Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of light tube display technology, and in particular to a placement box for displaying LED light tubes. Background Technology

[0002] The term "lamp tube" usually refers to a straight fluorescent lamp. However, due to the specific nature of the term, it now refers to lamps with a long tube shape. With the development of lighting fixtures, many lighting manufacturers participate in lighting exhibitions to showcase their products.

[0003] Currently, at exhibitions or in stores, light tubes are simply displayed in glass cases or on shelves. This is too ordinary a display, and it is quite troublesome to put each light tube into a paper box afterward. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a display box for LED tubes in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. This solves the problem that currently, at exhibitions or in stores, LED tubes are displayed directly on glass cabinets or shelves, which is too ordinary for displaying LED tubes. Afterwards, it is more troublesome to store the LED tubes one by one in paper packaging boxes. The sodium sulfate pellet embedding method is prone to carrier rupture and cell leakage during catalytic reaction.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a display box for LED tubes, comprising a box body, the box body including an upper base and a lower base, three fixed sides and one movable side installed between the upper base and the lower base, the fixed sides and the movable side being transparent glass, a slot being formed on the side of the upper base facing the lower base, a top plate being movably installed inside the slot, and a receiving groove being formed on the side of the lower base facing the upper base, a bottom plate being movably installed inside the receiving groove.

[0006] Both the top plate and the bottom plate are fixedly connected to the movable side. When the movable side is pulled, the top plate and the bottom plate are pulled out from the slot and the receiving slot respectively. There are lamp holders on the opposite sides of the top plate and the bottom plate, and the upper and lower lamp holders hold the lamps.

[0007] Preferably, the upper seat facing the lower seat is provided with three receiving cavities. The receiving cavities surround the periphery of the slot. Three rollers corresponding to the three fixed sides are installed in the receiving cavities. The three rollers are located above the three fixed sides. The mounting points between the three rollers and the upper seat are all supported and connected by bearings. A roller shutter is wound on the rollers. The two sides of the top plate are parallel to two of the rollers.

[0008] Preferably, a bevel gear is installed at one end of the two parallel spools facing the inlet and outlet of the slot, and toothed plates are installed on both sides of the top plate.

[0009] Gear 1 and Gear 2 are installed at one end of each of the two parallel and opposite receiving cavities facing the inlet and outlet of the slot. One of the outer tangent points of Gear 1 protrudes from the slot.

[0010] The toothed plate is meshed with gear one, gear one is meshed with gear two, and gear two is meshed with bevel gear one.

[0011] Preferably, one of the two parallel spools is also equipped with a bevel gear one at the other end, and a bevel gear two is installed on the spool perpendicular to the two parallel spools, which meshes with the bevel gear one.

[0012] Preferably, limit strips are installed on both sides of the top plate and at the end away from the gear.

[0013] Preferably, a friction plate is mounted on the shaft pin of the first gear, and the friction plate is in movable contact with the inner wall of the receiving cavity.

[0014] Preferably, the lower seat is provided with a power supply box, which is located on one side of the lamp holder.

[0015] Preferably, the lamp holder includes an upper plate and a lower plate, which are connected by a pivot. The upper plate has two metal contacts in the middle of its upper surface, both of which are electrically connected to the power supply in the power box. A U-shaped clamping strip is also installed on the upper end of the upper plate.

[0016] Preferably, a rebounder is installed inside the upper and lower seats at the end facing the movable side.

[0017] Preferably, both the fixed edge and the movable edge are double-layered hollow structures.

[0018] Preferably, a plurality of reflective strips are movably installed between the top plate and the bottom plate. Each reflective strip has only one reflective surface. A cavity is formed in the Z-axis upward inside the top plate on the side opposite to the slot. The bottom of each reflective strip is connected to the bottom plate by a pin. A connecting rod is installed at the top of each reflective strip. The connecting rod passes through the cavity and a gear three is fixedly sleeved at the top of each connecting rod. A slide is installed in the Z-axis upward inside the cavity. A toothed plate slides in the slide. A plurality of gear threes mesh with the toothed plate. Both ends of the toothed plate are connected to cables. Two cables extend from both ends of the cavity. The extended ends of the two cables are wound around the pins of two gears one at the same height.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] 1. The present invention consists of an upper base, a lower base, three fixed sides and one movable side forming a transparent packaging box. A light tube can be clamped inside the packaging box. The clamping part of the light tube can be pulled out along with the movable side through a deceleration component, so that the packaging box can independently display the light tube and also achieve a storage function. Exhibitors can also pull the light tube out of the packaging box and take it off for closer inspection.

[0021] 2. This invention utilizes a deceleration assembly, composed of friction plates, gear one, gear two, more friction plates, and multiple bevel gears. When the clamping component, along with its movable side, is pulled out, the deceleration assembly is triggered, reducing the speed at which the clamping component, along with its movable side, is pulled out. This allows the lamp tube to be slowly and evenly extracted from the packaging box, preventing damage from vibration caused by rapid pulling.

[0022] In addition, it can limit the range of motion of the clamping parts along with the movable side, preventing the clamping parts along with the movable side from being completely pulled out of the packaging box.

[0023] 3. The present invention uses a deceleration component. When the clamping component can be pulled out along with the movable side, the deceleration component is triggered. While providing deceleration, the deceleration component unwinds or rewinds the roller shutter inside the packaging box. When the light tube is removed from the packaging box, the other three sides of the packaging box are blocked by the roller shutter, making the inside of the packaging box dim. The light from the light tube shines into the packaging box, and the viewer can see the lighting effect inside the packaging box, simulating the lighting effect of the light tube in a dim environment.

[0024] 4. This invention, through a reflective structure and a deceleration component, allows for the simultaneous retraction and extension of two cables. By using the retraction and extension of the two cables to move the toothed plate, several reflective strips are connected end to end, and the reflective surfaces of the reflective strips face the lamp tube. This allows the light emitted by the lamp tube to be directed into the box, thus ensuring that most of the light from the lamp tube illuminates the box. This better simulates the scene of the lamp tube in a dim environment and more intuitively demonstrates the lighting effect of the lamp tube. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-7In specific implementation: A display box for LED tubes includes a box body, which includes an upper seat 3 and a lower seat 1. Three fixed edges 2 and one movable edge 6 are installed between the upper seat 3 and the lower seat 1. The fixed edges 2 and the movable edge 6 are both transparent glass. A slot 10 is opened on the side of the upper seat 3 facing the lower seat 1. A top plate 11 is movably installed inside the slot 10. A receiving groove 7 is provided on the side of the lower seat 1 facing the upper seat 3. A bottom plate 8 is movably installed inside the receiving groove 7. The top plate 11 and the bottom plate 8 are both fixedly connected to the movable edge 6. When the movable edge 6 is pulled, the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 8 are pulled out from the slot 10 and the receiving groove 7 respectively. There are tube clamping seats 4 on each pair of opposite sides of the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 8. The upper and lower ends of the tubes are inserted into the upper and lower tube clamping seats 4 respectively, and the upper and lower tube clamping seats 4 hold the tubes 5.

[0038] Then push the top plate 11 and bottom plate 8 together with the movable side 6 into the packaging box. Since the fixed side 2 and the movable side 6 are both hollow double-layered glass, the light tube inside the packaging box can be viewed directly from the outside. When exhibitors or customers want to learn more about the light tube, they can pull out the top plate 11 and bottom plate 8 together with the movable side 6 and remove the light tube from the light tube holder 4.

[0039] The lamp holder 4 includes an upper plate 42 and a lower plate 41, which are connected by a pivot. The upper plate 42 has two metal contacts 43 in the middle of its upper surface. Both metal contacts 43 are electrically connected to the power supply in the power box 9. A U-shaped clamping strip 44 is also installed on the upper end of the upper plate 42. When the upper and lower ends of the lamp are inserted into the upper and lower lamp holders 4 respectively, the upper and lower electrodes of the lamp contact the metal contacts 43 and are energized, and the lamp emits light.

[0040] In addition, in order to ensure that the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 8 together with the movable edge 6 can be pulled out easily, a rebound device 22 is installed inside the upper seat 3 and the lower seat 1 at the end facing the movable edge 6. When the movable edge 6 is pushed, the rebound device 22 is triggered to pop the movable edge 6 out, and then the movable edge 6 is pulled. The rebound device 22 here is existing technology and is often used in wardrobes, so the structural principle of the rebound device 22 will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Please see Figure 2-7To ensure that exhibitors or customers can intuitively experience the lighting effect of the light tube, when the light tube 5 is pulled out of the packaging box, the light of the light tube 5 shines into the packaging box. Therefore, a roller shutter 16 is installed inside the packaging box for light blocking. Specifically, the side of the upper seat 3 facing the lower seat 1 is also provided with three receiving cavities. The receiving cavities surround the periphery of the slot 10. Three rollers 17 corresponding to the three fixed sides 2 are installed in the receiving cavities. The three rollers 17 are respectively located above the three fixed sides 2. The mounting points between the three rollers 17 and the upper seat 3 are all supported and connected by bearings 18. The roller shutter 16 is wound on the rollers 17. The two sides of the top plate 11 are parallel to two of the rollers 17.

[0042] Two parallel spools 17 are fitted with bevel gear 15 at one end facing the inlet / outlet direction of slot 10. Toothed plates 12 are fitted on both sides of the top plate 11. Gear 13 and gear 2 14 are fitted at one end of each of the two parallel, opposite receiving cavities facing the inlet / outlet direction of slot 10. One outer tangent point of gear 13 protrudes from slot 10. Toothed plates 12 mesh with gear 13, gear 13 meshes with gear 2 14, and gear 2 14 meshes with bevel gear 15. Bevel gear 15 is also fitted at the other end of one of the two parallel spools 17. Bevel gear 2 19 is fitted on a spool 17 perpendicular to the two parallel spools 17 and meshes with bevel gear 15.

[0043] When the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 8, along with the movable side 6, are pulled, the toothed plates 12 on the two sides of the top plate 11 drive the gear 13 to rotate, the gear 13 drives the gear 2 14 to rotate, and the gear 2 14 drives the bevel gear 15 to rotate. Then the roller 17 rolls the roller shutter 16 downwards, so that the roller shutter 16 blocks the external light. At this time, the light from the lamp tube 5 shines into the packaging box from one direction. Exhibitors or customers can distinguish the lighting effect by observing the light in the packaging box.

[0044] As shown in the figure, to ensure that most of the light emitted by the lamp tube 5 can enter the housing, a reflective structure is provided on one side of the lamp tube 5. Specifically, several reflective strips 23 are movably installed between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 8. Each reflective strip 23 has only one reflective surface. A cavity 24 is formed in the Z-axis upward inside the top plate 11 on the side opposite to the slot 10. The bottom of each reflective strip 23 is connected to the bottom plate 8 by a pin, and a connecting rod 25 is installed at the top of each reflective strip 23. The connecting rod 25 passes through the cavity 24, and a gear 26 is fixedly sleeved at the top of each connecting rod 25. A slide 27 is installed in the Z-axis upward inside the cavity 24, and a toothed plate 28 slides in the slide 27. Several gears 26 are connected to the toothed plate 28. The gears 28 are meshed, with cables 30 connected to both ends. Two cables 30 extend from both ends of the cavity 24. Guide rollers 29 are also installed at both ends of the cavity 24, providing steering assistance and support for the cables 30. The extended ends of the two cables 30 are wound around the pins of two gears 13 at the same height. When the movable edge 6 is not pulled from the box, the reflective strips 23 maintain a distance from each other, and each reflective strip 23 is perpendicular to the movable edge 6. However, when the movable edge 6 begins to pull away from the box, as the multiple gears 13 rotate, the two gears 13 at the same height rotate in different directions. That is, when the movable edge 6 is pulled, the two gears 13 at the same height... 3. One gear will begin to wind up cable 30, while the other will unwind cable 30. Since the two gears 13 have limited winding lengths for their respective cables 30, but the unwinding cable 30 is slightly longer than the winding cable 30, when the movable side 6 is about to reach its limit position, the wound cable 30 has been straightened, while the unwinding cable 30 is not yet fully straightened. During this process, the gear 28 will not move due to the action of the two cables 30, but will remain stationary. Then, one of the two gears 13 at the same height will stop winding up cable 30. As the movable side 6 continues to move towards its limit position, during this process, since the wound cable 30 has... When the winding reaches its limit, the pull cable 30 pulls the toothed plate 28, causing it to slide along the carriage 27. After sliding a certain distance, the movable edge 6 reaches its limit position, and the other pull cable 30 stops unwinding. The sliding distance of the toothed plate 28 drives all the gears 26 to rotate 90°, and the reflective strips 23 also rotate 90°. At this time, the reflective strips 23 are connected end to end, forming a plate shape. The reflective surface of each reflective strip 23 faces the lamp tube 5, projecting the light from the lamp tube 5 into the housing. When the movable edge 6 returns to its original position, the actions of each series are reversed. The original winding pin becomes the unwinding pull cable 30, and the original unwinding pin begins to become the winding pull cable 30.

[0045] In addition, limit strips 21 are installed on both sides of the top plate 11 and at the end away from the gear 13. When the limit strips 21 come into contact with the gear 13, they restrict the continued pulling of the top plate 11.

[0046] A friction plate 20 is installed on the shaft pin of gear 13. The friction plate 20 is in contact with the inner wall of the receiving cavity. The friction plate 20 rotates together with gear 13 and rubs against the inner wall of the receiving cavity, reducing the sliding speed of the top plate 11.

[0047] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
