[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 7 The connector 2 includes a plurality of connectors 20, and the connectors 20 include a bottom plate 21. A fixing portion 22 is provided at the inner end of the bottom plate 21. A conductive strip 23 corresponding to the wiring terminal 13 of the LED light strip is provided on the fixing portion 22 and located on the front of the bottom plate 21. The conductive strips 23 corresponding to the wiring terminals 13 of the LED light strip are electrically connected to each other. A plug-in slot 24 is also provided on the fixing portion 22. The tail end of the conductive strip 23 faces the outer end of the bottom plate 21, and there is a gap between the conductive strip 23 and the bottom plate 21. A first card slot 25 is provided on the back of the bottom plate 21 near the fixing portion 22. Guide ribs 26 are provided on both sides of the fixing portion 22. When the LED light strip 1 includes only one set of positive and negative power supply circuits, the connector 20 includes only two conductive strips 23; when the LED light strip includes multiple sets of positive and negative power supply circuits or signal circuits, multiple conductive strips 23 can also be provided on the connector 20.

[0023] refer to Figures 3 to 7 When the intermediate connecting assembly is used to connect two LED light strips on the same straight line, the connecting member 2 is in the shape of a straight line, that is, it includes two connecting heads 20 arranged on the same straight line, see Figure 3 When the intermediate joint is used to connect two LED light strips intersecting at a certain angle, the connector 2 includes two connectors 20 intersecting at a certain angle, the most common shape of which is an "L" shape, see Figure 5 When the intermediate joint is used to connect three LED light strips intersecting at a certain angle, the connector 2 includes three connectors 20 intersecting at a certain angle, the most common shape of which is a "T" shape, see Figure 6 When the intermediate joint is used to connect four LED light strips intersecting at a certain angle, the connector 2 includes four connectors 20 intersecting at a certain angle, the most common shape of which is a "cross" shape, see Figure 7 When the intermediate joint is used to connect more LED light strips at other angles, the connector can also be provided with more matching connectors.

[0024] refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The pressure strip 3 includes a plurality of pressure strips corresponding to the conductive strip 23, and the plurality of pressure strips 3 are connected through a mounting portion 31. A pin 32 is provided at the lower side of the mounting portion 31 to cooperate with the plug slot 24 of the connector 2. A second slot 33 is provided at the upper side of the mounting portion 31. Anti-skid teeth 34 and a contact 35 are provided at the lower side of the tail end of the pressure strip 3. The height difference between the anti-skid teeth 34 and the contact 35 is equal to the thickness of the conductive strip 23. The pressure strip 3 can also be injection molded into an integral structure with the fixing portion 22 of the connector 2.

[0025] refer to Fig.10The fixing sleeve 4 has an inner cavity 40 that is interference-fitted with the connector 20, and the inner cavity 40 includes an upper side surface 41, a lower side surface 42, and left and right side surfaces 43. The interference fit means that after the fixing sleeve 4 is installed, the upper and lower side surfaces 41, 42 thereof are interference-fitted with the pressure strip 3 and the bottom plate 21, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the LED light strip 1. The upper side surface 41 and the lower side surface 42 are provided with a clamping strip 44 that cooperates with the first clamping groove 25 and the second clamping groove 33, and the left and right side surfaces 43 are provided with a guide groove 45 that cooperates with the guide rib 26. One end of the fixing sleeve 4 connected to the connector 20 is the inner end 4a, and the other end is the outer end 4b. The upper side surface 41 can be further configured as an inclined surface in which the upper and lower spacing L1 of the inner end 4a is greater than the upper and lower spacing L2 of the outer end 4b, so that the interference fit between the inner end 4a of the tightening sleeve and the connecting head 2 is smaller than the interference fit between the outer end 4b and the connecting head 2. In this way, on the one hand, the tightening sleeve 4 is easier to install, and on the other hand, the tightening sleeve 4 exerts greater pressure on the pressure strip 3.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 The assembly method of the utility model is: firstly, the LED light strip 1 is passed through the fixing sleeve 4, and then the end of the circuit board 11 of the LED light strip 1 is embedded between the bottom plate 21 of the connector 20 and the conductive strip 23, and the terminal 13 on the circuit board 11 is aligned with the conductive strip 23; then the pin 32 of the pressure strip 3 is inserted into the plug-in slot 24 of the fixing portion 22, and the pressure strip 3 is aligned with the conductive strip 23 of the connector 2, and then the fixing sleeve 4 is sleeved to the connector 20, when the inner end 4a of the fixing sleeve 4 is close to the fixing portion 22 of the connector 20, the guide ribs 26 on both sides of the fixing portion 22 are inserted into the guide grooves 45 on both sides of the fixing sleeve 4, and the fixing sleeve 4 is continuously pushed until the clamping strips 44 on the upper and lower sides of the fixing sleeve 4 are respectively inserted into the first clamping slot 25 and the second clamping slot 33, so that the fixing sleeve 4 is fixed to the connector 2. At this time, the upper side surface 41 of the inner cavity 4a of the fastening sleeve 4 squeezes the pressure strip 3, so that the anti-slip teeth 34 of the pressure strip 3 are pressed on the circuit board 11, fixing the circuit board and the connecting piece 2, and the contact 35 of the pressure strip 3 is pressed on the conductive strip 23, so that the conductive strip 23 is in electrical contact with the terminal 13 on the circuit board 11.

[0027] The upper side of the inner cavity 40 of the tightening sleeve can also be provided with ribs inclined relative to the lower side to apply pressure to the pressure strip. The utility model preferably has an inclined upper side, so that there is no need to consider the alignment problem and it is easier to install. Since the pressure strip 3 and the connector 2 are an assembled structure, the pressure strip 3 can be made of a material with lower rigidity than the tightening sleeve 4 and the connector 2 to avoid hard contact, thereby protecting the circuit board and providing a more lasting fixing force on the circuit board. Since the pressure of the tightening sleeve 4 on the LED light strip mainly comes from the outer end of the inner cavity of the tightening sleeve, the clamping strip is arranged at the inner end of the tightening sleeve, which is easier to install, the tightening sleeve 4 and the connector 2 are more evenly stressed, and the tensile strength of the LED light strip is stronger. Since the height difference between the anti-slip teeth 34 and the contact 35 is equal to the thickness of the conductive strip 23, the pressure of the pressure strip 3 on the circuit board 11 and the conductive strip 23 can be the same. Since the outer surface of the tightening sleeve 4 is flush with the outer surface of the fixing portion 24 of the connector 2, the product is more beautiful as a whole.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: in the utility model, the fixation of the circuit board and the electrical contact between the conductive strip and the circuit board terminal are achieved through the pressure generated by the interference fit between the fixing sleeve and the connecting piece, and the fixing sleeve is an annular closed structure, and the pressure is strong and durable; and the fixation of the fixing sleeve and the connecting piece is achieved by the clamping connection between the clamping strip of the fixing sleeve and the clamping groove of the connecting piece, and the function of the clamping connection is only to prevent the fixing sleeve from slipping out of the connecting piece, and its function is single, the burden is lower, and the clamping connection is more reliable; in addition, since the fixing sleeve has no movable parts, it can be made of hard materials, and the clamping and fastening force is stronger. Therefore, the utility model has the advantages of stronger tensile resistance of the LED light strip and more reliable electrical connection.

[0029] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
