The heat dissipation ports 12 can be used to dissipate the heat inside the waterproof shell 1 to the outside. A heat dissipation component is arranged on the waterproof shell 1, and the heat dissipation component can cooperate with the heat dissipation port 12 to allow the heat inside the waterproof shell 1 to be discharged to the outside. The two waterproof shells 1 are provided with a heat dissipation component. The heat dissipation component can cooperate with the heat dissipation port 12 to allow the heat inside the waterproof shell 1 to be discharged to the outside. A sealing component is arranged between the waterproof shells 1, and the sealing component can prevent external rainwater from entering the interior of the waterproof shell 1; by providing a heat dissipation component, the two waterproof shells 1 can protect the driver body 8 from the outside of the driver body 8, and at the same time, the waterproof shell 1 can cooperate with the heat dissipation component to ensure that the driver body 8 inside the waterproof shell 1 can dissipate heat normally when working inside the waterproof shell 1, and at the same time, it can ensure that external rainwater is prevented from entering while dissipating heat normally. At the same time, a sealing component is arranged between the two waterproof shells 1, and the sealing component can seal and protect the interface position of the conductive wire 9 and the external power supply and the light strip at the connection position to prevent the problem of moisture and short circuit at the interface caused by rainwater.
[0022] Furthermore, the heat dissipation component includes a rotating sleeve 3, a counterweight 4, a vent 5 and a ball 10. There are two rotating sleeves 3, and the two rotating sleeves 3 are movably connected to the outside of the waterproof shell 1. The two rotating sleeves 3 are fixed to each other by a fixing component. The two counterweights 4 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of one of the rotating sleeves 3. The counterweight 4 can increase the weight from the outside of the rotating sleeve 3 to make it rotate downward and keep the counterweight 4 in a vertical downward state. The vent 5 is opened on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 3 provided with the counterweight 4. The vent 5 and the counterweight 4 are located on the same straight line. The vent 5 is a through hole. The ball 10 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 3.

While protecting the driver body 8, the cooperation of the vent 5 and the heat dissipation port 12 can ensure that the heat inside the waterproof shell 1 can be dissipated to the outside. At the same time, the rotating sleeve 3 is rotated outside the waterproof shell 1 and cooperates with the counterweight 4 to ensure that the rotating sleeve 3 is always in a vertical downward state. At this time, the vent 5 always remains vertically downward facing the ground and is used in conjunction with the heat dissipation port 12 to prevent external rainwater from entering the waterproof shell 1 and causing poor safety.
[0023] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes a sealing ring 6, a card slot 15 and a sealing strip 16. Four sealing rings 6 are fixedly installed at both ends of the outer walls of the two waterproof shells 1. The sealing ring 6 is a semicircular ring structure and is made of rubber.

The spring 13 is fixedly installed inside the positioning short shaft 11. One end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the clamping shaft 14. By providing a fixing component, when the two rotating sleeves 3 are fitted against each other, the clamping shaft 14 can be clamped into the other rotating sleeve 3 under the elastic force of the spring 13 to achieve rapid fixation of the two rotating sleeves 3.
[0025] Furthermore, positioning strips 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of 1, and the two positioning strips 2 are located on both sides of the rotating sleeve 3. The two positioning strips 2 can limit the rotating sleeve 3, and the positioning strips 2 on the two waterproof shells 1 are fixed to each other by buckles 7; by providing the positioning strips 2 and the buckles 7, the positioning strips 2 and the buckles 7 can realize the fixation between the two waterproof shells 1 to facilitate the opening and closing of the two waterproof shells 1.
[0026] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the light strip is used outdoors, the connector of the light strip and the external power supply is connected to the conductive wire 9, and the connector is placed between the two waterproof shells 1 for protection. The two waterproof shells 1 are closed and cooperated with the card slot 15, the sealing strip 16 and the sealing ring 6 to protect the connector between the two waterproof shells 1 and seal it. While the two waterproof shells 1 protect the driver body 8 from the outside, the cooperation of the vent 5 and the heat dissipation port 12 ensures that the heat inside the waterproof shell 1 can be dissipated to the outside. At the same time, the rotating sleeve 3 is rotated outside the waterproof shell 1 and cooperates with the counterweight 4 so that the rotating sleeve 3 is always in a vertical downward state. At this time, the vent 5 always remains vertically downward facing the ground and is used in conjunction with the heat dissipation port 12 to prevent external rainwater from entering the waterproof shell 1.
