Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting device wiring technology, and in particular to a light strip with an adapter structure and a table having this structure. Background Technology

[0002] LED strips, as a common lighting tool, are widely used in various scenarios, and their installation methods are also diverse. When installed on flat surfaces such as desktops, the design of the cable exit plug is particularly crucial. Traditional LED strip cable exit plugs mostly use a fixed straight-through method. This installation method requires creating a mounting groove on the table surface that matches the outer diameter of the plug, and then embedding and fixing the LED strip to achieve positioning. This design has many problems in practical use.

[0003] When installing LED strips on a desktop, a groove is usually cut into the table to embed them so that the strip is flush with the surface for an aesthetically pleasing look. However, when the end space is narrow, the wires cannot extend smoothly from the end and are forced to bend. This bending not only exposes the wires, affecting the overall appearance, but also creates a hard-to-clean corner on the desktop, making it difficult to clean, prone to accumulating dust and debris, and breeding bacteria, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0004] Furthermore, the constant compression and bending of electrical wires makes their insulation prone to cracking. Once cracked, the risk of electrical leakage increases, posing a threat to the user's safety. This safety hazard is particularly pronounced in humid environments, as moisture accelerates the aging and corrosion of the wire insulation, further reducing its insulation performance. While the industry has attempted to optimize this through improvements such as adding protective sleeves, these methods have not fundamentally resolved the contradiction between the rigid, fixed structure of the outgoing wire and the dynamic operating environment. There is an urgent need to develop new outgoing wire structures to overcome this technological bottleneck.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues with traditional LED strip cable outlet plugs, a novel cable outlet plug structure needs to be designed. This structure should ensure the aesthetic appeal of the LED strip installation, prevent exposed wires and unsanitary corners, and improve the lifespan and safety of the wires. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a light strip with an adapter structure and a table with this structure to solve the problems in the existing light strip installation structure, where the traditional light strip uses a fixed straight-through end cap, which causes the cable to be bent at a large angle when installed in narrow spaces, resulting in the cable being exposed at the edge of the table and causing electrical safety hazards due to cable fatigue. In addition, it cannot adapt to the wiring requirements of different installation scenarios, which destroys the overall aesthetics. Furthermore, the fixed end cap has a lack of adaptability to installation scenarios, and there are also problems such as the dead corners created by the gap between the light strip and the table surface.

[0007] In a first aspect, this application provides a light strip with an adapter structure and a table having this structure. The light strip with the adapter structure includes: a light strip body, an adapter structure, and a wire; the light strip body includes: a light strip and a light strip disposed inside the light strip; the light strip body is detachably connected to a first end of the adapter structure; a wire led out from one end of the light strip passes through the first end of the adapter structure and exits from the second end of the adapter structure, thereby connecting to a power supply; wherein, a non-zero angle is formed between a first direction in which the wire passes through the first end of the adapter structure and a second direction in which the wire passes through the second end of the adapter structure.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the adapter structure includes: an adapter and a wire retainer; a third end of the adapter is inserted into one end of the light strip; the wire retainer is fixedly connected to the adapter and clamps the outer periphery of the wire, thereby maintaining the position of the wire within the adapter structure.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the outer periphery of the adapter is provided with a positioning rib; the inner periphery of the light strip is provided with a corresponding positioning part, and the positioning rib is engaged with the positioning part to form a circumferential limit.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the light strip is further provided with a light strip clearance notch; the light strip clearance notch engages with the outlet of the adapter to fix the wire.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, at least two positioning ribs and at least two positioning parts are provided; the number of positioning ribs and positioning parts is the same; and a positioning part is provided at a corresponding adjacent position for each positioning rib.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the wire retainer is formed as a guide hole provided inside the adapter; the adapter and the center line of the wire retainer are at a preset angle so that the wire passes through the adapter structure from the guide hole to form the non-zero included angle.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the preset angle and the non-zero included angle are right angles.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, an elongated cable routing hole is provided on the outer surface of the adapter away from the third end; after the wire passes through the adapter and the wire holder, it passes through the elongated cable routing hole, so that different non-zero angles can be formed between the first direction of the wire entering the first end of the adapter structure and the second direction of the wire entering the second end of the adapter structure.

[0015] Secondly, this application provides a table, including a tabletop, table legs supporting the tabletop, and a light strip with a connecting structure as described in the first aspect of this application, wherein the light strip is disposed on the tabletop and / or the table legs.

[0016] As described above, the light strip with a connecting structure and the table having this structure described in this application have the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This application provides a light strip with an adapter structure. By adding a functional adapter to the light strip, the wires can exit from both the top and bottom sides, meeting practical installation needs. The extended version can accommodate wire exits at any angle, improving aesthetics, cleanliness, and safety. Furthermore, the adapter structure allows the wires to bend internally, preventing them from being compressed and bent during long-term use, thus ensuring electrical safety and extending the lifespan of the light strip. This design not only solves the problem of exposed wires in traditional light strips but also addresses safety issues such as electrical leakage during installation, maintenance, and use. Moreover, this adapter structure and accessories are highly versatile and applicable to a wide range of situations. Attached Figure Description

[0055] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the following description.

[0056] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0057] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0058] The following embodiments of this application provide a light strip with an adapter structure and a table with this structure, which solves the problems in the existing light strip installation structure. In the traditional light strip installation method, the installation method of fixed straight-through plugs results in the cable being forced to bend at a large angle when installed in narrow spaces, causing the cable to be exposed at the edge of the table, leading to electrical safety hazards caused by cable bending fatigue. In addition, it cannot adapt to the wiring requirements of different installation scenarios, which destroys the overall aesthetics. Furthermore, the fixed plugs have poor adaptability to installation scenarios, and there is also the technical problem of the dead corner for hygiene caused by the assembly gap between the light strip and the table.

[0059] This application provides a light strip with an adapter structure and a table with this structure. By adding a functional adapter to the light strip, the wires can exit from both the top and bottom sides of the strip, meeting practical installation needs. Furthermore, the extended version can accommodate wire exits at any angle, improving aesthetics, cleanliness, and safety. This design not only solves the problem of exposed wires in traditional light strips but also addresses safety issues such as electrical leakage that occur during installation, maintenance, and use.

[0060] The following will describe in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the principle and implementation of a light strip with an adapter structure and a table having this structure.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The images shown are respectively a schematic diagram of the overall assembly of the table with a light strip with a transition structure according to an embodiment of this application, a schematic diagram of the wiring of the table light strip according to an embodiment of this application, a schematic diagram of the light strip structure of the light strip with a transition structure in one embodiment of this application, and an exploded view of the light strip with a transition structure in one embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the table includes: a tabletop 2, table legs 3 supporting the tabletop 2, and a light strip 1 with a connecting structure.

[0062] In one embodiment, the light strip 1 with the adapter structure includes: a light strip body 11, an adapter structure 12, and a wire 13. The light strip body 11 includes: a light strip 111 and a light belt 112 disposed inside the light strip 111; the adapter structure 12 includes: an adapter 121 and a wire retainer 122.

[0063] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The following figures are respectively: an exploded view of the adapter structure of the light strip with adapter structure in one embodiment of the present application, a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the adapter structure of the light strip with adapter structure in one embodiment of the present application, and a side view of the adapter structure of the light strip with adapter structure in one embodiment of the present application.

[0064] In one embodiment, the light strip body 11 is detachably connected to the first end 123A of the adapter structure 12; a wire 13 extending from one end of the light strip 112 passes through the first end 123A of the adapter structure 12 and exits from the second end 123B of the adapter structure 12, thereby connecting to a power supply. The first direction 124A of the wire 13 entering the first end 123A of the adapter structure 12 and the second direction 124B of the wire 13 entering the second end 123B of the adapter structure 12 form a non-zero angle.

[0065] In one embodiment, the adapter structure 12 includes an adapter 121 and a wire retainer 122. The third end 123C of the adapter 121 is inserted into one end of the light strip 111; the wire retainer 122 is fixedly connected to the adapter 121 and clamps the outer periphery of the wire 13, thereby maintaining the position of the wire 13 within the adapter structure 12.

[0066] Specifically, the third end 123C of the adapter 121 is inserted into one end of the light strip 111; the end of the light strip body 11 is connected to the first end 123A of the adapter structure 12. A light-emitting LED strip 112 is provided inside the light strip body 11. A wire 13 is led out from the end of the LED strip 112, passes through the adapter structure 12, and exits from the second end 123B of the adapter structure 12, forming a non-zero angle, and finally connects to the power socket, thereby meeting the actual power supply requirements of the light strip installation.

[0067] In other words, when the third end 123C of the adapter 121 is inserted into one end of the light strip 111, the wire 13 led out from the light-emitting strip 112 provided inside the light strip body 11 passes through the first end 123A of the adapter structure 12, runs along the built-in hole to the second end 123B of the adapter structure 12, and is output and connected to the power supply. At this time, there is a non-zero angle between the first direction 124A of the first end 123A of the adapter structure 12 and the second direction 124B of the second end 123B of the adapter structure 12, and this non-zero angle can be adjusted according to the specific installation situation.

[0068] In one embodiment, the adapter 121 has a positioning rib 1211 on its outer periphery; the light strip 111 has a corresponding positioning part 1111 on its inner periphery, and the positioning rib 1211 engages with the positioning part 1111 to form a circumferential limit. The number of positioning ribs 1211 and positioning parts 1111 is the same; each positioning rib 1211 has a positioning part at a corresponding adjacent position. At least two positioning ribs 1211 and at least two positioning parts 1111 are provided.

[0069] The light strip 111 is also provided with a light strip clearance notch 1112. The light strip clearance notch 1112 engages with the outlet of the adapter 121 to fix the wire 13.

[0070] In this embodiment, preferably, two positioning ribs 1211 and two positioning parts 1111 are provided.

[0071] Specifically, the two positioning ribs 1211 (i.e., the first positioning rib 1211A and the second positioning rib 1211B) are respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the adapter 121; the two positioning parts 1111 (i.e., the first positioning part 1111A and the second positioning part 1111B) are respectively disposed on the two inner sidewalls of the light strip 111; and the first positioning part 1111A engages with the first positioning rib 1211A, and the second positioning part 1111B engages with the second positioning rib 1211B, so that the adapter 121 and the light strip 111 maintain vertical positioning. At the same time, a light strip clearance notch 1112 is provided on the light strip 111 at a position corresponding to the second end 123B of the adapter structure 12 (i.e., the position where the adapter 121 is connected to the wire fastener 122). The light strip clearance notch 1112 engages with the wire outlet position of the adapter 121, thereby providing lateral positioning. Furthermore, an end step is provided on the adapter 121 to limit the front and rear movement between the adapter 121 and the light strip 111. Through the combination of the above structures, the safe and reliable installation and fixation of the light strip body 11 and the adapter structure 12 are ensured.

[0072] In other words, when the light strip body 11 is connected to the adapter structure 12, the first positioning part 1111A engages with the first positioning rib 1211A, and the second positioning part 1111B engages with the second positioning rib 1211B; at the connection between the adapter 121 and the wire fastener 122, the light strip body 11 is engaged with the light strip clearance notch 1112, thereby completing the engagement between the adapter 121 and the light strip 111.

[0073] In summary, when the light strip 111 is connected to the adapter structure 12, positioning ribs 1211 are designed at both the upper and lower ends of the adapter 121 to ensure upper and lower limits. Positioning parts 1111 are designed at the upper and lower ends of one end of the light strip body 11 to fix the adapter 121 and prevent it from moving left or right at the end of the light strip body 11. Similarly, an end step is provided on the adapter 121 so that the end of the adapter 121 is limited forward and backward by holding the step. Then, the light strip 111 and the adapter 121 are connected and fitted with glue to ensure a secure assembly without loosening. At the same time, to solve the problem of interference between the wire fastener 122 and the light strip 111, a notch is provided on the light strip 111 to ensure smooth and unobstructed wiring. Similarly, this installation structure effectively avoids gaps between the light strip 111 and the countertop, preventing hard-to-clean corners.

[0074] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the positioning rib 1211 and the positioning part 1111 are used together to connect and fix the light strip 111 and the adapter 121. The positioning part 1111 is preferably designed as a limiting piece in this embodiment, but it is not limited to this structural form. The positioning part 1111 can be a limiting piece or a positioning groove, depending on the positioning rib 1211, for limiting its position. Therefore, the structural selection of the positioning rib 1211 and the positioning part 1111 in this application can be made according to the specific details of the adapter structure 12.

[0075] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The images shown are, respectively, a schematic diagram of the adapter structure with an elongated waist-shaped wiring hole in one embodiment of the light strip with the adapter structure described in this application, a top view of the adapter structure with an elongated waist-shaped wiring hole in one embodiment of the light strip with the adapter structure described in this application, and a cross-sectional perspective view of the adapter structure with an elongated waist-shaped wiring hole in one embodiment of the light strip with the adapter structure described in this application.

[0076] In one embodiment, the wire retainer 122 is formed as a guide hole 1221 within the adapter 121. The adapter 121 and the centerline of the wire retainer 122 are at a predetermined angle, so that the wire 13 passes through the adapter structure 12 from the guide hole 1221 to form the non-zero angle. The predetermined angle and the non-zero angle are right angles.

[0077] Please continue reading. Figures 5 to 10 .

[0078] In one embodiment, an elongated cable routing hole 1212 is provided on the outer surface of the adapter 121 away from the third end 123C. After the wire 13 passes through the adapter 121 and the wire retainer 122, it exits through the elongated cable routing hole 1212, so that different non-zero angles can be formed between the first direction 124A of the wire entering the first end 123A of the adapter structure 12 and the second direction 124B of the wire 13 entering the second end 123B of the adapter structure 12. The wire 13 adopts an internal bending structure of the adapter 121.

[0079] Specifically, an elongated cable routing hole 1212 is provided on the outer surface of the adapter 121 away from the third end 123C. A guide hole 1221 is provided inside the cable retainer 122. The cable 13 passes through the first end 123A of the adapter 121 in a first direction 124A, enters the internal hole of the adapter 121, passes through the second end 123B of the adapter 121, and passes through the guide hole 1221 in the cable retainer 122 in a second direction 124B, connecting the cable 13 to the power supply. At this time, a non-zero included angle will be present on the internal cross-section of the adapter 122.

[0080] In other words, by designing a 90° guide hole 1221 inside the adapter structure 12, the wire 13 is inserted from the third end 123C of the side adapter 121 and then led out from the bottom of the adapter structure 12 through the wire retainer 122, thus achieving a wire exit method where the wire is perpendicular to the light strip body 11. Therefore, the wire 13 can make internal bends to achieve the purpose of safe electricity use.

[0081] Furthermore, when the non-zero included angle is not a right angle, the wire 13 passes through the adapter 121 and exits the wire retainer 122 along the direction of the guide hole 1221 to connect to the power supply. Then, according to practical installation requirements, the wire retainer 122 is rotated along the track direction of the elongated cable routing hole 1212 to adjust to the required installation angle, thereby ensuring safe electricity use. At the same time, this also prevents the wire 13 from being under prolonged compression and bending during use, which could lead to surface cracking and leakage, thus increasing safety risks.

[0082] Therefore, it can be seen that in practical applications, the 90° adapter 121 is the standard configuration, suitable for both top and bottom wiring. However, in actual use cases, there are also various installation methods with different angles, such as 45° and 120°. Therefore, the adapter 121 is extended by designing an elongated cable routing hole that runs through the side and bottom. A cable routing clearance notch is also made at the end of the light strip 111. By rotating the cable retainer 122 on the arc surface of the adapter 121, any angle of cable exit can be achieved. This design structure can meet the flexibility of later installation.

[0083] The following explanation uses the installation process of a light strip with an adapter structure and a table with this structure as an example.

[0084] An adapter structure is installed at the end of the light strip, and there is a light-emitting strip inside the light strip.

[0085] During installation, a wire is led out from the end of the light strip. The wire is passed through the adapter structure and can be turned 90° to exit vertically, changing the existing horizontal wire exit method. The wire is then led out through the wire holder and finally connected to the power socket to meet the actual power supply requirements of the light strip installation.

[0086] Furthermore, depending on the actual installation location, a non-perpendicular angle installation method can be adopted. In this case, an adapter structure with an elongated cable routing hole is used, and the wires are connected through the above connection method. At the same time, depending on the installation position of the light strip on the table, the wire retainer is rotated along the elongated cable routing hole to adjust the angle between the wire retainer and the adapter, so as to achieve any angle for the light strip installation and cable routing, thus completing the installation of the light strip on the table.

[0087] Therefore, it can be seen that the light strip with adapter structure provided in this application adopts a multi-angle wire exit structure design. This structure can flexibly exit the wire according to the actual situation of the installation position, which is convenient for installation, has high overall strength, and avoids safety problems caused by wire damage during the use of the light strip; at the same time, it also improves the service life of the light strip.

[0088] In summary, the light strip with an adapter structure and the table with this structure provided in this application, by adding a functional adapter to the light strip, allows the wires to exit from both the top and bottom sides of the light strip, meeting practical installation needs. The extended version can accommodate wire exits at any angle, improving aesthetics, cleanliness, and safety. Furthermore, the adapter structure allows the wires to bend internally, preventing them from being compressed and bent during long-term use, thus ensuring electrical safety and extending the lifespan of the light strip. This design not only solves the problem of exposed wires in traditional light strips but also addresses safety issues such as leakage during installation, maintenance, and use. Moreover, this adapter structure and accessories are highly versatile and applicable to a wide range of situations, possessing high practical value.

[0089] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this application should still be covered by the claims of this application.
