[0057] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0058] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4As shown, a linear lamp adopting a novel electrical connection structure includes a lamp 1 and a socket 2 electrically connected to the lamp 1. The lamp 1 includes a support frame 11, a circuit board 12 disposed within the support frame 11, a light-transmitting plate 13 covering the opening of the support frame 11, side covers 14 assembled on both sides of the support frame 11, and a lamp pin terminal 10 with one end electrically connected to the circuit board 12. The support frame 11 is a profile commonly used in linear lamps in the prior art. The other end of the lamp pin terminal 10 extends from either side cover 14 and is electrically connected to one end of the socket 2. The other end of the socket 2 is connected to an external power source via a wire 3. The socket 2 includes a housing 21 with open ends at both ends and an elastic wire clamp 22 disposed within the housing 21 and serving as a conductive terminal. The lamp pin terminal 10 can be inserted from the front end of the housing 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22. The core 30 of the wire 3 can be inserted from the rear end of the housing 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22. The lamp pin terminal 10 and the core 30 are electrically connected within the elastic wire clamp 22. When installing the cabinet, there is no need to create a large aperture; the aperture only needs to be sufficient for wire threading, and the linear lamp does not need to be installed simultaneously with the cabinet. When installation is required, the core 30 of the wire 3 is inserted from the rear end of the housing 21 and the socket 2 is inserted into the mounting slot. The lamp 1 is then inserted into the mounting slot, while the lamp pin terminal 10 is inserted from the front end of the housing 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22. This structural design is ingenious, simple to install, and easy to repair and replace. The linear light is designed as a module group that is easy to disassemble and assemble. When replacing, there is no need to replace the entire linear light. You only need to replace the damaged module or accessories. The replacement is convenient, saving time and effort.

[0059] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 7As shown, the elastic wire clamp 22 is made of metal and is integrally formed by stamping and bending, so it also has a certain degree of elasticity. The two ends of the elastic wire clamp 22 are bent upward to form a first elastic piece 221 and a second elastic piece 222. An insertion space 223 is formed between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222. The insertion space 223 has a constricted structure from the outside to the inside. In other words, the upper end of the insertion space 223 has a flared structure, which is conducive to the insertion of the lamp pin terminal 10. The middle part of each of the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 has a lamp pin clamping groove 224 for clamping the lamp pin terminal 10; the lamp pin terminal 10 can be cylindrical, sheet-shaped, or other shapes. In this embodiment, the lamp pin terminal 10 is preferably cylindrical, so the lamp pin clamping groove 224 is arc-shaped, which is conducive to clamping the lamp pin terminal 10. The bottom of the elastic wire clamp 22 extends backward to form a first clamping piece 227, and the rear end of the first elastic piece 221 or the second elastic piece 222 is provided with a second clamping piece 228 located at the upper end of the first clamping piece 227; during assembly, the lamp foot terminal 10 is inserted from the front end of the elastic wire clamp 22 and clamped between the two lamp foot clamping grooves 224, and the wire core 30 is inserted from the rear end of the elastic wire clamp 22 and clamped between the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228; the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228 are both elastic pieces or one of them is an elastic piece and the other is a fixed piece. The first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228 are distributed up and down. The first clamping piece 227 presses the wire core 30 downward, effectively preventing the wire core 30 from tilting up and down, making the assembly more secure and stable.

[0060] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 8 As shown, a wire core clamping space 225 is formed between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 at the lower end of the lamp pin clamping groove 224. During assembly, the wire core 30 is inserted into the wire core clamping space 225. After assembly, the lamp pin terminal 10 presses on the wire core 30. The pressing of the wire core 30 by the lamp pin terminal 10 can further prevent the wire core 30 from tilting up and down, making the assembly more secure and stable, and also allowing the lamp pin terminal 10 to directly contact the wire core 30 for electrical conduction.

[0061] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 7As shown, a downwardly protruding hook 229 is provided at the bottom of the elastic wire clamp 22, and the upper and lower sides of the front end of the shell 21 are both open structures so that an insertion notch 210 for inserting the lamp pin terminal 10 is formed on the upper side of the front end of the shell 21, and a bayonet 211 adapted to the hook 229 is formed on the lower side of the rear end of the shell 21. After assembly, the hook 229 rests on the wall surface of the bayonet 211. This structure can prevent the elastic wire clamp 22 from being pulled out, so that the elastic wire clamp 22 is firmly stuck in the shell 21 and is not easily pulled out or falls off.

[0062] In this embodiment, to prevent the socket 2 from falling out of the cabinet's mounting slot during installation, the socket 2 also includes an elastic clip 23 that fits over the outer side of the housing 21. The middle portion of the elastic clip 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing 21, and the ends of the elastic clip 23 are respectively tilted upward and located on either side of the housing 21. Furthermore, the lower end of the housing 21 is provided with an outwardly protruding fixing portion 212. The middle portion of the elastic clip 23 has a fixing hole 230 for the fixing portion 212 to pass through. After the fixing portion 212 passes through the fixing hole 230, it undergoes high-temperature deformation to seal the fixing hole 230, thereby securing the middle portion of the elastic clip 23 to the lower end of the housing 21. The fixing hole 230 shown in the figures is before high-temperature deformation. During assembly, the tilted ends of the elastic clip 23 can be locked in the cabinet's mounting slot. To remove the socket 2, the tilted ends of the elastic clip 23 can be pressed to tighten the elastic clip 23, facilitating removal of the socket 2.

[0063] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the assembly efficiency, a sleeve 15 is provided on the circuit board 12, and one end of the lamp pin terminal 10 is inserted into the sleeve 15 for fixation and conductive connection. The lamp pin terminal 10 and the sleeve 15 are tightly fitted or interference fit, eliminating complex process steps such as welding, and the assembly is simple and fast.

[0064] The novel electrical connection structure used in this linear lamp can also be applied to other lamps, thereby achieving rapid assembly, disassembly, and maintenance. A novel electrical connection structure between a lamp and a socket includes a lamp 1 and a socket 2 electrically connected to the lamp 1. One end of the lamp 1 has an outwardly extending lamp pin terminal 10. One end of the socket 2 is connected to the lamp pin terminal 10. The other end of the socket 2 is connected to an external power source via a wire 3. The socket 2 includes a housing 21 with openings at both ends, and an elastic wire clamp 22 disposed within the housing 21 and serving as a conductive terminal. The lamp pin terminal 10 can be inserted from the front end of the housing 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22. The core 30 of the wire 3 can be inserted from the rear end of the housing 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22. The lamp pin terminal 10 and the core 30 are electrically connected within the elastic wire clamp 22. When installation is required, the core 30 of the wire 3 is inserted from the rear end of the shell 21, and then the lamp pin terminal 10 of the lamp 1 is inserted from the front end of the shell 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22, so that the lamp pin terminal 10 and the core 30 are conductively connected in the elastic wire clamp 22; this structural design is ingenious, simple to install, and easy to maintain and replace.

[0065] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 7As shown, the elastic wire clamp 22 is made of metal and is integrally formed by stamping and bending, so it also has a certain degree of elasticity. The two ends of the elastic wire clamp 22 are bent upward to form a first elastic piece 221 and a second elastic piece 222. An insertion space 223 is formed between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222. The insertion space 223 has a constricted structure from the outside to the inside. In other words, the upper end of the insertion space 223 has a flared structure, which is conducive to the insertion of the lamp pin terminal 10. The middle part of each of the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 has a lamp pin clamping groove 224 for clamping the lamp pin terminal 10; the lamp pin terminal 10 can be cylindrical, sheet-shaped, or other shapes. In this embodiment, the lamp pin terminal 10 is preferably cylindrical, so the lamp pin clamping groove 224 is arc-shaped, which is conducive to clamping the lamp pin terminal 10. The bottom of the elastic wire clamp 22 extends backward to form a first clamping piece 227, and the rear end of the first elastic piece 221 or the second elastic piece 222 is provided with a second clamping piece 228 located at the upper end of the first clamping piece 227; during assembly, the lamp foot terminal 10 is inserted from the front end of the elastic wire clamp 22 and clamped between the two lamp foot clamping grooves 224, and the wire core 30 is inserted from the rear end of the elastic wire clamp 22 and clamped between the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228; the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228 are both elastic pieces or one of them is an elastic piece and the other is a fixed piece. The first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228 are distributed up and down. The first clamping piece 227 presses the wire core 30 downward, effectively preventing the wire core 30 from tilting up and down, making the assembly more secure and stable.

[0066] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 8 As shown, a wire core clamping space 225 is formed between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 at the lower end of the lamp pin clamping groove 224. During assembly, the wire core 30 is inserted into the wire core clamping space 225, and after assembly, the lamp pin terminal 10 presses on the wire core 30. The pressing down of the wire core 30 by the lamp pin terminal 10 further prevents the wire core 30 from tilting up and down, making the assembly more secure and stable, while also ensuring direct contact between the lamp pin terminal 10 and the wire core 30 for electrical conduction.

[0067] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 7As shown, a downwardly protruding hook 229 is provided at the bottom of the elastic wire clamp 22, and the upper and lower sides of the front end of the shell 21 are both open structures so that an insertion notch 210 for inserting the lamp pin terminal 10 is formed on the upper side of the front end of the shell 21, and a bayonet 211 adapted to the hook 229 is formed on the lower side of the rear end of the shell 21. After assembly, the hook 229 rests on the wall surface of the bayonet 211. This structure can prevent the elastic wire clamp 22 from being pulled out, so that the elastic wire clamp 22 is firmly stuck in the shell 21 and is not easily pulled out or falls off.

[0068] In this embodiment, to prevent the socket 2 from falling out of the cabinet's mounting slot during installation, the socket 2 also includes an elastic clip 23 that fits over the outer side of the housing 21. The middle portion of the elastic clip 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing 21, and the ends of the elastic clip 23 are respectively tilted upward and located on either side of the housing 21. Furthermore, the lower end of the housing 21 is provided with an outwardly protruding fixing portion 212. The middle portion of the elastic clip 23 has a fixing hole 230 for the fixing portion 212 to pass through. After the fixing portion 212 passes through the fixing hole 230, it undergoes high-temperature deformation to seal the fixing hole 230, thereby securing the middle portion of the elastic clip 23 to the lower end of the housing 21. The fixing hole 230 shown in the figures is before high-temperature deformation. During assembly, the tilted ends of the elastic clip 23 can be locked in the cabinet's mounting slot. To remove the socket 2, the tilted ends of the elastic clip 23 can be pressed to tighten the elastic clip 23, facilitating removal of the socket 2.

[0069] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the assembly efficiency, a sleeve 15 is provided on the circuit board 12, and one end of the lamp pin terminal 10 is inserted into the sleeve 15 for fixation and conductive connection. The lamp pin terminal 10 and the sleeve 15 are tightly fitted or interference fit, eliminating complex process steps such as welding, and the assembly is simple and fast.

[0070] In this embodiment, the applicant believes that the socket is an essential accessory of the linear lamp and can also be regarded as an independent accessory product for processing and production by the manufacturer.

[0071] As attached Figure 4 To the attached Figure 7As shown, a new type of socket 2 includes a housing 21 with openings at both ends, and an elastic clamp 22 disposed within the housing 21 and serving as a conductive terminal. The elastic clamp 22 is made of metal and is integrally formed by stamping and bending, thus possessing a certain degree of elasticity. The ends of the elastic clamp 22 are bent upward to form a first elastic piece 221 and a second elastic piece 222. An insertion space 223 is formed between the first and second elastic pieces 221, 222. The insertion space 223 has a tapered structure from the outside to the inside; in other words, the upper end of the insertion space 223 is flared, facilitating the insertion of the lamp pin terminal 10. The middle parts of the first elastic sheet 221 and the second elastic sheet 222 both have a lamp pin clamping groove 224 for clamping the lamp pin terminal 10; since the lamp pin terminal 10 can be cylindrical, sheet-shaped, or other shapes, but in this embodiment, it is considered that the lamp pin terminal 10 is cylindrical and is the best technical solution, so the lamp pin clamping groove 224 is arc-shaped, which is conducive to clamping the lamp pin terminal 10. The bottom of the elastic wire clamp 22 extends backward to form a first clamping piece 227, and the rear end of the first elastic piece 221 or the second elastic piece 222 is provided with a second clamping piece 228 located at the upper end of the first clamping piece 227; during assembly, the lamp foot terminal 10 is inserted from the front end of the elastic wire clamp 22 and clamped between the two lamp foot clamping grooves 224, and the wire core 30 is inserted from the rear end of the elastic wire clamp 22 and clamped between the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228; the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228 are both elastic pieces or one of them is an elastic piece and the other is a fixed piece. The first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228 are distributed up and down. The first clamping piece 227 presses the wire core 30 downward, effectively preventing the wire core 30 from tilting up and down, making the assembly more secure and stable.

[0072] In this embodiment, a downwardly protruding hook 229 is provided at the bottom of the elastic wire clamp 22, and the upper and lower sides of the front end of the shell 21 are both open structures, so that an insertion notch 210 for inserting the lamp pin terminal 10 is formed on the upper side of the front end of the shell 21, and a bayonet 211 adapted to the hook 229 is formed on the lower side of the rear end of the shell 21. After assembly, the hook 229 rests on the mouth wall of the bayonet 211. This structure can prevent the elastic wire clamp 22 from being pulled out, so that the elastic wire clamp 22 is firmly stuck in the shell 21 and is not easily pulled out or falls off.

[0073] In this embodiment, to prevent the socket 2 from falling out of the cabinet's mounting slot during installation, the socket 2 also includes an elastic clip 23 mounted on the outside of the housing 21. The middle portion of the elastic clip 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing 21, and the two ends of the elastic clip 23 are respectively tilted upward and located on either side of the housing 21. Furthermore, the lower end of the housing 21 is provided with an outwardly protruding fixing portion 212. The middle portion of the elastic clip 23 has a fixing hole 230 for the fixing portion 212 to pass through. After the fixing portion 212 passes through the fixing hole 230, it undergoes high-temperature deformation to block the fixing hole 230, thereby fixing the middle portion of the elastic clip 23 to the lower end of the housing 21. The fixing hole 230 shown in the accompanying drawings is the structure before high-temperature deformation.

[0074] In this embodiment, a method for assembling a novel linear lamp is provided, comprising a lamp 1 and a socket 2 electrically connected to the lamp 1. The lamp 1 comprises a support frame 11, a circuit board 12 disposed within the support frame 11, a light-transmitting plate 13 covering an opening of the support frame 11, side covers 14 mounted on both sides of the support frame 11, and a lamp pin terminal 10 having one end electrically connected to the circuit board 12, with the other end of the lamp pin terminal 10 extending from either side cover 14.

[0075] The socket 2 includes a housing 21 with openings at both ends, an elastic clip 22 disposed in the housing 21 and serving as a conductive terminal, and an elastic card 23 sleeved on the outside of the housing 21.

[0076] The two ends of the elastic wire clamp 22 are bent upward to form a first elastic piece 221 and a second elastic piece 222. An insertion space 223 is formed between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222. The insertion space 223 is a constricted structure from the outside to the inside. The middle of the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 has a lamp pin clamping groove 224 for clamping the lamp pin terminal 10. The bottom of the elastic wire clamp 22 extends backward to form a first clamping piece 227. The first elastic piece 221 or the rear end of the second elastic piece 222 is provided with a second clamping piece 228 located above the first clamping piece 227; during assembly, the lamp pin terminal 10 is inserted from the front end of the elastic wire clamp 22 and clamped between the two lamp pin clamping grooves 224, and the wire core 30 is inserted from the rear end of the elastic wire clamp 22 and clamped between the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228; the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228 are both elastic pieces or one of them is an elastic piece and the other is a fixed piece;

[0077] The middle portion of the elastic card 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing 21, and the two ends of the elastic card 23 are respectively tilted upward and located on both sides of the housing 21;

[0078] The assembly method comprises the following steps:

[0079] Step 1: Pre-open the installation slot at the location where the linear light is to be installed in the cabinet, and reserve wires for the external power supply;

[0080] Step 2: Insert the core 30 of the wire 3 from the rear end of the housing and clamp it between the first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228; then press the socket 2 into the installation slot so that the two ends of the elastic card 23 are tightly fitted with the installation slot;

[0081] Step 3: Press the lamp 1 into the installation slot and insert the lamp pin terminal 10 into the lamp pin clamping slot 224 from above the front end of the housing 21 so that the lamp pin terminal 10 is clamped between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 .

[0082] There is no need to open a large aperture when installing the cabinet. The aperture only needs to be large enough for the wires to pass through, and the linear light does not need to be installed simultaneously with the cabinet. The structure is cleverly designed, simple to install, and easy to repair and replace.

[0083] In this embodiment, a wire core clamping space 225 is formed between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 at the lower end of the lamp pin clamping groove 224. During assembly, the wire core 30 is inserted into the wire core clamping space 225. After assembly, the lamp pin terminal 10 is pressed against the wire core 30, further preventing the wire core 30 from tilting up and down, making the assembly more secure and stable, and also allowing the lamp pin terminal 10 to directly contact the wire core 30 for electrical conduction.

[0084] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 7 As shown, a downwardly protruding hook 229 is provided at the bottom of the elastic wire clamp 22, and the upper and lower sides of the front end of the shell 21 are both open structures so that an insertion notch 210 for inserting the lamp pin terminal 10 is formed on the upper side of the front end of the shell 21, and a bayonet 211 adapted to the hook 229 is formed on the lower side of the rear end of the shell 21. After assembly, the hook 229 rests on the wall surface of the bayonet 211. This structure can prevent the elastic wire clamp 22 from being pulled out, so that the elastic wire clamp 22 is firmly stuck in the shell 21 and is not easily pulled out or falls off.

[0085] In this embodiment, to prevent the socket 2 from falling out of the cabinet's mounting slot during installation, the socket 2 also includes an elastic clip 23 that fits over the outer side of the housing 21. The middle portion of the elastic clip 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing 21, and the ends of the elastic clip 23 are respectively tilted upward and located on either side of the housing 21. Furthermore, the lower end of the housing 21 is provided with an outwardly protruding fixing portion 212. The middle portion of the elastic clip 23 has a fixing hole 230 for the fixing portion 212 to pass through. After the fixing portion 212 passes through the fixing hole 230, it undergoes high-temperature deformation to seal the fixing hole 230, thereby securing the middle portion of the elastic clip 23 to the lower end of the housing 21. The fixing hole 230 shown in the figures is before high-temperature deformation. During assembly, the tilted ends of the elastic clip 23 can be locked in the cabinet's mounting slot. To remove the socket 2, the tilted ends of the elastic clip 23 can be pressed to tighten the elastic clip 23, facilitating removal of the socket 2.

[0087] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the lamp 1 from falling off from the installation slot of the cabinet during installation, an elastic sheet that is the same as or similar to the elastic card 23 can be mounted on the lamp 1 so that the lamp 1 can be better stuck in the installation slot and not easily fall off.

[0088] In this embodiment, a cabinet is provided for mounting a novel linear lamp. The cabinet includes a cabinet having a mounting slot defined therein for embedding the linear lamp. The linear lamp comprises a lamp 1 and a socket 2 electrically connected to the lamp 1. The lamp 1 includes a support frame 11, a circuit board 12 disposed within the support frame 11, a light-transmitting plate 13 covering an opening in the support frame 11, side covers 14 mounted on both sides of the support frame 11, and a lamp pin terminal 10 with one end electrically connected to the circuit board 12. The support frame 11 is a profile commonly used in linear lamps in the prior art. The other end of the lamp pin terminal 10 extends from either side cover 14 and is electrically connected to one end of the socket 2. The other end of the socket 2 is connected to an external power source via a wire 3. The socket 2 includes a housing 21 with open ends at both ends and an elastic wire clamp 22 disposed within the housing 21 and serving as a conductive terminal. The lamp pin terminal 10 can be inserted from the front end of the housing 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22. The core 30 of the wire 3 can be inserted from the rear end of the housing 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22. The lamp pin terminal 10 and the core 30 are electrically connected within the elastic wire clamp 22. When installing the cabinet, there is no need to create a large aperture; the aperture only needs to be sufficient for wire threading, and the linear lamp does not need to be installed simultaneously with the cabinet. When installation is required, the core 30 of the wire 3 is inserted from the rear end of the housing 21 and the socket 2 is inserted into the mounting slot. The lamp 1 is then inserted into the mounting slot, while the lamp pin terminal 10 is inserted from the front end of the housing 21 and clamped by the elastic wire clamp 22. This structural design is ingenious, simple to install, and easy to repair and replace.

[0089] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 7As shown, the elastic wire clamp 22 is made of metal and is integrally formed by stamping and bending, so it also has a certain degree of elasticity. The two ends of the elastic wire clamp 22 are bent upward to form a first elastic piece 221 and a second elastic piece 222. An insertion space 223 is formed between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222. The insertion space 223 has a constricted structure from the outside to the inside. In other words, the upper end of the insertion space 223 has a flared structure, which is conducive to the insertion of the lamp pin terminal 10. The middle part of each of the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 has a lamp pin clamping groove 224 for clamping the lamp pin terminal 10; the lamp pin terminal 10 can be cylindrical, sheet-shaped, or other shapes. In this embodiment, the lamp pin terminal 10 is preferably cylindrical, so the lamp pin clamping groove 224 is arc-shaped, which is conducive to clamping the lamp pin terminal 10.

The first clamping piece 227 and the second clamping piece 228 are distributed up and down. The first clamping piece 227 presses the wire core 30 downward, effectively preventing the wire core 30 from tilting up and down, making the assembly more secure and stable.

[0090] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 8 As shown, a wire core clamping space 225 is formed between the first elastic piece 221 and the second elastic piece 222 at the lower end of the lamp pin clamping groove 224. During assembly, the wire core 30 is inserted into the wire core clamping space 225. After assembly, the lamp pin terminal 10 presses on the wire core 30.
