[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a soft-touch PE Christmas tree with lights includes a base 1;
[0043] Tree trunk 11, wherein the tree trunk 11 is disposed on the base 1;
[0044] Decorative leaves 12 are provided on the trunk 11;
[0045] and decorative light set 2, which is inserted into the tree trunk 11;
[0046] The tree trunk 11 is provided with a plug-in assembly 22, and the decorative light group 2 includes a socket 21 that cooperates with the plug-in assembly 22 and a lamp bead 211 disposed in the socket 21. The plug-in assembly 22 supplies power to the lamp bead 211 through the socket 21.
[0047] The plug-in assembly 22 includes a cylindrical body 221 disposed on the tree trunk 11, a conductive pin 222 disposed inside the cylindrical body 221, and a conductive hole 212 disposed in the socket 21 that cooperates with the conductive pin 222. The conductive hole 212 is electrically connected to the lamp bead 211.
[0048] A locking assembly is provided on the outside of the cylindrical body 221 to lock the socket 21 to the cylindrical body 221.
[0049] In some embodiments, the conductive pin 222 can be connected to mains power via a cable. A control switch should be connected in series with the cable.
[0050] In some embodiments, the conductive pin 222 can be connected to a battery via a cable. A control switch should be connected in series with the cable.
[0051] In some embodiments, the locking assembly includes a locking pin 213 disposed on the socket 21, and the cylindrical body 221 is provided with a sliding groove 2211 that cooperates with the locking pin 213. The locking assembly also includes a locking cylinder 23 rotatably connected to the outside of the cylindrical body 221. The locking cylinder 23 is provided with a groove 231 that communicates with the sliding groove 2211 and allows the locking pin 213 to pass through. The groove 231 includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. A locking block 232 is disposed on the first sidewall. A connecting groove for the locking pin 213 to pass through is formed between the locking block 232 and the second sidewall. The connecting groove is offset from the groove 231.
[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking pin 213 is arranged along the diameter direction of the socket 21, and the locking pin 213 passes through the slide groove 2211 and the groove 231 in sequence, that is, a part of the locking pin 213 is located in the slide groove 2211, and the other part of the locking pin 213 is located in the groove 231.
[0053] In some embodiments, the locking post 213 may have a circular cross-sectional shape.
[0054] In some embodiments, when assembling the socket 21, the locking cylinder 23 is rotated to align the connecting groove with the slide groove 2211. Then, the socket 21 is inserted into the plugging assembly 22. After the socket 21 is in place, the locking cylinder 23 is rotated in the opposite direction to displace the connecting groove from the slide groove 2211. At this time, the locking block 232 is located above the locking pin 213, and the locking block 232 locks the locking pin 213 to prevent the locking pin 213 from displacing along the slide groove 2211.
[0055] When it is necessary to remove the socket 21, rotate the locking cylinder 23 to align the connecting groove with the slide groove 2211, and then the socket 21 can be removed.
[0056] In some embodiments, an elastic element 223 is provided between the locking cylinder 23 and the cylinder body 221 to push the locking cylinder 23 to offset the connecting groove from the groove body 231. The locking block 232 includes a top wall and a bottom wall, both of which are inclined to the connecting groove. The cross-sectional shape of the locking block 232 is trapezoidal.
[0057] By setting the elastic element 223, the locking cylinder 23 rotates automatically, making the decorative light assembly 2 easy to operate. Both the top and bottom walls are inclined. When operating the socket 21, the locking pin 213 applies a force to the locking cylinder 23 through the top or bottom wall. One component of the force overcomes the force of the elastic element 223, causing the locking cylinder 23 to rotate, thereby making the plug assembly 22 easier to operate.
[0058] In some embodiments, the elastic element 223 is a torsion spring, or the elastic element 223 is a spring sheet.
[0059] In some embodiments, one end of the elastic member 223 is fixed to the cylinder 221, the other end of the elastic member 223 is fixed to the locking cylinder 23, and the cylinder 221 defines the axial position of the locking cylinder 23 relative to the cylinder 221 by the elastic member 223.
[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the cylinder 221 may also utilize an annular ridge to define the axial position of the locking cylinder 23 relative to the cylinder 221. For example, an annular ridge may be provided inside the locking cylinder 23, and an annular groove may be provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 221, with the annular groove engaging with the annular ridge. The locking cylinder 23 may be installed on the cylinder 221 using a heat-fitting method.
[0061] In some embodiments, the cylinder body is further provided with a slider 24 having insulating capabilities. The slider 24 is provided with a through hole 241. The conductive needle 222 extends out of the slider 24 through the through hole 241. A connector 25 is provided between the socket 21 and the slider 24. The connector 25 automatically connects to or disconnects from the slider 24 by means of elastic deformation.
[0062] The slider 24 is designed to enclose the conductive pin 222. When the socket 21 is removed, the conductive pin 222 is exposed inside the cylinder 221, posing a certain safety hazard. By using the slider 24 and connector 25, the slider 24 moves upward after the socket 21 is removed, allowing the conductive pin 222 to enter the through hole. Even if the socket 21 is removed, the conductive pin 222 will not be exposed inside the cylinder 221, thus improving the safety performance of the Christmas tree.
[0063] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 25 includes a connecting post 251 disposed on the socket 21, and the connector 25 also includes a connecting ball 252 disposed at the end of the connecting post 251 away from the socket 21. The slider 24 is provided with a spherical groove 242 that mates with the connecting ball 252, and the depth of the spherical groove 242 is greater than the radius of the spherical groove 242.
[0064] In some embodiments, either the connector 25 or the slider 24 may have elastic deformation capability. For example, when the connector 25 is made of a rigid material, the slider 24 may have elastic deformation capability to facilitate the engagement or disengagement of the connector 25 with the spherical groove 242.
[0065] In some embodiments, the slider 24 is provided with a slip ring 243, and the cylinder 221 is provided with a limiting ring groove 2212 that cooperates with the slip ring 243 and prevents the slip ring 243 from disengaging from the cylinder 221.
[0066] The slider 24 and the slip ring 243 can be an integral structure. The slider 24 can be installed inside the cylinder 221 by heat assembly.
[0067] In some embodiments, the LED bead 211 is fixed to the socket 21 by a connecting rod 2111, and each socket 21 is provided with at least two LED beads 211.
[0068] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 2111 is a hollow structure, and a wire is provided inside the connecting rod 2111. The lamp bead 211 is electrically connected to the conductive hole 212 through the wire. Furthermore, all the lamp beads 211 located in the same socket 21 are electrically connected to the conductive hole 212 in parallel through the wire.
[0069] In some embodiments, the lamp bead 211 can be an LED lamp.
[0070] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.
[0071] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.
