Detailed Implementation

[0051] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention.

[0052] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0053] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1-15 One embodiment of the present invention provides a strawberry lamp head structure 100 that can be automatically produced. The strawberry lamp head structure 100 includes: a bulb shell 10, a lamp head 20, a lamp head cover 30, and an LED bead 40.

[0055] The lamp holder 20 is connected to the bulb shell 10, and the lamp holder cover 30 is inserted into the lamp holder 20. Wires 50 are connected in series at both ends of the lamp bead 40. The lamp bead 40 is positioned between the lamp holder 20 and the lamp holder cover 30. The wires 50 extend through the gap into the strawberry lamp holder structure 100. The direction in which the lamp holder cover 30 is inserted into the lamp holder 20 is denoted as the first direction F1, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction F1 is denoted as the second direction F2. Observing along the second direction F2, the lamp holder cover 30 is recessed inward to form a first clamping part 31, and the lamp holder 20 is recessed inward to form a second clamping part 21 located on the same side as the first clamping part 31. During automated production, a robotic arm can fix the lamp holder cover 30 and the lamp holder 20 respectively through the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 21, facilitating automated assembly line operations. A first gap 61 is formed between the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 21, through which the power supply line 50 passes. This allows the LED bead 40 to be soldered to the wire 50 during production, and the wire 50, which integrates the LED bead 40, to be used as a whole in the assembly of the lamp holder 20 and the lamp holder cover 30. During assembly, the LED bead 40 is placed between the lamp holder 20 and the lamp holder cover 30, and the LED bead 40 is directly pushed into the space between the two by the insertion of the lamp holder 20 and the lamp holder cover 30. At the same time, the wires 50 at both ends of the LED bead 40 extend out of the lamp holder 20 and the lamp holder cover 30 through the first gap 61, so that the LED bead 40 does not need to be assembled with the lamp holder 20 and the lamp holder cover 30 first, and then the wire 50 is manually soldered, or the wire 50 does not need to be assembled with the lamp holder 20 and the lamp holder cover 30 first, and then the LED bead 40 is manually installed. This makes the assembly process simpler and more convenient for automated assembly line operations.

[0056] More preferably, the directions perpendicular to the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are respectively denoted as the third direction F3; when viewed along the second direction F2, the lamp head cover 30 extends outward along the third direction F3 to form a reverse limiting block 32, and the lamp head 20 extends inward along the third direction F3 to form a reverse limiting step 22 that cooperates with the reverse limiting block 32; when the lamp head cover 30 is inserted into the lamp head 20 along the first direction F1, the reverse limiting step 22 abuts against the reverse limiting step 22 along the first direction F1.

[0057] In one embodiment, to further facilitate the robotic arm's gripping of the lamp head cover 30 and the lamp head 20, the lamp head cover 30 includes: a cover plate 33 and a hanging lug 34. The lamp head 20 includes: an upper housing 23.

[0058] The first clamping part 31 is formed on the cover plate 33. The first clamping part 31 extends inward from the outer periphery of the cover plate 33 to form a plane, and the first clamping part 31 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cover plate 33. During automated production, the robot arm grabs the lamp cover 30 by clamping the first clamping part 31 on both sides of the cover plate 33.

[0059] The hanging ear 34 is integrally formed with the cover plate 33, and the hanging ear 34 is used to hang the light string. In this embodiment, the number of first clamping parts 31 is two, such as... Figure 3 As shown, two first clamping parts 31 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cover plate 33, and the hanging ear 34 is arranged between the two first clamping parts 31, so that when the robot arm grabs the lamp cover 30 through the first clamping part 31, it can avoid the hanging ear 34.

[0060] The second clamping portion 21 is formed on the upper housing 23. The second clamping portion 21 extends inward from the outer periphery of the upper housing 23 to form a plane, and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper housing 23. During automated production, a robotic arm grips the lamp head 20 by clamping the second clamping portions 21 on both sides of the upper housing 23. In this embodiment, the plane formed by the first clamping portion 31 and the plane formed by the second clamping portion 21 are coplanar to facilitate positioning of the lamp head 20 when it is inserted into the lamp head cover 30.

[0061] In one embodiment, the lamp holder 20 further includes a lower housing 24. The bulb shell 10 includes a strawberry shell portion 11 and a threaded connection portion 12.

[0062] Among them, strawberry refers to... Figures 1-15 The strawberry shape is shown. The lower housing 24 is integrally formed with the upper housing 23. An internal thread 25 is formed in the lower housing 24, and the lower housing 24 is threadedly connected to the bulb 10 through the internal thread 25. A threaded connection part 12 is integrally formed on the strawberry housing part 11 near the lamp holder 20, and an external thread 121 is formed on the threaded connection part 12. The external thread 121 mates with the internal thread 25 of the lower housing 24 to connect the lower housing 24 and the bulb 10. The bulb 10 and the lamp holder 20 are respectively made of plastic injection molding. Since plastic has a certain elasticity, in the automated production process, the lower housing 24 can be directly squeezed into the bulb 10 by pressing, which improves production efficiency.

[0063] In one embodiment, to facilitate automated production, the lamp cap 30 further includes: a first support plate 35, a second support plate 36, and a mounting part 37.

[0064] The first support plate 35 extends from the cover plate 33 towards the lamp holder 20. A second support plate 36 is positioned opposite the first support plate 35, with a second gap 62 spaced between them. The first gap 61 is connected to the second gap 62. During automated production, excess wire 50 can be accommodated within the second gap 62, thereby reducing the precision requirements for the length of the wire 50 between the two lamp beads 40 during production and improving the tolerance for errors.

[0065] The mounting part 37 is integrally formed between the first support plate 35 and the second support plate 36. The lamp bead 40 is disposed on the side of the mounting part 37 near the lamp head 20. When the lamp head 20 is inserted into the lamp head cover 30, the space on the side of the mounting part 37 near the lamp head 20 remains connected to the second gap 62. The wire 50 extends to the outside of the strawberry lamp head structure 100 through the second gap 62 and the first gap 61. During automated production, the lamp head 20 is inserted into the lamp head cover 30. The robot arm grasps the lamp head cover 30 and moves it towards the lamp head 20. The lamp bead 40 is located between the lamp head cover 30 and the lamp head 20. The mounting part 37 pushes the lamp bead 40 into the lamp head 20. The wires 50 at both ends of the lamp bead 40 bypass the mounting part 37 and extend to the outside of the lamp head 20 through the second gap 62 and the first gap 61.

[0066] In one embodiment, the upper housing 23 includes a first guide portion 231 and a second guide portion 232.

[0067] The first guide portion 231 extends from the upper housing 23, and the second guide portion 232 is positioned opposite to the first guide portion 231. A third gap 63 is provided between the first guide portion 231 and the second guide portion 232. The first support plate 35 and the second support plate 36 are inserted into the third gap 63 along the first direction F1. The reverse limiting blocks 32 are respectively disposed on the side of the first support plate 35 away from the second support plate 36 and on the side of the second support plate 36 away from the first support plate 35. The middle portion of the first guide portion 231 is recessed outward to form a first guide groove 2311, and the middle portion of the second guide portion 232 is recessed outward to form a second guide groove 2321. The reverse limiting steps 22 are respectively disposed in the first guide groove 2311 and the second guide groove 2321. During automated production, when the robotic arm picks up either the lamp head 20 or the lamp head cover 30 and inserts it into the other, the lamp head cover 30 slides into the second gap 62 through the first guide groove 2311 and the second guide groove 2321. The reverse limiting block 32 squeezes past the reverse limiting step 22 and abuts against it in the opposite direction, thereby achieving reverse limiting and preventing the lamp head cover 30 from separating from the lamp head 20 in the opposite direction, thus fixing the lamp head 20 and the lamp head cover 30.

[0068] One embodiment of the present invention also provides a strawberry string light 200, see [link / reference]. Figure 15 The strawberry light string 200 includes the aforementioned automatically producible strawberry light head structure 100.

[0069] An embodiment of the present invention also provides an automated production method for a strawberry light string 200, used to produce the strawberry light string 200, the method comprising the following steps:

[0070] Step S10: Fix the lamp head cover 30 to the first position D1 using the first clamping part 31.

[0071] Step S20: Fix the lamp head 20 to the second position D2 by the second clamping part 21. The first position D1 and the second position D2 are collinear in the first direction F1.

[0072] Step S30: Arrange the wires 50 with the LED beads 40 connected in series between the lamp head cover 30 and the lamp head 20 along the second direction F2, and each LED bead 40 is collinear with each lamp head 20 and each lamp head cover 30 in the first direction F1.

[0073] To prevent the wire 50 between the two LED beads 40 from being too short, which could cause it to break after the LED beads 40 are pressed into the lamp holder 20, the length of the wire 50 needs to be adjusted appropriately. Let L be the distance between two adjacent LED beads 40, T be the length of the wire 50 between two adjacent LED beads 40, and H be the height of the lamp holder cover 30. The following relationship is satisfied:

[0074] L+2H<T.

[0075] This prevents the wire 50 between the two LED beads 40 from being too short and breaking when the lamp holder 20 is inserted into the lamp holder cover 30. The excess length of the wire 50 can be accommodated within the second gap 62, reducing the requirements for production precision and improving efficiency.

[0076] Step S40: Push the lamp head cover 30 to insert into the lamp head 20 along the first direction F1. During the insertion process, the lamp head cover 30 first contacts the lamp bead 40 and drives the lamp bead 40 to squeeze into the lamp head 20 along the first direction F1. The wire 50 extends to the outside of the lamp head 20 through the first gap 61.

[0077] Step S50: Connect the bulb 10 to the lamp holder 20.

[0078] Therefore, by disassembling the traditional assembly of lamp holder 20 and lamp bead 40 into the assembly of lamp holder 20, lamp holder cover 30, and lamp bead 40, and by setting a first clamping part 31 and a second clamping part 21 on lamp holder cover 30 and lamp holder 20 respectively, it is possible for a robot arm to grasp or fix them. The lamp bead 40 is placed between lamp holder cover 30 and lamp holder 20, and a first gap 61 is set between the first clamping part 31 of lamp holder cover 30 and the second clamping part 21 of lamp holder 20 to allow the wire 50 to pass through. Thus, the lamp holder cover 30 and lamp holder 20 can be directly connected, and the assembly of lamp holder 20, lamp holder cover 30, and lamp bead 40 can be completed at the same time, making the installation operation simpler and more convenient for automated production.

[0079] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
