[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lighting fixtures, and in particular to a waterproof dimming structure and lighting fixtures with specific applications. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards continue to improve, users have higher requirements for lighting equipment, demanding not only aesthetic appeal but also powerful functionality.
[0003] The dimming method of existing lighting equipment is generally achieved through dimming structures. However, most of the current dimming structures do not have waterproof functions and have poor product performance stability.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide waterproof dimming structures and lighting fixtures with appropriate applications to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a waterproof and dimming structure, which has the advantages of being waterproof, having a reasonable product structure design, and having good performance stability.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] Includes: a potentiometer, a rotating connector that is fixedly inserted into the potentiometer, a connector that is partially inserted into the rotating connector and is partially inserted into it by a locking member, and a rotating adjusting member that is inserted into the connector after passing through the waterproof module and is loosely inserted into the connector by the locking member according to the rotation.
[0008] Preferably, the connector has a through-hole for locking the rotary adjustment member in the middle, and a second locking channel is formed on one side, and the locking member is locked into the second locking channel.
[0009] Preferably, the connector is D-shaped.
[0010] Preferably, the snap-fit channel is perpendicular to and connected to the second snap-fit channel.
[0011] Preferably, the waterproof module includes at least two waterproof gaskets.
[0012] Preferably, one side of the rotating connector has an inwardly formed snap-fit groove for engaging the connector, and the other side has a protruding fixed post for connecting and fixing the potentiometer.
[0013] Preferably, the rotating adjustment component is a rotating dimming screw, and a locking part is formed on the rotating adjustment component.

Furthermore, the rotating adjustment component, passing through the waterproof module, rotates into the connector. Rotating the rotating adjustment component and the locking component interacts with it to adjust the tightness, resulting in a structure that provides both good airtightness and excellent performance, ultimately enhancing the product's waterproof effect.
[0015] Accordingly, this utility model also provides a lamp with a waterproof dimming structure, which has the advantages of being waterproof, having a highly rational product structure design, and having good performance stability.
[0016] A luminaire with a waterproof dimming structure includes: a lamp body, and a waterproof dimming structure as described above installed in the lamp body.
[0017] Preferably, the lamp body includes: an outer shell with a cavity formed in the middle, a drive board module installed in the outer shell, and a lampshade installed on the drive board module, the potentiometer of the waterproof dimming structure is perpendicular to one side of the drive board module, and the rotating adjustment component is installed through the outer shell.
[0018] Preferably, the waterproof module is disposed on the inner and outer sides of the outer shell.
[0019] This utility model applies a lamp with a waterproof dimming structure. By applying the above-mentioned waterproof dimming structure, the product has the advantages of being waterproof, having a highly reasonable product structure design, and having good performance stability.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The waterproof dimming structure 100 of this embodiment includes: a potentiometer 1, a fixed post 21 that is snapped into a rotating connector 2 inside the potentiometer 1, a connector 3 that is partially snapped into the rotating connector 2, a locking member 4 that penetrates the connector 3, and a rotating adjusting member 6 that penetrates the waterproof module 5 and, depending on the depth of its rotation into the connector 3, acts on the locking member 4 and is snapped into the connector 3. This product separates the potentiometer 1, eliminating the need for a large circuit board in the product design and helping to improve the internal space utilization of the product.
[0032] In this embodiment, the rotating connector 2 has a snap-fit groove 22 formed inward on one side to snap the connector 3, and a fixing post 21 for connecting and fixing the potentiometer 1 is formed protruding on the other side. The fixing post 21 passes through and snaps into the potentiometer 1. The connector 3 is installed in the snap-fit groove 22, and the snap-fit groove 22 has a notch formed on the side to facilitate the assembly, installation and adjustment of this product.
[0033] The connector 3 has a through-hole locking channel 31 for locking the rotary adjustment member 6, and a second locking channel is formed on one side. The locking member 4 is inserted into the second locking channel, and the locking channel 31 is perpendicularly connected to the second locking channel. Furthermore, the connector 3 is D-shaped. By setting the connector 3 to a D-shape, the rotary adjustment member 6 is fully enclosed by the connector 3, which overcomes the slippage phenomenon in the prior art and helps to improve the practicality of the product.
[0034] The waterproof module 5 includes at least two waterproof gaskets. In use, the two waterproof gaskets are respectively installed on the inner and outer sides of the shell through which the rotating adjustment member 6 passes, providing double waterproof protection and making the product have better waterproof performance when applied.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating adjustment component 6 is a rotating dimming screw, and a locking part 61 is formed on the rotating adjustment component 6. Specifically, the locking part 61 is formed on the threaded end of the rotating dimming screw, and a notch is hollowed out from that end towards the other end. In use, the rotating adjustment component 6 is inserted through the waterproof module 5 and screwed close to the snap-fit channel 31. The rotating adjustment component 6 is rotated, and the locking component 4 acts on the rotating adjustment component 6 to maintain a certain tightness. While maintaining the airtightness of the product, it helps to transmit external force to the interior of the application product.
[0036] As can be seen from the above description, by separating the potentiometer 1, the defect of limited installation space for the potentiometer 1 in the prior art is overcome. The D-shaped connector 3 is used, and the structure is fully enclosed. At the same time, the tightening member 4 is installed on the connector 3. The rotation adjustment member 6 is rotated, and the tightening member 4 and the rotation adjustment member 6 interact to adjust the tightness, so that external force can enter the application product through the rotation member 4.
[0037] This product has advantages such as being waterproof, having a highly rational product structure design, and having good performance stability.
[0038] Please combine again Figure 3 and Figure 4 The application of this embodiment includes a lamp with a waterproof dimming structure, comprising: a lamp body 01, and a waterproof dimming structure 100 installed in the lamp body 01 as described above.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the lamp body 01 includes: an outer shell a1 with a cavity formed in the middle, a drive board module a2 installed inside the outer shell a1, and a lampshade a3 installed on the drive board module a2. The potentiometer 1 of the waterproof dimming structure 100 is perpendicular to one side of the drive board module a2. The rotating adjustment member 6 is installed through the outer shell a1. The waterproof module 5 is disposed on the inner and outer sides of the outer shell a1. Specifically, the two waterproof gaskets of the waterproof module 5 are respectively installed on the inner and outer shells of the outer shell a1.
[0040] Specifically, this product vertically mounts potentiometer 1 to the side of the drive board module a2, and the rotating connector 2 is inserted into the potentiometer 1. The connector 3, which is equipped with the locking member 4, is inserted into the rotating connector 2. The two waterproof gaskets are respectively installed on the inner and outer walls of the same side wall of the outer shell a1. The rotating adjustment member 6 passes through the two waterproof gaskets in sequence and rotates into the connector 3. According to its own structure and rotation, the tightness is adjusted with the locking member 4, thereby transmitting external force into the lamp body 01.
[0041] As can be seen from the above description, the potentiometer 1 of this product has multiple selectable positions, which facilitates the utilization of the internal space of the product. The matching arrangement of the connector 3, the locking component 4 and the rotary adjustment component 6 improves the internal airtightness of the product. At the same time, it effectively avoids the phenomenon of connector 3 slipping in the prior art, and effectively improves the performance of the product. The setting of the waterproof module 5 makes this product have a better waterproof effect.
[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
