DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-10 As shown, the utility model provides a lamp connection structure, including:
[0037] The elastic buckle structure 1 is fixedly arranged on the strip light source 100 and is used to achieve a structural connection with the lamp body 200;
[0038] The docking terminal 2 is arranged on the inner side of the elastic snap structure 1 and is used to achieve electrical connection with the bar light source 100 and the lamp body 200; the docking terminal 2 includes a male end 21 and a female end 22, the male end 21 is embedded in the elastic snap structure 1, and the female end 22 is plugged into the male end 21.
[0039] By using the elastic snap structure 1 and the docking terminal 2 in conjunction with each other, a quick and simple structural and electrical connection is achieved between the bar light source 100 and the lamp body 200, thereby improving the efficiency of lamp assembly and maintenance.
[0040] like Figure 7As shown, the elastic snap-fit structure 1 includes a fixed base plate 11, an elastic arm 12, a clamping portion 13, a base support 14 and a pressing portion 15. The elastic arm 12 is arranged on both sides of the fixed base plate 11 to form a space to avoid the lamp body 200. The base support 14 is arranged on the elastic arm 12. A folding angle 16 is formed between the clamping portion 13 and the elastic arm 12. The folding angle 16 protrudes toward the inner side of the fixed base plate 21; the pressing portion 15 is arranged on the top of the clamping portion 13 and bends in the direction away from the folding angle 16.
[0041] Among them, the fixed base plate 11 serves as the basic part of the entire elastic snap-fit structure. The fixed base plate 11 is fixed on the strip light source 100 to provide an installation platform for other components. The design of the elastic arm 12 allows the structure to undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation when subjected to external force, thereby adapting to different installation conditions and environments. The clamping portion 13 is connected to the elastic arm 12, and a folding angle 16 is formed between the clamping portion 13 and the elastic arm 12. This folding angle 16 is used to clamp with the lamp body 200 to ensure the stability of the structural connection. The base 14 is provided on the elastic arm 12 to provide support for the clamping portion 13 and enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire elastic snap-fit structure 1; the function of the pressing portion 15 is to achieve elastic deformation of the elastic arm 12 by applying pressure during installation or disassembly, thereby inserting or releasing the lamp body 200.
[0042] The design of the elastic snap structure 1 allows space in the lamp body 200 to be avoided, making installation and disassembly easier. At the same time, the design of the corner 16 and the pressing portion 15 makes the connection more stable, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection structure.
[0043] When the lamp body 200 needs to be installed, the pressing part 15 is pressed to cause the elastic arm 12 to deform elastically, and the folded corner 16 moves accordingly, providing installation space for the lamp body 200. The lamp body 200 is aligned and inserted into the elastic buckle structure 1, and the pressure of the pressing part 15 is released. The elastic arm 12 returns to its original shape, and the folded corner 16 is engaged with the lamp body 200 to achieve structural fixation. When removing, the above process is repeated, and the elastic arm 12 is deformed by pressing the pressing part 15 to release the lamp body 200. Figure 9 As shown, the lamp body 200 is installed on the linear light source 100 through the connection structure of the present invention.
[0044] In this embodiment, the elastic snap-fit structure 1 is formed by bending two corners 16 from sheet metal. A base 14 is provided below the corners 16 to increase interference while preventing the strip light source 100 from moving up or down. The fixed base 11 is fixed to the bar light source 100 via screws. When the bar light source 100 is docked with the lamp body 200, the interference between the corners 16 and the lamp body 200 occurs. The external pressure from the pressing portion 15 causes the elastic snap-fit structure 1 to spring outward, leaving a margin. When the strip light source 100 is further installed into the avoidance space of the lamp body 200, the elastic snap-fit structure 1 rebounds, interfering with the lamp body 200. At the same time, the base 14 prevents the strip light source 100 from shaking.
[0045] Because the elastic snap-fit structure 1 is a sheet metal structure, there's no need to manually unfold the elastic snap-fit structure 1 during installation to attach it to the lamp body 200. For removal, simply gently press the sidewall of the pressing portion 15 to release the lamp body 200. In this embodiment, the elastic snap-fit structure 1 is made of spring steel or manganese steel, offering stable performance, regardless of ambient temperature, and fatigue resistance.
[0046] Preferably, the inclination angle of the clamping portion 13 is greater than the inclination angle of the pressing portion 15. The design of the clamping portion 13 having a larger inclination angle than the pressing portion 15 enhances the clamping strength of the elastic buckle structure 1, ensuring the tightness of the connection and the stability of the lamp body 200.
[0047] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the male end 21 includes a male end body 211 and a male pin 212. A male end circuit board 213 is provided in the male end body 211. The male pin 212 is welded on the male end circuit board 213, and the male pin 212 is wrapped and arranged inside the male end body 21; Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the female end 22 is provided with a female end body 221 and a female pin 222. A female end circuit board 223 is provided inside the female end body 221. The female pin 222 is welded to the female end circuit board 223, and the free end of the female pin 222 protrudes from the female end body 221. The bottom end of the female pin 222 is provided with a positioning hole 226 for the male pin 212 to be plugged in. When the male end body 211 and the female end body 221 are docked, the male pin 212 and the female pin 222 are plugged in together. The design of the male end 21 allows the male pin 212 to be wrapped inside the male end body 211. This structural design helps to protect the male end circuit board 213 and the male pin 212, reduce the impact of the external environment on the electrical connection part, and improve the safety and reliability of the connection.
[0048] The design of the female end 22 allows the free end of the female pin 222 to protrude from the female end body 221 and is provided with a positioning hole 226. This structural design makes the male and female ends more accurately and firmly connected, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrical connection.
[0049] Furthermore, a raised rib 214 is provided on the inner wall of the male end body 211, and a retaining groove 224 is provided on the female end body 22. When the male end 21 and the female end 22 are mated, the raised rib 214 can be inserted into the retaining groove 224, forming a foolproof structure. The foolproof structure design can prevent incorrect docking and ensure the accuracy and safety of docking.
[0050] In this embodiment, the female end body 22 is provided with fixing portions 225 on both sides thereof for connection to the lamp body 200. The fixing portions 225 are provided with screw mounting holes. The screw mounting holes on both sides of the female end body 22 provide a more secure connection between the female end 22 and the lamp body 200, improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure.
[0051] In this embodiment, the back of the male end body 21 is provided with a first waterproof pad 215, and the back of the female end body 22 is provided with a second waterproof pad 227. The outer side of the male end body 21 is provided with a waterproof ring 28 at the joint between the male end body 21 and the female end body 22. It realizes waterproofing from top to bottom, not only between the terminals but also between the terminals and the mounting end. Specifically, Figure 10 As shown, the first waterproof pad 215 realizes waterproofing between the male end body 21 and the bar light source 100, and the second waterproof pad 227 realizes waterproofing between the female end body 22 and the elastic snap structure 1. A waterproof ring 28 is provided at the joint of the male end body 21 and the female end body 22, which further enhances the waterproof performance between the male end 21 and the female end 22, protects the electrical connection part from moisture erosion, and improves the reliability of the lamp in a humid environment.
[0052] Furthermore, the fixing base plate 11 is provided with a mounting groove 111 for mounting the docking terminal 2. The design of the mounting groove 111 makes the installation of the docking terminal 2 more convenient and quick, thereby improving the installation efficiency and maintenance convenience of the lamp connection structure.
[0053] In addition, the fixing base plate 11 is provided with fixing holes 112 on both sides of the mounting groove 111 .
[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
