Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and more specifically, to a novel linear light with a retractable end cap. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of LED technology, LED lighting fixtures are increasingly widely used in people's daily lives. Linear lights are a type of high-end decorative lighting, characterized by low energy consumption, long lifespan, high brightness, and maintenance-free operation. Linear lights generate heat during operation, and changes in ambient temperature can affect their dimensions. However, most current linear lights are fixed in place. When used for extended periods, they can expand due to heat, increasing the pressure on the end caps and potentially damaging the lights. Therefore, we propose a new type of linear light with retractable end caps. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel linear light with retractable end caps to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a novel linear light with a retractable end cap, comprising a base, a light body fixedly connected to the upper side of the base, an end cap being provided on one side of the base and the light body, a groove being provided on one side of the base, an adjustment device and a connecting component being provided inside the groove, the adjustment device being used to adjust the position of the end cap, and the connecting component being used to limit and fix the end cap, the adjustment device including a fixing block fixed to the side of the end cap near the base, a sliding groove being provided on the side of the fixing block near the base, a slider being slidably disposed inside the sliding groove, a connecting rod being hinged to one side of the slider, and the other end of the connecting rod being hinged to the base.
[0005] As a further improvement to this technical solution, guide grooves are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the slide groove, and guide blocks are slidably arranged inside the guide grooves, with the guide blocks fixedly installed on the slider.
[0006] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the connecting assembly includes a first connecting rod, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the base. An inner groove is provided inside the first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod is slidably disposed inside the inner groove. One end of the second connecting rod passes through the first connecting rod and extends outward. The end of the second connecting rod passing through the first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side of the end cap near the base.
[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a spring is fixedly connected to the end of the second connecting rod away from the end cap. The spring is fixedly installed inside the inner groove and is used to apply a pulling force to the second connecting rod towards the base side.
[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a limiting groove is provided on the outer side of the inner groove, and a limiting block is slidably arranged inside the limiting groove. The limiting block is fixedly installed on the outer side of the second connecting rod.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] In this novel linear light with a retractable end cap, the slider slides inside a groove through a hinge between a connecting rod, a slider, and a base. When the light body expands due to heat and compresses the end cap, the end cap moves away from the base. The elastic tension applied by a spring to the second connecting rod keeps the end cap in contact with the light body, preventing it from falling off. This also prevents the light body from over-compressing the end cap during prolonged operation and causing damage. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Example 1
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel linear light with a retractable end cap, including a base 1, a light body 2 fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 1, an end cap 5 provided on one side of the base 1 and the light body 2, a groove 6 provided on one side of the base 1, an adjustment device 3 and a connecting component 4 provided inside the groove 6, the adjustment device 3 is used to adjust the position of the end cap 5, and the connecting component 4 is used to limit and fix the end cap 5, the adjustment device 3 includes a fixing block 31 fixed to the side of the end cap 5 near the base 1, a sliding groove 32 provided on the side of the fixing block 31 near the base 1, a slider 33 slidably disposed inside the sliding groove 32, a connecting rod 34 hinged to one side of the slider 33, and the other end of the connecting rod 34 hinged to the base 1, when the light... When the lamp body 2 is working for a long time, it will expand due to heat and squeeze the end cap 5. When the end cap 5 is squeezed, it will move away from the base 1. At the same time, the slider 33 slides inside the slide groove 32 through the hinge between the connecting rod 34, the slider 33 and the base 1. The connecting rod 34 supports the end cap 5 and avoids excessive squeezing force on the end cap 5 when the lamp body 2 expands, which may cause damage to the device. The slide groove 32 has guide grooves 35 on the upper and lower sides. A guide block 36 is slidably arranged inside the guide groove 35. The guide block 36 is fixedly installed on the slider 33. The slider 33 is guided and limited by the sliding of the guide block 36 inside the guide groove 35 to prevent the slider 33 from slipping.
[0021] The connecting assembly 4 includes a first connecting rod 41, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the base 1. An inner groove 42 is formed inside the first connecting rod 41, and a second connecting rod 43 is slidably disposed within the inner groove 42. One end of the second connecting rod 43 passes through the first connecting rod 41 and extends outwards. The end of the second connecting rod 43 passing through the first connecting rod 41 is fixedly connected to the side of the end cap 5 closest to the base 1. When the end cap 5 moves away from the base 1, the connection between the second connecting rod 43 and the end cap 5 prevents the end cap 5 from falling off and maintains the balance of the end cap 5. A spring 44 is fixedly connected to the end of the second connecting rod 43 away from the end cap 5. Spring 44 is fixedly installed inside the inner groove 42. Spring 44 is used to apply a pulling force to the second connecting rod 43 towards the base 1. The elastic pulling force applied by spring 44 to the second connecting rod 43 ensures that the end cap 5 is always in contact with the lamp body 2 on the side close to the base 1, so that the end cap 5 protects the lamp body 2. At the same time, a limiting groove 45 is opened on the outer side of the inner groove 42. A limiting block 46 is slidably installed inside the limiting groove 45. The limiting block 46 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the second connecting rod 43. The sliding of the limiting block 46 inside the limiting groove 45 guides and limits the second connecting rod 43, preventing the second connecting rod 43 from slipping and causing the end cap 5 to fall off.
[0022] In this embodiment, a novel linear light with a retractable end cap is used such that, due to the absorption of heat emitted by the light body 2 during prolonged operation, the light body 2 expands. When the light body 2 expands, it presses against the end cap 5. The hinge between the connecting rod 34, the slider 33, and the base 1 allows the slider 33 to slide inside the groove 32, supporting the end cap 5 and moving it away from the base 1. This prevents excessive pressure from the light body 2 on the end cap 5 during expansion, which could damage the device. Simultaneously, when the end cap 5 moves, the elastic tension applied to the second connecting rod 43 by the spring 44 keeps the side of the end cap 5 closest to the base 1 always in contact with the side of the light body 2, protecting the light body 2. The second connecting rod 43 also supports and limits the end cap 5, ensuring it remains balanced.
