[0002] The DIP switch of a lighting driver is usually located on the back or side of the device. A DIP switch, also known as a DIP switch or toggle switch, is an electronic switch device that sets or changes device parameters through simple toggling operations. It is widely used in various electronic devices, including lighting drivers, to provide a convenient way to adjust the configuration or function of the device. The use and adjustment process of DIP switches may vary depending on the specific device or system, but generally, these switches are located in easily accessible positions on the device, such as the back or side of the device, so that users can set or adjust according to their needs.

[0003] Most of the DIP switches on existing lighting drivers can be freely adjusted. However, when it is necessary to limit the DIP switch on the lighting driver to a specific state, it is not convenient to lock the DIP switch on the lighting driver, and it is easy for personnel to accidentally touch or adjust it. It is not convenient to lock the DIP switch, making it impossible for others to intentionally or accidentally adjust the DIP switch. Utility Model Content

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0021] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The following will detail this application with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] See Figures 1 - 4 , this embodiment provides a lighting driver with a lockable DIP switch, including a lighting driver body 1. A switch 2 is arranged on the front surface of the lighting driver body 1. The switch 2 is a structure on the lighting driver body 1 and is prior art. A locking component 3 is arranged above the switch 2. The locking component 3 includes a support plate 301. The shape of the support plate 301 is L-shaped. A slide rail 302 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the support plate 301. The cross-sectional shape of the slide rail 302 is T-shaped. A slider 303 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the slide rail 302. A T-shaped chute adapted to the slide rail 302 is arranged on the slider 303. A connecting bar 304 is hinged to the front surface of the slider 303. The connecting bar 304 is hinged above the switch 2. When the switch 2 is toggled, it can drive the connecting bar 304 to make the slider 303 slide on the slide rail 302. A fixing plate 305 is fixedly connected to the right side of the slider 303. Through holes 306 are formed in the front surface of the fixing plate 305. The number of through holes 306 on a single fixing plate 305 is two. The locking component 3 further includes a plug rod 307. The plug rod 307 movably penetrates through the rear of the support plate 301. The plug rod 307 is adapted to the through holes 306. A connecting plate 308 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the plug rod 307. A bolt 4 threadedly penetrates through the bottom inner surface of the support plate 301. The bolt 4 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the lighting driver body 1.

[0024] When the above device is in specific use, the lighting driver body 1 is adjusted by toggling the switch 2. When toggling the switch 2, the switch 2 drives the connecting bar 304, and the connecting bar 304 drives the slider 303 to slide on the slide rail 302. The sliding of the slider 303 drives the fixed plate 305 to move, and the positions of the two through holes 306 on the fixed plate 305 change. When it is necessary to fix the switch 2, the screw 502 is rotated to drive the push piece 501, so that the connecting plate 308 drives the insertion rod 307 to move forward. The insertion rod 307 protrudes from the front of the support plate 301 and is inserted into the through hole 306 on the fixed plate 305. At this time, the fixed plate 305 is fixed, and the slider 303 cannot slide on the slide rail 302, thereby fixing the switch 2 connected to the slider 303 through the connecting bar 304 and making the switch 2 unable to be toggled.

[0025] Embodiment 2

[0026] See Figures 1 - 4 , on the basis of Embodiment 1, an adjustment component 5 is arranged below the connecting plate 308. The adjustment component 5 includes a push piece 501, and the push piece 501 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting plate 308. The push piece 501 is used to drive the connecting plate 308 to move the insertion rod 307. A screw 502 is threadedly penetrated through the rear of the push piece 501. A threaded hole adapted to the screw 502 is arranged on the push piece 501. The screw 502 is rotatably connected to the rear of the support plate 301. The screw 502 can drive the push piece 501 to move the connecting plate 308 under the limiting action of the insertion rod 307. A padlock component 6 is arranged above the connecting plate 308. The padlock component 6 includes a fixing rod 601, and the shape of the fixing rod 601 is U-shaped. The fixing rod 601 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the connecting plate 308. The padlock component 6 further includes a fixing ring 602, and the position of the fixing ring 602 corresponds to that of the fixing rod 601. The fixing ring 602 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support plate 301. The fixing ring 602 and the fixing rod 601 can be fixed by hanging a padlock.

[0027] When the above device is in specific use, when the screw 502 is rotated to drive the push piece 501 to drive the connecting plate 308 to drive the insertion rod 307 to move forward, the insertion rod 307 cooperates with the support plate 301 to play a limiting role. When the connecting plate 308 is pushed until the insertion rod 307 fixes the fixed plate 305, the screw 502 is continuously rotated to make the connecting plate 308 continue to move until it is close to the support plate 301. At this time, the fixing rod 601 on the connecting plate 308 will approach the fixing ring 602 on the support plate 301, and the fixing rod 601 and the fixing ring 602 are fixed by hanging a padlock, so that the insertion rod 307 cannot be disengaged from the through hole 306 on the fixed plate 305.

[0028] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, making equivalent substitutions or changes, shall be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
