The pillar part 230 may be provided in a substantially cylindrical shape, and an inner diameter may be formed to be greater than or equal to an outer diameter of the guide column 140 of the support member 100 . At least a portion of the guide pillar 140 may be accommodated inside the pillar portion 230 . A locking part 250 provided to move in the vertical direction along the outer circumferential surface or to be rotatable about the pillar part 230 may be coupled to the outside of the pillar part 230 . A stopper protruding radially outward along the upper periphery may be formed at the upper end of the pillar 230 . An upward movement of the locking unit 250 may be restricted through the stopper. A spring 270 for elastically supporting the locking part 250 may be disposed on the pillar part 230 . In one embodiment, the spring 270 is wound along the outer circumferential surface of the pillar part 230 to elastically support the locking part 250 . The pillar part 230 may be accommodated between the inner circumferential surface of the body 110 of the support member 100 and the guide pillar 140 .

A locking part 250 may be disposed on the outside of the pillar part 230 . The locking unit 250 may be provided in a generally cylindrical shape. The locking part 250 may be elastically supported by the spring 270 . The locking part 250 may be elastically moved in the vertical direction along the outer peripheral surface of the pillar part 230 . The locking part 250 may rotate elastically around the pillar part 230 . A stepped portion may be formed on one side of the inner circumferential surface of the locking portion 250 so as to be in contact with a stopper protruding from the top of the pillar portion 230 . A locking blade 260 for fastening with the locking part 130 of the support member 100 may be formed to protrude outward in the radial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the locking part 250 .

The locking blade 260 may be formed to protrude radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the locking part 250 . The locking blade 260 may be formed to extend to a predetermined length along the circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the locking unit 250 . The locking blade 260 may have a circumferential length shorter than a distance between the plurality of locking parts 130 of the support member 100 to be spaced apart from the adjacent locking parts 130 . This is because the locking blade 260 must pass between the plurality of locking parts 130 to be accommodated in the coupling process.

The locking blade 260 may include a first inclined surface 261 that is inclined downward from the upper end of the locking part 250 toward the second direction. As the first inclined surface 261 of the locking blade 260 comes into contact with the first guide surface 133 of the locking part 130 and slides along the first guide surface 133, the locking part 250 moves in the first direction. can be rotated

The locking blade 260 may include a second inclined surface 263 that is inclined downward from the radially outer end of the first inclined surface 261 toward the radially outer side. This is because the locking blade 260 may be caught on the inner circumferential surface and the lower end of the body 110 while the locking part 250 is accommodated inside the body 110 of the support member 100 for coupling, so this jamming is minimized. This is for easy accommodation of the locking unit 250 .

A plurality of locking blades 260 may be disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the locking unit 250 to be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction. In one embodiment, four locking blades 260 may be included, but are not limited thereto, and may be formed in a number corresponding to the number of the locking parts 130 of the support member 100 .

The spring 270 is for elastically supporting the locking part 250 , and according to an embodiment, the spring 270 may include a ring-shaped spring 270 wound around the outer circumferential surface of the pillar part 230 . At this time, the lower end of the spring 270 may be fixed to the flange unit 210 , and the upper end of the spring 270 may be fixed to the locking unit 250 . can be elastically supported. However, the type of the spring 270 is not limited, and any known spring 270 may be applied as long as it can elastically support the movement such as the vertical movement and rotation of the locking unit 250 . In an embodiment, the spring 270 may be provided to support the vertical and rotational movements of the locking unit 250 , respectively. That is, the spring 270 for elastically supporting the vertical movement and the spring 270 for elastically supporting the rotation about the pillar 230 may be separately provided.

Next, a mechanism for fixing and installing the lighting device 1 to the ceiling using the support member 100 and the fixing member 200 described above will be described in detail.

The operator may lift the lighting device 1 toward the support member 100 installed on the ceiling in a state where the fixing member 200 is installed on one side of the lighting device 1 . At this time, the fixing member 200 may be prepared to be coaxially aligned to be accommodated inside the support member 100 . The first inclined surface 261 of the locking blade 260 may be prepared to be in contact with the first guide surface 133 of the engaging portion 130 of the support member 100 . Preferably, the end of the first inclined surface 261 of the locking blade 260 may be prepared to be in contact with the alignment guide portion 131 of the locking portion 130 . Accordingly, the locking part 250 of the fixing member 200 may be in an aligned state to be accommodated inside the support member 100 .

When the operator applies a force upward while the fixing member 200 and the support member 100 are aligned for coupling, the first inclined surface 261 of the locking blade 260 is the first guide surface of the locking part 130 . In contact with 133 , the spring 270 is in a compressed state, and the locking blade 260 is elastically movable upward by the spring 270 . At this time, since the first inclined surface 261 of the locking blade 260 is inclined downward toward the first direction, which is the direction of the elastic force of the spring 270 , the locking blade 260 is formed by the upward elastic force of the spring 270 . The first inclined surface 261 may slide along the first guide surface 133 of the locking part 130 . However, since the first guide surface 133 of the locking part 130 is inclined upward toward the second direction, the locking blade 260 is slid along the first guide surface 133 while the locking part 250 is slid. is rotated in the first direction opposite to the elastic force of the spring 270 .

After the locking blade 260 slides to the end along the first guide surface 133 of the locking part 130, at the position where the first guide surface 133 ends, the locking part 130 is no longer the locking blade ( Since the first inclined surface 261 of the 260 cannot be pressed downward, the locking part 250 is elastically moved upward by the elastic force of the spring 270, and at the same time, the locking part 250 is the spring It can be rotated to its original position in the first direction along the second guide surface 135 by the elastic force of 270 .

Since the one end and the fixing surface 137 of the first inclined surface 261 of the locking part 130 are disposed on substantially the same vertical line, the locking blade 260 is initially formed by the alignment guide part 131 on the first inclined surface ( 261), if the upward movement is started at the position of one end, it is restored to its original state to the position of the fixing surface 137 disposed on the same vertical line by the elastic force of the spring 270.

Accordingly, the lower end surface of the locking blade 260 is in close contact with the fixing surface 137 , thereby preventing the fixing member 200 from falling. Conversely, in order to remove the lighting device 1, the lighting device 1 is rotated in the first direction to release the contact state between the lower end surface of the locking blade 260 and the fixed surface 137 of the locking part 130. do. Since the circumferential length of the locking blade 260 is formed to be shorter than the circumferential distance between the plurality of locking parts 130, the locking blade 260 passes between the locking parts 130 and is moved downward so that it is fixed. it can be released

As described above, in the lighting fixture 1 fixing system according to various embodiments of the present invention, the operator simply pushes up the fixing member 200 upward in a state in which the fixing member 200 is aligned with the support member 100, and the fixing member ( 200) can be fixedly coupled to the support member 100, it is possible to easily install the lighting device (1). In addition, the coupling of the fixing member 200 and the support member 100 can be released only by rotating the lighting device 1 without an external force in the vertical direction, so that the lighting device 1 can be easily removed.

In the above, even though it has been described that all the components constituting the embodiment of the present invention operate by being combined or combined into one, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this embodiment. That is, within the scope of the object of the present invention, all the components may operate by selectively combining one or more.
