DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the
embodiments shown in the drawings. However, the embodiments do not limit the disclosure,
and the changes on structure, method or function made by those skilled in the art
according to the embodiments are all included in the protection scope of the present
disclosure.
[0020] The terms used in the present disclosure are for the purpose of describing particular
embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the disclosure. The singular forms
"a" and "the" as used in the present disclosure and the appended claims intend to
include the plural forms thereof, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.
It should further be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and
encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed
items.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a ceiling lamp structure
shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The ceiling lamp structure 100 of the
present disclosure breaks the conventional installation mode, does not need to be
deliberately docked during installation, can be assembled by pushing up at any angle,
and can be disassembled conveniently, so that ordinary users can quickly install it
by themselves, which is quick and convenient, and greatly reduces the difficulty of
installing the ceiling lamp structure 100.
[0022] The ceiling lamp structure 100 of the present disclosure includes: a lamp top tray
11; a lamp body 12 mounted to the lamp top tray 11; and an elastic latch module 13
disposed on the lamp body 12. When the ceiling lamp structure 100 is assembled, the
lamp top tray 11 is fixed to a predetermined position in the house by screws, expansion
screws, or the like in advance, and then the lamp body 12 is assembled to the lamp
top tray 11, such that the assembly of the ceiling lamp structure 100 is completed.
The respective components of the lamp body 12 can be pre-assembled the assembly with
the lamp top tray 11 in advance. The present disclosure utilizes the elastic latch
module 13 to realize that the lamp body 12 can be quick assembled with the lamp top
tray 11.
[0023] As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the lamp top tray 11 further includes: a hook portion
111, disposed on the circumferential side wall of the lamp top tray, and configured
to mate with the elastic latch module 13. When the lamp body 12 is being assembled
with the lamp top tray 11, the elastic latch module 13 is compressed by an external
force to make the lamp body 12 and the lamp top tray 11 be docked. After the lamp
body 12 and the lamp top tray 11 are assembled in place, the external force on the
elastic latch module 13 disappears, and the elastic latch module 13 is restored under
the elastic force, to mate with the hook portion 111 to fix the connection. Specifically,
when the lamp body 12 and the lamp top tray 11 are assembled, the circumferential
side wall of the lamp top tray 11 acts on the elastic latch module 13 to apply force
on the elastic latch module 13, so as to compress the lamp body 12 to be assembled
with the lamp top tray 11. After the elastic latch module 13 fully inserts into the
hook portion 111, the external force acting on the elastic latch module 13 disappears.
At this time, the elastic latch module 13 returns to the initial state under the elastic
restoring force, then directly mates with the hook portion 111 to fix the latch, that
is, to realize that the lamp body 12 can be assembled with the lamp top tray 11.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the lamp body 12 is provided
with two elastic latch modules 13 disposed on two sides of the lamp body 12 that are
in a central symmetry. The two elastic latch modules 13 can realize the effect of
the balance of the assembly between the lamp body 12 and the lamp top tray 11, and
at the same time, the lamp body 12 can be directly pushed up to be assembled with
the lamp top tray 11 without any other auxiliary assembly action, so that the fixing
effect is good and the operation is simple. For a larger or heavier lamp body 12,
more elastic latch modules 13 can be adopted to ensure the reliability of assembly
between the lamp body 12 and the lamp top tray 11. Of course, in another embodiment
of the present disclosure, it can adopt only one elastic latch module 13, the side
of the lamp body 12 opposite to the elastic latch module 13 can be provided with a
hook, a sticking sheet, etc., to be connected with the lamp top tray 11 in advance,
and then the elastic latch module 13 is adopted to realize a fixed connection.

122. The lamp cover 123 can be fixed to the lamp panel 122 or fixed to the lamp housing
121 according to different designs. Preferably, the circumferential side surface of
the lamp cover 123 is coincident with the circumferential side surface of the lamp
housing 121, so as to prevent dust from falling into the lamp cover 123, thus the
dust can be effectively prevented. The dustproof level may be IP50, so as to prevent
harmful dust accumulation, to create a relatively closed using environment, thus to
extend the life of the lamp.
[0026] The lamp body 12 further includes a light source (not shown) disposed on the lamp
panel 122. The light source and the elastic latch module 13 are disposed on two sides
of the lamp panel 122. The light cover 123 and the light source are located on the
same side of the lamp panel 122. The light cover 123 is disposed on the light source
to protect the light source and aid diffusion of the light source. The lamp cover
123 is disposed on a side of the lamp panel 122 that is opposite to the lamp top tray
11, and the elastic latch module 13 is disposed on a side of the lamp panel 122 that
faces the lamp top tray 11. The lamp panel 122 is provided with a guide slot 124 for
accommodating the elastic latch module 13. The elastic latch module 13 is subjected
to an external force, and it can slide in the guide slot 124.
[0027] The elastic latch module 13 of the present disclosure includes: a pressing member
131; a latching member 132 fixed to the pressing member 131; an elastic member 133
connected to the pressing member 131 and the lamp panel 122 respectively; and a latch-fixing
cover 134 covering above the guide slot 124. The pressing member 131 and the latching
member 132 are restricted to slide in the guide slot 124. In an embodiment of the
present disclosure, a slide slot (not shown) is disposed in the guide slot 124, and
both sides of the pressing member 131 are restricted in the slide slot, so that the
pressing member 131 is restricted to move in one direction. In still another embodiment
of the present disclosure, the pressing member is provided with a slot hole, the longitudinal
direction of the slot hole is consistent with a radial direction of the lamp body,

column, so as to move along the slot hole.
[0028] Further, the pressing member 131 includes: a pressing body 1311; and a pressing portion
1312 provided at the end portion of the pressing body 1311. In the embodiment of the
present disclosure, the pressing portion 1312 is located at the head end of the pressing
body 1311, and the elastic member 133 is connected to the tail end of the pressing
body 1311. Optionally, the elastic member 133 is a spring, and the axial direction
of the spring is the same as the direction of motion of pressing member 131. The latching
member 132 is located on the pressing body 1311. The pressing body 1311 has a larger
size in the sliding direction than that of the latching member 132, and the pressing
portion 1312 is away from the center of the lamp body 12 relative to the latching
member 132. After the lamp body 12 is mounted on the lamp top tray 11, the pressing
portion 1312 is located outside the lamp top tray 11, and the latching member 132
is located in the lamp top tray 11.
[0029] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the external side of the latching member
132 includes a reversed spine configured to mate with the hook portion 111. The inverted
spine includes: a guide slope 1321; and a positioning portion 1322 that mates with
the hook portion 111 for fixing. When the lamp body 12 is mounting on the lamp top
tray 11, the lamp top tray 11 acts on the guide slope 1321, at this time, the latching
member 132 brings the pressing member 131 to compress inward, and the elastic member
133 is in a compressed state. The lamp top tray 11 may continue relatively sliding
along the guide slope 1321 until it moves to the positioning portion 1322. Since the
positioning portion 1322 is recessed relative to the guide slope 1321, the lamp top
tray 11 no longer acts on the hook portion 111, at this time the elastic member 133
is restored to the initial state under its own property, then the inverted spine moves
outward as well, that is, it can mate with the hook portion 111.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the hook
portion 111 is formed by inwardly turning the end of the side wall of the lamp top
tray 11 that is close the lamp body 12, that is, the hook portion 111 is of a barbed
shape on the circumferential side wall of the lamp top tray 11. When the lamp top
tray 11 acts on the reversed spine, the hook portion 111 abuts against the guide slope
1321 of the reversed spine and slides along the guide slope 1321 until the hook portion
111 and the positioning portion 1322 are mated.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in another embodiment of the present disclosure,
the hook portion 111 is a slot hole formed in the circumferential side wall of the
lamp top tray 11. As needed for assembly, a plurality of slot holes may be provided
in the circumferential side wall of the lamp top tray 11, such that, when the lamp
body 12 and the lamp top tray 11 is being assembled, no specific assembly position
is needed. When the lamp top tray 11 acts on the reversed spine, the circumferential
side wall of the lamp top tray 11 abuts against the guide slope 1321 of the reversed
spine and slides along the guide slope 1321 until the reversed spine inserts the slot,
then the mating between the hook portion 111 and the reversed spine is completed.
[0032] Further, the ceiling lamp structure 100 further includes: a connector assembly 14
disposed between the lamp top tray 11 and the lamp body 12. The connector assembly
