DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The present invention discloses a connection structure of a control module, such as Figure 1~Figure 3 As shown in combination, the connection structure 1 is arranged in a control module 4 with a female docking terminal 2 and a sub-docking terminal 3, and the connection structure 1 includes a stop groove 11 and a positioning ring 12. One end of the sub-docking terminal 3 is respectively provided with a first electrode sheet 31 and at least two second electrode sheets 32, and one end of the female docking terminal 2 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of slots 21 for inserting the first electrode sheet 31 and the second electrode sheet 32. A stop groove 11 docking with the slot 21 is provided in the middle of the female docking terminal 2, and the stop groove 11 can stop the first electrode sheet 31 and the second electrode sheet 32 ​​matched therein, and a positioning ring 12 is provided in the end of the stop groove 11 away from the slot 21 side. The first electrode sheet 31 and the second electrode sheet 32 ​​are positioned by the positioning ring 12 at their ends moved into the stop groove 11, so as to realize the connection between the sub-docking terminal 3 and the female docking terminal 2, and a locking assembly 13 is provided in the female docking terminal 2 located outside the positioning ring 12.

[0035] It should be noted that: the end of the female docking terminal 2 away from the docking side with the sub-docking terminal 3 is the connection end of the power transmission line, and hardware can be set in the female docking terminal 2 outside the slot 21, so that when the control module 4 is inserted into the female docking terminal 2 through the electrode sheet on the sub-docking terminal 3, power is turned on; the first electrode sheet 31 and the second electrode sheet 32 ​​inserted into the female docking terminal 2 through the slot 21 can enter the stop groove 11, and then be further inserted into the interior of the female docking terminal 2. At this time, the end of the first electrode sheet 31 and / or the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​are in the cooperation of the stop groove 11, the positioning ring 12 and the locking assembly 13. The end of the sheet 31 and / or the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​are positioned inside the female docking terminal 2, which not only strengthens the connection tightness of the electrode sheet installed on the female docking terminal 2, but also makes the plugging and unplugging operation of the sub-docking terminal 3 on the female docking terminal 2 more convenient. After the sub-docking terminal 3 is pulled out from the female docking terminal 2, the control module 4 can be powered off, which has good safety performance. At the same time, the connection structure adopts a simple structural composition and setting method, which improves the production efficiency of the control module 4, the installation efficiency of the control module 4 on the lamp, and the maintenance efficiency of the control module 4 on the lamp during the production and assembly of the control module 4 or its application in the lamp.

[0036] It needs to be further explained that if Figure 3~Figure 6As shown in the combination, the stop groove 11 forms a fan shape on the radial cross-section of the female docking terminal 2, and one end of the stop groove 11 is a locking position 111 for cooperating with the end of the first electrode sheet 31 in the radial direction or the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​in the radial direction. The locking assembly 13 is located in the stop groove 11 outside the locking position 111 and abuts against the end face of the positioning ring 12. The port of the stop groove 11 away from the positioning ring 12 is closed by the wall of the female docking terminal 2 outside the slot 21.

[0037] Among them, after the first electrode sheet 31 or the second electrode sheet 32 ​​enters the stop groove 11, the control module 4 part where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located is rotated with the central axis of the sub-docking terminal 3 as the rotation center, so that the end of the first electrode sheet 31 and / or the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​moves to the locking position 111. After the end of the first electrode sheet 31 and / or the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​enters the locking position 111, the locking component 13 abuts against the end surface of the positioning ring 12, thereby tightening the positioning ring 12 in the direction of the locking position 111, and then the end of the first electrode sheet 31 and / or the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​is restricted in the locking position 111 by the positioning ring 12. In the case of non-artificial rotation of the control module 4 part where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located, the end of the first electrode sheet 31 and / or the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​will not move out of the locking position 111 by itself, so that the two movable connected parts of the control module 4 are in a relatively static state, which is beneficial to maintaining the overall structural stability of the control module 4 when working.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 3~Figure 11 As shown, the locking assembly 13 includes a positioning block 131, a sliding block 132 and a spring 133, all of which have fan-shaped cross-sections. A sliding groove 14 is provided in the female docking terminal 2 outside the stopping groove 11, and the positioning block 131 is fixedly connected in the sliding groove 14. A protrusion 15 located on the radial end surface of the positioning ring 12 is provided at one end in the length direction of the positioning ring 12. The protrusion 15 moves outside the stopping groove 11 for stopping the first electrode sheet 31, and the sliding block 132 is engaged in the sliding groove 14 close to the side of the protrusion 15. The positioning block 131 is connected to the sliding block 132 through the spring 133. The end surfaces facing the positioning ring 12 and the sliding block 132 are both first chamfered surfaces 16, and the inner wall of the female docking terminal 2 close to the first chamfered surface 16 is provided with a groove 17 for the protrusion 15 to cooperate with, and the inner wall of the female docking terminal 2 on both sides of the protrusion 15 and outside one side of the groove 17 are provided with second chamfered surfaces 19.

[0039] It should be specifically explained that: after a second electrode sheet 32 ​​on the sub-docking terminal 3 is inserted into the stop groove 11 where the protrusion 15 is located, the protrusion 15 is located on the outside of the end of the second electrode sheet 32. In the process of rotating the control module 4 part where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located with the central axis of the sub-docking terminal 3 as the rotation center, the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​will press against the protrusion 15 to drive the positioning ring 12 to move in the stop groove 11. When the protrusion 15 moves to the locking position 111, if the rotation direction of the control module 4 part where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located changes, it means that the second electrode sheet 32 ​​at this time performs an oblique cutting movement on the second beveled surface 19, and the control module 4 part where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located can be pushed further into the stop groove 11, and the first beveled surface 16 can be used to move on the inner wall of the female docking terminal 2. The oblique cutting movement causes the second electrode sheet 32 ​​to push the positioning ring 12 to move in the stop groove 11 in the direction away from the slot 21 side, so that the protrusion 15 moves out from the locking position 111, and at the same time, the control module 4 part where the sub-butt terminal 3 is located is rotated until the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​moves into the locking position 111, and the protrusion 15 that is ejected moves into the groove 17 under the guidance of the second beveled surface 19 of the inner wall of the female butt terminal 2, and the sliding block 132 is pressed tightly against the end of the first beveled surface 16 of the positioning ring 12 under the restoring action of the spring 133, while fixing the position of the positioning ring 12, the end of the first electrode sheet 31 and / or the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​are pressed against the side close to the slot 21, thereby positioning the first electrode sheet 31 and / or the second electrode sheet 32 ​​in the stop groove 11.

[0040] In addition, when releasing the connection between the sub-docking terminal 3 and the female docking terminal 2, the control module 4 portion where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located can be pushed further into the stop groove 11 to move the protrusion 15 out of the groove 17. After stopping pushing the control module 4 portion where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located, due to the elastic recovery effect of the spring 133 and the guiding effect of the second beveled surface 19 on the inner wall of the female docking terminal 2, the positioning ring 12 is pushed by the sliding block 132 and rotates in the female docking terminal 2 with the central axis of the female docking terminal 2 as the rotation center, and the protrusion 15 also presses against the end of the second electrode sheet 32, thereby transmitting the rotational force to the control module 4 portion where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located. After the protrusion 15 completely enters the stop groove 11 close to the locking position 111, the sub-docking terminal 3 can be pulled out from the female docking terminal 2 to release the connection between the two.

[0041] In addition, the spring 133 is in a fully extended state under normal conditions, and the sliding block 132 presses the first beveled surface 16 of the spring 133 against the end of the first beveled surface 16 on the positioning ring 12. When the second electrode sheet 32 ​​does not enter the stop groove 11 and contact the positioning ring 12, the position of the protrusion 15 is in the stop groove 11 close to the locking position 111 side.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 12~Figure 14 As shown in the figure, the inner wall of the female docking terminal 2 on the outer side of the stopping groove 11 for stopping the first electrode sheet 31 is provided with a guide surface 18, and the fan-shaped area formed by the stopping groove 11 where the guide surface 18 is located on the radial cross-section of the female docking terminal 2 increases as the distance from the slot 21 decreases.

[0043] Among them, when the first electrode sheet 31 continues to penetrate into the female docking terminal 2 after passing through the slot 21, the end of the first electrode sheet 31 contacts the guide surface 18 and performs an oblique cutting movement on the surface of the guide surface 18, so that the control module 4 where the sub-docking terminal 3 is located is partially rotated by using the guide surface 18, and the second electrode sheet 32 ​​on the sub-docking terminal 3 will also perform an oblique cutting movement in the stop groove 11, so that the first electrode sheet 31 and the second electrode sheet 32 ​​can further penetrate into the stop groove 11 and rotate in the stop groove 11 at the same time, so that the end of the second electrode sheet 32 ​​is screwed into the locking position 111, and the protrusion 15 in the stop groove 11 where it is located can be pushed out to the groove 17 by the second electrode sheet 32, so as to facilitate the fixation of the position of the electrode sheet and the positioning ring 12 when the sub-docking terminal 3 is docked with the female docking terminal 2.

[0044] The present invention also discloses a control module, such as Figure 1 , Fig.15 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown in combination, it includes a first shell 33, a sub-docking terminal 3, a female docking terminal 2 and the above-mentioned connection structure 1, the sub-docking terminal 3 is connected to the end of the first shell 33, the connection structure 1 is arranged in the second shell 22 of the female docking terminal 2, the second shell 22 includes a first shell 221, a second shell 222 and a third shell 223, the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are arranged in sequence along the matching direction of the sub-docking terminal 3 and the female docking terminal 2, the slot 21 is arranged in the first shell 221, the groove 17 is arranged in the second shell 222, the slide groove 14 is arranged in the third shell 223, the stop groove 11 is arranged in the second shell 222 and the third shell 223, the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are connected into one by a connecting component 5, and a through-type connection hole 23 is formed on both sides of the second shell 22.

[0045] It should be noted that: when assembling the control module 4, the positioning ring 12 is placed in the stop groove 11 close to the groove 17, the placement position of the protrusion 15 on the positioning ring 12 is in the stop groove 11 close to the second chamfer 19 and used for inserting the second electrode sheet 32, and then the spring 133 and the sliding block 132 are placed in the sliding groove 14, and the two ends of the spring 133 are respectively connected to the end of the sliding block 132 and the end of the positioning block 131, thereby completing the setting of the locking assembly 13. During the assembly process of the positioning ring 12 and the locking assembly 13, the stop groove 11 for placing the positioning ring 12 and the sliding groove 14 for placing the locking assembly 13 are both at the end of the shell where they are located, and this end is exposed to the outside world, so it can be easily seen by the assembler during assembly, so that the assembler can accurately place the positioning ring 12 and the locking assembly 13 on the specified shell, and the assembly operation of the connection structure of the control module 4 inside the female docking terminal 2 is faster and more accurate, and the production assembly operation of the control module 4 is simplified.

[0046] After the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are placed side by side, the first shell 221 is matched to the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 along the direction in which the connecting component 5 matches the second shell 222 and the third shell 223, and the direction in which the slot 21 and the stop groove 11 are directly opposite to each other, and the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are sequentially combined into a whole, and connected to the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 through the connecting component 5, and the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 equipped with the connecting structure are connected together, and the assembly of the second shell 22 is completed, and the setting position of the components of the connecting structure in the second shell 22 of the female docking terminal 2 is determined.

[0047] Among them, after the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are combined into the second shell 22, the connection hole 23 will be formed on both sides of the second shell 22, thereby providing a position for a matching connection component for the female docking terminal 2 to be connected to other devices.

[0048] In addition, the controller module can not only be disassembled through the detachable connection between the sub-docking terminal 3 and the female docking terminal 2, but the female docking terminal 2 can also be separately disassembled during transportation in the form of the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 as one part and the first shell 221 as another part; secondly, the detachable connection structure of the female docking terminal 2 only requires the damaged part to be disassembled and replaced when its components are damaged, which can reduce the maintenance cost of the controller module.

[0049] It needs to be further explained that if Figure 15~Figure 17As shown in combination, the connecting component 5 includes a connecting column 51 and a limit block 52. At least two connecting columns 51 are circumferentially arranged on the end surface of the first shell 221. The limit block 52 is arranged at the end of the connecting column 51 away from the first shell 221. The second shell 222 is circumferentially provided with at least two first through holes 53 whose contours are the same as the contours of the limit blocks 52. The third shell 223 is circumferentially provided with at least two limit grooves 54 with stepped internal spaces. The opening of the limit groove 54 is the same as the projection formed by the connecting component 5 on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the third shell 223.

[0050] Among them, when the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are placed side by side, the opening of the limiting groove 54 on the third shell 223 is directly opposite to the first through hole 53 on the second shell 222. Therefore, when the first shell 221 is assembled to one side of the second shell 222, the connecting column 51 on the first shell 221 can pass through the first through hole 53 and place the limiting block 52 in the limiting groove 54, thereby connecting the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223; after the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are connected into one, the limiting block 52 enters the limiting groove 54 by rotating the first shell 221, thereby locking the position of the first shell 221 and the position of the connecting column 51 in the first through hole 53, thereby stabilizing the structure of the entire second shell 22, so that the second shell 22 adopting the combined shell structure not only simplifies the production and assembly operations of the control module 4, but also takes into account the structural stability of the control module 4 when it is working.

[0051] Specifically, Figure 15~Figure 17 As shown in combination, second through holes 231 are provided on both sides of the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223. The second through holes 231 located on the same side of the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are combined into a connecting hole 23 in a way that the central axes of the three are colinear.

[0052] Among them, since after the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are connected into one, it is necessary to rotate the first shell 221 to make the limit block 52 enter the limit groove 54 to stably form the second shell 22. Therefore, after the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are connected into one, the second through hole 231 on the first shell 221 is staggered with the second through holes 231 on the second shell 222 and the third shell 223, and rotating the first shell 221 can make the second through hole 231 on the first shell 221 move to a position facing the second through holes 231 on the second shell 222 and the third shell 223. After the central axes of the second through holes 231 on the same side of the first shell 221, the second shell 222 and the third shell 223 are in line, the connecting hole 23 will be formed, thereby providing a position for a matching connecting component for the female docking terminal 2 to be externally connected to other devices.

[0053] The present invention also discloses a lamp, such as Fig.18 and Fig.19 As shown in the combination, it includes a lamp housing 6 and the above-mentioned control module 4 , wherein the control module 4 is fixed to the lamp housing 6 by fitting a connecting component into the connecting hole 23 , and the non-connection terminal portion of the control module 4 is located outside the lamp housing 6 .

[0054] It should be noted that when the control module 4 with a connecting structure is applied to a lamp, the female docking terminal 2 in the control module 4 needs to be connected to the lamp housing 6 to provide a connection position for the part of the control module 4 with the sub-docking terminal 3 to be connected to the lamp. Moreover, in order to facilitate the wiring of the female docking terminal 2, the wiring terminal in the control module 4 passes through the lamp housing 6. When the female docking terminal 2 is installed on the lamp housing 6, the connecting component is fitted into the connecting hole 23 and then passes through the lamp housing 6, so as to connect the female docking terminal 2 to the outside of the lamp housing 6; when wiring the female docking terminal 2, the circuit of the lamp can be led out from the lamp housing 6 to the outside of the lamp housing 6 for wiring, and there is no need to wire in the narrow space inside the lamp housing 6, which is more convenient for wiring operations. After all the wires are connected to the wiring terminal of the female docking terminal 2, the wiring terminal of the female docking terminal 2 is pushed back into the lamp housing 6 and then the female docking terminal 2 is fixed; since the second shell 22 is detachable It is divided into three parts: a first shell 221, a second shell 222 and a third shell 223. Therefore, in the later maintenance of the controller module of the lamp, not only can the detachable connection between the sub-docking terminal 3 and the female docking terminal 2 be used, but also the control module 4 with the sub-docking terminal 3 can be disassembled and replaced when the part with the sub-docking terminal 3 is damaged; when checking the wiring condition of the female docking terminal 2, since the wire is first connected to the female docking terminal 2 from the first shell 221, the first shell 221 and the second shell 222 of the female docking terminal 2 together with the parts inside the two can be disassembled together, and one end of the first shell 221 connected to the lamp housing 6 will be exposed to the outside, so that the maintenance personnel can clearly observe the internal wiring condition and thus repair the damaged line; the above situation shows that the control module 4 with this connection structure improves the installation efficiency of the lamp and the maintenance efficiency of the control module 4 on the lamp.

[0055] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
