Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to an LED light strip connector. Background Technology

[0002] LED light strips have advantages such as high brightness, long lifespan, energy saving and environmental protection, and have been widely used in the decorative lighting market, such as for signs, lettering advertisements, building outlines, indoor ceiling lighting, and car interior decoration.

[0003] Currently, LED light strips on the market are sold in long rolls, but in many daily uses, they need to be installed according to actual dimensions, requiring cutting and splicing. LED light strips consist of a flexible PCB board with LED chips evenly arranged on it. Cutting positions are set at certain intervals, with positive and negative leads at these positions. During cutting, the strip is cut along these positions. Existing technology offers the following two splicing methods:

[0004] 1. The wiring method used for connection is unsightly, the light emission is intermittent, and there are safety issues.

[0005] 2. The connector is used for connection. The connector is a one-time use connector. If a problem occurs, it can only be cut off from the light strip and then discarded, resulting in waste of both the light strip and the connector. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this patent application is how to provide an LED strip connector with reasonable structural design, safe use, convenient installation, low operation difficulty, and good connection stability.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An LED light strip connector is installed at the end of an LED light strip. The connector body includes a base and two symmetrically arranged upper covers, with a slot for inserting an LED light strip formed between the base and the two upper covers.

[0009] The base is U-shaped and has a partition block in the middle. The partition block has two spaced mounting slots, and conductive copper sheets are fixedly installed in each mounting slot. The two ends of the conductive copper sheets extend to both sides of the partition block. The two sides of the top cover bend downward to form side plates, which are located on the outside of the base. The side plates have horizontal grooves, and the outer side of the base has a horizontal rail that can slide with the horizontal grooves. A positioning structure is also provided between the side plates and the base. The top cover has two pressing blocks installed downward to press the conductive copper sheets.

[0010] In this way, the LED strip is cut along the cutting line, and the ends of the LED strip have positive and negative leads. When connecting the two LED strip sections through the connector, the ends of the LED strip are inserted into the slots, and the clamping blocks press the conductive copper sheets together, so that the two conductive copper sheets are connected to the positive and negative leads respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning structure includes a locking plate fixedly connected to the side plate, the locking plate having a locking groove at one end away from the side plate, and a locking block fixedly installed on the base that can engage with the locking groove.

[0012] Preferably, the cross-section of the card block is triangular.

[0013] Preferably, the pressure block is provided with a pressing slope.

[0014] Preferably, the conductive copper sheet is fixedly connected to the partition block by screws.

[0015] Preferably, the conductive copper sheet and the partition block are connected by adhesive.

[0016] In summary, this LED strip connector has the advantages of reasonable structural design, safe use, convenient installation, low operation difficulty, and stable connection. Attached Figure Description

In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, an LED light strip connector is installed at the end of an LED light strip 1, including a connector body 2. The connector body includes a base 3 and two symmetrically arranged upper covers 4, and a slot for inserting an LED light strip is formed between the base and the two upper covers.

[0023] The base is U-shaped and has a partition block 5 in the middle. Two spaced mounting slots are provided on the partition block, and conductive copper sheets 6 are fixedly installed in each mounting slot. The two ends of the conductive copper sheets extend to both sides of the partition block. The two sides of the top cover bend downward to form side plates 7. The side plates are located on the outside of the base and have horizontal grooves 8. A horizontal rail 9 protrudes from the outside of the base and can slide with the horizontal groove. A positioning structure is also provided between the side plates and the base. Two pressure blocks 10 for pressing the conductive copper sheets are installed downward on the top cover.

[0024] In this way, the LED strip is cut along the cutting line, and the end of the LED strip has a positive pin 11 and a negative pin 12. When connecting the two LED strip sections through the connector, the end of the LED strip is inserted into the slot, and the pressure block presses the conductive copper sheet, so that the two conductive copper sheets are connected to the positive pin and the negative pin respectively.

[0025] In practice, insert the ends of the two LED strips into the sides of the base and make the ends of the LED strips abut against the partition block. At this time, the positive and negative pins of the LED strip ends are located below the two conductive copper sheets. Then install the top cover by sliding it in from one side. The side plate slides with the horizontal rail through the horizontal groove. Continue to push the top cover to move. The positioning structure connects the top cover to the base and presses it on the top of the conductive copper sheets with the pressure block, making the connection between the conductive copper sheets and the positive and negative pins more stable.

[0026] The two top covers are symmetrically arranged and are slid in from both sides of the base for easy connection.

[0027] In specific implementation, the positioning structure includes a locking plate 13 fixedly connected to the side plate. A locking groove 4 is formed at the end of the locking plate away from the side plate. A locking block 15, capable of engaging with the locking groove, is fixedly installed on the base. When the top cover slides along the base, the locking block engages with the locking groove, completing the positioning process and preventing the top cover from detaching from the base. When disassembly is required, since the top cover is integrally formed from plastic material (i.e., the top cover, side plate, pressure block, and locking plate are all integrally formed), the two locking plates are pried outwards, the locking block disengages from the locking groove, and then the top cover can be removed.

[0028] In practice, the cross-section of the locking block is triangular. The inclined surface of the locking block faces the side of the base where the horizontal rail is located, which facilitates the sliding of the locking plate and the engagement of the locking block with the locking slot.

[0029] In practice, the pressure block is equipped with a clamping ramp. During assembly, the upper cover slides along the base, and the clamping ramp gradually presses against the conductive copper sheet, facilitating use.

[0030] In practice, the conductive copper sheet is fixedly connected to the partition block by screws. This ensures high connection stability.

[0031] In practice, the conductive copper sheet is connected to the partition block with adhesive, facilitating assembly.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
