[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a connector for light strip installation, which includes a housing 10 and two connecting terminals 20.

[0031] Among them, in combination with Figures 2 - 6As shown, the housing 10 is penetrated from front to back and has a light strip interface 11 provided at one end. The light strip interface 11 includes a flat strip-shaped groove 111 at the lower part and a middle avoidance groove 112 above the flat strip-shaped groove 111. Currently, the light strip 30 generally consists of conductive strips 31 on both sides and a light bar 32 in the middle. The light bar 32 usually protrudes from the conductive strips 31. Through the setting of the flat strip-shaped groove 111, it is convenient for the insertion of the conductive strips 31. Among them, the middle avoidance groove 112 is used for the avoidance of the light bar 32 on the light strip 30 to ensure that the light bar 32 completely enters the housing 10.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, two clamping grooves 113 are formed on the lower end surface of the flat strip-shaped groove 111, and both clamping grooves 113 are arranged along the length direction of the housing 10; two slots 12 are provided at the upper end of the housing 10, and the two slots 12 correspond to the two clamping grooves 113 one by one in the vertical direction. The two connection terminals 20 are correspondingly arranged in the two slots. The connection terminal 20 is a conductor and has a sharp part 23 at the downward end.

[0033] In this embodiment, a multi-purpose interface 13 is provided at the other end of the housing 10. The multi-purpose interface 13 includes a light strip groove 131 and a cable groove 132. The light strip groove 131 matches the cross-sectional shape of the light strip 30 and both ends are for the conductive strips 31 on both sides of the light strip 30 to extend in. The cable groove 132 is communicated with the light strip groove 131 and is arranged corresponding to the two clamping grooves 113.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the connection terminal 20 includes a cross beam 21 and connection parts 22 extending downward at both ends of the cross beam 21. The sharp part 23 is located at the lower end of the connection part 22.

[0035] The arrangement of the two connection parts 22 can ensure that the connection between the light strip and the light strip or the light strip and the cable is more sufficient, and it is pressed tighter and more firmly.

[0036] On the outer side of the connection part 22, two limit protrusions 221 are sequentially arranged along the vertical direction.

[0037] The upper limit protrusion 221 can fix the connection terminal 20 before piercing, and the lower limit protrusion 22 can fix the connection terminal 20 after piercing, so as to ensure the position stability of the connection terminal 20.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the sharp part 23 includes two V-shaped spikes 231 arranged at intervals.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, a connection cover plate 14 is formed at the upper end of the housing 10. The connection cover plate 14 covers the housing 10 along the length direction, asFigure 5 As shown, the connecting cover plate 14 may also be located at a partial position in the middle of the housing 10.

[0040] For the connector for strip light installation provided in this application, through the setting of the flat strip-shaped groove 111, it is convenient for the insertion of the conductive part 31. The middle avoidance groove 112 is used for the avoidance of the light bar 32 on the strip light 30. The connection terminal 20 is installed in the slot 12. When the strip light 30 is inserted from the strip light interface 11, the other end can be inserted into the strip light or the cable according to the actual situation. Then, the connection terminal 20 is pressed. The V-shaped spikes 231 of the connection terminal 20 pierce the strip light and the strip light or the strip light and the cable below in sequence, and the part of the strip light leading to the conductive part 32 is clamped in the clamping groove 113, so as to ensure that the strip light 30 is stably fixed on the connector and ensure the luminous stability of the strip light assembly.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, and the difference lies in that, as Figure 7 shown, a cable interface 15 is provided at the other end of the housing 10. The cable interface 15 includes two circular holes arranged at intervals. This kind of connector is specially used for the connection of the strip light and the cable, and is generally used at the end position of the strip light assembly to introduce current.

[0043] Embodiment 3

[0044] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, and the difference lies in that, as Figure 5 shown, a strip light interface 11 is also provided at the other end of the housing 10.
