Abstract

A bracket for modular luminaire includes a polyhedral module and a connector connected to the polyhedral module. The polyhedral module is a polyhedron provided with a cavity therein, and each surface of the polyhedron is provided with a stepped through-hole connected to the cavity, thereby forming a first annular protrusion at a junction of the stepped through-hole and the cavity. The connector includes a connector body having a cylindrical shape. On an outer periphery of the connector body, a second annular protrusion, a third annular protrusion, a fourth annular protrusion, and a fifth annular protrusion protrude outwards in a radial direction and are spaced apart from each other, and formed successively from a left end portion to a right end portion of the connector body. A left end of the connector is inserted into the stepped through-hole of the polyhedral module.

Claims (26)

1. A bracket for a modular luminaire, comprising: a polyhedral module and a connector connected to the polyhedral module;

the polyhedral module is a polyhedron internally provided with a cavity; each surface of the polyhedron is provided with a stepped through-hole connected to the cavity, thereby forming a first annular protrusion at a junction of the stepped through-hole and the cavity;

the connector comprises a connector body having a cylindrical shape; the connector body is provided with a third through-hole along an axial direction; on an outer periphery of the connector body, a second annular protrusion, a third annular protrusion, a fourth annular protrusion, and a fifth annular protrusion protrude outwards in a radial direction and are formed successively from a left end portion to a right end portion of the connector body; the second annular protrusion, the third annular protrusion, the fourth annular protrusion and the fifth annular protrusion are spaced apart;

a left end of the connector is inserted into the stepped through-hole of the polyhedral module, and the first annular protrusion is engaged between the second annular protrusion and the third annular protrusion; the connector is detachably connected to the polyhedral module; and

a plurality of the polyhedral modules are interconnected via the connector to form the bracket for the modular luminaire,

wherein the bracket further comprising a cover sheet;

the cover sheet comprises a sheet body and a snap-fit portion connected to the sheet body;

the sheet body is a decorative sheet having a size identical to the surface of the polyhedral module on an outer surface of the bracket for the modular luminaire;

the snap-fit portion comprises a cylinder provided on the sheet body; a sixth annular protrusion and a seventh annular protrusion are formed radially outward on an outer periphery of the cylinder; the sixth annular protrusion is spaced apart from the seventh annular protrusion; and

the snap-fit portion is inserted into the stepped through-hole of the polyhedral module; the first annular protrusion is engaged between the sixth annular protrusion and the seventh annular protrusion; the cover sheet is connected to the polyhedral module in a snap-fit manner.

2. The bracket for the modular luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein, a first through-hole connected to the cavity is further provided on each surface of the polyhedral module; and

two first through-holes located on opposite surfaces of the polyhedral module correspond to each other.

3. The bracket for the modular luminaire according to claim 2 , further comprising a reinforcing strip; the reinforcing strip passes through the stepped through-hole of the plurality of polyhedral modules and the third through-hole in the connector body, or passes through the first through-hole for reinforcing, fixing and supporting the bracket for the modular luminaire.

4. The bracket for the modular luminaire according to claim 2 , further comprising a wire;

the wire passes through the stepped through-hole of the plurality of polyhedral modules and the third through-hole in the connector body, or passes through the first through-hole for forming an electrical connection in the bracket for the modular luminaire.

5. The bracket for the modular luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein, a portion between the third annular protrusion and the fourth annular protrusion of the connector body is wavy, zigzag or threaded; and the portion between the third annular protrusion and the fourth annular protrusion of the connector body forms a retractable structure.

6. The bracket for the modular luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein, a second through-hole is provided on the cover sheet.

7. A modular luminaire, comprising the bracket for the modular luminaire according to claim 1 and a light source module mounted on the bracket for the modular luminaire.

8. The modular luminaire according to claim 7 , wherein, a power supply port and a control switch are provided on the bracket for the modular luminaire; and

the power supply port and the control switch are interconnected via a wire; and the control switch and the light source module are interconnected via a wire.

9. The modular luminaire according to claim 8 , wherein, a second through-hole is provided on the cover sheet.

10. The modular luminaire according to claim 7 , wherein, a first through-hole connected to the cavity is further provided on each surface of the polyhedral module; and

two first through-holes located on opposite surfaces of the polyhedral module correspond to each other.

11. The modular luminaire according to claim 7 , wherein, a portion between the third annular protrusion and the fourth annular protrusion of the connector body is wavy, zigzag or threaded; and the portion between the third annular protrusion and the fourth annular protrusion of the connector body forms a retractable structure.
