DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present application will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] In the following description, a lot of specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present application, therefore the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the "one embodiment" or "embodiment" referred to herein means that the specific features, structures or characteristics can be included in at least one implementation of the present application. In this specification, "in one embodiment" does not mean the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] EMBODIMENT

[0026] REFERENCE Figures 1-4 For the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment provides a neon lamp tube with a bending protection structure, comprising,

[0027] The lamp tube assembly 100 comprises a base 101, a stand 102 fixedly connected to the middle side wall of the base 101, a lamp tube body 103 clamped to the side wall of the stand 102, and a lamp tube joint 104 adaptively installed at the end of the lamp tube body 103, wherein the lamp tube joint 104 is located outside the stand 102.

[0028] The protection assembly 200 comprises a baffle 201 fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 101, a connecting piece 202 slidingly installed in the inner wall of the baffle 201, and a supporting plate 203 inserted into the side wall of the end of the connecting piece 202, wherein an arc-shaped edge structure is formed at the end of the supporting plate 203, and the arc-shaped edge of the end of the supporting plate 203 is clamped to the outside of the bending edge of the lamp tube body 103.

[0029] The base 101 is used to fix the entire neon tube in conjunction with the column 102. The tube body 103 is snapped onto the column 102 via a slot. The tube connector 104 facilitates wiring connections. The connector 202 is slidably connected to the baffle 201 via a sliding groove, and its position can be adjusted radially along the tube. The arc-shaped edge of the support plate 203 is snapped onto the outside of the bent edge, forming support for the bent part and protecting the bent part of the neon tube.

[0030] Specifically, the protective component 200 also includes a locking bolt 204 inserted into the side wall of the baffle 201. The end of the locking bolt 204 is threaded to the side wall of the connector 202, and the side wall of the baffle 201 is provided with a mounting hole for use with the locking bolt 204.

[0031] The rotating locking bolt 204 can lock the connector on the baffle to prevent the support plate 203 from shifting during use.

[0032] Furthermore, the protection component 200 also includes a gasket 205 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 203, and the gasket 205 is snapped into the end side wall of the lamp tube body 103.

[0033] Among them, a gasket 205 (made of rubber or silicone) is attached to the inner wall of the support plate 203. The gasket 205 contacts the bend at the end of the lamp tube body 103. The elastic buffer reduces the impact of vibration on the bend and increases friction to prevent the lamp tube from sliding.

[0034] Furthermore, the protection component 200 also includes a locking block 206 that is snapped onto the side wall of the lamp tube body 103, and a connecting rod 207 that is threaded onto the end of the locking block 206. The locking blocks 206 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the connecting rod 207, and the two sets of locking blocks 206 are respectively installed on the side wall of the lamp tube body 103.

[0035] Among them, the locking blocks 206 are symmetrically locked onto the side wall of the lamp tube body, and the connecting rod 207 passes through the locking blocks through the thread. Rotating the connecting rod can tighten the two sets of locking blocks, clamping the lamp tube body (including the bent parts) from both sides to form lateral reinforcement and further increase the strength of the neon lamp tube.

[0036] Preferably, the protective component 200 also includes a spring 208 fixedly connected inside the connector 202, with the upper end of the spring 208 fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 203.

[0037] The connector 202 contains a spring 208, the upper end of which is fixed to the support plate 203. When the lamp tube is subjected to external force, the spring 208 can absorb the impact force by compression or extension, further reducing stress concentration at the bending point.

[0038] It should be noted that the baffle 201 is installed on the outside of the column 102, and the middle side wall of the baffle 201 is provided with a light-transmitting hole that is used in conjunction with the lamp tube body 103.

[0039] The middle part of the baffle 201 is provided with a light-transmitting hole corresponding to the position of the lamp body 103, so as to ensure that light is transmitted from the side.

[0040] Preferably, the protection assembly 200 further comprises an inclined support 209 fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle 201, and the lower end of the inclined support 209 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 101.

[0041] The inclined support 209 is in triangular connection with the baffle 201 and the base 101, so as to enhance the overall rigidity of the baffle 201 and prevent deformation in long-term use.

[0042] In use, the lamp body 103 is clamped on the stand column 102 through the clamping groove, and is adjusted to the required position. The lamp connector 104 is exposed outside the stand column 102 for wiring. According to the position of the bending part of the lamp, the position of the sliding connector 202 on the baffle 201 is adjusted, so that the arc-shaped edge of the supporting plate 203 is aligned with the bending part of the lamp. The locking bolt 204 is rotated to fix the position of the connector, so as to ensure that the supporting plate 203 is tightly attached to the outside of the bending edge. When the spring 208 is in a natural state, the supporting plate 203 is slightly in contact with the lamp through the gasket 205. If external force acts on the lamp (such as carrying and vibration), the spring 208 can automatically buffer to avoid rigid collision and cause the bending part to break. The rotary connecting rod 207 is rotated, and the clamping blocks 206 on both sides are clamped to the lamp body 103 through threaded transmission, so as to further limit the transverse displacement of the bending part.

[0043] In summary, the arc-shaped structure of the supporting plate provides physical support, the spring and the gasket absorb vibration energy, and the double mechanism reduces the stress concentration of the bending part and reduces the risk of breakage. The transverse clamping of the clamping blocks and the connecting rod and the radial support of the supporting plate form a three-dimensional protection system to adapt to external forces in different directions. The connector can slide along the baffle, and the locking bolt is matched, which is suitable for neon lamp tubes with different bending angles or sizes, and has strong versatility. The clamping type lamp installation and the threaded type connecting rod adjustment can be completed without professional tools, which improves the maintenance efficiency.
