Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

FIELD OF INVENTION

The invention relates to a lighting device, and more particularly to a lamp, automatic mounting device, and application thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a lamp according to the preamble of independent claim 1, such as it is e.g. known from CN 206 419 810 U .

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ARTS

The ceiling lamp is a light fixture mounted on a roof or ceiling, which can be held at the top of the room to provide illumination light for the indoor environment of the room. Because the ceiling lamp is decorative, it is popular in the market. Figs. 1A-1D show a prior art ceiling lamp including a bracket device 10P and a lamp body device 20P, wherein the lamp body device 20P is mounted on the bracket device 10P before the bracket device 10P is mounted on a roof or ceiling, so that the lamp body device 20P is kept at the top of the room by the bracket device 10P to provide illumination light for the indoor environment Specifically, the bracket device 10P includes a bracket body 11P and two screws 12P, wherein the bracket body 11P has a bracket main body 111P and a bracket side arm 112P integrally and bently extending at two ends of the bracket body 111P, wherein the threaded end 121P of each screw 12P is respectively in threaded connection with each of the bracket side arms 112P of the bracket body 11P. The lamp body device 20P includes a mounting body 21P and a lamp main body 22P. The mounting body 21P has a mounting main body 211P and a mounting wall 212P integrally extended from the mounting main body 211P, wherein the lamp main body 22P is disposed on the mounting body 211P of the mounting body 21P. The mounting wall 212P of the mounting body 21P further has two mounting channels 212P and a positioning space 2122P respectively communicated with each of the mounting channels 2121P, wherein the mounting channel 2121P and the positioning space 2122P are formed in an L-shape or an approximate L-shape. When the ceiling lamp is installed on a roof or a ceiling, the threaded end 121p of each screw 12p is first threaded to each of the bracket side arms 112p of the bracket body 11p. Secondly, the bracket main body 111p of the bracket body 11P is mounted on a roof or a ceiling through an expansion screw or a similar mechanism and is connected with an associated electric wire. Third, after the mounting channels 2121P of the mounting body 21P are aligned with the free ends 122P of the screws 12P of the bracket device 10P, the lamp body device 20P is pushed upwards and the free end 122p of each screw 12P is held in the positioning space 2122P of the mounting wall 212P by rotating the lamp body device 20P. Fourthly, the screws 12P are tightened on the side through a tool such as a screwdriver, so that the mounting wall 212P is clamped by the screw 12P and the bracket side arm 112P, thereby completing the installation of the ceiling lamp. It is understandable that the reverse operation process needs to be performed when the ceiling lamp needs to be detached from the roof or ceiling. The structure of the ceiling lamp in the prior art results in a plurality of drawbacks of the ceiling lamp.
Firstly, the mode that the lamp body device 20P is installed on the bracket device 10P is installed by adopting the screw 12P, so that when the lamp body device 20P is installed in the bracket device 10P, an installer needs to manually install the lamp body device 20P by using tools such as a screwdriver, in which more labor cost is taken, the operation process is very inconvenient, and the efficiency is low. Especially after the free end 122p of the screw 12P is positioned in the positioning space 2122 P of the mounting wall 212P, an installer needs to manually use a tool such as a screwdriver to tighten the screw 12P. However, because the ceiling lamp is mounted at a high position, such as a roof or a ceiling and the distance between the mounting body 211p and a convenient position or the ceiling is narrow, it is difficult for an installer to use a tool such as a screwdriver to tighten the screw 12p. This process not only results in the installer being very tired, but also having the installer to determine whether the screws 12p have been tightened enough, resulting in the installation of the ceiling lamp with a potential safety hazard, such as that if the screw 12P is not tightened enough, the ceiling lamp may have a risk of dropping from the roof or ceiling.
Besides, since the bracket device 10P and the lamp body device 20P of the ceiling lamp both have a certain manufacturing error, after the screws 12P of the bracket device 10P are positioned behind the positioning spaces 2122P of the lamp body device 20P, a certain gap may occur between the mounting wall 212P of the lamp body device 20P and the roof or the ceiling. That is, the mounting wall 212P of the lamp body device 20P is not fully attached to a roof or a ceiling, which impacts the visual aesthetics of the ceiling lamp after installation to a certain extent.

Preferably, the high-end lamp disc 211 has two disassembling channels 2113. Each the disassembling channels 2113 is respectively formed on the lamp disc wall 2113, and each of the disassembling channels is respectively connected and communicated with the accommodating space 210 and the outside. Besides, the disassembling channels 2113 of the high-end lamp disc 211 are corresponding to the automatic mounting devices 30 respectively.
It is worth mentioning that for the lamp 100 according to the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 2-5, the high-end lamp disc 211 and the low-end lamp disc 212 of the lamp disc 21 are split type of structures. In other words, the high-end lamp disc 211 and the low-end lamp disc 212 are separately provided and the high-end lamp disc 211 and the low-end lamp disc 212 are mounted with each other through mounting the lamp disc main body 2111 of the high-end lamp disc 211 on the low-end lamp disc 212. According to another embodiment, the lamp disc 21 of the lamp 100 may also include the low-end lamp disc 212 and the lamp disc wall 2112 integrally extended from the low-end lamp disc 212 and the accommodating space 210 formed and defined between the low-end lamp disc 212 and the lamp disc wall 2112, wherein the automatic mounting device 30 is mounted on the low-end lamp disc 212, and the automatic mounting device 30 is located in the accommodating space 210. Specifically speaking, for the lamp 100 according to an alternative mode as illustrated in Figs. 8A and 8B, the high-end lamp disc 211 and the low-end lamp disc 212 of the lamp disc 21 may be an integral structure and the accommodating space 210 is formed and defined between the high-end lamp disc 211 and the low-end lamp disc 212. More specifically, for the lamp 100 according the embodiment as illustrated in Fig. 8A, the lamp disc 21 is a sheet metal piece. Namely, the high-end lamp disc 211 and the low-end lamp disc 212 of the lamp disc 21 can be one integrally formed structure formed through bending or stamping a plate. However, for the lamp 100 according this embodiment as illustrated in Figs. 8B, the lamp disc 21 is an injection molded piece. Namely, the high-end lamp disc 211 and the low-end lamp disc 212 of the lamp disc 21 can be integrally formed through injection molding technology. It should be noted that, for the lamp 100 according some other embodiments, the lamp disc 21 may also be a printed piece. In other words, the high-end lamp disc 211 and the low-end lamp disc 212 of the lamp disc 21 may be integrally printed and formed through 3D printing technology.
Further, referring to Figs. 2-5, the automatic mounting device 30 comprises a mounting base 31, a holding shell 32, an elastic restoration mechanism 33, and a mounting mechanism 34, and has a holding space 35. The mounting base 31 is mounted on the lamp disc 21 of the lamp body 20. Preferably, the mounting base 31 is mounted on the high-end lamp disc 211 of the lamp disc 21 of the lamp body 20. The holding shell 32 has a communication channel 321 and is mounted on the mounting base 31 so as to form the holding space 35 between the holding shell 32 and the mounting base 31, wherein the communication channel 321 of the holding shell 32 is communicated with the holding space 35 and the outside. The mounting mechanism 34 comprises a mounting element 341 and at least one retaining element 342 disposed on the mounting element 341. The mounting element 341 extends from the holding space 35 to the outside via the communication channel 321 of the holding shell 32, and the retaining element 342 is held in the holding space 35 to prevent the mounting mechanism 34 from being disengaged from the mounting base 31 and the holding shell 32, that is, from leaving the holding space 35. In other words, the retaining element 342 is utilized for having the mounting mechanism 34 be kept within the holding space 35, so as to avoid the mounting mechanism 34 from disengaging from the inside of the holding space 35 through the communication channel 321 of the holding shell 32, such that the reliability of the lamp 100 can be ensured. The elastic restoration mechanism 33 is arranged between the mounting mechanism 34 and the mounting base 31, such that the mounting mechanism 34 can be kept in an installed state by the elastic restoration mechanism 33 when there is no external force applied. Preferably, the elastic restoration mechanism 33 is a compression spring element.
Preferably, the quantity of the holding elements 342 is two. The two retaining elements 342 respectively extend integrally from the upper end and the lower end of the mounting element 341. Therefore, it can have the retaining element 342 held in the holding space 35 through having the two retaining elements 342 of the mounting mechanism 34 be blocked by the wall of the holding shell 32, thereby preventing the mounting mechanism 34 from disengaging from the holding space 35 formed by the mounting base 31 and the holding shell 32. Nevertheless, the implementation of the two retaining elements 342 being respectively integrally extended from the two sides of the mounting element 341 may also possibly be implemented on the lamp 100 of the present invention. Preferably, the mounting mechanism 34 comprises a reference column 343, integrally extended from the mounting element 341, wherein the reference column 343 is held in the holding space 35, and kept at an end of the elastic restoration mechanism 33. Through this way, it allows the elastic restoration mechanism 33 be reliably held between the mounting element 341 and the mounting base 31.
It is worth mentioning that for the lamp 100, the disassembling channels 2113 of the high-end lamp disc 211 will be corresponding to the mounting elements 341 of the automatic mounting devices 30. Therefore, an installer can insert a tool such as a screwdriver into the disassembling channel 213B of the high-end lamp disc 211, so as to utilize the tool to abut and push against the automatic mounting element 341. When the installer applies a force on the tool so as to push against the mounting element 341 through the tool in order to drive the mounting element 341 to move toward the mounting base 31, the mounting element 341 will gradually be hidden and concealed in the holding space 35. During this process, the size of the part of the mounting element 341 protruded from the outer side of the holding shell 32 will become smaller and smaller and the elastic restoration mechanism 33 will become elastically deformed due to the extrusion and pressing by the mounting element 341. When an external force applied to the mounting element 341 is revoked, the elastic restoration mechanism 33 will drive the mounting element 341 to move in a direction away from the mounting base 341 to restore the mounting element 341 to an installed state. During this process, the size of the part of the mounting element 341 protruded from the outer side of the holding shell 32 will become bigger and bigger. Preferably, the mounting element 341 has a groove 3411. The detachable channel 2113 of the high-end lamp disc 211 is corresponding to the groove 3411 of the mounting element 341. When the tool is pressed against the mounting element 341 via the disassembling channel 2113 of the high-end lamp disc 211, the end of the tool is held in the groove 3411, so that when the tool is utilized to act on the mounting element 341, it can prevent unwanted phenomena like "slipping" of the end portion of the tool from occurring on the surface of the mounting element 341.
Referring to Figs. 4 and 5, the mounting element 341 has a guide surface 3412 for guiding the mounting element 341 to be mounted at the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13 of the support body 10. It is worth mentioning that the guide surface 3412 of the mounting element 341 is an incline surface or curvy surface.
In addition, the mounting element 341 further has a holding groove 3413, so as for having part of the mounting arm 13 of the support body 10 be held in the holding groove 3413 of the mounting element 341 subsequently and therefore having the lamp body 20 be mounted on the support body 10. Preferably, the holding groove 3413 of the mounting element 341 is formed through denting the lower end of the mounting element 341. Namely, the holding groove 3413 of the mounting element 341 is a groove for holding, so as to provide a bulge structure 3414 of the mounting element 341 at the upper part of the holding groove 3413 of the mounting element 341. The bulge structure 3414 is able to prevent the mounting element 341 from automatically disengaging from the inside of the mounting channels 131 of the mounting arms 13 without external force, so as to ensure the security of the lamp 100.
Further, the lamp 100 comprises a wiring terminal 40. The wiring terminal 40 is disposed on the support element 11 of the support body 10. The luminous part 22 of the lamp body 20 is electrically connected to the wiring terminal 40. The wiring terminal 40 is adapted to be connected to an external power supply. For example, the wiring terminal 40 can be electrically connected to a city power network so as to supply electric energy to the luminous part 22 through the wiring terminal 40 and the city power network. It is worth mentioning that after the lamp body 20 is mounted on the support body 10, the wiring terminal 40 will become hidden and concealed by being accommodated in the accommodating space 210.
Figs. 6A-6D illustrate a process of the lamp 100 being mounted to the lamp attachment 200. Specifically, in the stage as illustrated in Fig. 6A, the support element 11 of the support body 10 is mounted onto the lamp attachment 200 through an expansion screw or similar mechanism. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 6B, the installer is capable of support the lamp body 20 with bare hand and aligns the high end of the mounting elements 341 of the two automatic mounting devices 30 arranged on the lamp body 20 with the mounting channel 131 of the each mounting arms 13 of the support body 10. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 6C, an installer applies a force on the lamp body 20 at a lower portion of the lamp body 20, so as to drive the lamp body 20 to move toward the lamp attachment 200. At this time, the high end of the mounting element 341 begins to be inserted into the mounting channels 131 of the mounting arms 13. The inner wall of the mounting arms 13 for forming the mounting channels 131 applies force on the mounting element 341 so as to drive the mounting element 341 to move toward the mounting base 31. At this moment, the mounting element 341 is gradually hidden and concealed into the holding space 35, and the elastic restoration mechanism 33 is elastically deformed due to being pressed and extruded by the mounting element 341. Meanwhile, because the guide surface 3412 of the mounting element 341 is an inclined surface or a curvy surface, therefore during the process of the mounting element 341 being gradually inserted into the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13, the guide surface 3412 of the mounting element 341 can guide the mounting element 341 to be mounted to the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13. At a stage as illustrated in Fig. 6D, when the mounting element 341 passes through the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13, because the inner wall of the mounting arm 13 for forming the mounting channel 131 does not continue to apply force to the mounting element 341, therefore under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33, the mounting element 341 will automatically return to the installed state. At this moment, part of the mounting arm 13 will be retained in the holding groove 3413 of the mounting element 341 so as to mount the lamp body 20 onto the support body 10.
It is worth mentioning that the upper portion of the holding groove 3413 of the mounting element 341 is the bulge structure 314 of the mounting element 341. Therefore, when no external force is applied to the lamp body 20, for example, when there is no external force pulling the lamp body 20 toward the lamp attachment 200, the bulge structure 3414 can prevent the mounting arms 13 from disengaging from the holding grooves 3413 of the mounting elements 341, thereby preventing the lamp body 20 from being automatically disengaged from the support body 10 so as to ensure the safety of the lamp 100 when being used.
Preferably, the groove bottom of the holding groove 3413 of the mounting element 341 is an inclined surface. Under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33, the mounting arm 13 is able to abut against the inclined surface of the mounting element 341, so that the lamp body 20 is able to stay mounted on the support body 10, and a gap is prevented from occurring between the top edge of the lamp disc wall 2112 of the high-end lamp disc 211 and the lamp attachment 200. Hence, the top edge of the lamp disc wall 2112 will be completely and tight attached on the lamp attachment 200 in appearance. For example, the top edge of the lamp disc wall 2112 can be kept fully attached on a ceiling, wall, and etc..
Figs. 6E-6G illustrate the process of the lamp body 20 being detached from the support body 10. Specifically, in the stage as illustrated in Fig. 6E, an installer can insert a tool such as a screwdriver into the accommodating space 210 via the disassembling channel 2113 of the high-end lamp disc 211 from the outside of the lamp body 20, and the end of the tool can abut the mounting element 341 in a manner of being retained in the groove 3411 of the mounting element 341. In the stage as illustrated in in Fig. 6F, an installer applies an external force to the tool so as to drive the mounting element 341 to move toward the mounting base 31 by having the tool abut against the mounting element 341, so that the mounting element 341 is gradually hidden and concealed in the holding space 35. At this moment, the elastic restoration mechanism 33 generates elastic deformation due to the extrusion of the mounting element 341. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 6G, under the effect of the self-gravity of the lamp body 20, the mounting elements 341 of the automatic mounting devices 30 can be detached from the inside of the mounting channels 131 of the mounting arms 13 automatically so as to detach the lamp body 20 from the support body 10. At this moment, since there is no external force continues to act on the mounting elements 341, under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33, the mounting elements 341 can return to the installation state.
Figs.9 and 10 illustrate an alternative mode of the lamp 100, which is different from the lamp 100 illustrated in Figs. 2-5 in that, for the lamp 100 according to the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10, it may only arrange one automatic mounting device 30 on one side of the lamp disc 21 of the lamp body 20 and the lamp 100 further comprises a mounting buckle 60, which is arranged at the other side of the lamp disc 21. It is worth mentioning that the way of the mounting buckle 60 being arranged on the lamp disc 21 shall not be limited for the lamp 100 of the present invention. For instance, the mounting buckle 60 may be arranged on the lamp disc 21 through being soldered and welded or installed on the high-end lamp disc 211 of the lamp disc 21 or the mounting buckle 60 may be integrally formed on the high-end lamp disc 211 of the lamp disc 21 so as to be arranged on the lamp disc 21.
Figs. 11A-11D illustrate a process of the lamp 100 being mounted to the lamp attachment 200. Specifically, in the stage as illustrated in Fig. 11A, the support element 11 of the support body 10 is mounted onto the lamp attachment 200 through an expansion screw or similar mechanism. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 11B, the mounting buckle 60 is mounted on the mounting channel 131 of one of the mounting arms 13 in the manner that the lamp body 20 is oblique. Here, the high end of the mounting element 341 of the automatic mounting device 30 will be aligned with the mounting channel 131 of the other of the mounting arms 13. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 11C, an installer applies a force on a lower side of the lamp body 20 from the lower portion of the lamp body 20, so as to drive the lower side of the lamp body 20 to move toward the lamp attachment 200. At this moment, the high end of the mounting element 341 begins to be inserted into the mounting channels 131 of the mounting arms 13. The inner wall of the mounting arms 13 for forming the mounting channels 131 applies force on the mounting element 341 so as to drive the mounting element 341 to move toward the mounting base 31. At this moment, the mounting element 341 is gradually hidden and concealed into the holding space 35, and the elastic restoration mechanism 33 is elastically deformed due to being pressed and extruded by the mounting element 341. Meanwhile, because the guide surface 3412 of the mounting element 341 is an inclined surface or a curvy surface, therefore during the process of the mounting element 341 being gradually inserted into the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13, the guide surface 3412 of the mounting element 341 can guide the mounting element 341 to be mounted to the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13. At a stage as illustrated in Fig. 11D, when the mounting element 341 passes through the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13, because the inner wall of the mounting arm 13 for forming the mounting channel 131 does not continue to apply force to the mounting element 341, therefore under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33, the mounting element 341 will automatically return to the installed state. At this moment, part of the mounting arm 13 will be retained in the holding groove 3413 of the mounting element 341 so as to mount the lamp body 20 onto the support body 10.
Figs. 11E-11G illustrate the process of the lamp body 20 being detached from the support body 10. Specifically, in the stage as illustrated in Fig. 11E, an installer can insert a tool such as a screwdriver into the accommodating space 210 via the disassembling channel 2113 of the high-end lamp disc 211 from the outside of the lamp body 20, and the end of the tool can abut the mounting element 341 in a manner of being retained in the groove 3411 of the mounting element 341. In the stage as illustrated in in Fig. 11F, an installer applies an external force to the tool so as to drive the mounting element 341 to move toward the mounting base 31 by having the tool abut against the mounting element 341, so that the mounting element 341 is gradually hidden and concealed in the holding space 35. At this moment, the elastic restoration mechanism 33 generates elastic deformation due to the extrusion of the mounting element 341. In the stage as illustrated in in Fig. 11G, under the effect of the self-gravity of the lamp body 20, the mounting element 341 of the automatic mounting device 30 can automatically disengage from the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13. After the mounting element 341 is disengaged from the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13, the lamp body 20 will become inclined, and under the further action of the self-gravity of the lamp body 20, the mounting buckle 60 will be disengaged from the mounting channel 131 of the mounting arm 13 to detach the lamp body 20 from the support body 10. At this time, since there is no external force continuing to act on the mounting element 341, under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33, the mounting element 341 can return to the installation state.
Referring to Figs. 12-15, a lamp 100A according to a second embodiment, not claimed, is disclosed and described in the following description, wherein the lamp 100A comprises a support body 10A, a lamp body 20A, and two automatic mounting devices 30A, wherein the automatic mounting device 30A is used for conveniently and detachably mounting the lamp body 20A onto the support body 10A. For example, when the lamp 100A is installed on a lamp attachment 200A, an installer may affix the support body 10A of the lamp 100A on the lamp attachment 200A by using an expansion screw or a similar mechanism, and then, with bare hands, install the lamp body 20A on the support body 10A by means of the automatic mounting device 30A to mount the lamp 100A to the lamp attachment 200A. That is, the installer can install the lamp body 20A on the support body 10A without any tool so as to complete the installation of the lamp 100A. This is unexpected in the prior art lamp, and is particularly useful for improving the installation efficiency of the lamp 100A and reducing the installation difficulty of the lamp 100A. In addition, the installation mode provided by the lamp 100A of the present invention can simplify the installation process and greatly reduce the labor intensity of the workers.

The holding shell 32A has a communication channel 321A and is mounted on the mounting base 31A so as to form the holding space 35A between the holding shell 32A and the mounting base 31A, wherein the communication channel 321A of the holding shell 32A is communicated with the holding space 35A and the outside. The mounting mechanism 34A comprises a mounting element 341A and at least one retaining element 342A disposed on the mounting element 341A. The mounting element 341A extends from the holding space 35A to the outside via the communication channel 321A of the holding shell 32A, and the retaining element 342A is held in the holding space 35A so as to prevent the mounting mechanism 34A from being disengaged from the holding space 35A formed and define between the mounting base 31A and the holding shell 32A. In other words, the retaining element 342A is utilized for having the mounting mechanism 34A be kept within the holding space 35A, so as to avoid the mounting mechanism 34A from disengaging from the inside of the holding space 35A through the communication channel 321A of the holding shell 32A, such that the reliability of the lamp 100A can be ensured. The elastic restoration mechanism 33A is kept between the mounting mechanism 34A and the mounting base 31A, such that the mounting mechanism 34A can be kept in an installed state by the elastic restoration mechanism 33A when there is no external force applied. Preferably, the elastic restoration mechanism 33A is a compression spring element.
Preferably, the quantity of the holding elements 342A is two. The two retaining elements 342A respectively extend integrally from the upper end and the lower end of the mounting element 341A. Therefore, it can have the retaining element 342A held in the holding space 35A through having the two retaining elements 342A of the mounting mechanism 34A be blocked by the wall of the holding shell 32A, thereby preventing the mounting mechanism 34A from slidingly disengaging from the holding space 35A formed by the mounting base 31A and the holding shell 32A. Nevertheless, the implementation of the two retaining elements 342A being respectively integrally extended from the two sides of the mounting element 341A may also possibly be implemented on the lamp 100A.
Preferably, the mounting element 341A has a groove 3411A, wherein the groove 3411A of the mounting element 341A is adapted for corresponding to the disassembling channel 2113A of the lamp disc 21. The mounting element 341A further has a guiding surface 3412A and an inclined surface 3415A. The guide surface 3412A of the mounting element 341A is used for guiding the mounting element 341A to be mounted on the mounting channels 2140A of the high-end lamp disc 211A of the lamp disc 21, wherein the guide surface 3412A of the mounting element 341A is an inclined surface or a curvy surface. The inclined surface 3415A of the mounting element 341A is used for preventing a gap from occurring between the high-end lamp disc 211A of the lamp disc 21A and the lamp attachment 200A so as to enhance the aesthetics of the lamp 100A.
Figs. 16A-16E illustrate a process of the lamp 100A being mounted to the lamp attachment 200A. Specifically, in the stage as illustrated in Fig. 16A, the support element 11A of the support body 10A is mounted onto the lamp attachment 200A through an expansion screw or similar mechanism. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 16B, the installer is capable of support the lamp body 20A with bare hand and align each of the mounting elements 341A of the automatic mounting devices 30A arranged on the support element 11A of the support body 10A with each of the mounting channels 21140A of the high-end lamp disc 211A of the lamp disc 21 of the lamp body 20A. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 16C, an installer applies a force on the lamp body 20A at a lower portion of the lamp body 20A, so as to drive the lamp body 20A to move toward the lamp attachment 200A. At this time, the low end of the mounting element 341A begins to be inserted into the mounting channel 2140A of the lamp disc top 2114A of the high-end lamp disc 211A. The inner wall of the lamp disc top 2114A of the high-end lamp disc 211A is for forming the mounting channels 21140A, so as to make the mounting element 341A move toward the mounting base 31A because the guide surface 3412A of the mounting element 341A is an inclined surface or a curvy surface. Therefore, the guide surface 3412A of the mounting element 341A can guide the mounting element 341A to be smoothly inserted into the mounting channel 21140A of the lamp disc top 2114A of the high-end lamp disc 211A and avoid unwanted phenomena such as jamming and etc.. Meanwhile, the mounting element 341A is gradually hidden and concealed into the holding space 35A, and the elastic restoration mechanism 33A is elastically deformed by being pressed and extruded by the mounting element 341A. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 16D, after the mounting element 341A passes through the mounting channel 21140A of the lamp disc top 2114A of the high-end lamp disc 211A, the inner wall of the lamp disc top 2114A of the high-end lamp disc 211A for forming the mounting channel 21140A is not continuously pushing the mounting element 341A. Therefore, under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33A, the mounting element 341A will automatically return to the installation state, and at this moment, the mounting element 341A will be held in the annular space 2115A so as to mount the lamp body 20A on the support body 10A. In other words, the lamp 100A is mounted on the lamp attachment 200A.
Preferably, the mounting element 341A provides the inclined surface 3415A. Thus, under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33A, the inner wall of the lamp disc top 2114A of the high-end lamp disc 211A for forming the mounting channels 21140A can abut and hold against the inclined surface 3415A of the mounting element 341A, so as to have the lamp body 20A be mounted on the support body 10A. Meanwhile, it can also avoid a gap from occurring between the high-end lamp disc 211A and the lamp attachment 200A, so that when observing from the outside of the lamp 100A, the high-end lamp disc 211A can stay in the state of being completely attached on the lamp attachment 200A. For example, the top edge of the high-end lamp disc 211A can be kept attached on a ceiling, wall, and etc..
Referring to Fig. 16E, after the automatic mounting device 30A mounted the lamp body 20A on the support body 10A through having the mounting element 341A of the automatic mounting device 30A be held in the annular space 2115A of the high-end lamp disc 211A, the lamp body 20A can be driven to rotate the automatic mounting devices 30A within the mounting channels 21140A of the lamp disc top 2114A of the high-end lamp disc 211A for adjusting the mounting position of the lamp body 20A relative to the support body 10A. For example, the mounting channel 21140A may be an annular groove to allow the mounting element 341A of the automatic mounting device 30A to rotate therewithin.
Figs. 16F-16I illustrate the process of the lamp body 20A being detached from the support body 10A. Specifically, in the stage as illustrated in Fig. 16F, the lamp body 20A is driven to rotate relatively to the support body 10A making the groove 3411A of the mounting element 341A of the automatic mounting device 30A be corresponding to the disassembling channel 2113A of the high-end lamp disc 211A. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 16G, an installer can insert a tool such as a screwdriver into the annular space 2115A via the disassembling channel 2113A of the high-end lamp disc 211A from the outside of the lamp body 20A, and the end of the tool can abut the mounting element 341A in a manner of being retained in the groove 3411A of the mounting element 341A. In the stage as illustrated in in Fig. 16H, an installer applies an external force to the tool so as to drive the mounting element 341A to move toward the mounting base 31A by having the tool abut against the mounting element 341A, so that the mounting element 341A is gradually hidden and concealed in the holding space 35A. At this moment, the elastic restoration mechanism 33A generates elastic deformation due to the extrusion of the mounting element 341A. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 16I, under the effect of the self-gravity of the lamp body 20A, the mounting element 341A of the automatic mounting device 30A can be detached from the lamp disc top 2114A of the high-end lamp disc 211A so as to detach the lamp body 20A from the support body 10A. At the moment, no external force continues to act on the mounting element 341A, so that under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33A, the mounting element 341A can return to the installation state.

For example, according to a specific embodiment of the lamp 100B, as illustrated in Figs. 17-20, the contents and features of the lamp 100B of the present invention are set forth and disclosed in an example of the lamp disc 21B in a round shape, but the shape of the lamp disc 21B being implemented as a circle shall not be viewed as a limitation of the content and scope of the lamp 100B of the present invention. According to some other possible embodiments of the lamp 100B of the present invention, the shape of the lamp disc 21 may also be, but is not limited to, square, oval, triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, and etc..
In addition, the lamp body 20B further comprises two mounting arms 13B, wherein each of the mounting arms 13B is disposed on the lamp disc 21B respectively. Each of the mounting arms 13B has a mounting channel 131B so that the mounting channel 131B of the mounting arm 13B allows a portion of the automatic mounting device 30B to be retained therein, so as for mounting the lamp body 20B to the support body 10B through coupling the automatic mounting device 30B and the mounting arm 13B of the lamp body 20B.
Further, the lamp disc 21 has an accommodating space 210B, wherein each of the mounting arms 13B is respectively located in the accommodating space 210B. Therefore, when the lamp body 20B is installed on the support body 10B, the automatic mounting device 30B and the support body 10B can both be held in the accommodating space 210B of the lamp disc 21B. In this way, the lamp disc 21B can be tightly attached to the lamp attachment 200B so as to avoid a gap from occurring between the lamp disc 21B and the lamp attachment 200B, which not only prevents dust from being accumulated on the lamp disc 21B, but also enhances the decorative performance of the lamp 100B.
For the lamp 100B according to this particular embodiment as illustrated in Figs. 17-20, the lamp disc 21B comprises a high-end lamp disc 211B and a low-end lamp disc 212B. The high-end lamp disc 211B further comprises a lamp disc main body 2111B and a lamp disc wall 2112B extended from the outer periphery of the lamp disc main body 2111B. Besides, the accommodating space 210B is formed and defined between the lamp disc main body 2111B and the lamp disc wall 2112B. Preferably, the lamp disc main body 2111B and the lamp disc wall 2112B of the high-end lamp disc 211B are integrally formed. The mounting arm 13B is mounted on the lamp disc wall 2112B of the high-end lamp disc 211B, and the mounting arm 13B is located in the accommodating space 210B. However, person skilled in the art should be able to understand that, for the lamp 100B according to some other embodiments of the present invention, the mounting arm 13B and the lamp disc wall 2112B of the high-end lamp disc 211B may also be integrally formed. The lamp disc body 2111B and the low-end lamp disc 212B of the high-end lamp disc 211B are overlapped with each other and mounted together. The lamp body 20B is mounted on the support body 10B. The support body 10B and the automatic mounting device 30B are both held in the accommodating space 210B of the lamp body 20B, so that the top edge of the lamp disc wall 2112B of the high-end lamp disc 211B clings to the lamp attachment 200B, thereby avoiding a gap from occurring between the top edge of the lamp disc wall 2112B of the high-end lamp disc 211B and the lamp attachment 200B. That is, the lamp attachment 200B can close the upper opening of the accommodating space 210B of the high-end lamp disc 211B. In addition, after the lamp body 20B is installed on the support body 10B, the low-end lamp disc 212B faces the lower part. That is, the low-end lamp disc 212B of the lamp body 20B affects the decorative performance of the lamp 100B when it is mounted on the lamp attachment 200B.

Further, referring to Figs. 17-20, the automatic mounting device 30B comprises a mounting base 31B, a holding shell 32B, an elastic restoration mechanism 33B, and a mounting mechanism 34B, and has a holding space 35B. The holding shell 32B has a communication channel 321B and is mounted on the mounting base 31B so as to form the holding space 35B between the holding shell 32B and the mounting base 31B, wherein the communication channel 321B of the holding shell 32B is communicated with the holding space 35B and the outside. The mounting mechanism 34B comprises a mounting element 341B and at least one retaining element 342B disposed on the mounting element 341B. The mounting element 341B extends from the holding space 35B to the outside via the communication channel 321B of the holding shell 32B, and the retaining element 342B is held in the holding space 35B to prevent the mounting mechanism 34B from being disengaged from the mounting base 31B and the holding shell 32B, that is, from leaving the holding space 35B. The elastic restoration mechanism 33B keeps the mounting mechanism 34B always in an installed state when there is no external force applied. Preferably, the elastic restoration mechanism 33B is a compression spring element.
The holding shell 32B of the automatic mounting devices 30B are mounted at the ends of the support element 11B of the support body 10B, so that the automatic mounting devices 30B are mounted on the support body 10B.
Preferably, the quantity of the holding elements 342B is two. The two retaining elements 342B respectively extend integrally from the upper end and the lower end of the mounting element 341B. Therefore, it can have the retaining element 342B held in the holding space 35B through having the two retaining elements 342B of the mounting mechanism 34B be blocked by the wall of the holding shell 32B, thereby preventing the mounting mechanism 34B from disengaging from the holding space 35B formed by the mounting base 31B and the holding shell 32B. Preferably, the mounting mechanism 34B comprises a reference column 343B, integrally extended from the mounting element 341B. The reference column 343B is kept in the holding space 35B. Correspondingly, the mounting base 31B has a reference block 311B, wherein the reference block 311B is held in the holding space 35B, and the reference column 343B and the reference block 311B are corresponding to each other. The reference column 343B and the reference block 311B are respectively held at the end of the elastic restoration mechanism 33B. In this way, the elastic restoration mechanism 33B can be reliably held between the mounting element 341B and the mounting base 31B.
Preferably, the two side portions of the mounting element 341B respectively have a sliding groove 3415B. The holding shell 32B has two sliding blocks 322B. Each of the sliding blocks 322B of the holding shell 32B is held in each of the sliding grooves 3415B of the mounting element 341B respectively. When the mounting element 341B moves relative to the holding shell 32B, each of the sliding blocks 322B of the holding shell 32B slides in each of the sliding grooves 3415B of the mounting element 341B respectively. In this way, unwanted phenomena like deflection of the mounting element 341B can be avoided, thereby ensuring the safety and the reliability of the lamp 100B when being used.
It is worth mentioning that after the lamp body 20B of the present invention is mounted on the support body 10B, the disassembling channel 2113B of the high-end lamp disc 211B will be corresponding to the mounting element 341B of the automatic mounting device 30B. Therefore, an installer can insert a tool such as a screwdriver into the disassembling channel 213B of the high-end lamp disc 211B, so as to utilize the tool to abut and push against the mounting element 341B. When the mounting element 341B moves toward the mounting base 31B, the mounting element 341B will gradually be hidden and concealed in the holding space 35B. At the moment, the elastic restoration mechanism 33B will become elastic deformation due to the extrusion and pressing of the mounting element 341B. When an external force applied to the mounting element 341B is revoked, the elastic restoration mechanism 33B will drive the mounting element 341B to move in a direction away from the mounting base 31B to return the mounting element 341B to an installed state. Preferably, the mounting element 341B has a groove 3411B. The detachable channel 2113B of the high-end lamp disc 211B can correspond to the groove 3411B of the mounting element 341B. When the tool is pressed against the mounting element 341B via the disassembling channel 2113B of the high-end lamp disc 211B, the end of the tool is held in the groove 3411B, so that when the tool is utilized to act on the mounting element 341B, it can prevent unwanted phenomena like "slipping" of the end portion of the tool from occurring on the surface of the mounting element 341B.
Referring to Figs. 19 and 20, the mounting element 341B has a guide surface 3412B for guiding the mounting element 341B to be mounted at the mounting channel 131B of the mounting arm 13B of the lamp body 20B. It is worth mentioning that the guide surface 3412B of the mounting element 341B is an incline surface or curvy surface.
In addition, the mounting element 341B further has a holding groove 3413B, so as for having part of the mounting arm 13B of the lamp body 20B be held in the holding groove 3413B of the mounting element 341B subsequently and therefore having the lamp body 20B be mounted on the support body 10B. Preferably, the holding groove 3413B of the mounting element 341B is formed through denting the lower end of the mounting element 341B. Namely, the holding groove 3413B of the mounting element 341B is a groove for holding, so as to provide a bulge structure 314B of the mounting element 341B formed at the lower part of the holding groove 3413B of the mounting element 341B. The bulge structure 3414B is able to prevent the mounting element 341B from automatically disengaging from the inside of the mounting channels 131B of the mounting arms 13B without external force, so as to ensure the security of the lamp 100B.
Further, the lamp 100B comprises a wiring terminal 40B. The wiring terminal 40B is disposed on the support element 11B of the support body 10B. The luminous part 22B of the lamp body 20B is electrically connected to the wiring terminal 40B. The wiring terminal 40B is adapted to be connected to an external power supply. For example, the wiring terminal 40B can be electrically connected to a city power network so as to supply electric energy to the luminous part 22B through the wiring terminal 40B and the city power network. It is worth mentioning that after the lamp body 20B is mounted on the support body 10B, the wiring terminal 40B will become hidden and concealed by being accommodated in the accommodating space 210B.
Figs. 21A-21D illustrate a process of the lamp 100B being mounted to the lamp attachment 200B. Specifically, in the stage as illustrated in Fig. 21A, the support element 11B of the support body 10B is mounted onto the lamp attachment 200B through an expansion screw or similar mechanism. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 21B, the installer is capable of support the lamp body 20B with bare hand and aligns the low ends of the mounting elements 341B of the two automatic mounting devices 30B arranged on the support body 10B with the mounting channels 131B of the two mounting arms 13B of the lamp body 20B. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 21C, an installer applies a force on the lamp body 20B at a lower portion of the lamp body 20B, so as to drive the lamp body 20B to move toward the lamp attachment 200B. At this time, the low end of the mounting element 341B begins to be inserted into the mounting channels 131B of the mounting arms 13B. The inner wall of the mounting arms 13B for forming the mounting channels 131B applies force on the mounting element 341B so as to drive the mounting element 341B to move toward the mounting base 31B. At this moment, the mounting element 341B is gradually hidden and concealed into the holding space 35B, and the elastic restoration mechanism 33B is elastically deformed due to being pressed and extruded by the mounting element 341B. Meanwhile, because the guide surface 3412B of the mounting element 341B is an inclined surface or a curvy surface, therefore during the process of the mounting element 341B being gradually inserted into the mounting channel 131B of the mounting arm 13B, the guide surface 3412B of the mounting element 341B can guide the mounting element 341B to be mounted to the mounting channel 131B of the mounting arm 13B. At a stage as illustrated in Fig. 21D, when the mounting element 341B passes through the mounting channel 131B of the mounting arm 13B, because the inner wall of the mounting arm 13B for forming the mounting channel 131B does not continue to apply force to the mounting element 341B, therefore under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33B, the mounting element 341B will automatically return to the installed state. At this moment, part of the mounting arm 13B will be retained in the holding groove 3413B of the mounting element 341B so as to mount the lamp body 20B onto the support body 10B.
It is worth mentioning that the lower portion of the holding groove 3413B of the mounting element 341B is the bulge structure 3414B of the mounting element 341B. Therefore, when no external force is applied to the lamp body 20B, for example, when there is no external force pulling the lamp body 20B toward the lamp attachment 200B, the bulge structure 3414B can prevent the mounting arms 13B from disengaging from the holding grooves 3413B of the mounting elements 341B, thereby preventing the lamp body 20B from being automatically disengaged from the support body 10B so as to ensure the safety of the lamp 100B when being used.
According to the invention, the groove bottom of the holding groove 3413B of the mounting element 341B is an inclined surface. Under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33B, the mounting arm 13B is able to abut against the inclined surface of the mounting element 341B, so that the lamp body 20B is able to stay mounted on the support body 10B, and a gap is prevented from occurring between the top edge of the lamp disc wall 2112B of the high-end lamp disc 211B and the lamp attachment 200B.
Figs. 21E-21G illustrate the process of the lamp body 20B being detached from the support body 10B. Specifically, in the stage as illustrated in Fig. 21E, an installer can insert a tool such as a screwdriver into the accommodating space 210B via the disassembling channel 2113B of the high-end lamp disc 211B from the outside of the lamp body 20B, and the end of the tool can abut the mounting element 341B in a manner of being retained in the groove 3411B of the mounting element 341B. In the stage as illustrated in in Fig. 21F, an installer applies an external force to the tool so as to drive the mounting element 341B to move toward the mounting base 31B by having the tool abut against the mounting element 341B, so that the mounting element 341B is gradually hidden and concealed in the holding space 35B. At this moment, the elastic restoration mechanism 33B generates elastic deformation due to the extrusion of the mounting element 341B. In the stage as illustrated in Fig. 21G, under the effect of the self-gravity of the lamp body 20B, the mounting elements 341B of the automatic mounting devices 30B can be detached from the inside of the mounting channels 131B of the mounting arms 13B automatically so as to detach the lamp body 20B from the support body 10B. At this moment, since there is no external force continues to act on the mounting elements 341B, under the action of the elastic restoration mechanism 33B, the mounting elements 341B can return to the installation state.
