Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical connection, and in particular to an LED driver with a quick-plug structure. Background Art

[0002] An LED driver is an electronic component that regulates the power supply and ensures the proper operation of LED lighting components. Because LEDs operate within a very narrow voltage and current range, current industrial power supplies and common battery sources are unsuitable for directly supplying LEDs. An LED driver is an electronic component that ensures the LED operates at its optimal voltage and current.

[0003] Electrical connections are a crucial component of LED lighting installation, ensuring proper operation and safety. These connections include terminal blocks, junction boxes, cable glands, and connectors. Power cables of varying specifications require a variety of connection methods. Most LED lighting installations require the tedious on-site work of professional installers. Poor connections can pose a safety hazard.

[0004] Connecting the lamp to the power supply via a connector provides better protection for wires and cables and simplifies the assembly and replacement of electronic products. However, due to the wide variety of connector manufacturers and models, LED driver output connectors often cannot be directly matched, forcing installers to add additional wiring and accessories to make electrical connections outside the driver. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide an LED driver with a quick-connect mechanism to address the problem in which existing LED drivers cannot directly interface with specific connectors from German lighting companies such as Wieland and Adels Contact. This problem not only requires additional wiring and accessories for LED lamp installers to electrically connect the LED driver to an external power source, but also can lead to unstable and unreliable connections, poor corrosion and oxidation resistance, and even ineffective electrical insulation.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned and other related purposes, the present invention provides an LED driver with a quick-plug structure, comprising: a switching plug, a switching socket, a driver box and a lamp connecting line connected in sequence,

[0007] The adapter socket comprises a socket body and an electrode plug, wherein the socket body is provided with a plurality of socket plugs, one end of each socket plug is provided with the straight-edge bayonet, and the electrode plug is provided inside the socket plug;

[0008] The drive box includes a drive box body and a drive box cover, a wire tail installation groove is provided on one side of the drive box body, and a fixing groove is provided on the other side of the drive box body corresponding to the straight-edge bayonet, the straight-edge bayonet is located inside the drive box, and the socket insert extends from the fixing groove to the outside of the drive box;

[0009] The adapter plug includes a plug body and an electrode plug. The plug body is provided with a plurality of adapter sockets. The electrode plugs are provided in the adapter sockets. The socket inserts extend into the adapter sockets. The electrode inserts contact the electrode plugs.

[0010] The lamp connecting line includes a lamp plug connector, a cable and a wire end buckle connected in sequence, and the drive box is connected to the lamp connecting line through the wire end mounting groove and the wire end buckle.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, two socket plugs are provided, and two adapter jacks are provided, one end of the adapter jack matches the adapter socket, and the other end of the adapter jack matches the GST18i3 connector.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, four socket plugs are provided, and four adapter jacks are provided. One end of the adapter jack matches the adapter socket, and the other end of the adapter jack matches the GST18i5 connector.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, an elastic bending structure is provided at the end of the electrode insert away from the driving box.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, a socket buckle is provided on the socket body, and a socket lock hole is provided on the adapter plug corresponding to the socket buckle.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, a positioning buckle is provided on the inner side wall of the drive box body.

[0016] As an optimal technical solution, the plug body is composed of a detachable upper plug and a lower plug, a lip structure is provided in the adapter socket, the electrode plug is provided with a flat cutout near the adapter socket end, and a positioning bayonet is provided in the middle position of the electrode plug for the lip structure. The electrode plug is connected to the plug body through the positioning bayonet and the lip structure.

[0017] As described above, the present invention provides an LED driver with a quick-plug structure, which has the following beneficial effects: by providing an adapter plug, one end of which is connected to the GST18 series connector of Wieland Company, and the other end of which is connected to the adapter socket, a quick-plug structure between the LED driver and the specific connector is realized, which has a reasonable design and is suitable for production and promotion and application.
