[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0037] Embodiment 1:

[0038] The present application embodiment discloses a driver protection shell. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driver protection shell includes a shell body 1 and a sealant. A receiving cavity 2 for receiving the driver is formed inside the shell body 1, and the size of the receiving cavity 2 is larger than the size of the driver so that the sealant can be poured into the receiving cavity 2. In this embodiment, the driver is square, so the shell body 1 is also square.

[0039] After the sealant is cured in the shell body 1, it covers the driver to hide the information on the driver and prevent it from being exposed. At the same time, the sealant is bonded to the inner wall of the shell body 1, making it difficult for the driver to be removed from the shell body 1 in a non-destructive manner, thereby improving the confidentiality of the driver.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 In order to facilitate the installation of the driver, the housing body 1 includes a first housing 101 and a second housing 102. The first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are detachably connected through a connecting member 7, and the accommodating cavity 2 is formed on the first housing 101. When the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are separated, the driver is placed in the first housing 101 and injected with glue. After the sealant is solidified, the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are connected and closed to isolate the driver from the outside.

[0041] Among them, in this embodiment, the connecting member 7 is a connecting bolt 71, and the type of the connecting bolt 71 is preferably a countersunk bolt. The first housing 101 has a first mounting portion 11 protruding from the outer wall of the first housing 101, and the second housing 102 has a second mounting portion 12 protruding from the outer wall of the second housing 102. There are multiple first mounting portions 11 and multiple second mounting portions 12, and the multiple first mounting portions 11 are distributed along the circumference of the first housing 101, and the multiple second mounting portions 12 are distributed along the circumference of the second housing 102, and the first mounting portions 11 and the second mounting portions 12 correspond to each other one by one. The second mounting portion 12 is provided with a countersunk hole 13 for the rod of the connecting bolt 71, and the first mounting portion 11 is provided with a threaded hole 14 for the rod of the connecting bolt 71 to be threadedly connected. When the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are covered, the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 12 are close to each other, and the connecting bolt 71 can pass through the second mounting portion 12 through the countersunk hole 13 and be threadedly connected to the first mounting portion 11 through the threaded hole 14, and the head of the connecting bolt 71 is pressed into the expanded hole part of the countersunk hole 13.

[0042] In other embodiments, the connector 7 may further include a buckle disposed on the first shell 101, and the second shell 102 has a slot adapted to the buckle, and the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 can be quickly connected and disassembled by snapping together the buckle and the slot.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In order to improve the waterproofness between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102, a waterproof seal 8 is provided between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. In this embodiment, the waterproof seal 8 is a rubber seal ring 81. The size of the seal ring 81 is adapted to the circumferential size of the first housing 101. A ring groove 15 for the seal ring 81 to abut against is formed on the surface of the first housing 101 opposite to the second housing 102, so as to limit the position of the seal ring 81. After the seal ring 81 is inserted into the ring groove 15, there is still a portion of the seal ring 81 located outside the first housing 101 for abutting against the second housing 102.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The sealing ring 81 has concave grooves 16 on both the upper and lower sides, and the grooves 16 are distributed along the circumference of the sealing ring 81. When the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 squeeze the sealing ring 81 together in the direction of approaching each other, the sealing ring 81 undergoes elastic deformation, so that the sealing ring 81 can be pressed tightly between the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 to seal the joint between the first shell 101 and the second shell 102. The groove 16 of the sealing ring 81 not only provides space for the deformation of the sealing ring 81, but also blocks water in the groove 16 when water flows between the first shell 101 and the second shell 102, further improving the waterproof effect between the first shell 101 and the second shell 102.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, a cavity 17 is formed on the second shell 102. When the first shell 101 is opposite, the cavity 17 is opposite to the accommodating cavity 2, so as to provide heat dissipation space for the driver. In addition, the driver needs to be connected to the output wire to obtain and provide power. The second shell 102 has a wiring part for the wiring to extend in and out. The wiring part protrudes from the second shell 102 in a direction away from the first shell 101 and forms a wiring groove 5 connected with the cavity 17. After the first shell 101 is connected to the second shell 102, the wiring groove is farther away from the accommodating cavity 2 than the cavity 17 and is connected with the accommodating cavity 2 through the cavity 17.

[0046] After the wiring is completed, sealant is poured into the wiring groove 5. After the sealant is solidified, the joint between the wire and the connection part is further sealed to improve the waterproof performance of the second shell 102 at the wiring point. The part of the wire located in the second shell 102 but not solidified by the sealant is placed in the cavity 17 of the second shell 102.

[0047] The driver will generate heat when in use. In order to improve the heat dissipation effect of the driver, a sealant is a thermally conductive glue that can dissipate heat for the driver, such as thermally conductive silicone, epoxy resin sealant, etc.

[0048] Reference Figure 1Furthermore, a plurality of ribs 3 are integrally formed on the outer wall of the first shell 101, the ribs 3 protrude from the outer wall of the first shell 101, and the plurality of ribs 3 are evenly spaced along the length and width of the first shell 101. The ribs 3 can enhance the strength of the first shell 101 and expand the contact area between the first shell 101 and the air, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect on the driver. In other embodiments, the second shell 102 may also be distributed with ribs 3.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 Furthermore, a support seat 6 for supporting the driver protection shell is integrally formed on the second shell 102, and the support seat 6 is used to be connected to the product to install the driver protection shell. In this embodiment, there are four support seats 6, and the four support seats 6 are respectively located at the four corners of the second shell 102.

[0050] The support base 6 is columnar, and the length extension direction of the support base 6 is parallel to the distribution direction of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102. One end of the support base 6 is connected to the second shell 102, and the end of the support base 6 away from the second shell 102 extends away from the first shell 101 and exceeds the connection part of the second shell 102, so that when the support base 6 is connected to the product, a gap can be formed between the second shell 102 and the product installation part, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the shell body 1 and further dissipating the heat of the driver.

[0051] In addition, a connection hole 18 that cooperates with the countersunk bolt is opened on the support seat 6. The connection hole 18 is countersunk in shape. The countersunk bolt can pass through the support seat 6 through the connection hole 18 and then be threadedly connected to the product.

[0052] The implementation principle of a driver protection shell in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the driver is wrapped with sealant and fixed to the first shell 101 to hide the information on the driver.

[0055] The lighting device 10 is mounted on the lamp holder 9 for emitting light, and the driver is fixed in the housing body 1 by means of sealant. The housing body 1 is detachably connected to the lamp holder 9 by means of a countersunk bolt, and specifically, the countersunk bolt rod passes through the support seat 6 and is threadedly connected to the lamp holder 9. The driver is electrically connected to the lighting device 10 by means of an electric wire, so as to provide the lighting device 10 with power for lighting.

[0056] In addition, the housing body 1 and the lighting device 10 are respectively located on opposite sides of the lamp holder 9 , and the first housing 101 on which the driver is installed is farther away from the lamp holder 9 than the second housing 102 , so as to further improve the heat dissipation effect of the driver.
