[0021] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a connector for a linear lamp includes a base 7, at least one first hinge 1 snapped onto the outer periphery of the base 7, at least one second hinge 2 snapped onto the outer periphery of the base 7 and spaced apart from the first hinge 1, a first adapter 3 connected to the first hinge 1, a male connector 4 fixedly connected to the first adapter 3, a second adapter 5 connected to the second hinge 2, and a female connector 6 fixedly connected to the second adapter 5. The male connector 4 has a sliding groove 8 on its end face away from the first adapter 3, and the female connector 6 has a sliding block 9 protruding from its end face away from the second adapter 5. The male connector 4 is used to slide and snap onto the female connector of the linear lamp through the sliding groove 8, and the female connector 6 is used to slide and snap onto the male connector of the linear lamp through the sliding block 9.

[0023] In actual application, the connector and the matching linear lamp are connected to a male connector 4 and a female connector 6 at both ends of the linear lamp, respectively. The male connector of the linear lamp has the same structure as the male connector 4 of the connector, and the female connector of the linear lamp has the same structure as the female connector 6 of the connector. When the connector and the linear lamp are combined, the male connector 4 of the connector slides and engages with the sliding block of the female connector of the linear lamp through the sliding slot 8, and the female connector 6 of the connector slides and engages with the sliding slot of the male connector of another linear lamp through the sliding block 9. This enables quick connection of at least two linear lamps at different angles, which helps to improve installation efficiency.

[0024] Furthermore, the male connector 4 has a snap-fit ​​mounting groove 10 on its end face away from the first adapter 3, and a male snap-fit ​​11 is fixedly installed in the snap-fit ​​mounting groove 10. The female connector 6 has a female snap-fit ​​hole 12 on its end face away from the second adapter 5. The male connector 4 is used to engage with the female connector of the linear lamp through the male snap-fit ​​11, and the female connector 6 is used to engage with the male connector of the linear lamp through the female snap-fit ​​hole 12. When this connector is combined with the linear lamp, the male connector 4 of the connector engages with the female snap-fit ​​hole of the female connector of the linear lamp through the male snap-fit ​​11, and the female connector 6 of the connector engages with the male snap-fit ​​of the male connector of another linear lamp, which helps to improve the connection stability between the connector and the linear lamp.

[0025] Furthermore, the male connector 4 has a first terminal locking hole 13, and the male connector 4 is provided with a first spring terminal 14 that is locked in the first terminal locking hole 13. The spring portion of the first spring terminal 14 extends into the sliding locking groove 8. The female connector 6 has a second terminal locking hole 15, and the female connector 6 is provided with a second spring terminal 16 that is locked in the second terminal locking hole 15. The spring portion of the second spring terminal 16 abuts against the side of the sliding locking block 9. The first spring terminal 14 of the male connector 4 is used to electrically connect with the second spring terminal of the female connector of the linear lamp, and the second spring terminal 16 of the female connector 6 is used to electrically connect with the first spring terminal of the male connector of the linear lamp. When the connector is combined with the linear lamp, the spring portion of the first spring terminal 14 of the connector abuts against the spring portion of the second spring terminal of the female connector of the linear lamp to achieve an electrical connection, and the spring portion of the second spring terminal 16 of the connector abuts against the spring portion of the first spring terminal of the male connector of the linear lamp to achieve an electrical connection.

[0026] Furthermore, the male connector 4 also has a third terminal slot 17, and a spring probe 18 that is movable within the third terminal slot 17. The female connector 6 also has a fourth terminal slot 19, and a pin female terminal 20 fixed to the fourth terminal slot 19. The spring probe 18 of the male connector 4 is used for electrical connection with the pin female terminal of the linear lamp's female connector, and the pin female terminal 20 of the female connector 6 is used for electrical connection with the spring probe of the male connector of the linear lamp. After the connector is combined with the linear lamp, the spring probe 18 of the male connector 4 of the connector abuts against the pin female terminal of the linear lamp's female connector to achieve electrical connection, and the pin female terminal 20 of the female connector 6 of the connector abuts against the spring probe of the male connector of the linear lamp to achieve electrical connection.

[0027] Furthermore, the first hinge 1 has a first wiring through hole 21, and the first adapter 3 has a second wiring through hole 22 communicating with the first wiring through hole; the second hinge 2 has a third wiring through hole 23, and the second adapter 5 has a fourth wiring through hole 24 communicating with the third wiring through hole. This allows the connector to pass wires through the first wiring through hole 21 and the second wiring through hole 22, and the connector to pass wires through the third wiring through hole 23 and the fourth wiring through hole 24.

[0028] Furthermore, the first hinge seat 1 has protruding first angle limiting blocks 25 on both sides to limit the rotation range of the first adapter seat 3; the second hinge seat 2 has protruding second angle limiting blocks 26 on both sides to limit the rotation range of the second adapter seat 5. The first adapter seat 3 and the second adapter seat 5 can be finely adjusted in angle. In addition, in this embodiment, the first hinge seat 1 is fixedly connected to the first adapter seat 3 by bolts, and the second hinge seat 2 is fixedly connected to the second adapter seat 5 by bolts. After the angle of the first adapter seat 3 and the second adapter seat 5 is finely adjusted, the bolts are fixed, which helps to prevent the first adapter seat 3 and the second adapter seat 5 from swinging during use.

[0029] Furthermore, the base 7 includes a hollow base 71 and a cover plate 72 covering the hollow base 71. The first hinge 1 has a first latching protrusion 27 protruding from its side near the base 7, and the second hinge 2 has a second latching protrusion 28 protruding from its side near the base 7. The hollow base 71 has at least one first mounting groove 29 and at least one second mounting groove 30 on its outer periphery. The first mounting groove 29 has first locking slots 31 on both sides that engage with the first latching protrusion 27, and the second mounting groove 30 has second locking slots 32 on both sides that engage with the second latching protrusion 28. In this embodiment, there are two first hinges 1, two second hinges 2, two first mounting grooves 29, and two second mounting grooves 30, arranged in a cross shape on the hollow base 71.

[0030] Furthermore, the male connector 4 is provided with a first protective cover 33 on the end face away from the first adapter 3, and the female connector 6 is provided with a second protective cover 34 on the end face away from the second adapter 5.

[0031] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
