Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of LED light strips, and in particular to an LED light strip that can be extended and used. Background Technology

[0002] LED light strips refer to LEDs assembled on a strip-shaped FPC or PCB rigid board. They are mainly composed of LED chips, circuit boards, wires, adhesive, resistors and related accessories. They are named for their strip-like shape.

[0003] In LED strip light applications, to meet the needs of different scenarios, it is often necessary to extend the strip by splicing. Currently, the traditional splicing method mainly relies on the direct engagement of clips and connectors. While this method is simple to operate, during wiring, once the strip is taut, the stress at the connection point can easily cause the connector to loosen. This not only affects the normal illumination of the strip but may also cause a short circuit when powered on, resulting in damage to the strip. To solve the problem of loose connections, some users choose to use tape to fix the connector. However, this method is not perfect either. The tight wrapping of the tape makes the disassembly process both cumbersome and time-consuming. Moreover, after tearing off the tape, residual adhesive residue adheres to the connector, easily attracting dust and other impurities, contaminating the connector, and causing new problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose an LED light strip that can be extended and used. The two ends of the light strip can be designed as cylindrical connectors. When the cylindrical connectors of two or more light strips are precisely engaged, they are fixed by using threaded rings to ensure that the connection of the light strip is tightly interlocked. Even if the light strip is subjected to large tensile or torsional forces during the wiring process, the connectors can be effectively prevented from loosening or shifting.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model proposes an extendable LED light strip, comprising: a light strip and a connecting mechanism, wherein the connecting mechanism includes a male connector, a female connector, a baffle, and a connecting ring, wherein the male connector is disposed at one end of the light strip and the female connector is disposed at the other end of the light strip; the baffle is disposed outside the male connector; and the connecting ring is sleeved outside the male connector.

[0007] In addition, the extendable LED light strip proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] Specifically, protective components are provided at both ends of the light strip. The protective components include a connecting shell, a protective shell, and two sliders. The connecting shell is located at one end of the light strip, and the protective shell is located at the other end of the light strip. Sliding grooves are respectively opened on both sides of the inner wall of the protective shell. The two sliders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting shell.

[0009] Specifically, LED bulbs are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the light strip.

[0010] Specifically, the bottom wall of the light strip is provided with an installation assembly, which includes a connecting strip, multiple first magnetic pieces, a fixing strip, multiple second magnetic pieces, and multiple fixing plates. The connecting strip is disposed on the bottom wall of the light strip; the multiple first magnetic pieces are equidistantly disposed on the bottom wall of the connecting strip; the multiple second magnetic pieces are respectively connected to their corresponding first magnetic pieces; the fixing strips are respectively connected to the multiple second magnetic pieces; the multiple fixing plates are symmetrically disposed on the two side walls of the connecting strip; and the multiple fixing plates are respectively provided with openings.

[0011] Specifically, a protective cover is installed on the inner wall of the light strip.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: By replacing both ends of the light strip with cylindrical connectors, and precisely engaging the cylindrical connectors of two or more light strips, a threaded ring is used for fixation, ensuring a tight fit at the connection point. Even if the light strip is subjected to significant tensile or torsional forces during wiring, it effectively prevents the connectors from loosening or shifting. This improvement not only ensures the stability of the light strip's illumination but also avoids short-circuit faults caused by loose connectors, significantly reducing the risk of light strip damage.

[0013] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an extended-use LED light strip according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an extended LED light strip according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: light strip 1 and connecting mechanism 4.

[0023] The connecting mechanism 4 includes a male connector 41, a female connector 42, a baffle 43, and a connecting ring 44.

[0024] The male connector 41 is located at one end of the light strip 1, the female connector 42 is located at the other end of the light strip 1, the baffle 43 is located outside the male connector 41, and the connecting ring 44 is fitted around the male connector 41.

[0025] Protective components 5 are provided at both ends of the light strip 1.

[0026] The protective component 5 includes a connecting shell 51, a protective shell 52, and two sliders 54. The connecting shell 51 is located at one end of the light strip 1, and the protective shell 52 is located at the other end of the light strip 1. The inner walls of the protective shell 52 are respectively provided with grooves 53 on both sides, and the two sliders 54 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer walls of the connecting shell 51.

[0027] Specifically, when two or more LED light strips need to be spliced ​​together for extended use, the user can slide the slider 54 on the outer wall of the connecting shell 51 of one light strip 1 along the groove 53 on the inner wall of the protective shell 52 of the other light strip 1. As the slider 54 slides along the inner wall of the groove 53, the connecting shell 51 slides along the inner wall of the protective shell 52. When the connecting shell 51 is fully pushed into the protective shell 52, the male end 41 and the female end 42 of the connector will be fully engaged. At this point, the user can rotate the connecting ring 44 to thread it onto the female end 42. The baffle 43 ensures that the connecting ring 44 remains integrated with the male end 41 without affecting its normal rotation outside the male end 41. This fixes the two LED light strips together, and the connecting shell 51 and the protective shell 52 can hide the male end 41 and the female end 42 of the connector, providing both protection and aesthetic appeal.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, LED bulbs 2 are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the light strip 1.

[0029] It is understandable that the LED bulbs 2, which are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the light strip 1, provide a light source for the light strip 1.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the light strip 1 is provided with a mounting component 6.

[0031] The mounting assembly 6 includes a connecting strip 61, a plurality of first magnetic pieces 62, a fixing strip 63, a plurality of second magnetic pieces 64, and a plurality of fixing plates 65. The connecting strip 61 is disposed on the bottom wall of the light strip 1. The plurality of first magnetic pieces 62 are disposed at equal intervals on the bottom wall of the connecting strip 61. The plurality of second magnetic pieces 64 are respectively connected to the corresponding first magnetic pieces 62. The fixing strip 63 is respectively connected to the plurality of second magnetic pieces 64. The plurality of fixing plates 65 are symmetrically disposed on the two side walls of the connecting strip 61, and each of the plurality of fixing plates 65 has an opening 66.

[0032] Specifically, when it is necessary to fix the light strip 1 in a specific position, directly installing the light strip 1 on the wall or the ground may not be possible due to dust on the wall or the ground, while fixing it with bolts is inconvenient for maintenance and repair.

[0033] Therefore, the staff can first use bolts to pass through the openings 66 on the fixing plate 65 to fix the fixing strip 63 in the position to be installed. Then, the light strip 1 is magnetically attracted to the second magnetic piece 64 on the fixing strip 63 by the first magnetic piece 62 set on the bottom connecting strip 61, thereby connecting the light strip 1 to the fixing strip 63. In this way, the light strip 1 can be quickly removed during the replacement or maintenance process.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, a protective cover 3 is installed on the inner wall of the light strip 1.

[0035] It is understandable that the protective cover 3 installed on the inner wall of the light strip 1 can protect the LED bulbs 2 on the inner wall of the light strip 1.

[0036] In summary, a design can be adopted by replacing both ends of the LED strip with cylindrical connectors. Once the cylindrical connectors of two or more LED strips precisely engage, they are secured using threaded rings, ensuring a tight fit at the joint. Even if the LED strip is subjected to significant tensile or torsional forces during wiring, this effectively prevents the connectors from loosening or shifting. This improvement not only ensures the stability of the LED strip's illumination but also avoids short-circuit faults caused by loose connectors, significantly reducing the risk of LED strip damage.
