Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LED light strip technology, and specifically to a flexible bending and retaining device for LED light strips. Background Technology

[0002] In today's lighting industry, LED light strips have been widely used due to their advantages such as uniform light emission, energy saving, and convenient installation. From interior decoration to commercial advertising signs, from building outlines to automotive interior lighting, LED light strips are everywhere.

[0003] The flexible bending of LED light strips is generally achieved by connecting a flexible, malleable tube to the LED light strip. However, the installation position of LED light strips varies depending on the needs, and LED light strips located at lower positions may be unintentionally touched by pedestrians, causing deformation and affecting the bending of the LED light strip, thus affecting the overall effect of the LED light strip. At the same time, the service life of LED light strips after installation also varies. Over a longer period of use, LED light strips may be affected by external factors, and the bent parts may straighten out, thus affecting the overall effect of the LED light strip after installation.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a flexible bending and retaining device for LED light strips. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a flexible bending and retaining device for LED light strips.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A flexible bending and holding device for LED light strips includes a base plate, on which a holding structure is provided; the holding structure includes a gear slidably connected to the base plate, and teeth fixedly connected to the base plate through a sliding groove, the teeth meshing with the gear, a fixed sleeve provided at one end of the gear, a round rod movably connected inside the fixed sleeve, a ball provided at one end of the round rod outside the fixed sleeve, a flexible rod slidably connected to the outer wall of the ball, a flexible light strip provided on the outer wall of the flexible rod, a first retaining ring rotatably connected to the round rod, a groove provided at the bottom of the first retaining ring, a second retaining ring fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round rod, a protrusion fixedly connected to the second retaining ring, the protrusion engaging with the groove of the first retaining ring, and a fixing structure provided on the side of the base plate away from the gear.

[0007] The fixing structure includes a manual suction cup disposed on the side of the base plate away from the gear, a connecting plate slidably connected to the bottom of the base plate, a movable plate fixedly connected to the connecting plate, a push plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, and one side of the push plate abutting against the control rod on the manual suction cup. The device is fixed by setting up the manual suction cup, the movable plate, the connecting plate, and the push plate.

[0008] The top of the first retaining ring is fixedly connected to a handle, which allows for quick flipping and fixing of the groove.

[0009] A locking block is fixedly connected to the side of the base plate near the moving plate. The locking block and the moving plate are interlocked. By setting the locking block, the moving plate is fixed. The locking block prevents the control rod on the manual suction cup from flipping over, which would affect the suction effect of the manual suction cup.

[0010] A slot is provided at one end of the base plate, and a rod is fixedly connected to the end of the base plate away from the slot. By setting the slot and the rod, the length of the base plate can be expanded, so as to avoid the base plate being too short and affecting the bending and holding effect of the flexible light strip.

[0011] A spring is fixedly connected inside the round rod, and an extension rod is fixedly connected to one end of the spring. One end of the extension rod is rotatably connected to the ball. By setting the spring and the extension rod, the flexible light strip and the flexible rod are protected, so as to avoid affecting the use of the flexible light strip.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] When it is necessary to maintain the curvature of the LED light strip, the ball can be connected to the flexible rod and moved to the desired position. At this time, the user presses the first retaining ring with the handle, so that the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring are fixed by the protrusion and groove, thereby fixing the round rod. The fixing of the round rod will support the flexible light strip and the flexible rod at the bending position, thus preventing the flexible light strip and the flexible rod from returning to their original shape after long-term use, which would affect the use of the flexible light strip.

[0014] The device is fixed by setting up a manual suction cup, a moving plate, a connecting plate, and a push plate. The manual suction cup is pressed onto a relatively smooth surface, and the moving plate pushes the connecting plate, which in turn pushes the push plate to press the control lever of the manual suction cup, thereby achieving the adsorption and fixation of the manual suction cup. The device is thus fixed by fixing the manual suction cup. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Reference Figure 1-3 A flexible bending retaining device for LED light strips includes a base plate 1, on which a retaining structure 2 is provided. The retaining structure 2 is used to retain the bent LED light strip to prevent it from being touched or deformed over a long period of time. The retaining structure 2 includes a gear 202 slidably connected to the base plate 1, and a tooth 201 fixedly connected to the base plate 1 through a sliding groove. The tooth 201 meshes with the gear 202. A fixing sleeve 203 is provided at one end of the gear 202. The meshing of the tooth 201 and the gear 202 can fix the fixing sleeve 203. A round rod 204 is movably connected inside the fixing sleeve 203. The round rod 204 can slide freely inside the fixing sleeve 203. A ball 205 is provided at one end of the round rod 204 outside the fixing sleeve 203. A flexible... The rod 3 is a flexible rod that can be shaped. The outer wall of the flexible rod 3 is provided with a flexible light strip 7. The flexible rod 3 and the retaining structure 2 can be connected together by a ball 205. The flexible rod 3 is used to shape the flexible light strip 7. A first retaining ring 206 is rotatably connected to the round rod 204. The bottom of the first retaining ring 206 has a groove 209. A second retaining ring 207 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round rod 204. A protrusion 208 is fixedly connected to the second retaining ring 207. The protrusion 208 engages with the groove 209 of the first retaining ring 206. The cooperation of the protrusion 208 and the groove 209 can fix the first retaining ring 206 and the groove 209. The round rod 204 is fixed by fixing the protrusion 208 and the groove 209. A fixing structure 4 is provided on the side of the base plate 1 away from the gear 202.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The fixing structure 4 includes a manual suction cup 401 disposed on the side of the base plate 1 away from the gear 202. When the manual suction cup 401 contacts a relatively smooth surface, the internal air can be expelled by the control rod to form a partial vacuum. Due to the vacuum inside the suction cup, the external atmospheric pressure presses the suction cup tightly onto the object to be fixed, thereby generating an adsorption force. A torsion spring is disposed at the connection between the control rod of the manual suction cup 401 and the base plate 1, which allows the control rod of the manual suction cup 401 to return to its original position when not in use. A connecting plate 403 is slidably connected to the bottom of the base plate 1, and a movable plate 402 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 403. The movable plate 402 is used to push the connecting plate 403. A push plate 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 403. The movement of the connecting plate 403 will drive the push plate 404 to move, thereby squeezing the control rod of the manual suction cup 401 through the push plate 404, thereby expelling the air inside the manual suction cup 401. One side of the push plate 404 is in contact with the control rod on the manual suction cup 401.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 The top of the first retaining ring 206 is fixedly connected to a handle 210. The handle 210 is used to quickly flip and fix the groove 209, so that the user can adjust the round rod 204 more quickly, thereby achieving the retention of the LED light strip after bending.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 A locking block 405 is fixedly connected to the side of the base plate 1 near the moving plate 402. The locking block 405 and the moving plate 402 are locked together. The locking block 405 is used to fix the moving plate 402. By locking the moving plate 402 with the locking block 405, the connecting plate 403 and the push plate 404 are fixed, thereby preventing the control rod on the manual suction cup 401 from flipping over and affecting the suction effect of the manual suction cup 401.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A slot 5 is provided at one end of the base plate 1, and a rod 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the base plate 1 away from the slot 5. The use of the slot 5 and the rod 6 can expand the length of the base plate 1. Users can assemble multiple base plates 1 together by using the slot 5 and the rod 6, thereby avoiding the base plate 1 being insufficient and affecting the bending and holding effect of the flexible light strip 7.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 A spring 8 is fixedly connected inside the round rod 204. An extension rod 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 8. One end of the extension rod 9 is rotatably connected to the ball 205. The combined use of the spring 8 and the extension rod 9 can protect the flexible light strip 7 and the flexible rod 3, preventing serious damage to the flexible light strip 7 when the user accidentally touches it, thus avoiding affecting the use of the flexible light strip 7.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] This LED strip flexible bending and holding device is used to bend the flexible strip 7 into the required shape via the flexible rod 3, then connect the ball 205 to the flexible rod 3 and move the ball 205 to the bending position of the flexible rod 3 and the flexible strip 7. After the ball 205 moves to a certain position, the user flips the first retaining ring 206 by using the handle 210. After the first retaining ring 206 flips, the operator rotates the fixing sleeve 203, causing the gear 202 to rotate and move. The movement of the fixing sleeve 203 drives the rod 204 and the ball 205 to move, thus moving the ball 205 to the required position. After the ball 205 has moved, the user presses the first retaining ring 206 by using the handle 210, causing the first retaining ring 205 to move to the desired position. The first retaining ring 206 and the second retaining ring 207 are fixed by the protrusion 208 and the groove 209, thereby fixing the round rod 204. The fixing of the round rod 204 will support the bending position of the flexible light strip 7 and the flexible rod 3, thereby preventing the flexible light strip 7 and the flexible rod 3 from returning to their original shape after long-term use, which would affect the use of the flexible light strip 7. After the bending is supported, the user presses the manual suction cup 401 to a relatively smooth place, and pushes the connecting plate 403 through the moving plate 402, so that the connecting plate 403 pushes the push plate 404 to press the control rod of the manual suction cup 401, thereby achieving the adsorption and fixation of the manual suction cup 401, and thus fixing the device through the fixation of the manual suction cup 401.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0037] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
