[0042] The light string connector provided in the following embodiments of the present application is a connector that is easy to assemble at the junction of multiple light strings, while solving the problem that each light string needs to be connected to a power source separately at the free end.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a light string connector 100. Through the structural design of a junction box 110, a power male end 120 and a plurality of power female ends 130, multiple strings of light beads can be assembled and connected at the same time. While supplying power to the multiple strings of light beads, each power female end 130 is independent, so that each string of light beads can be powered independently, which can be used in combination with a connector without destroying its property of being used alone, and effectively solves the problem in the prior art that each light string needs to be connected to a power source separately at the free end; in the present application, the power male end 120 and / or the power female end 130 can be directly fixed on the junction box 110, or can be placed outside the junction box 110 through wires, so that the light string connector 100 has a variety of connection methods with the light string, thereby improving the connection flexibility of the light string connector 100 and the diversity of applicable scenarios; in the present application, a plurality of lamp bodies 140 can be arranged in sequence on the power line 131, so that the light string connector 100 can be an integrated structure with the light string, and the lamp body 140 can be flipped and hung independently.

[0044] The following will be combined with the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 5 The principle and implementation of a light string connector 100 of this embodiment are described in detail.

[0045] Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the light string connector 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the light string connector 100 includes a junction box 110, a power male end 120 and at least one power female end 130 for powering the light string; wherein the power male end 120 and the power female end 130 are respectively connected to the junction box 110, and the power male end 120 and the power female end 130 are electrically connected inside the junction box 110.

[0046] In this embodiment, the junction box 110 integrates and connects a power male terminal 120 and multiple power female terminals 130. The multiple power female terminals 130 and the power supply are electrically connected inside the junction box 110. One power male terminal 120 provides power for multiple power female terminals 130 at the same time, so that each power female terminal 130 can be independently connected to a light string, and each light string can be independently powered by the power female terminal 130 connected to it, and each light string does not need to be separately connected to a power source at the free end.

[0047] Therefore, the light string connector 100 in this embodiment can assemble and connect multiple strings of light beads at the same time through the structural design of the junction box 110, the power male end 120 and multiple power female ends 130. While supplying power to multiple strings of light beads, each power female end 130 is independent, so that each string of light beads can be powered independently, which can be used in combination with the connector without destroying its property of being used alone, effectively solving the problem in the prior art that each light string needs to be connected to a power source separately at the free end.

[0048] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, the junction box 110 includes a bottom surface, a top surface, and a side surface between the bottom surface and the top surface, and the side surface includes a plurality of sub-side surfaces 111 spliced ​​in pairs.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bottom surface, the top surface and the side surfaces between the bottom surface and the top surface of the junction box 110 form a closed and hollow box body, and the hollow accommodating space inside the box body is used for electrically connecting the power male terminal 120 and the power female terminal 130, that is, the line portions electrically connected between the power male terminal 120 and the power female terminal 130 are all located inside the junction box 110, which can protect the line portions of the power male terminal 120 and the power female terminal 130 inside the junction box 110 while being aesthetically pleasing.

[0050] In this embodiment, the side of the junction box 110 includes a plurality of sub-side surfaces 111 spliced ​​in pairs, and each sub-side surface 111 is a plane, which facilitates the connection of the junction box 110 with the power male terminal 120 and the power female terminal 130.

[0051] In this embodiment, the power male terminal 120 and / or the power female terminal 130 can be directly fixed on the junction box 110, or can be placed outside the junction box 110 through wires, so that the light string connector 100 has a variety of connection methods with the light string, improving the connection flexibility and diversity of application scenarios of the light string connector 100. The following describes the connection methods of the junction box 110 with the power male terminal 120 and the power female terminal 130 respectively.

[0052] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, the power male terminal 120 and / or the power female terminal 130 are respectively fixed to the side surfaces of the junction box 110 .

[0053] That is, in this embodiment, only the power male terminal 120 may be fixed to the side of the junction box 110, or only the power female terminal 130 may be fixed to the side of the junction box 110, or both the power male terminal 120 and the power female terminal 130 may be fixed to the side of the junction box 110 respectively.

[0054] Among them, when the power male terminal 120 and / or the power female terminal 130 are respectively fixed on the side of the junction box 110, the power male terminal 120 and / or the power female terminal 130 can be integrally formed with the junction box 110 through injection molding, or can be directly fixed to the side of the junction box 110 through welding, screws and other fixing methods.

[0055] When the power male terminal 120 and / or the power female terminal 130 are respectively fixed on the side of the junction box 110, wherein the power male terminal 120 and the power female terminal 130 are respectively arranged on different sub-side surfaces 111 of the junction box 110; each of the power female terminals 130 is arranged on the same sub-side surface 111 or respectively arranged on different sub-side surfaces 111.

[0056] That is, in this embodiment, the power male terminal 120 is arranged on one sub-side surface 111, and the remaining sub-side surfaces 111 are provided with the power female terminals 130. One sub-side surface 111 may be provided with one power female terminal 130, or multiple power female terminals 130 may be provided at the same time. Wherein, when multiple power female terminals 130 are provided on one sub-side surface 111, the multiple power female terminals 130 may be arranged side by side in parallel, or may be arranged in a pattern array, for example, three power female terminals 130 may be arranged side by side in parallel, or three power female terminals 130 may be arranged in a triangle, etc.

[0057] When the power male terminal 120 is not directly disposed on the sub-side surface 111 of the junction box 110 , the power male terminal 120 passes through the junction box 110 through an electric wire, and the electric wire is connected to the power female terminal 130 inside the junction box 110 .

[0058] Figure 2 Shown is a schematic diagram of a configuration method of the power line hole and the power supply line hole on the sub-side surface 111 of the junction box 110 in the light string connector 100 described in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 Display as Figure 2 1 is a side view of the light string connector 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a specific implementation of this embodiment, it also includes a power cord 121, and a power cord hole is provided on the side of the junction box 110; the first end of the power cord 121 is connected to the power female terminal 130 inside the junction box 110, and the second end passes through the power cord hole and is connected to the power male terminal 120.

[0059] That is, in one embodiment, the power male terminal 120 can be placed outside the junction box 110, the first end of the power cord 121 is connected to the power female terminal 130 inside the junction box 110, and the other end passes through the power cord hole on the junction box 110 and is connected to the power male terminal 120 placed outside the junction box 110. Since the power male terminal 120 is connected to the junction box 110 through the power cord 121, it is convenient to draw power from a power source that is a certain distance away from the installation location of the junction box 110.

[0060] Among them, in a specific implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the periphery of the power cord hole is provided with a power cord guide portion 113 extending along the axial direction of the power cord hole. The power cord 121 can smoothly pass through the junction box 110 through the conductor portion of the power cord 121, and the connection between the power cord 121 and the power cord hole can be made more firm, and the power cord 121 can be better protected to prevent the power cord 121 from moving or bending arbitrarily at the connection between the power cord 121 and the power cord hole.

[0061] In this embodiment, among the multiple power supply female terminals 130, all of the power supply female terminals 130 may be directly set on the sub-side surface 111 of the junction box 110, or a part of the power supply female terminals 130 may be directly set on the sub-side surface 111 of the junction box 110 and the remaining power supply female terminals 130 may pass through the junction box 110 through wires, or all of the power supply female terminals 130 may pass through the junction box 110 through wires.

[0062] In this embodiment, when any one or more of the power supply female terminals 130 are not directly disposed on the sub-side surface 111 of the junction box 110 , the power supply female terminals 130 also pass through the junction box 110 through electric wires, and the electric wires are connected to the power male terminals 120 inside the junction box 110 .

[0063] Specifically, in a specific implementation of this embodiment, it also includes at least one power supply line 131, and at least one power supply line hole is provided on the side of the junction box 110; the first end of the power supply line 131 is connected to the power male terminal 120 inside the junction box 110, and the second end passes through the power supply line hole and is connected to the power female terminal 130.

[0064] That is, in one embodiment, the power supply female end 130 can be placed outside the junction box 110, the first end of the power supply line 131 is connected to the power supply male end 120 inside the junction box 110, and the other end passes through the power supply line hole on the junction box 110 and is connected to the power supply female end 130 placed outside the junction box 110. Since the power supply female end 130 is connected to the junction box 110 through the power supply line 131, it is convenient to connect to the light string when the installation position of the junction box 110 is at a certain distance from the installation position of the light string.

[0065] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, each of the power line holes is arranged on the same sub-side surface 111 or respectively arranged on different sub-side surfaces 111. That is, in this embodiment, the power line hole is arranged on one sub-side surface 111, and the remaining sub-side surfaces 111 are arranged with the power line holes, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a power supply line hole can be provided on a sub-side surface 111, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple power line holes can also be set at the same time. When multiple power line holes are set on a sub-side surface 111, the multiple power line holes can be set in parallel side by side or in a graphic array, for example, three power line holes are set in parallel side by side or in a triangle.

[0066] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the periphery of the power line hole is provided with a power line guide portion 112 extending along the axial direction of the power line hole. The power line 131 can smoothly pass through the junction box 110 through the power line guide portion 112, and the connection between the power line 131 and the power line hole can be made more firm, and the power line 131 can be better protected to prevent the power line 131 from moving or bending arbitrarily at the connection between the power line 131 and the power line hole.

[0067] Therefore, in this embodiment, the power male terminal 120 and / or the power female terminal 130 can be directly fixed on the junction box 110, or placed outside the junction box 110 through wires, so that the light string connector 100 has a variety of connection methods with the light string, thereby improving the connection flexibility of the light string connector 100 and the diversity of applicable scenarios.

[0068] Moreover, in the present application, multiple sides of the junction box 110 can provide a light string assembly form with a certain angle through wire outlet holes or fixed female terminals, making the mesh arrangement of the light strings more convenient and labor-saving.

[0069] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, the junction box 110 is provided with a connection hole 114, and the connection hole 114 is used to hang the light string connector 100. The connection hole 114 can be provided on the bottom surface, the top surface, or through the bottom surface and the top surface.

[0070] In addition, in addition to being connected to the light string through the power supply female end 130 , the light string connector 100 in this embodiment can also be directly connected to the light string through the power supply line 131 of the power supply female end 130 .

[0071] Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the light string connector 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is shown as a schematic diagram of connecting the light body 140 to the power line 131 of the hub box 110. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, in a specific implementation of this embodiment, a plurality of lamp bodies 140 are sequentially arranged on each of the power supply lines 131. In this way, the light string and the light string connector 100 are an integrated structure, and the light string connector 100 is a connector having a light string. The number of lamp bodies 140 arranged on the power supply line 131 can be adjusted and determined according to the actual hanging space and decoration requirements.

[0072] In this embodiment, the lamp body 140 is connected to the power supply line 131 through a flip shaft that is snap-fitted. The snap connection enables quick assembly and disassembly of the lamp body 140 without the need for additional tools. In the connection between the lamp body 140 and the power supply line 131, the power supply line 131 is connected through the snap on the flip shaft, and the lamp body 140 can be quickly installed and disassembled without the need for tools, which not only simplifies the operation process, but also reduces the maintenance cost to a certain extent, greatly facilitating daily use and maintenance.

[0073] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, a hanging member 141 is provided near the power supply female end 130 of the power supply line 131, and a hanging hole is provided on the hanging member 141 to facilitate the hanging and fixing of the light string. The size and shape of the hanging hole are determined according to the number of hanging lamp bodies 140 and the size and shape of the hung parts to ensure stable hanging and prevent slipping.

[0074] It can be seen that a plurality of lamp bodies 140 can be sequentially arranged on the power supply line 131 in the light string connector 100 of this embodiment, so that the light string connector 100 can be an integrated structure with the light string, and the lamp body 140 can be flipped and independently suspended, which greatly facilitates daily use and maintenance.

[0075] To summarize, the light string connector provided in the present application can assemble and connect multiple strings of light beads at the same time through the structural design of the junction box, the power male end and multiple power female ends. While supplying power to multiple strings of light beads, each power female end is independent, so that each string of light beads can be powered independently, which can be used in combination with the connector without destroying its property of being used alone, and effectively solves the problem in the prior art that each light string needs to be connected to a power source separately at the free end; in the present application, multiple sides of the junction box can provide a light string assembly form with a certain angle through wire outlet holes or fixed female ends, making the mesh arrangement of light strings more convenient and labor-saving; in the present application, the power male end and / or the power female end can be directly fixed on the junction box, or placed outside the junction box through wires, so that the light string connector has a variety of connection methods with the light string, thereby improving the connection flexibility of the light string connector and the diversity of applicable scenarios; in the present application, multiple lamp bodies can be arranged in sequence on the power supply line, so that the light string connector can be an integrated structure with the light string, and the lamp body can be flipped and hung independently.
