[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0041] Example 1: A connector kit
[0042] This embodiment uses a snap-fit structure to quickly connect or detach the fence light 27, enabling the fence light 27 to be installed on the fence post 26. This embodiment includes at least one connecting seat, each connecting seat having an adapter cavity 5 that matches the shape of the fence post 26, and multiple first protrusions 6 spaced apart on the inner wall of the adapter cavity 5. For example... Figure 3 As shown, each first boss 6 extends from the bottom to the top of the adapter cavity 5, and the bottom of the first boss 6 is provided with a guide slope 7. When the connecting seat is installed on the fence post 26 in an interference fit manner, the adapter cavity 5 with the first boss 6 can reduce the contact area with the fence post 26, and with the guide slope 7 at the bottom, the installation is easier and less strenuous.
[0043] Furthermore, the connector has two opposing side walls with through holes 8. During installation, screws can be screwed into the through holes 8 as needed to further secure the connector to the fence post 26.
[0044] The aforementioned "snap-fit structure" is a snap-fit assembly disposed on the top surface of the connector, used to connect the fence light 27. The snap-fit assembly includes multiple regularly distributed snaps 9; in this embodiment, it includes four snaps 9 arranged in a square, such as... Figure 2 As shown, each clip 9 is a hook-shaped structure, and the hook has an arc-shaped protrusion 10. When the clip 9 is engaged in the slot 21 of the fence light 27, the arc-shaped protrusion 10 can improve the stability of the installation.
[0045] In the connector kit disclosed in this embodiment, the adapter cavity 5 of different connectors is matched with fence posts 26 of different shapes, but the specifications of the buckle components on different connectors are completely consistent (the shape, size, distance between buckles 9, and distribution pattern of buckles 9 are all the same). Since the buckle components with consistent specifications are used, only one matching slot group needs to be set on the fence light 27 to quickly connect with different connectors.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the connector kit may include at least one of the following four:
[0047] a. Connector 1, with an adapter cavity 5 that matches the shape of the 70*70mm fence post 26;
[0048] b. Connector 2, which has an adapter cavity 5 that matches the shape of the 60*40mm fence post 26;
[0049] c. Connector 3 has an adapter cavity 5 that matches the shape of the 40*40mm fence post 26;
[0050] d. Connector 4, with an adapter cavity 5 that matches the shape of the 60*60mm fence post 26.
[0051] In this embodiment, the connector kit includes connector 1, connector 2, connector 3, and connector 4. Except for the different sizes of the adapter cavity 5, the four connectors have the same structure as described above.
[0052] Example 2: A connector kit
[0053] This embodiment has a basically the same structure as Embodiment 1, the difference being that: the connecting seat 1 in this embodiment can match both 70*70mm fence posts 26 and 68*68mm fence posts 26. For example... Figure 4As shown, the connector 1 in this embodiment adds multiple locking posts 28 to the structure disclosed in embodiment 1. All locking posts 28 are located in the adapter cavity 5 of the connector 1, and each locking post 28 extends from the top to the bottom of the adapter cavity 5. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the locking post 28 is right-angled, and a second protrusion 29 is provided on the outer surface of the locking post 28 facing the inner wall of the adapter cavity 5. The second protrusion 29 is distributed along the length direction of the locking post 28, and its bottom is the same as that of the first protrusion 6, and it is also provided with a guide slope 7.
[0054] Furthermore, the shape formed by connecting the outer surfaces of all the locking posts 28 matches the inner cavity of the 68*68mm fence post 26. In this embodiment, the adapter cavity 5 of the connecting seat 1 has four locking posts 28, each corresponding to a corner of the adapter cavity 5.
[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, when assembling the connecting seat 1 with the 70*70mm fence post 26, the first boss 6 on the inner wall of the adapter cavity 5 of the connecting seat 1 contacts the outer surface of the 70*70mm fence post 26, forming an interference fit. Figure 6 As shown, when the connecting seat 1 is assembled with the 68*68mm fence post 26, the second protrusion 29 on the locking post 28 in the adapter cavity 5 of the connecting seat 1 contacts the inner wall of the inner cavity of the 68*68mm fence post 26, forming an interference fit.
[0056] Example 3: A fence lamp
[0057] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment includes a fence light body and a connector kit as described in Embodiment 1. A connector kit matching the shape of the target fence post 26 is selected from the connector kit and connected to the fence light body, allowing the fence light body to be mounted on the fence post 26 via the connector.
[0058] The fence light body includes a base 11, a reflector 12, a lampshade 13, a battery box 14, a lamp cover 15, a battery, an LED panel 16, and a solar panel 17. For example... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the reflector 12 is fixedly mounted on the base 11; the lampshade 13 is fixedly mounted on the base 11 and surrounds the reflector 12, and is a fully transparent or semi-transparent structure that can transmit light. In this embodiment, the lampshade 13 is a fully transparent structure made of glass; the battery box 14 is fixedly mounted above the lampshade 13, and the battery box 14, together with the lampshade 13 and the reflector 12, forms the light-emitting chamber of the fence lamp body, as shown. Figure 10As shown, the battery box 14 has an LED board mounting slot 18 and a battery mounting slot 19; the lamp cover 15 is fastened to the top of the battery box 14 to encapsulate components such as the LED board 16 and the battery; the battery is assembled in the battery mounting slot 19 of the battery box 14; the LED board 16 is assembled in the LED board mounting slot 18 of the battery box 14, with the LED beads of the LED board 16 facing the reflector 12 below; the solar panel 17 is fixed to the top surface of the lamp cover 15 and is electrically connected to the battery, and can be charged by solar energy during use.
[0059] Furthermore, the LED board 16 is electrically connected to the battery, and a push-button switch 20 is provided on the connection circuit. For example... Figure 11 As shown, the push-button switch 20 is fixed to the base 11 and extends outside the base 11 for easy operation. The push-button switch 20 is an existing structure, and typically includes a photosensitive switch circuit. When the push-button switch 20 is turned on, the photosensitive switch circuit activates the light, turning it on at night and off during the day.
[0060] The light emitted by the LED beads on the LED board 16 is reflected by the reflector 12 and then emitted from the lamp cover 13.
[0061] More specifically, the base 11 of the fence light 27 has a slot assembly on its bottom surface that matches the snap-fit assembly in the connector. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the slot assembly includes multiple regularly distributed slots 21, the slots 21 corresponding to the positions and numbers of the buckles 9 in the buckle assembly. This embodiment includes four slots 21 arranged in a square. Each slot 21 has an inlet section 22 and a locking section 23, as shown... Figure 9 As shown, the width of the inlet section 22 is greater than the width of the locking section 23, allowing the hook of the buckle 9 to extend into the inlet section 22 and lock at the locking section 23. In this embodiment, an arc-shaped limiting block 24 is provided at the inlet of the locking section 23, which makes it difficult for the hook of the buckle 9 to disengage from the locking section 23 of the slot 21.
[0062] In this embodiment, deformation holes 25 are provided on the bottom surface of the base 11 at the positions corresponding to each slot 21. The shape and specific position of the deformation holes 25 are as follows: Figure 9 As shown, when the buckle 9 is engaged, the deformation hole 25 can provide a certain deformation space for the slot 21, making the buckle 9 easier to install.
[0063] It should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
