  • Patent number: 12669237
    Abstract: A combined fan and light fixture with quick-release structure is provided, in which retaining recesses each with an L-shaped configuration are defined on a mounting base, and latch protrusions and a latch mechanism matched with the retaining recesses are disposed at an annular connecting cover of a fan and light assembly. During installation, one only needs to align each of the latch protrusions with a corresponding recess opening, then lift and rotate each of the latch protrusions. Thereafter, a restoring force of an elastic member in the latch mechanism automatically drives a latch switch to move upward and abut against an end portion of one recess opening aligned therewith, thereby achieving rapid locking. This process is tool-free, simple, safe, and significantly improves efficiency of both installation and disassembly. Meanwhile, the latch mechanism effectively restricts relative rotation between the fan and light assembly and the mounting base, ensuring connection reliability.
