[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of frame module technology, and in particular relates to a frame module for fixing light strips. Background Technology

[0002] In plant lighting technology, LED plant lights have been widely used to improve plant growth efficiency and quality. Designing a plant light frame module that facilitates heat dissipation and has a reasonable structure is crucial for improving the overall performance of the plant light and the plant's growth environment. Various LED strip fixing devices exist on the market, most of which use mechanical fixing or integrated molding designs. However, these methods have some problems, such as inconvenient assembly and disassembly, inaccurate positioning, and easy damage to the LED strips. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a frame module for fixing light strips, aiming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a frame module for fixing light strips, used to connect light strips. The module includes a hollow frame formed by combining an upper frame and a lower frame. Both ends of the upper frame extend downwards and are bent towards the middle to form identical fastening cavities. Both ends of the lower frame extend upwards and are folded towards the middle to form identical folded portions. The folded portions are pressed into the fastening cavities, causing the upper and lower frames to engage, while allowing them to slide against each other. Both ends of the upper frame have through-holes for locking with end caps. The middle section has two through-holes, a first locking hole and a second locking hole, both for locking with the light strip.

[0005] Furthermore, the inner bottom walls of both sides of the upper frame are provided with downward-facing square protrusions, and the left and right inner side walls and inner bottom walls of both sides of the lower frame are provided with the same square protrusions. The upper frame and the lower frame are provided with first connecting holes at the positions corresponding to the square protrusions, and the first connecting holes pass through the square protrusions.

[0006] Furthermore, the end cap sequentially includes a cap body and four sets of connecting portions respectively disposed around the perimeter of the cap body and extending outwards. The diameter of the cap body is adapted to the opening of the frame. Each connecting portion has a through second connecting hole, extends into the frame, and each connecting portion abuts against a corresponding square protrusion. A locking member passes through the first and second connecting holes sequentially to lock the upper frame body and the connecting portions securely.

[0007] Furthermore, a light strip plug is provided between the light strip and the frame. The plug contains locking holes three and four, while the light strip itself has locking holes five and six. One locking element passes through locking holes one, three, and five in sequence, while another locking element passes through locking holes two, four, and six in sequence to lock the frame, the plug, and the light strip in place.

[0008] Furthermore, both locking hole two and locking hole four have a horizontal strip structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a hook arm extends upward from the upper end of the upper frame, forming a hollow slot between the hook arm and the upper frame for hanging on other external components.

[0010] Furthermore, all four corners of the frame are chamfered.

[0011] Furthermore, the two ends of the lower frame are provided with several evenly arranged grooves.

[0012] The frame module for fixing light strips provided in this embodiment of the utility model has at least one of the following technical effects:

[0013] This design provides a light strip fixing frame module, aiming to achieve convenient installation and removal of light strips through an innovative structure. The frame module mainly consists of two parts: an upper frame and a lower frame. These two parts not only ensure the stable installation of the light strip but also greatly improve the efficiency of assembly and maintenance. 1. The upper frame is elongated, with each end extending downwards for a certain distance before bending inwards to form two symmetrical snap-fit ​​cavities. These snap-fit ​​cavities are designed to match the folded parts of the lower frame, achieving a secure snap-fit ​​while maintaining a certain degree of sliding flexibility. At each end of the upper frame, a through-hole is drilled. These holes are used to install end caps, which are locked to the upper frame with screws or other fasteners, thereby sealing both ends of the frame module and preventing the light strip from falling off. The middle of the upper frame has two through-hole locking holes, a first and a second. These holes directly correspond to the locking components (such as screw holes, clips, etc.) on the light strip, securely fixing the light strip to the frame module. 2. The shape of the lower frame echoes that of the upper frame, but in the opposite direction. Both ends extend upwards and fold inwards to form a folded section. This folded section is precisely designed to fit the snap-fit ​​cavity of the upper frame. When combined, the folded section is tightly pressed into the snap-fit ​​cavity, forming a stable yet adjustable connection structure. The snap-fit ​​and sliding design greatly simplifies the installation process, reduces installation time, and facilitates future maintenance and replacement of the light strip.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., 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 embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, a frame module for fixing a light strip is provided for connecting the light strip 130. The frame includes a hollow frame 100, which is formed by combining an upper frame 110 and a lower frame 120. Both ends of the upper frame 110 extend downwards and are bent towards the middle to form identical fastening cavities 160. Both ends of the lower frame 120 extend upwards and are folded towards the middle to form identical folding portions 140. The folding portions 140 are pressed into the fastening cavities 160, causing the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 to engage, while allowing them to slide against each other. Both ends of the upper frame 110 have through first connecting holes 200 for locking with end caps 400. The middle section has through locking holes 300 and 310 for locking with the light strip 130.

[0028] Specifically, the frame 100 module mainly consists of two parts: an upper frame 110 and a lower frame 120. These two parts not only ensure the stable installation of the light strip 130 but also greatly improve the efficiency of assembly and maintenance. 1. The upper frame 110 is elongated, with each end extending downwards for a certain distance before bending inwards to form two symmetrical snap-fit ​​cavities 160. These snap-fit ​​cavities 160 are designed to match the folded portion 140 of the lower frame 120, achieving a stable snap-fit ​​while maintaining a certain degree of sliding flexibility. At both ends of the upper frame 110, through holes 200 are drilled. These holes are used to install end caps 400. The end caps 400 are locked to the upper frame 110 using screws or other fasteners, thereby sealing both ends of the frame 100 module and preventing the light strip 130 from falling off. The upper frame 110 has two through-holes, 300 and 310, in its center. These holes directly correspond to the locking components (such as screw holes or clips) on the light strip 130, securing the light strip 130 firmly to the frame 100 module. The lower frame 120 corresponds in shape to the upper frame 110 but in the opposite direction. Both ends extend upwards and fold inwards to form a folding section 140. The folding section 140 is precisely designed to fit the snap-fit ​​cavity 160 of the upper frame 110. When combined, the folding section 140 is tightly pressed into the snap-fit ​​cavity 160, forming a stable and adjustable connection structure. The snap-fit ​​and sliding design greatly simplifies the installation process, reduces installation time, and facilitates future maintenance and replacement of the light strip 130.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the inner bottom walls of both sides of the upper frame 110 are provided with downward-facing square protrusions 170, and the left and right inner side walls and inner bottom walls of both sides of the lower frame 120 are provided with the same square protrusions 170. The upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 are provided with first connecting holes 200 at positions corresponding to the square protrusions 170, and the first connecting holes 200 pass through the square protrusions 170. The end cap 400 sequentially includes a cap body 410 and four sets of connecting portions 420 respectively disposed around the perimeter of the cap body 410 and extending outwards. The cap body 410 is adapted to the diameter of the frame 100. The connecting portions 420 are provided with through second connecting holes 210, and the connecting portions 420 extend into the frame 100, with each connecting portion 420 abutting against the corresponding square protrusion 170. A locking member passes through the first connecting hole 200 and the second connecting hole 210 sequentially to lock the upper frame 110 and the connecting portions 420 together. Specifically, the square protrusion 170 not only enhances the structural strength of the upper frame 110 but also provides a positioning point for subsequent locking connections. The dimensions of the cover body 410 match the diameter of the frame 100, and connecting portions 420 are provided on all four sides. The locking member 420 passes through the first connecting hole 200 and the second connecting hole 210 in sequence, allowing the end cover 400 to be tightly installed on the frame 100. This provides dust and interference protection, improving the product's versatility and flexibility.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, a light strip plug 180 is provided between the light strip 130 and the frame 100. The plug 180 has corresponding locking holes 320 and 330, while the light strip 130 has corresponding locking holes 340 and 350. One locking element passes through locking holes 300, 320, and 340 in sequence, and another locking element passes through locking holes 310, 330, and 350 in sequence to lock the frame 100, the plug 180, and the light strip. Specifically, the plug 180 is an auxiliary fixing element between the frame 100 and the light strip 130, used to reduce friction-induced equipment damage and provide better cushioning and support. It is usually made of a soft and elastic material, such as rubber or silicone. Through simple alignment and locking operations, the connection between the frame 100, the plug 180, and the light strip can be quickly completed, improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, both locking hole 2 310 and locking hole 4 330 have a horizontal bar structure. The horizontal bar structure design increases the flexibility of assembly. The locking component can move horizontally within the horizontal bar hole. Therefore, during the assembly process, even if there are slight deviations in the positions of the frame 100, the light bar plug 180, and the light bar 130, a tight connection between them can be ensured by adjusting the position of the locking component.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a hook arm 150 extends upward from the upper end of the frame, forming a hollow slot between the hook arm 150 and the upper frame 110 for hanging on other external components. In plant light applications, this slot can be designed to hang hanging ropes, hooks, or other fixing devices, allowing the plant light module to be suspended in the air or fixed to a plant growth support. Furthermore, the hook arm 150 does not require additional fixing components, saving materials.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the four corners of the frame 100 are chamfered, and each surface forms a smooth arc. This makes it easy for the operator to pick up without scratching their hands.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the lower frame 120 has several evenly arranged grooves 190 at both ends. Specifically, the grooves 190 can increase the friction between the product and other objects, thereby improving the product's stability and anti-slip performance.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
