In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter presented herein. Obviously, the implementation embodiment in the description is a part of the present disclosure implementation examples, rather than the implementation of all embodiments, examples. According to the described exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by one of ordinary skill in the related art on the premise of no creative work are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(15) It should also be understood that the terms used in the specification of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments without being intended to limit the present disclosure. As used in the description of the present disclosure and the appended claims, terms of one, one and the in a singular form are intended to include a plural form unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

(16) It should also be further understood that the term and/or used in the description of the present disclosure and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes these combinations.

(17) Referring to FIGS. 1-11, a downlight assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a downlight 10 and a power supply 20 electrically connected to the downlight 10 for supplying power for the downlight 10, so that the downlight 10 emits light for illumination. The downlight 10 includes a first wiring member 11 and the power supply 20 includes a second wiring member 21 electrically connected to the first wiring member 11. The downlight 10 further includes a protection member 30 connected to the first wiring member 11 and configured to connect and disconnect the first wiring member 11 and the second wiring member 21. When a voltage supplied by the power supply 20 is too great, the first wiring member 11 is disconnected from the second wiring member 21, and the first wiring member 11 can be manually reset to connect to the second wiring member 21 after the power outage is occurred, so as to repeatedly provide power outage protection for the downlight 10. It should be noted that the voltage is too great mentioned above is referred to the voltage higher than a voltage that the power supply 20 can withstand.

(18) The protection member 30 includes a freeing member 31, a limiting member 32 and a power-off member 33, the freeing member 31 arranged on a top portion a of the first wiring member 11, the limiting member 32 installed inside the first wiring member 11, and the power-off member 33 installed inside the limiting member 32 and configured to connect and disconnect the first wiring member 11 and the second wiring member 21; and wherein the freeing member 31 is configured to adsorb the limiting member 32 when a voltage supplied by the power supply 20 is too great, so as to quickly disconnect the first wiring member 11 and the second wiring member 21 through the power-off member 33, which allows for immediate power-off for protecting the power supply 20 and improving safety during using the power supply 20.

(19) The first wiring member 11 includes a wire 111 and a sleeve 112 connected to an end of the wire 111 and configured to clamp with a wiring terminal 211 of the second wiring member 21. The freeing member 31 includes a micro-transformer 311 installed on the sleeve 112, and an electromagnet 312 installed above the micro-transformer 311. The micro-transformer 311 is configured to convert a voltage transmitted by the second wiring member 21 into a voltage that can be used by the electromagnet 312, and transmit to the electromagnet 312. After the electromagnet 312 is powered on and started, the electromagnet 312 adsorbs the limiting member 32 upwards to release the power-off member 33 that is limited by the limiting member 32, in order to achieve a purpose that power outage is occurred. At this time, the first wiring member 11 the second wiring member 21 are disconnected with each other. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the limiting member 32 limits the power-off member 33, the first wiring member 11 and the second wiring member 21 are electrically connected, thereby achieving the purpose that the downlight 10 is powered on.

(20) The limiting member 32 includes a cone barrel 321, a guiding plate 322 and a plurality of limiting balls 323. The cone barrel 321 is installed in the sleeve 112 and vertically arranged on the limiting member 32, and a size of one end of the cone barrel 321 close to the guiding plate 322 is greater than that of the other end of the cone barrel 321 (that is, an upper opening of the cone barrel 321 is larger than a lower opening of the cone barrel 321). The guiding plate 322 is installed on an upper portion b of the cone barrel 321 and the plurality of limiting balls 323 is received in the cone barrel 321. By setting the limiting member 32, the cone barrel 321 can limit movement of the plurality of limiting balls 323, and the cone barrel 321 itself is a conical structure with a large upper portion and a small lower portion. The guiding plate 322 can limit a movement of the power-off member 33. When the plurality of limiting balls 323 moves downwards, the plurality of limiting balls 323 gradually clamps with the power-off member 33, thereby limiting a position of the power-off member 33. The plurality of limiting balls 323 is a metal sphere that can move upwards under a magnetic force when the electromagnet 312 is activated, thereby releasing a clamping with the power-off member 33.

(21) The power-off member 33 includes a wiring plate 331, a limiting pin 332 and a limiting spring 333, a lower portion c of the limiting pin 332 passing through the guiding plate 322 and sliding relative to the guiding plate 322. The wiring plate 331 is arranged at a bottom end d of the limiting pin 332 and located at the lower portion e of the cone barrel 321, the wiring plate 331 configured to electrically connect the first wiring member 11 and the second wiring member 21. The limiting spring 333 sleeves on the limiting pin 332, an upper end f of the limiting spring 333 abutting against the guiding plate 322, and a lower end g of the limiting spring 333 abutting against the plurality of limiting balls 323. When the limiting pin 332 comes into contact with the limiting ball 323, that is, when the limiting ball 323 clamps with the limiting pin 332, the limiting ball 323 is limited. At this time, the wiring plate 331 is located in a connection position thereof, and the first wiring member 11 is electrically connected to the second wiring member 21. When the limiting ball 323 is not in contact with the limiting pin 332, that is, when the electromagnet 312 adsorbs the limiting ball 323 upwardly, the limiting ball 323 releases a limit with the limiting pin 332. At this time, the limiting ball 323 drives the wiring plate 331 to fall down under an action of gravity, thereby releasing an electrical connection between the wiring plate 331 and both of the first wiring member 11 and the second wiring member 21.

(22) A usage process is as follows: first, the second wiring member 21 is connected to the first wiring member 11 through the protection member 30 to transfer electrical energy to the downlight 10. When the voltage of the power supply 20 is too great, electrical energy is transmitted to the micro-transformer 311. The micro-transformer 311 converts the voltage into electrical energy that is used by the electromagnet 312, the electromagnet 312 starts to adsorb the limiting ball 323 upwardly, so that the limiting ball 323 drives the limiting spring 333 to move upwardly, and the limiting ball 323 releases a compression of the limiting pin 332. The limiting pin 332 drives the wiring plate 331 to fall off under the action of gravity, in this way, the wiring plate 331 will disconnect the electrical connection between the first wiring member 11 and the second wiring member 21, thereby disconnecting a circuit of the downlight 10. When power supply needs to be restored, the power supply 20 is turned off and the limiting pin 332 is reinserted into the cone barrel 321 until the limiting pin 332 passes through the guiding plate 322. Then, the limiting ball 323 will move downwards along the cone barrel 321 by following with the limiting spring 333, and gradually come into contact with the limiting pin 332. When the limiting ball 323 moves to the lower portion e of the cone barrel 321, the limiting ball 323 clamps with the limiting pin 332. At this time, the first wiring member 11 is electrically connected to the second wiring member 21. At the same time, if the voltage is too great again, the electromagnet 312 adsorbs the limiting ball 323 upwardly, and drives the limiting spring 333 to move upwardly. The limiting ball 323 releases the compression on the limiting pin 332, so that the limiting pin 332 drive the wiring plate 331 to fall off under the action of gravity. The wiring plate 331 releases the electrical connection between the first terminal member 11 and the second terminal member 21, thereby disconnecting the circuit thereof. If power needs to be restored again, the limiting pin 332 is reinserted into the cone barrel 321 to move downwardly along the cone barrel 321, and gradually come into contact with the limiting pin 332. When the limiting pin 332 moves to the lower portion e of the cone barrel 321, the limiting pin 332 clamps with the limiting pin 332 to electrically connect the first wiring member 11 to the second wiring member 21, which is repeatedly.

(23) In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the downlight 10 further includes a body 12, a connecting member 13 and a diffusion cover 14, one end h of the connecting member 13 detachably connected to the body 12, and the other end i of the connecting member 13 connected to the diffusion cover 14. Specifications of the diffusion covers 14 are different, for example, there are three types of specifications: an upper specification, a medium specification and a lower specification. By setting the connecting member 13, the diffusion cover 14 can be quickly replaced. Different diffusion covers 14 have different light angles, and by detachable setting the connecting member 13, the diffusion covers 14 with different specifications can be quickly replaced, thereby improving a replacement efficiency of the diffusion cover 14.

(24) In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the connecting member 13 and the diffusion cover 14 are integrated with each other to reduce the number of components and assembly costs thereof. The connecting member 13 that is arranged on the diffusion cover 14 with different specifications should be of the same size.

(25) The connecting member 13 is circular and includes a plurality of L-shaped clamping grooves 131, and the body 12 includes a clamp 121 matched with the plurality of clamping grooves 131 and clamped inside the plurality of clamping grooves 131. Specifically, during installing the connecting member 13, the clamping groove 131 of the connecting member 13 is aligned with the clamp 121 of the tube body 12, and then the connecting member 13 rotates, so that the clamp 121 rotates to a tail of the clamping groove 131 to position the connecting member 13 and the body 12. When needing to replace the connecting member 13, rotating the connecting member 13 until an opening position of the clamping groove 131 rotates to a position of the clamp 121, at this time, removing the connecting member 13 to disassemble the connecting member 13.

(26) The connecting member 13 further includes an installing portion 133, and the body 12 includes a protrusion 122 received in the installing portion 133. The connecting member 13 further includes an opening 132 corresponding to the protrusion 122, when the clamp 121 is securely fastened, the protrusion 122 is received in the opening 133. The protrusion 122 plays as a positioning role. When the clamp 121 is in place, the protrusion 122 is located inside the opening 132, and the connecting member 13 and the body 12 are positioned through the protrusion 122 and the opening 132. The installing portion 133 plays as a role of preventing confusion and facilitating installation. During installation, first the protrusion 122 is inserted along the installing portion 133, to make it convenient for operators to operate (compared to aligning with the plurality of clamping grooves 131, the operator only needs to align the protrusion 122 with the installing portion 133 to insert the protrusion 122, with only one reference object, thereby making it convenient for the operator to operate the connecting member 13). After the protrusion 122 is inserted in place, the connecting member 13 rotates again so as to rotate the clamp 121 of the body 12 into a corresponding position, at this time, the protrusion 12 rotates into the opening 132 for positioning the connecting member 13. In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the protrusion 122 is connected to the body 12 through an elastic arm 123, so that the protrusion 122 has a certain degree of elasticity for easy installation and disassembly.
