[0038] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a convenient sliding lamp structure and lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a chain-type lamp structure includes a chain body, which includes a plurality of interconnected chain connecting rings 1. At least one chain connecting ring 1 can emit light through an internal light source 11 to form a light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A. The light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A can transmit light to form a light-emitting body. Adjacent chain connecting rings 1 can rotate relative to each other to achieve flexible bending of the chain body. The joints of adjacent chain connecting rings 1 are interconnected, so that the chain body constitutes a complete electrical circuit.

[0040] In other words, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a chain-type lamp structure according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a chain body composed of multiple interconnected chain connecting rings 1. The number of chain connecting rings 1 can be adjusted according to structural requirements. Adjacent chain connecting rings 1 can rotate relative to each other. Each chain connecting ring 1 has two ends connected to an adjacent chain connecting ring 1. The rotation between adjacent chain connecting rings 1 allows for flexible bending of the chain body, achieving the effect of freely changing the shape of the chain body. At least one chain connecting ring 1 contains a light source 11, preferably an LED light source. The chain connecting ring 1 containing the light source 11 is further divided into light-emitting chain connecting rings 1A, which can transmit light to form a light-emitting body, thus integrating the chain shape and lamp illumination. Of course, all chain connecting rings 1 in the chain body can be light-emitting chain connecting rings 1A, or it can include some non-light-emitting chain connecting rings 1, which are further divided into decorative chain connecting rings 1B. The two types of chain connecting rings 1 can be combined and replaced according to design requirements, and the chain body can be applied to various lighting fixtures, such as chandeliers, wall lamps, table lamps, floor lamps, etc. The above examples are only illustrative of the applicable technical solutions for the chain connecting rings and are not exhaustive of all possible implementation methods. Those skilled in the art should understand that, without departing from the core idea of ​​this invention, the technical features can be replaced, combined, or adjusted, and these modifications should all fall within the protection scope of this invention. Whether it is the luminous chain connecting ring 1A or the decorative chain connecting ring 1B, the contact points of two adjacent chain connecting rings 1 are interconnected, and the chain body forms a complete electrical circuit through internal circuitry. This maximizes the artistic effect of the chain, resulting in a highly aesthetically pleasing design.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, two adjacent chain connecting rings 1 are connected by a hinge part 2. During the rotational movement between the chain connecting rings 1, the hinge part 2 increases the friction between the chain connecting rings 1 through multi-point contact.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a hinge part 2 is provided at the contact point between two adjacent chain connecting rings 1. The hinge part 2 can provide multiple points of contact during the rotation of the two adjacent chain connecting rings 1, so as to increase the friction between the chain connecting rings 1 during movement and avoid the problem that the chain body cannot be shaped after the shaping is completed.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hinge part 2 includes a ball head connector 21 and a fixing fastener 22. One end of the ball head connector 21 is connected to the chain connecting ring 1, and the end away from the chain connecting ring 1 is provided with a ball head 211. The fixing fastener 22 is connected to another chain connecting ring 1 arranged adjacent to the chain connecting ring 1. The fixing fastener 22 is provided with a ball cup 221 for covering the ball head 211, and the ball head 211 can rotate with the ball center within the ball cup 221.

[0044] In other words, such as Figure 2 As shown, the hinge part 2 includes a ball-end connector 21 and a fastener 22. One end of the ball-end connector 21 is connected to the chain link 1, and the other end has a ball head 211, which is spherical. The fastener 22 is connected to another chain link 1, that is, the ball-end connector 21 and the fastener 22 are respectively connected to two adjacent chain links 1. The fastener 22 has a ball cup 221 for covering the ball head 211, and the ball cup 221 is spherically concave. Figure 5 As shown, there can be two fasteners 22 at the same location, with the two opposite fasteners 22 interlocking to cover the ball head 211. In other words, when two adjacent chain connecting rings 1 rotate relative to each other, one chain connecting ring 1 is fixedly connected to the ball head connecting member 21, and the other chain connecting ring 1 is connected to the fastener 22. The two chain connecting rings 1 rotate relative to each other by the concentric rotation of the ball head 211 within the ball cup portion 221. Due to the covering effect of the ball cup portion 211 on the ball head 211, friction is increased, and the two can stop rotating at any time and maintain their relative positions, facilitating the bending and shaping of the chain body. To increase the friction of the covering and prevent loosening, the two fasteners 22 can be interlocked by a snap-fit ​​structure, or by screw connection, or a combination of both.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A is composed of two annular connecting units 12 stacked together. One side of the annular connecting unit 12 is open to form an annular receiving cavity 121, and the open ends of the two annular connecting units 12 are closed and stacked together.

[0046] In other words, such as Figure 3 As shown, the light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A is mainly composed of annular connecting units 12. Figure 4 As shown, the annular connecting unit 12 is generally annular, with one side opening to form an annular receiving cavity 121. The opening ends of two annular connecting units 12 are interlocked and stacked to form a light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A. The material of the annular connecting unit 12 is preferably a light-transmitting material, such as PMMA or PC. The annular connecting unit 12 is made of a commonly used material for lampshades, which is understandable to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first slot 122 is provided on the annular connecting unit 12 at the position where it connects with the hinge part 2, and two fixing fasteners 22 are fastened together through the first slot 122 to fix the two annular connecting units 12.

[0048] In other words, such as Figure 3 As shown, two annular connecting units 12 are fastened together by fasteners 22. A first slot 122 is provided on the annular connecting unit 12 at the position where it connects with the hinge part 2. The two fasteners 22 are fastened together through the first slot 122 to fix the two annular connecting units 12. The first slot 122 can both limit the position of the fasteners 22 to prevent them from sliding around the annular connecting unit 12, and provide space for the fasteners 22 to improve the overall aesthetics of the chain connecting ring 1.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a male plug 212 and a female plug 213 for electrical connection are provided between the ball head connector 21 and the chain connecting ring 1, and a through hole is provided on the ball head 211 to facilitate the passage of the circuit.

[0050] In other words, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate quick assembly of the chain body and improve the safety and convenience of circuit conduction, a male plug 212 and a female plug 213 for electrical connection are provided between the ball head connector 21 and the chain connecting ring 1. A through hole is provided on the ball head 211 to facilitate circuit passage. Figure 2 Taking the example shown, the lower part of the light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A is connected to the adjacent chain connecting ring 1 below it via the hinge part 2. The male plug 212 is fixed on the top inner wall of the lowest chain connecting ring 1, and the female plug 213 is connected to the ball head 211. The male plugs 212 are connected to each other via internal wires, and the female plug 213 is connected to the light source 11 via internal wires. A through hole is provided on the ball head 211 to facilitate the passage of wires. By setting the male plug 212 and the female plug 213 between the ball head connector 21 and the chain connecting ring 1, the entire circuit of the chain body is made conductive, and the assembly between two adjacent chain connecting rings 1 is facilitated. It should be noted that the positions of the male plug 212 and the female plug 213 can be interchanged according to the actual situation, and are not restricted here.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A further includes an annular heat dissipation ring 13. The annular heat dissipation ring 13 is disposed in the receiving cavity 121 formed by the superposition of two annular connecting units 12, and the light source 11 is fixed in the light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A through the annular heat dissipation ring 13.

[0052] Furthermore, a second slot 123 is provided in the receiving cavity 121 near the hinge part 2 within the annular connecting unit 12. After the annular heat dissipation ring 13 is fastened by the two annular connecting units 12, the two second slots 123 fix it.

[0053] In other words, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the light source 11 is fixed in the light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A by the annular heat sink 13. The receiving cavity 121 near the hinge part 2 in the annular connecting unit 12 is provided with a second slot 123. When the two annular connecting units 12 are fastened together, the two oppositely arranged second slots 123 fix the annular heat sink ring 13 in the receiving cavity 121.

[0054] Furthermore, the light source 11 extends along the circumference of the annular heat dissipation ring 13.

[0055] In other words, to ensure more uniform light emission from the entire light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A, the light source 11 extends along the circumference of the annular heat dissipation ring 13. More preferably, light sources 11 are provided on both the inner and outer rings of the heat dissipation ring 13, and the light sources 11 are connected to the power supply through internal circuitry. The power supply can be built into the chain body or located outside the chain body.

[0056] Next Figure 6 The illustrated embodiment explains the assembly sequence of the chain body. The non-luminous decorative chain connecting ring 1B is configured as two C-shaped connecting units 14. The openings of the two C-shaped connecting units 14 are joined together, connected at the interface via a mating connector 23, and locked with a mortise screw 15. A male plug 212 is mounted on the mating connector 23, ultimately forming the decorative chain connecting ring 1B. During assembly, the individual luminous chain connecting rings 1A are assembled first, followed by the splicing of the chain body. The luminous chain connecting rings 1A to be connected are passed through the openings of the C-shaped connecting units 14 in the decorative chain connecting ring 1B, and locked via the mating connector 23 and the mortise screw 15, forming the chain body.

[0057] Of course, considering the ease of assembly of the chain connecting ring 1, the annular connecting unit 12 in the light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A can also be designed as an open one. Specifically, the annular connecting unit 12 is disconnected from the two first slots 122 to form two open annular connecting units 12, and the second slot 123 is set onto the fixing fastener 22. The four open annular connecting units 12 are assembled using the upper and lower sets of fixing fasteners 22 to form a chain connecting ring 1. This makes the assembly of the chain body more convenient and also allows the entire chain body to function as a light-emitting element.

[0058] This utility model discloses a chain-type lamp structure, including a chain body. The chain body includes multiple interconnected chain connecting rings 1. Adjacent chain connecting rings 1 can rotate relative to each other, thereby achieving flexible bending of the chain body. At least one chain connecting ring 1 can emit light through an internal light source 11, forming a light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A. The light-emitting chain connecting ring 1A is translucent, forming a light-emitting body, thus integrating the chain's shape with its lighting function. The joints of adjacent chain connecting rings 1 are interconnected, making the chain body a complete electrical circuit, allowing for circuit conduction within the chain. This chain-type lamp structure achieves flexible bending of the chain body through relative rotation between the chain connecting rings 1, simulating the effect of a chain freely changing its shape. The light-emitting chain connecting rings 1 are formed by embedding the light source 11 within the chain connecting rings 1, achieving the effect of the chain connecting rings 1 emitting light. The interconnection between adjacent chain connecting rings 1 at their joints completes the internal circuit conduction, concealing the wires and improving aesthetics.

[0059] This application also discloses a lighting fixture, including the chain-type lighting fixture structure described in the foregoing embodiments. This lighting fixture incorporates the same structure and beneficial effects as the chain-type lighting fixture structure described in the foregoing embodiments. The chain-type lighting fixture structure and its beneficial effects have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.
