More specifically, in this embodiment, the electrode elastic pieces 110 surround the sidewall 13 and are located on an outer periphery of the light-emitting cover 20. The electrode elastic pieces 110 include: an integral elastic piece 111 (with reference to FIG. 17) having a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a positive electrode elastic piece 112 (with reference to FIG. 18) and a negative electrode elastic piece 113 (with reference to FIG. 19); and all the electrode elastic pieces 110 are electrically connected with the light source assembly 40 (with reference to FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 5, elastic piece slots 17 corresponding to the integral elastic piece 111 (with reference to FIG. 17A), the positive electrode elastic piece 112 (with reference to FIG. 18), and the negative electrode elastic piece 113 (with reference to FIG. 19) are formed in the sidewall 13 of the mounting space 14 of the housing 10. The integral elastic piece 111 (with reference to FIG. 17), the positive electrode elastic piece 112 (with reference to FIG. 18) and the negative electrode elastic piece 113 (with reference to FIG. 19) are correspondingly provided with barbs 114. As shown in FIG. 20, when mounted, the integral elastic piece 111, the positive electrode elastic piece 112 and the negative electrode elastic piece 113 are inserted into the corresponding elastic piece slots 17, and are fixed to the corresponding elastic piece slots 17 by corresponding barbs 114 thereon; the battery supplies power to the light source assembly 40 through the electrode elastic pieces 110. A battery mounting cavity is provided in a peripheral of the mounting space 14 of the housing 10 and cooperates with the elastic piece slots 17 to complete mounting of the battery. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, a battery avoidance region 64 is provided in the bottom case 60 at a position corresponding to the battery.


More specifically, the integral elastic piece 111 according to this embodiment is specifically arranged at two corners of the housing 10. The integral elastic piece 111 is an integrated elastic piece with two polarities; in this embodiment, wirings are riveted with the elastic piece by a riveter to implement a circuit connection; and the above-described process and structure not only improves production efficiency and reduces costs, but also avoids a risk of unreliable connection caused by site welding.


It should be noted that, the positive electrode elastic piece 112, the negative electrode elastic piece 113 and the integral elastic piece 111 at the corner may all be manually welded at the site.


With reference to FIG. 1, the battery of the lighting fixture of the present disclosure is easy to install and replace:


Installing the battery: uncovering the iron backplane 90 and inserting the battery into the battery cavity.


Replacing the battery:


1) Paste mounting: the housing assembly 1 and the bottom case assembly 2 are adsorbed with the iron backplane 90 by the magnetic element 70, so a user only needs to firstly take down the lighting fixture comprising the housing assembly 1 and the bottom case assembly 2, then remove an old battery and install a new battery, and then absorb the light onto the iron backplane 90.


2) Mounting with the lanyard 80: taking down the lighting fixture from the hook, uncovering the iron backplane 90, installing the battery into the battery cavity, then covering the iron backplane 90, and finally hanging the lighting fixture on the hook.


3) Absorption mounting: directly taking down the lighting fixture, replacing the battery and then absorbing back. Because there is no iron backplane 90, replacement is more convenient.
