Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of light strip connectors, and in particular to a universal light strip vertical connector. Background Art

[0002] LED light strips are LEDs assembled on a strip-shaped FPC (flexible circuit board) or PCB hard board, and are shaped like a strip. LED light strips are popular with consumers for their long service life, energy saving, and environmental protection, and are increasingly widely used. When using LED light strips, they need to be connected through LED light strip connectors.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent document with the authorization announcement number CN217306794U discloses a new type of light strip connector, including a No. 1 connection base, a No. 1 pressure cap and a No. 1 connection needle piece. The surface of the No. 1 connection base is provided with a mounting groove, the No. 1 pressure cap is provided with a connection needle piece fixing block, the No. 1 connection needle piece is provided with a light strip position fixing block, the side of the No. 1 connection base is provided with a fixing groove, and the two sides of the No. 1 pressure cap are provided with fixing holes. After the light strip is inserted into the fixed position of the No. 1 connection base, the No. 1 pressure cap can be pressed by hand to complete the fixed puncture connection of the light strip, realizing tool-free operation, convenient disassembly and transportation, reusable, and good contact performance.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned new light strip connector mainly relies on the No. 1 connecting needle to pierce the light strip to achieve the fixed connection of the light strip. Although this connection method is simple and fast, the fixing stability is poor. When used for a long time or subjected to external force, the connection between the light strip and the connecting needle is easy to loosen, resulting in unstable operation or complete failure of the light strip. At the same time, the new light strip connector can only connect two light strips in the horizontal direction, but cannot connect two light strips in the vertical direction. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the problems in the prior art of light strip connectors that the light strip fixing stability is poor and two light strips cannot be connected together in a vertical direction, the utility model provides a universal light strip vertical connector.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A universal light strip vertical connector comprises a base, a pressure cover, and a hardware contact piece arranged between the base and the pressure cover, wherein one end of the base and the pressure cover after being buckled together forms a first light strip groove for connecting the light strip or a wire groove for connecting the wire, and the other end forms a second light strip groove for connecting the light strip, the first light strip groove or the wire groove and the second light strip groove are perpendicular to each other, the two ends of the hardware contact piece extend to the notches of the first light strip groove and the second light strip groove respectively, the inner surface of the base corresponding to one end of the first light strip groove and / or the second light strip groove is provided with two clamping parts for respectively clamping the left and right sides of the light strip, the inner surface of the base is also provided with a contact piece mounting groove, and a barrier limiting part is provided in the middle of the inner surface of the pressure cover, and the barrier limiting part limits the hardware contact piece on the contact piece mounting groove.

[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the second light strip groove runs through both sides of the base.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a guiding inclined surface is provided at the opening of the limiting U-shaped groove.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the inner surface of the gland is provided with an avoidance groove for avoiding the saw teeth, and the position of the avoidance groove corresponds one-to-one with the position of the hardware contact piece.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the pressure cover includes a connecting plate and two movable cover plates movably connected to both ends of the connecting plate, the connecting plate is snap-connected to the middle of the base, and the two movable cover plates are snap-connected to both ends of the base.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the utility model, first clamping members are provided on both sides of the connecting plate, and first clamping ports that are clamped with the first clamping members are provided on both sides of the middle portion of the base.

The base 1 and the pressure cap 2 are buckled to form a first light strip groove 4 for connecting the light strip 6 at one end, and a second light strip groove 5 for connecting the light strip 6 at the other end. The first light strip groove 4 and the second light strip groove 5 are perpendicular to each other, and the second light strip groove 5 runs through both sides of the base 1. Both ends of the hardware contact piece 3 extend to the notches of the first light strip groove 4 and the second light strip groove 5, respectively, so that when two light strips 6 in the vertical direction are respectively inserted into the first light strip groove 4 and the second light strip groove 5, the hardware contact piece 3 can electrically connect the two light strips 6 together, thus completing the connection of the two light strips 6 in the vertical direction. Since the second light strip groove 5 runs through both sides of the base 1, one end of the light strip 6 can pass through the second light strip groove 5, so that the two light strips 6 are arranged in an "L" or "T" shape, which can meet the needs of various different places.

[0040] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, two pressing parts 11 for respectively pressing the left and right sides of the light strip 6 are arranged on one end of the inner surface of the base 1 corresponding to the first light strip groove 4. After the light strip 6 is installed in the first light strip groove 4, the two pressing parts 11 will press the left and right sides of the light strip 6, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the light strip 6 and the hardware contact piece 3. At the same time, the above arrangement makes the first light strip groove 4 suitable for installing a variety of different types of light strips 6, such as IP20 bare board SMD light strip, IP20 bare board COB light strip, IP54 drip glue SMD light strip, IP54 drip glue COB light strip, IP67 waterproof SMD light strip and IP67 waterproof COB light strip, etc., with strong versatility and applicability.
