Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of plant lighting facilities, and in particular relates to a flexible lighting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Plant supplemental lighting devices are a type of lighting fixture that provides supplemental light for plant growth. They are commonly used in modern smart agriculture and plant cultivation greenhouses. By providing supplemental light to plants, they promote plant growth, increase yield and product quality. In winter and other conditions with insufficient light, supplemental lighting can achieve the purpose of off-season cultivation.

[0003] Existing plant grow lights are typically fixed installations, usually mounted on walls or supports within a growing room. To ensure effective supplemental lighting, these lights generally have specific length and width dimensions, and after installation, they provide uniform and stable illumination in a specific direction. However, practical installation presents several problems: Existing grow lights typically require a flat mounting surface, such as a wall. However, in certain scenarios, these conditions are not met. For example, when installing lights on columns, curved walls, or walls / supports with corner structures, the lack of a flat mounting surface prevents stable installation. Therefore, there is a need to develop and design new types of grow lights to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flexible lighting fixture that has a certain degree of flexibility, can be installed and used even when there is no flat mounting surface, and has expandable capabilities.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a flexible lighting fixture, including a junction box and at least one lamp unit. The lamp unit includes a lamp housing, an LED module installed inside the lamp housing, a lampshade installed at the front of the lamp housing, and lamp mounting holes provided at the upper and lower parts of the lamp housing. The junction box includes a box body, a plurality of box terminals provided on the box body, and box mounting holes provided at the upper and lower parts of the box body. Lamp connectors are hinged to the middle of both sides of the lamp housing, and junction box connectors are hinged to the middle of both sides of the box body. Adjacent lamp connectors are connected to each other and to the junction box connectors by flexible connectors. The lamp unit has a cable with plug terminals at the ends, and the plug terminals are plugged into the box terminals.

[0006] Preferably, the flexible connector is a rubber sleeve, and its two ends are detachably connected to the lamp connector or the junction box connector.

[0007] Preferably, the root of the lamp connector is hinged to the lamp housing using a lamp hinge shaft, and the root of the junction box connector is hinged to the box body using a junction box hinge shaft; the lamp hinge shaft is a long bolt that passes through the lamp connector and the lamp housing, and the junction box hinge shaft is a long bolt that passes through the junction box connector and the box body.

[0008] Preferably, the lamp connector includes a first base hinged to the lamp housing, a hole in the first base, and a first bolt with a lock nut located inside the hole, the nut of the first bolt being located inside the first base; the junction box connector includes a second base hinged to the junction box body, a hole in the second base, and a second bolt with a lock nut located inside the hole, the nut of the second bolt being located inside the second base, the outer ends of the first bolt and the second bolt being screwed into the end of the flexible connector.

[0009] Preferably, the junction box is fixed to the mounting surface using expansion bolts located in the mounting holes on the box, and at least the lamp units at both ends are fixed to the mounting surface using expansion bolts located in the lamp mounting holes, and the lamp units at both ends have their outer lamp connectors removed.

[0010] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This utility model provides a flexible lighting fixture. Compared with existing fixed-structure plant lighting fixtures, the lighting fixture of this utility model has lighting fixture connectors hinged on both sides of the fixture unit and junction box connectors hinged on both sides of the junction box. Adjacent connectors are connected by flexible connectors, so the entire lighting fixture has a certain degree of flexibility. Thus, when installed on uneven mounting surfaces (such as on the surface of a column), the flexibility of the connectors allows the lighting fixture to adapt to the shape changes of the mounting surface, allowing the back of the fixture unit and the junction box to be stably attached to the mounting surface. This achieves the technical effect of installation and use even under conditions where there is no flat mounting surface.

[0012] On the other hand, each individual lamp is connected to the terminal block on the junction box via the plug-in terminal at the end of the cable. Therefore, this flexible lighting fixture has the ability to expand, that is, more or fewer individual lamps can be connected for use according to the needs of the site lighting (the minimum number of individual lamps is one, and the maximum number is equal to the number of terminals on the junction box), thus improving the flexibility of the lighting fixture when it is installed and used on site.
