Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water lighting equipment, specifically an LED water lighting device. Background Technology

[0002] A home aquarium is a small, enclosed water container designed specifically for home environments. It is usually made of glass or acrylic and is used to house ornamental aquatic life (such as fish, aquatic plants, and corals) and as a home decoration.

[0003] With the increasing popularity of home aquariums (such as fish tanks and planted aquariums with rectangular shapes), the accompanying lighting equipment needs to balance functionality, safety, and aesthetics. Traditional aquatic lighting fixtures have several drawbacks. First, most aquatic lighting fixtures are mainly one-piece lamp holders with fixed lengths that cannot be adjusted, lacking adjustability and unable to flexibly adapt to different sizes of rectangular tanks. When users change to a larger or smaller tank, they need to purchase the corresponding size of the lamp holder, resulting in resource waste. Users need to repeatedly purchase lamp holders for different tank sizes. Second, the power cord hangs directly around the tank, which can easily come into contact with the water and cause leakage (when there is local damage). In addition, the lamp holder and the bracket are highly integrated, and if a part is damaged, the whole thing needs to be replaced, which is costly. Therefore, an LED aquatic lighting device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an LED aquatic lighting device in this embodiment is installed on a home aquarium 2. It includes a U-shaped frame 1, and there are two sets of U-shaped frames 1. The two sets of U-shaped frames 1 are arranged at intervals. In practical applications, it is set on the top of the tank wall of the home aquarium 2. The home aquarium 2 refers to a square tank such as a fish tank or a planted aquarium. In order to fix the U-shaped frame 1 to the home aquarium 2, a threaded hole is opened on the outside of the U-shaped frame 1. The inner side of the threaded hole is connected to a limit bolt 3. The limit bolt 3 consists of a threaded post and a screw cap. In this way, the U-shaped frame 1 can be fixed to the home aquarium 2 simply by rotating the screw cap. With this design, the mechanical locking replaces the elastic clamp or suction cup in the prior art, which significantly improves the rigid connection stability with the tank wall.

[0027] Further explanation: Support tubes 4 are fixed on the U-shaped frame 1. Each support tube 4 consists of an integrated vertical section, a horizontal support section, and a rounded transition section. The vertical and horizontal support sections are connected by the rounded transition section. Each U-shaped frame 1 has two sets of support tubes 4, and each support tube 4 has an inner hole. With this design, the LED aquatic lighting equipment also includes a lamp holder plate 5. LED lights 6 are installed at the bottom of the lamp holder plate 5 for illumination. Extension columns 7 are fixed on both the left and right sides of the lamp holder plate 5, with the total number of extension columns 7 being the same as the number of support tubes 4, i.e., four. It should be noted that the extension columns 7 can be inserted into the inner holes. Thus, through sliding cooperation, the overall stepless length adjustment is achieved, allowing the LED aquatic lighting equipment to adapt to a certain range of home aquariums 2. This range is determined by the length of the horizontal support section. Specifically, the range difference must not exceed the sum of the lengths of the two sets of horizontal support sections. For example, if the length of the horizontal support section is 20 centimeters, the range difference must not exceed 40 centimeters.

[0028] In the preferred embodiment, to ensure no slippage after adjustment, a magnet 8 is detachably installed in the inner hole. The magnet 8 is a hollow cylinder, and an extension post 7 is located inside the magnet 8. The extension post 7 is made of iron or nickel, meaning that the extension post 7 can be magnetically connected to the magnet 8. The detachable magnet 8 is described as follows: First, an extension sleeve 41 is integrally connected to the end of the support tube 4. The outer side of the extension sleeve 41 is provided with external threads, and the outer thread of the extension sleeve 41 is connected to a locking part 81. The magnet 8 is fixedly connected to the locking part 81. Thus, by rotating, the locking part 81 can be threadedly connected to the outer side of the extension sleeve 41, achieving the purpose of placing the magnet 8 in the inner hole. Furthermore, under normal conditions, the extension post 7 is limited by the magnetic connection between the extension post 7 and the magnet 8, ensuring that the extension post 7 will not slip arbitrarily.

[0029] In addition, a power cable 9 is provided on one side of the lamp holder plate 5 to manage the power cable 9 and prevent the power cable from hanging directly, easily coming into contact with the water or getting tangled in the aquascaping equipment due to its excessive length. In one embodiment, the LED aquatic lighting equipment also includes a wire harness structure for harnessing the power cable 9. The wire harness structure includes two sets of rings 10 fixedly set on the outside of two sets of support tubes 4 on either side. There are two sets of rings 10 on the outside of each support tube 4. A wire harness plate 11 is fixed between the four sets of rings 10. Multiple wire harness seats 12 with wire grooves are fixed on the wire harness plate 11. With this design, the wire harness can be clamped into the wire groove, preventing the wire from coming into contact with the water, reducing cable mess, and improving the overall aesthetics and safety of the equipment.

[0030] The installation and fixing process of the LED water lighting equipment is as follows: adjust the spacing of the two sets of U-shaped frames 1 according to the width of the tank to ensure stable support, place the two sets of U-shaped frames 1 across the top of the tank walls on both sides of the home ornamental aquarium 2, and lock the tank walls by rotating the limiting bolts 3 on the outside of the U-shaped frames 1 to achieve rigid fixation.

[0031] The LED water lighting equipment adjusts the position of the lamp plate by using a sliding adjustment method, moving the lamp holder plate 5 laterally along the support tube 4.

[0032] The magnet 8 of the LED water lighting equipment is installed, removed, and maintained by rotating the locking part 81 at the end of the support tube 4 and removing the magnet 8 on the outside of the extension sleeve 41 through the threaded connection.

[0033] Cable management for the LED water lighting equipment: Insert the power cable 9 of the lamp holder plate 5 into the cable tray of the cable tie 12 to prevent it from falling and getting wet, and reduce clutter.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
