Title: Trim Unit for Lamp and Lamp

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The disclosure relates to the field of lamp accessories, and in particular to a downlight trim. 
     BACKGROUND 
     A downlight is generally embedded in a ceiling to illuminate in the form of downwards emitting light, the downlight, as a decorative lamp, is widely used in the fields of commerce, office buildings and home lighting because it does not occupy a space and may increase a soft atmosphere of the space. 
     In a conventional downlight structure, a light-emitting end of the downlight is provided with a trim ring, and light emitted by the downlight is emitted through a light exit port in the middle of the trim ring.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
     It is to be noted that embodiments in the present application and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other in the case without conflicting. The disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the drawings in combination with the embodiments. 
     It should be pointed out that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. 
     In the disclosure, unless otherwise specified, orientation words used such as “up, down, top, and bottom” are usually for directions shown in the drawings, or for a component itself in vertical, perpendicular or gravitational direction; similarly, in order to understand and describe conveniently, “inner and outer” refer to the inner and outer relative to an outline of each component itself, but the above orientation words are not used to limit the disclosure. 
       FIG. 1  shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary combined structure of a lamp in accordance with the disclosure. As shown in  FIG. 1 , the lamp  10  of the present application includes: a lamp main body  102 , and a trim unit  104  which is fixed to the lamp main body  102  in a removable manner. In the lamp main body  102 , an illuminating unit (not shown) is installed. According to a direction of light emitted by the illuminating unit, the lamp  10  includes a light-shooting end  10 -A and a light-emitting end  10 -B along a Z-axis direction. Namely, the light emitted from the illuminating unit is emitted from the light-shooting end  10 -A towards the light-emitting end  10 -B. A middle portion, positioned on an XY plane, of the trim unit  104  is provided with a light exit port, and the light emitted from the illuminating unit is shot to the light exit port. As shown in  FIG. 2 , the lamp main body  102  may be embedded in a ceiling, and then, in an installation direction as shown by a direction of arrow in  FIG. 2 , the light-emitting end of the trim unit  104  is fixed to the lamp main body  102  in the removable manner. The trim unit  104  may be provided with one or more installation parts, for example, the installation parts (such as lug bosses  202 ,  204  and  206  protruded towards an inner side of the lamp main body  102 ) may be uniformly interval-installed along a circumferential direction of the trim unit  104 . For example, the lug bosses  202 ,  204  and  206  may be directly locked on the lamp main body, thereby it is achieved that the trim unit  104  is fixed to the lamp main body  102  in a fastener manner. For another example, as shown in  FIG. 3 , as a part matched with the installation parts of the trim unit  104 , the inner side of the lamp main body may be provided with a fixture. In  FIG. 3 , at the inner side of the lamp main body, the fixture is installed along an inner circumferential surface. In an embodiment as shown in  FIG. 3 , the inner side of the lamp main body is axially provided with a guide rail  302 , and grooves  304  are uniformly interval-installed on the guide rail  302 , the lug bosses installed on the trim unit  104  are abutted with the grooves  304  of the lamp main body, and then it is rotated along the guide rail  302 , it may be achieved that the trim unit  104  is fixed to the lamp main body  102 . Whether a direct locking manner is used or a manner in which the lug bosses are embedded into the lamp main body through the grooves on the lamp main body and then rotated and fixed is used, it may be achieved that the trim unit is rotated around a Z-axis in the XY plane, thereby a purpose of adjusting a fixing position of the trim unit is achieved. In addition, through interval-installing multiple installation parts along the circumferential direction of the trim unit, multiple fixtures are interval-installed along the circumferential direction of the lamp main body, the fixing firmness of the trim unit may be improved.
