Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting equipment technology, and in particular to a chain lamp that can be combined and transformed in multiple forms. 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

[0037] Example

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The present invention proposes a chain lamp that can be combined and transformed in multiple forms, comprising: a power input component 10, a corner connecting component 20, an extension connecting component 30, and a light-emitting component 40;

[0039] The power input component 10, the corner connector 20, and the extension connector 30 are provided with connector components 50 for electrically connecting adjacent components; the connector component 50 includes a first connector 51 and a second connector 52 that can be circumferentially rotatably inserted.

[0040] The corner connection component 20 includes a corner base 21; the corner base 21 is rotatably provided with at least two connection components 50; the first connection seat 51 of the connection component 50 provided on the corner base 21 is hinged and movable, and the second connection seat 52 is provided with an electrode connecting piece 521;

[0041] The power input component 10 is used to connect an external power cord; the extension connector 30 is used to connect the ends of two light-emitting components 40 along the axial direction; the corner connector 20 is used to connect the ends of two or more light-emitting components 40 at an angle.

[0042] The beneficial effects of this invention are that this design evolves the chain light from a "fixed linear light source" to a "modularly assembled light network with topological reconfigurability," demonstrating disruptive application potential in scenarios such as architectural lighting, immersive exhibitions, and new retail. Details are as follows:

[0043] 1. Full-range freedom of lighting substrate reconstruction: Through the multi-directional hinge design of the corner connector 20 and the circumferential rotation capability of the connector 50, the light-emitting component 40 can achieve two-axis adjustment in space: horizontal / vertical hinge rotation (through the corner base 21) and 360° circumferential rotation of the light-emitting component 40 (through the rotational insertion of the first / second connector 52), so as to adjust the angle of the lighting area.

[0044] 2. The modular system enables unlimited scene adaptation. The three core components (power input / corner connection / extension connection) can be arbitrarily combined through 50 standardized connection components: extension connection component 30 extends the straight lighting strip axially; corner connection component 20 constructs corner / branch lighting nodes; and power input component 10 flexibly deploys power supply points. Users can quickly build complex lighting networks like assembling "lighting building blocks," adapting to non-standard scenarios such as curved walls and art installations. This completely breaks the limitations of the rigid base of traditional chain lights, supporting real-time construction of various dynamic topologies.

[0045] 3. Revolutionary engineering friendliness, tool-free assembly: All connections adopt a plug-in structure, which improves installation speed and reduces maintenance costs: Individual component failures can be replaced independently, eliminating the need to scrap the entire lamp. Optimized wiring: The power input component 10 and the corner base 21 integrate cable channels, resulting in a high concealment rate.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first connecting seat 51 of the connecting assembly 50 provided on the corner base 21 is provided with a hinge joint 511, and the corner base 21 is provided with a hinge seat 211; the hinge joint 511 is hingedly installed on the hinge seat 211. The cooperation between the hinge joint 511 and the hinge seat 211 constrains the rotation on a single axis, avoids positioning deviation caused by multi-degree-of-freedom movement, and ensures that the lighting direction is accurate and controllable.

[0047] Specifically, the hinge joint 511 is provided with a hinge hole 512, and the hinge seat 211 is provided with a hinge shaft 212, which extends into the hinge hole 512. The sleeve structure between the hinge shaft 212 and the hinge hole 512 transmits torque through surface contact, reduces rotational resistance, avoids mechanical wear caused by frequent adjustments, and extends service life.

[0048] In this embodiment, the corner base 21 is a relatively assembled split structure; two hinge shafts 212 are provided; the first connector 51 is a relatively assembled split structure; hinge holes 512 are respectively provided on both sides of the hinge joint 511; the two hinge shafts 212 can extend into the two hinge holes 512 from both sides respectively; the hinge joint 511 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the interior of the hinge joint 511 is provided with a wiring channel for the power line. The split corner base 21, with its double-sided hinge shafts 212 design, allows the hinge joint 511 to be directly and laterally installed from both sides, improving assembly efficiency and enabling quick assembly and maintenance. The split first connector 51 and the double-sided hinge holes 512 design allow the double-sided hinge shafts 212 to bear force synchronously, distributing the rotational load, preventing unilateral deformation, and improving the structural stability when cantilevered at a large angle; it also facilitates the wiring arrangement of the power line inside the connector assembly 50.

[0049] Specifically, the hinge joint 511 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a power cable routing channel inside. The integrated power cable channel inside the cylindrical hinge joint 511 completely hides the cable inside the rotating structure, preventing exposed cables from getting tangled or crushed during rotation, while maintaining a neat appearance.

[0050] In this embodiment, the outer edge of the hinge joint 511 is provided with a plurality of ratchet structures 513; the corner base 21 is provided with an elastic latch 213; the elastic latch 213 can engage the ratchet structures 513 to restrict the rotation of the hinge joint 511; the elastic latch 213 is provided with an arc-shaped elastic deformation portion 214. The cooperation between the ratchet structure 513 and the elastic latch 213 provides a locking function for different angle settings (e.g., 15° increments), and the user can hear a "click" sound to confirm positioning. The elastic latch 213 automatically prevents rotational rebound, ensuring a stable lighting direction. The arc-shaped elastic deformation portion 214 absorbs stress through uniform deformation, avoiding metal fatigue fracture caused by repeated engagement and disengagement.

[0051] In this embodiment, the corner base 21 is provided with a corner shell wall 215, and the hinge seat 211 is disposed inside the corner shell wall 215; the corner shell wall 215 has a movable groove 216 for the hinge joint 511 to extend into and rotate. The movable groove 216 provides rotational clearance space for the hinge joint 511, and the corner shell wall 215 also acts as a physical limiter to prevent excessive rotation from pulling the internal cables and to protect the circuit safety.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first connecting seat 51 and the second connecting seat 52 of the connecting assembly 50 provided with the extended connecting member 30 are both cylindrical. The first connecting seat 51 and the second connecting seat 52 are inserted along the axis, and both the first connecting seat 51 and the second connecting seat 52 are provided with electrode connecting pieces 521 to electrically connect the two light-emitting components 40 at both ends of the axial direction. The double cylindrical connecting seat and the axial insertion structure realize seamless light band connection between the light-emitting components 40, and the electrode connecting pieces 521 at both ends ensure the uniformity of current across the components. At the same time, each light-emitting component 40 can also maintain circumferential rotation adjustment.

[0053] In this embodiment, the light-emitting component 40 includes a long, narrow guide tube shell 41, a conductive plate 42 disposed above the guide tube shell 41, and a light-emitting unit 43. A long, narrow opening slot is provided on one side of the guide tube shell 41 along its extending direction. The conductive plate 42 is disposed on the guide tube shell 41 and can be electrically plugged into and assembled with the connecting component 50. The light-emitting unit 43 is disposed on the guide tube shell 41 and electrically connected to the conductive plate 42. The plug-and-play power supply architecture allows for direct plug-in connection between the conductive plate 42 and the connecting component 50, eliminating the traditional wire welding step, reducing assembly failure rate, and making installation quick and convenient. It also allows for easy cutting of the overall length of the light-emitting component 40. The open optical platform, with its long, narrow opening slot, supports the configuration and installation of floodlights / grilles / track lights or other lighting modules.

[0054] In this embodiment, the light-emitting unit 43 includes one or more of a floodlight, a grille light, or a track light.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first connector 51 is provided with a cylindrical first connector terminal 514, and the second connector 52 is provided with a cylindrical second connector terminal 522. The first connector terminal 514 and the second connector terminal 522 can be rotatably connected in the circumferential direction and are electrically connected through an annular electrode sheet and / or an electrode rod. The second connector 52 can be rotatably connected to the first connector 51 in the circumferential direction. The cylindrical connector terminal, in conjunction with the annular electrode sheet / electrode rod, allows the second connector 52 to rotate 360° around its own axis. After the hinged rotation is superimposed, the rotational movement adjustment of the light-emitting component 40 on the two axes is realized.

[0056] Furthermore, to protect the connecting component 50 and make the connection component 50 and the light-emitting component 40 more seamlessly connected, the first connecting seat 51 and the second connecting seat 52 are covered with a reinforcing sleeve 53. The reinforcing sleeve 53 can make the connection at the end of the light-emitting component 40 more seamless and aesthetically pleasing, and at the same time can strengthen the joint of the longer light-emitting component 40 and reduce deformation such as bending.

[0057] 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.
