The present invention relates to a light, especially to a light mounted with a ceiling fan.
A light-emitting diode (LED) is used in lamps as a light source commonly. The LED has multiple advantages such as low energy consumption, long service life, and high power. In conventional lamps, a light cover is mounted on a light housing directly by only one buckling structure without any other supporting element, so the cover is mounted on the light housing unstably. Due to the shaking occurring in use, the cover is prone to fall off from the light housing and break.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a light cover assembling structure of a ceiling fan to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a light cover assembling structure of a ceiling fan, wherein a transparent light cover is mounted stably and is prevented from falling off due to shaking.
The light cover assembling structure has a light housing, a mounting sleeve, a light-emitting element, a transparent light cover, and a supporting cover. The mounting sleeve has an inner end and an outer end. The inner end is mounted in the light housing. The outer end extends out of the light housing. An inner surface of the light housing and an outer surface of the mounting sleeve form an assembling space. The light-emitting element is mounted in the assembling space. The transparent light cover is mounted on the outer end of the mounting sleeve. The supporting cover is detachably mounted on the outer end of the mounting sleeve and has a first supporting side wall formed circumferentially and abutting the transparent light cover.
In the abovementioned light cover assembling structure, the transparent light cover is mounted on the mounting sleeve, and the first supporting side wall of the supporting cover supports the transparent light cover so that the transparent light cover is mounted firmly.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
The mounting sleeve 200 has an inner end and an outer end. The inner end is mounted in the light housing 100, and the outer end extends out of the light housing 100. The transparent light cover 400 is mounted on the outer end of the mounting sleeve 200. Specifically, an opening 410 is formed on a center of the transparent light cover 400, and the transparent light cover 400 is mounted around the mounting sleeve 200 via the opening 410. Additionally, the transparent light cover 400 can be mounted on the mounting sleeve 200 by screw threading, bonding, or buckling. An inner surface of the light housing 100 and an outer surface of the mounting sleeve 200 together form an assembling space 201 configured to accommodate the light-emitting element 300. The supporting cover 500 is detachably mounted on the outer end of the mounting sleeve 200. The supporting cover 500 has a first supporting side wall 510 formed circumferentially and abutting the transparent light cover 400. The light-emitting element 300 can be an LED board or a light bulb, and the transparent light cover 400 can be a glass plate or an acrylic sheet.
In the abovementioned light cover assembling structure, the transparent light cover 400 is mounted on the mounting sleeve 200, and the first supporting side wall 510 of the supporting cover 500 abuts and supports the transparent light cover 400 such that the transparent light cover 400 is mounted more stably.
The abovementioned light cover assembling structure can be applied to lamps or ceiling fans.
For example, with reference to
The light housing 100 is directly or indirectly mounted on the motor spindle 731 of the motor 730. The transparent light cover 400 is mounted on the mounting sleeve 200, and the first supporting side wall 510 of the supporting cover 500 abuts and supports the transparent light cover 400 such that the transparent light cover 400 is mounted more stably. The light-emitting element 300 emits light in the assembling space and the light passes through the transparent light cover 400 for illumination. The rotor 733 drives the fan blades 720 to rotate for fanning.
The supporting cover 500 can be mounted on the mounting sleeve 200 in various ways such as buckling, bonding, or screw threading.
For example, with reference to
Specifically, at least one first reinforcing rib 540 is connected between the first supporting side wall 510 and the second supporting side wall 520. The first reinforcing rib 540 strengthens the first supporting side wall 510, the second supporting side wall 520, and the connection between the first supporting side wall 510 and the second supporting side wall 520, such that the first supporting side wall 510 supports the transparent light cover 400 firmly.
In a preferred embodiment, the supporting cover 500 further has at least one limiting protrusion 530 located at an inner side of the second supporting side wall 520. The at least one limiting protrusion 530 and the second supporting side wall 520 together form a gap 531 to accommodate the outer end of the mounting sleeve 200. Therefore, the limiting protrusion 530 and the second supporting side wall 520 clamp the end of the mounting sleeve 200 and thereby strengthen the overall structure.
Furthermore, with reference to
Selectively, a second reinforcing rib 550 is mounted between the at least one limiting protrusion 530 and the supporting cover 500.

In a preferred embodiment, with reference to
By the aforementioned structure and the following steps, the fixing board 620 is mounted to the motor spindle 731. First, drive the screw 610 and mount half of the rod 612 through the threaded hole 621 of the fixing board 620, and the head 611 of the screw 610 is placed downward during driving. Then, when assembling the light housing 100 with the fixing board 620, align the first hole segment 121 to the head 611 of the screw 610 and insert the head 611 of the screw 610 through the first hole segment 121, and then move (rotate) the light housing 100 to insert the rod 612 of the screw 610 into the second hole segment 122. After that, drive the screw 610 tight to make the head 611 of the screw 610 abut a periphery of the second hole segment 122 tightly. After the screw 610 is mounted through the second hole segment 122 and the threaded hole 621 in sequence, the light housing 100 is assembled with the fixing board 620. The aforementioned assembling steps are easy and the connection between the light housing 100 and the fixing board 620 is firm.
With further reference to
Therefore, when assembling the light housing 100 and the mounting sleeve 200 with the fixing board 620, first drive the screw 610 and mount half of the rod 612 through the threaded hole 621 of the fixing board 620. Then, align the first hole segment 121 and the second connecting hole 251 of the mounting sleeve 200 to the head 611 of the screw 610. Next, move (rotate) the light housing 100 and the mounting sleeve 200 and then drive the screw 610 tight. After then, the screw 610 is mounted through the second connecting hole 251, the first connecting hole 120, and the threaded hole 621 in sequence so that the screw 610 fixes the mounting sleeve 200, the light housing 100, and the fixing board 620 at once. Thus, the assembling steps of the mounting sleeve 200, the light housing 100, and the fixing board 620 are easy and efficient.
An amount of the at least one threaded hole 621 of the fixing board 620 can be more than two. Correspondingly, an amount of the at least one screw 610, an amount of the at least one first connecting hole 120, and an amount of the at least one second connecting hole 251 can be more than two. For example, the light cover assembling structure has three screws 610 in a preferred embodiment.
Specifically, the end of the mounting sleeve 200 located inside the light housing 100 bends outward and forms a second bending edge 250. The at least one second connecting hole 251 is formed on the second bending edge 250.
