Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of LED processing technology, and more specifically to a light strip and its processing method. Background Technology

[0002] LED light strips are light strips formed by assembling LEDs onto a strip-shaped FPC flexible circuit board or PCB rigid board. They have a long lifespan, are energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and are gradually emerging in various decorative industries. Flexible LED light strips, in particular, can be cut, bent, folded, rolled, and extended at will without affecting their light emission. They are suitable for combining various patterns and have broad application prospects. However, because LEDs are static-sensitive components, the LED beads in the light strip are easily damaged during long-term use, causing them to stop emitting light and reducing the light strip's effectiveness. However, to maintain a sealed design, replacing LED beads in specific areas is difficult; repairs often require cutting and replacing the strip by a unit length, and some light strips are firmly fixed, making replacement even more challenging. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a light strip and its processing method, the beneficial effect of which is that the present invention can replace and repair the light beads without replacing the light strip.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A method for processing LED strip lights includes the following steps:

[0006] S1: Install a flexible protective plate on the underside of the FPC board;

[0007] S2: Install a fixing device on the upper side of the FPC board;

[0008] S3: Install LED beads on the FPC board to obtain a semi-finished unfolded light strip;

[0009] S4: The semi-finished LED strip is placed into the processing equipment for processing and winding to obtain the semi-finished LED strip;

[0010] S5: Install a support device and controller on the semi-finished light strip to obtain the finished light strip.

[0011] In step S1, the flexible protective plate is an anti-static, anti-aging, transparent, flexible material.

[0012] In step S2, the fixing device can detachably fix the flexible protective plate.

[0013] In step S5, the support device can slide back and forth on the fixed device.

[0014] In step S5, the two support devices are symmetrically arranged.

[0015] In step S5, the controller can control the LED beads to blink or emit light as required.

[0016] In step S5, the internal processing surface of the processing equipment is a tapered surface that is wider at the front and narrower at the back.

[0017] A light strip includes an FPC board, a fixing device fixed to the upper side of the FPC board, a flexible protective plate fixed to the lower side of the FPC board, a plurality of LED beads installed on the FPC board, support devices slidably connected to both sides of the fixing device, and a controller fixed to the FPC board.

[0018] The fixing device has a fixing groove, and the flexible protective plate has a fixing strip corresponding to the fixing groove.

[0019] Both of the aforementioned support devices include a rotating inner plate, a fixed inner plate, a rotating outer plate, and a fixed outer plate. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the rotating inner plate, and a fixed inner plate is slidably connected to the connecting rod. The rotating inner plate and the fixed inner plate are respectively connected to the rotating outer plate and the fixed outer plate via two magnetic snaps. A handle is fixedly attached to the rotating outer plate. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Figure 10 A structural diagram of the support device from another angle. Detailed Implementation

[0031] A method for processing LED strip lights includes the following steps:

[0032] S1: Install flexible protective plate 010 on the underside of FPC board 000;

[0033] S2: Install fixing device 020 on the upper side of FPC board 000;

[0034] S3: Install LED beads 030 on FPC board 000 to obtain a semi-finished unfolded light strip;

[0035] S4: The semi-finished LED strip is placed into the processing equipment for processing and winding to obtain the semi-finished LED strip;

[0036] S5: Install the support device 040 and controller 050 on the semi-finished light strip to obtain the finished light strip.

[0037] When the finished light strip needs to be put into use, the semi-finished light strip can be cut into the corresponding length as needed, and then support devices 040 are installed on both sides of the semi-finished light strip, and controller 050 is installed on one side of the semi-finished light strip. This allows the finished light strip to be adapted and assembled, and then fixed in the installation position. This allows the finished light strip to be adapted and installed, and thus put into normal use.

[0038] Meanwhile, when some of the LED beads 030 inside the finished light strip are damaged, the flexible protective plate 010 can be opened through the two support devices 040, which makes it convenient for staff to replace or repair the LED beads 030, thus avoiding the waste of resources and cost losses caused by replacing the entire light strip. Then, the flexible protective plate 010 can be closed through the support devices 040, so that the light strip that has been replaced or repaired can be restored to its original state, thus providing convenience for the continued use of the replaced or repaired light strip.

[0039] In step S1, the flexible protective plate 010 is an anti-static, anti-aging, transparent, flexible material; thus ensuring that the finished light strip can be bent and rolled at will during use without affecting its light emission.

[0040] Meanwhile, anti-static materials can prevent external static electricity from affecting LED beads 030, thereby reducing the frequency of abnormal damage to LED beads 030 during use and extending the lifespan of LED beads 030.

[0041] In step S2, the fixing device 020 can detachably fix the flexible protective plate 010;

[0042] When it is necessary to replace or repair the damaged LED beads 030 in the finished light strip, the flexible protective plate 010 can be removed from the fixing device 020, thereby exposing the LED beads 030 inside the flexible protective plate 010. This allows the LED beads 030 to be replaced or repaired without replacing the light strip, thus avoiding the inconvenience of disassembling the light strip and providing convenience for the maintenance of the light strip in use.

[0043] Meanwhile, the fixed flexible protective plate 010 ensures that the inside of the finished light strip is not connected to the outside, thus ensuring the airtightness of the finished light strip and preventing damage during use.

[0044] In step S5, the support device 040 can slide back and forth on the fixing device 020. Therefore, when it is necessary to replace or repair a damaged LED bead 030 in a specific part of the finished light strip, the movement of the support device 040 on the fixing device 020 can restrict the flexible protective plate 010, thereby preventing the flexible protective plate 010 from completely separating from the LED bead 030. This also prevents the repair of the LED bead 030 from affecting other parts of the finished light strip and thus affecting other undamaged LED beads 030.

[0045] In step S5, the two support devices 040 are symmetrically arranged.

[0046] In step S5, the controller 050 can control the LED beads 030 to blink or emit light as required.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown:

[0048] In step S5, the internal processing surface of the processing equipment is a tapered surface that is wider at the front and narrower at the back.

[0049] This allows the flexible protective plate 010 to be limited and squeezed by the conical surface when the semi-finished light strip is processed by the processing equipment. This enables the flexible protective plate 010 to be fastened to the fixing device 020, ensuring that the flexible protective plate 010 can completely cover the LED beads 030 inside and will not separate under bending or winding. The flexible protective plate 010 can protect and seal the LED beads 030, ensuring that the LED beads 030 can be used normally in long-term working environment, and thus ensuring the stability of the finished light strip for long-term use.

[0050] like Figure 6-7 As shown:

[0051] A light strip includes an FPC board 000, a fixing device 020 is bonded to the upper side of the FPC board 000, a flexible protective plate 010 is bonded to the lower side of the FPC board, a plurality of LED beads 030 are installed on the FPC board 000, support devices 040 are slidably connected to both sides of the fixing device 020, a controller 050 is connected to the FPC board 000 by screws, and the flexible protective plate 010 is snapped onto the fixing device 020;

[0052] When the finished light strip is installed normally, the two support devices 040 are respectively set on both sides of the FPC board 000, so as to avoid the support devices 040 and the controller 050 interfering with the deformation of the finished light strip when it is bent or rolled up for installation, thereby ensuring that the finished light strip can be installed in the predetermined position and used normally.

[0053] When the finished light strip is in normal use, the controller 050 can be connected to the power supply via the connecting cable. The controller 050 can then control the FPC board 000, which in turn controls the corresponding LED beads 030. This allows the LED beads 030 to flash or emit light as required, thus adjusting the effect of the finished light strip and enabling it to provide various lighting effects according to needs, thereby expanding the application range of the finished light strip.

[0054] When some LED beads 030 inside the finished light strip malfunctions, the sliding support device 040 can be moved to both sides of the malfunctioning LED bead 030. Then, the two support devices 040 can be activated, thereby opening the flexible protective plate 010 located between the two support devices 040. This allows the malfunctioning LED bead 030 located between the two support devices 040 to be removed or replaced, thus completing the replacement or maintenance of some malfunctioning LED beads 030. Then, the support device 040 can be closed, and the support device 040 can be controlled to slide on the FPC board 000 located at the open position of the flexible protective plate 010. This allows the opened flexible protective plate 010 to be re-clamped onto the fixing device 020, thereby restoring the seal inside the finished light strip. Then, the two support devices 040 can be moved back to their original positions, thus preventing the support devices 040 from blocking the light emitted by the finished light strip during normal use.

[0055] like Figure 8 As shown:

[0056] The fixing device 020 has a fixing groove 021, and the flexible protective plate 010 is provided with a fixing strip 011 corresponding to the fixing groove 021. The fixing device 020 is made of a high-toughness material. Thus, the fixing device 020 and the flexible protective plate 010 can be connected by fastening the fixing strip 011 with the fixing groove 021. At the same time, since the fixing device 020 is made of a high-toughness material, the fastening force can be maintained during the repeated fastening of the fixing strip 011 and the fixing groove 021, thereby preventing the finished light strip from losing its sealing performance during long-term use and frequent maintenance.

[0057] like Figure 9-10 As shown:

[0058] Both of the aforementioned support devices 040 include a rotating inner plate 110, a fixed inner plate 120, a rotating outer plate 140, and a fixed outer plate 150. A connecting rod 130 is rotatably connected to the rotating inner plate 110, and a fixed inner plate 120 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 130. The rotating inner plate 110 and the fixed inner plate 120 are connected to the rotating outer plate 140 and the fixed outer plate 150 respectively via two magnetic snaps 160. A handle 170 is welded to the rotating outer plate 140. The rotating inner plate 110 and the fixed inner plate 120 are located on the lower side of the flexible protective plate 010, and the rotating outer plate 140 and the fixed outer plate 150 are located on the upper side of the flexible protective plate 010. The flexible protective plate 010 is sandwiched between the rotating inner plate 110 and the rotating outer plate 140, and between the fixed inner plate 120 and the fixed outer plate 150.

[0059] When the support device 040 is needed to open the flexible protective plate 010, the user can move the support device 040 to a predetermined position by moving the rotating outer plate 140 and the fixed outer plate 150. Then, the user can pull the rotating outer plate 140 upward by using the handle 170. This will cause the rotating outer plate 140 to drive the rotating inner plate 110 to rotate around the connecting rod 130 as an axis. This will cause the flexible protective plate 010, which is sandwiched between the rotating inner plate 110 and the rotating outer plate 140, to rotate. This will allow the flexible protective plate 010 located on one side of the rotating inner plate 110 and the rotating outer plate 140 to separate from the fixed device 020. This will allow the support device 040 to complete the work of opening the flexible protective plate 010.

[0060] When the support device 040 is needed to close the flexible protective plate 010, the user can reset the rotating outer plate 140 using the handle 170. This allows the rotating outer plate 140 to drive the rotating inner plate 110 to rotate around the connecting rod 130, thereby resetting the flexible protective plate 010 sandwiched between the rotating inner plate 110 and the rotating outer plate 140. Then, any one of the support devices 040 on the light strip can be moved through the area where the flexible protective plate 010 is separated from the fixing device 020. This allows the fixing inner plate 120 and the fixing outer plate 150 to press and adjust the flexible protective plate 010 sandwiched between them, allowing the flexible protective plate 010 to be re-clamped and fixed onto the fixing device 020. Finally, the two support devices 040 can be reset, allowing the support devices 040 to complete the work of closing the flexible protective plate 010.

[0061] Meanwhile, the user can push the rotating outer plate 140 towards the inside of the finished light strip according to the degree of aging of the flexible protective plate 010, thereby separating the rotating outer plate 140 from the fixed outer plate 150. This allows the corresponding rotating inner plate 110 to be separated from the fixed inner plate 120 by rotating the outer plate 140 and the fixed outer plate 150, thus preventing the flexible protective plate 010 from aging during long-term use and causing the flexible protective plate 010 in the area to be opened to be unable to be fully opened.
