Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lighting appliances, more particularly to an outdoor chain-shaped lamp. BACKGROUND

[0002] In some outdoor environments, such as the banks of rivers, lakes, or boardwalks in the mountains, outdoor chain-shaped lamps are usually arranged between posts and railings, which can generate light sources by themselves and attract the attention of nearby personnel in poor light conditions, thereby playing a decorative and protective role. In some cases, tourists or passers-by may pull and grasp the chain-shaped lamps, so the outdoor chain-shaped lamps themselves need to have a certain strength.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent document with the authorized publication number CN2388481Y discloses a chain-shaped lamp decoration, which is composed of several chain links connected together. Each chain link is a detachable hollow chain link, and a bulb and a power supply wire are installed in the hollow chain link.

[0004] For the chain-shaped lamp used for decoration, it is feasible to electrically connect and complete power supply between each chain link through the wire. However, for the chain-shaped lamp used for protection, adjacent chain links will inevitably move relative to each other during use, which may pull the wire and cause damage to the chain-shaped lamp, thereby increasing the maintenance cost.

[0005] For example, a Chinese patent document with the authorized publication number CN215722667U discloses a chain link with a metal contact and a chain-shaped lamp, which realizes power supply through the contact of the metal contact, thereby preventing excessive pulling of the wire and causing damage, and reducing the maintenance cost of the chain-shaped lamp. However, the lamp body structure is relatively complex, the material cost and manufacturing cost are relatively high, and the price of the finished product cannot meet the market demand.

[0006] Therefore, how to design an outdoor chain-shaped lamp with high strength and simple structure is a problem to be solved in the prior art. Content of the utility model

[0007] In order to solve the problems that may exist in the related art, some embodiments of the present application provide an outdoor chain-shaped lamp, characterized in that it comprises: at least two ring elements, the ring element comprising a chain ring body and a spherical connecting part, the chain ring body being internally provided with a light source, the connecting part being connected to both ends of the chain ring body along the length direction, an electric wire being threaded between adjacent ring elements and passing through the connecting part; a protective buckle in the shape of a sphere and composed of two mutually buckled components, located between two adjacent chain ring bodies; two accommodating cavities being formed in the protective buckle, the accommodating cavities being in the shape of a sphere or a part of a sphere and being adapted to the connecting part, two connecting parts being respectively clamped into the two accommodating cavities; the protective buckle being capable of rotating relative to the connecting part; and the electric wire between adjacent ring elements being completely accommodated by the protective buckle.

[0008] Further, the two accommodating cavities are formed in the protective buckle, and the connecting part is located in the accommodating cavities; the accommodating cavities are in the shape of a sphere or a part of a sphere and are adapted to the connecting part.

[0009] Further, the connecting part is circumferentially provided with a mounting groove, and a sealing ring is arranged in the mounting groove and fully matches the side wall of the accommodating cavity.

[0010] Further, the two accommodating cavities are respectively located on both sides of the inner wall of the protective buckle, and an expansion cavity is further formed between the two accommodating cavities, and the electric wire passes through the expansion cavity.

[0011] Further, the protective buckle comprises a hemispherical upper cover and a lower cover, and the upper cover and the lower cover are detachably connected.

[0012] Further, the upper cover and the lower cover jointly form a threaded groove through which a bolt passes, and the upper cover and the lower cover are threadedly connected.

[0013] Further, the connecting part is provided with a through hole through which the electric wire passes out of the ring element; and the electric wire is fixed to the through hole, or the electric wire is fixed to one side of the connecting part close to the chain ring body.

[0014] The technical scheme provided by the present application has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0015] The outdoor chain-shaped lamp provided by the application can share the pulling force that the electric wire may suffer when being gripped and pulled by a person, the electric wire between adjacent ring members can be effectively protected by the protective buckle, and the ring member can approximately rotate relative to its adjacent ring member under the cooperation of the spherical connecting part and the protective buckle. The connecting part can bear pressure of different surfaces, has higher flexibility, suffers smaller mechanical damage between components, and when the protective buckle is twisted, the protective buckle can directly rotate relative to the outer surface of the connecting part to offset part of the force, further avoiding the problem that the outdoor chain-shaped lamp is torn apart.

[0016] The design of the connecting part and the protective buckle can further close the internal structure of the chain ring body, and protect the internal components of the ring member from being damaged by dust and liquid. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0026] In the following, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so as to describe the embodiments of the present application.

These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. In addition, in addition to indicating the orientation or positional relationship, the above-mentioned terms can also be used to indicate other meanings, for example, the term "upper" can also be used to indicate a certain dependent relationship or connection relationship in some cases. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of these terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] The present embodiment provides an outdoor chain-shaped lamp, which comprises a ring member 100 and a protective buckle 200.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 The ring member 100 is at least two, and comprises a chain ring body 110 and a spherical connecting portion 120. The chain ring body 110 is internally provided with a light source mounting portion, and the internal structure thereof can adopt the existing technology in the art and is not specifically limited.

[0031] Optionally, the chain ring body 110 has two parallel straight edges and two arc-shaped edges connecting the two straight edges, so that the chain ring body 110 has a waist shape. The chain ring body 110 can also have other shapes such as square and circular.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the connecting part 120 is connected to the two ends of the chain body 110 along the length direction, and the electric wire 300 is threaded between the adjacent ring members 100, and the electric wire 300 passes through the connecting part 120. Specifically, the electric wire 300 is threaded into the connecting part 120 at one end of the ring member 100, enters the chain body 110, supplies power to the light source in the chain body 110, and is threaded out of the connecting part 120 at the other end of the ring member 100, so that the adjacent ring members 100 are electrically connected through the electric wire 300.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 , the protective buckle 200 is spherical and is composed of two mutually buckled components and is located between two adjacent chain bodies 110. Two accommodation cavities 210 are formed in the protective buckle 200, and the shape of the accommodation cavities 210 is spherical or part of a sphere, which is adapted to the connecting part 120, and the two connecting parts 120 are respectively clamped into the two accommodation cavities 210. This design can increase the structural strength of the protective buckle 200 and has a strong guiding and limiting effect on the movement space of the ring member 100. The protective buckle 200 can rotate relative to the connecting part 120, and the electric wire 300 between the adjacent ring members 100 is completely accommodated in the protective buckle 200.

[0034] In this way, when the outdoor chain-shaped lamp of the embodiment is gripped and pulled by a person, the electric wire 300 between the ring members 100 is in a position that cannot be directly contacted by the person, the shell of the ring member 100 and the protective buckle 200 completely cover the electric wire 300, and can share the pulling force that the electric wire 300 may be subjected to. The electric wire 300 between the adjacent ring members 100 can be effectively protected by the protective buckle 200, and under the cooperation of the spherical connecting part 120 and the protective buckle 200, the ring member 100 can be approximately universally rotated relative to its adjacent ring member 100, the connecting part 120 can bear different plane pressures, has higher flexibility, and the mechanical damage between the components is smaller. When the protective buckle 200 is twisted, the protective buckle 200 can directly rotate relative to the outer surface of the connecting part 120 to offset part of the force, further avoiding the problem that the outdoor chain-shaped lamp is torn.

[0035] At the same time, the above-mentioned connecting part 120 and protective buckle 200 can further seal the internal structure of the chain body 110, and protect the internal components of the ring member 100 from being damaged by dust and water.

[0036] It is worth emphasizing that the "spherical" and "spherical" in the present application can be approximately spherical, and the surface can be deformed to meet the assembly or aesthetic needs.

[0037] Further, as shown in Figure 3As shown, two accommodating cavities 210 are respectively located on two sides of the inner wall of the protective buckle 200, and an expansion cavity 220 is further formed between the two accommodating cavities 210. The electric wire 300 passes through the expansion cavity 220. Compared with the design without the expansion cavity 220 (i.e., the two connecting parts 120 directly abut against each other in the protective buckle 200), the electric wire 300 can reserve some length in the expansion cavity 220, thereby having more adjustable space.

[0038] In outdoor environments, such as Figure 4 As shown, there is often rain or snow and other bad weather, and water droplets can easily enter the protective buckle 200, causing the electric wire 300 in the protective cavity to be immersed in water, thereby reducing the service life of the electric wire 300. To solve the above problem, the connecting part 120 is circumferentially formed with a mounting groove 121, and a sealing ring 122 is arranged in the mounting groove 121. The sealing ring 122 is in full contact with the side wall of the accommodating cavity 210 to prevent water from entering the protective buckle 200 and to prevent the electric wire 300 from being damaged and cracked due to water immersion.

[0039] For example, when the internal device of one of the looped members 100 of the outdoor chain-shaped lamp is damaged, the electric wire 300 between the damaged looped member 100 and the adjacent undamaged looped member 100 can be disconnected, the connection relationship is released, and a new looped member 100 is reconnected. The electric wire 300 of the new looped member 100 can be connected with the electric wire 300 of the original undamaged looped member 100 in the expansion cavity 220.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 The protective buckle 200 includes a hemispherical upper cover 230 and a lower cover 240. The sizes of the upper cover 230 and the lower cover 240 can be substantially equal or can have a certain difference. The upper cover 230 and the lower cover 240 are buckled to each other as components constituting the protective buckle 200. The specific connection mode after buckling can refer to known means in the prior art, such as welding, clamping, etc.

[0041] Preferably, the upper cover 230 and the lower cover 240 are detachably connected, so that the user can reopen or re-close the upper cover 230 and the lower cover 240 after buckling, and facilitate the user to disassemble or replace the looped member 100.

[0042] As one of the optional solutions, as shown in Figure 2 The upper cover 230 and the lower cover 240 jointly form a threaded groove 250 for the bolt to pass through, and the upper cover 230 and the lower cover 240 are threadedly connected.

[0043] As one of the optional solutions, the chain ring body 110 and the connecting part 120 in the looped member 100 are integrally formed, and the structural strength is higher. In detail, it can be that a part of the chain ring body 110 and the connecting part 120 are integrally formed.

[0044] AsFigure 4 As shown, the connecting part 120 is formed with a through hole 123 for the power line 300 to pass through the looped part 100.

[0045] Due to the looped part 100 in the embodiment, each has a large degree of rotational freedom. In order to prevent the torque generated by excessive rotation of the looped part 100 from causing the components to be pulled by the power line 300 and damaged, the following solutions are provided: Solution one: the power line 300 is fixed to the through hole 123; Solution two: the power line 300 is fixed to the connecting part 120 near the chain body 110, or directly fixed to the chain body 110 near the connecting part 120. The above solutions concentrate the torque borne by the power line 300 to the outside of the chain body 110, so that the outdoor chain-shaped lamp is more in line with its use scenario, and further increases the structural strength.

[0046] Optionally, in the absence of external force, the waist-shaped cross section of the chain body 110 has a 90° angle with the waist-shaped cross section of the adjacent chain body 110, and can also have other angles, such as 30° or 45°, etc.

[0047] Thus, the structure of the outdoor chain-shaped lamp in the application is simplified, has high strength, and can adapt to outdoor environments and meet protection requirements.

[0048] In the application, the terms "mount", "set", "provided with", "connected", "linked", "sleeved" should be understood broadly. For example, it can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally configured; it can be mechanically connected or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two devices, elements or components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the application and is not intended to limit the application. For those skilled in the art, the application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
