## Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a lamp which comprises a driving plate, a hanging plate, and a main lamp. The driving plate comprises an elastic probe. Each of the hanging plate and the main lamp comprises a contact piece for electrically connecting with the elastic probe. The driving plate is in buckle connection with the hanging plate and the main lamp. The elastic probe on the driving plate is electrically connected to the contact piece on the hanging plate when the driving plate is engaged with the hanging plate. The elastic probe on the driving plate is electrically connected to the contact piece on the main lamp when the driving plate is engaged with the main lamp. A feasible dual-purpose panel lamp which enables more convenient installation can be provided by embodiments of the present disclosure.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A dual-purpose panel lamp, comprising a driving plate, a hanging plate, and a main lamp, wherein:
the driving plate comprises an elastic probe;
each of the hanging plate and the main lamp comprises a contact piece for electrically connecting with the elastic probe;
the driving plate is in buckle connection with the hanging plate and the main lamp;
the elastic probe on the driving plate is electrically connected to the contact piece on the hanging plate when the driving plate is engaged with the hanging plate; and
the elastic probe on the driving plate is electrically connected to the contact piece on the main lamp when the driving plate is engaged with the main lamp.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The lamp of claim 1, wherein the buckle connection includes coupling the driving plate to the hanging plate or the main lamp through a slot and a limiting protrusion, wherein one side of the slot has a notch for the limiting protrusion to extend into, and wherein the other side of the slot has a bump for limiting the limiting protrusion within the slot.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The lamp of claim 2, further comprising an auxiliary groove positioned away from the side having the notch, the auxiliary groove having a recess positioned near the bump.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The lamp of claim 3, wherein the main lamp includes a frame, a frame mounting component for mounting the frame, and an LED chip disposed at a side of the frame, and the frame mounting component is disposed on top of the LED chip.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The lamp of claim 4, wherein the main lamp comprises a hanging wire mounting component connected to the hanging plate and a lamp body mounting component connected to the driving plate, at least one reinforcing component is disposed in the main lamp, and the hanging wire mounting component and the lamp body mounting component are both provided on the reinforcing component.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The lamp of claim 5, the hanging plate includes a hanging plate mounting component for connecting to the driving plate and an outer cover disposed under the hanging plate mounting component, and the edges of the outer cover are inclined upwardly.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The lamp of claim 6, wherein a background light is disposed on the hanging plate and inside the outer cover.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The lamp of claim 7, wherein the lamp comprises two elastic probes, two contact pieces, four hanging wire mounting members, and four limiting protrusions.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The lamp of claim 8, wherein the bump is under the lower side of the slot and close to an end point of the slot.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

An installation method for a dual-purpose panel lamp of claim 9, comprising the steps of:
sliding the limiting protrusions on the hanging plate into the slot on the driving plate;
sliding the driving plate to cause the limiting protrusions to deform the bump in the slot and push the bump into an end of the slot;
electrically connecting the two elastic probes with the two contact pieces after the bump is reset; and
connecting the four hanging wires on the hanging plate to the four hanging wire mounting components.
