DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the utility model, a flexible conductive track and a light strip are disclosed, wherein the flexible conductive track comprises a flexible power cord 100, wherein a conductive wire 120 is arranged inside the flexible power cord 100; a buckle assembly is arranged on the flexible power cord; the buckle assembly comprises a first buckle 200 and a second buckle 300 which are movably connected, wherein the first buckle 200 and the second buckle 300 can move toward each other and are used to clamp the flexible power cord 100; wherein a conductive terminal 310 for connecting an electrical device is arranged on a side of the second buckle 300 which faces the first buckle 200; the conductive terminal 310 protrudes toward the first buckle 200; when the first buckle 200 and the second buckle 300 clamp the flexible power cord 100, the conductive terminal 310 penetrates into the flexible power cord 100 and is connected to the conductive wire 120.

[0030] The flexible power cord 100 in this embodiment has a soft characteristic and can be flexibly bent. The flexible power cord 100 includes a conductive wire 120 for conducting current and an insulating layer 110 coated on the surface of the conductive wire 120 layer. The insulating layer 110 is made of a soft and elastic insulating material, such as rubber and other materials. Ensure that the insulating layer 110 has a certain flexibility and recoverability while maintaining sufficient insulation performance. Specifically, when the first buckle 200 and the second buckle 300 clamp the flexible power cord 100, the conductive terminal 310 on the second buckle 300 will penetrate the inside of the flexible power cord 100 and form an electrical connection with the conductive wire 120 therein. In this process, the surface of the conductive terminal 310 will temporarily penetrate the insulating layer 110 to ensure contact with the conductive wire 120. However, when it is necessary to disconnect, just separate the first buckle 200 and the second buckle 300, and the conductive terminal 310 will be pulled out from the flexible power cord 100. At this time, since the insulating layer 110 is made of a soft and elastic rubber material, it can quickly recover to its original shape and state, thereby re-covering the surface of the conductive terminal 310 to ensure good insulation performance.

[0031] In this embodiment, a conductive terminal 310 is provided on the snap assembly so that the lamp can be detachably installed on the power cord through the snap assembly, thereby improving the convenience of use. In addition, due to the softness of the power cord, it can be flexibly bent in various complex environments without being restricted to a specific installation line, and is suitable for different usage scenarios.

[0032] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first clip 200 is provided with a first clamping groove and a clamping groove 210 located on both sides of the first clamping groove, and the second clip 300 is provided with a second clamping groove and elastic protrusions 322 located on both sides of the second clamping groove. The first clamping groove and the second clamping groove are spliced ​​to form a clamping channel, and the elastic protrusion 322 is detachably arranged in the clamping groove 210 to realize the detachable connection between the first clip 200 and the second clip 300.

[0033] Specifically, the first buckle 200 is provided with a first clamping groove, which is used to accommodate the flexible power cord 100 to ensure that the power cord will not be misplaced or moved during the buckling process. Two clamping grooves 210 are provided on both sides of the first clamping groove, and these two grooves are for matching with the elastic protrusions 322 on the second buckle 300. The second buckle 300 is provided with a second clamping groove, and its shape and size match the first clamping groove. Two elastic protrusions 322 are provided on both sides of the second clamping groove. These elastic protrusions 322 are usually made of elastic material and have certain bending and recovery capabilities.

[0034] During the buckling process, the flexible power cord 100 needs to be placed in the first clamping groove of the first buckle 200 first, and then the second buckle 300 is aligned with the first buckle 200 so that the second clamping groove is aligned with the first clamping groove. Then, the two elastic protrusions 322 on the second buckle 300 are pressed into the two clamping grooves 210 on the first buckle 200 respectively. Due to the elasticity and bending of the elastic protrusions 322, the elastic protrusions 322 can be easily pressed into the clamping grooves 210. Once fully inserted, the elastic protrusions 322 will return to their original shape, thereby being stuck in the clamping grooves 210 to form a stable connection. At this time, the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove together form a clamping channel, clamping the flexible power cord 100 in the middle. At the same time, the conductive terminal 310 on the second buckle 300 will penetrate into the flexible power cord 100 during the clamping process and form an electrical connection with the conductive wire 120 therein. When the connection needs to be disconnected, the second buckle 300 is simply pulled out from the first buckle 200 by force, so that the elastic protrusion 322 is disengaged from the engaging groove 210 .

[0035] By providing the first clamping groove and the clamping groove 210 on the first buckle 200, and providing the second clamping groove and the elastic protrusion 322 on the second buckle 300, not only the stability and reliability of the connection between the conductive terminal 310 and the conductive wire 120 are ensured, but also the entire buckling process becomes simple and fast, which improves the convenience of use. In addition, it allows users to easily replace or repair the lamp and the power cord, extending the service life of the product.

[0036] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, a cavity is provided on the side of the second buckle 300 away from the second clamping groove, and the conductive terminal 310 includes a piercing end 311 and a wire clamping groove 312. The piercing end 311 extends into the second clamping groove for electrically connecting to the conductive wire 120, and the wire clamping groove 312 is provided in the cavity for connecting to an external electrical appliance.

[0037] In the specific implementation process, when it is necessary to connect an external electrical appliance (such as a lamp), the power cord of the external lamp is placed in the wire clamping groove 312 and clamped, and then the external lamp is fixedly connected to the second buckle 300, and finally the second buckle 300 and the first buckle 200 are clamped on the flexible power cord 100 to achieve electrical connection between the lamp and the conductive wire 120 in the flexible power cord 100.

[0038] By providing the wire clamping groove 312, a stable electrical connection is formed between the wires of the external electrical appliance and the conductive terminal 310, which is not easy to loosen or fall off, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the circuit.

[0039] Of course, in this embodiment, the second buckle 300 is not limited to being connected to a lamp, and other electronic products may also be installed on the second buckle 300, such as sensors, cameras, speakers, small displays, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0040] In this embodiment, the piercing end 311 extends from one end close to the wire clamping groove 312 toward the second clamping groove, and the width of the piercing end 311 gradually decreases from one end close to the wire clamping groove 312 toward the second clamping groove.

[0041] The width of the piercing end 311 gradually decreases, which not only helps to complete the piercing action smoothly and stably, but also protects the power cord from excessive damage and improves installation efficiency.

[0042] See also Figure 4In the present embodiment, two conductive terminals 310 are provided, two mounting grooves 323 are provided in the cavity, positioning posts 324 and an opening for connecting to the second clamping groove are provided in the mounting groove 323, the wire clamping groove 312 is provided in the mounting groove 323, and the piercing end 311 extends into the second clamping groove through the opening; a positioning hole 313 cooperating with the positioning post 324 is provided on the wire clamping groove 312.

[0043] Specifically, the positioning hole 313 matches the positioning column 324 in the mounting groove 323. During assembly, the conductive terminal 310 is aligned with the mounting groove 323, and the positioning hole 313 is aligned with the positioning column 324, and then the conductive terminal 310 is pushed into the mounting groove 323. During the pushing process, it is necessary to ensure that the conductive terminal 310 is tightly fitted with the mounting groove 323 without looseness or skewness. The setting of the positioning column 324 enables the conductive terminal 310 to be accurately and stably installed in the mounting groove 323.

[0044] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the width of the clamping channel is the same as the width of the flexible power cord 100 , two conductive wires 120 are provided, and the distance between the two conductive wires 120 is the same as the distance between the two piercing ends 311 .

[0045] Since the width of the clamping channel is the same as the width of the flexible power cord 100, the flexible power cord 100 can be accurately clamped in the channel, reducing the possibility of sliding or loosening, thereby improving the stability of the entire system. When the distance between the two conductive wires 120 is the same as the distance between the two piercing ends 311, it can be ensured that each piercing end 311 accurately pierces the corresponding conductive wire 120, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of current and avoiding problems such as poor conductivity or short circuit caused by misalignment.

[0046] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, a mounting hole 332 and a through hole 331 connected to the cavity are provided on the side of the second buckle 300 away from the second clamping groove. The mounting hole 332 is used to connect to an external electrical appliance, and the through hole 331 is used for allowing the conductive wire of the external electrical appliance to extend into the cavity and connect to the wire clamping groove 312.

[0047] In a specific implementation process, the wires of the external electrical appliance (such as a lamp) are passed through the through hole 331 so that they enter the cavity and are inserted into the wire clamping groove 312, and then the wire clamping groove 312 is clamped using a screwdriver or a similar tool to ensure that the wires are firmly connected to the wire clamping groove 312. When installing the lamp, align the mounting components (such as screws, buckles, studs, etc.) on the external electrical appliance with the mounting hole 332 on the second buckle 300. Ensure that the mounting components of the external electrical appliance can be smoothly inserted into or passed through the mounting hole 332. Then fix the mounting components of the external electrical appliance to the mounting hole 332 by rotating the screw, using a buckle or other fastening methods. Ensure that the external electrical appliance is firmly mounted on the second buckle 300 and will not shake or fall off.

[0048] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the second buckle 300 includes a main body 320 and a cover body 330 , the second clamping groove and the cavity are provided on the main body 320 , the cover body 330 covers the cavity, and the mounting hole 332 and the through hole 331 are provided on the cover body 330 .

[0049] In this embodiment, a locking hole 325 is formed on the main body 320 , and a locking protrusion 333 is formed on the cover body 330 . The locking protrusion 333 is disposed in the locking hole 325 .

[0050] In a specific implementation process, the wires of the external electrical appliance are passed through the through hole 331 on the cover body 330 and inserted into the wire clamping groove 312 for clamping, and then the cover body 330 is closed. The second buckle 300 of this embodiment makes it more convenient to load and unload the wires of the external electrical appliance.

[0051] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, a guide flange 220 is provided on the side wall of the first clip 200 parallel to the first clamping groove, and the guide flange 220 is provided with the clamping groove 210; a guide groove 321 is provided on the side wall of the second clip 300 parallel to the second clamping groove, and the guide groove 321 is provided with the elastic protrusion 322, and the guide flange 220 is arranged in the guide groove 321.

[0052] Specifically, the guide flange 220 on the first buckle 200 is aligned with the guide groove 321 on the second buckle 300, and then the first buckle 200 is pushed in the direction of the guide groove 321, so that the guide flange 220 completely enters the guide groove 321. When the guide flange 220 completely enters the guide groove 321, the clamping groove 210 on the first buckle 200 and the elastic protrusion 322 on the second buckle 300 begin to interact. The elastic protrusion 322 will deform slightly to adapt to the shape of the clamping groove 210, and then quickly return to its original shape, firmly locking the first buckle 200 on the second buckle 300.

[0053] The guide flange 220 and the guide groove 321 of this embodiment are used to perform preliminary positioning of the first buckle 200 and the second buckle 300. The provision of the elastic protrusion 322 and the snap-fitting groove 210 makes the engagement and disassembly operations of the first buckle 200 and the second buckle 300 easier, while ensuring the stability and safety of the structure.

[0056] Each lamp body of this embodiment includes a light-emitting element and necessary circuit connections to achieve independent or coordinated light emission. These lamp bodies can be customized in different sizes, colors and brightness according to actual needs to adapt to various application scenarios. The second buckle 300 is provided with a fixing structure that matches the lamp body to ensure that the lamp body can be stably and firmly installed on the buckle.

[0057] In this embodiment, a complete light bar can be formed by using a plurality of lamp bodies, a plurality of first buckles 200 and a plurality of second buckles 300 in combination. These lamp bodies can be arranged on the flexible power cord 100 according to a certain spacing and sequence through the first buckles 200 and the second buckles 300 as needed. The entire light bar system can be customized according to actual needs to meet different length, shape and brightness requirements.
