Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting equipment technology, and in particular to a chain lamp corner structure. Background Technology

[0002] Chain lights, as an efficient and flexible linear lighting solution, are increasingly widely used in commercial displays, interior decoration, and atmosphere creation. Their typical structure usually includes a long, strip-shaped light-emitting component (containing an LED light source and optical elements), a power input component for connecting to an external power source, and terminal connectors for expansion and connection. Users or designers can easily cut the long, strip-shaped light-emitting component according to on-site installation requirements and use the terminal connectors to connect and string multiple segments together, while simultaneously achieving a reliable electrical connection with the power input component, thus forming a continuous light strip of the required length. However, after the above-mentioned connection and assembly, existing chain lights present a fixed, rigid or semi-rigid state. Their core supporting structure—the guide rail base of the light-emitting component—is itself not movable; the segments can only maintain a fixed straight line or a preset angle connection. This means that once installed, the overall shape (such as curvature and bending) and lighting direction of the chain light are locked. While some designs allow for fine-tuning of the local beam direction by adjusting the light-emitting devices (such as rotatable lamp heads) connected to the guide rail substrate, the overall substrate orientation and angular relationships of the light-emitting components cannot be dynamically adjusted. This structural limitation significantly restricts the application potential and flexibility of chain lights in scenarios requiring complex shapes, dynamically changing lighting angles, or multi-directional lighting, making it difficult to meet the increasingly diverse lighting design needs. Improvements are urgently needed to enhance their adaptability and functionality. Utility Model Content

[0029] Example

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The present invention proposes a chain lamp corner structure, comprising: a corner connecting component 10, a connecting assembly 30, and a light-emitting component 20;

[0031] The corner connection component 10 includes a corner base 11; the connection assembly 30 includes a detachable first connection seat 31 and a second connection seat 32; the first connection seat 31 is rotatably mounted on the corner base 11; the second connection seat 32 is electrically connected to the first connection seat 32; the second connection seat 32 is provided with an electrode connecting piece 321; the end of the light-emitting component 20 can be inserted into the second connection seat 32 and is electrically connected to the electrode connecting piece 321; the connection assembly 30 is provided with at least two, and the first connection seats 31 of the connection assemblies 30 are electrically connected within the corner connection component 10.

[0032] In this invention, the rotatable first connector 31 in the corner connector component 10 allows the light-emitting component 20 connected to it to rotate along the hinge rotation direction. This frees the light-emitting component 20 from being limited to a fixed straight line or preset angle splicing, allowing it to adjust its relative angle in real time according to lighting needs, achieving three-dimensional spatial shape adjustment and significantly improving the spatial adaptability and artistic expression of the chain light. The first connector 31 and the second connector 32 adopt a detachable plug-in + internal electrical connection structure to ensure uninterrupted power and signal transmission during the rotation of the light-emitting component 20. The plug-in design of the electrode connecting piece 321 and the end of the light-emitting component 20 provides a mechanical connection while establishing a highly reliable electrical contact, avoiding circuit disconnection or poor contact problems caused by angle adjustment. The modular design of the corner base 11 and the standardized connector component 30 allows users to flexibly add or remove corner nodes according to the actual layout. The light-emitting component 20 can be quickly installed or removed through plug-in, without additional wiring operations, greatly reducing on-site installation complexity and maintenance costs.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first connecting seat 31 is provided with a hinge joint 311, and the corner base 11 is provided with a hinge seat 111; the hinge joint 311 is hingedly mounted on the hinge seat 111. The cooperative design of the hinge joint 311 and the hinge seat 111 constrains the rotation on a single mechanical axis, eliminates the risk of multi-degree-of-freedom swaying, and ensures that the light-emitting component 20 is accurately positioned and without offset when the angle is adjusted.

[0034] Specifically, the hinge joint 311 is provided with a hinge hole 312, and the hinge seat 111 is provided with a hinge shaft 112, which extends into the hinge hole 312. The sleeve structure between the hinge shaft 112 and the hinge hole 312 transmits torque through surface contact, reduces rotational resistance, avoids mechanical wear caused by frequent adjustments, and extends service life.

[0035] Furthermore, the corner base 11 is a split structure that can be assembled from two parts; there are two hinge shafts 112, which can be inserted into the hinge holes 312 from both sides respectively. The split corner base 11, with its double-sided hinge shafts 112, allows the hinge joints 311 to be directly inserted laterally from both sides, improving assembly efficiency and enabling quick assembly and maintenance.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first connector 31 is a split structure that is relatively assembled; hinge holes 312 are respectively provided on both sides of the hinge joint 311; two hinge shafts 112 can extend into the two hinge holes 312 from both sides respectively. The split design of the first connector 31 and the double hinge holes 312 allows the double hinge shafts 112 to bear force synchronously, disperse the rotational load, prevent unilateral deformation, and improve the structural stability when cantilevered at a large angle; it also facilitates the routing of the power lines inside the connector assembly 30.

[0037] Specifically, the hinge joint 311 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a power cable routing channel inside. The integrated power cable channel inside the cylindrical hinge joint 311 completely hides the cable inside the rotating structure, preventing exposed cables from getting tangled or crushed during rotation, while maintaining a neat appearance.

[0038] In this embodiment, the outer edge of the hinge joint 311 is provided with a plurality of ratchet structures 313; the corner base 11 is provided with an elastic latch 113; the elastic latch 113 can engage the ratchet structures 313 to restrict the rotation of the hinge joint 311. The cooperation between the ratchet structures 313 and the elastic latch 113 provides a locking function for different angle settings (e.g., 15° increments). The user can hear a "click" sound to confirm the positioning, and the elastic latch 113 automatically prevents rotation and rebound, ensuring a stable lighting direction.

[0039] Specifically, the elastic buckle 113 is provided with an arc-shaped elastic deformation portion 114. The arc-shaped elastic deformation portion 114 absorbs stress through uniform deformation, avoiding metal fatigue fracture caused by repeated locking and unlocking.

[0040] In this embodiment, the corner base is provided with a corner shell wall, and the hinge seat is disposed inside the corner shell wall; the corner shell wall has a movable groove for the hinge joint to extend into and rotate. The movable groove provides rotational clearance space for the hinge joint, and the corner shell wall also acts as a physical limiter to prevent excessive rotation from pulling on the internal cables and to protect the circuit safety.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first connector is provided with a cylindrical first connector terminal, and the second connector is provided with a cylindrical second connector terminal; the first connector terminal and the second connector terminal are rotatably connected and electrically connected through an annular electrode sheet and / or an electrode rod; the second connector can rotate relative to the first connector. The cylindrical connector terminal, in conjunction with the annular electrode sheet / electrode rod, allows the second connector to rotate 360° around its own axis. After the hinged rotation is superimposed, the rotational movement of the light-emitting component on the two axes can be adjusted.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to protect the connecting components and make the connection components and light-emitting components more seamlessly connected, decorative sleeves are provided on the outer covers of the first and second connecting seats.

[0043] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
