Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting controller installation, specifically to a quick-connect CAT1 lighting controller installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] As the name suggests, a lamp controller is a controller that can control each lamp individually. There are many types of lamp controllers, but the main categories fall into two categories. The first category, technically speaking, is divided into power line carrier lamp controllers and Zigbee lamp controllers; the second category, functionally speaking, is divided into lamp controller master units and lamp controller slave units.
[0003] The CAT1 lighting controller is a smart device with a built-in 4G low-speed network module that connects to the internet via a SIM card. It allows users to remotely control, dim, time, and manage streetlights, landscape lights, and other lighting fixtures via a mobile app or cloud platform, without relying on Wi-Fi or complex wiring.
[0004] Existing CAT1 lighting controllers typically control lights by connecting an external power source to a single lamp controller and then to a driver. However, installing a lighting controller requires multiple wiring connections, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Furthermore, technical issues may result in unstable wiring, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a quick-connect CAT1 lighting controller, so as to solve the technical problems that require multiple wirings when installing the lighting controller, which is troublesome and inefficient, and may result in unstable wiring due to technical issues, thus posing safety hazards.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an installation structure for a quick-connect CAT lighting controller, comprising a single-lamp controller, one end of which is fixedly connected to two sets of neutral and live wires, each set of neutral and live wires having a copper wire fixedly connected inside, each set of copper wires having a necked thread fixedly connected to its outer wall, each set of necked threads being fixedly connected to the inside of a fastening cap, each set of fastening caps having a threaded connection between its inner wall and the outer wall of a connector, each set of connectors having a male connector fixedly connected to one end, each set of male connectors having a male electrode fixedly connected inside, each set of male electrodes having its outer wall movably connected to the outer wall of a female electrode, and each set of female electrodes being fixedly connected to the inside of a female connector.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer insulation of the neutral and live wires connected to the single lamp controller is stripped to expose the copper wires. The fastening cap is then placed on the neutral and live wires with the opening facing outwards. The necked teeth inside the fastening cap are tightly against the exposed copper wires. The female connector is then removed. The rear end of the female connector is fixed with a joint. The inner wall of the fastening cap has internal threads, which can be tightened onto the female connector. This quickly completes the installation of the two neutral and live wire connectors.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the copper wire is slidably connected to the necking tooth, which serves to tighten and fix the copper wire when connected to the connector.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer ring of the connector end is threaded, and the inside is a conical copper core. The copper wire is inserted into the conical copper core, and the fastening cap is pushed up. The necked teeth inside the fastening cap are made of copper and deform with the conical surface inside the conical copper core, thus engaging with the copper wire.
[0010] Furthermore, a neutral and live wire are provided after the connector, and a driver is fixedly connected to the other end of the neutral and live wire. The driver serves to protect and regulate the current. An LED light is fixedly connected to the driver through the neutral and live wire, and the LED light serves to provide illumination.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, two wires are fixedly connected to both ends of the driver. The two neutral and live wires at one end are connected to the LED light. The current input is set in the circuit board of the single lamp controller, and the current is shunted through the neutral and live wires into the driver, so that the driver can light up the LED light.
[0012] Furthermore, an antenna is fixedly connected to one end of the single-lamp controller via a nut. The antenna serves to receive and transmit signals. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lamp controller. The mounting base serves to fix the lamp controller. A power supply line is fixedly connected to one side of the single-lamp controller. The power supply line serves to connect to an external power source for power supply.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a mounting base is set at the bottom of the single lamp controller, which fixes the single lamp controller inside the device. At this time, the power supply line is connected to the external power source, and the current is input to the circuit board set inside the single lamp controller. The current is shunted and sent to the driver through the neutral and live wires. The driver lights up the LED. The single lamp controller can be connected to external electronic devices through an antenna when powered on, so as to achieve the function of remotely controlling the LED light switch and controlling the LED light intensity.
[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0015] The fastening cap and conical copper core interlocking structure, combined with the quick-connect design of the male and female connectors, significantly simplifies the wiring process. During construction, simply strip the cable insulation layer, insert the female connector's conical core, and tighten the fastening cap. The deformation of the necked teeth achieves a tight interlock between the copper wire and the conical core, completely eliminating the need for traditional welding or screw crimping processes and greatly improving wiring efficiency. The male and female connectors use an arc groove and semi-cylindrical guide, combined with a concave-convex engagement and hook locking mechanism, to complete a secure connection with a single push. The operation is extremely convenient and effectively improves dustproof and waterproof performance, ensuring long-term stable outdoor operation. The overall structure allows for quick disassembly and assembly of the electrical connections between the live and neutral wire connectors, the driver, and the controller, reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0023] An installation structure for a quick-connect CAT1 lighting controller, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a single lamp controller 1. One end of the single lamp controller 1 is fixedly connected to two sets of neutral and live wires 103. Each set of neutral and live wires 103 is fixedly connected to a copper wire 104. The outer wall of each set of copper wires 104 is fixedly connected to a necking thread 501. Each set of necking threads 501 is fixedly connected to the inside of a fastening cap 5. The inner wall of each set of fastening caps 5 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of a connector 6. One end of each set of connectors 6 is fixedly connected to a male connector 7. Each set of male connectors 7 is fixedly connected to a male electrode 8. The outer wall of each set of male electrodes 8 is movably connected to the outer wall of a female electrode 801. Each set of female electrodes 801 is fixedly connected to the inside of a female connector 701.
[0024] The outer insulation of the live and neutral wires 103 connected to the single lamp controller 1 is stripped to expose the copper wires 104. The fastening cap 5 is placed on the live and neutral wires 103 with the open side facing outwards. The necked teeth 501 inside the fastening cap 5 are close to the exposed copper wires 104. The female connector 701 is taken out. The connector 6 is fixed at the rear end of the female connector 701. The inner wall of the fastening cap 5 has internal threads, which can be tightened on the female connector 701. Thus, the installation of the two live and neutral wires 103 connectors is quickly completed.
[0025] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the copper wire 104 is slidably connected to the necking tooth 501, and the necking tooth 501 serves to tighten and fix the copper wire 104 when connected to the connector 6.
[0026] The outer ring of the connector 6 is threaded and the inside is a conical copper core. The copper wire 104 is inserted into the conical copper core and the fastening cap 5 is pushed up. The necking tooth 501 inside the fastening cap 5 is made of copper and is pressed against the conical copper core. It deforms with the conical surface and engages with the copper wire 104.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 After connector 6, a neutral and live wire 103 is provided. The other end of the neutral and live wire 103 is fixedly connected to a driver 3. The driver 3 plays a role in protection and current regulation. The driver 3 is fixedly connected to an LED light 4 through the neutral and live wire 103. The LED light 4 plays a role in lighting.
[0028] The driver 3 has two wires fixedly connected to its two ends. One end has two live and neutral wires 103 connected to the LED 4. The current input is to the circuit board set in the single lamp controller 1, and the current is shunted through the live and neutral wires 103 into the driver 3, so that the driver 3 can light up the LED 4.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One end of the single lamp controller 1 is fixedly connected to an antenna 2 by a nut. The antenna 2 serves to receive and transmit signals. The bottom of the lamp controller is fixedly connected to a mounting base 101, which serves to fix the lamp controller. One side of the single lamp controller 1 is fixedly connected to a power supply line 102, which serves to connect to an external power source for power supply.
[0030] The single lamp controller 1 has a mounting base 101 at its bottom, which fixes the single lamp controller 1 inside the device. At this time, the power supply line 102 is connected to the external power source, and the current is input to the circuit board inside the single lamp controller 1. The current is shunted and fed into the driver 3 through the neutral and live wires 103. The driver 3 lights up the LED lamp 4. The single lamp controller 1 can be connected to external electronic devices through the antenna 2 when powered on, so as to remotely control the switching of the LED lamp 4 and control the light intensity of the LED lamp 4.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the antenna 2 is installed on the single lamp controller 1 and fixed with a nut. The outer insulation of the live and neutral wires 103 connected to the single lamp controller 1 is stripped to expose the copper wires 104. The fastening cap 5 is put on the open side facing outward and on the live and neutral wires 103. The necked teeth 501 inside the fastening cap 5 are close to the exposed copper wires 104. Take out the female head 701. The rear end of the female head 701 is fixed with the connector 6. The outer ring of the end of the connector 6 is threaded and the inside is a conical copper core. Insert the copper wires 104 into the conical copper core and push the fastening cap 5 up. The necked teeth 501 inside the fastening cap 5 are made of copper and deform with the conical surface inside the conical copper core, biting onto the copper wires 104. The inner wall of the fastening cap 5 is provided with internal threads, which can be tightened on the female head 701. Thus, the installation of the two live and neutral wires 103 connectors is quickly completed.
[0032] Two live and neutral wires 103 are fixedly connected to both ends of the driver 3. One end of the two live and neutral wires 103 is connected to the LED 4, and the other end needs to strip the insulation on the live and neutral wires 103 and connect to the male connector 7 in the same way.
[0033] The female connector 701 has an arc-shaped groove, and a female electrode 801 is fixed inside. The tip of the conical copper core inside the connector 6 passes through the inside of the female connector 701 and connects to the female electrode 801. The male connector 7 has a semi-cylinder that matches the arc-shaped groove on the female connector 701. A male electrode 8 is installed on the semi-cylinder. The male electrode 8 passes through the male connector 7 and connects to the conical copper core fixed in the connector 6 at one end of the male connector 7.
[0034] The male connector 7 and the female connector 701 are respectively provided with hooks on the upper and lower surfaces. The female connector 701 has symmetrical recesses on both sides of the arc groove, while the male connector 7 has protrusions on both sides of the semi-cylinder that match the recesses of the female connector 701. The concave and convex design is conducive to dust and water protection. When wiring, align the semi-cylinder on the male connector 7 with the arc groove on the female connector 701, push it to the bottom and press it down so that the two hooks are respectively attached to the ends of the male connector 7 and the female connector 701, thus completing the connection between the driver 3 and the single lamp controller 1.
[0035] The single lamp controller 1 has a mounting base 101 at its bottom, which fixes the single lamp controller 1 inside the device. At this time, the power supply line 102 is connected to the external power source, and the current is input to the circuit board inside the single lamp controller 1. The current is shunted and fed into the driver 3 through the neutral and live wires 103. The driver 3 lights up the LED lamp 4. When the single lamp controller 1 is powered on, it can be connected to external electronic devices through the antenna 2 to achieve the function of remotely controlling the switching of the LED lamp 4 and controlling the light intensity of the LED lamp 4.
