Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fluorescent lamp, and more particularly to an LED fluorescent lamp suitable for outdoor use. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor billboards are equipped with lighting sources, primarily fluorescent lamps, but these are prone to short circuits in rainy weather. To address this issue, a utility model patent (CN216844604U) entitled "A Waterproof Lamp Tube" discloses a waterproof lamp tube, comprising: a waterproof plug, a vent plug, and a light source component. The light source component includes a glass tube, with the waterproof plug and vent plug fixed to both ends of the glass tube. The waterproof plug includes: a waterproof connector body, a claw, a waterproof ring, and a clamping nut. The waterproof connector body is fixed to the end of the glass tube and has external threads. The claw is fixedly connected to the inside of the external threads, or the claw is integrally formed on the end of the external threads. The waterproof ring is placed inside the claw. The clamping nut tightly engages with the external threads to compress the claw, causing the waterproof ring to contract and compress the power cord. While this design provides some waterproofing, its complex structure and low assembly efficiency make it impractical. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an outdoor waterproof LED fluorescent tube that is waterproof, easy to assemble, and has a short assembly time.

[0004] This invention relates to an outdoor waterproof LED fluorescent tube, comprising a tube with elastic silicone plugs at both ends, an LED light panel installed inside the tube, a power supply fixedly connected to the LED light panel, the power supply being encapsulated inside the tube, and an external power cord connected to the power supply; the power cord passes through an elastic silicone plug and can be connected to an external power source; the power cord and the elastic silicone plug are interference-fitted, and the elastic silicone plug and the tube are also interference-fitted; a clamping layer extends from the end of the elastic silicone plug toward the tube, which covers the outer wall of the tube; a heat-shrink tubing is also present at both ends of the tube, completely covering the silicone plug, and the power cord passes through the heat-shrink tubing.

[0005] The power cord is also secured to the lamp tube with tape or plastic sealant.

[0006] The length of the clamping layer is preferably 0.1-3 cm.

[0007] The encapsulation layer is applied using a plastic sealer.

[0008] The outdoor waterproof LED fluorescent tubes described above have the characteristics of good waterproof performance, simple structure, convenient production and installation, and low production cost. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0016] Example 1:

[0017] according to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the external waterproof LED fluorescent tube of the present invention includes a tube 5, with elastic silicone plugs 2 and 6 respectively provided at both ends of the tube. An LED light board 4 is installed inside the tube, and an encapsulated power supply 3 is fixedly connected to the LED light board 4. The encapsulated power supply 3 is encapsulated inside the tube 5, and an external power cord 1 is connected to the encapsulated power supply 3. The power cord 1 passes through an elastic silicone plug 2 and can be connected to an external power source. The power cord 1 and the elastic silicone plug are interference-fitted, and the elastic silicone plug and the tube are interference-fitted. A clamping layer extends from the end of the elastic silicone plug toward the tube, and the clamping layer is used to cover the outer wall of the tube. A heat-shrinkable sleeve 7 is also plastic-sealed at both ends of the tube, completely covering the silicone plug, and the power cord passes through the heat-shrinkable sleeve.
