Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting auxiliary equipment technology, specifically a plastic clip for fixing light strips. Background Technology

[0002] LED strip lights are lighting products composed of multiple small light sources connected in series or parallel via flexible or rigid circuit boards. They are named for their strip-like shape and are characterized by low energy consumption, high brightness, long lifespan, and rich colors. Some products have waterproof coatings or shells to adapt to different environments. They are flexible to install, can be bent and cut, and are often used with accessories such as fixing clips. They are widely used in home decoration (such as background walls and ceilings), commercial lighting (such as shopping malls and hotels), and landscape outlining, creating atmosphere or serving as local supplementary lighting.

[0003] In the field of lighting decoration, LED strips are widely used due to their flexible shapes and diverse lighting effects. Their installation and fixation usually rely on various clips and accessories. Many existing clips for fixing LED strips suffer from unreasonable structural designs. For example, the clamping components are not flexible enough, making it difficult to insert the LED strip or to close it tightly, and they are not compatible with different specifications of LED strips. Some clips lack a reliable automatic reset clamping structure, requiring continuous force to maintain the clamping state. This is cumbersome to operate and the fixing effect is unstable, easily leading to LED strip loosening or falling off, affecting installation efficiency and safety, and failing to meet the need for convenient and stable LED strip fixing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plastic clip for fixing LED strips, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a plastic clip for fixing light strips, including a wedge plate, a clamping arm hinged to the wedge plate, a torsion spring between the wedge plate and the clamping arm, and a pressing plate fixedly installed on the top of the clamping arm.

[0006] Furthermore, the pressing plate is inclined at the top of the clamping arm, with the inclination angle set at 15°.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the clamping arm is integrally formed with a rubber layer.

[0008] Furthermore, a protrusion is installed on one side of the wedge plate, and the clamping arm wraps around the protrusion.

[0009] Furthermore, a ring-shaped hanger is fixedly installed on the top of the pressing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing bolt is threaded onto the wedge plate, and a handle is fixedly installed on the fixing bolt.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes mounting bolts, wherein a square hole is provided on the wedge plate, and the mounting bolts are mounted on the wedge plate through the square hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the wedge plate is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, when fixing the light strip, pressing the pressing plate causes the clamping arm to rotate around the hinge point with the wedge plate, deforming the torsion spring. After the clamping arm opens, the light strip is placed between the protrusion of the clamping arm and the wedge plate. Removing the external force causes the torsion spring to return to its original position, driving the clamping arm to clamp the light strip and complete the fixing. The wedge plate is hinged to the clamping arm, allowing the clamping arm to rotate flexibly, facilitating opening and closing, adapting to different specifications of light strips, and making operation simple and smooth.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the inner wall of the clamping arm is integrally formed with a rubber layer. The rubber is soft and has a high coefficient of friction, which can prevent the clamping arm from directly contacting and damaging the surface of the light strip. At the same time, it increases the friction between the clamping arm and the light strip, making the light strip more securely clamped and preventing it from sliding and shifting inside the clamping arm, thus ensuring a long-lasting and reliable fixing effect.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] See Figures 1-4 As shown, a plastic clip for fixing a light strip includes a wedge plate 1, a clamping arm 3 hinged to the wedge plate 1, a torsion spring 4 between the wedge plate 1 and the clamping arm 3, and a pressing plate 2 fixedly installed on the top of the clamping arm 3.

[0024] When fixing the light strip, external force presses the pressing plate 2. Since the pressing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 3, the clamping arm 3 rotates around the hinge point with the wedge plate 1. At this time, the torsion spring 4 is deformed by force. After the clamping arm 3 opens, the light strip is placed between the clamping arm 3 and the protrusion 5 of the wedge plate 1. When the external force is removed, the torsion spring 4 returns to its deformation, driving the clamping arm 3 to reset and tightly clamp the light strip, thus completing the fixing. The wedge plate 1 and the clamping arm 3 are hinged, which allows the clamping arm 3 to rotate flexibly, making it easy to open smoothly when placing the light strip and to close tightly when fixing. It is suitable for the insertion and clamping needs of light strips of different specifications, and the operation process is simple and smooth.

[0025] The torsion spring 4 provides a continuous elastic force. After the pressing plate 2 is released, it can drive the clamping arm 3 to automatically reset and maintain the clamping state without the need for additional external force, ensuring a stable and long-lasting clamping force on the light strip and preventing the light strip from loosening or falling off due to vibration, pulling, etc. during use.

[0026] The pressing plate 2 is fixed to the top of the clamping arm 3, providing a convenient force point for opening and closing the clamping arm 3. Users can easily control the state of the clamping arm 3 by pressing, reducing installation difficulty and improving the efficiency of fixing the light strip. It is especially suitable for batch installation or operation in confined spaces.

[0027] All components work together, with wedge plate 1 serving as the basic support, clamping arm 3 directly clamping the light strip, torsion spring 4 providing clamping power, and pressing plate 2 facilitating operation and control. Together, they form a simple and efficient clamping system that can stably and reliably fix the light strip, meeting the basic requirements for light strip installation in daily lighting or decoration.

[0028] See Figure 1-3 The pressing plate 2 is tilted at the top of the clamping arm 3, with the tilt angle set at 15°.

[0029] The pressing plate 2 is tilted at 15° and positioned at the top of the clamping arm 3. This conforms to the natural force angle when a person presses the plate, reducing the force required for pressing and making it easier for the user. At the same time, the tilt angle can prevent interference between the hand and the clamping arm 3, wedge plate 1, and other components during pressing, making it easier to observe the placement of the light strip during operation and improving the smoothness and convenience of operation.

[0030] See Figure 2 The inner wall of the clamp arm 3 is integrally formed with a rubber layer.

[0031] The inner wall of the clamping arm 3 is integrally molded with a rubber layer. The rubber is soft and has a high coefficient of friction, which can prevent the clamping arm 3 from directly contacting and damaging the surface of the light strip. At the same time, it increases the friction between the clamping arm and the light strip, making the light strip more secure and preventing it from sliding or shifting inside the clamping arm 3, thus ensuring a long-lasting and reliable fixing effect.

[0032] See Figure 1-3 A protrusion 5 is installed on one side of the wedge plate 1, and the clamping arm 3 wraps around the protrusion 5.

[0033] The protrusion 5 on one side of the wedge plate 1 and the clamping arm 3 fit together to provide additional limiting support for the light strip, so that the light strip is more tightly wrapped between the clamping arm 3 and the protrusion 5, reducing the left and right swaying of the light strip during the clamping process and improving the stability of the fixation. At the same time, the protrusion 5 can help position the light strip, making the installation more neat.

[0034] See Figure 1 A ring-shaped hanger 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the pressing plate 2.

[0035] The ring-shaped hanger 10 at the top of the pressing plate 2 can be used to hang clips. It can be used with hooks, ropes and other components to fix the clips in different positions, expanding the installation scenarios of the clips. It is no longer limited to flat fixing, making the installation position of the light strip more flexible and meeting diverse decoration or lighting needs.

[0036] See Figure 2 A fixing bolt 7 is threaded onto the wedge plate 1, and a handle 8 is fixedly installed on the fixing bolt 7.

[0037] The fixing bolts 7 on the wedge plate 1 are threaded together to enhance the connection stability between the wedge plate 1 and other components, preventing loosening during use. The handles 8 on the fixing bolts 7 make it easy to tighten or loosen the fixing bolts 7 by hand, making the installation and disassembly process more labor-saving and convenient, and improving operating efficiency.

[0038] See Figure 1 It also includes mounting bolts 9. A square hole 6 is provided on the wedge plate 1, and the mounting bolts 9 are set on the wedge plate 1 through the square hole 6.

[0039] The mounting bolt 9 is installed through the square hole 6 on the wedge plate 1. The square hole 6 provides a certain amount of position adjustment space, which makes it easy to adjust the fixing position of the mounting bolt 9 according to the installation requirements, thereby enhancing the flexibility of installation. At the same time, the mounting bolt 9 can firmly fix the wedge plate 1 to the mounting surface, ensuring the overall installation stability of the clamp. The square hole 6 can also reduce the weight of the clamp, making the structure lighter.

[0040] See Figure 1 The surface of the wedge plate 1 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0041] The anti-slip texture on the surface of the wedge plate 1 increases the friction when the hand contacts the wedge plate 1, making it easier to operate the wedge plate 1 for installation or adjustment and preventing slippage. At the same time, if the wedge plate 1 contacts the mounting surface, the anti-slip texture can also enhance the friction with the mounting surface, helping to improve the stability of the clamp after installation and reducing displacement.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
