Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of outdoor lamps, and in particular to an outdoor linear lamp. Background Art
[0002] Due to the specific environments in which they are used, outdoor linear lights require extremely high levels of waterproofing and hydrophobicity. For example, Publication No. CN211260427U discloses a "Waterproof Housing Structure for LED Linear Lights," which achieves an IP67 waterproof rating through structural designs such as rubber strips. However, while this structure can withstand short-term immersion or spraying, it fails to effectively address the problem of water accumulation on the surface of the lamp's faceplate. Water accumulated on the faceplate, over time, poses a risk of gradually seeping into the housing. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an outdoor linear light to prevent a large amount of water from accumulating on the top surface of the shell.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the first technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an outdoor linear light, including a shell 1; one side of the shell 1 is a mounting surface 11, and the top surface of the shell 1 is divided into a first hydrophobic surface 12 and a second hydrophobic surface 13, the first hydrophobic surface 12 is connected to the mounting surface 11, the angle between the first hydrophobic surface 12 and the mounting surface 11 is less than 90°, and the angle between the second hydrophobic surface 13 and the first hydrophobic surface 12 is less than 180°.
[0005] The beneficial effect of the present invention lies in the ability of the housing to connect to the wall via the mounting surface. A first hydrophobic surface, connected at an acute angle to the mounting surface (i.e., an obtuse angle between the first hydrophobic surface and the wall), and a second hydrophobic surface connected thereto and inclined outward, together form a top-to-outward double-slope water diversion system. This structure actively guides water falling on the top surface: first, it flows rapidly away from the wall along the steep first hydrophobic surface, and then further outward along the second hydrophobic surface, away from the housing. This effectively prevents rainwater from stagnating and accumulating on the top surface of the housing (particularly in critical areas near the wall), reducing the risk of water intrusion due to prolonged top-water infiltration, thereby enhancing the long-term waterproof reliability of outdoor linear lights in complex weather conditions.

[0007] To illustrate the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is given in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0008] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides an outdoor linear light, comprising a housing 1; one side of the housing 1 is a mounting surface 11, and the top surface of the housing 1 is divided into a first hydrophobic surface 12 and a second hydrophobic surface 13, wherein the first hydrophobic surface 12 is connected to the mounting surface 11, and the angle between the first hydrophobic surface 12 and the mounting surface 11 is less than 90°, and the angle between the second hydrophobic surface 13 and the first hydrophobic surface 12 is less than 180°.
[0009] Working Principle: Housing 1 connects to the wall via mounting surface 11. A first hydrophobic surface 12, which connects the top surface of housing 1 to mounting surface 11 at an acute angle (i.e., an obtuse angle exists between first hydrophobic surface 12 and the wall), and a second hydrophobic surface 13, connected and inclined outward, together form a top-to-outward double-slope water diversion system. This structure actively guides water falling on the top surface: first, it flows rapidly away from the wall along the steep first hydrophobic surface 12, and then further outward along the second hydrophobic surface 13, away from housing 1. This effectively prevents rainwater from being retained and accumulated on the top surface of housing 1 (particularly in key areas near the wall), reducing the risk of water intrusion into housing 1 due to prolonged water seepage from the top, thereby improving the long-term waterproof reliability of outdoor linear lights in complex weather conditions.
[0010] It is worth noting that the angle between the first hydrophobic surface 12 and the mounting surface 11 is C, 80°≤C<90°, and the angle between the second hydrophobic surface 13 and the first hydrophobic surface 12 is D, 120°≤D<180°. C includes but is not limited to 80°, 81°, 82°, 83°, 84°, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, and 89°; D includes but is not limited to 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, 150°, 155°, 160°, 165°, 170°, and 175°.
[0011] In certain embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 has a first drainage surface 14 disposed opposite the first hydrophobic surface 12. The angle between the first drainage surface 14 and the mounting surface 11 is greater than 90°. A first drain port 141 is provided at one end of the first drainage surface 14 away from the mounting surface 11. When water enters the inner cavity of the housing 1, it flows through the first drainage surface 14 toward the first drain port 141 under the action of gravity and is eventually discharged from the first drain port 141, thereby preventing water accumulation in the inner cavity of the housing 1.
[0012] It is worth noting that the angle A between the first drainage surface 14 and the mounting surface 11 is 90°<A≤110°. A includes, but is not limited to, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, 96°, 97°, 98°, 99°, 100°, 101°, 102°, 103°, 104°, 105°, 106°, 107°, 108°, 109°, and 110°. By limiting the angle between the first drainage surface 14 and the mounting surface 11, water on the first drainage surface 14 can flow toward the first drain outlet 141.
[0013] In certain embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 has a second drainage surface 15 disposed opposite the second hydrophobic surface 13. The angle between the second drainage surface 15 and the first drainage surface 14 is less than 180°. A second drain port 151 is provided at one end of the second drainage surface 15 away from the first drainage surface 14. When water enters the inner cavity of the housing 1, some of the water will flow through the second drainage surface 15 toward the second drain port 151 under the action of gravity, and will eventually be discharged from the second drain port 151, thereby preventing water accumulation in the inner cavity of the housing 1.
[0014] It is worth noting that the included angle B between the second drainage surface 15 and the first drainage surface 14 is 120°≤B<180°. Wherein, B includes but is not limited to 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, 150°, 155°, 160°, 165°, 170°, and 175°.
[0015] In certain embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, end caps 2 are provided at both ends of the housing 1 in the longitudinal direction. Screw slots 16 are provided in the inner cavity of the housing 1, and assembly holes 21 corresponding to the screw slots 16 are provided on the end caps 2. The end caps 2 are threadedly connected to the screw slots 16 by screws passing through the assembly holes 21, thereby achieving assembly of the end caps 2 on the housing 1.
[0016] In certain embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, a clamping block 22 is provided on one end surface of the end cover 2 facing the housing 1, which is arranged along the outline of the end cover assembly opening of the housing 1. The end cover 2 is clamped with the housing 1 through the clamping block 22, thereby improving the assembly reliability of the end cover 2 on the housing 1.
[0017] In one embodiment, a sealing ring (not shown) is provided between the clamping block 22 and the housing 1. By squeezing and deforming the sealing ring, the end cap 2 is secured to the housing 1 while also achieving a seal. Alternatively, the sealing ring can be replaced by applying sealant to the outer wall of the clamping block 22 to achieve a seal and securement between the end cap 2 and the housing 1.
[0018] In another embodiment, the area enclosed by the outer walls of the clamping block 22 is larger than the area of the end cap assembly opening of the housing 1. By extruding and deforming the end cap assembly opening of the housing 1, the end cap 2 can be effectively fixed to the housing 1. Of course, after the end cap 2 is connected to the housing 1, a sealant can be applied to the gap between the end cap 2 and the housing 1 to achieve a sealing effect.
[0019] In certain embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the lamp module 3 is mounted within the inner cavity of the housing 1 via a connector 4. The connector 4 includes a first mounting block 41, a second mounting block 42, and a magnetic block 43. The first mounting block 41 is mounted on the housing 1, the second mounting block 42 is mounted on the lamp module 3, and the magnetic block 43 is mounted on the first mounting block 41. The magnetic connection between the magnetic block 43 and the second mounting block 42 is achieved. This magnetic connection allows the lamp module 3 to be assembled to the housing 1. If the lamp module 3 is damaged, the outdoor linear light can be replaced without removing it from the wall, thus reducing repair costs.
[0020] In certain embodiments, see Figure 1As shown, the connector 4 further includes a screw 44, and the magnet 43 is fixed to the first mounting block 41 via the screw 44. Preferably, the screw 44 is a countersunk screw, and the magnet 43 is provided with a countersunk hole adapted to the countersunk screw, so that the screw 44 can be embedded in the magnet 43 to ensure that the magnetic surface of the magnet 43 contacts the second mounting block 42.
[0021] In certain embodiments, see Figure 6 As shown, the connector 4 further includes an anti-falling rope 45, one end of which is connected to the first mounting block 41, and the other end of which is connected to the second mounting block 42. The anti-falling rope 45 is used to prevent the housing 1 and the lamp body module 3 from accidentally falling during the disassembly process.
[0022] In certain embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the shell 1 is composed of a mounting surface 11, a first hydrophobic surface 12, a second hydrophobic surface 13, a first drainage surface 14 and a second drainage surface 15 to form an L-shaped shell 1, so that the lamp body module 3 can be assembled in the shell 1 in an inclined manner, so that the lamp body module 3 can emit light obliquely outward.
[0023] In certain embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, elastic clamping arms 17 are provided at the end of the second hydrophobic surface 13 away from the first hydrophobic surface 12, and at the end of the second drainage surface 15 away from the first drainage surface 14. When the two elastic clamping arms 17 are not subjected to external forces, the distance between the two elastic clamping arms 17 is less than the width of the light-emitting end of the lamp body module 3. During the process of assembling the lamp body module 3 into the housing 1, since the width of the light-emitting end of the lamp body module 3 is greater than the distance between the two elastic clamping arms 17, the two elastic clamping arms 17 are forced to undergo elastic deformation, thereby utilizing the elastic force generated by the elastic clamping arms 17 to secure the lamp body module 3 within the inner cavity of the housing 1.
