board portion421 of the fastener 42 including a track hole 4211, and the screw 50 passing through the track hole 4211 to connect to the supporting rod 412. In this way, the fastener 42 can be freely moved along a length direction of the track hole 4211.

When the buckle assembly 40 is in the second state, the sidewall 4112 of the first groove 411 is received in the limiting groove 426. The limiting groove 426 is provided as a guide pole to obtain a smoother compression process thereof.
The heat sink 10 includes at least two openings 13 formed at edges of the heat sink 10 and passing through the heat sink 10, and an outer edge of the transparent plate 30 is adjacent to an edge of each of the at least two openings 13. The connecting portion422 of the fastener 42 is arranged inside the at least two openings 13, and a second groove 31 is arranged at a position where the transparent plate 30 aligns with the at least two openings 13. When the buckle assembly 40 is in the first state, the compressing portion423 of the fastener42 is pressed into the second groove 31; and when the buckle assembly40 is in the second state, the compressing portion423 of the fastener42 is detached from the second groove 31.
The compressing portion 423 includes a protrusion 427 extending towards a direction away from the board portion 421 and being convenient for manually move the fastener 42. The heat sink 10 includes an annular groove 14 formed corresponding to edges of the transparent plate 30, an annular waterproof ring 70 arranged inside the annular groove 14. The transparent plate 30 includes an annular convex ring 33 formed at an edge of the transparent plate 30 and corresponding to the annular groove 14. When the buckle assembly40 is in the first state, the annular convex ring 33 presses against the waterproof ring 70, and projections of all the waterproof ring 70, the annular convex ring 33, the second groove 31 and the compressing portion 423 are partially overlapped along a vertical direction thereof, which can obtain a good waterproof effect thereof.

A box 80 is connected to the back surface 12 of the heat sink 10 and a power supply 81 is received in the box 80. The box 80 is connected to a hook 90. The sensor 60 is configured to sense whether a human body has passed by the LED lamp. If a human body has passed by the LED lamp, the LED lamp is controlled to be turned on. Other sensors can be ambient light sensors that control the LED lamp to be turned on or turned off based on a brightness of an environment. For example, when the day turns dark, the LED lamp is controlled to be turned on through the ambient light sensor.
When it is necessary to replace the transparent plate 30, the fastener 42 is first compressed and moves, and when the second limiting portion 425 of the fastener 42 moves to the first limiting portion 414, the fastener 42 is then deflected to a certain angle to temporarily limit the fastener 42 by the first limiting portion 414, at the same time, the fastener 42 is detached from the transparent plate 30 to uncompress the transparent plate 30, at this time, the transparent plate 30 can be manually removed. After replacing the transparent plate 30, the fastener 42 is deflected to the certain angle to release the fastener 42 from the first limiting portion 414 and reset to re-press on the transparent plate 30 under an action of the elastic member 43.
