Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stage lighting technology, and more specifically, to a lighting fixture with an easy-to-maintain circuit board. Background Technology

[0002] As precision instruments used in performance services, lighting fixtures contain multiple circuit modules. Each module includes multiple components, and each component needs to be equipped with a power supply line for power supply and a signal line for data transmission. All signal lines are connected to their respective data processors. For ease of management, multiple data processors are often integrated into a single circuit board.

[0003] As can be seen from the above, a circuit board has multiple ports. During routine maintenance of the circuit board, the most common failure is in the data circuit board that processes data. If the circuit board needs to be repaired or replaced, the circuits need to be unplugged from the ports before maintenance. After maintenance, multiple circuits need to be plugged back into the ports. Due to the large number of circuits, there are often cases of plugging into the wrong ports, resulting in rework. The process is complicated and has a high error rate. Moreover, due to the limited internal space of the lamp, the circuit board is often confined to a very narrow gap. If the circuits need to be repeatedly plugged and unplugged when removing or installing them, it will greatly increase the working time and difficulty for maintenance personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a lamp with an easy-to-maintain circuit board. When maintaining the circuit board of the data processor, it eliminates the tedious steps of unplugging and reinstalling multiple external connection signals one by one, and avoids errors and rework caused by plugging in the wrong port, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the circuit board.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a lamp with an easy-to-maintain circuit board, including multiple functional components, and a plurality of first independent connectors and a first integrated connector connected to the plurality of first independent connectors are provided on the adapter circuit board corresponding to the plurality of functional components. The lamp also includes a data processing circuit board that transmits data and power with the adapter circuit board. The data processing circuit board is provided with multiple functional circuits and a second integrated connector connected to the plurality of functional circuits corresponding to the plurality of functional components. The data processing circuit board is connected to the functional components through the second integrated connector and the first integrated connector.

[0006] The signal data from multiple functional components are transmitted and converged to the adapter circuit board via multiple independent first connectors. The adapter circuit board then transmits the data and finally aggregates it into the first integrated connector, thus collecting the signal data from each functional component. When processing the collected data is required, the first integrated connector and the second integrated connector are connected to exchange and transmit the aggregated data. This allows the multiple signal data to be transmitted to a data processing circuit board with multiple functional circuits for processing. Each functional circuit performs branch processing and then transmits the processed signal data back to the adapter circuit board via the second integrated connector and the first integrated connector, and then feeds it back to each functional component, thereby controlling and adjusting each functional component. In this complete data transmission loop, there is no direct connection between the data processing circuit board and the multiple functional components. Data communication between the data processing circuit board and the adapter circuit board is achieved simply by plugging and unplugging the second integrated connector and the first integrated connector. This greatly facilitates the daily maintenance of the data processing circuit board, avoiding mis-plugging or excessive plugging and unplugging of wires during maintenance. Even in extremely narrow spaces, it allows for easy and quick disassembly or reinstallation.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes power lines and data lines for data transmission with the adapter circuit board. The data processing circuit board is connected to the functional element, the power lines, and the data lines via a second integrated connector and a first integrated connector. The power lines and data lines can be used to receive external control signals and power, send the control signals and power to the adapter circuit board for transition, the adapter circuit board then sends them to the data processing circuit board, the data processing circuit board processes them, and then sends them back to the adapter circuit board for transition. Finally, the adapter circuit board feeds back to the functional element via the data lines and power lines.

[0008] Furthermore, the functional element is connected to a second independent connector via a cable, and the functional element establishes a connection with the adapter circuit board through the second independent connector and the first independent connector. The second independent connector carries the data information of the functional element, and its connection with the first independent connector on the adapter board ensures accurate data transmission while facilitating the connection process.

[0009] Furthermore, the data processing circuit board and the adapter circuit board are inserted and removed in a direction parallel to the board surface. This insertion and removal direction saves vertical space, maintains sufficient mating length and electrical performance, and avoids damage to the board surface due to excessive insertion and removal force.

[0010] Furthermore, the first integrated connector and the second integrated connector are respectively located at the ends of the adapter circuit board and the data processing circuit board. This facilitates the assembly and connection of the adapter circuit board and the data processing circuit board, saving vertical space.

[0011] Furthermore, the first integrated connector and the second integrated connector are pin header and socket connectors. The pins and sockets can form a high-density data connection group and are easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a mounting plate, on which the adapter circuit board is fixed. The data processing circuit board is guided by a guide to achieve the insertion of the first integrated connector and the second integrated connector. This guides the first and second integrated connectors to move along a specific trajectory, avoiding misalignment or difficulty in insertion.

[0013] Furthermore, the guide member has an inclined guide opening at the end furthest from the adapter circuit board. This guide opening connects to a guide groove near the adapter circuit board. The data processing circuit board engages with the guide opening and slides into the guide groove. The guide groove allows the data processing circuit board to slide, resulting in a simple structure with minimal error.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a lamp head that emits a light beam and a support frame pivotally connected to the lamp head. The lamp head is pivotally connected to the support frame via a support side plate, and the mounting plate is considered as the support side plate. The support side plate is closest to each functional component, and the support side plate itself has high strength, which facilitates stable installation.

[0015] Furthermore, the functional component is at least one of a motor, a fan, a sensor, and a light source. The motor is used for transmission, the fan for heat dissipation, the sensor for data detection, and the light source for emitting a light beam; all of these components can transmit data signals to the adapter circuit board.
