Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lighting technology, and in particular relates to an optimized LED tube mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of semiconductor light-emitting technology, LEDs have become increasingly widely used due to their advantages such as energy saving and long lifespan. Low-power LEDs, in particular, have gained popularity in many fields due to their low heat generation and mature technology. However, in traditional LED tube installation methods, the standard length of tubes from different manufacturers varies, resulting in the tube being inserted into the lamp holder either too tightly or too loosely. Too tight an insertion can cause the lamp holder, fixed within the lamp housing, to deform under pressure, leading to poor contact between the contacts and electrode plates and causing heat generation. Too loose an insertion can further reduce the contact area between the contacts and electrode plates or create gaps, increasing contact resistance and causing heat generation. Utility Model Content

[0024] See appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, it includes:

[0025] The lamp tube 1 has a first connecting end at both ends. The lamp tube 1 is an LED lamp tube 1, but is not limited to this.

[0026] The first connector 2 is disposed on the lamp tube 1 and is fixedly connected to the lamp tube 1. It is provided with a contact 203 and the contact 203 is connected to the first connection end.

[0027] It should be noted that the first connector 2 includes:

[0028] Contact sleeve 201, the contact sleeve 201 is sleeved on both ends of lamp tube 1, and is fixedly connected to lamp tube 1, and is provided with locking grooves 202 arranged symmetrically.

[0029] Contact 203 is provided on contact sleeve 201. One end of it is connected to the first connection end of lamp tube 1, and the other end is inserted into the second connector 3 and electrically connected to the electrode insert 5 in the third connector 4. In other words, contact 203 can conduct electricity to the first connection end of lamp tube 1.

[0030] The second connector 3 is sleeved on the first connector 2 and is slidably connected to the first connector 2.

[0031] It should be noted that the second connector 3 includes: a rotating shaft 301, a through groove 402 at the center of the rotating shaft 301, and symmetrically arranged slots 303 on the side wall of the through groove 402, wherein the slots 303 are provided with the contact points 203 of the first connector 2; the bottom of the through groove 402 is provided with an annular groove 302, which is slidably connected to the third connector 4.

[0032] The third connector 4 is disposed on the second connector 3 and is slidably connected to the second connector 3. It is provided with an electrode insert 5, which is electrically connected to the contact 203 of the first connector 2.

[0033] It should be noted that the third connecting member 4 includes: a lamp holder 401, which has a rotating groove, a symmetrically arranged rotating core 403 at the center of the rotating groove, symmetrically arranged limiting heads on both sides of the rotating core 403, a connecting piece on the inner wall of the rotating groove, and a vertical slot 404 at the top of the rotating groove; the rotating core 403 is inserted into the through groove 402 of the second connecting member 3 and is rotatably connected to the through groove 402; the limiting heads are fitted into the annular groove 302 of the second connecting member 3 and are slidably connected to the annular groove 302; the lamp holder 401 has symmetrically arranged locking heads 405 on both sides of the rotating groove, and the locking heads 405 are fitted into and slidably connected to the locking rotating groove 202 of the first connecting member 2; and an electrode insert 5 is located at the bottom of the lamp holder 401 and is connected to the connecting piece.

[0034] The lamp holder 401 is also provided with symmetrically arranged L-shaped guide rail grooves 406. The L-shaped guide rail grooves 406 are connected to the preset guide rail to achieve sliding, thereby facilitating the change of the position of the lamp tube.

[0035] The technical effects achieved by the above technical solution in the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0036] In use, the contact sleeve 201 of the first connector 2 is fitted onto both ends of the lamp tube 1, keeping the position of the contact sleeve 201 and the lamp tube 1 constant. This allows the symmetrically arranged contacts 203 on the contact sleeve 201 to connect to the first connection ends at both ends of the lamp. The contacts 203 are inserted into the slots 303 of the rotating shaft 301 in the second connector 3. At the same time, the locking head 405 on the lamp holder 401 of the third connector 4 engages with the locking groove 202 on the contact sleeve 201. The through groove 402 of the rotating shaft 301 on the second connector 3 is inserted into the rotating core 403 of the third connector 4, allowing the second connector 3 to rotate on the rotating core 403. Meanwhile, the limiting clip engages with the annular groove 302 of the rotating shaft 301 to prevent it from falling off during rotation. Before installation, the first connector 2 is connected according to the above connection relationship. Connector 2 is connected to lamp tube 1, and second connector 3 is connected to third connector 4 (initially, slot 303 corresponds to vertical slot 404). After connection, contact 203 moves downward from above vertical slot 404, passing sequentially between slot 303 of second connector 3 and rotating core 403, so that contact 203 engages with slot 303 of rotating shaft 301. At this time, locking head 405 does not engage with annular groove 302 of contact sleeve 201. After rotating lamp tube 190°, contact 203 is connected to connecting pieces symmetrically arranged in rotating groove, so that electrode insert 5 supplies power to connecting pieces, contact 203 and first connecting end. At this time, locking head 405 engages with annular groove 302 of contact sleeve 201, completing installation. To disassemble, rotate lamp tube 1 90° in the opposite direction.
