[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The light pipe mounting seat of the embodiment of the utility model includes a base 100, a socket 200 and a reset assembly 300. Connecting seats 110 are provided at both ends of the base 100, and a telescopic groove 111 is provided on the opposite side of the connecting seat 110; at least part of the socket 200 is built into the telescopic groove 111, and a slot 210 for inserting the light pipe pin is provided on the opposite side of the socket 200. The socket 200 can be telescopically moved in the telescopic groove 111 along the length direction of the base 100 so that the end faces of the two sockets 200 are close to or away from each other; the reset assembly 300 is built into the telescopic groove 111, and the reset assembly 300 is connected to the socket 200 to drive the socket 200 to move toward the other end of the base 100.

[0026] In actual use, the base 100 is used to be installed on the wall or hung on the wall to fix the installation position of the entire lamp. The two ends of the light tube are respectively connected to the two connecting seats 110. Specifically, the pins at both ends of the light tube are directly inserted into the slots 210 of the socket 200, and the socket 200 is pushed by the limiting mechanism so that the sockets 200 at both ends press the light tube. When installing the light tube, the sockets 200 at both ends are first squeezed toward the inside of the connecting seat 110 to maximize the distance between the two sockets 200, and then the socket 200 at one end of the light tube is connected to the other end of the light tube. After the light tube and the base 100 are parallel, the inserted plug is used. The reset assembly 300 of the seat 200 pushes the socket 200 to extend toward the other end of the base 100, and simultaneously pushes the other end of the light pipe to connect with another socket 200, and finally releases the two sockets 200 at the same time. Under the action of the reset assemblies 300 at both ends, the two sockets 200 cooperate to clamp the light pipe to complete the assembly. During the assembly process, the distance between the two sockets 200 can be effectively adjusted by utilizing the retractability of the sockets 200 at both ends in the two telescopic grooves 111, which is used to adapt to light pipes of different lengths. In summary, through the sockets 200 that can be retracted at both ends, different light pipes with a certain length error can be adapted, thereby improving the installation adaptability of the entire light pipe mounting seat. In addition, the retractable socket 200 is also convenient for installing the light pipe. In the actual installation process, the installation can be achieved without snapping and rotating.

[0027] Specifically, in some embodiments, the interior of the base 100 is hollow and has a built-in driving circuit, which is electrically connected to the light pipe plug through a wire, wherein the slot 210 passes through the socket 200 and is connected to the internal space of the base 100 through the telescopic slot 111, and the wire extends into the slot 210. After the two ends of the light pipe are respectively installed in the two sockets 200, the plugs at the two ends can be directly connected to the wires, and the electrical connection between the light pipe and the driving circuit inside the base 100 is realized, wherein the driving circuit belongs to the conventional technology in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] In some embodiments, in order to constrain the position of the socket 200 so that the socket 200 can and can only be telescoped along a straight line in the telescopic slot 111, refer to Figure 1 A limiting protrusion 112 is provided on the inner side of the telescopic slot 111, and a limiting groove 220 is provided on the outer side of the socket 200. The limiting protrusion 112 is embedded in the limiting groove 220 and can slide in the limiting groove 220. During the movement of the socket 200, the protrusion 113 and the groove limit each other, so that the protrusion 113 can and can only slide along the groove, and thus the socket 200 can and can only feed in the telescopic slot 111 along a straight line.

[0029] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the socket 200 does not fall out of the telescopic slot 111 and improve the structural stability of the entire structure, refer to Figure 3 The socket 200 is provided with a first abutting surface 1131, and the telescopic groove 111 is provided with a second abutting surface 231. The first abutting surface 1131 and the second abutting surface 231 abut against each other to limit the displacement area of ​​the socket 200 to the telescopic groove 111. Preferably, a ring-shaped protrusion 113 is provided on the inner side of the telescopic groove 111, and the inner side wall of the protrusion 113 is the first abutting surface 1131. The end of the socket 200 extending into the slot 210 is provided with a boss 230, and the side of the boss 230 facing the other end of the socket 200 is the second abutting surface 231. The first abutting surface 1131 and the second abutting surface 231 are arranged opposite to each other. When the first abutting surface 1131 of the protrusion 113 abuts against the second abutting surface 231 of the boss 230, the distance between the two sockets 200 is the shortest. In this state, the socket 200 and the connecting seat 110 are relatively fixed to prevent the socket 200 from falling out.

[0030] In some embodiments, the socket 200 can be completely embedded in the connection base 110. The distance between the two sockets 200 is maximized to accommodate a longer light pipe as much as possible.

[0031] It is worth mentioning that, refer to Figure 3 The reset assembly 300 is a spring, one end of which is connected to the inner end surface of the connection seat 110, and the other end is connected to the end surface of the socket 200 extending into the telescopic groove 111. The elastic force of the spring allows the sockets 200 inside the connection seat 110 to always have a tendency to approach each other and compress the light pipe installed between the two sockets 200.

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
