Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solderless plug technology, specifically to a solderless plug for a strip light. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and assembly of strip lights, the plug, as an important connecting component, not only seals the end of the light body but also needs to achieve a stable connection with the power supply through its internal power-taking structure. Currently, most strip light plugs on the market adopt a one-piece molded structure design, meaning that the plug shell and the power-taking terminal mounting structure are an inseparable whole, such as the rear-insertion solderless power-taking plug and LED strip light disclosed in application number CN202221263736.4; and another example is a strip light plug disclosed in application number CN202223366802.3.

[0003] This one-piece molding structure has significant limitations in practical applications: Firstly, due to differences in end dimensions and installation space among different specifications of strip lights, when adapting to different sizes of strip lights, a corresponding end cap mold must be designed and manufactured separately for each size. This not only leads to high mold development costs but also increases the complexity of production management due to the wide variety of molds, hindering production cost control. Secondly, if the power supply structure inside the end cap is damaged or needs upgrading, since the end cap is not disassembled, the entire end cap must be replaced, resulting in material waste and increased maintenance costs. Furthermore, the one-piece molding end cap lacks design flexibility, making it difficult to optimize the power supply structure individually according to actual needs, thus limiting the adaptability of strip lights in different application scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a strip light end cap structure that can reduce production costs, improve adaptability, and facilitate maintenance has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a solderless plug for a strip light.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a strip lamp solderless plug, including a plug seat and a power terminal. The plug seat includes an integrally formed plug part and a back plate, and also includes a power plate for installing the power terminal. The plug part is provided with a through slot along its axial direction, and positioning grooves are provided on the side walls on both sides of the slot.

[0007] The power-collecting board is connected to the positioning slide groove, and the two sides of the power-collecting board have mating parts that slide with the positioning slide groove.

[0008] The upper surface of the power receiving board is provided with an elastic positioning part. By pressing the elastic positioning part, the holding state between the power receiving board and the plug-in part can be released, and the power receiving board can be disassembled from the positioning slide. By releasing the elastic positioning part, the power receiving board can be connected in the positioning slide.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic positioning part includes a connecting part and an elastic cantilever. The upper surface of the elastic cantilever has a raised engagement step, and the back plate above the slot is provided with a clearance groove. In the natural state of the elastic cantilever, the engagement step presses against the back plate above the clearance groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting part, the elastic cantilever, and the power collection plate are integrally formed.

[0011] Furthermore, an inlet ramp is provided on the back of the snap-fit ​​step.

[0012] Furthermore, the power-collecting plate is provided with a terminal slot for installing a power-collecting terminal along its axial direction. The upper wall of the terminal slot is provided with a bayonet. The upper side of the power-collecting terminal is provided with a snap-fit ​​spring that connects with the bayonet. The lower side of the power-collecting terminal has a protruding elastic contact portion.

[0013] Furthermore, a handle plate is integrally formed on the back panel.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. Reduced production costs: Because the plug and power take-up board are designed separately, when adapting to strip lights of different sizes, only the corresponding plug needs to be produced for each size, while the power take-up board remains universal. This significantly reduces the types and number of molds developed, lowers mold design and manufacturing costs, simplifies production management processes, and helps control overall production costs.

[0016] 2. Enhanced Adaptability: The separate structure of the plug holder and the power supply board allows the same power supply board to be compatible with various sizes of plug holders, enhancing the product's adaptability to different specifications of strip lights. There is no need to design a separate power supply structure for each size, improving the product's versatility and ease of use, and better meeting diverse market demands.

[0017] 3. Easy maintenance and replacement: When the power take-up board is damaged, aged, or requires technical upgrades, it can be disassembled and replaced separately without replacing the entire plug. This not only reduces material waste and maintenance costs but also shortens maintenance time and improves product lifespan and efficiency.

[0018] In addition to the objectives, features and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features and advantages.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0027] This utility model provides a solderless plug for a strip light.

[0028] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-4 The strip light solderless plug includes a plug seat 1 and a power terminal 2. The plug seat 1 includes an integrally formed plug part 3 and a back plate 4, and also includes a power plate 5 for installing the power terminal 2. The plug part is provided with a through slot 6 along its axial direction, and positioning grooves 7 are provided on the side walls on both sides of the slot 6.

[0029] The power collection board is connected to the positioning slide groove, and the two sides of the power collection board have mating parts 8 that slide with the positioning slide groove.

[0030] The upper surface of the power receiving board 5 is provided with an elastic positioning part 9. By pressing the elastic positioning part 9, the holding state between the power receiving board and the plug-in part can be released, and the power receiving board can be disassembled from the positioning slide. By releasing the elastic positioning part, the power receiving board can be connected in the positioning slide.

[0031] In the above technical solution, the solderless plug for the strip light consists of a plug seat, a power terminal, and a power receiving plate. The plug seat has a through slot at its insertion part, with positioning grooves on both sides. The mating parts on both sides of the power receiving plate can slide with the positioning grooves, allowing the power receiving plate to be installed in the insertion part. The power receiving plate has an elastic positioning part; pressing it releases the power receiving plate from the insertion part for easy disassembly; releasing it stably connects the power receiving plate within the positioning grooves. This design allows for the separation of the plug seat and the power receiving plate. When adapting to different sizes of strip lights, only the plug seat needs to be replaced; the power receiving plate is universal, reducing the types of molds and lowering production costs. Furthermore, the detachable power receiving plate facilitates individual replacement or upgrades without replacing the entire plug, reducing maintenance costs and improving product flexibility and practicality.

[0032] Specifically, the elastic positioning part includes a connecting part 10 and an elastic cantilever 11. The upper surface of the elastic cantilever 11 has a raised snap-fit ​​step 12. The back plate above the slot is provided with a relief groove 13. In the natural state of the elastic cantilever, the snap-fit ​​step presses against the back plate above the relief groove.

[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic positioning part includes a connecting part and an elastic cantilever. The locking step on the upper surface of the elastic cantilever presses against the relief groove of the back plate above the slot in its natural state. When the elastic cantilever is pressed, the locking step disengages from the relief groove, releasing the positioning of the power receiving board; after being released, the elastic cantilever resets, and the locking step presses against the relief groove again, thus fixing the power receiving board. Utilizing the elastic characteristics of the elastic cantilever, the disassembly and installation of the power receiving board becomes more convenient and labor-saving, improving assembly and maintenance efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, the connecting part, the elastic cantilever, and the power collection plate are integrally formed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the one-piece molding reduces the number of assembly steps for components, lowers assembly errors, and improves the overall structural strength and stability of the power collection board, ensuring that the elastic positioning part can function stably. At the same time, it simplifies the production process, improves production efficiency, and reduces the risk of failure due to improper component assembly.

[0036] Specifically, an inlet ramp 14 is provided on the back of the snap-fit ​​step.

[0037] In this embodiment, the back of the snap-fit ​​step is provided with an induction ramp. During the installation of the power board, when the induction ramp contacts the back plate, the guide effect of the ramp allows the snap-fit ​​step to slide more smoothly into the clearance groove, reducing obstacles during installation.

[0038] Specifically, the power-collecting plate is provided with a terminal slot 15 for installing a power-collecting terminal along its axial direction. The upper wall of the terminal slot 15 is provided with a bayonet 16. The upper side of the power-collecting terminal is provided with a snap-fit ​​spring piece 17 that connects with the bayonet 16. The lower side of the power-collecting terminal has a protruding elastic contact portion 18.

[0039] In this embodiment, the power-taking board has a terminal slot along the axial direction for installing a power-taking terminal. The snap-fit ​​on the upper wall of the terminal slot engages with the snap-fit ​​spring on the upper side of the power-taking terminal, and the elastic contact part on the lower side of the power-taking terminal can contact the external power source or the conductive part of the lamp body. During installation, the power-taking terminal is inserted into the terminal slot, and the snap-fit ​​spring engages with the snap-fit ​​to achieve fixation. The elastic contact part ensures the stability of the conductive connection.

[0040] Specifically, the back panel has an integrally formed handle plate 19.

[0041] In this embodiment, a handle plate is integrally formed on the back plate. The handle plate and the back plate are the same unit. The plug seat can be operated by holding the handle plate, such as installing the plug onto or removing it from the strip light.

[0042] Please note to all technical personnel: Although this utility model has been described according to the specific embodiments above, the concept of this utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification that utilizes the concept of this utility model will be included within the scope of protection of this patent right.
