Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a light-emitting diode support strip. [Background Technology]

[0002] Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources have advantages such as high luminous efficiency, low power consumption, long service life, high reliability, and environmental friendliness, and are widely used in industry and daily life.

[0003] Please see Figure 1 This is a planar schematic diagram of a prior art light-emitting diode (LED) substrate strip. The prior art manufacturing process for the LED substrate strip involves fixing a substrate 20 to an LED support strip 10. The LED support strip 10 includes a left strip 11, a right strip 13, and a support bar 15. The left strip 11 and the right strip 13 are arranged in parallel. The support bar 15 connects the left strip 11 and the right strip 13 and fixes the spacing between them to facilitate the installation and fixation of the substrate 20. The width of the LED support strip 10 is 75.06 ± 0.1 mm.

[0004] However, after the substrate 20 is fixed, the support strip 15 is a component that needs to be cut off. Furthermore, the light-emitting diode support strip 10 is made from conductive sheets, and the width of the conductive sheets used as raw materials is 76.06±0.1mm. After the substrate 20 is fixed, the conductive sheets constituting the support strip 15 are cut off, resulting in low utilization of the conductive sheets and waste of raw materials.

[0005] Therefore, a new light-emitting diode support strip is needed to solve the technical problems of low utilization rate of conductive sheets and waste of raw materials. [Utility Model Content]

[0006] To address the problems of low utilization rate and waste of raw materials associated with conductive sheets, this invention provides a light-emitting diode support strip with high metal sheet utilization and material saving.

The right body includes a right side groove and a right positioning hole. The right side groove is located on the edge of the right body away from the second connecting part, and the right positioning hole is located between the right side groove and the second connecting part.

[0013] Furthermore, the left body also includes a left escape hole, which is disposed between the left positioning hole and the second connecting part; the right body also includes a right escape hole, which is disposed between the right positioning hole and the second connecting part.

[0017] Furthermore, it includes a third material strip, which is connected to the second material strip via the third connecting portion, and the third connecting portion has the same structure as the first connecting portion.

[0018] Compared to existing technologies, the LED support strip of this invention is easier to transport and store in its connected state, and is less prone to damage to the terminals. After cutting off the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, the LED support strip enters the separated state. In the separated state, the substrate is fixed, and the size of the second connecting portion is not limited by the substrate, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of metal sheets and save raw materials. At the same time, the LED support in the separated state can be used with substrates of different lengths, making it flexible and convenient to use.

[0055] Provides the light-emitting diode support strip in the aforementioned connected state;

[0056] Cut off the first connecting portion and separate the light-emitting diode bracket strip into the first strip and the second strip;

[0057] In one embodiment, the first connecting portion and the third connecting portion are cut off, and the light-emitting diode support strip is separated into the first strip, the second strip and the third strip;

[0058] The second connecting portion is cut off, and the first material strip and the second material strip are separated into the left material strip and the right material strip, respectively, and the light-emitting diode bracket material strip is in the separated state;
