Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of light strip technology, and in particular relates to an umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of lighting decoration, LED strips, as a flexible and efficient lighting element, have become an indispensable component of five major advantageous markets—advertising, decoration, construction, commercial, and gifts—thanks to their diverse application characteristics. Currently, the most common types of LED strips on the market include extruded LED strips and sleeved LED strips. Extruded LED strips are typically formed by extruding the lamp body material and embedding the light-emitting element inside; sleeved LED strips encapsulate the light-emitting element within a flexible or rigid sleeve. Both types of LED strips have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios, playing important lighting and decorative roles in different fields.

[0003] Flexible LED strips, as an important branch of LED strip products, possess numerous significant advantages. They exhibit excellent bending resistance, functioning normally under varying degrees of bending without damaging internal circuitry or affecting luminous efficacy. Furthermore, flexible LED strips demonstrate strong weather resistance, adapting to harsh environmental conditions such as high temperatures, low temperatures, and humidity, maintaining stable performance and a long lifespan. In addition, the length of flexible LED strips can be arbitrarily cut, allowing users to flexibly adjust the strip length to meet the lighting and decorative requirements of different scenarios. Moreover, their installation is convenient, quickly fixing them to various object surfaces or embedding them into specific installation structures, greatly improving installation efficiency. Based on these advantages, flexible LED strips are widely used in building outlines, bridges, railings, hotels, gardens, dance halls, advertising decorations, and many other places, adding unique visual effects and artistic atmosphere to these environments.

[0004] Existing LED strip end caps, whether glued or one-piece molded, have significant waterproofing defects in practical use. Glue-applied end caps require manual application of adhesive during installation to achieve a seal; however, due to variations in manual operation, the amount and evenness of the adhesive application are difficult to guarantee. This can lead to gaps between the LED strip and the end cap, preventing a completely sealed environment. In humid or rainy environments, moisture can easily seep into the LED strip through these gaps, damaging internal electronic components and affecting the strip's lifespan and performance. While one-piece molded end caps reduce manual error to some extent, their structural design limitations mean that tiny gaps may still exist at the connection point with the LED strip, failing to effectively prevent moisture intrusion and resulting in less than ideal waterproofing.

[0005] Meanwhile, due to differences in installation conditions and fixing methods across various locations, existing LED strips often exhibit noticeable gaps between the product and the fixing components or mounting grooves after installation. For products with sealant plugs, during installation, to ensure a tight connection between the plug and the LED strip, the plug portion sometimes needs to be exposed. This not only detracts from the overall aesthetics of the LED strip but also makes it appear less neat and harmonious. Furthermore, these gaps not only affect appearance but can also become accumulation points for dust and debris, further impacting the performance and lifespan of the LED strip. Especially in locations with high aesthetic requirements, such as hotels and shopping malls, these gaps can severely affect the overall decorative effect and reduce the user experience.

[0006] Therefore, the inventors dedicated themselves to designing a light strip to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip that not only has good waterproof performance, effectively preventing water from seeping into the light strip and protecting the internal electronic components from damage, but also improves the overall aesthetics of the product and can effectively cover up imperfections that occur during the installation process.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] An umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip includes a light body, with two corresponding side edges at the top of the light body extending outward to form main eaves. The head and tail of the light body are respectively covered with plugs, and each plug has a shielding head at the top. The outer edge of the shielding head extends outward to form side eaves. The two main eaves and the two side eaves are sealed together to form a continuous closed annular waterproof structure.

[0010] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, the two shielding heads are symmetrically arranged, each shielding head is semi-circular and its top is protruding, and the plug and the corresponding shielding head are integrally thermo-cured by liquid silicone injection to form a semi-umbrella shape.

[0011] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, a cable is threaded through the plug at the head of the light body. The cable is arranged along the axial direction of the light body and electrically connected to the light strip of the light body. The connection end of the cable is integrally formed with the plug at the head of the light body.

[0012] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, the light body includes a flexible lamp holder and a light-transmitting cover plate. The light-transmitting cover plate is disposed on the light-transmitting area on the top of the flexible lamp holder and is located between the two shielding heads.

[0013] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, the cross-section of the light-transmitting cover plate is crescent-shaped, and the two main eaves are formed by extending outward from the two corresponding length directions of the light-transmitting cover plate.

[0014] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, the flexible lamp holder and the plug are jointly fitted with a base body, and both the flexible lamp holder and the plug are engaged with the base body.

[0015] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, the flexible lamp holder includes a light-transmitting shell, a light strip, and a light-shielding component. The light strip is fixed to the bottom of the light-transmitting shell, and the light-shielding component is a U-shaped structure with an open top. The light-shielding component is sleeved on the light-transmitting shell to block the sides of the light-transmitting shell and the bottom of the light strip.

[0016] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, the light-transmitting shell is placed over the open opening at the top of the light-shielding component, and the outer convex surface at the top of the light-transmitting shell and the inner concave surface at the bottom of the light-transmitting cover plate are arc-shaped to fit together.

[0017] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, the light strip includes a light plate and light beads disposed on the light plate. The light plate covers the bottom of the light-transmitting shell to form a light source fixing cavity. The light beads are located in the light source fixing cavity. The light-transmitting shell is provided with a light transmission enhancement cavity along its axial direction. The light transmission enhancement cavity is located between the light source fixing cavity and the light-transmitting cover plate.

[0018] As an improvement of the umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model, the light-shielding component includes two light-shielding plates, which are symmetrically arranged and both are L-shaped, and the fixing strip at the bottom of the light strip is sandwiched between the two light-shielding plates.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model's umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip features main eaves extending outward from the two corresponding side edges at the top of the light body. Simultaneously, plugs are placed at the head and tail of the light body, each plug topped with a shielding head. The outer edge of the shielding head extends outward to form side eaves. The two main eaves and two side eaves are sealed together to form a continuous, closed annular waterproof structure. This design not only achieves highly efficient waterproofing with a protection level of IP67, effectively preventing moisture from penetrating the light strip and protecting internal electronic components from damage, but also, after installation, the rounded umbrella-shaped edges of the plugs and the light body effectively conceal any imperfections that may occur during installation, greatly improving the overall aesthetics and user experience of the product.

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are for reference and illustration only and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of patent protection of this utility model.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 12 An umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip includes a light body 1 and two plugs. The top two corresponding side edges of the light body 1 extend outward to form a main awning 61. The two plugs cover the head and tail of the light body 1 respectively. Each plug has a shielding head at the top. The outer edge of each shielding head extends outward to form a side awning. The two main awnings 61 and the two side awnings are sealed together to form a continuous closed annular waterproof structure.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 The lamp body 1 of this utility model is elongated and has excellent bending resistance. The length can be cut arbitrarily. The lamp body 1 includes a flexible lamp holder 14 and a light-transmitting cover plate 6. The flexible lamp holder 14 is elongated and its top is its light-transmitting area. The light-transmitting cover plate 6 is placed on the light-transmitting area on the top of the flexible lamp holder 14. The light-transmitting cover plate 6 is located between two shielding heads. The light-transmitting cover plate 6 is elongated and its cross-section is crescent-shaped. The two main shielding eaves 61 are formed by extending outward from the two corresponding length edges of the light-transmitting cover plate 6. The inner wall of the light-transmitting cover plate 6 (i.e., the side near the flexible lamp holder 14) is provided with two first inclined surfaces 62 along its length direction. The two first inclined surfaces 62 are arranged in a figure-eight shape.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11The flexible lamp holder 14 includes a light-transmitting shell 12, a lamp strip 112, and a light-shielding component. The light-transmitting shell 12, lamp strip 112, and light-shielding component are all elongated. The lamp strip 112 includes a lamp plate 11 and multiple lamp beads 111. The lamp plate 11 is an elongated FPC board. All the lamp beads 111 are arranged in a row at intervals along the length of the lamp plate 11. A groove is provided at the bottom of the light-transmitting shell 12 along its length. The lamp plate 11 covers the groove at the bottom of the light-transmitting shell 12 to form a light source fixing cavity 121. All the lamp beads 111 are located within the light source fixing cavity 121 and point towards the light-transmitting cover plate 6. A light-transmitting enhancement cavity 122 is provided along the axial direction of the light-transmitting shell 12. This light-transmitting enhancement cavity 122 is located between the light source fixing cavity 121 and the light-transmitting cover plate. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting enhancement cavity 122 is located directly above the light source fixing cavity 121. The light-transmitting enhancement cavity 122 can be coated with multiple layers of film (such as alternating deposition of high refractive index material TiO2 and low refractive index material SiO2) on its inner wall to reduce reflected light by utilizing the principle of light interference, thereby improving light transmittance. Alternatively, micro-nano-scale textures (such as conical, columnar, or gradient structures) can be designed on its inner wall to control the direction of light scattering, reduce reflection and absorption, and improve light transmittance. The outer convex surface at the top of the light-transmitting housing 12 is an elongated arc shape, and the outer convex surface at the top of the light-transmitting housing 12 and the inner concave surface at the bottom of the light-transmitting cover plate 6 are arc-shaped to match. The light emitted by the lamp bead 111 can pass through the light-transmitting enhancement cavity 122 to improve light transmittance and then be emitted outward from the top of the light-transmitting cover plate 6.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The light-shielding component is a U-shaped structure with an open top (U-shaped cross-section). The light-shielding component is fitted onto the light-transmitting housing 12 to block the sides of the light-transmitting housing 12 and the bottom of the lamp strip 112. The light-transmitting housing 12 covers the open top of the light-shielding component. Specifically, the light-shielding component includes two light-shielding plates 13. The two light-shielding plates 13 are symmetrically arranged and each is long and L-shaped (L-shaped cross-section). The fixing strip 113 at the bottom of the lamp plate 11 is sandwiched between the two light-shielding plates 13. Each light-shielding plate 13 has a second inclined surface 132 at its top. The second inclined surfaces 132 on the two light-shielding plates 13 are symmetrically arranged in a figure-eight shape and correspond one-to-one with the two first inclined surfaces 62. Each light-shielding plate 13 has a long strip-shaped first slot 131 along its length on its outer side. The main awning 61 extends to the outside of the light-shielding plate 13.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The two plugs are symmetrically arranged, specifically a lamp head plug 2 and a lamp tail plug 3. The lamp head plug 2 covers the head end face of the lamp body 1, and the lamp tail plug 3 covers the tail end face of the lamp body 1. The two shielding heads are specifically a first shielding head 21 and a second shielding head 31, which are symmetrically arranged. Both the first shielding head 21 and the second shielding head 31 are semi-circular with protruding tops. The first shielding head 21 is located on the top of the lamp head plug 2 and is integrally thermoformed with the lamp head plug 2 using liquid silicone injection molding to form a semi-umbrella shape. A cable 4 is threaded through the lamp head plug 2. The cable 4 is arranged along the axial direction of the lamp body 1 and is electrically connected to the lamp strip 112 of the lamp body 1. The connection end of the cable 4 is integrally formed with the lamp head plug 2. The corresponding sides are provided with second slots 22 respectively. The second shielding head 31 is set on the top of the lamp tail plug 3 and is integrally thermoformed with the lamp tail plug 3 by liquid silicone injection to form a semi-umbrella shape. The two side shields of this utility model are specifically a second side shield 311 and a first side shield 211. The first side shield 211 extends outward from the outer edge of the first shielding head 21, and the second side shield 311 extends outward from the outer edge of the second shielding head 31. The first side shield 211 and the second side shield 311 are connected by two main shields 61 to form a continuous closed annular waterproof structure. The two corresponding sides of the lamp tail plug 3 are provided with third slots 32 respectively. The second slot 22, the first slot 131 and the third slot 32 on the same side are sequentially connected to form a long slot.

[0040] Reference Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In addition to the flexible lamp holder 14, lamp head plug 2, and lamp tail plug 3, the present invention can also be fitted with a base body 5.

The second locking groove 22, the first locking groove 131, and the third locking groove 32 on the same side are all engaged with the locking platform 51. In the present invention, the base body 5 can be used as part of the light strip, or as an accessory for installing the light strip. Alternatively, the light strip without the base body 5 can be directly installed in the installation groove on the wall of the building (the inner wall of the installation groove is provided with a locking platform 51).

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 12 The umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip of this utility model is a flexible light strip. The light body 1 can be cut according to actual use needs, and then the lamp head plug 2 and the lamp tail plug 3 can be flexibly installed to finally form an umbrella shape.

[0042] This utility model relates to an umbrella-shaped waterproof light strip, which effectively solves the problems of waterproofing and aesthetics in existing light strips through a unique structural design. The top two corresponding side edges of the light strip body 1 extend outwards to form main eaves 61. Simultaneously, the head and tail of the light strip body 1 are respectively covered with plugs, each plug having a shielding head at its top, and the outer edge of the shielding head extending outwards to form side eaves. The two main eaves 61 and the two side eaves are sealed together to form a continuous, closed annular waterproof structure. This design not only achieves highly efficient waterproofing, with a protection level of IP67, effectively preventing water from seeping into the light strip and protecting the internal electronic components from damage; but also, after installation, because both the plugs and the light strip body 1 have rounded umbrella-shaped edges, they can effectively conceal imperfections that occur during installation, greatly improving the overall aesthetics and user experience of the product.

[0043] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
