[0042] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a light bar system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0043] The present embodiment provides a light bar system, which can change shape according to user needs to form a preset shape, so that when the light bar system is lit at night, the preset pattern can present a prominent and dazzling effect.

[0044] Specifically, the light bar system includes a plurality of light bars 20 arranged in sequence and a connector 30 located between two adjacent light bars 20 and electrically connecting the two adjacent light bars 20 and conducting signals. Both ends of the connector 30 are electrically connected and signal connected to the light bars 20 on the corresponding sides, respectively, and the angle between the light bar 20 and the connector 30 can be adjusted 360°, so that the angle between the two adjacent light bars 20 can be adjusted according to a preset angle, thereby making the overall shape a preset pattern.

[0045] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a transmission structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a connector provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0046] In an achievable embodiment of the utility model, the light bar 20 and the connector 30 can be electrically connected and signal-conducted through the transmission structure 10. The transmission structure 10 includes a female component 100 and a male component 200. Among them, the female component 100 includes a first insulating ring 110, a first conductive sheet 120 and a plurality of second insulating rings 130, the first insulating ring 110 and the second insulating ring 130 are in annular shape, the diameters of the plurality of second insulating rings 130 are different, and they are evenly spaced and sleeved inside the first insulating ring 110, a plurality of second insulating coils 112 are concentrically arranged with the first insulating ring 110, a first accommodating groove 111 is formed between the first insulating ring 110 and the second insulating ring 130, and a first accommodating groove 111 is formed between two adjacent second insulating rings 130; the inner side wall of the first insulating ring 110 is provided with a first conductive sheet 120, and the inner side wall and the outer side wall of the second insulating ring 130 are both provided with the first conductive sheet 120. Correspondingly, the male component 200 includes a plurality of annular conductive rings 210, and the plurality of annular conductive rings 210 are arranged concentrically. When the male component 200 is coupled with the female component 100, the conductive ring 210 is inserted into the first receiving groove 111, and the conductive ring 210 abuts against the first conductive sheet 120. In this embodiment, some of the first conductive sheets 120 are electrode terminals for transmitting electric energy, and the corresponding conductive rings 210 also transmit electric energy, and other first conductive sheets 120 are signal terminals for transmitting signals, and the corresponding conductive rings 210 also transmit signals, so that the transmission structure 10 can transmit both electric energy and indication signals.

[0047] In the present application, since the cross-sections of the male component 200 and the female component 100 are both circular, electrical conduction and signal conduction can be achieved even if the male component 200 rotates with the female component 100. Therefore, the male component 200 and the female component 100 can be adjusted at all angles to make two adjacent light strips 20 present a preset shape, which is not only easy to operate but also requires fewer parts and has low cost.

[0048] It is understandable that the more the number of first conductive sheets 120, the larger the contact area between the conductive ring 210 and the first conductive sheet 120, the greater the amount of electrical energy or signal energy that can be transmitted, and the more the number of first conductive sheets 120, the more the second insulating rings 130 that carry the first conductive sheets 120, so that the volume of the female head component 100 is larger and less beautiful. In the present application, the first conductive sheets 120 are provided on both the inner and outer side walls of the second insulating ring 130, so that the number of the second insulating rings 130 can be reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the female head component 100.

[0049] When the male component 200 is coupled with the female component 100, the first insulating ring 110 is located on the outside, which can isolate electrical conduction and avoid the risk of electric shock. The second insulating ring 130 can prevent the first conductive sheets 120 on both sides from affecting each other. It can be understood that if the first conductive sheets 120 on both sides of the second insulating ring 130 accidentally come into contact or are electrically conductive, a short circuit will occur. Since the second insulating ring 130 is made of insulating material, the first conductive sheets 120 on both sides of the second insulating ring 130 are isolated from each other, avoiding short circuits and ensuring the normal operation of the connector 30.

[0050] As an optional solution, the first insulating ring 110 and the second insulating ring 130 can be made of the same material, and the material can be insulating plastic or metal-coated insulating material, such as copper-coated plastic. As long as the insulation properties are guaranteed, this implementation does not make specific limitations. In this embodiment, the two circles of first conductive sheets 120 in one of the first receiving grooves 111 are the positive pole of the conductive terminal. The two circles of first conductive sheets 120 in one of the first receiving grooves 111 are the negative pole of the conductive terminal. The innermost first conductive sheet 120 and the two circles of first conductive sheets 120 in one of the first receiving grooves 111 are signal terminals for transmitting signals, that is, the three circles of first conductive sheets 120 are signal terminals for transmitting signals, thereby ensuring the conduction of both electrical energy and signals.

[0051] In order to ensure that the conductive ring 210 and the first conductive sheet 120 are always in a fitted state after the male component 200 is coupled with the female component 100, as a feasible embodiment, the first conductive sheet 120 is a crown spring, and the crown spring has a certain elasticity. The conductive ring 210 needs to give the crown spring a deformation force under the action of a certain external force so that the crown spring can be inserted into the first receiving groove 111 after deformation. When the conductive ring 210 is located in the first receiving groove 111, the crown spring can always be tightly fitted with the conductive ring 210 under the action of its own elastic force, which can not only ensure the fitting state with the conductive ring 210, but also prevent the conductive ring 210 from being separated from the first receiving groove 111 due to non-human factors, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the male component 200 and the female component 100.

[0052] In order to ensure that the conductive ring 210 has a relatively good conduction capability after being attached to the first conductive sheet 120, as a feasible embodiment, the conductive ring is made of copper, which has good conductivity. Of course, the conductive ring can also be made of other conductive materials.

[0053] When the male component 200 and the female component 100 are not coupled, in order to avoid the risk of electric shock caused by touching the end of the female component 100, in some achievable embodiments of the present invention, the first conductive sheet 120 is lower than the free ends of the first insulating ring 110 and the second insulating ring 130, so that the end of the female component 100 is an insulating material not covered by the first conductive sheet 120, thereby effectively preventing electric shock and ensuring the health of the operator.

[0054] As an achievable embodiment, an achievable structure of the transmission structure 10 is that the transmission structure 10 also includes a locking assembly 300, and the locking assembly 300 is located on the male component 200 or the female component 100. The locking assembly 300 can lock or unlock the male component 200 and the female component 100 at a preset angle to ensure that the position of the light bar 20 and the connector 30 will not change after the angle is adjusted into place, and the male component 200 and the female component 100 will not detach from each other.

[0055] For more information, see Figure 2, taking the locking assembly 300 located on the male component 200 as an example, the locking assembly 300 includes an operating clamping rod 310 and a reset member 320, wherein the operating clamping rod 310 is disposed in the center of the male component 200, one end of the operating clamping rod 310 has a clamping block 311, and the other end extends to the outside. The reset member 320 is located between the operating clamping rod 310 and the male component 200, and the clamping rod can move within the resettable stroke of the reset member 320. The female component 100 has a receiving groove 1121 in the center to accommodate the operating clamping rod 310, and a plurality of clamping holes 1122 are arranged in a circumferentially spaced array on the groove wall of the receiving groove 1121, and the clamping block 311 cooperates with the clamping hole 1122. The other end of the operating clamping rod 310 is a button 312. Pushing the button 312 can drive the operating clamping rod 310 to compress the reset member 320 and move in the direction of the thrust, so that the block 311 can be disengaged from the clamping hole 1122. At this time, the male component 200 and the female component 100 are unlocked, and the male component 200 can be separated from the female component 100. When it is necessary to connect the male component 200 and the female component 100 together, push the button 312 so that the operating clamping rod 310 compresses the reset member 320 until the clamping slot and the block 311 do not interfere, insert the male component 200 into the female component 100, and rotate the connector 30 to adjust the position between the connector 30 and the light bar 20 until the angle is adjusted to the right position, and then release the button 312. The reset member 320 drives the operating clamping rod 310 to reset under the action of its own elastic reset force, so that the block 311 is clamped in the clamping slot. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0056] It should be noted that since the groove wall of the accommodating groove 1121 is provided with a plurality of slots on the circumference of the card block 311, the number of the slots is as large as possible within the accommodating range of the inner circle of the groove wall. Therefore, after the position is adjusted, the card block 311 can correspond to a slot, thereby realizing the card connection and locking of the male head component 200 and the female head component 100.

[0057] As an achievable embodiment, an achievable structure of the operating clamping rod 310 is that the operating clamping rod 310 includes a penetration portion 313, and a button 312 and a clamping block 311 connected to both ends of the penetration portion 313 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the button 312 and the clamping block 311 are both perpendicular to the penetration portion 313, and the structure is simple. Correspondingly, a penetration hole 211 is provided on the male component, and the operating clamping rod 310 is penetrated in the penetration hole 211.

[0058] As an optional solution, the number of reset members 320 can be greater than one. In this embodiment, there are two reset members 320, which are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the penetration portion 313, so as to ensure the stability of the movement of the operating clamping rod 310. The number of reset members 320 is not specifically limited in this embodiment, as long as it meets the structural requirements.

[0059] Of course, the locking assembly 300 may also be another structure, for example, a plurality of sub-screws are arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the male component 200, and a female buckle is arranged on the outer periphery of the female component 100. When the angle is adjusted to the right position, the sub-screws are engaged with the female buckles at the corresponding positions to lock the female component 100 and the male component 200. As long as the locking and unlocking between the female component 100 and the male component 200 can be achieved, this embodiment is not specifically limited.

[0060] It should be noted that the connection between the connector 30 and the light bar 20 is in series. Therefore, in order to achieve electrical conduction and signal conduction, the connector 30 and the light bar 20 are both provided with a male component 200 at one end and a female component 100 at the other end. The male component 200 at one end of the connector 30 is coupled with the female component 100 at one end of the light bar 20, and the female component 100 at the other end of the connector 30 is coupled with the male component 200 of another light bar 20, thereby forming a light bar system.

[0061] In order to achieve electrical conduction between the male component 200 and the female component 100 located on the connector 30 or the light strip 20, a conductive piece 301 is provided on the connector 30 and the light strip 20. The male component 200 and the female component 100 are arranged at the two ends of the conductive piece 301 in a one-to-one correspondence. The conductive piece 301 is a PCB board with a simple structure and low cost.

[0062] Furthermore, the light strip 20 also includes a lamp bead 201, which is arranged in the center of the PCB board. The current or signal passes through the lamp bead 201 when flowing from the male component 200 and the female component 100 of the light strip 20, thereby powering the lamp bead 201, or sending an indication signal to the lamp bead 201 to make the lamp bead 201 light up with a light preset by the user.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
