Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting decoration technology, and in particular to a plug-in string light. Background Technology

[0002] As people's pursuit of quality of life continues to improve, string lights, as a type of lighting fixture that combines decorative and illumination functions, are increasingly widely used in various venues, such as home decoration, festival celebrations, and commercial displays. However, existing string light technology has many limitations and cannot meet people's increasingly diverse needs.

[0003] Relevant prior art, such as the Chinese patent application "Neon String Lights" (application number: CN201210471069.3), discloses a series of small neon lights with embedded tubes of different shapes, a power cord with several power sockets, and a pair of power pins at the bottom of each small neon light that are connected to the neon tube. The pins connect the small neon light to the power cord by cooperating with the power sockets on the power cord. Each small neon light connected to the power cord is connected in parallel to each other. One end of the power cord is connected to a power source. Each small neon light has a base fixed inside its tube, and several LED bulbs are arranged on the base and connected in parallel to each other.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent application "An LED Lamp and String Lights", application number: CN201710772025.7, discloses a string light including multiple LED lamps. The LED lamp includes a lamp head, a lamp housing, a driver, a heat sink, a lamp shade, and a protective shell. The driver is electrically connected to the lamp head and is housed in the heat sink. The lamp housing is housed in the heat sink. The lamp head is provided with a fixing plate. The lamp housing is provided with a sliding groove and a support plate. The sliding groove and the support plate are alternately connected. The fixing plate slides from the sliding groove into the support plate and is locked in the support plate to fix the lamp head to the lamp housing. The protective shell penetrates the lamp shade and the lamp housing. The protective shell, the lamp shade, and the lamp housing are fixed together.

[0005] Traditional string lights typically consist of a fixed number of bulbs or light clusters connected in series, with their length predetermined during manufacturing. Users cannot flexibly adjust the length to suit their needs. This often results in strings being too long or too short when decorating spaces or objects of varying sizes. If the strings are too long, the excess bulbs are either left unused or tangled, wasting resources and affecting aesthetics; if the strings are too short, the desired decorative effect cannot be achieved, and multiple sets of strings may need to be purchased and spliced ​​together, increasing costs and operational complexity. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a plug-in string light that can be flexibly adjusted in length, has a simple structure, and is safe and convenient to use, so as to meet the diverse needs of the market and users for string lights.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a plug-in string light, including a head section, a tail section and at least one extension section. The head section includes a controller and at least one light group connected in series by wires. One end of the wire of the head section is connected to a plug and the other end is provided with a female plug. The extension section includes at least one light group connected in series by wires. One end of the wire of the extension section is provided with a male plug and the other end is provided with a female plug. One end of the wire of the tail section is provided with a male plug and the other end is provided with a latch. The male plug and the female plug are detachably connected. When the male plug and the female plug are connected, the circuit at the connection point is conductive.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this application are as follows: First, in practical applications, different decorative scenarios and objects require different string light lengths. This plug-in string light design allows users to flexibly adjust the total length of the string lights by increasing or decreasing the number of extension segments according to specific decorative needs, thereby better meeting the personalized needs of various scenarios such as home decoration, festival celebrations, and commercial displays. Traditional fixed-length string lights, when the length is unsuitable, leave the excessively long sections idle or tangled, resulting in wasted resources. Plug-in string lights, however, allow for flexible length adjustment. Users only need to purchase suitable head segments, tail segments, and the necessary number of extension segments to achieve precise length matching, avoiding the idleness and waste of excess light segments and improving resource utilization.

[0009] Secondly, the head section, extension section, and tail section are connected via male and female connectors. This connection method is simple, intuitive, and easy to operate, requiring no complex tools or professional installation skills. Users can quickly and easily assemble and disassemble the string lights, greatly improving ease of use. If a section or component malfunctions, users can quickly locate and replace the faulty section without replacing the entire string of lights, reducing maintenance and operating costs.

[0010] Furthermore, the basic structure of this application facilitates subsequent functional expansion. For example, extension sections with different colors and shapes of light groups can be added to meet higher-level user needs. Alternatively, the head section can be replaced to add intelligent control functions such as remote control, timer, and dimming, thereby expanding the product's application range and market competitiveness.

[0011] Finally, since the string lights can be disassembled into the head section, tail section, and various extension sections, they can be disassembled and stored compactly when not in use, taking up little space and making them easy to store. During transportation, the string lights can be flexibly combined and disassembled as needed, improving transportation efficiency and reducing transportation costs.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the head section is connected in series with a plug, a controller, several light groups and a female connector, and a latch is provided between the light groups and the controller.

[0013] In this application, the plug needs to be connected to a mains power outlet, and the controller is located near the plug, allowing the user to control the entire string light's operating status. The latch marks the beginning of the light assembly in the string light, serving as the starting point for installation and helping to ensure a smooth installation process and prevent errors.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the lamp assembly includes a base, an outer shell, and an inner shell. The base is connected in series with an electric wire. The outer shell and the inner shell are spliced ​​together to form a flat triangular structure. The inner shell forms the inner wall of the triangular structure, and the outer shell forms the outer surface of the triangular structure.

[0015] In actual production and use, different light group shapes can be changed, making the string lights more beautiful and atmospheric.

[0016] The light assembly designed in this application uses a triangular structural component, which is a preferred structure. The flat triangular structural component allows the string lights to be hung closer to the decorations, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and better adaptability to different decorative scenarios and needs.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the inner housing is provided with an installation slot, which is arranged in a triangular structure along the length of the inner housing. Multiple LED lights are regularly arranged in three directions of the installation slot. The top of the outer housing is detachably connected to the base. When the outer housing and the base are connected, the LED lights are connected to the wires.

[0018] LED lights are arranged in three directions, allowing the light assembly to emit light from all angles, resulting in better decorative and lighting effects. The top of the outer casing and the base are detachably connected. This detachable design facilitates the assembly of LED lights and other components during installation and also makes it easier to repair or replace them in case of failure, reducing operating costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the outer shell and / or inner shell are made of a transparent material. The transparent material allows for better light transmission, enabling the light to be emitted evenly, thus improving the lighting and decorative effects of the string lights and enhancing their ability to create ambiance.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, hanging brackets are provided between adjacent light groups and between light groups and latches, allowing the wires to be suspended from the installation environment via these brackets. The use of hanging brackets provides string lights with a flexible hanging installation method, allowing users to easily hang them in various locations, such as tree branches, railings, and walls, according to the actual installation environment and decorative needs, thus increasing the product's applicability and flexibility.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the hanging component includes a ring, a left hanging rod, and a right hanging rod. The ring is sleeved around the wire and can move along the wire when subjected to force. Users can freely adjust the position of the hanging component according to actual installation needs, thereby more accurately fixing the string lights in the appropriate position and improving the convenience and flexibility of installation.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the ring, left hanging rod, and right hanging rod are located on the same plane, and the included angle between the left hanging rod and the right hanging rod is an obtuse angle. This design allows the hanging components to better distribute the force during suspension, providing a more stable suspension effect, reducing the swaying of the string lights in the suspended state, and ensuring the stability and safety of the decorative effect.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the male connector has an external thread on its surface, and the female connector has an insertion port adapted to the male connector. The male connector is inserted into the female connector and is threadedly connected to the female connector.

[0024] Threaded connections provide a more reliable mechanical connection, ensuring a tight fit between the male and female connectors and preventing poor contact or open circuits caused by loosening, thus improving the lifespan and stability of the string lights. Furthermore, threaded connections facilitate disassembly and assembly, allowing users to quickly connect and disconnect different sections of the string lights without the need for special tools, making it convenient for users to adjust the string length or perform maintenance as needed.

[0033] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0035] A plug-in string light, as described in Embodiment 1 Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the string lights include a head section 1, a tail section 17, and at least one extension section 16. In practical applications, different decorative scenarios and objects require different string light lengths. This plug-in string light design allows users to flexibly adjust the total length of the string lights by increasing or decreasing the number of extension sections 16 according to specific decorative needs, thereby better meeting the personalized needs of various scenarios such as home decoration, festival celebrations, and commercial displays. Traditional fixed-length string lights, when the length is unsuitable, leave the excessively long sections idle or tangled, resulting in wasted resources. Plug-in string lights, however, allow for flexible length adjustment. Users only need to purchase the appropriate head section 1, tail section 17, and the necessary number of extension sections 16 to achieve precise length matching, avoiding the idleness and waste of excess light segments and improving resource utilization.

[0036] The head section 1 includes a controller 2 formed by connecting wires in series and at least one light group 3. One end of the wire in the head section 1 is connected to a plug 11, and the other end is provided with a female connector 4. The extension section 16 includes at least one light group 3 connected in series by wires. One end of the wire in the extension section 16 is provided with a male connector 5, and the other end is provided with a female connector 4. One end of the wire in the tail section 17 is provided with a male connector 5, and the other end is provided with a locking buckle 6. The male connector 5 and the female connector 4 are detachably connected. When the male connector 5 and the female connector 4 are connected, the circuit at the connection point is conductive. The head section 1, the extension section 16, and the tail section 17 are connected by the cooperation of the male connector 5 and the female connector 4. This connection method is simple and intuitive, easy to operate, and does not require complicated tools or professional installation skills. Users can quickly and easily complete the assembly and disassembly of the string lights, greatly improving the convenience of use. If a certain extension segment 16 or a certain component fails, the user can quickly locate and replace the faulty segment without replacing the entire string of lights, thus reducing maintenance and operating costs.

[0037] Because the string lights can be disassembled into the head section 1, the tail section 17, and various extension sections 16, they can be disassembled and stored compactly when not in use, taking up little space and facilitating storage. During transportation, the string lights can be flexibly combined and disassembled as needed, improving transportation efficiency and reducing transportation costs.

[0038] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the head section 1 is sequentially connected in series with a plug 11, a controller 2, several light groups 3, and a female connector 4. A locking latch 6 is provided between the light groups 3 and the controller 2. In this application, the plug 11 needs to be connected to a mains power socket. The controller 2 is located near the plug 11, and the user can control the working status of the entire string of lights through the controller 2. The locking latch 6 is the starting end of the light group 3 in the string of lights, which is the starting point for installing the string of lights and helps to ensure a smooth installation process and avoid installation errors.

[0039] The light assembly 3 includes a base 7, an outer shell 8, and an inner shell 9. The base 7 is connected in series with an electric wire. The outer shell 8 and the inner shell 9 are joined to form a flat triangular structure. The inner shell 9 forms the inner wall of the triangular structure, and the outer shell 8 forms the outer surface of the triangular structure. In actual production and use, different shapes of the light assembly 3 can be replaced, making the string lights more aesthetically pleasing and creating a more atmospheric effect.

[0040] The design of light assembly 3 in this application features a triangular structural component, which is a preferred structure. The flat triangular structural component allows the string lights to be hung closer to the decorations, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and better adaptability to different decorative scenarios and needs.

[0041] The inner wall of the inner housing 9 has mounting slots 10, which form a triangular structure along the length of the inner housing 9. Multiple LEDs are regularly arranged in three directions of the mounting slots 10. The top of the outer housing 8 is detachably connected to the base 7. When the outer housing 8 and base 7 are connected, the LEDs are electrically connected. The arrangement of LEDs in three directions ensures that the light group 3 emits light from all angles, resulting in better decorative and lighting effects. The detachable connection between the top of the outer housing 8 and the base 7 facilitates the assembly of LEDs and other components during installation and also facilitates repair or replacement in case of malfunction, reducing operating costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0042] The outer shell 8 and / or inner shell 9 are made of transparent material. Transparent material allows for better light transmission, enabling the light to be emitted evenly, improving the lighting and decorative effects of the string lights, and enhancing their ability to create ambiance.

[0043] Hangers 12 are installed between adjacent light groups 3 and between light group 3 and latch 6, allowing the wires to be suspended from the installation environment via the hangers 12. The hangers 12 provide a flexible hanging installation method for string lights, allowing users to easily hang them in various locations such as tree branches, railings, and walls according to the actual installation environment and decorative needs, increasing the product's applicability and flexibility.

[0044] The hanging component 12 includes a ring 13, a left hanging rod 14, and a right hanging rod 15. The ring 13 is fitted over the wire and can move along the wire when under force. Users can freely adjust the position of the hanging component 12 according to actual installation needs, thereby more accurately fixing the string lights in the appropriate position and improving the convenience and flexibility of installation.

[0045] The ring 13, left hanging rod 14, and right hanging rod 15 are located on the same plane, and the included angle between the left hanging rod 14 and the right hanging rod 15 is an obtuse angle. This design allows the hanging member 12 to better distribute the force when suspended, providing a more stable suspension effect, reducing the swaying of the string lights in the suspended state, and ensuring the stability and safety of the decorative effect.

[0046] The male connector has external threads on its surface, and the female connector has an insertion port adapted to the male connector. The male connector is inserted into the female connector and threadedly connected. This threaded connection provides a more reliable mechanical connection, ensuring a tight connection between the male connector 5 and the female connector 4, preventing poor contact or open circuits due to loosening, and improving the lifespan and stability of the string lights. Furthermore, the threaded connection facilitates disassembly and assembly by the user, allowing for quick connection and separation of the string lights without the need for special tools, making it convenient for users to adjust the string light length or perform maintenance as needed.

[0047] The rest of the content of Example 2 is the same as that of Example 1.

[0048] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
