Summary of the invention
Task of the present invention is, from aforementioned prior art a kind of novel solution is provided, and this solution has realized pack into simply furred ceiling or pull down from furred ceiling of Projecting Lamp.
This task solves through the erecting device with claim 1 characteristic.Favourable improved procedure of the present invention is the theme of dependent claims.
Solution of the present invention is based on adopting novel card to end element, and the help that ends element by means of said card can be fixed on the embedding frame in the ceiling easily.The present invention stipulates that said card ends element and constitutes according to bistable mode for this reason, and in other words, said card ends element and has two stable states.At this, first stable state that card ends element can realize the embedding frame is inserted the ceiling opening or when dismantling, takes off the embedding frame; Relative with it, in second stable state, the help that ends element by means of said card is fixed on the embedding frame in the ceiling.
The present invention is corresponding to have advised a kind of erecting device that is used for the flush type light fixture, and said erecting device has: the embedding frame, and it is used to insert the ceiling opening and has the mechanism that is used to keep light fixture; And at least one card ends element, and it is used for said embedding frame is fixed on said ceiling.At this according to the present invention; Said card ends element and constitutes according to bistable mode; And can be converted to second stable state from first stable state; Under said first stable state, can realize said embedding frame is inserted said ceiling opening or takes off said embedding frame from said ceiling opening, said embedding frame is fixed in the said ceiling under said second stable state.
The characteristic of solution of the present invention especially is user's ease of use.End the bistability (Bi-
) of element based on card; Can realize simply the embedding frame being fixed in the ceiling, perhaps remove clamping simply.Correspondingly need not just can Projecting Lamp be installed in the ceiling, especially do not need to use specific purpose tool for this reason than high cost.
Dependent claims relates in particular to the structure that card ends element; Wherein, it is deformable that said card ends element, especially flexible; And have spring, end element through the said card of said spring and be stretched in advance under said first stable state or second stable state.Said card ends element especially can have two fan arms, and these two fan arms are fixed on the said embedding frame at the one of which end, and are connected to each other through said spring at its other end, and said spring especially can be a helical spring.Said fan arm has especially in its outside that the card of tooth portion form ends protuberance, is used for said ceiling or is positioned at the supporting member clamping on the said ceiling.Be also advantageous in that in addition, extend because the tooth portion said card in basic edge ends the whole outside of element, thereby these elements be from being actively tied in various ceiling thickness.This system also can irrespectively use with the thickness or the intensity of furred ceiling, need not to adjust.This also helps to improve user's ease of use.
A plurality of cards end element and can be provided with and be distributed in said embedding frame periphery.Never only limit to annular embedding frame in this present invention, but can use the embedding frame of different shape.
Further specify the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.Among the figure:

Fig. 6 illustrates by means of pack into the Projecting Lamp of ceiling of the help of installation system of the present invention; And
Fig. 7 illustrates according to the known system of prior art, and it is used for the setting-in Projecting Lamp.
State as preceding, jointly comprise two assemblies that differ from one another basically with the erecting device of the present invention of Reference numeral 1 expression in the accompanying drawings, one of which is annular embedding frame 2, and it two ends element 10 for the card that this embedding frame is fixed in the ceiling opening 51.According to Fig. 2, especially be provided with three cards in the embodiment shown and end element 10, these cards only element 10 are distributed in the periphery of embedding frame 2 and jointly this embedding frame are fixed in the ceiling 50.Yet, also can look the shape of embedding frame 2 and decide with size, change the quantity that card ends element 10.In addition, the annular embedding frame 2 shown in the replacement, the embedding frame of other shape be square or rectangle embedding frame for example, also can be fixed on the ceiling.
According to known way, embedding frame 2 self has the peripheral flange 3 of directed outside, and this flange 3 is used to be adjacent to the bottom surface of ceiling 50.Surround wall 4 and extend to end face from flange 3 inboards always, this encirclement wall 4 stretches in the installing hole 51 of ceiling 50, has on the one hand to be used for fixing the mechanism that card ends element 10, has the mechanism that is used for fixing light fixture on the other hand.According to prior art, knownly some mechanisms for example are set for the fixed light tool, realize the bayonet coupling (Bajonettverschluss) with the lamp body that will install through these mechanisms.Because this connection is known according to prior art, so followingly inquire into these no longer in detail and be used for light fixture is fixed on the element on the embedding frame 2.
The characteristic of system of the present invention is that especially card ends the structure of element 10, will further describe below that these cards end element 10 and its structure especially can be referring to Fig. 1 to Fig. 5.
Basically can see that each card ends element 10 and includes two fan arms 11, these two fan arms 11 connect 20 at its underrun bolt and are fixed on the embedding frame 2.These fan arms 11 all have eye 12 in the end above that, and the end of helical spring 15 hangs in this eye 12.Correspondingly, helical spring 15 two upper ends will fanning arm 11 are connected to each other together.In addition, in arm 11 outside relative configurations tooth portions 13, by the help of tooth portion 13 (as after describe in detail) can realize the clamping with ceiling 50.
Fan arm 11 is processed by having certain flexible material, thereby arm 11 is flexible.Because fan arm 11 is connected to each other through spring 15 in their upper end region, obtain the make of " bistable " thus.This means that card ends element 10 can be in two settling positions, only just can leave this two positions through applying power.
Fig. 1 illustrates first stable state that card of the present invention ends element 10.At this, spring arm 11 is crooked in other words towards inner bulge about embedding frame 2.The characteristic of this stable state is that especially the card with two fan arms 11 ends element 10 does not have only to protrude in slightly in other words the periphery of surrounding wall 4, but points to the inboard of opening wide.Under this state, embedding frame 2 can end the opening 51 that element 10 inserts ceiling 50 smoothly together with card fixed thereon, perhaps can from opening 51, take off once more.
Fig. 2 to Fig. 5 illustrates second stable state that card ends element 10.At this, fan wall 11 is protruding in other words towards outer bend.At this, furred ceiling 50 is close to by the tooth portion 13 that is formed on fan arm 11 outward flanges, makes embedding frame 2 and ceiling 50 clampings thus.
In principle, blocking the fan arm 11 that ends element 10 is easy to just can be deformed into the make to outer process from inwardly protruded make.Yet, connect the upper end of fanning arm 11 through helical spring 15, under the extended configuration of fan arm 11, created stop turning point in other words.When surpassing this, spring 15 trends towards tension fan arm 15 automatically; Like this, that side that is positioned at turning point according to arm 11 is decided, and perhaps causes occurring the stable state according to Fig. 1, perhaps causes occurring Fig. 2 to stable state shown in Figure 5.Corresponding therewith, card ends element 10 or remains on the position that can insert or take out embedding frame 2, perhaps remains on the position with ceiling 50 clampings.
In the time of in embedding frame 2 being mounted to ceiling 50 openings 51, element 10 all is under the state shown in Figure 1 at first will to guarantee only all to block, thereby embedding frame 2 can successfully be fixed on the ceiling 50 from bottom to top.Push card subsequently toward the outer side and end element 10, this for example can realize through applying power to helical spring 15.After surpassing above-mentioned turning point, card ends element 10 bales catch laterally, and is in Fig. 2 to position shown in Figure 5.At this,, realized embedding frame 2 fixing in ceiling 50 through cooperating of tooth portion 15 and ceiling edge.If ceiling 50 by than soft material for example plasterboard process, can also put into additional ring so, be not pressed on this ring thereby these teeth are carved into ceiling.Subsequently, can Projecting Lamp 30 be fixed on the embedding frame 2, finally obtain make shown in Figure 6.
If want to dismantle Projecting Lamp, so at first take off lamp body from embedding frame 2.Subsequently, make card end element 10 and be converted to the state that can from ceiling opening 51, take off embedding frame 2 once more.This can be simply through the pulling card ends element 10 and realizes towards the inboard on helical spring 15.After surpassing turning point, fan arm 11 is rebound position shown in Figure 1 once more at once, and tooth loses its maintenance effect and can take off embedding frame 2.
Above-mentioned explanation shows, the help that ends element by means of card of the present invention is installation and removal flush type light fixture especially simply.Especially do not need tool using for this reason.Another advantage is, because tooth portion 13 along the whole height extension of fan arm 11, therefore can be matched with the intensity and the thickness of ceiling automatically.This means that erecting device of the present invention can use under various ceiling thickness situation, and do not need to adjust specially all component of this device.
