1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a panel light frame, especially to a panel light frame that includes a first frame strip and a second frame strip for preventing light emitted from light emitting modules from leaking out thereof. Moreover, a position limit function is provided for convenience of assembly while connecting the first frame strip and the second frame strip. Thus the panel light frame is of higher practical value.
2. Description of Related Art
Refer to
However, although the above panel light frame 2 performs the expected functions and light is emitted from the light sources in the mounting slot 211 of each frame strip 21, the structure of the panel light frame 2 still has following shortcomings while in use.
Moreover, the frame strips 21 are easy to get sliding during the movement and shipment of the frame 2. The connection between the adjacent connection end angles 214 is not tight and secure. As shown in
Thus there is room for improvement and a need to provide a novel panel light frame that overcomes the shortcomings mentioned above.
Therefore it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a panel light frame in which no light leakage occurs. The assembly and connection of a first frame strip and a second frame strip is more convenient. Thus the panel light frame is of higher practical value.
In order to achieve the above object, a panel light frame of the present invention includes a first frame strip, and a second frame strip. Each of two ends of the second frame strip is inserted between a pressing end surface and a top end surface of the first frame strip. A front edge of the second frame strip is leaning against the pressing end surface of the first frame strip and an outer end surface of the second frame strip is leaning against the top end surface of the first strip. A connection end surface of the first frame strip and a connection end surface of the second frame strip are against each other to be connected and positioned. Thus the first frame strip and the second frame strip are connected to and fixed by each other. Thereby light from light emitting modules is shielded by the connection end surfaces on two ends of the first and the second frame strips for preventing light leakage. Moreover, the first frame strip and the second frame strip are leaning against, supported and positioned by each other because that the front edge of the second frame strip is leaning against the pressing end surface of the first frame strip and the outer end surface of the second frame strip is leaning against the top end surface of the first strip. Thus the assembly and connection of the frame strips is more convenient. The panel light frame has higher practical value.
The structure and the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the above and other objects can be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings, wherein
Refer to
The first frame strip 11 is disposed concavely with a mounting slot 111 for receiving light emitting modules 112 therein. A pressing end surface 113 is located on an inner side of two ends of the first frame strip 11 while a top end surface 114 is formed on an outer side of the pressing end surface 113. And a connection end surface 115 is arranged at an inner surface of a side wall of each of two ends of the first frame strip 11. An insertion slot 116 is concavely disposed on an outer and rear side of the first frame strip 11 and a plurality of connection holes 117 is arranged at the inner side of the first frame strip 11. A connection end angle 118 is formed on top and bottom ends of the first frame strip 11 respectively.
The second frame strip 12 also includes a concave mounting slot 121 for receiving light emitting modules 122 therein. A side wall of the second frame strip 12 corresponding to the connection end surface 115 of the first frame strip 11 is disposed with a connection end surface 123. Moreover, an insertion slot 124 is concavely disposed on the second frame strip 12 near the rear end of the second frame strip 12 and a plurality of connection holes 125 is arranged near the front side of the second frame strip 12. A connection end angle 126 corresponding to the connection end angle 118 of the first frame strip 11 is formed on each of two ends of the second frame strip 12. The connection end angle 118 of the first frame strip 11 is different from the connection end angle 126 of the second frame strip 12. The connection end angle 126 and the connection end angle 118 are connected and assembled to form a right-angle.
The assembly piece 13 is mounted in the insertion slot 116 of the first frame strip 11 and the insertion slot 124 of the second frame strip 12. The assembly piece 13 is disposed with a plurality of assembly holes 131 respectively corresponding to the connection holes 117, 125 of the first and the second frame strips 11, 12. The assembly holes 131 and the connection holes 117, 125 are assembled and fixed by a plurality of fasteners 132.
While being assembled, refer to
Then the assembly piece 13 is inserted into the insertion slots 116, 124 of the first and the second frame strips 11, 12. Next each assembly hole 131 of the assembly piece 13 is connected to and fixed with the corresponding connection holes 117, 125 of the first and the second frame strips 11, 12 by the fastener 132. Refer to
Furthermore, the first frame strip 11 is arranged vertically and the second frame strip 12 is disposed horizontally in some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in the
In addition, the connection end surface 115 of the first frame strip 11 and the connection end surface 123 of the second frame strip 12 are connected to form a miter joint, as shown in the
In summary, the present invention has following advantages compared with the structure available now:
Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, and representative devices shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalent.
