[0002] As an innovative technology widely used in the fields of advertising, lighting, and display, light box technology is highly favored for its characteristics such as high brightness, uniformity, and energy efficiency. Its main function is to provide high-quality backlight illumination, making the advertising content or display information more distinct and eye-catching. However, despite the excellent performance of light box technology in various aspects, there are still some challenges in terms of sealing and ease of installation.

[0003] Light boxes are often affected by various harsh weather conditions in outdoor applications, such as rain, sand, and wind. Therefore, the sealing of light boxes is particularly important. Poor sealing may cause rainwater to seep in, damage the internal circuit and light source, reduce the lighting effect, and even affect the service life of the equipment. The ease of installation of light boxes is directly related to the installation efficiency and cost of the equipment. Some traditional light boxes may have complex installation procedures and cumbersome steps, resulting in an extended construction period and increased labor costs. Therefore, light box technology needs to pay more attention to ease of installation in design, adopt intelligent design and modular components, and reduce the installation difficulty. Summary of the Utility Model

[0031] The acrylic plate 4, the upper end of the acrylic plate 4 is inserted into the installation opening of the F-shaped connector 2, and the lower end of the acrylic plate 4 is inserted into the installation opening of the h-shaped connector 3; the thickness of the above acrylic plate is preferably between 1 mm and 5 mm. The upper part of the acrylic plate is a flat structure, which is convenient for directly inserting into the installation opening of the F-shaped connector 2; the lower part of the acrylic plate is provided with an upward curling edge, which is convenient for inserting the curling edge part into the installation opening of the h-shaped connector 3.

[0032] The lamp 5 is connected to the top plate 1; the above lamp can be a fluorescent lamp or an LED lamp.

[0033] The above top plate 1, back plate 6, F-shaped connector 2, h-shaped connector 3, and acrylic plate 4 form a lamp box pre-assembly; both ends of the lamp box pre-assembly are open structures. When assembling an outdoor-use acrylic lamp box, the above lamp box pre-assembly and the lamp can be assembled first, and then the lamp box end caps 9 can be installed at the open positions at both ends of the lamp box pre-assembly.

[0034] The outdoor-use acrylic lamp box in the above embodiment of the present application simplifies the structure assembly form through structural design and innovation. When assembling, the top plate, back plate, acrylic plate, and lamp box cover can be assembled and connected one by one to achieve the assembly and sealing of the lamp box.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of an outdoor - usable acrylic light box, a seal is provided at the connection position between the light - box end cap 9 and the light - box pre - assembly. For example, the light - box end cap is of a plate - like structure, and the seal is a rubber pad or a rubber ring. The seal is arranged at the end of the light - box pre - assembly, and then the light - box cover is used to press and seal it. The light - box cover and the light - box pre - assembly can be connected by bolts.

[0036] In another specific embodiment of an outdoor - usable acrylic light box, as shown in Figures 4 to 7 Figure, the light - box end cap 9 includes:

[0037] A cover plate 91, the size of the cover plate is larger than the end - contour size of the light - box pre - assembly to facilitate the blocking of both ends of the light - box pre - assembly; the material of the cover plate can be plastic or metal, and preferably acrylic material is used.

[0038] An installation platform 92, the installation platform 92 is arranged on one side of the cover plate 91, and the interior of the installation platform is a cavity structure. Components such as inserting rods are installed in the cavity inside the installation platform;

[0039] A sealing bladder 93, the sealing bladder can be made of elastic materials such as rubber. The interior of the sealing bladder 93 is an air cavity 931. The size of the sealing bladder in the uncompressed state is preferably smaller than or equal to the size of the port of the light - box pre - assembly to facilitate insertion into the port. The sealing bladder 93 is connected to the installation platform 92;

[0040] A pressing plate 94, the pressing plate 94 is connected to the outside of the sealing bladder 93; the size of the pressing plate is preferably smaller than or equal to the size of the port of the light - box pre - assembly to facilitate insertion into the port of the light - box pre - assembly.

When the pressing plate is inserted into the light - box pre - assembly, the pressing plate is blocked by the retaining ring and stops moving, generating a squeezing force on the sealing bladder. After the sealing bladder is squeezed, its size in the axial direction of the light - box pre - assembly shrinks. Due to the existence of internal air pressure, it expands circumferentially in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the light - box pre - assembly. Due to the expansion of the sealing bladder, it makes close and sealed contact with the inner wall of the light - box pre - assembly.

[0041] An inserting rod 96, an installation cavity is provided inside the installation platform 92, and the inserting rod 96 is installed in the installation cavity through a base 95; as shown in Figure 7As shown, two bases 95 are arranged in the installation cavity, and holes for the insertion rods to pass through are provided at corresponding positions on the installation table; insertion holes 42 corresponding to the insertion rods 96 are provided at corresponding positions on the acrylic board 4; an opening 911 is provided on the cover plate 91, and the dial block 97 is arranged on the other side of the cover plate 91 and connected to the insertion rod 96. With the above structure, when the dial block is toggled to drive the insertion rod to move, the insertion rod is inserted into the insertion hole 42 on the acrylic board, thereby realizing the position fixation between the lamp box end cover and the lamp box pre-assembly. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the insertion rod from automatically disengaging after being inserted into the insertion hole, the sizes of the insertion rod and the installation hole on the base are designed so that there is sufficient frictional force between the insertion rod and the base. In another embodiment, an elastic reset member is further included. The elastic reset member is installed in the installation cavity, and the elastic reset member pushes the insertion rod 96 to insert into the insertion hole 42. For example, a spring is sleeved on the insertion rod. One end of the spring is fixed to the insertion rod, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the base or the inner wall of the installation table. The elastic force provided when the spring is compressed prevents the insertion rod from automatically disengaging after being inserted into the insertion hole.

[0042] When assembling the outdoor-use acrylic lamp box of the above embodiment of the present utility model, first, toggle the dial block to move the insertion rod upward to prevent the insertion rod from interfering when the lamp box cover is combined with the lamp box pre-assembly. Move the lamp box cover towards the lamp box pre-assembly so that the pressure plate and the sealing capsule enter the interior of the lamp box pre-assembly. When the pressure plate contacts the retaining ring, the pressure plate squeezes the sealing capsule. After being squeezed, the size of the sealing capsule in the axial direction of the lamp box pre-assembly decreases, and due to the existence of the internal air pressure, it expands circumferentially in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the lamp box pre-assembly. Due to the expansion of the sealing capsule, it is in close and sealed contact with the inner wall of the lamp box pre-assembly; at this time, toggle the dial block downward (or only need to release the dial block when there is an elastic reset member) to drive the insertion rod to insert into the insertion hole, thereby realizing the position fixation between the lamp box end cover and the lamp box pre-assembly. The outdoor-use acrylic lamp box with the above structure has a better end sealing effect and can avoid the influence of various harsh climatic conditions in outdoor applications.

[0043] The disclosed technical features are not limited to the combinations with other disclosed features. Those skilled in the art can also make other combinations among the technical features according to the purpose of the utility model, subject to achieving the purpose of the present utility model.
