Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a concealed quick-install light strip. [Background Technology]

[0002] Existing standard light strips are made by soldering LED chips onto a flexible circuit board, and then applying adhesive to the back during installation. This can lead to leaking wiring, uneven lighting, and unsightly installation. Traditional adhesive lamination methods can also cause the adhesive to lose its effectiveness over time, leading to warping and uneven lighting.

[0003] Commonly used aluminum channel light strips are constructed by first creating a mounting groove on the mounting surface, then inserting an aluminum channel or silicone sleeve into the groove. The light strip is then installed using screws or clips. This type of light strip requires an aluminum channel, which is expensive and inconvenient to install and remove. There are gaps between the sides of the light strip and the aluminum channel or the mounting groove, making it look disjointed and unsightly.

[0004] There is also a type of light strip that is nailed directly to the wall with screws. This type of light strip is not easy to disassemble and the presence of screws will also affect the appearance.

[0005] Existing ordinary light strips use LED chips as light sources, which are point light sources. The light emitted is scattered point light, not overall light, and the light emission is uneven, which is visually unsightly.

[0006] The existing method for connecting light strips is to directly overlap the two flexible circuit boards and then solder the pads on them. This setup also requires scraping the packaging layer on the light strip, which is not only inefficient but also unsightly. In addition, due to the voltage drop across the circuit board, the flexible circuit board cannot be extended too long.

[0007] The present invention is made based on this situation. [Summary of the invention]

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a hidden quick-install light strip with a simple structure, low cost, beautiful appearance, no leakage of installation gaps, convenient and quick installation and disassembly, no need for aluminum grooves or silicone sleeves, the light strip emits light as a whole and evenly, and can be extended to an ultra-long distance.

[0009] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0010] A concealed quick-install light strip comprises a strip-shaped quick-install housing that can be directly inserted into and fastened to a corresponding mounting groove on a wall. The quick-install housing is provided with a groove that is open upward along the length direction, and a light source assembly is provided in the groove.

[0011] In the hidden quick-release light strip as described above, the upper edges on both sides of the quick-release housing are respectively provided with outwardly extending seam shielding eaves.

[0012] In the aforementioned hidden quick-release light strip, both sides of the quick-release housing have outwardly inclined tapers, and both sides of the quick-release housing have a certain elasticity to swing inwards and outwards.

[0013] In the hidden quick-install light strip as described above, the light source assembly includes a COB light strip that can emit light as a whole, the outer cover of the COB light strip is provided with a light-transmitting sleeve for sealing it, and a reflective strip for reflecting light is provided above the light-transmitting sleeve.

[0014] In the aforementioned hidden quick-release light strip, the reflective strip has a certain elasticity and is sandwiched between the two side surfaces of the quick-release housing to open the two side surfaces.

[0015] As described above, a hidden quick-install light strip, the COB light strip includes a flexible circuit board, a light-emitting chip is encapsulated in the middle of the flexible circuit board, the light-emitting chip is coated with fluorescent glue, and a number of exposed welding pieces electrically connected to the flexible circuit board are spaced apart on both sides of the flexible circuit board.

[0016] As described above, a hidden quick-install light strip is provided with insulating sleeves on both sides of the flexible circuit board in the longitudinal direction, and the insulating sleeves on the left and right sides of the flexible circuit board respectively encapsulate cathode wires and anode wires, the cathode wires are electrically connected to the cathode of the power supply, and the anode wires are electrically connected to the anode of the power supply; at least one of the welding pieces on the left side of each independent flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the cathode wire, and at least one of the welding pieces on the right side of the flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the anode wire.

[0017] In the aforementioned hidden quick-release light strip, the quick-release housing, the light-transmitting sleeve, the reflective strip, and the insulating sleeve all have a certain degree of flexibility.

[0018] The hidden quick-install light strip as described above is integrally formed.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. This invention provides a concealed quick-release light strip. The quick-release housing can be directly inserted into a corresponding mounting slot on the wall and secured by friction, eliminating the need for aluminum slots or silicone sleeves. After creating a mounting slot on a wall or other mounting surface, the concealed quick-release light strip can be directly pressed and clamped into the slot, enabling quick installation and removal while reducing costs.

[0021] 2. The upper edges of both sides of the quick-install housing are each provided with outward-extending awnings. The awnings can cover the gaps in the mounting slots on both sides of the light strip, making the light strip and the wall appear seamlessly integrated, without any abrupt feeling, and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0022] 3. The quick-release housing of the present invention has outward-inclined tapers on both sides, and the quick-release housing has a certain degree of elasticity, so the quick-release housing and the light source assembly therein can be easily inserted into the mounting slot. The taper of the two side surfaces of the quick-release housing can also increase its friction in the mounting slot, making it more securely installed.

[0023] 4. The COB light strip of the present invention can emit linear light, which is then reflected by the reflective strip, making it appear as a whole light, rather than emitting scattered light. The overall light emission has a good visual effect and is more beautiful.

[0024] 5. This invention connects multiple independent flexible circuit boards in parallel by extending the cathode and anode wires. Each independent flexible circuit board is not directly connected, but is independently connected to the cathode and anode wires. This allows the light strip to be extended beyond its original length without being affected by voltage drop.

[0025] In addition, when connecting two sections of light strips, first connect the cathode wires and anode wires of the front and rear sections of the light strips respectively, then weld the welding piece on the left side of the rear section of the light strip to the cathode wire, and weld the welding piece on the right side of the rear section of the light strip to the anode wire, which is convenient for connection.

[0026] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0027] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the present invention;

[0028] Figure 2 It is the explosion schematic diagram of the present invention; [Specific implementation method]

[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2The hidden quick-install light strip shown includes a strip-shaped quick-install housing 1 that can be directly inserted into and fastened to a corresponding mounting groove on the wall. The quick-install housing 1 is provided with a groove 11 that is open upward along the length direction, and a light source assembly 2 is provided in the groove 11.

[0031] The quick-release housing 1 can be directly inserted into the corresponding mounting slot on the wall and fastened by friction, eliminating the need for aluminum slots or silicone sleeves required for traditional light strips. After the mounting slot is first created on the wall or other mounting surface, the concealed quick-release light strip can be directly pressed and clamped into the mounting slot, allowing for quick installation and removal while reducing costs.

[0032] Specifically, the upper edges on both sides of the quick-install housing 1 are respectively provided with outwardly extending seam shielding eaves 12. The seam shielding eaves 12 can cover the installation slot gaps on both sides of the light strip, so that the light strip and the wall appear to be integrated without any abrupt feeling and are more beautiful.

[0033] Specifically, both sides of the quick-release housing 1 have outwardly inclined tapers, and both sides of the quick-release housing 1 have a certain degree of elasticity to swing inward and outward. This makes it relatively easy to insert the quick-release housing 1 and the light source assembly 2 therein into the mounting slot. The elasticity of the tapers on both sides of the quick-release housing 1 also increases the friction in the mounting slot, making it more secure.

[0034] Specifically, the light source assembly 2 includes a COB light strip 21 that can emit light as a whole. The COB light strip 21 is provided with a light-transmitting cover 22 for sealing it. A reflective strip 23 for reflecting light is provided above the light-transmitting cover 22.

[0035] Unlike traditional LED SMD light strips, this embodiment uses a COB light source. The COB light source used in the light strip emits a linear light source with an overall luminous effect, rather than the point light source of traditional light strips. The reflective strip 23 can reflect and refract the light emitted by the COB light strip 21, making the light emitted by the light strip more uniform and softer. The reflective strip 23 is preferably provided with a groove opening downward, so that the reflective strip 23 has a better reflective effect.

[0036] Specifically, the reflective strip 23 has a certain elasticity and is sandwiched between the two sides of the quick-install housing 1 to spread the two sides apart. In this way, the reflective strip 23 presses the two sides of the quick-install housing 1 tightly against the two sides of the installation slot, increasing friction and making the installation more stable.

[0037] Specifically, the COB light strip 21 includes a flexible circuit board 211, with a light-emitting chip 212 encapsulated in the middle. The light-emitting chip 212 is coated with fluorescent glue. A number of exposed solder pads 213 are spaced apart on either side of the flexible circuit board 211 for electrical connection. This allows the COB light strip 21 to emit linear light, which is then reflected by the reflective strips 23 to appear as a single, integrated light source, rather than scattered, dots. This overall illumination creates a better visual effect and a more aesthetically pleasing design.

[0038] Specifically, insulating sleeves 214 are provided on both sides of the flexible circuit board 211 in the longitudinal direction, and cathode wires 215 and anode wires 216 are respectively encapsulated in the insulating sleeves 214 on the left and right sides of the flexible circuit board 211. The cathode wire 215 is electrically connected to the cathode of the power supply, and the anode wire 216 is electrically connected to the anode of the power supply. At least one of the welding pieces 213 on the left side of each independent flexible circuit board 211 is electrically connected to the cathode wire 215, and at least one of the welding pieces 213 on the right side of the flexible circuit board 211 is electrically connected to the anode wire 216.

[0039] Due to voltage drop, extending the flexible circuit board 211 directly would result in insufficient voltage, making it difficult to extend the strip too far. However, this embodiment connects multiple independent flexible circuit boards 211 in parallel by extending the cathode and anode wires 215 and 216. Each independent flexible circuit board 211 is not directly connected, but rather individually connected to the cathode and anode wires 215 and 216. This allows the light strip to be extended beyond its original length without being affected by voltage drop.

[0040] In addition, when connecting two sections of light strips, first connect the cathode wire 215 and the anode wire 216 of the front and rear sections of the light strips respectively, then weld the welding piece 213 on the left side of the rear section of the light strip to the cathode wire 215, and weld the welding piece 213 on the right side of the rear section of the light strip to the anode wire 216, which is convenient for connection.

[0041] Specifically, the quick-release housing 1, light-transmitting cover 22, reflective strip 23, and insulating cover 214 all have a certain degree of flexibility. The quick-release housing 1 and insulating cover 214 are preferably made of PVC, the light-transmitting cover 22 is preferably made of translucent silicone, and the reflective strip 23 is preferably made of translucent silicone. This allows the light strip to be bent and folded at various angles for easy installation and conformity to the mounting surface.

[0042] Specifically, the hidden quick-install light strip is integrally formed. All components in this embodiment can be put into a mold and integrally formed, which is simple to manufacture and more beautiful.

[0043] The hidden quick-install lamp in this embodiment can be widely used in various lighting fields, such as wall lamps, cabinet lamps, advertising light boxes, or made into other lamps, which are not limited in this embodiment.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here.
