[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in one, this embodiment is a waterproof light bulb, comprising:

[0040] The lampshade 1 is a hollow structure with one end open, and has a light source installation cavity 12 inside;

[0041] The light-emitting circuit board 2 is arranged in the light source installation cavity 12 of the lampshade 1, and has a neutral line access port 21 and a live line access port 22 for accessing the power supply at one end, and a light-emitting member 23 at the other end;

[0042] The waterproof silicone pad 3 is connected to the open end of the lampshade 1 and is fixedly connected to the light-emitting circuit board 2 to fix the light-emitting circuit board 2 in the light source installation cavity 12;

[0043] The lamp holder 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of the open end of the lampshade 1, and the waterproof silicone pad 3 is fixed on the lampshade 1;

[0044] This program also includes:

[0045] A self-locking member 5, fixed on the live wire access port 22 of the light-emitting circuit board 2;

[0046] The first conductive member 6 is a rod-shaped structure, one end of which is plugged and fixed with the self-locking member 5, and the other end of which vertically passes through the waterproof silicone pad 3 and is exposed outside the waterproof silicone pad 3. The waterproof silicone pad 3 is correspondingly provided with a through hole 31 for the first conductive member 6 to pass through, and the through hole 31 and the part of the first conductive member 6 passing through the through hole 31 are interference fit. The lamp holder 4 is provided with an avoidance hole 41 at the other end corresponding to the first conductive member 6, and the inner edge of the avoidance hole 41 is spaced from the other end of the first conductive member 6, and its main purpose is to avoid interference between the neutral and live wires;

[0047] The second conductive member 7 is made of conductive wire, one end of which is fixedly connected to the neutral line access port 21 of the light-emitting circuit board 2 , and the other end of which is led out of the lampshade 1 and conductively connected to the lamp holder 4 .

[0048] Among them, as a possible implementation mode, further, the self-locking member 5 described in this embodiment is a tubular structure made of conductive material, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the live wire access port 22 of the light-emitting circuit board 2, and one end of the first conductive member 6 is plugged and fixed in the tubular structure of the self-locking member 5, and as a specific structural method, preferably, the self-locking member 5 is provided with an elastic tongue 51 extending obliquely along a direction close to its axial center, and the part of the first conductive member 6 that penetrates into the self-locking member 5 is provided with a retracted section 61, and the retracted section 61 is close to the end of the first conductive member 6 that penetrates into the self-locking member 5, and the retracted section 61 is locked with the elastic tongue 51.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the other end of the first conductive member 6 is mainly used to connect to the live wire. Therefore, in order to avoid the problem of poor contact, as a possible implementation mode, further, the other end of the first conductive member 6 is provided with a conductive portion 62 with an arc-shaped structure. The main function of the conductive portion 62 is to increase the contact area to avoid the problem of poor contact when the bulb is in use.

[0050] In order to improve the assembly effect and facilitate assembly, as a possible implementation mode, further, the outer wall of the open end of the lampshade 1 described in this embodiment is provided with an external thread 11, and the inner wall of the lamp holder 4 is provided with an internal thread 42, and the lamp holder 4 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the open end of the lampshade 1 through the internal thread 42.

[0051] Since the main purpose of the present scheme is to provide a bulb with good waterproof effect, therefore, as a possible implementation mode, further, the main structure of the waterproof silicone pad 3 of the present scheme is columnar, one end of which is inserted into the inner side of the open end of the lampshade 1, and is provided with a contoured slot 32 adapted to the structure of one end of the light-emitting circuit board 2, and one end of the light-emitting circuit board 2 is inserted into the contoured slot 32; the outer wall of the other end of the silicone pad body is provided with an annular extension portion 33, and the annular extension portion 33 is overlapped at the end of the open end of the lampshade 1.

[0052] In order to prevent the conductive part 62 of the first conductive component 6 from shifting during assembly or installation, which would cause a short circuit between it and the lamp holder 4, as a preferred implementation scheme, a protrusion 34 is preferably provided at the center of the other end of the silicone pad body of the waterproof silicone pad 3 corresponding to the avoidance hole 41 of the lamp holder 4, and the protrusion 34 is partially higher than the avoidance hole 41, and the other end of the first conductive component 6 passes through the protrusion 34 and is exposed outside the waterproof silicone pad 3.

[0053] As a possible implementation mode, further, the second conductive member 7 of the present invention can be formed of copper, iron or aluminum, and as a possible wiring mode of the second conductive member 7, further, the other end of the second conductive member 7 of the present invention is led out of the lampshade 1 between the outer wall of the silicone pad body of the waterproof silicone pad 3 and the inner wall of the open end of the lampshade 1, and is led out of the lampshade 4 through the gap between the inner wall of the lamp holder 4 and the outer wall of the open end of the lampshade 1 and is partially exposed outside the lamp holder 4. Since the lamp holder 4 and the outer wall of the open end of the lampshade 1 are threadedly connected in the present embodiment, an avoidance groove 13 can be provided on the outer wall of the open end of the lampshade 1 to lead out the second conductive member 7. The end of the second conductive member 7 is exposed outside the lamp holder 4 and is fixed to the lamp holder 4 to achieve conductive connection, so as to avoid the problem of poor contact between the second conductive member 7 and the lamp holder 4. At the same time, in order to improve the installation reliability of the lamp holder 4 and the lamp shade 1, the lamp holder 4 can be firstly glued on its inner wall, and then threadedly sleeved on the external thread 11 at the open end of the lamp shade 1 to form a sealing glue layer 14 to achieve sealed installation. Since the waterproof silicone pad 3 itself is made of silicone material, it has a certain elasticity. Therefore, when the lamp holder 4 is threadedly sleeved on the lamp shade 1, it will squeeze the annular extension portion 33 of the waterproof silicone pad 3 to a certain extent, so as to achieve the sealed fit between the lamp holder 4 and the waterproof silicone pad 3.

[0054] refer to Figure 6 As a circuit structure of the light-emitting circuit board 2 mentioned in this embodiment, it specifically includes resistors R1, R2, R3, a light-emitting diode LED, and a rectifier bridge MB6S, wherein the first pin of the rectifier bridge MB6S is connected to one end of the resistor R1, and the other end of the resistor R1 is connected to the live wire terminal L of the external power supply. In this solution, the self-locking member is connected to the other end of the resistor R1 to facilitate its connection to the live wire; in addition, the third pin of the rectifier bridge MB6S is connected to the neutral wire terminal N of the external power supply, the second pin of the rectifier bridge MB6S is connected in series with the resistor R2 and the resistor R3 in sequence and connected to the positive electrode of the light-emitting diode LED, and the fourth pin of the rectifier bridge MB6S is connected to the negative electrode of the light-emitting diode LED.
