[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0030] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a new butt connector assembly for a lamp is installed at the end of a lamp body 1 and includes several connectors 2 of identical structure, a connector 3, and a conductive terminal 4. The connector is N-shaped or L-shaped. In this embodiment, it can be installed at one end of the lamp body or at both ends of the lamp body, achieving efficient and fast splicing. The connector is made of insulating plastic or aluminum with a spray-coated insulating layer.

[0031] In this embodiment, the connector includes an integrally formed plug-in portion 21, a connecting portion 22, and a retaining portion 23. During processing, the connecting portion is located at the end of the plug-in portion, and the connecting portion and the plug-in portion are arranged in a T-shape. The retaining portion is integrally formed on the symmetrical side surfaces of the plug-in portion. The plug-in portion is retained at the end of the lamp body by the retaining portion. During assembly, the combined width of the plug-in portion and the retaining portion matches the width of the lamp body's insertion cavity. The plug-in portion and the retaining portion are integrally inserted into the lamp body's insertion cavity and retained in position by friction between the retaining portion and the inner wall of the insertion cavity. This improves assembly efficiency and convenience, reduces the use of screws, and facilitates maintenance and repair operations.

[0032] In this embodiment, a snap groove 5 is provided on the symmetrical side surface of the connecting portion, and a U-shaped conductive cavity 6 is provided on the end face of the connecting portion, in which a conductive pin is provided; the cross-section of the snap groove is T-shaped, dovetail-shaped or L-shaped; at the same time, a snap protrusion 7 is integrally formed on the side wall of the connecting piece; the cross-section of the snap protrusion matches the cross-sectional shape of the snap groove.

[0033] During assembly, two adjacent lamp bodies are butted together, the end faces of the two connecting parts align, and the conductive terminals are connected to the two U-shaped conductive cavities and electrically connected to the conductive pins. Furthermore, the connector snaps into the outer sides of the two connecting parts, and the snap-on protrusion snaps into the snap-on groove to retain it in place. This structure can limit the connection of the connector, preventing it from loosening or falling off, and also helps protect it, improving ease of use and reliability.

[0034] In actual use, the thickness of the conductive terminal matches the width of the U-shaped conductive cavity. In this embodiment, the conductive terminal is a bidirectional conductive terminal with sockets at both ends. This bidirectional conductive terminal is primarily used when splicing adjacent lamp bodies and requires a conductive connection. In actual use, the conductive terminal is a unidirectional conductive terminal with a socket at one end and a closed end. This terminal can be installed at the end of a lamp body or when adjacent lamp bodies are spliced ​​together but a conductive connection is not required, improving ease of use and a wide range of applications.

[0035] In actual application, a conductive wire is provided on the top of the conductive terminal, which can be electrically connected to an external power source.

[0036] The present invention has positive effects: the structure of the present invention is reasonably arranged, and the connector includes an integrally formed plug-in portion, a connecting portion and a locking portion. When connected to the lamp body, the plug-in portion is inserted into the inserting cavity of the lamp body through the locking portion for positioning, which improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly, can reduce the use of screws, and can realize the splicing and positioning of adjacent lamp bodies through the connecting parts, thereby improving the convenience and effectiveness of splicing, and facilitating disassembly and maintenance operations. At the same time, the end face of the connecting portion has a U-shaped conductive cavity, and a conductive pin is provided in the U-shaped conductive cavity, and cooperates with the conductive terminal to realize electrical connection when adjacent lamp bodies are spliced, thereby improving the stability and reliability of use.

[0037] The standard parts used in this embodiment can be purchased directly from the market, and the non-standard structural components described in the specification can also be directly processed according to existing technical common sense without any doubt. At the same time, the connection method of each component adopts the mature conventional means in the existing technology, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, so no specific description is given here.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above description are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. However, obvious variations or modifications arising from the essence of the present invention remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
