Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of lamps, and in particular to a recessed ceiling lamp and an inductor plug thereof.


BACKGROUND

With the development of light-emitting diode (LED) technologies, conventional LED lighting has been gradually transitioned to intelligent control, and incorporated into an Internet of things (IoT) system. However, in the development toward intelligent control, a lighting lamp will be more expensive with an inductor. Regarding whether the inductor is mounted on the lighting lamp, there have been two demands in markets, and at least two different production lines need to be provided by the manufacturers. In addition, for commercially available lamps such as office or home troffer lamps (recessed ceiling lamps) at present, the inductor is mounted cumbersomely.


The Chinese utility model patent No. CN213840852 U provides an inductor hidden lighting lamp, including a lamp body and an end cap component on an end of the lamp body. An accommodating cavity and an inductor are provided in the end cap component. The inductor is electrically connected to the lamp body. A telescopic elastic component is provided in the accommodating cavity. One end of the elastic component is fixedly connected to a probe of the inductor. In response to a compressed state of the elastic component, the probe of the inductor is pulled back to the accommodating cavity and is hidden. When an elastic force of the elastic component is released, the probe of the inductor can be pushed out of the accommodating cavity and exposed out of the end cap component. According to the inductor hidden lighting lamp, through an inductor hiding structure, the inductor can be either hidden or exposed out for work, so that when the lamp is not used, dust is not accumulated on the probe of the inductor to affect the induction sensitivity. Nevertheless, the structural design is complex. The inductor is provided no matter whether it is used or not, thus raising the cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art further understand the present disclosure, but will not limit the present disclosure in any way. It should be noted that several variations and improvements can also be made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the conception of the present disclosure. These all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.


Embodiment 1

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an inductor plug for a recessed ceiling lamp. As shown in FIGS. 1-6, the inductor plug includes left end plate 1, intermediate plate 2, and right end plate 3. The left end plate 1 and the right end plate 3 are vertical plates, while the intermediate plate 2 is an arc plate. The intermediate plate 2 is clamped between the left end plate 1 and the right end plate 3, and integrally formed with the left end plate 1 and the right end plate 3 as the boat-shaped inductor plug. The inductor plug is mounted on the recessed ceiling lamp in an upside-down manner.


Accommodating opening 21 is formed in a top of the intermediate plate 2. The accommodating opening 21 is configured to mount inductor 100. A shape of the accommodating opening 21 is matched with a shape of a mounting seat of the inductor, and may be provided as a racetrack for example. Preferably, clamping boss 22 is formed by extending outward for a certain distance from an edge of the accommodating opening 21 and excavating a material. The mounting seat of the inductor 100 is located on the clamping boss 22. This makes the inductor 100 mounted more stably. Further, the inductor 100 is provided on the accommodating opening 21 in a clamping manner. The mounting seat of the inductor can be clamped onto the accommodating opening 21 through symmetrical fasteners. Notch 211 is formed in a side of the accommodating opening 21. The notch 211 is configured to form avoidance for one of the fasteners to facilitate detachment.


The left end plate 1 is firmly connected to a frame profile of the recessed ceiling lamp. Fastening threaded holes 11 are formed in the left end plate 1. There are two sets of the fastening threaded holes 11 that are arranged side by side. The two sets of the fastening threaded holes 11 in a transverse direction can improve firmness in connection. Preferably, each set of the fastening threaded holes 11 includes two fastening threaded holes arranged up and down. The up-and-down arrangement can facilitate adjustment on a relative height of the inductor plug connected to the frame profile, and can be adapted to diffusing covers with different sizes. Further, studs 4 are provided on an inner side surface of the left end plate 1. The studs 4 are respectively located on end surfaces of the fastening threaded holes 11. Through holes or counterbores are respectively formed in the studs 4. The through holes or the counterbores are respectively coaxial with the fastening threaded holes 11. When the left end plate 1 is firmly connected to the frame profile through bolts, ends of the bolts enter the through holes or the counterbores of the studs 4 after the bolts pass through the fastening threaded holes 11. This effectively prevents the extended ends of the bolts from affecting the inductor to be mounted or a power cord.


The right end plate 3 is docked with a diffusing cover, namely one end of the arc-shaped diffusing cover is docked on an outer surface of the right end plate 3. Preferably, first clamping strip 31 and second clamping strip 32 are provided on an outer side surface of the right end plate 3. The first clamping strip 31 and the second clamping strip 32 each are arc-shaped. The arc-shaped first clamping strip 31 and the arc-shaped second clamping strip 32 are arranged up and down along a plate surface of the right end plate 3 to form a first clamping groove 301. An upper portion of the end of the diffusing cover is clamped into the first clamping groove 301. This makes the diffusing cover and the inductor plug more stable relatively. Further, two ends of the first clamping strip 31 respectively extend downward to sides of the right end plate 3 to form a concave shape. Limiting members 33 are respectively provided at two sides of the right end plate 3. The limiting members 33 each are seat-shaped. The two limiting members 33 are respectively formed into second clamping grooves 302 with the two ends of the first clamping strip 31. The end of the diffusing cover is docked with the right end plate 3, with the upper portion clamped into the first clamping groove 301, and two sides respectively clamped into the second clamping grooves 302. This further makes the connection more stable.


The inductor is mounted through the inductor plug, such that whether the inductor is mounted can be determined according to requirements of users, and differences between production processes caused by different mounting requirements on the inductor can be eliminated. The present disclosure not only makes the lamp more practical, but also can reduce a production cost in mass production.
