[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application protects a light strip kit 10, which includes a waterproof cover 200 and two light strips 100. The light strip 100 has a connecting end 110, and the connecting ends 110 of the two light strips 100 are detachably connected. The waterproof cover 200 is connected to the connection of the two connecting ends 110 and is sealed between the connecting ends 110. The waterproof cover 200 is detachably connected to at least one connecting end 110.
[0028] It can be understood that in the above-mentioned light strip kit 10, the two light strips 100 can be disassembled and assembled through the detachable connection of the connecting end 110, and multiple waterproof covers 200 and more than two light strips 100 can be set as needed. By connecting multiple light strips 100 end to end in sequence, the long-distance decorative use needs of homes and public places can be met.
[0029] In the above-mentioned light strip kit 10, by setting the waterproof cover 200 at the connection of the two connection ends 110, and the waterproof cover 200 and the two connection ends 110 are sealed, so that external water cannot enter the connection of the two connection ends 110, effectively avoiding water ingress and short circuit at the connection of the two connection ends 110, so that the overall structure has a good waterproof effect. In addition, the waterproof cover 200 is detachably connected to at least one connection end 110, so that the waterproof cover 200 and the connection end 110 can be repeatedly disassembled and assembled, so that the waterproof cover 200 has a high utilization rate.
[0030] Continue reading Figures 1 to 3Specifically, in the present application, the connection end 110 includes a connection terminal 111 and an end cover 112, the end cover 112 is wrapped around the connection terminal 111, and the waterproof cover 200 is connected to the end cover 112. It can be understood that the end cover 112 is wrapped around the connection terminal 111, which can fix and protect the connection terminal 111. For the two detachably connected connection ends 110, the two connection terminals 111 are electrically connected. The waterproof cover 200 is specifically sleeved on the periphery of the end cover 112 and is sealed with the end cover 112. At the same time, the waterproof cover 200 is detachably connected to at least one of the two end covers 112.
[0031] Specifically in the present application, for the two detachably connected connection ends 110, at least one of the two end caps 112 is plugged into the waterproof cover 200. The waterproof cover 200 is detachably connected to the end cap 112 by plugging, so as to achieve the purpose of quick disassembly and assembly.
[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, when both end caps 112 are plugged into the waterproof cover 200, one of the end caps 112 is provided with a limit stopper 113, and the limit stopper 113 is in surface contact with the end surface of the waterproof cover 200, and the two end caps 112 are in surface contact with each other. It can be understood that the waterproof cover 200 is a tubular structure with two through ends, and the end caps 112 of the two connection ends 110 can both extend into the interior of the waterproof cover 200 and respectively achieve plug-in cooperation with the waterproof cover 200.
[0033] The end cover 112 provided with the limit stopper 113 is defined as a first end cover 112 a , and the end cover 112 not provided with the limit stopper 113 is defined as a second end cover 112 b . It can be understood that when assembling, the waterproof cover 200 can be firstly put on the first end cover 112a, and when the end face of the waterproof cover 200 is in contact with the limit block 113, the waterproof cover 200 is plugged into place relative to the first end cover 112a, and sufficient installation space has been reserved for the second end cover 112b inside the waterproof cover 200, and then the second end cover 112b is extended into the waterproof cover 200, and inside the waterproof cover 200, when the end face of the second end cover 112b is in contact with the end face of the first end cover 112a, the two end covers 112 are in place, and at the same time, the second end cover 112b is plugged into place with the waterproof cover 200, so that the end face of the waterproof cover 200 is in contact with the limit block 113 and the end faces of the two end covers 112 are in contact with each other, so that the two end covers 112 and the waterproof cover 200 are plugged into place, and the two connecting ends 110 are detachably connected in place.
[0034] It can be understood that the setting of the limit stopper 113 can provide a reference position for the installation of the waterproof cover 200, ensuring that both end caps 112 can fully extend into the waterproof cover 200, so that the waterproof cover 200 and the two end caps 112 can achieve a good waterproof effect, effectively overcoming the problem of poor waterproof effect caused by one end cap 112 extending too much into the waterproof cover 200 and the other end cap 112 extending too little into the waterproof cover 200. In addition, the end face of the waterproof cover 200 and the limit stopper 113 are in contact with each other, which can also play a water-blocking role and prevent water from directly entering the interior of the waterproof cover 200.
[0035] In the present application, the two connection terminals 111 are plugged in. When the end faces of the two end caps 112 are in full contact, the two connection terminals 111 are plugged in place. This arrangement can facilitate the rapid plugging of the two connection terminals 111, while also avoiding the problem of the two connection terminals 111 not being plugged in place. In addition, the end faces of the two end caps 112 are in full contact, which can also play a role in water blocking and enclose the two connection terminals 111 in the space surrounded by the two end caps 112.
[0036] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, one of the end caps 112 is fixedly connected to the waterproof cover 200, and when the other end cap 112 is plugged into the waterproof cover 200, the two end caps 112 are in contact with each other. It is understood that the first end cap 112a and the waterproof cover 200 can be fixedly connected together by gluing the waterproof cover 200 and the first end cap 112a together, or by injection molding the waterproof cover 200 and the first end cap 112a into an integral structure, and the two can be sealed and water cannot enter. In addition, during assembly, the second end cap 112b only needs to be extended into the interior of the waterproof cover 200 and plugged into the waterproof cover 200 to achieve quick disassembly and assembly of the second end cap 112b and the waterproof cover 200. When the second end cover 112b extends into the waterproof cover 200, when the end surface of the second end cover 112b fits with the end surface of the first end cover 112a, the second end cover 112b and the waterproof cover 200 are plugged into place, and at the same time, the first end cover 112a and the two connecting terminals 111 inside the second end cover 112b are plugged into place.
[0037] Continue reading Figures 1 to 3In an embodiment of the present application, the light strip 100 includes a circuit board (not shown) and a protective cover 120 sleeved on the periphery of the circuit board. The light strip 100 has two connecting ends 110, and the connecting terminals 111 of the two connecting ends 110 are connected through the circuit board, and the end caps 112 of the two connecting ends 110 are connected through the protective cover 120. It can be understood that since the light strip 100 has two connecting ends 110, the connecting ends 110 of multiple light strips 100 can be connected end to end in sequence to obtain a longer length of light output. Specifically, the circuit board is a flexible circuit board, and electronic devices are arranged on the circuit board, such as light-emitting LEDs and devices such as resistors and capacitors required for light emission. The two connecting terminals 111 are electrically connected through the circuit board.
[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the end cap 112 and the protective sleeve 120 are an integrated structure. Specifically, the end cap 112 and the protective sleeve 120 can be stably combined together by secondary injection molding, thereby not only improving the connection strength between the end cap 112 and the protective sleeve 120, but also improving the waterproof effect of the connection. In other embodiments, the end cap 112 and the protective sleeve 120 can also be connected together by gluing or interference fit.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the protective cover 120 is a flexible soft rubber protective cover. In other embodiments, the protective cover 120 may also be a hard rubber protective cover. The end cap 112 may be a hard rubber end cap or a soft rubber end cap. The waterproof cover 200 may be a hard rubber cover or a soft rubber cover. The material of the protective cover 120, the end cap 112, and the waterproof cover 200 may be silicone or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
[0040] Specifically in the present application, for the two connection terminals 111 of the same light strip 100, one is a female terminal and the other is a male terminal. In other embodiments, both connection terminals 111 can be female terminals or both connection terminals 111 can be male terminals. In this case, the light strip 100 can be used as an adapter to achieve splicing. The two light strips 100 can be quickly disassembled and assembled by plugging and matching the female terminals with the male terminals.
[0041] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the present application, one of the end cap 112 and the waterproof cover 200 is provided with a waterproof ring 310, and the other is tightly matched with the waterproof ring 310. It can be understood that the waterproof ring 310 can be provided on the outer wall surface of the end cap 112. When the waterproof cover 200 and the end cap 112 are plugged and matched, the waterproof ring 310 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the waterproof cover 200, thereby playing a role of sealing and water blocking between the waterproof cover 200 and the end cap 112, and achieving a better waterproof effect. Further, the waterproof ring 310 protrudes from the outer wall surface of the end cap 112 and is a hard bone position. By making the waterproof ring 310 and the inner wall surface of the waterproof cover 200 interference fit, the waterproof ring 310 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the waterproof cover 200. Further, the waterproof cover 200 can be made into a soft rubber cover and can be deformed. After the waterproof cover 200 is sleeved on the end cap 112, the waterproof cover 200 can elastically press the waterproof ring 310. Alternatively, a limiting groove 320 can be set on the inner wall surface of the waterproof cover 200, and the waterproof ring 310 is accommodated in the limiting groove 320 and tightly attached to the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 320, so that the waterproof ring 310 plays a sealing and water-blocking role between the waterproof cover 200 and the end cover 112.
[0042] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the waterproof ring 310 can also be provided on the inner wall surface of the waterproof cover 200. In addition, the waterproof ring 310 can also be provided as a soft rubber ring, and during the plugging process of the waterproof cover 200 and the end cover 112, the waterproof ring 310 is deformed to play a sealing and waterproof role between the two.
[0043] In other embodiments, the waterproof cover 200 and the end cover 112 are tightly matched and sealed. It is understood that the waterproof cover 200 can be set as a soft rubber cover. When the end cover 112 is extended into the waterproof cover 200, the waterproof cover 200 can be deformed and elastically press the end cover 112, so as to be tightly matched with the end cover 112, and the two are sealed to have a good waterproof effect. In other embodiments, the end cover 112 can also be a soft rubber end cover that can be deformed.
[0044] In other embodiments, the end cap 112 is provided with an external thread, the waterproof cover 200 is provided with an internal thread, and the internal thread is connected with the external thread in a mating manner. It can be understood that the end cap 112 and the waterproof cover 200 are detachably connected by means of thread mating. In addition, the mating connection of the internal thread and the external thread can also form a tortuous sealing surface between the waterproof cover 200 and the end cap 112 to play a better water-blocking role and achieve a better waterproof effect.
[0045] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described 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.
[0046] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
