Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of light strip connectors, in particular to a novel light strip connector. Background Art

[0002] A light strip refers to a light source assembled on a strip-shaped FPC (flexible circuit board) or PCB hard board, which is shaped like a strip. Light strips are popular among consumers because of their long service life, energy saving and green environmental protection, and are also being used more and more widely.

[0003] Since the lamp beads are densely arranged in the high-density light strip, if the high-density light strip is installed at a right-angle corner, the high-density light strip needs to be bent, which will damage the bent lamp beads, resulting in the high-density light strip being unusable at the right-angle corner. Therefore, a light strip connector is required for connection. The light strip connectors currently on the market are not adequate. For example, the patent with application number CN202322018983.9 discloses a light strip corner connector. When the second light strip is pierced and connected during use, the corresponding sawtooth distribution of the pierced second light strip is not in a parallel position. When actually pierced, the second light strip is prone to short circuit or poor electrical connection. Therefore, we propose a new light strip connector. Utility Model Content

[0029] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-Figure 9 The utility model is a new type of light strip connector including a base 1, a first connecting needle 10, a second connecting needle 15 and a folding cover 22. The base 1 is provided with a first connecting needle groove 7, a second connecting needle groove 3 and a plurality of material shortage grooves 5. The first connecting needle groove 7 is fixedly installed with the first connecting needle 10 in the inner cavity, and the second connecting needle groove 3 is fixedly installed with the second connecting needle 15 in the inner cavity.

[0030] The first connecting needle 10 is shaped like a long Arabic numeral seven. A first fixing needle 18 and a second fixing needle 17 are provided on one side of the first connecting needle 10, and a third fixing needle 14 and a fourth fixing needle 13 are provided on the other side of the first connecting needle 10. Positioning blocks 12 are provided on both sides of the first connecting needle 10. After the first connecting needle 10 is inserted into the first connecting needle groove 7, it is fixed by the positioning block 12.

[0031] The second connecting needle 15 is shaped like a short Arabic numeral seven. A fifth fixing needle 8 and a sixth fixing needle 9 are provided on one side of the second connecting needle 15, and a seventh fixing needle 11 and an eighth fixing needle 16 are provided on the other side of the second connecting needle 15. Positioning blocks 23 are provided on both sides of the second connecting needle 15. After the second connecting needle 15 is inserted into the second connecting needle groove 3, it is fixed by the positioning block 23. After the first connecting needle 10 and the second connecting needle 15 are inserted into the corresponding first connecting needle groove 7 and the second connecting needle groove 3, the positions of the third fixing needle 14 and the eighth fixing needle 16 are in horizontal parallel positions, and the positions of the fourth fixing needle 13 and the seventh fixing needle 11 are in horizontal parallel positions. When puncturing the second light strip, the parallelism of the puncture positions is guaranteed, and the puncture completely guarantees the connection reliability and avoids short circuits.

[0032] Limiting blocks 4 are arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the base 1. The base 1 is provided with limiting blocks 4 for limiting the insertion positions of the first light strip and the second light strip. The first light strip light source limiting groove 19 and the second light strip light source limiting groove 21 are arranged under the folding cover 22 to ensure the accuracy of the insertion positions of the first light strip and the second light strip, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the puncture.

[0033] A first light strip light source limiting groove 19 is provided below one end of the folding cover 22, and a second light strip light source limiting groove 21 is provided below the other end of the folding cover 22. The first light strip light source limiting groove 19 is used for limiting the first light strip, and the second light strip light source limiting groove 21 is used for limiting the second light strip.
