Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of linear light technology, and specifically relates to an LED linear light that facilitates the installation of light strips. Background Technology

[0002] Linear lights are decorative lighting fixtures widely used in indoor and outdoor locations. A traditional linear light consists of a long, narrow housing, LED strips, and a lampshade. One side of the housing is recessed to form a light source receiving groove, which runs along the length of the housing. The LED strip is either glued to the bottom of the groove using 3M adhesive or has snap-fit ​​grooves on both sides of the groove. The LED strip extends from the end opening of the housing into the snap-fit ​​grooves on both sides of the groove and snaps into place. Finally, the lampshade is installed. The opening of the light source receiving slot; however, firstly, 3M adhesive is required during the direct installation of the LED light strip. If there is any bulging during the installation of the LED light strip, the adhesive needs to be torn off and re-fixed after fixing, which is quite cumbersome; or the LED light strip is installed in the light source receiving slot by snap-fitting, but since the LED light strip cannot be adjusted during the process of extending into the end, the installation is also quite cumbersome; secondly, since the light source emitted by the LED light strip is transmitted to the outside through the lamp cover, if you want the light to be non-glaring and the LED beads to be invisible, the lamp cover needs to be thickened, which increases the manufacturing cost of the linear light. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an LED linear light that facilitates the installation of LED strips. The linear light housing has a light-transmitting cavity along its length. The back of the housing is recessed into the light-transmitting cavity along its length to form a strip receiving groove. The two side walls of the strip receiving groove extend inward to form abutment protrusions, with a clearance between the two abutment protrusions. The LED strip extends into the strip receiving groove through the opening at one end, with its back abutting against the abutment protrusions. The clearance is used to adjust the position of the LED strip. The LED bead side of the LED strip faces the bottom of the strip receiving groove. The light emitted from the LED strip passes sequentially through the strip receiving groove, the light-transmitting cavity, and the front of the linear light housing before exiting to the outside. Compared to directly attaching the LED strip to the long, narrow light housing using 3M adhesive or by directly clipping it in, this invention... The advantages of installing LED strips on the outside of the linear light housing are as follows: First, the LED strips only need to be pressed against the protruding edges, eliminating the need for 3M adhesive, thus saving assembly costs. Furthermore, a clearance gap is created between the two protruding edges, allowing for adjustment of the LED strip's position and preventing it from bulging and getting stuck during installation, simplifying the process. Second, because the light emitted from the LED strip passes sequentially through the light strip receiving groove, the light-transmitting chamber, and the front of the linear light housing before emitting outwards, the light passes through multiple layers during its emission, making the glaring LED beads invisible to the user. This results in softer, less dazzling light, improving the user experience. Moreover, this structure eliminates the need for a thicker lampshade, further reducing the manufacturing cost of linear lights and facilitating their widespread adoption.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An LED linear light that facilitates the installation of light strips, characterized in that it comprises: a linear light housing, and an LED light strip installed inside the linear light housing along the length direction of the linear light housing;

[0006] The linear lamp housing has a light-transmitting cavity along its length, and the back of the linear lamp housing is recessed into the light-transmitting cavity along its length to form a lamp strip receiving groove. The two side walls of the lamp strip receiving groove extend inward to form abutting protrusions, and a clearance gap is formed between the two abutting protrusions by a certain distance.

[0007] After the LED light strip extends into the light strip receiving groove through the opening at one end, the back of the LED light strip abuts against the abutting protrusion. The clearance is used to adjust the position of the LED light strip. The LED bead side of the front of the LED light strip faces the bottom of the light strip receiving groove. The light emitted by the LED light strip passes through the light strip receiving groove, the light-transmitting chamber and the front of the linear lamp housing in sequence and is emitted to the outside.

[0008] As a preferred solution for LED linear lights that facilitate the installation of light strips, the two sides of the linear light housing are provided with multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions along its length direction. The multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions are arranged in parallel, and the protruding surface of each snap-fit ​​protrusion is arc-shaped.

[0009] When the linear lamp housing is installed in the mounting groove, the multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions reduce the friction between the side of the linear lamp housing and the wall of the mounting groove, while the multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions abut against the wall of the mounting groove.

[0010] When the linear lamp housing is installed on the snap-fit ​​spring, the middle part of the snap-fit ​​spring is recessed inward to form an embedding groove, and the groove wall of the embedding groove forms an elastic buckle. After the linear lamp housing is embedded in the embedding groove, the elastic buckle engages between two adjacent snap-fit ​​protrusions.

[0011] As a preferred solution for LED linear lights that facilitate the installation of light strips, the housing of the linear light is made of light-transmitting plastic.

[0012] As a preferred solution for LED linear lights that facilitate the installation of light strips, the LED light strip is an LED light strip or a strip-shaped LED light panel.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention provides an LED linear light with convenient installation of light strips, comprising: a linear light housing and an LED light strip installed within the linear light housing along its length. The interior of the linear light housing has a light-transmitting chamber along its length. The back of the linear light housing is recessed into the light-transmitting chamber along its length to form a light strip receiving groove. The two side walls of the light strip receiving groove extend inward to form abutment protrusions, with a clearance between the two abutment protrusions. After the LED light strip extends into the light strip receiving groove through the opening at one end, the back of the LED light strip abuts against the abutment protrusions. The clearance is used to adjust the position of the LED light strip. The LED bead side of the front of the LED light strip faces the bottom of the light strip receiving groove. The light emitted by the LED light strip passes sequentially through the light strip receiving groove, the light-transmitting chamber, and the front of the linear light housing before being emitted to the outside. Using this solution, compared to directly attaching the LED light strip to a long strip lampshade with 3M adhesive or by directly clipping it onto the lampshade, this method offers advantages over simply using 3M adhesive. Regarding operation within the housing, this invention inserts the LED light strip into the light strip receiving groove on the back of the linear light housing. The advantages of installing the LED light strip on the outside of the linear light housing are: First, the LED light strip only needs to be pressed against the abutting protrusion, eliminating the need for 3M adhesive, thus saving assembly costs. Furthermore, a clearance gap is formed between the two abutting protrusions, allowing adjustment of the LED light strip's position and preventing it from bulging and getting stuck during installation, simplifying the installation process. Second, because the light emitted by the LED light strip passes sequentially through the light strip receiving groove, the light-transmitting chamber, and the front of the linear light housing before emitting outwards, the light passes through multiple layers during emission, making the user unable to see the glaring LED beads. This results in softer, less glaring light, improving the user experience. Moreover, this structure eliminates the need for a thicker lampshade, further reducing the manufacturing cost of the linear light and facilitating its widespread adoption.

[0022] Linear lights are decorative lighting fixtures widely used in indoor and outdoor locations. A traditional linear light consists of a long, narrow housing, LED strips, and a lampshade. One side of the housing is recessed to form a light source receiving groove, which runs along the length of the housing. The LED strip is either glued to the bottom of the groove using 3M adhesive or has snap-fit ​​grooves on both sides of the groove. The LED strip extends from the end opening of the housing into the snap-fit ​​grooves on both sides of the groove and snaps into place. Finally, the lampshade is installed. The opening of the light source receiving slot; however, firstly, 3M adhesive is required during the direct installation of the LED light strip. If there is any bulging during the installation of the LED light strip, the adhesive needs to be torn off and re-fixed after fixing, which is quite cumbersome; or the LED light strip is installed in the light source receiving slot by snap-fitting, but since the LED light strip cannot be adjusted during the process of extending into the end, the installation is also quite cumbersome; secondly, since the light source emitted by the LED light strip is transmitted to the outside through the lamp cover, if you want the light to be non-glaring and the LED beads to be invisible, the lamp cover needs to be thickened, which increases the manufacturing cost of the linear light.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an LED linear light that is easy to install light strips, which includes: a linear light housing 10, and an LED light strip 20 installed in the linear light housing 10 along the length direction of the linear light housing 10;

[0024] The linear lamp housing 10 has a light-transmitting chamber 11 inside along its length direction. The back of the linear lamp housing 10 is recessed into the light-transmitting chamber 11 along its length direction to form a light strip receiving groove 12. The two side walls of the light strip receiving groove 12 extend inward to form abutting protrusions 121. A clearance gap 122 is formed between the two abutting protrusions 121 by a certain distance.

[0025] After the LED light strip 20 extends into the light strip receiving groove 12 through the opening at one end of the light strip receiving groove 12, the back of the LED light strip 20 abuts against the abutting protrusion 121. The clearance gap 122 is used to adjust the position of the LED light strip 20. The LED bead side of the front of the LED light strip 20 is set facing the bottom of the light strip receiving groove 12. The light emitted by the LED light strip 20 passes through the light strip receiving groove 12, the light-transmitting chamber 11 and the front of the linear lamp housing 10 in sequence and is emitted to the outside.

[0026] In this utility model, the above-described solution, compared to directly attaching the LED strip 20 to the elongated lampshade housing with 3M adhesive or by directly snapping it in, has the advantage of extending the LED strip 20 into the LED strip receiving groove 12 on the back of the linear lamp housing 10 and installing the LED strip 20 on the outside of the linear lamp housing 10. Firstly, the LED strip 20 only needs to be pressed against the abutting protrusion 121, without the need for 3M adhesive, saving assembly costs. Secondly, a clearance gap 122 is formed between the two abutting protrusions 121, through which the LED strip 20 can be adjusted. The position of the LED strip 20 avoids it from bulging and getting stuck during installation, simplifying the installation process. Secondly, since the light emitted by the LED strip 20 passes through the light strip receiving groove 12, the light-transmitting chamber 11, and the front of the linear lamp housing 10 before being emitted to the outside, the light passes through multiple layers during the emission process, making it impossible for users to see the glaring LED beads. This results in softer, less glaring light, improving the user experience. Moreover, the above structure does not require thickening the lamp cover, further reducing the manufacturing cost of the linear lamp and facilitating its widespread adoption.

[0027] In order to install the linear lamp housing 10, multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions 13 are provided on both sides of the linear lamp housing 10 along its length direction. The multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions 13 are arranged in parallel, and the protruding surface of each snap-fit ​​protrusion 13 is arc-shaped.

[0028] When the linear lamp housing 10 is installed in the mounting groove 30, the plurality of snap-fit ​​protrusions 13 reduce the friction between the side of the linear lamp housing 10 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 30, while the plurality of snap-fit ​​protrusions 13 abut against the groove wall of the mounting groove 30.

[0029] When the linear lamp housing 10 is installed on the snap-fit ​​spring piece 40, the middle part of the snap-fit ​​spring piece 40 is recessed inward to form an embedding groove 41, and the groove wall of the embedding groove 41 forms an elastic buckle 42. After the linear lamp housing 10 is embedded in the embedding groove 41, the elastic buckle 42 snaps between two adjacent snap-fit ​​protrusions 13.

[0030] In this utility model, the linear lamp housing 10 is preferably made of light-transmitting plastic material. However, it is not limited to this utility model. The material of the linear lamp housing 10 can also be light-transmitting silicone material. The material of the linear lamp housing 10 can achieve light transmission so that the user cannot see the glaring light-emitting beads. This utility model does not limit this.

[0031] In this utility model, the LED light strip 20 is preferably an LED light strip or a strip-shaped LED light panel. However, it is not limited to this utility model. The LED light strip 20 can also be a long strip-shaped LED light source formed by connecting multiple LED beads. The LED light strip 20 can be installed in the light strip receiving groove and emit light towards the light strip receiving groove. This utility model does not limit this.

[0032] The standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased directly from the market, and the non-standard structural parts described in the specification can also be processed without any doubt based on existing technical common sense. At the same time, the connection methods of each component adopt mature conventional methods in the existing technology, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and not for limiting the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. However, these obvious variations or modifications arising from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
