Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of linear lights, specifically to a symmetrical linear light quick splicing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the market for both linear and circular linear lights, when using male and female quick-connect fittings, male and female connectors must be installed on the profile ends of the two lights to be joined. While this ensures even force distribution, it requires separate processing of two types of structural components during production, leading to double the material inventory in the supply chain. Furthermore, the installation process demands strict matching of the male and female connectors. Incorrect installation of the male and female connectors at the connection ends prevents assembly, especially for circular lights. Even incorrect installation of the male and female connectors prevents assembly into a circular or other desired shape. This current male and female connector design not only increases material management costs by over 30% but also significantly hinders on-site construction efficiency, becoming a key pain point restricting the standardization of the industry. Simultaneously, when linear lights use linear splicing fittings, the tension is only in one direction, resulting in uneven force distribution in other directions and large gaps at the connection points due to uneven stress. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a symmetrical linear light quick splicing structure, which can solve the problems of uneven stress, large gaps, low construction efficiency and complicated material management in the existing splicing structure after assembly. It also eliminates the constraint that two linear lights must be paired and assembled when splicing, which facilitates standardization.

[0004] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A symmetrical linear light quick splicing structure includes a male connector, female connectors symmetrically arranged on both sides of the male connector, and a locking mechanism between the male connector and the two female connectors. The female connectors are fixed to the ends of the linear light profiles, and the splicing points of two linear lights are spliced ​​through the male connectors.

[0006] Preferably, one side of the female connector is provided with an outwardly protruding inner leaf plate, and one side of the female connector is fixed to the end of the linear light profile through the inner leaf plate.

[0007] Preferably, at least one inner leaf plate is symmetrically provided on both sides of one side of the female connector.

[0008] Preferably, the female connector has a mounting groove on its outer side, and the two sides of the male connector are respectively embedded in the mounting groove.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the male connector is provided with two outwardly protruding positioning slide rails, and the inner side of the mounting groove is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning slide rails.

[0010] Preferably, both the mounting groove and the positioning slide are n-shaped structures with an opening on one side, and the positioning slide is inserted and connected along the open end of the mounting groove.

[0011] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a semi-circular locking hole on the top of the female connector and a circular locking hole on the top of the male connector.

[0012] Preferably, the male connector is further provided with at least one reinforcing rib.

[0013] Preferably, the depth of the mounting groove is 1 / 2 of the thickness of the male connector.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This new technology solves the limitations of existing linear light assembly methods that rely on male and female connectors. It eliminates the need to distinguish between male and female connectors during assembly, enabling rapid splicing of linear lights of any shape. This significantly improves assembly efficiency and reduces the complexity of production, warehousing, and installation. The simple mechanical structure allows for quick connection and installation of the light bodies, resulting in even stress distribution between the two spliced ​​linear lights, minimizing gaps. It offers high versatility and standardized splicing, thus resolving issues such as uneven stress distribution, large gaps, low construction efficiency, and complex material management associated with existing linear light splicing structures.

[0023] The present application will now be further described in conjunction with 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.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class, without limiting the number of objects; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a symmetrical linear light quick splicing structure includes a male connector 3, female connectors 1 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the male connector 3, and a locking mechanism 2 disposed between the male connector 3 and the two female connectors 1. The female connectors 1 are fixed to the ends of the linear light profile, and the splicing points of the two linear lights are spliced ​​through the male connector 3.

[0027] During production, the female connector 1 is typically fixed directly to both ends of the linear light profile by welding, while the male connector 3 is stored separately as the main connecting component. When two linear lights need to be spliced, simply install the male connector 3 at the connection end of the two linear light profiles, connect them in series, and lock them together using the locking mechanism 2. This allows for quick splicing of the two linear lights. Since the ends of the linear light profiles are uniformly designed with the female connector 1, the male connector 3 can serve as a universal interface. This solves the problem of limitations imposed by the male and female connector assembly method when assembling linear lights with existing splicing structures. There is no need to distinguish between male and female connectors during splicing. In terms of standardization, the traditional requirement to differentiate between male and female connectors is eliminated. This improvement reduces the types of materials, significantly lowers production, warehousing, and logistics management costs, and simplifies the installation process, avoiding polarity mismatch errors during installation. It enables quick splicing of linear lights of any shape, effectively improving assembly efficiency.

[0028] Further improvements include, for example Figure 2 As shown, one side of the female connector 1 is provided with an outwardly protruding inner leaf plate 6, and one side of the female connector 1 is fixed to the end of the linear light profile through the inner leaf plate 6; at least one inner leaf plate 6 is symmetrically provided on both sides of one side of the female connector 1.

[0029] The female connector 1 can be inserted into the linear light profile through the inner blade plate 6 protruding outward on one side, which makes the weld more secure and less prone to falling off. Especially when the female connector 1 has at least one inner blade plate 6 symmetrically arranged on both sides, the long inner blade plate 6 can effectively increase the contact surface. Generally, the inner blade plate 6 on the same side is divided into upper and lower pieces, which can better match the existing profile.

[0030] A further improvement is that the female connector 1 has an installation groove 4 on its outer side, and the two sides of the male connector 3 are respectively embedded in the installation groove 4.

[0031] The female connector 1 has the same profile shape as the linear light. By splicing two female connectors 1 together, the assembled linear light has a more aesthetically pleasing outline and is less prone to unevenness. The outer side of the female connector 1 forms an inwardly recessed mounting groove 4. When the two female connectors 1 are connected and assembled using the male connector 3, the male connector 3 is installed in the two mounting grooves 4. The male connector 3 not only provides a transition at the splice point but also conceals the male connector 3, preventing any abrupt appearance after installation.

[0032] Further improvements include, for example Figure 3As shown, the male connector 3 has two outwardly protruding positioning slide rails 8 symmetrically arranged on its outer side, and the mounting groove 4 has a positioning groove 5 that cooperates with the positioning slide rails 8 on its inner side; both the mounting groove 4 and the positioning groove 5 are n-shaped structures with one side opening, and the positioning slide rails 8 are inserted and connected along the opening end of the mounting groove 4.

[0033] The positioning slide rail 8 protruding outward from the outer side of the male connector 3 engages with the positioning slide groove 5 inside the mounting groove 4 on the outer side of the two female connectors 1, effectively providing relative fixation and preventing partial separation of the two female connector splicing surfaces. Both the mounting groove 4 and the positioning slide groove 5 are n-shaped structures with one open end, typically located on the back of the lamp. During assembly, simply align the two sides of the positioning slide rail 8 of the male connector 3 with the open end of the positioning slide groove 5 and push it inward. This allows the positioning slide rail 8 to slide along the positioning slide groove 5 at the open end, achieving relative positioning. The operation is simple and convenient. Especially in terms of installation efficiency, once two linear lights are joined, this solution utilizes the welded mechanical structure that fixes the female connector 1 and the guide rail-type male connector 3. Simply insert the male connector 3 into the space formed by the two mounting grooves 4 and push it inward to achieve rapid splicing. With minimal shape restrictions for the male connector 3, the structural design utilizes a symmetrical bidirectional positioning slide rail 8 and positioning groove 5 for splicing and positioning, completely solving the technical problems of uneven force distribution and gap formation inherent in traditional splicing methods. This design ensures that the lamp body is evenly stressed in multiple dimensions, including up / down and left / right, improving both the stability of the splicing and the aesthetics of the product.

[0034] Further improvements include, for example Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 2 includes a semi-circular locking hole 21 on the top of the female connector 1 and a circular locking hole 22 on the top of the male connector 3.

[0035] The locking mechanism 2 consists of a semi-circular locking hole 21 on the top of the female connector 1, a circular locking hole 22 on the top of the male connector 3, and a locking nut 23. The semi-circular locking hole 21 is located in the center of the top of the female connector 1, while the circular locking hole 22 is located in the center of the top of the male connector 3. When the two female connectors 1 are assembled through the male connector 3, the circular holes formed by the two semi-circular locking holes 21 and the circular locking hole 22 are coaxially aligned. Simply screwing the nut into the circular holes 21 and 22 achieves relative locking between the male connector 3 and the two female connectors 1, preventing detachment. The locking nut 23 further tightens the mechanism. The operation is simple, enabling rapid installation and disassembly. It ensures a rigid connection at the joints and achieves tool-free installation, making it highly valuable in large-scale engineering lighting projects. It not only solves a long-standing technical pain point in the industry but also provides reliable technical support for the standardized production and large-scale application of linear lighting products.

[0036] The specific installation and usage steps are as follows: After aligning the female connector 1 with the linear light profile, weld the inner leaf plate 6 on one side of the female connector 1 to the inner cavity wall of the linear light profile to make it a whole. Then, use the positioning slide rail 8 of the male connector 3 to splice them together. Finally, use nuts to lock the male connector 3 and the splicing female connector 1 from top to bottom to achieve the splicing purpose.

[0037] The male connector 3 is further provided with at least one reinforcing rib 7. This reinforcing rib 7 improves the stability of both sides of the male connector 3 and allows it to form a unified structure with the female connector 1, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance. The depth of the mounting groove 4 is greater than or equal to half the thickness of the male connector 3, ensuring a better fit during assembly, a more aesthetically pleasing result, and easier installation.

[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this application shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this application.
