Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical engineering, and in particular relates to an Internet of Things (IoT) lighting control device. Background Technology

[0002] To achieve timed on / off switching and brightness adjustment, LED lights typically have a driver installed inside the electrical cavity to control the light source module. The driver connects to external components such as the light source module via wiring. However, different countries have different requirements for the wiring materials used in these connections, and existing wiring, such as the output and input lines of the driver's internal power supply, is fixed on the power board. To meet the different requirements for wiring materials and lengths, there are hundreds of different types of drivers, making inventory and management extremely difficult.

[0003] By creating two cavities on the driver—one for housing the power board and other components, and the other for housing the terminal blocks—output and input lines can be connected to the terminal blocks without being fixed to the power board. This allows for the replacement of terminal blocks to accommodate different wiring configurations, thus solving the problems of numerous driver types and the difficulty of stocking and managing them. However, with this setup, the terminal blocks need to be electrically connected to the power board. Using connecting wires for wiring within the small size of the driver is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, a new connection method is urgently needed to solve the technical problem of difficult internal wiring. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical objective of this invention is to provide an Internet of Things (IoT) lighting control device to solve the technical problem of difficult internal wiring.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An Internet of Things (IoT) lighting control device includes:

[0007] The outer casing has a power supply cavity and a wiring cavity inside. A first partition is provided between the power supply cavity and the wiring cavity. A through hole is provided on the first partition to connect the power supply cavity and the wiring cavity.

[0008] The power supply compartment contains a power board, and the wiring compartment contains a power sub-board and wiring terminals. The wiring terminals are mounted on the power sub-board and are detachably connected to input and output lines for connecting other external components.

[0009] The connector assembly includes a male connector and a female connector. The male connector is mounted on the power supply board, and the female connector is mounted on the power supply board. The male connector and the female connector are mated and plugged into each other to achieve assembly and fixation. The connector is fixed inside the housing and passes through the through hole.

[0010] The height of the through hole is less than the height of the terminal block, and the height of the through hole is greater than the height of the male connector and the female connector.

[0011] More preferably, the top of the wiring cavity is provided with an opening for inserting the wiring terminal, and a removable top cover is provided at the opening. The top cover is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the wiring cavity and is configured to protect the wiring terminal inside the wiring cavity.

[0012] More preferably, the top cover has a through-hole for applying adhesive. When the top cover is installed in the opening, adhesive is injected into the wiring cavity through the adhesive hole to achieve a waterproof seal.

[0013] More preferably, the inner wall of the wiring cavity is provided with a number of slots, and the periphery of the top cover is provided with a number of downward protrusions. The protrusions can be inserted into the corresponding slots and are interference-fitted with the slot wall.

[0014] More preferably, the bottom of the protrusion is provided with a groove.

[0015] More preferably, the top cover is provided with at least one second partition. When the top cover is installed in the opening, the second partition divides the interior of the wiring cavity into multiple cavities and is configured to sequentially separate adjacent wiring terminals. The wiring terminals in different cavities are respectively connected to different input lines and output lines.

[0016] Because of the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art:

[0017] This invention features a wiring cavity on the side of the power supply compartment with built-in terminals, eliminating the need for the input and output cables to be directly fixed to the power board inside the compartment. The input and output cables can be disassembled and replaced as needed, supporting replacement of any cable length and cables conforming to different national safety standards. Furthermore, by installing a male connector on the power daughterboard with terminals inside the wiring cavity and a female connector on the power board inside the compartment, the male and female connectors can be inserted and assembled through the aforementioned through holes. This structure eliminates the need for internal wiring, making installation extremely convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0018] The height of the through hole in this invention is less than the height of the terminal block, but greater than the height of the male and female connector heads. Glue can be poured in first until it covers the through hole without affecting the wiring of the terminal block. After the glue cures, more glue can be poured to fill the power supply cavity. Furthermore, because the through hole height is greater than the height of the male and female connector heads, it does not affect the insertion and assembly of the male and female connector heads.

[0019] The top cover is also equipped with a glue injection hole. After the top cover is fixed, glue can be injected through the glue injection hole to achieve waterproof sealing and prevent the problem of insufficient glue injection.

[0020] The present invention can be configured with multiple terminals, and the bottom of the top cover is provided with at least one second partition. When the top cover is closed on the opening, there is a second partition between two adjacent terminals, which separates the two terminals and makes the implementation safer.

[0030] The present invention provides a more detailed description of an Internet of Things (IoT) lighting control device in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description and claims.

[0031] Example

[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides an Internet of Things (IoT) lighting control device, the overall structure of which is a housing 1. Inside the housing 1, there are two mutually isolated cavities, namely a power supply cavity 11 and a wiring cavity 12. The power supply cavity 11 and the wiring cavity 12 are isolated by a first partition 13. The first partition 13 has a through hole 14 near the bottom surface of the inner side of the housing 1, so that the power supply cavity 11 and the wiring cavity 12 are spatially connected.

[0033] For a better option, see Figure 2 The power supply compartment 11 houses a power board 111, and the wiring compartment 12 houses a power sub-board 125 and a terminal block 121, with the terminal block 121 mounted on the power sub-board 125. The terminal block 121 is detachably connected to input lines 15 and output lines 16 for connecting other external components. These input lines 15 and output lines 16 can be power supply input lines and output lines, or they can be waterproof lines for connecting a communication module.

[0034] For a better option, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to enable the power board 111 and the power daughter board 125 to be electrically connected, this embodiment also provides a connector assembly, which includes a male connector 122 and a female connector 112. The male connector 122 is installed on the power daughter board 125, and the female connector 112 is installed on the power board 111. The male connector 122 and the female connector 112 are mated and plugged in to achieve assembly and fixation. The connector is fixed inside the housing 1 and passes through the through hole 14. After the connector is connected, the power board 111 and the power daughter board 125 are fixed inside the housing 1 by screws.

[0035] Because the power supply cavity 11 has a wiring cavity 12 on its side and a built-in terminal block 121, the power input line 15 and output line 16 do not need to be directly fixed to the power board 111 inside the power supply cavity 11. The input line 15 and output line 16 can be disassembled and replaced as needed, supporting replacement of any line length and supporting replacement of cables with different safety standards from different countries. Compared with placing the terminal block 121 inside the wiring cavity 12 and connecting it to the power board 111 through the through hole 14 with a connecting wire, this structure eliminates the internal wiring operation, making installation very convenient, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0036] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on the inner bottom surface of the outer shell 1, the height of the through hole 14 opening is less than the height of the terminal block 121, and the height of the through hole 14 opening is greater than the height of the male connector 122 and the female connector 112. To seal the power supply cavity 11, glue is applied inside. However, due to the presence of the through hole 14, the glue will overflow the terminal block 121, preventing the subsequent insertion of the input line 15 and the output line 16. Since the height of the through hole 14 opening is less than the height of the terminal block 121 in this embodiment, glue can be applied first until it overflows the through hole 14. This will not affect the wiring of the terminal block 121. After the glue cures, it can be applied to fill the power supply cavity 11. Furthermore, since the height of the through hole 14 is greater than the height of the male connector 122 and the female connector, it does not affect the insertion and assembly of the male connector 122 and the female connector.

[0037] For a better option, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the top of the wiring cavity 12 has an opening for inserting the terminal block 121 and plugging / unplugging the wire. A removable top cover 17 is provided at the opening, and the top cover 17 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the wiring cavity 12 to protect the terminal block 121 inside the wiring cavity 12. Specifically, a plurality of slots 123 are provided on the inner wall of the wiring cavity 12, and a plurality of downward protrusions 171 are provided on the periphery of the top cover 17. The protrusions 171 can be inserted into the corresponding slots 123 and are interference-fitted with the slot walls of the slots 123. To facilitate the insertion of the protrusions 171, a groove is provided at the bottom of the protrusions 171 to facilitate deformation. Preferably, the top cover 17 has a through-hole for applying adhesive 172. When the top cover 17 is installed in the opening, adhesive is injected into the wiring cavity 12 through the adhesive hole 172 to achieve a waterproof seal. Due to the design of the glue injection hole 172, this embodiment can achieve waterproof sealing by injecting glue into the upper cover 17 after it is fixed. If glue is applied first and then the upper cover 17 is put on, the glue will not be fully applied. By injecting glue, this embodiment can achieve a waterproof sealing rating of IP68.

[0038] Further preferably, see Figure 4 The bottom of the top cover 17 is provided with at least one second partition 124. When the top cover 17 is installed in the opening, the second partition 124 divides the interior of the wiring cavity 12 into multiple cavities, which are used to separate adjacent wiring terminals 121 in sequence. The wiring terminals 121 in different cavities are respectively connected to different input lines 15 and output lines 16.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
