Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor lighting technology, and particularly relates to a method for producing a bendable and shaped light strip and the bendable and shaped light strip itself. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible LED strips are LED light strips that can be bent and formed into various shapes, suitable for various decorative and lighting applications. Among flexible LED strips, there is a type that can be bent and shaped. This type mainly consists of an adhesive strip, a light panel, and a lens. The lens is mounted on the light panel, which is then assembled onto the adhesive strip. Currently, the production of this type of LED strip mainly involves the following steps: drilling holes in the adhesive strip, installing the lens, bending and inserting the light panel, and wrapping and shaping the light panel. The drilling step involves preparing an adhesive strip and creating multiple holes spaced apart on it. The lens installation step involves preparing a light panel with LEDs spaced apart, and installing a lens on each LED to form a light panel with multiple lighting units. The bending and inserting step involves inserting the multiple lighting units one by one into the holes on the adhesive strip, thus bending and embedding the light panel onto the adhesive strip. The wrapping and shaping step involves wrapping and shaping the bent light panel on the adhesive strip to obtain the flexible and shaped LED strip. Due to the flexibility of the rubber strip and the light panel, when making bendable light strips, it is necessary to manually insert the lighting units one by one into the multiple holes on the rubber strip. The production process is complicated, requires a lot of labor costs, and has low production efficiency.

[0003] In summary, the existing production process for flexible and shapeable LED strips suffers from technical problems such as complex production processes, high costs, and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least partially address the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for producing flexible and shaped light strips, as well as a flexible and shaped light strip, so as to simplify the production process of flexible and shaped light strips, reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for producing a flexible and shapeable LED strip, comprising the following steps:

[0006] The flexible lamp panel is pressed by bending mold to form a wave-shaped lamp panel with lamp bead protrusions and lamp bead side grooves arranged at intervals and attached to the bending mold.

[0007] A straight plate bracket is prepared, and spaced movable limiting grooves and lamp bead protrusion support parts are formed on the straight plate bracket. The width of the movable limiting groove matches the protrusion width of the back protrusion of the side groove of the lamp bead, and the width of the lamp bead protrusion support part matches the groove width of the back groove of the lamp bead protrusion.

[0008] The wavy light plate attached to the bending mold is assembled onto the straight plate bracket, so that the back groove of the lamp bead protrusion is fastened and glued to the lamp bead protrusion support part, and the back protrusion of the side groove of the lamp bead is embedded into the movable limiting groove to shape the wavy light plate.

[0009] After the wavy light panel is shaped, the bending mold is removed to generate the bendable light strip.

[0010] Furthermore, the production method of flexible and shaped light strips also includes:

[0011] An elastic lampshade with at least one transparent side is extruded and molded, such that the interior of the elastic lampshade has a mounting cavity, and the mounting cavity extends through the interior of the elastic lampshade along the long axis of the elastic lampshade.

[0012] The generated flexible and shaped light strip is inserted into the mounting cavity to fix the flexible and shaped light strip in the mounting cavity, and the LED beads of the protruding part of the light beads face the transparent side.

[0013] Furthermore, the step of pressing the flexible lamp panel with a bending mold to form a wavy lamp panel including lamp bead protrusions and lamp bead side grooves arranged at intervals, and attaching it to the bending mold, includes:

[0014] By pressing down the side of the flexible light panel where the lamp beads are located using a bending mold, a wave-shaped light panel consisting of lamp bead protrusions and lamp bead side grooves arranged at intervals is formed and attached to the bending mold.

[0015] Furthermore, the step of pressing down the flexible lamp panel on the side where the lamp beads are located using a bending mold to form a wavy lamp panel with alternating protrusions and grooves on the side of the lamp beads attached to the bending mold includes:

[0016] By pressing down the flexible light panel between two pairs of LED beads on the side where the LED beads are located using a bending mold, grooves are formed on the side of the LED beads, creating protrusions at the LED bead locations. The protrusions and the grooves on the side of the LED beads are arranged alternately, allowing the flexible light panel to form a wavy shape and attach to the bending mold.

[0017] Furthermore, the position between each pair of LED beads on the side where the LED beads are pressed down by the bending mold is: the position between each pair of adjacent LED beads on the side where the LED beads are pressed down by the bending mold.

[0018] Furthermore, before the flexible lamp panel is pressed by bending mold to form a wavy lamp panel including lamp bead protrusions and lamp bead side grooves arranged at intervals and attached to the bending mold, the following steps are included:

[0019] An adhesive layer is provided on the back of the flexible light panel. The adhesive layer includes a protected adhesive surface and a protective surface. The protective surface covers and protects the protected adhesive surface. After the protective surface is removed, the protected adhesive surface is exposed.

[0020] Furthermore, the adhesive layer is double-sided adhesive.

[0021] Furthermore, the step of assembling the wavy lamp plate attached to the bending mold onto the straight plate bracket, so that the back groove of the lamp bead protrusion aligns with the lamp bead protrusion support portion for fastening and bonding, includes:

[0022] Remove the protective surface to expose the protected adhesive surface;

[0023] The wavy lamp plate, which is attached to the bending mold and has the exposed protected adhesive surface, is assembled onto the straight plate bracket, so that the protected adhesive surface exposed at the back groove of the lamp bead protrusion is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support.

[0024] Furthermore, the groove on the side of the lamp bead is an arched groove.

[0025] Secondly, the present invention provides a bendable and shaped light strip, which is produced by any of the production methods described above.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] The present invention proposes a method for producing a bendable and shaped light strip, and the bendable and shaped light strip itself. A flexible light panel is pressed using a bending mold to form a wavy light panel comprising alternating protrusions and side grooves of LED beads. This wavy light panel is then attached to the bending mold. A straight support is prepared, and spaced-apart movable limiting grooves and LED bead protrusion support portions are formed on the straight support. The width of the movable limiting groove matches the width of the back protrusion of the side groove of the LED bead, and the width of the LED bead protrusion support portion matches the width of the back groove of the LED bead protrusion. The wavy light panel attached to the bending mold is then assembled onto the straight support, with the back groove of the LED bead protrusion corresponding to the LED bead protrusion support portion for fastening and bonding. The back protrusion of the side groove of the LED bead is embedded into the movable limiting groove to shape the wavy light panel. After the wavy light panel is shaped, the bending mold is removed to produce the bendable and shaped light strip.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar methods or methods having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0041] Please see Figure 1-6 This embodiment proposes a method for producing a bendable LED strip, including steps S101, S102, S103, and S104. A flexible LED panel 1 is pressed using a bending mold to form a wavy LED panel with spaced LED bead protrusions 100 and LED bead side grooves 101 attached to the bending mold. A straight support 2 is then prepared, and spaced movable limiting grooves 20 and LED bead protrusion support portions 21 are formed on the straight support 2. The width of the movable limiting grooves 20 matches the protrusion width of the back protrusion 110 of the LED bead side groove 101. The width of part 21 matches the groove width of the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100. The wavy lamp plate attached to the bending mold is assembled onto the straight plate bracket 2, so that the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100 is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support part 21. The back protrusion 110 of the side groove 101 of the lamp bead is embedded into the movable limiting groove 20 to shape the wavy lamp plate. After the wavy lamp plate is shaped, the bending mold is removed to generate the bendable and shaped lamp strip, thereby simplifying the production process of the bendable and shaped lamp strip, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0042] Step S101: The flexible lamp plate 1 is pushed and pressed by the bending mold to form a wave-shaped lamp plate including lamp bead protrusions 100 and lamp bead side grooves 101 arranged at intervals, and attached to the bending mold.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, the flexible light panel 1 is pressed by a bending mold to form a wavy light panel including lamp bead protrusions 100 and lamp bead side grooves 101 arranged at intervals, which is then attached to the bending mold. This may include pressing down the lamp bead side 10 of the flexible light panel 1 with the bending mold to form a wavy light panel including lamp bead protrusions 100 and lamp bead side grooves 101 arranged at intervals, which is then attached to the bending mold. Furthermore, by pressing down the lamp bead side 10 of the flexible lamp panel 1 with a bending mold to form a wavy lamp panel including lamp bead protrusions 100 and lamp bead side grooves 101 arranged at intervals, the flexible lamp panel 1 is attached to the bending mold. This can include pressing down the position between pairs of lamp beads on the lamp bead side 10 of the flexible lamp panel 1 with the bending mold to form lamp bead side grooves 101, thus forming lamp bead protrusions 100 at the lamp bead positions. The lamp bead protrusions 100 and the lamp bead side grooves 101 are arranged at intervals, allowing the flexible lamp panel 1 to form a wavy lamp panel attached to the bending mold. Furthermore, pressing down the position between pairs of lamp beads on the lamp bead side 10 of the flexible lamp panel 1 with the bending mold can also be pressing down the position between two adjacent lamp beads on the lamp bead side 10 of the flexible lamp panel 1.

[0044] It should be noted that the above embodiments propose some preferred methods for forming the wavy light panel. These methods mainly involve contacting and pressing the flexible light panel 1 from the side 10 where the lamp beads are located. In specific processes, this can be downward pressing, and there can be multiple points where the bending mold contacts and presses the flexible light panel 1. This allows the flexible light panel 1 of the required length to be pressed in one go, as needed. During the pressing process, the points where the bending mold contacts and presses the flexible light panel 1 can be set as protruding structures. When the protruding structure presses down on the flexible light panel 1, the position of the flexible light panel 1 in contact with the protruding structure will be recessed to form a groove 101 on the side of the lamp bead. The groove 101 on the side of the LED bead refers to a groove structure that recesses under pressure. In a subsequent step, after its back protrusion 110 is embedded into the movable limiting groove 20 of the straight plate bracket 2, the recessed groove structure is held in place within the movable limiting groove 20. Simultaneously, when pulled by external force, the recessed groove structure can deform to a certain extent within the movable limiting groove 20, thus counteracting the external force and ensuring that the flexible LED panel 1 is stably positioned within the straight plate bracket 2. Preferably, the groove 101 on the side of the LED bead can be an arched groove.

[0045] It should also be noted that by pressing down on the side 10 where the LED beads are located using the bending mold, it is easier to avoid pressing down on the location of the LED beads. This results in a wave-shaped LED board with alternating LED bead protrusions 100 and LED bead side grooves 101 attached to the bending mold, which helps improve production efficiency, reduces misoperation, and protects the LED beads. In addition, the back side 11 of the flexible LED board is convenient for adhesive bonding, which allows for the selection of the adhesive layer to be placed on the back side 11 of the flexible LED board.

[0046] It should also be noted that when the bending mold presses down on the side 10 where the LED beads are located on the flexible LED panel 1, each pressing part of the bending mold can be aligned with the position between two pairs of LED beads. In this embodiment, the position between two pairs of LED beads is preferably the position between two adjacent LED beads.

[0047] Step S102: Prepare a straight plate bracket 2, and form spaced movable limiting grooves 20 and lamp bead protrusion support parts 21 on the straight plate bracket 2. The width of the movable limiting grooves 20 matches the protrusion width of the back protrusion 110 of the lamp bead side groove 101, and the width of the lamp bead protrusion support parts 21 matches the groove width of the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100.

[0048] It should be noted that the straight bracket 2 is used to support and fix the wavy light panel. Since the LED bead protrusions 100 and LED bead side grooves 101 of the wavy light panel are arranged alternately, the straight bracket 2 is equipped with movable limiting grooves 20 and LED bead protrusion support parts 21 arranged alternately. The width of the movable limiting groove 20 matches the protrusion width of the back protrusion 110 of the LED bead side groove 101, and the width of the LED bead protrusion support part 21 matches the groove width of the back groove 111 of the LED bead protrusion 100. This allows the straight bracket 2 and the wavy light panel to be fitted and connected, thus supporting and fixing the wavy light panel.

[0049] Understandably, in existing technologies, the production of wavy LED strips mainly involves three steps: drilling holes in the adhesive strip, installing lenses, bending and embedding the LED panel, and coating and shaping the LED panel. The drilling step involves preparing an adhesive strip and creating multiple holes spaced apart on it. The lens installation step involves preparing an LED panel with spaced LED beads and installing lenses on each bead, forming an LED panel with multiple lighting units. The bending and embedding step involves inserting the multiple lighting units one by one into the holes in the adhesive strip, thus bending and embedding the LED panel onto the adhesive strip. The coating and shaping step involves coating and shaping the bent LED panel on the adhesive strip to obtain a bendable LED strip. Due to the flexibility of the adhesive strip and the LED panel, the production of bendable LED strips requires manual insertion of each lighting unit into the holes in the adhesive strip, making the process complex, labor-intensive, and inefficient. In contrast, in this embodiment, the wave-shaped light panel is formed in one step by bending mold, and the connection with the straight plate bracket 2 can also be achieved by inserting it into the corresponding position in one step. For example, the back protrusion 110 of the side groove 101 of the lamp bead is inserted into the movable limiting groove 20, and the lamp bead protrusion support 21 is inserted into the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100.

[0050] Step S103: Assemble the wave-shaped lamp plate attached to the bending mold onto the straight plate bracket 2, so that the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100 is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support 21, and the back protrusion 110 of the side groove 101 of the lamp bead is embedded into the movable limiting groove 20 to shape the wave-shaped lamp plate.

[0051] It should be noted that by assembling the wavy light panel attached to the bending mold onto the straight plate bracket 2, the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100 is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support 21, and the back protrusion 110 of the side groove 101 of the lamp bead is embedded into the movable limiting groove 20. This allows the wavy light panel to be shaped in one go. Compared with the prior art, this eliminates the need for drilling holes in the adhesive strip and the need for inserting the lighting units one by one into the multiple holes on the adhesive strip, which are complex processes. This greatly reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency.

[0052] In some preferred embodiments, before attaching the flexible light panel 1, which is formed by pressing the flexible light panel 1 with a bending mold to create a wavy light panel including LED bead protrusions 100 and LED bead side grooves 101 spaced apart, to the bending mold, the process may include: providing an adhesive layer on the back side 11 of the flexible light panel. The adhesive layer includes a protected adhesive surface and a protective surface, with the protective surface covering and protecting the protected adhesive surface. After the protective surface is removed, the protected adhesive surface is exposed. Further, the adhesive layer is double-sided adhesive.

[0053] It should be noted that when assembling the wavy lamp plate attached to the bending mold onto the straight plate bracket 2, so that the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100 is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support 21, the following steps may be included: removing the protective surface to expose the protected bonding surface; assembling the wavy lamp plate attached to the bending mold with the exposed protected bonding surface onto the straight plate bracket 2, so that the protected bonding surface exposed at the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100 is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support 21.

[0054] In some alternative embodiments, a straight bracket 2 is fabricated, on which spaced-apart movable limiting grooves 20 and lamp bead protrusion support portions 21 are formed. The width of the movable limiting grooves 20 matches the protrusion width of the back protrusion 110 of the lamp bead side groove 101, and the width of the lamp bead protrusion support portion 21 matches the groove width of the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100. This can include:

[0055] An adhesive substance is applied to the straight bracket 2 to make the lamp bead protrusion support 21 adhesive; when the wave-shaped lamp plate attached to the bending mold is assembled onto the straight bracket 2, the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100 is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support 21, and the back protrusion 110 of the lamp bead side groove 101 is embedded into the movable limiting groove 20 to shape the wave-shaped lamp plate.

[0056] It should be noted that applying an adhesive substance to the straight bracket 2 makes the LED bead protrusion support 21 adhesive, which is convenient and efficient, thereby improving the efficiency of shaping the wavy LED panel.

[0057] Step S104: After the wavy light panel is shaped, the bending mold is removed to generate the bendable light strip.

[0058] It should be noted that before the wavy light panel is shaped, it is fitted onto a bending mold. The rigidity of the bending mold keeps the shape unchanged after bending. The wavy light panel attached to the bending mold is then assembled onto the straight bracket 2, so that the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100 is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support 21, and the back protrusion 110 of the side groove 101 of the lamp bead is embedded into the movable limiting groove 20, thereby completing the shaping of the wavy light panel. After removing the bending mold, a bendable and shaped light strip can be obtained.

[0059] In further embodiments, the method for producing the bendable LED strip may further include:

[0060] An elastic lampshade 3 with at least one transparent side 30 is extruded and formed, such that the interior of the elastic lampshade 3 has a mounting cavity 33, and the mounting cavity 33 extends through the interior of the elastic lampshade 3 along the long axis direction 31.

[0061] The generated flexible and shaped light strip is inserted into the mounting cavity to fix the flexible and shaped light strip in the mounting cavity, and the LED beads of the lamp bead protrusion 100 are oriented toward the transparent side 30.

[0062] It should be noted that the interior of the elastic lampshade 3 has an installation cavity. After the generated flexible and shaped light strip is inserted into the installation cavity, the flexible and shaped light strip is fixed in the installation cavity, and the LED beads of the lamp bead protrusion 100 face the transparent side 30. This not only enables the flexible and shaped light strip to be filtered, but also further supports and protects the flexible and shaped light strip. Example 2

[0063] Please see Figure 1-6 This embodiment proposes a bendable and shaped light strip, which is produced by the production method described in any of the above embodiments. A flexible light panel 1 is pressed by a bending mold to form a wavy light panel including LED bead protrusions 100 and LED bead side grooves 101 arranged at intervals. The light panel is then attached to the bending mold. A straight plate bracket 2 is prepared, and spaced movable limiting grooves 20 and LED bead protrusion support portions 21 are formed on the straight plate bracket 2. The width of the movable limiting grooves 20 matches the protrusion width of the back protrusion 110 of the LED bead side groove 101. The LED bead protrusion support portions 21... The width matches the groove width of the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100. The wavy lamp plate attached to the bending mold is assembled onto the straight plate bracket 2, so that the back groove 111 of the lamp bead protrusion 100 is fastened and bonded to the lamp bead protrusion support 21. The back protrusion 110 of the side groove 101 of the lamp bead is embedded into the movable limiting groove 20 to shape the wavy lamp plate. After the wavy lamp plate is shaped, the bending mold is removed to generate the bendable and shaped lamp strip, thereby simplifying the production process of the bendable and shaped lamp strip, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0064] The above is a description of the technical solution provided by the present invention. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
