Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LED tube technology, specifically to an easy-to-install LED tube. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development and maturation of LED lighting technology, LED tubes are replacing incandescent and fluorescent lamps. Compared to fluorescent tubes, which require the filling of inert gas and mercury, LED tubes do not contain mercury. Therefore, LED tubes are a safer choice for homes and offices. Compared to the high power consumption of incandescent bulbs, LED tubes consume less power and provide a wider illumination range, making them a more economical option. Consequently, considering various influencing factors, people often choose LED tubes as their preferred lighting device for daily life and work.

[0003] However, in routine LED tube installation, the fixed and non-retractable wiring terminals make the process cumbersome, requiring the installation of one end before the other, making simultaneous installation impossible and resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the fixed and exposed wiring terminals are susceptible to contamination from water, dust, and other foreign objects, affecting the tube's normal operation. They may also be damaged by foot traffic or external pressure, further compromising the LED tube's functionality. Moreover, the exposed wiring terminals pose a safety risk during installation.

[0004] As disclosed in the patent announcement CN208886423U, an easy-to-install LED tube includes a tube with an LED strip inside. An LED is located at the bottom of the LED strip. Both ends of the tube have mounting bases. A power socket is slidably connected to the inner wall of each mounting base. Baffles are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of each mounting base. A spring is fixedly connected to the end of each baffle near the power socket. Symmetrically distributed power sockets are located at the outer end of the power socket. A power connection socket is located inside the mounting base. This invention, by using mutually sliding mounting bases and a power socket, allows the power socket to be easily retracted. The easily retractable power socket allows the power socket to be easily inserted into the mounting base during gentle compression, preventing instability or damage due to increased or decreased pressure. Furthermore, this invention has a reasonable structure and is easy to use. However, the structure of this utility model is relatively complex and lacks shielding of the connecting groove and convenient lamp tube docking measures, which makes it difficult to ensure the dustproof and waterproof effect of the wiring terminal and the series use of lamp tubes. Therefore, we propose an easy-to-install LED lamp tube, which simplifies the assembly structure, solves the problems of exposed connecting groove and lamp tube docking of this utility model, and improves the service life and practical effect of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-install LED tube to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An easy-to-install LED tube includes an LED base, one end of which is provided with a power socket and the other end with a connector; mounting blocks are provided at both ends of the LED base, each mounting block having a mounting groove, the mounting groove containing a power terminal, and an LED tube installed between the mounting grooves; the outer wall of the mounting block is provided with a sliding groove and a snap-fit ​​protrusion, and an end cap is snap-fitted onto the outer side of the mounting block, the inner wall of the end cap having a sliding strip and a snap-fit ​​groove corresponding to the sliding groove and the snap-fit ​​protrusion, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the power-on end of the LED tube is connected to the power-connecting terminal, and the power socket, connector and LED lamp base are integrated into one unit.

[0009] Preferably, the LED lamp base has slots on both sides, and a protective shell is snap-fitted onto the outside of the LED lamp base.

[0010] Preferably, the protective shell is made of aluminum, and a fixing component is installed on the outside of the protective shell.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing component includes a retaining ring, a fixing screw, and an expansion tube, and the retaining ring has a fixing hole in the middle.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing screw passes through the fixing hole and is matched with the expansion tube, and the snap ring is installed on the outside of the protective shell.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. This easy-to-install LED tube utilizes a sliding strip and snap-fit ​​groove on the inner wall of the end cap, which interacts with a sliding groove and snap-fit ​​protrusion on the outer wall of the mounting block. When both ends of the LED tube are installed into the mounting groove, the end cap is snapped onto the outside of the mounting block, achieving a shielding effect on the mounting groove and preventing the lamp from being affected by dust or moisture during use, thus extending the lamp's lifespan. The cooperation between the sliding strip and the sliding groove provides a reference positioning effect for the installer, thereby improving assembly efficiency and quality.

[0015] 2. This easy-to-install LED tube uses a power socket at one end of the LED base and a connector at the other end. When multiple LED tubes need to be used in series, simply connect the power socket and the connector to achieve the light strip effect. This not only improves the ease of installation but also expands the applicability of the lamp. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] An easy-to-install LED tube includes an LED base 100. One end of the LED base 100 is provided with a power socket 101, and the other end is provided with a connector 102. Mounting blocks 103 are provided at both ends of the LED base 100. Mounting blocks 103 have mounting grooves 104. Power terminals are provided inside the mounting grooves 104. An LED tube 105 is installed between the mounting grooves 104. The outer wall of the mounting block 103 is provided with a sliding groove 107 and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 106. An end cap 108 is snap-fitted onto the outer side of the mounting block 103. The inner wall of the end cap 108 is provided with a sliding strip 109 and a snap-fit ​​groove 110 corresponding to the sliding groove 107 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 106, respectively.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the power-on end of the LED tube 105 is connected to the power terminal, and the power socket 101, the connector 102 and the LED lamp base 100 are integrated into one unit.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the LED lamp base 100 has slots 111 on both sides, and a protective shell 112 is snapped onto the outside of the LED lamp base 100.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the protective shell 112 is made of aluminum, and a fixing component 113 is installed on the outside of the protective shell 112.

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the fixing component 113 includes a retaining ring 200, a fixing screw 201, and an expansion tube 202, and the retaining ring 200 has a fixing hole 203 in the middle.

[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, the fixing screw 201 passes through the fixing hole 203 and is matched with the expansion tube 202, and the snap ring 200 is snapped on the outside of the protective shell 112.

[0030] In this embodiment, an easy-to-install LED tube is first installed into the mounting slots 104 of the mounting block 103. Then, the end cap 108 is fixed to both ends of the LED base 100 via the sliding strips 109 and snap-fit ​​grooves 110 on the inner wall of the end cap 108, corresponding to the sliding grooves 107 and snap-fit ​​protrusions 106 on the outer wall of the mounting block 103. This achieves the shielding effect of the mounting slots 104, preventing the tube terminals from being exposed for extended periods and potentially contaminated by water, dust, or other foreign matter, which could affect the normal operation of the tube. Next, the protective housing 112 is snap-fitted onto the outside of the LED base 100. The protective housing 112 is made of aluminum, which not only protects the lamp but also has excellent thermal conductivity and heat dissipation properties, allowing for rapid dissipation of heat generated during operation and preventing overheating that could lead to performance degradation or rapid wear. Then, by passing the fixing screw 201 of the fixing component 113 through the fixing hole 203 and using the expansion tube 202 that matches the fixing bolt, the retaining spring 200 is fixed to the wall. Finally, the protective shell 112 is snapped into the retaining spring 200, thus completing the installation of the LED tube 105. The power socket 101 at one end of the LED lamp base 100 and the connector 102 at the other end facilitate the series connection of multiple LED tubes 105 to form a light strip effect, expanding the applicability of the LED tube 105. The LED tube 105 is a 24-volt product. Through the matching controller, it outputs a signal to the circuit board, and then is powered by a 24-volt transformer. This allows the LED beads and chips inside the LED tube 105 to receive the signal from the controller and operate, producing various light colors.
