[0031] In LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting fixtures, the driver is an electronic device that drives the fixture to emit light or enables it to function properly. LED lighting fixtures can only adapt to a limited range of voltage and current variations. Deviations from this range may cause the LED to fail to light up, severely reduce its luminous efficiency, shorten its lifespan, or even burn out the chip. A driver specifically designed for LED lighting fixtures can provide the LED with the optimal voltage or current, ensuring that the LED works well. Therefore, the LED driver is the key component of LED lighting fixtures.

[0032] In related technologies, most lamp drivers have input lines. After stripping the input lines, they are connected to the mains power line and then insulated to achieve electrical connection with the mains. This process is complex, costly, and provides a poor installation experience.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The driver 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a housing 10, a driving module 12 and a conductive component 14. An accommodating space 16 is formed inside the housing 10. The conductive component 14 and the driving module 12 are accommodated in the accommodating space 16. The conductive component 14 is electrically connected to the driving module 12. The conductive component 14 includes a first conductive element 18 and a second conductive element 20. The housing 10 has a plug-in hole 22. The plug-in hole 22 is configured to allow a power input line 23 to extend between the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20 so that the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20 clamp the power input line 23, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the power input line 23 and the conductive component 14.

[0034] In the aforementioned driver 100, the housing 10 has a plug-in hole 22, and the power input line 23 extends between the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20, so that the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20 clamp the power input line 23, so that the driver module 12 can achieve electrical connection with the power supply. The connection method is simple and reliable, and the installation is convenient.

[0035] Specifically, the driver 100 is used to connect to the power input line 23, which includes an AC power input line or an input line connected to a power bank or battery. The power input line 23 is used to supply power to the drive module 12 in the driver unit.

[0036] The driving component includes a housing 10, a driving module 12, and a conductive component 14. Among them, the driving module 12 is the core component of the driver 100, and the driving module 12 is used to convert the power supply voltage into a voltage and current suitable for LED light emission.

[0037] The conductive component 14 is used to clamp and fix the power input line 23 of the external power source and realize the electrical connection between the power input line 23 and the drive module 12, so as to supply power to the drive module 12.

[0038] The housing 10 is made of insulating material, and an accommodating space 16 is formed within the housing 10, in which the conductive component 14 and the drive module 12 are housed. The housing 10 provides insulation and protection for the conductive component 14 and the drive module 12.

[0039] A plug-in hole 22 is provided on the housing 10. When the conductive component 14 and the power input line 23 of the drive module 12 are connected to the drive module 12, the power input line 23 extends through the plug-in hole 22 between the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20. The first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20 clamp and fix the power input line 23. At the same time, the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20 are made of conductive material. After being electrically connected to the power input line 23, they conduct external power to the drive module 12, providing power to the drive module 12. Optionally, the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20 include conductive copper sheets.

[0040] Thus, when installing a lamp equipped with driver 100, the installation operation can be completed simply by fixing and electrically connecting the power input line 23 to the conductive component 14 through the plug hole 22. The installation method is simple, convenient, and easy to use.

[0041] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a first housing 25 and a second housing 29, the first housing 25 being detachably connected to the second housing 29 to form an accommodating space 16, and a plug-in hole 22 being provided in the first housing 25 or the second housing 29.

[0042] This facilitates the installation and removal of the conductive component 14 and the drive module 12.

[0043] Specifically, the first shell 25 and the second shell 29 are detachably connected. One of the first shell 25 and the second shell 29 forms an accommodating space 16 with an opening to facilitate the installation of the conductive component 14 and the drive module 12. The other of the first shell 25 and the second shell 29 is used to close the opening of the accommodating space 16 to form a relatively closed accommodating space 16, thereby achieving insulation and protection for the conductive component 14 and the drive module 12.

[0044] The plug-in hole 22 is located in the first housing 25 or the second housing 29 and communicates with the accommodating space 16. The power input line 23 enters the accommodating space 16 through the plug-in hole 22, contacts the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20 and is clamped between the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the power input line 23, the conductive component 14 and the drive module 12.

[0045] Optionally, the connection between the first shell 25 and the second shell 29 can be achieved through threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, slot connection, etc., to facilitate installation, disassembly, and replacement.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first conductive element 18 is fixed to the first housing 25, and the second conductive element 20 is electrically connected to the drive module 12, with at least a portion of the second conductive element 20 abutting against the first conductive element 18.

[0047] In this way, the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20 can clamp the power input line 23.

[0048] Specifically, the first conductive element 18 is fixedly installed in the first shell 25, and at least a portion of the second conductive element 20 elastically abuts against the first conductive element 18. The second conductive element 20 is electrically connected to the drive module 12. The drive module 12 and the second conductive element 20 are installed in the second shell 29. During installation, the first conductive element 18 is fixed in the first shell 25, and the first shell 25 is placed over the second shell 29, so that at least a portion of the second conductive element 20 abuts against the first conductive element 18, thus completing the assembly.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first housing 25 includes a body 26, a pressing part 27, and a trigger 28. The pressing part 27 is movably connected to the body 26 and connected to the trigger 28. When the pressing part 27 moves toward the second conductive member 20, the trigger 28 separates the second conductive member 20 from the first conductive member 18, so that the power input line 23 extends between the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20.

[0050] Thus, the pressing part 27 can drive the trigger member 28 to move, causing the second conductive member 20 to separate from the first conductive member 18, so that the power input line 23 can extend between the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20.

[0051] Specifically, the main body 26 and the second shell 29 are interconnected to form an accommodating space 16. The pressing part 27 is movably connected to the main body 26, and a trigger 28 is connected to the side of the pressing part 27 facing the second conductive member 20. When installing the power output line 24, pressure is applied to the pressing part 27 to move the trigger 28 toward the second conductive member 20. The trigger 28 separates the second conductive member 20 from the first conductive member 18. At this time, the power input line 23 extends between the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20. Then, the pressure on the pressing part 27 is released, causing the second conductive member 20 to spring back, thereby clamping the power input line 23 between the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20, thus completing the electrical connection between the power input line 23 and the driver 100.

[0052] In the illustrated embodiment, the first housing 25 includes two pressing parts 27 and four interconnected plug-in holes 22. The trigger 28 on each pressing part 27 is located at the connection of two plug-in holes 22. In this way, when the power input line 23 extends into the plug-in hole 22, there will be no mutual interference between it and the trigger 28, so that the trigger 28 can press the second conductive member 20 and the power input line 23 extends between the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20.

[0053] Optionally, the first shell 25 is made of plastic, wherein the body 26, the pressing part 27, and the triggering part 28 can be manufactured by an integral molding process. In this way, due to the material properties of plastic, the pressing part 27 and the body 26 can undergo a certain degree of deformation under the action of external force, and the deformation can be restored after the external force is removed, without damaging the first shell 25.

[0054] In the illustrated implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the accommodating space 16 includes a first accommodating space 16a formed by the connection of the first housing 25 and the second housing 29, and a second accommodating space 16b communicating with the external space. The insertion / removal hole 22 connects the first accommodating space 16a and the second accommodating space 16b. When the first housing 25 and the second housing 29 are connected, the body 26 is connected to the second housing 29 to form the first accommodating space 16a, and the pressing part 27 and the trigger member 28 are accommodated in the second accommodating space 16b. Thus, in the case of... Figure 1 As shown in the vertical direction, after the driver 100 is installed, the second housing 29 faces upward, and the second accommodating space 16b can protect the pressing part 27 and prevent accidental contact with the pressing part 27.

[0055] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first conductive element 18 includes a clearance hole 30, and the trigger element 28 passes through the clearance hole 30 to contact the second conductive element 20.

[0056] In this way, there is no mutual interference between the first conductive element 18 and the trigger element 28.

[0057] Specifically, the first conductive element 18 includes a clearance hole 30, and the trigger element 28 passes through the clearance hole 30. When the pressing part 27 drives the trigger element 28 to press down, the trigger element 28 moves in the clearance hole 30 and contacts the second conductive element 20. Thus, the first conductive element 18 and the trigger element 28 do not interfere with each other, thereby realizing the separation of the second conductive element 20 from the first conductive element 18 by moving the trigger element 28 through the pressing part 27.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second conductive element 20 includes a first bent portion 32, a second bent portion 34, and a support portion 36. The support portion 36 is connected to the first bent portion 32 and the second bent portion 34 respectively. At least a portion of the first bent portion 32 elastically abuts against the first conductive element 18. The drive module 12 includes a conductive pin 38. The second bent portion 34 is electrically connected to the conductive pin 38.

[0059] Thus, the second conductive element 20 has a simple structure, saves space, and can achieve the function of conductive connection.

[0060] Specifically, the second conductive element 20 elastically abuts against the first conductive element 18 through at least a portion of the first bent portion 32, the support portion 36 connects the first bent portion 32 and the second bent portion 34, and the second bent portion 34 is electrically connected to the conductive pin 38. In this way, the power input line 23 is electrically connected to the drive module 12 through the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20.

[0061] The drive module 12 includes a printed circuit board 40 (PCB). One end of the conductive pin 38 is soldered and fixed on the printed circuit board 40, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second conductive element 20 through the second bend 34.

[0062] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second bending portion 34 includes a first part 42 and a second part 44. The first part 42 is connected to the second part 44, and there is a certain angle between the first part 42 and the second part 44. The first part 42 and the second part 44 have through holes. When the conductive needle 38 passes through the through holes on the first part 42 and the second part 44, the second part 44 undergoes elastic deformation and abuts against and is fixed to the conductive needle 38.

[0063] Please see Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the inner periphery of the first shell 25 is provided with one of a slot 46 and a buckle 48, and the outer periphery of the second shell 29 is provided with the other of a slot 46 and a buckle 48, with the buckle 48 being engaged in the slot 46.

[0064] In this way, the first shell 25 and the second shell 29 can be positioned and fixed during assembly, making the first shell 25 and the second shell 29 easy to install and easy to disassemble.

[0065] Specifically, the first housing 25 and the second housing 29 are fixedly connected by a slot 46 and a buckle 48. During installation, the slot 46 and the buckle 48 are aligned and pressed together to achieve fixation, eliminating the need for additional fasteners and tools. This reduces the cost of the driver 100 and simplifies the installation process. The slot 46 and the buckle 48 also enable positioning and fixing of the relative positions of the first housing 25 and the second housing 29, facilitating installation and improving assembly efficiency.

[0066] Meanwhile, the buckle 48 makes it easy to install and disassemble repeatedly. When disassembling, a certain force is applied from the outside to separate the first shell 25 and the second shell 29 from each other.

[0067] Furthermore, the slot 46 and the buckle 48 can achieve a firm connection and withstand a certain load and vibration, so that the accommodating space 16 formed after the first shell 25 and the second shell 29 are connected is relatively closed and not easily damaged, which can effectively protect the conductive components 14 and the drive module 12 therein.

[0068] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the driver 100 includes a connector 50 that electrically connects the power output line 24 and the driver module 12. The housing 10 has a connection hole through which the power output line 24 extends out of the housing 10. A wire pressing part is formed inside the housing 10 to press against the power output line 24.

[0069] In this way, the connection between the driver 100 and the power output line 24 is secure and reliable.

[0070] Specifically, the connector 50 is electrically connected to the power output terminal of the drive module 12. After the power output line 24 is electrically connected to the connector 50, the drive module 12 can control the voltage and current of the load on the power output line 24. The connector 50 is soldered and fixed on the printed circuit board 40.

[0071] The housing 10 has a connection hole through which the power output line 24 extends and connects to the load. Optionally, the first housing 25 has a first half-hole (not shown), and the second housing 29 has a second half-hole 52. When the first housing 25 and the second housing 29 are connected, the first half-hole and the second half-hole 52 form the connection hole. When the first housing 25 and the second housing 29 are separated, the first half-hole or the second half-hole 52 can guide and position the power output line 24, which can then extend out of the housing 10 through the first half-hole or the second half-hole 52.

[0072] The housing 10 has a wire clamping portion inside, which presses against the power output wire 24. Specifically, the first housing 25 has a first wire clamping portion on the side facing the accommodating space 16, and the second housing 29 has a second wire clamping portion on the side facing the accommodating space 16. The positions of the first wire clamping portion and the second wire clamping portion are corresponding. When the first housing 25 and the second housing 29 are connected, the first wire clamping portion and the second wire clamping portion press against the power output wire 24 in the direction from the first housing 25 to the second housing 29, thereby fixing the power output wire 24 so that the power output wire 24 can pass the wire tensile strength test requirements.

[0073] Optionally, the end of the first and / or second clamping portion that contacts the power output line 24 has a serrated structure. The serrated structure contacts the power output line 24 to further clamp the power output line 24 and prevent the power output line 24 from coming off outward.

[0074] Optionally, the terminal block 50 may include, but is not limited to, pluggable terminals, spring-loaded terminals, quick-connect terminals, etc.

[0075] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with a pull ring 54, which is located on the side of the housing 10 near the power output line 24, and the pull ring 54 has a hollow portion.

[0076] This facilitates the separation of the first housing 25 from the second housing 29, thereby making it easier to install, disassemble, and replace the drive components.

[0077] Specifically, conductive components 14 and terminals are respectively provided at both ends along the length of the housing 10. The conductive components 14 are used for electrical connection with the power input line 23, and the terminals are used for electrical connection with the power output line 24. In the illustrated embodiment, a pull ring 54 is provided on the side of the first housing 25 near the power output line 24, and the pull ring 54 has a hollow portion.

[0078] The first shell 25 and the second shell 29 are fixedly connected by the slot 46 and the buckle 48. When it is necessary to separate the first shell 25 and the second shell 29, the pull ring 54 can provide the operator with a fulcrum for applying force, so as to apply a pulling force to the first shell 25 to separate the first shell 25 and the second shell 29.

[0079] In summary, when installing the power input cable 23, by applying force to the pressing part 27 on the housing 10 of the driver 100, the second conductive element 20 in the driver 100 is deformed, thereby separating the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20. At this time, the power input cable 23 is inserted into the housing 10 through the plug hole 22, so that the power input cable 23 is positioned between the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20. Then, the force on the pressing part 27 is released, causing the second conductive element 20 to spring back, and the first conductive element 18 and the second conductive element 20 together clamp the power input cable 23 to form a conductive connection.

[0080] One end of the conductive pin 38 is soldered to the printed circuit board 40, and the other end is electrically connected to the second conductive component 20. The wiring terminal is fixed to the printed circuit board 40 by soldering, and the power output line 24 is connected through the wiring terminal. A wire pressing part is formed inside the housing 10 to press and fix the power output line 24 to meet the requirements of the wire tensile strength test.

[0081] In addition, the housing 10 of the driver 100 is provided with a pull ring 54 to facilitate the separation of the first housing 25 and the second housing 29, thereby facilitating the replacement of the driver module 12.

[0082] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 The lighting device 300 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a light source assembly 200 and a driver 100 of any of the above embodiments.

[0083] In the aforementioned lighting device 300, the housing 10 has a plug-in hole 22, and the power input line 23 extends between the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20, so that the first conductive member 18 and the second conductive member 20 clamp the power input line 23, so that the drive module 12 can achieve electrical connection with the power supply. The connection method is simple and reliable, and the installation is convenient.

[0084] Specifically, the light source assembly 200 includes LED lights, ceiling lights, magnetic track lights, light strips, decorative lights, or other lighting fixtures that need to be driven by the driver 100.

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, when the driver 100 is installed on the light source assembly 200, the bottom of the second housing 29 faces upward, and the pressing part 27 is located between the second housing 29 and the light source assembly 200, which can effectively protect the pressing part 27 and prevent accidental contact.

[0086] The light source assembly 200 is electrically connected to the driver 100 via the power output line 24. When the user uses the lighting device 300, the power input line 23 can be directly connected to the driver 100 via the plug-in hole 22 to complete the installation. The connection method is simple and the installation is convenient.

[0087] When it is necessary to replace the driver 100, press the pressing part 27 on the driver 100 housing 10 and take out the power input cable 23 to complete the disassembly.

[0088] When it is necessary to replace the light source assembly 200, the first housing 25 and the second housing 29 can be separated by the pull ring 54 on the housing 10, the power output line 24 can be separated from the terminal block on the drive module 12 and connected to the power output line 24 of the new light source assembly 200, thus completing the replacement of the light source assembly 200.

[0089] In summary, the lighting device 300 allows for quick installation and replacement of the driver 100 and the light source assembly 200, and the connection is simple and convenient.
