Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of outdoor landscape lighting, and in particular to a meteor light strip. Background Technology

[0002] Meteor light strips are typically hung from tree branches, eaves, and other similar locations as outdoor decorative lighting. Their unique visual effect and low cost have led to their widespread use.

[0003] Meteor light strips mainly consist of a transparent tube, a circuit board, LED chips, a positive wire, and a negative wire. The LED chips are mounted on the circuit board, which is located inside the transparent tube. The positive and negative wires are soldered to the circuit board to power the LED chips. Due to the small size of the circuit board, the solder joints of the positive wire and the negative wire can easily come into contact with each other, causing a short circuit.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies require additional insulation between the solder joints of the positive and negative conductors. However, this insulation process not only complicates the manufacturing process of the meteor light strip but also presents significant challenges due to the small size of the circuit board, which results in the solder joints of the positive and negative conductors being very close together. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a meteor light strip to address the lack of a simple method for preventing short circuits during its manufacturing process.

[0006] A meteor light strip, comprising:

[0007] A circuit board extending along a first direction, wherein a first notch and a second notch are provided at one end of the circuit board at intervals.

[0008] The first LED bead is disposed on the circuit board;

[0009] A wire assembly, comprising a first conductor, a second conductor, a first insulating sheath, and a second insulating sheath, wherein the first conductor passes through the middle of the first insulating sheath, and the second conductor passes through the middle of the second insulating sheath;

[0010] One end of the first wire is exposed outside the first insulating sheath and is located at the first notch, and one end of the second wire is exposed outside the second insulating sheath and is located at the second notch, so that the first wire and the second wire are electrically connected to the first LED bead.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the first notch and / or the second notch extend to the side edge of the circuit board.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the circuit board includes an insulating plate, a first conductive circuit, a first conductive medium, and a second conductive medium;

[0013] The first LED bead and the first conductive circuit are located on the front side of the insulating plate. The first LED bead is electrically connected to the first conductive circuit, and the first conductive circuit extends to the edge of the first notch and the edge of the second notch.

[0014] The first conductive medium is disposed on the sidewall of the first notch and extends to the front side of the insulating plate so that the first conductive medium is in contact with the first conductive circuit, and the end of the first wire is soldered to the first conductive medium.

[0015] The second conductive medium is disposed on the sidewall of the second notch and extends to the front side of the insulating plate so that the second conductive medium contacts the first conductive circuit, and the end of the second wire is soldered to the second conductive medium.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the circuit board further includes a second conductive circuit, and the meteor light strip further includes a second LED bead;

[0017] The second conductive circuit and the second LED bead are located on the back side of the insulating plate. The second LED bead is electrically connected to the second conductive circuit, and the second conductive circuit extends to the edge of the first notch and the edge of the second notch.

[0018] The first conductive medium extends to the back side of the insulating plate so that the first conductive medium comes into contact with the second conductive circuit.

[0019] The second conductive medium extends to the back side of the insulating plate so that the second conductive medium comes into contact with the second conductive circuit.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the wire assembly further includes a third conductor, a fourth conductor, a third insulating sheath, and a fourth insulating sheath;

[0021] The third conductor is passed through the middle of the third insulating sheath, and one end of the third conductor is exposed outside the third insulating sheath and welded to the first conductive medium.

[0022] The fourth conductor is threaded through the middle of the fourth insulating sheath, with one end of the fourth conductor exposed outside the fourth insulating sheath and welded to the second conductive medium.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the outer walls of the first insulating sheath and the third insulating sheath are bonded together, and / or the outer walls of the second insulating sheath and the fourth insulating sheath are bonded together.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the meteor light strip further includes a heat shrink sleeve and a transparent sleeve, the wire group is passed through the middle of the heat shrink sleeve, the circuit board is disposed inside the transparent sleeve, and the heat shrink sleeve is disposed at the end of the transparent sleeve.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the width of the circuit board is no greater than 4mm, and the diameter of the transparent sleeve is no greater than 6mm.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the distance between the first notch and the second notch is not less than 1 mm.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the first insulating sheath is located outside the first notch, and the second insulating sheath is located outside the second notch.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0029] The first and second conductor ends are fixed at the first and second notches, respectively, so that the portion of the circuit board between the first and second notches blocks the first and second conductor ends, thereby effectively preventing the first and second conductor ends from contacting and short-circuiting on the circuit board. This anti-short-circuit structure avoids the need for additional insulation between the first and second conductor ends during the fixing process, simplifying the manufacturing process of the meteor light strip.

[0030] Moreover, the first and second notches are more easily identifiable than conventional soldering points. By using the first notch as the fixed position of the first conductor end and the second notch as the fixed position of the second conductor end, the occurrence of deviations in the fixed positions of the first and second conductor ends on the circuit board can be effectively reduced.

[0043] Example:

[0044] This embodiment provides a meteor light strip, including a circuit board, a first LED bead 2, and a wire group 3.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the first LED bead 2 is disposed on a circuit board, which is elongated and extends along a first direction. One end of the circuit board is provided with a first notch 11 and a second notch 12 at intervals.

[0046] The wiring harness 3 includes a first conductor 31, a second conductor 32, a first insulating sheath 33, and a second insulating sheath 34. The first conductor 31 passes through the middle of the first insulating sheath 33, and the second conductor 32 passes through the middle of the second insulating sheath 34. One end of the first conductor 31 is exposed outside the first insulating sheath 33 and is located at the first notch 11, so that the first conductor 31 is electrically connected to the circuit board; one end of the second conductor 32 is exposed outside the second insulating sheath 34 and is located at the second notch 12, so that the second conductor 32 is electrically connected to the circuit board. This design allows the first conductor 31 and the second conductor 32 to be electrically connected to the first LED bead 2 through the circuit board, with the first conductor 31 and the second conductor 32 serving as the positive and negative power supplies for the first LED bead 2, respectively.

[0047] In this embodiment, the ends of the first conductor 31 and the second conductor 32 can be fixed, for example, at the first notch 11 and the second notch 12 respectively by welding. This embodiment eliminates the need for additional insulation between the ends of the first conductor 31 and the second conductor 32 during the welding process. Instead, the circuit board isolates the first conductor 31 and the second conductor 32 by the portion between the first notch 11 and the second notch 12, effectively preventing short circuits on the circuit board. Furthermore, the first notch 11 and the second notch 12 are highly identifiable. Using the first notch 11 as the fixing position for the first conductor 31 and the second notch 12 as the fixing position for the second conductor 32 effectively reduces the occurrence of misalignment between the fixing positions of the first conductor 31 and the second conductor 32 on the circuit board.

[0048] Preferably, the distance between the first notch 11 and the second notch 12 is not less than 1 mm, so as to ensure that the part of the circuit board between the first notch 11 and the second notch 12 can fully block the end of the first conductor 31 and the end of the second conductor 32, and avoid the distance between the end of the first conductor 31 and the end of the second conductor 32 being too small.

[0049] To facilitate fixing the end of the first wire 31 at the first notch 11, the first notch 11 can be extended to the side edge of the circuit board, thereby maximizing the size of the first notch 11. Similarly, to facilitate fixing the end of the second wire 32 at the second notch 12, the second notch 12 can also be extended to the side edge of the circuit board.

[0050] For example, the circuit board in this embodiment includes an insulating board 1, a first conductive circuit (not shown in the figure), a first conductive medium 13, and a second conductive medium 14.

[0051] The first notch 11 and the second notch 12 are located at the ends of the insulating plate 1. In this embodiment, the portion of the insulating plate 1 between the first notch 11 and the second notch 12 blocks the ends of the first conductor 31 and the second conductor 32.

[0052] The first LED bead 2 and the first conductive circuit are located on the front side of the insulating plate 1, so that the first LED bead 2 is electrically connected to the first conductive circuit. The first conductive circuit extends to the edges of the first notch 11 and the second notch 12. A first conductive medium 13 is disposed on the sidewall of the first notch 11 and extends to the front side of the insulating plate 1, so that the first conductive medium 13 contacts the first conductive circuit, thus enabling an electrical connection between the first conductive medium 13 and the first conductive circuit. A second conductive medium 14 is disposed on the sidewall of the second notch 12 and extends to the front side of the insulating plate 1, so that the second conductive medium 14 contacts the first conductive circuit, thus enabling an electrical connection between the second conductive medium 14 and the first conductive circuit. The end of the first wire 31 is soldered to the first conductive medium 13, so that the end of the first wire 31 can be electrically connected to the first LED bead 2 sequentially through the first conductive medium 13 and the first conductive circuit. Similarly, the end of the second wire 32 is soldered to the second conductive medium 14, so that the end of the second wire 32 can be electrically connected to the first LED bead 2 sequentially through the second conductive medium 14 and the first conductive circuit. This enables the first wire 31 and the second wire 32 to safely supply power to the first LED bead 2.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the circuit board in this embodiment also includes a second conductive circuit (not shown in the figure), and the meteor light strip also includes a second LED 4. The second conductive circuit and the second LED 4 are located on the back side of the insulating plate 1, and the second LED 4 is electrically connected to the second conductive circuit. The second conductive circuit also extends to the edges of the first notch 11 and the second notch 12. The first conductive medium 13 extends to the back side of the insulating plate 1 so that the first conductive medium 13 contacts and electrically connects with the second conductive circuit; the second conductive medium 14 extends to the back side of the insulating plate 1 so that the second conductive medium 14 contacts and electrically connects with the second conductive circuit. This design allows the first wire 31 and the second wire 32 to supply power to the second LED 4, and allows the second conductive circuit to achieve electrical connection with the first conductive circuit through the first conductive medium 13 and the second conductive medium 14, thereby reducing the number of vias in the middle of the insulating plate 1 and reducing the processing cost of the circuit board.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the wiring harness 3 in this embodiment further includes a third conductor 35, a fourth conductor 36, a third insulating sheath 37, and a fourth insulating sheath 38. The third conductor 35 passes through the middle of the third insulating sheath 37, with one end of the third conductor 35 exposed outside the third insulating sheath 37 and soldered to the first conductive medium 13; the fourth conductor 36 passes through the middle of the fourth insulating sheath 38, with one end of the fourth conductor 36 exposed outside the fourth insulating sheath 38 and soldered to the second conductive medium 14. This design allows the third conductor 35 and the fourth conductor 36 to be electrically connected to both the first LED bead 2 and the second LED bead 4.

[0055] In this embodiment, the third wire 35 and the fourth wire 36 can also serve as power lines for the first LED 2 and the second LED 4, thereby increasing the power supply received by the first LED 2 and the second LED 4. In other embodiments, the third wire 35 and the fourth wire 36 can serve as control lines to output control signals to the first LED 2 and the second LED 4, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the first LED 2 and the second LED 4.

[0056] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the first insulating sheath 33 and the outer wall of the third insulating sheath 37 can be bonded together to shorten the distance between the end of the first conductor 31 and the end of the third conductor 35, so as to facilitate the simultaneous welding of the end of the first conductor 31 and the end of the third conductor 35 onto the first conductive medium 13.

[0057] Similarly, in some embodiments, the outer walls of the second insulating sheath 34 and the fourth insulating sheath 38 can be bonded together to shorten the distance between the ends of the second conductor 32 and the fourth conductor 36, so as to facilitate the simultaneous welding of the ends of the second conductor 32 and the fourth conductor 36 onto the second conductive medium 14.

[0058] Preferably, the first insulating sleeve 33 and the third insulating sleeve 37 are located outside the first notch 11 to avoid interference with the welding process of the ends of the first conductor 31 and the third conductor 35. Similarly, the second insulating sleeve 34 and the fourth insulating sleeve 38 are located outside the second notch 12 to avoid interference with the welding process of the ends of the second conductor 32 and the fourth conductor 36.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the meteor light strip in this embodiment also includes a heat shrink sleeve 5 and a transparent sleeve 6. The transparent sleeve 6 also extends along the first direction, the circuit board is disposed inside the transparent sleeve 6, the heat shrink sleeve 5 is disposed at the end of the transparent sleeve 6, and the wire group 3 passes through the middle of the heat shrink sleeve 5.

[0060] To enhance the visual effect of the meteor light strip, this embodiment, while ensuring that the distance between the first notch 11 and the second notch 12 is not less than 1mm, further ensures that the width of the circuit board is not greater than 4mm, and the diameter of the transparent sleeve 6 is not greater than 6mm. Furthermore, because the diameter of the transparent sleeve 6 is small, the deformation of the transparent sleeve 6 is smaller during the heating process of the heat-shrink sleeve 5, allowing the heat-shrink sleeve 5 to form a tighter contact with the transparent sleeve 6, thus improving the waterproof performance of the end of the transparent sleeve 6.

[0061] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0062] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
