[0058] Referring to FIGS. 4-5, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the base plate 20 further has a second connecting portion 21 extending thereon. The second connecting portion 21 is preferably formed by extending outwardly along the middle of the base plate 20. The second connecting portion 21 is preferably detachably connected to the first connecting portion 113, thereby achieving detachable connection of the panel light to the mounting position.

[0059] According to one embodiment of the invention, the mounting member 10 is a separate member relative to the base plate. During the installation process, the mounting member 10 may first be bonded to the mounting position by a member similar to the double-sided tape 30 (shown in FIG. 1); then the base plate 20 is connected to the first connecting portion 113 via the second connecting portion 21 so that the base plate 20 may be mounted to the mounting position. In this embodiment, a plurality of mounting members 10 may be disposed at the mounting position in advance by bonding or magnetic attraction; and then the panel lamp provided with the foregoing base plate 20 on the back cover is connected to the mounting position through the connection of the second connecting portion 21 and the first connecting portion 113; a plurality of panel lights are mounted on the mounting position in a preset pattern.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the invention, the mounting member 10 is a separate member relative to the base plate. During the installation process, the mounting member 10 may be first connected to the base plate 20 through the connection of the second connecting portion 21 and the first connecting portion 113; at the same time, the double-sided adhesive tape is adhered to the first surface 111. Then, the panel light mounted with the mounting member 10 is bonded to the mounting position as needed.

[0061] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an inner side surface of the first connecting portion 113 is preferably formed with an annular groove 114. The second connecting portion 21 preferably comprises a plurality of connecting members 211 connectable to the annular groove 114. The plurality of the connecting members 211 are preferably arranged in a circular ring pattern and at an interval, and the connecting members 211 extends outward to form bosses 212. The plurality of bosses 212 are also arranged in a circular ring pattern such that when the second connecting portion 21 is coupled to the first connecting portion 113, the plurality of the bosses 212 are slidably connected in the annular groove 114 such that the base plate 20 is rotatable relative to the mounting member 10. Therefore, the panel light having the second connecting portion 21 is made rotatable relative to the mounting position to further adjust the relative angle of the panel light after the mounting of the panel light is completed. Or, the mounting relative angle is adjusted when the panel light is mounted.

[0062] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the structures of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion may be interchanged, that is, the mounting angle of the mounting member 10 relative to the base plate 20 may also be achieved by disposing the second connecting portion on the mounting member 10, and disposing the first connecting portion on the base plate 20, without adjusting other structures.

[0063] In the present embodiment, the base plate 20 is preferably rotated relative to the mounting member 10 to achieve the adjustment of the mounting angle. Of course, other similar alternative adjustment manners are also within the scope of the present application.

[0064] Compared with the prior art, in the present invention, with the mounting member 10 and the base plate 20 being provided, the first surface 111 of the mounting member 10 may be connected to the mounting position such as a roof, wall surface, or ceiling by magnetic attraction or bonding. The first connecting portion 113 extending on the second surface 112 may be detachably connected to the second connecting portion 21 on the base plate 20. Further, during the installation process, the mounting member 10 may be fixedly connected to the mounting position in advance according to actual needs, and the mounting of the base plate 20 is achieved through the connection of the first connecting portion 113 and the second connecting portion 21.

[0065] At the same time, the annular grooves 114 formed on the inner side surface of the first connecting portion 113 are snap-fitted with the bosses 212 on the connecting members 211 of the second connecting portion 21, and meanwhile the plurality of bosses 212 may all slide within the annular grooves 114, thereby effecting rotation of the base plate 20 relative to the mounting member 10 to facilitate adjustment of the mounting angle of the panel light.

[0066] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member 211 on the second connecting portion 21 may also be configured as a circular ring-shaped member rotatably connected to the annular groove 114. Preferably, the circular ring-shaped member is provided with an annular boss 212 which is slidably connected in the annular groove 114, thereby achieving rotation of the base plate 20 relative to the mounting member 10 to facilitate adjustment of the mounting angle.

[0067] Referring to FIGS. 2-3, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, the circular ring-shaped member is provided with a plurality of bosses 212, and the plurality of bosses 212 are arranged on an external side surface of the circular ring-shaped member in a circular ring pattern, and are configured to be slidably connected in the annular grooves 114 to effect rotation of the base plate 20 relative to the mounting member 10 to facilitate adjustment of the mounting angle.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 3, it is preferable that the connecting member 211 are formed by extending vertically outward along a surface of the base plate 20, and the bosses 212 are formed by extending in a direction away from a center of the base plate 20 along an external surface of the connecting members 211. Furthermore, it is preferable that the boss 212 comprises an upper slope 215 and a lower slope 216 which are disposed obliquely relative to the surface of the base plate 20. This design facilitates the connection and detachment between the mounting member 10 and the base plate 20, thereby facilitating the mounting and detachment of the panel light relative to the mounting position.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 2-3, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mounting member 10 is further provided with a plurality of through slots 13 corresponding to the plurality of connecting members 211. The number of the through slots 13 is different from that of the connecting members 211, and when the second connecting portion 21 is connected to the first connecting portion 113, all the front end portions 213 of the connecting members 211 extend through the corresponding through slots 13.

Preferably, each of the through slots 13 is in a circular arc shape. Furthermore, when the front end portion 213 of each of the connecting members 211 extends correspondingly through one of the through slots 13, the panel light in a natural state or in a mounted state does not rotate relative to the mounting position. Such a design may ensure that the relative positions of the second connecting portion 21 and the first connecting portion 113 remain stable when an external force is not applied.

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a chamfer is provided on both sides of the front end portion 213 of the connecting member 211 in a rotation direction of the base plate 20. In the present utility model, a height of the chamfer coincides with that of the front end portion 213, that is, the height of the chamfer coincides with the height of the connecting member 211 extending through the through slot 13.
