Abstract
Description
A type of three-wire dual-control light string Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light string design, specifically to a three-wire dual-control light string. Background Technology
[0002] In everyday outdoor decoration and lighting scenarios, traditional outdoor string lights are widely used in festivals, garden decorations, and commercial store exteriors due to their ease of installation and low cost. These string lights generally employ a dual-wire structure design. One of their core components, the lamp holder, has two copper plugs, each precisely corresponding to one of the two wires. One wire acts as the live wire, responsible for transmitting current, while the other is the neutral wire, forming a complete current loop to power the bulbs in the string. Due to its circuit design, this type of lamp holder can only achieve single-wire control. In actual use, all bulbs can only operate synchronously, either flashing together or turning off together, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

The several first lamp holders and several second lamp holders are connected in parallel through the three-parallel wire, which is a first wire, a second wire and a third wire, respectively.
[0006] Both the first lamp holder and the second lamp holder include a lamp head, a lamp cover, and a conductive copper terminal. The lamp head is snapped onto the lamp cover, and three wires are snapped between the lamp head and the lamp cover. The conductive copper terminal is connected to the second wire.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0040] Referring to Figures 1-17, this utility model provides a three-wire dual-control light string, including several first lamp holders 1, several second lamp holders 2, and a three-parallel wire. The several first lamp holders 1 and several second lamp holders 2 are connected in parallel by the three-parallel wire, which consists of a first wire 3, a second wire 4, and a third wire 5. The several first lamp holders 1 and several second lamp holders 2 can be arranged alternately or in any combination.
[0041] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, both the first lamp holder 1 and the second lamp holder 2 include a lamp head 104, a lamp cover 103, and a conductive copper terminal 101. The lamp head 104 is snapped into the lamp cover 103, and three wires are snapped between the lamp head 104 and the lamp cover 103. The conductive copper terminal 101 is connected to the second wire 4. The lamp head 104 of the first lamp holder 1 is provided with a first conductive sheet 102, on which a first tip 102A is formed. The first tip 102A is connected to the first wire 3 and has a triangular tip structure that penetrates into the first wire 3 to conduct electricity. The lamp head 104 of the second lamp holder 2 is provided with a second conductive sheet 201, on which a second tip 201A is formed. The second tip 201A is connected to the third wire 5 and has a triangular tip structure that penetrates into the third wire 5 to conduct electricity. The difference between the first conductive sheet 102 and the second conductive sheet 201 is that the first tip 102A and the second tip 201A are located at different positions on the top of the conductive body, respectively on the left and right sides of the top of the conductive body, and the second wire 4 is a common end wire.
[0042] Through the above scheme, the first wire 3 and the second wire 4 form a first loop control, and the second wire 4 and the third wire 5 form a second loop control. That is, the first wire 3 and the second wire 4 form a first loop control for external controller to control the flashing of several first lamp holders 1, and the second wire 4 and the third wire 5 form a second loop control for external controller to control the flashing of several second lamp holders 2. This can realize three-wire dual-control light string, and achieve dual-loop control after connecting an external controller.

After the lamp head 104 is engaged with the lamp cover 103, it forms a through hole for holding three parallel wires, which can fix the three parallel wires.
[0044] Referring to Figures 5-9, in some embodiments, to facilitate the connection between the lamp cover 103 and the lamp holder 104, a connecting buckle 103C is formed on the lower part of the lamp cover 103, and a connecting hole 104B corresponding to the lamp cover 103 is provided on the lamp holder 104. The connecting buckle 103C engages with the connecting hole 104B to assemble the lamp holder 104 and the lamp cover 103 into one unit. A hook 103A is provided on the side of the lamp cover 103 to facilitate installation and removal.
[0045] Referring to Figures 9-13, in some embodiments, the upper part of the lamp holder 104 is provided with an insulating partition 104C, the middle of the insulating partition 104C is provided with a first snap-fit groove 104D, and the side of the insulating partition 104C is provided with a second snap-fit groove 104E; the conductive copper terminal 101 snaps into the first snap-fit groove 104D and is embedded in the inner top of the insulating partition 104C; the first conductive piece 102 or the second conductive piece 201 is embedded in the second snap-fit groove 104E and extends to the inner side of the lamp holder 104, the portion of the conductive copper terminal 101 embedded below the insulating partition 104C contacts the top of the lamp holder for conductivity, and the portion of the first conductive piece 102 or the second conductive piece 201 embedded in the second snap-fit groove 104E and extending to the inner side of the lamp holder 104 contacts the side of the lamp holder for conductivity.
[0046] To facilitate conductivity, in some embodiments, the main body of the conductive copper terminal 101 is "L"-shaped, and the conductive tip 101A is formed above the main body. After the conductive copper terminal 101 is engaged with the first snap-fit groove 104D, the conductive tip 101A is located above the partition and penetrates into the second wire 4 to conduct electricity.
[0047] Referring to Figure 2, in some embodiments, the conductive bodies of the first conductive sheet 102 and the second conductive sheet 201 are micro-arc shaped. The first tip 102A formed on the first conductive sheet 102 and the second tip 201A formed on the second conductive sheet 201 are respectively formed on the upper left and right sides of the corresponding conductive bodies, so that the first tip 102A inserts into the first wire 3 to conduct electricity, and the second tip 201A inserts into the third wire 5 to conduct electricity.
[0048] In some embodiments, the upper side of the conductive body is provided with multiple contact protrusions 102B, which can make the conductivity between the body and the bulb more stable. The inner side of the lamp holder 104 is provided with threads for connecting to the bulb, facilitating threaded connection with the bulb.
