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] A power board is installed inside the power supply cavity. One side of the power board protrudes to form a wiring section. The wiring section passes through a through hole and is placed inside the wiring cavity. A wiring terminal is installed on the wiring section. The wiring terminal can be detachably connected to input and output lines for connecting other external components.

[0009] The height of the through hole is greater than the thickness of the power board plus the height of the wiring terminal.

[0010] The wiring cavity has fixing grooves on both sides near the through hole.

[0011] More preferably, a baffle is provided inside the wiring cavity, with both sides of the baffle inserted into the fixing groove, and the bottom of the baffle abutting against the wiring part.

[0012] More preferably, the baffle is further provided with at least one second partition. The number of second partitions is related to the number of terminals. When the baffle is installed in the fixing groove, the second partition divides the interior of the wiring cavity into multiple cavities and is configured to separate adjacent terminals in sequence. The terminals in different cavities are connected to different input lines and output lines respectively.

[0013] The wiring cavity has an opening at the top for inserting wiring terminals, 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 terminals inside the wiring cavity.

[0014] The top cover has a through-hole for applying sealant. When the top cover is installed in the opening, sealant is injected into the wiring cavity through the sealant hole to achieve a waterproof seal.

[0015] Specifically, the inner wall of the wiring cavity is provided with several slots, and the periphery of the top cover is provided with several downward protrusions. The protrusions can be inserted into the corresponding slots and are interference-fitted with the slot wall; the bottom of the protrusions is provided with grooves.

[0016] Preferably, the top of the wiring cavity is provided with an opening for inserting the wiring terminal, and a removable protective cover is provided at the opening. The protective cover is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the wiring cavity and is configured to protect the wiring terminal inside the wiring cavity.

[0017] The bottom of the protective cover is provided with a shield, which is configured to fill and seal the wiring cavity to achieve a waterproof seal;

[0018] The shielding component has a through groove that passes through the protective cover. When the protective cover is placed at the opening, the wiring terminals are located inside the through groove.

[0019] Specifically, the inner wall of the wiring cavity is provided with several slots, and the periphery of the protective cover is provided with several downward protrusions. The protrusions can be inserted into the corresponding slots and are interference-fitted with the slot wall; the bottom of the protrusions is provided with grooves.

[0020] More preferably, the bottom of the top cover is also provided with a blocking groove. When the top cover is installed in the opening, the second partition is inserted into the blocking groove to separate the adjacent wiring terminals in sequence.

[0021] More preferably, the bottom of the protective cover is also provided with a blocking groove, which is disposed between adjacent shielding members. When the protective cover is installed in the opening, the second partition is inserted into the blocking groove to separate the adjacent wiring terminals in sequence.

[0022] Because of the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art:

[0023] This invention features a wiring cavity next to the power supply compartment, with terminals built into it. This eliminates the need for the power 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. Simultaneously, a wiring section protrudes from one side of the power board, with terminals mounted on it. This wiring section and terminals can be directly inserted into the wiring cavity through a through-hole, eliminating the need for wiring and making installation extremely convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0024] This invention uses a baffle to block the through hole between the power supply cavity and the wiring cavity, preventing the glue from covering the wiring terminals when applying glue to the power supply cavity, which would prevent the subsequent insertion of input and output lines.

[0025] A second partition is provided between two adjacent terminals to separate them for greater safety. The bottom of the top cover is also provided with a blocking groove. When the top cover is placed over the opening of the wiring cavity, the second partition is inserted into the blocking groove. The two sides of the second partition, together with the two side walls of the blocking groove, form a wave-shaped labyrinth structure. The labyrinth structure separates the terminals and the wires on the terminals for greater safety.

[0026] The top cover of this utility model is also provided with a glue-applying hole. After the top cover is fixed, glue can be poured into the glue-applying hole to achieve waterproof sealing and prevent the problem of incomplete glue application. Furthermore, in order to avoid affecting the glue application, the top edge of the second partition away from the baffle is chamfered.

[0027] This invention can also replace the top cover with a protective cover. By setting a protective cover at the opening of the wiring cavity, the power board can be shielded, thereby providing dust protection. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0039] To keep the drawings concise, only the parts relevant to this invention are shown schematically in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one."

[0040] 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.

[0041] Example

[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 2This 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.

[0043] For a better option, see Figure 2 A power board 111 is placed inside the power supply cavity 11. A wiring portion 125 protrudes from one side of the power board 111. The wiring portion 125 passes through a through hole 14 and is placed inside the wiring cavity 12. Several terminals 121 are mounted on the wiring portion 125. The terminals 121 are 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.

[0044] 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.

[0045] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 To facilitate the passage of the wiring portion 125 and the wiring terminal 121 on the power board 111 through the through hole 14, the height of the through hole 14 is greater than the thickness of the power board 111 plus the height of the wiring terminal 121, based on the inner bottom surface of the outer casing 1. Furthermore, to achieve a seal in the power cavity 11, glue is applied inside the power cavity 11. However, due to the presence of the through hole 14, the glue may overflow the wiring terminal 121, preventing the subsequent insertion of the input line 15 and the output line 16. Therefore, this embodiment also includes a baffle 122, located inside the wiring cavity 12 and close to the through hole 14, so that the baffle 122 can block the through hole 14. To facilitate the fixing of the baffle 122, this embodiment provides corresponding fixing grooves 126 on both sides of the wiring cavity 12. Specifically, the two sides of the baffle 122 are aligned with the fixing grooves 126 and inserted until the bottom of the baffle 122 abuts against the surface of the wiring portion 125.

[0046] For a better option, see Figure 3In this embodiment, since the number of terminals 121 is at least two, the baffle 122 is also provided with at least one second partition 124. The number of second partitions 124 is related to the number of terminals 121 (the number of second partitions = the number of terminals - 1). When the baffle 122 is installed in the fixing groove 126, the second partition 124 divides the interior of the wiring cavity 12 into multiple cavities, so that adjacent terminals 121 are separated in sequence, and the terminals 121 in different cavities are connected to different input lines 15 and output lines 16 respectively, thereby improving the safety of the implementation.

[0047] For a better option, see Figure 3 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 allows for waterproof sealing by injecting glue into the upper cover 17 after it is fixed. If glue is applied before the upper cover 17 is placed on top, the glue may not be fully applied. To avoid affecting the glue injection, the top edge of the second partition 124 away from the baffle 122 is chamfered. Glue injection enables this embodiment to achieve an IP68 waterproof sealing rating.

[0048] For a better option, see Figure 6 and Figure 7To protect the wiring cavity 12, a removable protective cover 18 can be provided at the opening. The protective cover 18 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the wiring cavity 12 to protect the wiring terminals 121 inside the wiring cavity 12. Similar to the top cover 17, the protective cover 18 also has several downward protrusions 171 on its periphery. The protrusions 171 can be inserted into 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. The difference is that the top cover 17 requires potting to achieve a waterproof seal, while the protective cover 18 uses a shielding member 181 extending outward from its bottom. When the protective cover 18 is placed at the opening, the shielding member 181 fills the wiring cavity 12, thereby shielding and protecting the power board 111 below. In addition, in order to ensure the normal connection of the terminal block 121, a through groove is provided in the shield 181 that runs through the entire protective cover 18, so that when the protective cover 18 is placed at the opening, the terminal block 121 is exactly located in the through groove.

[0049] For a better option, see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the bottom of the top cover 17 is also provided with at least one blocking groove 173. When the top cover 17 is installed in the opening, the second partition 124 is inserted into the corresponding blocking groove 173. The two side plates of the second partition 124 cooperate with the two side walls of the blocking groove 173 to form a wave-shaped maze structure. The maze structure separates the wiring terminal 121 and the wires on the terminal, thereby improving the safety of the implementation.

[0050] For a better option, see Figure 7 In this embodiment, the bottom of the protective cover 18 is also provided with at least one blocking groove 173, and the two side walls of the blocking groove 173 are the outer side surfaces of the adjacent shielding member 181. When the protective cover 18 is installed in the opening, the second partition is inserted into the corresponding blocking groove 173. The two side plates of the second partition, together with the two side walls of the blocking groove 173, form a wave-shaped maze structure. The maze structure separates the wiring terminal 121 and the wires on the terminal, thereby improving the safety of the implementation.

[0051] 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.
