[0063] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention by specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0064] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0065] The following embodiments of the present invention provide a lamp holder and a lamp string, wherein the conductive wire is automatically stripped to reveal the conductive wire, and is electrically connected to the conductive wire through a connector, so that the lamp holder conducts electricity more stably, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that the conductive wire is easily damaged by the puncture process, thereby causing unstable conductivity. The installation is simple and convenient, and the product life is extended at the same time.

[0066] The principles and implementation methods of a lamp holder and a lamp string of this embodiment will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can understand the lamp holder and the lamp string of this embodiment without creative work.

[0067] like Figure 1a and 1b As shown, this embodiment provides a lamp holder 100, which includes a lamp cap 110 and an inner lamp holder 120; the lamp cap includes an inner lamp holder accommodating cavity 111 for accommodating the inner lamp holder 120; the inner lamp holder 120 includes a shell 121 and a wire 122; the shell is provided with a through hole 1211, and the wire 122 passes through the through hole 1211; the wire 122 is provided with a notch 1221, and the conductive wire is exposed at the notch; the conductive wire 122 is fixed in the through hole of the shell through a connector 123; the connector 123 is electrically connected to the conductive wire at the notch. Wherein, Figure 1a Shown is the complete structure diagram of the lamp holder. Figure 1b Shown is the exploded view of the lamp holder.

[0068] Specifically, the gap on the wire leaks out the conductive wire inside the wire through an automatic wire stripping process. For example, the wire is stripped open by a wire stripping machine such as an automatic wire stripper or a wire stripper, and the connector is electrically connected to the conductive wire at the gap. In the present invention, the conductive wire leaks out through automatic wire stripping and is electrically connected to the conductive wire through the connector, which overcomes the problem that the puncture process easily scratches the copper wire of the wire and prolongs the product life.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, wire fixing parts are provided at both ends of the lamp holder for fixing the wire.

[0070] like Figure 1a-1b As shown, the two ends of the lamp holder 110 are provided with wire fixing parts 112, including a first wire fixing part 112a and a second wire fixing part 112b. When the inner lamp holder is assembled, it is placed in the inner lamp holder accommodating cavity 111 of the lamp holder 110, wherein the wires protruding from the two ends of the inner lamp holder pass through the wire fixing parts 112a and 112b at the two ends of the lamp holder 110.

It should be noted that when the first bayonet 1231a of the first clamp terminal 123a is electrically connected to the positive wire, the first electrical contact end 1232a is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the bulb, and the first bayonet 1231b of the second clamp terminal 123b is electrically connected to the negative wire, and the second electrical contact end 1232b is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the bulb, so as to supply power to the bulb; when the first bayonet 1231a of the first clamp terminal 123a is electrically connected to the negative wire, the first electrical contact end 1232a is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the bulb, and the first bayonet 1231b of the second clamp terminal 123b is electrically connected to the positive wire, and the second electrical contact end 1232b is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the bulb, so as to supply power to the bulb.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member is made of conductive material.

[0084] Specifically, the connecting member itself is made of a conductive material, that is, the first clamping terminal and the second clamping terminal are both made of a conductive material.

[0087] The first mounting member 1212a includes four fixing portions 12121a, and the second mounting member 1212b includes four fixing holes 12121b. The fixing portions 12121a are fixedly connected to the fixing holes 12121b, so that the first mounting member 1212a and the second mounting member 1212b are matched and connected to form the housing 121.
