DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientation, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0032] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a connection component connected to a light bar, the connection component 1 comprising a male connector 101, a female connector 102, a wire 103 and a plurality of pin connectors 104, the male connector 101 and the female connector 102 are respectively arranged at both ends of the wire 103, a plurality of the pin connectors 104 are arranged on the wire 103 at intervals, the pin connector 104 is provided with a through hole 1041, the light bar 2 is provided with a hollow protrusion 201, and the hollow protrusion 201 is fixedly connected to the pin connector 104 through a fixing member;

[0034] During assembly of the present application, only two fixing parts are needed to fix the light bar 2 and the pin connector 104. This connection is not only simple and convenient, but also improves the assembly efficiency. By providing a hollow protrusion 201 on the light bar 2, the hollow protrusion 201 is fixedly connected to the through hole 1041, and the fixing parts are not in direct contact with the internal accessories of the light bar 2. This can prevent the fixing parts from damaging the internal accessories of the light bar 2 when the light bar 2 is impacted, and can also reduce the risk of electric shock.

[0035] Optionally, the fixing member may be a bolt, a stud, a screw, etc., which is not limited in the present application and those skilled in the art may make a selection according to actual needs.

[0036] See also Figure 3The pin connector 104 includes a waterproof ring 1042 and a pin 1044. A first mounting groove 1043 is arranged at the bottom of the pin connector 104. The pin 1044 is arranged in the first mounting groove 1043. The waterproof ring 1042 is fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 1043. The pin connector 1044 is fixedly connected to the light bar 2 through the pin 1044. Once the light bar 2 and the connecting component 1 are immersed in water, water may flow into the inside of the light bar along the gap between the pin and the light bar 2 and affect the quality of the light bar 2. The waterproof ring 1042 can effectively prevent water from penetrating into the first mounting groove 1043, thereby extending the service life of the product.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cylindrical gasket 10411 is arranged in the through hole 1041, and the upper wall size of the cylindrical gasket 10411 is larger than the lower wall size. When assembling the present application, by arranging the cylindrical gasket 10411 with a larger upper wall size in the through hole 1041, it is beneficial to better distribute the pressure of the fixing part on the through hole 1041 evenly on the cylindrical gasket 10411, thereby preventing the fixing part from crushing the light bar 2, thereby causing deformation of the light bar 2. At the same time, the bottom wall of the cylindrical gasket 10411 is tightly matched with the upper wall of the hollow protrusion 201, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the top of the side wall of the waterproof ring 1042 is set as a first arc-shaped convex surface 10421. Once the connecting component 1 and the light bar 2 are impacted, the first arc-shaped convex surface 10421 enables the waterproof ring 1042 to fully utilize the curvature of the arc when impacted, thereby ensuring the integrity of its waterproof function.

[0039] Specifically, the upper wall of the waterproof ring 1042 is provided with a second mounting groove 10422, and a distance is left between the second mounting groove 10422 and the first arc-shaped convex surface 10421 of the waterproof ring 1042. Once the light bar 2 and the connecting component 1 are immersed in water, through the design of leaving a distance between the second mounting groove 10422 and the waterproof ring 1042, water has to pass through two layers of waterproof sealing layers before entering the connecting part between the pin and the light bar 2, thereby effectively enhancing the waterproof effect of the waterproof ring 1042.

[0040] like Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the female connector 102 includes a connecting sleeve 1021, and the female connector 102 is provided with a first slot 1022. A ridge 10211 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 1021 near the opening. The horizontal spacing of the slot is greater than the horizontal spacing of the upper wall of the ridge 10211. After assembly, the slot and the connecting sleeve 1021 are connected through the ridge 10211. After assembly, the ridge 10211 can be stuck in the slot, and the design that the horizontal spacing of the slot is greater than the horizontal spacing of the upper wall of the ridge 10211 allows the connecting sleeve 1021 to be rotatably connected to the slot.

[0041] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the male connector 101 is provided with a second slot 1011, and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 1021 is provided with a protrusion 10212. There are four second slots 1011. After the two connecting components 1 are assembled, the connecting sleeve 1021 and the male connector 101 are interference fit through the protrusion 10212. During assembly, the female connector 102 of one connecting component 1 is first docked with the male connector 101 of another connecting component 1, and then the connecting sleeve 1021 is rotated so that the protrusion 10212 on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 1021 rotates through the second slot 1011, and finally rotates to the outer wall between the two second slots 1011, thereby achieving interference fit between the connecting sleeve 1021 and the male connector 101 through the protrusion 10212. This design is conducive to strengthening the connection strength between the male connector 101 and the female connector 102.

[0042] Specifically, the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 1021 is provided with an anti-skid protrusion 10213 , and the anti-skid protrusion 10213 is conducive to facilitating the operator to rotate the connecting sleeve 1021 .

[0043] Specifically, a second arc-shaped convex surface 12111 is provided on the protrusion 10212 , and the second arc-shaped convex surface 12111 is beneficial for a smoother transition between the protrusion 10212 and the second slot 1011 when the connecting sleeve 1021 is rotated.

[0044] Specifically, the outer wall of the male connector 101 is provided with anti-slip stripes 1012 , and the anti-slip stripes 1012 are helpful for increasing the friction between the hand and the male connector 101 when disassembling and installing the male connector 101 , thereby facilitating the operation.

[0045] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. Such 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 application, and should all be included in the protection scope of the present application.
