Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, specifically to a general-purpose combined drive structure housing. Background Technology

[0002] A light driver is an electronic device used to control the voltage and current of lighting equipment such as light bulbs or LED lights. It converts the power source (usually alternating current) into appropriate direct current and supplies it to the light at a controllable rate, allowing the user to adjust the brightness and color of the light as needed.

[0003] European power supplies typically use a voltage range of 220-240V and an AC frequency of 50Hz. American power supplies, on the other hand, use 120V and a frequency of 60Hz. These different electrical parameters mean that when using power supplies of different specifications, attention must be paid to the voltage and frequency compatibility of the equipment to avoid damage or safety accidents. Currently, lighting drivers on the market only adapt to either American or European electrical requirements, often requiring changes to the appearance for differentiation. This results in high production costs for small and medium-sized enterprises and needs improvement.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-10 This utility model provides a technical solution: a general-purpose combined drive structure housing, including a main housing 1 for mounting a circuit board, the main housing 1 is hollow inside and the wiring portions 2 are exposed at both ends, and the wiring portions 2 are provided with a pin groove structure; the wiring portions 2 can be detachably inserted with end cap 1 8 and end cap 2 13 through the pin groove structure to form different shaped housings, respectively corresponding to European and American standards.

[0032] The bottom edge of the wiring part 2 has a notch 201. A slot 3 is integrally provided on one side of the housing. The bottom edge of the end cover 1 8 matches the notch 201 to form a wiring hole 202. The bottom edge of the end cover 2 13 is hooked and inserted into the notch 201 and the slot 3 by a bent hook-shaped card 19. An openable baffle plate 15 is provided on the side wall of the end cover 2 13. A portion of the baffle plate 15 is integrally connected to the end cover 2 13. The baffle plate 15 can be removed by force to expose the slot for wiring on the end cover 2 13.

[0033] To facilitate the replacement of the end caps at the wiring positions on both sides of the main housing 1 through structural modifications, thus enabling products compatible with both European and American standards:

[0034] In this embodiment, the pin groove structure includes a slot 5, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the wiring part 2. A locking tooth 6 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 5. Each tooth is triangular and the upper end face is inclined downward.

[0035] Furthermore, both end cap 18 and end cap 213 have an integrally connected protruding insert plate 19 along their edges. The outer wall of insert plate 19 is fitted with locking tooth 20 in conjunction with locking tooth 16. Insert plate 19 is inserted into slot 15 from top to bottom. Locking tooth 210 engages with the downward-sloping surface of locking tooth 16 to lock, facilitating installation and locking.

[0036] In this embodiment, the pin groove structure includes a pin plate 4 integrally connected to the upper edge of the main shell 1, which is bent upwards and has a side-standing L-shaped structure.

[0037] Furthermore, the upper edges of end cap 18 and end cap 23 are integrally connected with insert plate 211, which is a rectangular strip structure with the plate body protruding vertically downwards. It is inserted into the bending groove of pin plate 4. By using the hook of the bent plate body of pin plate 4, end cap 18 or end cap 23 can be locked in the left and right horizontal directions, improving the stability after installation.

[0038] That is, the main shell 1 serves as the base, and after the circuit structure is installed inside the shell, the wiring part 2 is exposed on the main shell 1. The end cap 1 8 and end cap 2 13 have different lengths, but in use, they can be quickly snapped onto the wiring parts 2 at both ends of the main shell 1 to form shells of different sizes, which can be used as different products. They can be used for European and American standard products, reducing the production cost of new shells.

[0039] To improve the stability of the two end cap mounting structure:

[0040] In this embodiment, the pin groove structure includes a support plate 7, which is a rectangular strip structure. Two support plates are symmetrically arranged and are integrally connected to the inner walls of the bottom sides of the wiring part 2. The top of each support plate 7 extends outward.

[0041] Furthermore, slots 12 are provided on the bottom edges of end cap 18 and end cap 23 corresponding to each support plate 7, and slots 12 are inserted into and engaged with support plates 7.

[0042] That is, after the cover at the wiring section 2 is installed, the protruding support plate 7 is used to abut against the edge of the end cover 8 or the end cover 13 to increase the support strength.

[0043] Note:

[0044] In this embodiment, the top opening of the end cap 23 forms a cap opening 20, and a side plate 21 is left on the edge of the cap opening 20. Two slots 3 14 are opened on the bottom surface of the side plate 21, and a rectangular lock opening 22 is opened on the outer wall of the opposite side of the side plate 21.

[0045] Furthermore, a cover 16 is installed on the cover 20. One side of the cover 16 is integrally connected to two L-shaped bent insert plates 17, and the other side is integrally connected to a hook 18. The insert plates 17 are inserted into the slot 14, and the hook 18 is inserted into and engaged with the lock 22.

[0046] That is, an openable latch 16 is provided on end cover 2 13, and the installation structure of latch 16 is a common existing method. Here, latch 16 can flexibly open and close end cover 2 13, and the wiring part 2 can be exposed without fully opening end cover 2 13, which facilitates quick wiring.

[0047] In terms of overall structure, the main shell 1 serves as the carrier for circuit components, with end caps that can be flexibly installed at both ends to form shells of different sizes and appearances. This makes it suitable for European or American standard products, reducing the production cost of new shells. Furthermore, the shell assembly is convenient, the end wiring positions are easy to open for wiring, the structural connection is stable, and the design is ingenious and easy to use.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
