DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as first and second and the like are used only to differentiate one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply that there is any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

Moreover, the terms "comprise", "contain" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such a process, method, article or device. Without more limitations, the elements defined by the statement "comprise" do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device that includes the elements. If there is no conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the various features in the embodiments can be combined with each other, and all within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 16 The plant lamp 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a lamp body 10 and an end cover 11, the two lamp bodies 10 are arranged opposite along the same axis, and the two ends of the lamp bodies 10 are aligned along the length direction; and the two ends of the lamp bodies 10 are respectively fixedly connected with the end cover 11.
[0024] In the embodiment, the lamp body 10 is integrated with a light source and a circuit assembly, and can be directly used for outputting light required for plant growth in terms of irradiation function. The two independent lamp bodies 10 can respectively realize the lighting function. The lamp body 10 serves as the main frame of the lamp, and the two ends are connected with the end cover 11 to form an overall structure, which can support the lens lamp shell 15 and provide physical space for wiring.
[0025] In the above embodiment, the end cap 11 is used to connect the two lamp bodies 10, so that the two lamp bodies 10 and the two end caps 11 can be combined to form a complete plant lamp 1. Specifically, in actual installation, the lamp bodies 10 and the end caps 11 are connected by bolts. The two lamp bodies 10 are symmetrically distributed along the same axis, which can balance the overall weight and prevent the lamp from tilting or deforming due to the shift of the center of gravity. At the same time, the two lamp bodies 10 are arranged opposite each other, so that the light source direction of the two lamp bodies 10 is facing outward, and the direction of the light source can form a complementary relationship of diffusion to both sides, which can be more suitable for supplemental lighting between plants. That is, in actual application, plants are usually planted in multiple rows and columns. The illumination range of existing plant lamps 1 is usually on the top of the plants, which is called top supplemental lighting. Since the stems and leaves of plants are usually layered, top supplemental lighting usually cannot completely illuminate the bottom of the plants. The plant lamp 1 of this invention is used for bottom illumination of plants. It is set between two adjacent rows or columns of plants. By symmetrically distributing the two lamp bodies 10 along the same axis, it can illuminate plants on both sides and avoid the occurrence of blind spots.
[0026] In the above embodiment, the two ends of the lamp body 10 are aligned so that the end port interface positions of the two lamp bodies 10 are completely consistent. The end cover 11 can adopt a unified mold design, which can reduce processing costs and improve assembly efficiency. Only the end cover 11 needs to be loosened to separate a single lamp body 10 without adjusting the overall structure.
[0027] In the above embodiment, by employing a split structure with two independent lamp bodies 10 arranged opposite each other along the same axis and fixedly connected by end caps 11, the traditional integral polygonal lamp body 10 is divided into individually replaceable units. When a single lamp body 10 is damaged, only the corresponding end cap 11 needs to be removed to remove the damaged lamp body 10 and replace it, without the need for the entire unit to be scrapped. Simultaneously, the two lamp bodies 10 are identical in the split configuration, which facilitates mass production of parts and reduces the manufacturing cost of a single lamp body 10. This effectively solves the problem of high costs caused by the need to replace the entire lamp body 10 when it is damaged in the prior art. Furthermore, after the two ends of the lamp body 10 are aligned, the fixing force of the end caps 11 on the lamp body 10 can be evenly distributed at both ends, avoiding the risk of breakage caused by local stress concentration and extending the service life of the lamp.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the lamp body 10 includes a first mounting portion 100 and a second mounting portion 101, and a mounting groove 102 is formed between the first mounting portion 100 and the second mounting portion 101 along the length direction. A lamp plate 103 is fixedly mounted in the mounting groove 102.
[0029] In this embodiment, the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 101 are arranged along the length direction of the lamp body 10, located at the top and bottom of the lamp body 10 respectively, and can jointly support the mounting groove 102, the lamp plate 103 and the lens housing 15, ensuring the structural strength of the lamp body 10. Figure 6 As shown, the top surface of the first mounting part 100 is flat, and a mounting hole is provided between the top and bottom. The second mounting part 101 is provided with the same mounting hole. The mounting hole is provided along the length direction of the lamp body 10, and the mounting hole is provided with a notch, so that the mounting hole is a C-shaped structure when viewed in cross-section, which can accommodate mounting parts of different sizes or tolerances within a certain range. Moreover, compared with completely closed circular or rectangular mounting holes, C-shaped mounting holes can reduce the use of materials during the manufacturing process and reduce the overall weight of the lamp to a certain extent.
[0030] In the above embodiment, the mounting groove 102 is used to mount the lamp plate 103. The lamp plate 103 is provided with LED beads, which emit light to illuminate the plants. Specifically, the lamp plate 103 is also provided with through holes, and a threaded hole is provided at a corresponding position at the bottom of the mounting groove 102. The lamp plate 103 is connected to the threaded hole by bolts passing through the through holes, thereby fixing the lamp plate 103 within the mounting groove 102.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the mounting groove 102 and the first mounting part 100 are inclined in the vertical direction.
[0032] In this embodiment, the inclined setting allows for upward illumination from the bottom of the plant, achieving the purpose of illuminating multiple layers of the plant's stems and leaves. Furthermore, since the mounting slots 102 in both lamp bodies 10 are inclined, the plants on both sides of the lamp body 10 can receive light within the illumination range of the plant lamp 1.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the bottom of the mounting groove 102 is provided with at least one wiring groove 1020 formed by the bottom recess; the end cover 11 is provided with a first fixing groove 110 on the side near the lamp body 10, and when the lamp body 10 is connected to the end cover 11, the wiring groove 1020 is engaged with the first fixing groove 110.
[0034] In this embodiment, the wiring groove 1020 is used to arrange connecting wires, enabling the lamp board 103 to connect to the power supply and control system, ensuring that the lamp beads on the lamp board 103 can work normally. The wiring groove 1020 is formed by the recessed bottom of the mounting groove 102, eliminating the need for additional independent wiring groove components outside or inside the lamp body 10. It integrates the wiring storage space and the lamp board 103 mounting space into the same mounting groove 102, avoiding the increase in the thickness of the lamp body 10 caused by setting up separate wiring grooves. The overall structure is more compact. Compared with the existing polygonal lamp body 10, there is no need to set up a cavity in the middle for wiring, which can reduce the space occupied by the lamp body 10 and make wiring very convenient.
[0035] In the above embodiment, the first fixing groove 110 is used to fix the wiring groove 1020. Specifically, the position and shape of the first fixing groove 110 are set according to the position and shape of the wiring groove 1020. During installation, the back of the wiring groove 1020 is engaged with the first fixing groove 110 to increase the connection between the lamp body 10 and the end cap 11. That is, it is only necessary to align the two and then fix them together by connecting their end faces.
[0036] It should be noted that the specific location of the wiring groove 1020 is not limited in the above embodiments. It can be located at one end of the mounting groove 102 near the first mounting part 100, or at one end of the mounting groove 102 near the second mounting part 101, or at any position in the middle of the bottom of the mounting groove 102. The wiring groove 1020 is designed according to the specific lamp body 10 and only needs to meet the design requirements, namely, the corresponding wiring requirements. In this embodiment, the wiring groove 1020 is preferably located at one end of the mounting groove 102 near the first mounting part 100, and the mounting groove 102 and the first mounting part 100 are connected through the wiring groove 1020.
[0037] In the above embodiment, the end cap 11 is provided with wiring holes corresponding to the mounting of the lamp panel 103. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the wiring hole is set at an angle, with one end protruding towards the first fixing groove 110. The protruding part is adapted to the wiring groove 1020. In actual wiring, the wire passes through the protruding part and connects to the lamp board 103.
[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, at least one mounting strip 104 is provided on the back side of the bottom of the mounting groove 102 along the length direction. When there are multiple mounting strips 104, the multiple mounting strips 104 are arranged side by side along the inclined direction. A corresponding second fixing groove 111 is provided on the side of the end cover 11 near the lamp body 10. When the lamp body 10 is connected to the end cover 11, the mounting strip 104 is engaged with the second fixing groove 111.
[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting strip 104 is arranged along the length direction, which can further enhance the rigidity of the lamp body 10 along the length direction. Specifically, the mounting strip 104 includes a connecting block 1040 protruding from the inclined surface of the back side of the bottom of the mounting groove 102 and a limiting block 1041 parallel to the vertical direction. Both the connecting block 1040 and the limiting block 1041 can strengthen the lamp body 10. The connecting block 1040 is used to connect the back side of the bottom of the mounting groove 102 and the limiting block 1041. Further, the connecting block 1040 and the limiting block 1041 are inclined and parallel to the vertical surface of the first mounting part 100 for connection with the support assembly 14. The limiting block 1041 is used to restrict the support assembly 14 to ensure that the support assembly 14 does not detach from the mounting strip 104 after installation. The second fixing groove 111 is used to restrict the movement of the mounting strip 104 at the end to ensure the connection stability between the lamp body 10 and the end cap 11. Specifically, the shape of the second fixing groove 111 is determined according to the shape of the mounting strip 104. The second fixing groove 111 has a groove in the vertical direction that matches the limiting groove. By connecting the mounting strip 104 with the second fixing groove 111, the relative position of the lamp body 10 and the end cover 11 can be fixed, ensuring that the two are more stable after being connected by bolts.
[0040] Furthermore, it should be noted that the installation method of the plant light 1 includes bracket installation. In this embodiment, the plant light 1 is used to illuminate the layered stems and leaves at the bottom of the plant. Therefore, the mounting strip 104 is also used to form a stable connection with the support component, ensuring the stability of the entire plant light 1 installation.
[0041] In the above embodiments, the mounting strip 104 can be a single piece. When the mounting strip 104 is a single piece, it can be set between the first mounting part 100 and the wiring groove 1020, or between the second mounting part 101 and the wiring groove 1020, or even on the back side of the bottom of the wiring groove 1020. There can be two or more mounting strips 104. It is understood that when there are multiple mounting strips 104, they can all be set between the first mounting part 100 and the wiring groove 1020, all of them can be set between the second mounting part 101 and the wiring groove 1020, or a portion can be set between the first mounting part 100 and the wiring groove 1020, and another portion can be set between the second mounting part 101 and the wiring groove 1020. Among them, corresponding mounting grooves can be formed between adjacent mounting strips 104, between mounting strip 104 and the wiring groove 1020, between mounting strip 104 and the first mounting part 100, and between mounting strip 104 and the second mounting part 101. The mounting grooves can be adapted to and connected with the support component 14, which is conducive to the installation of the lamp body 10 and the support component 14.
[0042] It should be further explained that the mounting strip 104 is also used for heat dissipation of the lamp body 10. As part of the lamp body 10, the mounting strip 10 and the lamp plate 103 are installed in the mounting groove 102. The entire plant lamp is in a sealed state. Most of the heat generated by the lamp plate 103 during operation is directly transferred to the mounting groove 102. Setting the mounting strip 104 on the side of the mounting groove 102 away from the lamp plate 103 can increase the heat dissipation area of the lamp body, thereby playing a role in heat dissipation.
[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the plant lamp 1 further includes a lens lamp housing 15, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 101 in the width direction; the end cover 11 is provided with a third fixing groove 112, and when the lamp body 10 is connected to the end cover 11, the first mounting part 100, the second mounting part 101 and the lens lamp housing 15 are all engaged with the third fixing groove 112.
[0044] In this embodiment, the lens housing 15 is an optical lens. The side of the lens housing 15 away from the lamp panel 103 is arc-shaped, and the side closer to the lamp panel 103 has a wavy protrusion structure, covering the outer side of the lamp panel 103. The lens housing 15 achieves the function of uniform light distribution through the internal wavy protrusion structure, evenly illuminating the light from the lamp panel 103 to match the light requirements of plant photosynthesis. Furthermore, the lens housing 15 can isolate the lamp panel 103 from the external environment, preventing dust, moisture, and insects from directly contacting the lamp panel 103 and causing short circuits, and avoiding corrosion of the light source by spraying liquid and fertilizer splashes during planting. At the same time, the lens housing 15 can also serve as the outer frame of the lamp body 10, connecting to the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 101 at the top and bottom respectively, and connecting to the end caps 11 at both ends, which can enhance the overall rigidity of the lamp body 10 and further prevent the lamp panel 103 and the lamp body 10 from bending and deforming.
[0045] In the above embodiment, the third fixing groove 112 matches the shape of the first mounting part 100, the second mounting part 101 and the end of the lens lamp housing 15. By fixing the first mounting part 100, the second mounting part 101 and the lens lamp housing 15 at the same time, a stable connection can be formed, avoiding positioning deviation caused by independent fixing of each component, as well as redundant design.
[0046] It should be noted that the connection methods between the two ends of the lens housing 15 in the width direction and the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 101 include traditional connection methods such as bolt connection and snap-fit. However, bolt connection requires drilling and adding bolts, while snap-fit requires the setting of sliding grooves or slots, and the installation process is quite cumbersome. Therefore, in practical applications, the two ends of the lens housing 15 in the width direction abut against the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 101, respectively, and the lens housing is fixed by the third fixing groove 112. This can improve the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the lens housing 15 and facilitate the replacement of damaged components.
[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the plant lamp 1 further includes a first connecting component 12 and a second connecting component 13, the first connecting component 12 and the second connecting component 13 being fixedly connected to the lamp body 10 through end caps 11 at both ends.
[0048] It should be noted that, to achieve a larger illumination range, plant lights 1 are typically made in a long strip shape. However, due to technological limitations, the illumination range of a single plant light 1 is still limited. If the planting area is large, multiple plant lights 1 need to be connected in series or parallel to cover the entire plant's illumination range. Currently, connecting plant lights 1 requires wiring, making the entire installation process quite cumbersome, and disconnecting the wiring is equally inconvenient.
[0049] Therefore, in this embodiment, the plant light 1 is further provided with a first connecting component 12 and a second connecting component 13, which are used for interconnection between two adjacent plant lights 1. For example, if the first connecting component 12 of the first plant light 1 is connected to a power source, then the second connecting component 13 of the first plant light 1 is connected to the first connecting component 12 of the second plant light 1; the second connecting component 13 of the second plant light 1 is connected to the first connecting component 12 of the third plant light 1. This continues until the actual installation requirements are met, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the first connecting component 12 includes a first connector 120, which includes a first connecting portion 1200 and a second connecting portion 1201; the second connecting component 13 includes a second connector 130, which includes a third connecting portion 1300 and a fourth connecting portion 1301; when multiple plant lights 1 are connected, adjacent plant lights 1 are electrically connected through the first connecting portion 1200 and the third connecting portion 1300, and the second connecting portion 1201 and the fourth connecting portion 1301 are fixedly connected.
[0051] In this embodiment, to address the problem of poor electrical contact when a single connector simultaneously handles both electrical and mechanical connections for adjacent plant lights 1 connected in series, the first connector 120 is provided with a first connecting portion 1200 and a second connecting portion 1201, and the second connector 130 is provided with a third connecting portion 1300 and a fourth connecting portion 1301. The first connecting portion 1200 and the third connecting portion 1300 are mutually compatible plug and female connectors. For example, when the first connecting portion 1200 is a plug, the third connecting portion 1300 is a compatible female connector; when the first connecting portion 1200 is a female connector, the third connecting portion 1300 is a compatible plug; and when the first connecting portion 1200 includes both a plug and a female connector, the third connecting portion 1300 is a compatible female connector and a plug. The second connecting part 1201 and the fourth connecting part 1301 are mutually matched mechanical connectors. For example, the second connecting part 1201 can be a slot, and the fourth connecting part 1301 can be a mutually matched block; when the second connecting part 1201 is a block, the fourth connecting part 1301 is a mutually matched slot.
[0052] Specifically, the first connecting component 12 also includes a button 123 and a push rod 124. The first connector is provided with an elastic mechanism, and the second connecting part 1201 is provided on the elastic mechanism. One end of the push rod 124 is connected to the button 123, and the other end is connected to the elastic mechanism. When the first connector 120 and the second connector 130 are connected, pressing button 123 causes push rod 124 to rotate the elastic mechanism, achieving initial connection between the second connector 1201 and the first connector 1200. Releasing button 123 allows the elastic mechanism to return to its original position under spring pressure, thus locking the second connector 1201 and the first connector 1200 together. When it is necessary to disassemble the first connector 120 and the second connector 130, pressing button 123 causes push rod 124 to rotate the elastic mechanism, achieving initial separation between the second connector 1201 and the first connector 1200. Pulling the first and second components in opposite directions then completely separates the first connector 1200 and the second connector 1201. For example, the elastic mechanism includes a rotating component, which is sleeved on the first connector and connected to the first connector via a spring.
[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the first connecting component 12 further includes a first protective shell 121 and a protective cover 122. The first protective shell 121 is provided with a button 123 mounting hole, and the protective cover 122 is provided with a corresponding clearance opening. The first protective shell 121 and the protective cover 122 are fixedly connected.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first protective shell 121 is used to install and protect the first connector 120, and the protective cover 122 is used not only to protect the first connector 120, but also to limit the push rod 124 and the elastic mechanism, so as to prevent the elastic mechanism and the push rod 124 from popping outward.
[0055] Specifically, in actual use, the geometric center of the first protective shell 121 and the protective cover 122 are provided with through holes. The first connector 120 passes through and is engaged with the through hole of the first protective shell 121. The elastic mechanism is provided with a push block, which abuts against the protective cover 122. The front end of the elastic mechanism includes the second connecting part 1201 and the first connecting part 1200, both of which pass through the through hole of the protective cover 122.
[0056] Furthermore, the button 123 is mounted on the button 123 mounting hole, and the button 123 abuts against the push block on the elastic mechanism via the push rod 124. This ensures that the button 123 can push the elastic mechanism.
[0057] Please see Figures 1 to 16 The second connecting component 13 further includes a second protective shell 131, and the second connector 130 is snapped onto the second protective shell 131.
[0058] In this embodiment, the first protective shell 121 is used to install and protect the second connector 130. When two adjacent plant lights 1 are connected through the first connecting component 12 and the second connecting component 13, the second protective shell 131 is interference-fitted with the first protective shell 121.
[0059] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the plant light 1 further includes a sealing element 16, and the first connecting component 12 and the second connecting component 13 are respectively connected to the corresponding end caps 11 through the sealing element 16.
[0060] In this embodiment, the seal 16 is an elastic material component. For example, it can be made of silicone or nitrile rubber. This embodiment does not limit the specific material of the seal 16, as long as it is an elastic material and can provide a sealing effect. Figure 1 As shown, the shape of the seal 16 is set according to the cross-section of the lamp body 10 and the lens lamp housing 15. A larger through hole is provided in the middle to avoid the corresponding first or second joint; smaller through holes are provided at the top and bottom to avoid the bolts.
[0061] In the above embodiments, the sealing element 16 can fill the gaps between the first connecting component 12 and the second connecting component 13 and the end cap 11, respectively, preventing liquid and solid particles from entering the lamp body 10 and affecting the normal operation of the lamp panel 103. At the same time, the sealing element 16 can offset the gap changes of the first connecting component 12, the second connecting component 13 and the end cap 11 caused by processing errors or temperature changes through its own elastic deformation, thereby achieving a long-term sealing effect.
[0062] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the lamp body 10 and the end cap 11 are connected by a sealing member 16, which can fill the gap between the lamp body 10 and the end cap 11, preventing liquid and solid particles from entering the lamp body 10 and affecting the normal operation of the lamp panel 103. At the same time, the sealing member 16 can offset the gap changes between the lamp body 10 and the end cap 11 caused by processing errors or temperature changes through its own elastic deformation, thereby achieving a long-term sealing effect.
[0063] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, both the first connecting component 12 and the second connecting component 13 shown are provided with hanging holes.
[0064] In this embodiment, the hanging hole is used for the hanging installation of the plant light 1. For example, the hanging hole can be set on the same side as the lens housing to achieve upward illumination of the plant light 1; the hanging hole can also be set on the side opposite to the lens housing to achieve downward illumination of the plant light 1.
[0065] Please see Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment, the plant lamp 1 further includes a support assembly 14, which is connected to the two lamp bodies 10.
[0066] In this embodiment, the support assembly 14 is used to support the lamp body 10 and components directly or indirectly connected to the lamp body 10. Specifically, the support assembly 14 includes a first support member 140, a support connector, and a second support member 141, wherein the second support member 141 is connected to the first support member 140 through the support connector.
[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first support member 140 is provided with a first sliding groove 1400 that matches the wiring groove 1020, and a second sliding groove 1401 that matches the mounting strip 104. The bottom end of the second sliding groove 1401 is a U-shaped sliding groove, and the top end is a semi-U-shaped sliding groove. The second sliding groove 1401 can restrict the limiting block on the mounting strip 104 within the second sliding groove 1401 through the U-shaped sliding groove at the bottom end and the semi-U-shaped sliding groove at the top end, so that the first support member 140 is installed on the lamp body 10 and can slide along the length direction of the lamp body 10. A recessed first mounting opening is provided at the bottom of the first support member 140, away from the first slide groove 1400. A second support member 141 is disposed within the first mounting opening and has a fastening hole. The first support member 140 has a through hole. The first support member 140 and the second support member 141 are connected to the fastening hole via fasteners passing through the through hole to secure the first support member 140 and the second support member 141. A second mounting opening is provided at the bottom of the second support member 141, the shape of which matches the cross-sectional shape of the third support member 142. The second support member 141 is connected to the third support member 142 through the second mounting opening. The third support member 142 is a support column.
[0068] In the above embodiment, after the first support member 140 is fixed to the lamp body 10, subsequent installation only requires cooperation with the second support member 141 and the third support member 142 to achieve the fixed installation of the plant lamp 1, which is simple to operate. At the same time, the provision of a second support member 141 that matches the third support member 142 allows for the replacement of different third support members 142, making it easier and faster to change the installation position of the plant lamp 1. The exterior of the second support member 141 matches the first mounting port. Since the first support member 140 is already fixed to the lamp body 10, there is no need to disassemble the first support member 140. When changing the installation position of the plant lamp 1, only the corresponding second support member 141 and third support member 142 need to be replaced, without disassembling the first support member 140, thus making the installation of the plant lamp 1 more convenient.
[0069] Please see Figure 17 and combined Figures 1 to 16 To provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the contents disclosed in this invention, this invention also provides an installation method for assembling a plant light 1, the method comprising the following steps: The mounting strip 104 at one end of the lamp body 10 is snapped into the second fixing groove 111 of the end cover 11, and the end of the lamp body 10 is made to abut against the third fixing groove 112, so that one end of the lamp body 10 is installed in the end cover 11. Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the mounting strip 104 includes an integrally connected connecting block 1014 and a limiting block 1041, with the limiting block 1041 being perpendicular to the top plane of the first mounting part 100. During installation, the limiting block 1041 engages with the second fixing groove 111.
[0070] The concave side of the lens housing 15 is abutted against the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 101 of the lamp body 10, and the lens housing 15 is slid so that one end of the lens housing 15 abuts against the third fixing groove 112 of the end cover 11, so that one end of the lens housing 15 is installed in the end cover 11. In this embodiment, the lens housing 15 has no fixed structure to the lamp body 10. It is only necessary to abut one side of the concave surface against the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 101 of the lamp body 10. The lens housing 15 can be fixed by the cooperation of the end cap 11 and the lamp body 10. There is no need for a complicated fixed structure, which reduces the complexity of installation, reduces the installation time, and helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the plant lamp 1.
[0071] The second fixing groove 111 of the other end cap 11 is fastened to the mounting strip 104 at the other end of the lamp body 10, and the two end caps 11 are fixed to the lamp body 10 by fasteners.
[0072] In the above embodiment, since the structures of the two end caps 11 and the two lamp bodies 10 are identical, the installation can be completed simply by fixing the end caps 11 to the two ends of the two lamp bodies 10 that are arranged opposite each other along the same axis. The entire installation method is relatively simple. When a single lamp body 10 is damaged, only one end cap 11 needs to be removed to take off the damaged lamp body 10. After replacing the lamp body 10, the end cap 11 is fixed to complete the repair of the lamp body 10. It is not necessary to disassemble and scrap the entire plant light 1, which reduces the maintenance cost of the plant light 1 and effectively solves the problem of high cost caused by the need to replace the entire lamp body 10 when it is damaged in the prior art. Specifically, the fastener can be a bolt.
[0073] In one embodiment, the step of engaging the mounting strip 104 at one end of the lamp body 10 into the second fixing groove 111 of the end cover 11 and making the end of the lamp body 10 abut against the third fixing groove 112, so that one end of the lamp body 10 is installed in the end cover 11, further includes: Place the lamp board 103 in the mounting groove of the lamp body 10, and lead the connecting wire from the lamp board 103 out of the end cap 11 along the wiring groove.
[0074] In one embodiment, the plant light 1 further includes a first connector assembly 12 and a second connector assembly 13, and the installation method further includes: installing the first connector assembly 12 and the second connector assembly 13 on the two end caps 11 respectively.
[0075] In one embodiment, the plant light 1 further includes a sealing member 16, and the installation method further includes installing one of the sealing members 16 between the first connecting assembly 12 and the corresponding end cap 11, and installing the other sealing member 16 between the second connecting assembly 13 and the corresponding end cap 11. The sealing element 16 is provided with a through hole to avoid the corresponding first connector 120 and second connector 130 respectively.
[0076] In one embodiment, when multiple plant lights 1 are installed, the installation method further includes: inserting the first connecting part 1200 and the third connecting part 1300 of adjacent plant lights 1 to achieve electrical connection, and docking the second connecting part 1201 and the fourth connecting part 1301 to achieve mechanical fixation; Specifically, by pressing the button on the first connecting component 12, the push rod drives the elastic mechanism to rotate, thereby completing the docking of the first connecting component 12 and the second connecting component 13; releasing the button resets the elastic mechanism, thereby achieving the locking of the second connecting part 1201 with the fourth connecting part.
[0077] In one embodiment, the plant lamp 1 further includes a support assembly 14, the support assembly 14 including a first support member 140, the first support member 140 being provided with a second sliding groove 1401; before the step of engaging the second fixing groove 111 of the other end cap 11 with the mounting strip 104 at the other end of the lamp body 10, and fixing the two end caps 11 to the lamp body 10 with fasteners, the following steps are also included: The support assembly 14 is mounted on the two lamp bodies 10 via the second slide 1401 and the mounting strip 104.
[0078] In summary, the plant lamp 1 of this application embodiment includes a lamp body 10 and an end cap 11. The two lamp bodies 10 are arranged opposite each other along the same axis, and their ends are aligned along the length direction. The two ends of the two lamp bodies 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the end cap 11 along the length direction. This technical solution adopts a split structure in which two independent lamp bodies 10 are arranged opposite each other along the same axis and fixedly connected by the end cap 11. This breaks down the traditional integral polygonal lamp body 10 into a single replaceable unit. When a single lamp body 10 is damaged, only the corresponding end cap 11 needs to be removed to remove the damaged lamp body 10 and replace it, without the need for the entire unit to be scrapped. At the same time, the two lamp bodies 10 are identical in the split structure, which is conducive to the mass production of parts and reduces the manufacturing cost of a single lamp body 10. This effectively solves the problem of high cost caused by the need to replace the entire lamp body 10 when it is damaged in the prior art.
[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
