[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting equipment technology, and in particular to a cuttable light strip structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the lighting field, LED strips are widely used in interior and exterior decoration, advertising signage, and home lighting due to their advantages such as easy installation and good lighting effect. Currently, most LED strips on the market are of fixed length. In actual use, when the required strip length does not match the existing standard length, it often cannot be used directly. Although some LED strips have a certain cutting capability, after cutting, problems such as exposed wiring and short circuits are prone to occur at the cut ends, leading to strip damage and affecting service life. Furthermore, when cutting strips are connected to other components, the connection structure is unstable, easily resulting in loosening and poor contact, reducing the reliability and safety of the strip. Therefore, we propose a cutable LED strip structure. Utility Model Content

[0025] Multiple sets of cutting marking lines 4 are equidistantly arranged on both the flexible circuit board 1 and the insulating protective sleeve 3. The cutting marking lines 4 make it easy for the operator to quickly and accurately find the cutting position. Multiple sets of cutting micro-holes 5 are opened on the flexible circuit board 1 and the insulating protective sleeve 3 at the positions corresponding to the cutting marking lines 4. The multiple sets of cutting micro-holes 5 are evenly opened along the length direction of the cutting marking lines 4 and penetrate through the flexible circuit board 1. The cutting micro-holes 5 enable the operator to easily cut the light strip to the required length, improving the flexibility of the light strip.

[0026] A protective component 6 is provided on the flexible circuit board 1 at the location of the micro-hole 5. The protective component 6 includes an insulating edge 61. The mounting end of the insulating edge 61 is installed corresponding to the side of the flexible circuit board 1 at the micro-hole 5.

The setting of the insulating edge 61 can effectively prevent the lines from being exposed, avoid short circuits, and improve the safety of the light strip. A metal reinforcing ring 62 is provided on the outer ring of one end of the insulating edge 61. The inner ring of the metal reinforcing ring 62 is installed corresponding to the outer ring of the insulating edge 61 at the end near the micro-hole 5.

The setting of the metal reinforcing ring 62 can enhance the structural strength of the flexible circuit board 1 at the cut end, prevent damage or breakage at the cut end, and extend the service life of the light strip.

[0027] The flexible circuit board 1 has a male connector 7 and a female connector 8 at both ends. The male connector 7 includes a plug 71 located at one end of the flexible circuit board 1.

When the male connector 7 and the female connector 8 are in the pin position, the conductive pins 72 are installed in corresponding positions with the conductive sockets 82. The design of the male connector 7 and the female connector 8 can reduce the occurrence of poor contact problems, ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the light strips, and enable the light strips to work stably.

[0028] In this embodiment, the operator first assembles multiple sets of light-emitting elements 2 one by one at equal intervals on the flexible circuit board 1. Then, the operator sets multiple sets of cutting mark lines 4 at equal intervals on the flexible circuit board 1 and the insulating protective sleeve 3. Then, cutting micro-holes 5 are opened at the positions of the cutting mark lines 4. At the same time, the insulating sealing edge 61 is fixedly assembled on the flexible circuit board 1 at the positions of the cutting micro-holes 5. Then, a metal reinforcing ring 62 is fixedly installed on the outer ring of one end of the insulating sealing edge 61. Then, the insulating protective sleeve 3 with positioning grooves is wrapped around the outside of the flexible circuit board 1. At this time, the positioning grooves correspond to each set of light-emitting elements 2. Then, the operator installs the male connector 7 and the female connector 8 at the two ends of the flexible circuit board 1 respectively.

[0029] When the operator needs to adjust the length of the light strip, the operator cuts it at the cutting mark line 4 corresponding to the required length position, and then the operator installs the male connector 7 or the female connector 8 on the cut end to complete the adjustment of the light strip length.
