[0028] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a quick connection device
with a waterproof function includes an upper cover 200 and a lamp
100, where the upper cover 200 includes an upper cover body 221 and
an upper cover covering edge 231 integrally formed with the upper
cover body 221, the upper cover covering edge 231 is positioned at
an outer side of the upper cover body 221, and an inner wall of the
upper cover body 221 is provided with a clamping groove 211; the
lamp 100 includes a lower cover 110 connected to the upper cover
200, the lower cover 110 includes a lower cover body 114 and a
lower cover covering edge 113 integrally formed with the lower
cover body 114, the lower cover covering edge 113 is positioned at
an outer side of the lower cover body 114, a clamping block 111 is
arranged on an outer wall of the lower cover body 114, and the
lower cover body 114 is clamped in the clamping groove 211 of the
upper cover body 221 through the clamping block 111; when the upper
cover 200 is connected to the lower cover 110, the upper cover
covering edge 231 is positioned at an outer side of the lower cover
covering edge 113, and a plane where a lower edge of the upper
cover covering edge 231 is located is lower than a plane where an
upper edge of the lower cover covering 113 edge is located.
[0029] It should be noted that the upper cover 200 and the lower
cover 110 can be in any shape, as long as they can be clamped
together with the clamping block 111 and the clamping groove 211.
In this embodiment, the upper cover 200 and the lower cover 110
each preferably have a cylindrical structure with a single side
opening, or can be arranged in a square or another shape, as long
as they can be clamped. The specific shape is adjustable according
to actual needs. It can be understood that since the lower cover
110 needs to be embedded into the upper cover 200 for clamping, the
single-sided opening can be more beneficial to implementing the
above connection mode. It can be understood that the clamping block
111 is arranged at the outer side of the lower cover body 114, and
the clamping groove 211 is arranged at the inner side of the upper
cover body 221, so the diameter of the lower cover body 114 is less
than that of the upper cover body 221, and the specific value is
adjustable according to actual needs, as long as the clamping block
111 can be used for clamping. It can be understood that for the
sake of waterproof effect, after the upper cover 200 and the lower
cover 110 are clamped, the opening of the upper cover 200 is
downward and the opening of the lower cover 110 is upward.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper cover covering edge 231 is
located at an outer side of the lower cover covering edge 113, and
there is a height difference, so that the upper cover covering edge
231 can block splashed water. The lower cover covering edge 113 has
a certain height, and can achieve a certain blocking effect on
water flowing in from a gap. It can be understood that, based on
the above requirements for the waterproof effect, in this
embodiment, the diameter of the upper cover covering edge 231 is
greater than that of the lower cover covering edge 113, and the
diameter of the lower cover covering edge 113 is greater than that
of the upper cover body 221, to implement better mounting and
fitting. It should be noted that the clamping block 111 can be
clamped with the clamping groove 211 in any form, and is preferably
slidably clamped in this embodiment, which can implement mounting
more conveniently. It can be understood that the clamping groove
211 and the clamping block 111 can have any shape and any angle. In
this embodiment, preferably, the clamping groove 211 tapers from an
inlet end to a tail end and forms a certain included angle with the
horizontal plane. The clamping block 111 is fitted with the
clamping groove 211 in angle, so that the clamping block 111 can
slide into the clamping groove 211 under the condition that the
upper cover 200 and the lower cover 110 are not completely attached
to each other. During sliding, the clamping groove 211 has a
certain angle and tapers, so that when the clamping block 111
slides to the tail end of the clamping groove 211, the upper cover
200 is close to the lower cover 110, thereby making the mounting
more convenient.
[0030] Referring to FIG. 2, further, in another embodiment of the
present disclosure, an outer side surface of the upper cover
covering edge 231 is provided with a plurality of anti-sliding
portions 232.
[0031] It should be noted that the number of the anti-sliding
portions 232 may be arbitrary, as long as it can facilitate the
rotation of the upper cover 200 to make the upper cover 200 clamped
with the lower cover 110. It can be understood that, in this
embodiment, preferably, a plurality of anti-sliding portions 232
can be equidistantly distributed, to better facilitate the mounting
of the upper cover 200.
[0032] Referring to FIG. 2, in another embodiment of the present
disclosure, the anti-sliding portion 232 is a protrusion protruding
from the surface of the upper cover covering edge 231, and a
plurality of second connecting holes 233 for arranging connecting
pieces are further formed in the anti-sliding portion 232.
[0033] It should be noted that the anti-sliding portion 232 may be
a protrusion, or anti-sliding stripe, or the like, which can be
configured to assist in rotating the upper cover 200. In this
embodiment, a protrusion is preferably used to make it easier to
rotate the upper cover 200. It can be understood that the second
connecting hole 233 provided in the anti-sliding portion 232 is
used as a reserved hole, and can be configured to connect any
component, for example, connecting to the lamp 100 through the
connecting pieces. The specific connecting component and connecting
mode can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0034] Referring to FIG. 2, in another embodiment of the present
disclosure, the clamping groove 211 is a sliding groove with a
single side opening, and a contact surface between the clamping
groove 211 and the clamping block 111 is provided with a
tooth-shaped protrusion for fastening the clamping block 111.
[0035] It should be noted that it is only preferable in this
embodiment that the clamping groove 211 is open at a single side,
and the clamping groove 211 may be open at both sides and then
positioned through a positioning component. In this embodiment,
preferably, the clamping groove 211 is a sliding groove with a
single side opening. Besides, the tooth-shaped protrusion is
arranged in the clamping groove 211 to implement anti-sliding and
fastening during sliding of the clamping block 111.
[0036] Referring to FIG. 2, in another embodiment of the present
disclosure, the upper cover covering edge 231 includes at least two
clamping grooves 211, a groove 223 is formed between adjacent
clamping grooves 211, and blocking portions 212 are formed at two
sides of the groove 223.
[0037] It should be noted that the number of the clamping grooves
211 can be arbitrary, as long as the upper cover 200 is stably
clamped with the lower cover 110. In this embodiment, preferably,
there are three clamping grooves 211 and three clamping blocks 111,
and the specific number is adjustable according to actual
production needs. It should be noted that a plurality of clamping
grooves 211 may be embedded in different positions of the upper
cover covering edge 231. In this embodiment, preferably, the groove
223 is formed between adjacent clamping grooves 211 for
distinguishing, and the blocking portions 212 are formed for
positioning.
[0038] Referring to FIG. 3, further, in another embodiment of the
present disclosure, a bottom side of the lower cover 110
corresponding to the clamping block 111 is further provided with a
positioning groove 112 for fitting and positioning with the
blocking portion 212.
[0039] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, preferably, the
positioning groove 112 penetrates through the lower cover 110, and
the penetrating structure of the positioning groove can prevent the
situation that the positioning groove 112 cannot be mounted when it
is thick. After the clamping block 111 is clamped into the clamping
groove 211, the lower side of the clamping groove 211 adheres to
the bottom of the lower cover 110, and the blocking portion 212
adheres to a side wall of the positioning groove 112, so that the
positioning groove 112 can be sealed to avoid affecting the
waterproof performance.
[0040] Further, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, a
plurality of first connecting holes 117 for connecting external
components are further reserved in the lower cover 110.
[0041] It should be noted that the first connecting hole 117 can be
configured to connect any component, for example, connecting an
external water-blocking component through a connecting piece. Since
a certain gap is reserved between the upper cover 200 and the lower
cover 110 after mounting, the first connecting hole 117 is formed
so that the water-blocking component can be arranged through the
gap to further improve the waterproof performance of the ceiling
fan. The first connecting hole may alternatively be configured to
connect other components. The specific connection mode and
components can be selected according to actual needs.
[0042] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, further, in another
embodiment of the present disclosure, a mounting hole 222 is formed
in the upper cover 200, a column bolt 115 passing through the lower
cover 110 is arranged at a position of the lower cover 110
corresponding to the mounting hole 222, an inner side of the column
bolt 115 is provided with an internal thread, and an outer side of
the column bolt 115 is provided with an external thread.
[0043] It should be noted that the mounting hole 222 and the column
bolt 115 are configured to be connected with a motor 300. Lower
sides of most motors are usually provided with screwing members for
connection with lamps. For example, in this embodiment, the lower
side of the motor 300 is provided with a motor column bolt 310.
Therefore, the mounting hole 222 is formed in the upper cover 200,
so that the motor column bolt 310 can pass through the internal
thread of the column bolt 115 for fitting and connection, to fix
the motor 300. It can be understood that the lower cover 110 can be
integrally formed with the lamp 100, or can be fixedly connected to
the lamp 100 through a screwing member. In this embodiment,
preferably, the fixed connection is implemented, which facilitates
disassembly, assembly, maintenance and replacement. Based on this,
in this embodiment, the outer side of the column bolt 115 is
provided with the external thread, so that the column bolt can be
fixedly connected with the lamp through screw-thread fitting.
[0044] Further, in another embodiment of the present disclosure,
one side of the column bolt 115 is further provided with a
positioning block 116, and the positioning block 116 and the column
bolt 115 are integrally formed.
[0045] In this embodiment, since the lamp usually includes a
plurality of components, in order to implement the unification of
assembly, the positioning block 116 is integrally formed in the
column bolt 115, which can improve the accuracy of mounting the
lamp 100.
[0046] Referring to FIG. 5, in another embodiment of the present
disclosure, the lamp 100 further includes a heat dissipation pad
120, a lamp panel 130 and a lampshade 140 which are fixedly
connected to the lower cover 110.
[0047] It should be noted that the components included in the lamp
100 can be arbitrarily matched, as long as the basic functions of
the lamp 100 can be realized, and details are not repeated herein.
It can be understood that since the positioning block 116 is
arranged in the column bolt 115, in this embodiment, preferably, a
first through hole 121 is formed in the heat dissipation pad 120
and a second through hole 131 is formed in the lamp panel 130, and
the shapes and positions of the first through hole 121 and the
second through hole 131 are the same as those of the column bolt
115 and the positioning hole 116, thereby ensuring that the
mounting directions are consistent during mounting.
[0048] In addition, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, another
embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a quick
connection device with a waterproof function, which is roughly the
same as the structure of the above embodiment, and differs in that:
the clamping block 111 is arranged at the inner side of the upper
