Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light strips, and in particular to a light strip corner connector and a light strip. Background Technology

[0002] LED strips typically require a connector sleeve for corner connections. This involves cutting the LED strip and inserting it into a connector to achieve the corner. However, in practice, it has been found that the plug-in method used during installation often leads to the LED strip easily detaching during installation, resulting in poor contact and impacting installation progress while also creating the impression of a low yield rate. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a light strip corner connector and a light strip.

[0004] The present invention provides a light strip corner connector using the following technical solution: a light strip corner connector, comprising a corner body, wherein the two ends of the corner body are provided with insertion ports for inserting light strips, the interior of the corner body is hollow to form a cavity, and the corner body is connected to the cavity, characterized in that: a connecting component and a pressing component are provided in the cavity, the connecting component is disposed in the cavity and forms a gap with the bottom of the cavity for inserting the light strip;

[0005] The top of the cavity has a mounting hole that communicates with the cavity. The clamping component is inserted into the cavity through the mounting hole to push the connecting component to clamp the light strip. When the light strip is clamped by the connecting component, the connecting component passes through the light strip and abuts against the bottom of the cavity. A copper sheet is provided at the bottom of the cavity. The connecting component is electrically connected to the copper sheet, and the copper sheet, the connecting component, and the light strip form a series path.

[0006] The connecting assembly includes a connecting seat, a limiting seat, and a contact. The limiting seat is fixed on the inner wall of the cavity. A pair of limiting holes are opened on the end face of the limiting seat for the connecting seat to pass through, and each limiting hole corresponds to one connecting seat to pass through. The two connecting seats respectively press the end of the light strip.

[0007] The hole of the limiting hole gradually narrows towards the bottom of the cavity. The contact is fixed on the connecting seat. The connecting seat has elastic elements on both sides. The side of the elastic element that contacts the limiting hole has a guide surface. When the connecting seat passes through the limiting hole, the elastic element contacts the inner wall of the limiting hole and contracts. When the contact is pressed against the bottom of the cavity, the elastic element resets and presses against the lower end face of the limiting seat.

[0008] The elastic element includes a compression spring and a telescopic column. The guide surface is located at the end of the telescopic column. The edge of the connecting seat is provided with an insertion hole. The other end of the telescopic column is inserted into the insertion hole. One end of the compression spring abuts against the telescopic column, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the bottom of the insertion hole.

[0009] The contact includes a tip and a bent section. The tip is fixed to one end of the bent section, and the other end of the bent section is fixed to the connecting seat. When the connecting seat is pressed against the light strip, the contact passes through the light strip and abuts against the copper sheet.

[0010] The clamping assembly includes a clamping seat, which is inserted into the mounting hole and fixedly connected to the connecting seat, with the other end of the clamping seat extending out of the cavity.

[0011] The present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: a light strip connected by a light strip corner connector, the light strip including a silicone outer layer, the hollow interior of the silicone outer layer for installing LED beads, a copper strip laid at the bottom of the silicone outer layer, the LED beads fixed on the copper strip and powered by the copper strip, and the connecting component passing through the copper strip and contacting the copper sheet.

[0012] Compared to existing technologies, in this invention, when two light strips need to be connected at a corner, after the two light strips are inserted into the corresponding positions, in order to connect the two light strips, the connecting component can be pushed onto the surface of the pressed light strip by the pressing component, and at the same time, the contact of the connecting component can directly penetrate the light strip. During the penetration process, the contact passes through the copper strip and abuts against the copper sheet at the bottom of the cavity. That is, the two light strips can be connected to form a passage through the copper strip, contact and copper sheet of the light strip itself. In addition, during the whole process, the connecting component is pressed on the light strip for limiting, so that the light strip is not easy to detach from the cavity, making it more convenient to use and less likely to have poor contact during the wiring process.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0017] Reference Figure 1-2 A corner connector for LED strip 5 includes a corner body 1 with insertion ports 11 at both ends for inserting LED strip 5. The corner body 1 is hollow, forming a cavity 12. The corner body 1 communicates with the cavity 12. A connecting component 3 and a clamping component 2 are provided within the cavity 12. The connecting component 3 is located within the cavity 12 and forms a gap with the bottom of the cavity 12 for inserting the LED strip 5. After the LED strip 5 is inserted, the connecting component 3 clamps onto the LED strip 5 and passes through it, thus connecting two LED strip sections 5 in series via the corner body 1. Throughout the process, the connecting component 3 clamps onto the LED strip 5 for restraint, preventing the LED strip 5 from easily detaching from the cavity 12, making it more convenient to use and reducing the likelihood of poor contact during wiring. Specifically, a mounting hole 13 is opened at the top of the cavity 12 and communicates with the cavity 12. The clamping component 2 is inserted into the cavity 12 through the mounting hole 13 to push the connecting component 3 to clamp the light strip 5. When the light strip 5 is clamped by the connecting component 3, the connecting component 3 passes through the light strip 5 and presses against the bottom of the cavity 12. A copper sheet 4 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 12. The connecting component 3 is electrically connected to the copper sheet 4, and the copper sheet 4, the connecting component 3 and the light strip 5 form a series circuit.

[0018] In this embodiment, the connecting component 3 includes a connecting seat 31, a limiting seat 32, and a contact 33. The limiting seat 32 is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 12. A pair of limiting holes 321 are opened on the end face of the limiting seat 32 for the connecting seat 31 to pass through, and each limiting hole 321 corresponds to one connecting seat 31 to pass through. The two connecting seats 31 respectively press the end of the lamp strip 5. The hole of the limiting hole 321 gradually narrows in the direction of the bottom of the cavity 12. The contact 33 is fixed on the connecting seat 31. Elastic members 34 are provided on both sides of the connecting seat 31. The side of the elastic member 34 that contacts the limiting hole 321 is provided with a guide surface 341. When the connecting seat 31 passes through the limiting hole 321, the elastic member 34 contacts the inner wall of the limiting hole 321 and retracts. When the contact 33 abuts against the bottom of the cavity 12, the elastic member 34 resets and abuts against the lower end face of the limiting seat 32. The elastic element 34 includes a compression spring 342 and a telescopic post 343. A guide surface 341 is located at the end of the telescopic post 343. The edge of the connecting seat 31 has an insertion hole 344. The other end of the telescopic post 343 is inserted into the insertion hole 344. One end of the compression spring 342 abuts against the telescopic post 343, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the insertion hole 344. In actual use, when the connecting seat 31 moves down, it passes through the limiting hole 321, causing the guide surface 341 to contact the inner wall of the limiting hole 321, thereby pushing the telescopic post 343 to retract. At this time, the compression spring 342 is compressed, and finally the telescopic post 343 is fully retracted to a position that allows the connecting seat 31 to pass through the limiting hole 321. As the connecting seat 31 moves down, the compression spring 342 eventually resets, pushing the telescopic post 343 to extend again to form a locking position, thus ensuring tight contact of the contact 33.

[0019] In this embodiment, the contact 33 can be elastic, so that the connecting seat 31 can be pressed against the lower part of the limiting hole 321. At the same time, the elasticity can also make the contact between the contact 33 and the copper sheet 4 more reliable. In this embodiment, the contact 33 includes a tip and a bent section. The tip is fixed to one end of the bent section, and the other end of the bent section is fixed to the connecting seat 31. When the connecting seat 31 is pressed against the lamp strip 5, the contact 33 passes through the lamp strip 5 and abuts against the copper sheet 4.

[0020] The clamping assembly 2 in this embodiment includes a clamping seat 21, which is inserted into the mounting hole 13 and fixedly connected to the connecting seat 31. The other end of the clamping seat 21 extends out of the cavity 12.

[0021] In this embodiment, a light strip 5 is connected using a corner connector. The light strip 5 includes a silicone outer layer 51, the interior of which is hollow for mounting LED beads 52. A copper strip 53 is laid at the bottom of the silicone outer layer 51, and the LED beads 52 are fixed on the copper strip 53 and powered by the copper strip 53. The connecting component 3 passes through the copper strip 53 and contacts the copper sheet 4. While the clamping component 2 pushes the connecting component 3 onto the surface of the clamped light strip 5, the contact 33 of the connecting component 3 directly passes through the light strip 5. During the penetration process, the contact 33 passes through the copper strip 53 and abuts against the copper sheet 4 at the bottom of the cavity 12. That is, two sections of the light strip 5 can be connected to form a passage through the copper strip 53, the contact 33, and the copper sheet 4 of the light strip 5 itself. Throughout the process, the connecting component 3 is pressed firmly onto the light strip 5 for limiting, making it less likely for the light strip 5 to detach from the cavity 12, thus making it more convenient to use and less prone to poor contact during wiring.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, in this utility model, when the two sections of the light strip 5 need to be connected at the corner, after the two sections of the light strip 5 are inserted into the corresponding positions, in order to connect the two light strip 5, the connecting component 3 can be pushed by the clamping component 2 onto the surface of the clamped light strip 5, and the contact 33 of the connecting component 3 can directly penetrate the light strip 5. During the penetration process, the contact 33 passes through the copper strip 53 and abuts against the copper sheet 4 at the bottom of the cavity 12. That is, the two sections of the light strip 5 can be connected into a passage through the copper strip 53, the contact 33 and the copper sheet 4 of the light strip 5 itself. In addition, during the whole process, the connecting component 3 is pressed on the light strip 5 for limiting, so that the light strip 5 is not easy to detach from the cavity 12, making it more convenient to use. During the wiring process, the light strip 5 is less likely to have poor contact.

[0023] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
