Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of decorative parts, and more particularly to a step strip. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, corner strips are usually installed at the corners of the steps for boarding and alighting on public transport buses. In order to achieve a better reminder effect and optimize the decoration, some strips are also equipped with light strips. When the light strips are lit, they can better indicate the height of the steps for passengers boarding and alighting, reducing the risk of passengers missing their footing or kicking the steps.

[0003] However, the existing step strips on buses still have some defects: the light strips on the step strips are generally fixed by pasting them onto the surface of the strips. After long-term use, the light strips are prone to bulging and falling off due to the aging of the adhesive. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a step strip that can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A step strip is provided, comprising:

[0007] The main body of the molding strip has a light source mounting groove along its own length.

[0008] A light source is provided along the length of the pressure strip body and installed in the light source mounting groove; the light source includes a connected lamp source and an optical fiber strip, and the light emitted by the lamp source can illuminate the optical fiber strip.

[0009] Optionally, one or both ends of the optical fiber strip are connected to the light source.

[0011] Optionally, the fiber optic sheath is waterproofly connected to the lamp housing.

[0012] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the fiber optic sheath and the lamp housing corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the light source mounting groove.

[0013] Optionally, the pressure strip body includes an upper pressure plate, a mounting groove, and a lower pressure plate. The light source mounting groove is formed in the mounting groove. The upper pressure plate is connected to the upper edge of the mounting groove, and the lower pressure plate is connected to the lower edge of the mounting groove.

[0014] Optionally, the mounting slot includes a top sidewall, an inner sidewall, and a bottom sidewall. The inner edges of the top sidewall and the bottom sidewall are respectively connected to the inner sidewall. The outer edge of the top sidewall is connected to the upper pressure plate, and the outer edge of the bottom sidewall is connected to the lower pressure plate. A light-transmitting hole communicating with the light source mounting slot is formed between the upper pressure plate and the lower pressure plate.

[0015] Optionally, the lower edge of the upper pressure plate is provided with an upper sealing edge extending to the light-transmitting hole, and the upper edge of the lower pressure plate is provided with a lower sealing edge extending to the light-transmitting hole. The upper sealing edge and the lower sealing edge cooperate to confine the light source within the light source mounting groove.

[0016] Optionally, the lamp housing has a wire passage on one side wall that is offset from the light-transmitting hole, and the end of the mounting slot has a clearance notch corresponding to the wire passage.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0019] 1) Improved light source stability and durability: By installing the light source in the light source mounting groove of the main body of the pressure strip, the light source is effectively fixed. This installation method avoids the problems of the light strip bulging and falling off due to the aging of the adhesive in traditional adhesive methods, significantly improving the stability and durability of the light source. The light source mounting groove provides a stable support and protection for the light source, reducing the risk of damage to the light source due to external factors (such as vibration, friction, etc.).

[0020] 2) Optimized display effect and energy saving: By combining light sources and fiber optic strips, a smaller light source can illuminate the entire long fiber optic strip, achieving a display effect similar to a long light strip. This method is not only aesthetically pleasing but also significantly reduces the number of light sources required, thereby reducing energy consumption. Simultaneously, the light-guiding and diffusion characteristics of the fiber optic strip ensure more uniform light distribution, further enhancing the display effect. Furthermore, due to the smaller number of light sources and their stable installation, this solution has lower maintenance costs compared to traditional adhesive light strips. In case of failure, only the light source needs to be replaced, making the operation simple, quick, and inexpensive. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0034] Currently, corner strips are usually installed at the corners of the steps for boarding and alighting on public transport buses. In order to achieve a better reminder effect and optimize the decoration, some strips are also equipped with light strips. When the light strips are lit, they can better indicate the height of the steps for passengers boarding and alighting, reducing the risk of passengers missing their footing or kicking the steps.

[0035] However, the existing step strips on buses still have some defects: the light strips on the step strips are generally fixed by pasting them onto the surface of the strips. After long-term use, the light strips are prone to bulging and falling off due to the aging of the adhesive.

[0036] To overcome the above technical problems, refer to Figures 1-7 This embodiment provides a step strip, including:

[0037] The main body of the pressure strip 1 has a light source mounting groove 121 along its own length direction;

[0038] The light source 2 is arranged along the length of the pressure strip body 1 and installed in the light source mounting groove 121; the light source 2 includes a connected lamp source 21 and an optical fiber strip 22, and the light emitted by the lamp source 21 can illuminate the optical fiber strip 22.

[0039] The light source 2 is installed in the light source mounting groove 121 of the pressure strip body 1. In order to allow the light emitted by the light source 2 to pass through, it is feasible to provide a light-transmitting hole 14 on one side of the pressure strip body 1 located in the light source mounting groove 121, so that the light source 2 can be exposed through the light-transmitting hole 14 and passengers can observe the light emitted by the light source 2; or, the pressure strip body 1 can be made of transparent material, which also allows passengers to observe the light emitted by the light source 2.

[0040] The light source 2 is a combination of a lamp source 21 and an optical fiber strip 22. The optical fiber strip 22 constitutes the majority of the length, while the lamp source 21 occupies a shorter portion. The optical fiber strip 22 serves only as a light-guiding, diffusing fiber, while the lamp source 21 is the active light emitter 212 that illuminates when powered on. When the lamp source 21 is powered on, the light is conducted and diffused along the optical fiber strip 22, illuminating the entire strip. This structure uses a relatively small lamp source 21 to illuminate the entire long-distance light source 2, achieving a display effect similar to a long light strip. Furthermore, the required number of lamp sources 21 is small, resulting in advantages such as low power consumption and low maintenance and replacement costs. Optionally, the optical fiber strip 22 can be made of quartz glass or acrylic.

[0041] Furthermore, in the installation structure of the light source 2 in this embodiment, a light source mounting groove 121 is provided on the pressure strip body 1. The light source 2 is installed in the light source mounting groove 121, which effectively fixes the light source 2 and avoids the risk of the light source 2 loosening or falling off. At the same time, the installation of the light source 2 in the light source mounting groove 121 is equivalent to using the pressure strip body 1 to provide a protective barrier structure for the light source 2, which reduces the risk of damage to the light source 2.

[0042] In summary, the step strip provided in this embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0043] 1) Improved stability and durability of light source 2: By installing light source 2 in the light source mounting groove 121 of the pressure strip body 1, effective fixation of light source 2 is achieved. This installation method avoids the problem of light strip bulging and falling off due to adhesive aging caused by traditional adhesive methods, significantly improving the stability and durability of light source 2. The light source mounting groove 121 provides a stable support and protection for light source 2, reducing the risk of damage to light source 2 caused by external factors (such as vibration, friction, etc.).

[0044] 2) Optimized display effect and energy saving: By combining light source 21 and fiber optic strip 22, a smaller light source 21 can illuminate the entire long fiber optic strip 22, achieving a display effect similar to a long light strip. This method is not only aesthetically pleasing but also significantly reduces the number of light sources 21 required, thereby reducing energy consumption. Simultaneously, the light-guiding and diffusion characteristics of the fiber optic strip 22 result in a more uniform light distribution, further enhancing the display effect. Furthermore, because this solution uses fewer light sources 21 and ensures stable installation, its maintenance cost is lower than traditional adhesive light strips. In case of failure, only the light source 21 needs to be replaced, making the operation simple, quick, and cost-effective.

[0045] In one embodiment, one or both ends of the optical fiber strip 22 are connected to the light source 21.

[0046] Specifically, depending on actual needs, when the fiber optic strip 22 is long, a light source 21 can be connected to each end; when the fiber optic strip 22 is short, a light source 21 can be connected to only one end. This embodiment uses the form of connecting the light source 21 to the end of the fiber optic strip 22, which has the advantages of simple connection and ease of implementation.

[0047] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 5-7 The light source 2 also includes a transparent optical fiber sheath 23, and the optical fiber strip 22 is installed inside the optical fiber sheath 23; the light source 21 includes a lamp housing 211 and a light-emitting element 212 disposed inside the lamp housing 211, the end of the optical fiber sheath 23 is fixedly connected to the lamp housing 211, and the optical fiber strip 22 is connected to the light-emitting element 212.

[0048] The end of the fiber optic sheath 23 is fixedly connected to the lamp housing 211. This design ensures a stable connection between the fiber optic strip 22 and the light-emitting element 212. This physical connection not only prevents the fiber optic strip 22 from loosening or falling off during long-term use, but also ensures effective light transmission, avoiding light attenuation or interruption due to poor connection. The fiber optic strip 22 is installed inside the transparent fiber optic sheath 23. This design provides additional physical protection, preventing the fiber optic strip 22 from being damaged by external environmental factors (such as friction, impact, dust, etc.). The fiber optic sheath 23 can also effectively isolate the fiber optic strip 22 from potential harmful factors such as moisture and chemicals in the surrounding environment, thereby extending the service life of the light source 2.

[0049] In one embodiment, the optical fiber sheath 23 is waterproofly connected to the lamp housing 211.

[0050] The waterproof connection design effectively prevents moisture from seeping in from the connection between the fiber optic sheath 23 and the lamp housing 211, thereby avoiding problems such as short circuits in the internal circuit of the lamp source 21 and water damage caused by moisture.

[0051] Regarding the form of waterproof connection, optionally, a waterproof ring or waterproof glue can be installed at the connection between the fiber optic sheath 23 and the lamp housing 211 to achieve waterproofing.

[0052] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 The cross-sectional shapes of the optical fiber sheath 23 and the lamp housing 211 correspond to the cross-sectional shape of the light source mounting groove 121.

[0053] Specifically, the cross-section is a section perpendicular to the length direction of the main body 1 of the pressure strip.

[0054] The cross-sectional shapes of the fiber optic sheath 23 and the lamp housing 211 match the cross-sectional shape of the light source mounting groove 121, making the installation process simpler and more intuitive. Workers can more easily and accurately insert the fiber optic sheath 23 and the lamp housing 211 from the ends into the light source mounting groove 121 without complex adjustments or corrections. This not only improves installation efficiency but also reduces the risk of malfunctions due to improper installation. Furthermore, the matching cross-sectional shapes help ensure a good fit between the fiber optic sheath 23 and the lamp housing 211 and the light source mounting groove 121, which helps enhance the stability of the entire structure and prevents loosening or damage due to vibration or impact.

[0055] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 The pressure strip body 1 includes an upper pressure plate 11, a mounting groove 12, and a lower pressure plate 13. The light source mounting groove 121 is formed in the mounting groove 12. The upper pressure plate 11 is connected to the upper edge of the mounting groove 12, and the lower pressure plate 13 is connected to the lower edge of the mounting groove 12.

[0056] Preferably, the pressure strip body 1 is an integral structure, that is, the upper pressure plate 11, the mounting groove 12, and the lower pressure plate 13 are an integral structure. More preferably, the pressure strip body 1 is an integral extrusion molding or integral injection molding structure.

[0057] An installation slot 12 is provided between the upper pressure plate 11 and the lower pressure plate 13 to arrange the light source installation slot 121. This allows the light source 2 to be positioned closer to the corner of the pressure strip body 1, making the position of the light source 2 better reflect the corner position and providing a more intuitive prompt to passengers.

[0058] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 The mounting slot 12 includes a top sidewall 122, an inner sidewall 123, and a bottom sidewall 124. The inner edges of the top sidewall 122 and the bottom sidewall 124 are respectively connected to the inner sidewall 123. The outer edge of the top sidewall 122 is connected to the upper pressure plate 11, and the outer edge of the bottom sidewall 124 is connected to the lower pressure plate 13. A light-transmitting hole 14 communicating with the light source mounting slot 121 is formed between the upper pressure plate 11 and the lower pressure plate 13.

[0059] That is, in this structure, the mounting slot 12 is set on the inner corner side of the pressure strip body 1, which avoids the light source 2 from protruding outward after installation, and thus avoids the problem of the light source 2 protruding and obstructing passengers and damaging the appearance.

[0060] A light-transmitting hole 14 is formed between the upper pressure plate 11 and the lower pressure plate 13, allowing the light source 2 installed therein to transmit light outward, making it easy for passengers to directly observe the presence of the light source 2.

[0061] In one embodiment, the lower edge of the upper pressure plate 11 is provided with an upper sealing edge 113 extending to the light-transmitting hole 14, and the upper edge of the lower pressure plate 13 is provided with a lower sealing edge 131 extending to the light-transmitting hole 14. The upper sealing edge 113 and the lower sealing edge 131 cooperate to confine the light source 2 within the light source mounting groove 121.

[0062] The design of the upper sealing edge 113 and the lower sealing edge 131 enables the light source 2 to be effectively fixed after installation, preventing it from shaking or shifting in the light source mounting groove 121, and also preventing the light source 2 from falling out of the light transmission hole 14.

[0063] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 The lamp housing 211 has a wire passage 2111 on one side wall that is offset from the light-transmitting hole 14, and the end of the mounting slot 12 has a clearance notch 125 corresponding to the wire passage 2111.

[0064] Specifically, the light source 21 needs to be connected to a power source through a wire 213 to obtain electrical energy. Therefore, the light source 21 also includes a wire 213. A through hole is provided at the tail of the lamp housing 211 to allow the wire 213 to pass through. One end of the wire 213 is connected to the light-emitting body 212, and the other end passes through the through hole and is connected to the power supply terminal. Preferably, the through hole is filled with waterproof glue to play a waterproof role.

[0065] This design incorporates a wire passage opening 2111 on the side wall of the lamp housing 211, allowing the wire 213 to be inserted precisely into it, thus preventing damage to the wire 213 from pressure on the end face of the lamp housing 211 during installation. The wire passage opening 2111 is located on a side offset from the light-transmitting hole 14, which can be any side corresponding to the top side wall 122, inner side wall 123, or bottom side wall 124. Similarly, a clearance notch 125 is provided in the mounting slot 12 corresponding to the wire passage opening 2111, allowing the wire 213 to pass through and preventing damage from pressure on the mounting slot 12.

[0066] In one embodiment, the upper pressure plate 11 includes a top plate 111 and a corner plate 112. The upper edge of the corner plate 112 is connected to the top plate 111, and the lower edge is connected to the mounting slot 12. The top side of the upper pressure plate 11 is provided with a slot 1111, and an anti-slip strip 3 is installed in the slot 1111.

[0067] During installation, the upper pressure plate 11 is located on the top surface of the step, the corner plate 112 is located at the corner of the step, and the mounting slot 12 and the lower pressure plate 13 are located on the side of the step. This structure allows the light source 2 to be placed on the side of the step, making it easier for passengers boarding the vehicle to observe the height of the light source 2 more intuitively and understand the height of the step directly, so as to facilitate the control of the leg lift height when boarding the vehicle.

[0068] A slot 1111 is provided on the top side of the upper pressure plate 11, and an anti-slip strip 3 is provided in the slot 1111 to effectively prevent slipping and prevent passengers from slipping and falling when stepping on it.
