[0025] The present utility model provides a strip light connector. Please refer to Figures 1 to 5, the strip connector 10 includes a connector body 1, a first conductive member 2 and a second conductive member 3; the projection of the connector body 1 in its thickness direction is rectangular, and is provided with a first strip groove 11 that penetrates its left and right sides (along the width direction of the connector body 1) and is used for the first strip 201 to be inserted or passed through horizontally (along the width direction of the connector body 1), and a second strip groove 12 that penetrates its lower side and is used for the second strip 202 to be inserted longitudinally (along the length direction of the connector body 1). The first strip groove 11 and the second strip groove 12 are arranged in a "T" shape, and are used for the first strip 201 and the second strip 202 to be connected in an L shape or a T shape; the first conductive member 2 is used to connect to the first conductive parts of the first strip 201 and the second strip 202. A first fixing groove 131 for the first conductive member 2 to be inserted is provided on the front surface of the connector body 1. The first fixing groove 131 is in an L shape and communicates with the upper side of the first strip groove 11 and the left side of the second strip groove 12. The first conductive member 2 can be inserted into the first fixing groove 131 to connect the first strip 201 and the second strip 202; the strip connector 10 further includes a second conductive member 3, which is used to connect to the second conductive parts of the first strip 201 and the second strip 202. A second fixing groove 132 for the second conductive member 3 to be inserted is provided on the front surface of the connector body 1. The second fixing groove 132 is in an L shape and communicates with the lower side of the first strip groove 11 and the right side of the second strip groove 12. The second conductive member 3 can be inserted into the second fixing groove 132 to connect the first strip 201 and the second strip 202. The utility model can connect two strips in an L shape or a T shape. The strip connector 10 has good versatility, can meet different application scenarios, and there is no need to design, manufacture, and purchase different connectors for different application requirements. It is convenient, flexible, and low-cost to use, and has a good user experience.
[0026] Moreover, it can be understood that the projection of the strip connector 10 of the utility model is rectangular. Compared with strip connectors with a "cross" shape, "T" shape or "L" shape, it not only conforms to the symmetrical aesthetics better, but also has a more square and independent shape, which is convenient for installation in installation slots such as lamp slots. The design on the strip connector 10 (such as the first conductive member 2 and the second conductive member 3 are arranged oppositely and the first conductive member 2 semi-surrounds the second conductive member 3) has a compact position, effectively reduces the volume of the strip connector 10, can avoid affecting the installation of other devices, helps users reasonably save the accommodation space, and further improves the user experience.
[0027] It can be understood that, as the first installation mode (T-shaped installation) of the light strip connector 10, the first light strip 201 can horizontally pass through the openings on the left side and the right side of the first light strip groove 11, and the upper end of the second light strip 202 extends into the second light strip groove 12 and is close to (or abuts against) the side surface of the first light strip 201. At this time, the first light strip 201 and the second light strip 202 are connected in a T shape. As the second installation mode (L-shaped installation) of the light strip connector 10, the end of the first light strip 201 passes through the opening on the left side or the right side of the first light strip groove 11 and can be flush with the side surface on the other side, but does not pass through the opening on the other side. The upper end of the second light strip 202 can be close to the side surface of the first light strip 201, and the first light strip 201 and the second light strip 202 are connected in an L shape.
[0028] It should be noted that the "L" shape or "T" shape mentioned in the present utility model is only the approximate shape of the components or their arrangement. As long as the components or their arrangement are bent approximately along the "L" shape or "T" shape, it is not necessary to strictly limit the specific shape of each component, nor is it necessary to strictly limit the bending angle to 90°. For example, the second fixing groove 132 includes a bent first part and a second part, and the lengths of the first part and the second part can be approximately equal, not strictly limited to the ratio of the "L" shape.
[0029] For the connector body 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , preferably, a positioning wall 141 can be provided between the first light strip groove 11 and the second light strip groove 12 to facilitate the positioning of the second light strip 202; or, the first light strip groove 11 and the second light strip groove 12 are vertically connected in a "T" shape, and the second light strip groove 12 can be directly connected to the first light strip groove 11.
[0030] Preferably, please refer to Figure 1 , the first light strip groove 11 and the second light strip groove 12 can be inverted "T" shaped grooves and penetrate to the front surface of the connector body 1 to avoid affecting the light emission of the lamp beads of the first light strip 201 and the second light strip 202.

With such a setting, the first fixing groove 131 can be conveniently provided on the blocking wall during processing and preparation, and the first fixing groove 131 can directly penetrate through the front surface of the blocking wall to communicate with the first light strip groove 11, which not only simplifies the processing process but also can effectively utilize the space of the connector body 1. Optionally, along the up-down direction of the connector body 1, the opening of the first substrate groove portion 111 may also be larger than the opening of the first lamp bead groove portion 112, so as to be able to adapt to the shape of the first light strip 201 (the length of the first substrate 2011 of the first light strip 201 in the up-down direction is greater than that of the first lamp bead 2012), which is convenient for the first light strip 201 to horizontally extend into or pass through the first light strip groove 11.
[0033] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5, along the up-and-down direction of the connector body 1, the opening of the second substrate groove portion 121 can be larger than the opening of the second lamp bead groove portion 122, that is, the second substrate groove portion 121 penetrates through the lower side surface of the connector body 1 for a first distance, and the first lamp bead groove portion 112 penetrates through the lower side surface of the connector body 1 for a second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance, so that a blocking wall (that is, the portion of the second horizontal portion 1522b close to the second lamp bead 2022) is formed on the connector body 1 facing the second lamp bead. With such a setting, during processing and preparation, the second fixing groove 132 can be conveniently provided on the blocking wall, and the second fixing groove 132 can directly penetrate through the front surface of the blocking wall to communicate with the second light strip groove 12, which not only simplifies the processing process but also can effectively utilize the space of the connector body 1.
