[0026] Refer to Figures 1 to 5, in some embodiments, the present utility model discloses an LED light tube with a plug-in drive, which includes:
[0027] Referring to Figure 1 in combination with Figure 2 the LED light tube main body 100 shown, the shape of the LED light tube main body 100 is a relatively long cylindrical shape. The LED light tube main body 100 includes a lamp housing 110 and a lamp board 120 disposed inside the lamp housing 110. A plurality of lamp beads are provided on the lamp board 120 for illumination. One end of the lamp board 120 is provided with a drive interface 121, and a plug-in cavity 111 is opened at one end of the lamp housing 110 corresponding to the drive interface 121. Referring to Figure 3 As shown, the drive interface 121 corresponding to one end of the lamp board 120 is used for electrically connecting with a drive mechanism, and the commercial power is processed through the drive interface to supply power to the lamp beads on the lamp board.
[0028] Referring to Figure 4 in combination with Figure 5 the drive mechanism 200 shown, the drive mechanism is used for connecting the commercial power for conversion to supply power to the LED. The drive mechanism 200 includes a housing assembly 210 and a drive component 220 disposed inside the housing assembly 210. One end of the drive component 220 is provided with a first plug-in part 221. The drive component is a drive module, and usually components such as capacitors, resistors, and inductors are arranged on a PCB circuit board to form a drive module.
[0029] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the LED light tube main body and the drive mechanism are two independent components. The first plug-in part 221 and the drive interface 121 are correspondingly detachably connected. The shape of the housing assembly 210 matches the shape of the plug-in cavity 111, and the housing assembly 210 and the lamp housing 110 are correspondingly detachably connected. The drive mechanism is plugged into the drive interface 121 inside the plug-in cavity 111 through the first plug-in part 221, so that the two can be disassembled. When the drive mechanism or the LED light tube main body is damaged, the user can freely replace any component, which is more convenient for the operator to replace.
[0030] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 in combination with Figure 2 As shown, the other end of the drive component 220 is provided with a second plug-in part 222 for connecting with a light tube bracket, and the other end of the lamp housing 110 is provided with a third plug-in part 112 for connecting with the light tube bracket. Both ends of the LED light tube are installed on the light tube bracket through independent plug-in parts, so that the light tube bracket can fix and limit both ends of the light tube, and it is not easy for the connection between the LED light tube main body and the drive mechanism to become loose.
[0031] Referring to Figures 3 to 4As shown, a convex portion 113 in the same insertion direction as the driving mechanism 200 is provided on the inner wall of the insertion cavity 111. A groove 211 corresponding to the convex portion 113 is provided on the outer wall of the housing assembly 210. The outer wall of the housing assembly 210 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the insertion cavity 111 by clamping. The structure with the corresponding convex portion and groove enables the operator to align the installation of the two components more accurately for assembly, making the assembly efficiency of factory personnel higher, and even inexperienced operators can quickly start the assembly.
[0032] Referring to Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the housing assembly 210 includes a first housing 213 and a second housing 212. The side of the first housing 213 is clamped and connected to the side of the second housing 212. The driving assembly 220 is arranged inside the installation cavity formed inside the first housing 213 and the second housing 212. The driving assembly 220 is arranged inside the installation cavity. A first heat dissipation gap 214 is provided at the connection between the first housing 213 and the second housing 212. A first clamping block 215 for clamping and connecting with the inner wall of the insertion cavity 111 is further provided on the first housing 213. A second gap 216 is provided on the first housing 213 around the first clamping block 215. The first heat dissipation gap 214, the second gap 216 and the installation cavity communicate with each other. The clamping connection structure between the first housing and the second housing does not require other bolt fixing components, enabling the operator to assemble without additional tools such as screwdrivers, and it is also convenient for maintenance personnel to replace the possibly replaceable driving assembly 220. Since the components of the driving assembly have the characteristic of generating heat, multiple gaps such as the first heat dissipation gap 214 can facilitate heat dissipation to the outside. The second gap 216 around the first clamping block 215 can not only dissipate heat but also isolate the clamping block, making the clamping block cooperate with the clamping block inside the insertion cavity 111 elastic.
[0033] Further, a second heat dissipation gap is provided between the inner wall of the insertion cavity 111 and the housing assembly 210. The second heat dissipation gap communicates with the first heat dissipation gap 214, the second gap 216, the installation cavity and the outside respectively. When the driving mechanism is inserted into the insertion cavity 111, heat can continue to be dissipated to the outside through the second heat dissipation gap, increasing the reliability of the lamp.
[0034] Continuing to refer to Figures 4 to 5 As shown, a reinforcing rib 217 is provided at the connection between the first clamping block 215 and the first housing 213, increasing the overall strength of the lamp.
[0035] Referring to Figure 2As shown, the LED light tube body 100 includes a mounting bracket 130 disposed inside the lamp housing 110. One side surface of the mounting bracket 130 is mutually matched with the inner wall shape of the lamp housing 110, and the lamp board 120 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting bracket 130. The mounting bracket cooperates with the lamp board to be fixed inside the lamp housing and is not easily displaced, so that the lamp board maintains a certain linear shape inside the lamp housing.
[0036] In some embodiments, the first plugging component 221 is a plugging pin, and the driving interface 121 is correspondingly provided with the plugging pin, and the two structures are more easily plugged together.
[0037] As mentioned above, it is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
