Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LED light strip technology, and more specifically to an LED light strip with an added waterproof structure. Background Technology

[0002] Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have advantages such as energy saving, high efficiency, fast response time, long lifespan, and are mercury-free and environmentally friendly, making them widely used in the lighting industry. For example, they can be made into LED light strips for ambient lighting. Specifically, LED light strips refer to LEDs assembled on a strip-shaped FPC (flexible printed circuit board) or PCB (rigid PCB), named for their strip-like shape. LED light strips mainly consist of LED chips, a circuit board, a housing, and a power supply. The LED chip is the key component, responsible for converting electrical energy into light energy; the circuit board supports and connects the LED chips and also contains control circuitry; the housing protects the circuitry and chips and provides heat dissipation and waterproofing; the power supply provides power to the light strip.

[0003] For example, the LED light strip with prior art disclosure number CN221121944U uses a silicone sleeve made of flexible silicone material, which is not only waterproof but also easy to bend. The light-emitting units in the silicone sleeve enable the modular design of the light board. Each light-emitting unit is set separately and connected by wires, so adjacent light-emitting units can perform three-dimensional movements such as relative rotation, thus solving the problem of three-dimensional bending of the LED light strip.

[0004] However, the existing technology described above still has the following problems when used: when traditional LED light strips are connected in series, the connectors and sockets on the two connected LED light strips are directly exposed, making them susceptible to moisture and short circuits, which seriously affects the lifespan of the LED light strips. Based on this, this utility model provides an LED light strip with an added waterproof structure to improve its waterproof performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, this utility model provides an LED light strip with an added waterproof structure. The sealing assembly, consisting of a corrugated tube, a ring plate, and a connecting ring, provides a waterproof seal between the connected connector and the connector seat, preventing moisture corrosion of the connector and connector seat from affecting electrical safety. At the same time, the rubber corrugated tube has excellent elasticity, which can adapt to the bending deformation of the light strip and meet the needs of flexible layout, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an LED light strip with an added waterproof structure, comprising a light strip body, wherein a connector and a connector seat are fixedly provided on both sides of the light strip body, and sealing components for improving the waterproofness of the connector and connector seat are provided on both sides of the light strip body, wherein the sealing components include a corrugated tube, wherein annular plates are fixedly provided at both ends of the corrugated tube, and connecting rings are fitted on the outer walls of the two annular plates, wherein the connector and connector seat penetrate the connecting ring and extend outward from the outer side of the connecting ring, and an annular groove is provided on the inner wall of each connecting ring, wherein a first rubber sealing ring is provided inside each annular groove for improving the waterproofness between the connecting ring and the connector and connector seat.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, each connecting ring has a plurality of first fixing holes arranged in a ring array on its outer wall, and each first fixing hole is provided with a first bolt. The connecting ring is detachably fixed to the ring plate by the plurality of first bolts.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a second rubber sealing ring is provided between each ring plate and each connecting ring to fill the gap between them, and the second rubber sealing ring is located outside the first bolt. The sealing performance between the ring plate and the connecting ring can be improved by using the second rubber sealing ring.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, each connecting ring has multiple second fixing holes arranged in a ring array on its outer wall. Each second fixing hole is equipped with a second bolt. Multiple connecting rings are detachably connected to the connecting head and the connecting seat by the second bolts, which facilitates the disassembly of the connecting rings from the connecting head and the connecting seat for maintenance.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the light strip body includes a light strip, and a plurality of equally spaced LED beads are fixedly disposed on the top of the light strip. A transparent film is adhered to the top of the light strip, and a positioning groove corresponding to the LED beads is formed on the transparent film. The LED beads are disposed inside the positioning groove. By adhering a layer of transparent film to the surface of the light strip, the transparent film can wrap multiple LED beads, thereby achieving a waterproof function.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, each ring plate and each connecting ring are made of hard plastic, which gives both the ring plate and the connecting ring a certain degree of rigidity, thereby facilitating connection and fixation. Each corrugated pipe is made of rubber, which is elastic and can adapt to the bending requirements of the laying.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses a sealing assembly composed of a corrugated pipe, a ring plate, and a connecting ring to seal and waterproof between the connected connector and the connector seat, preventing water vapor from corroding the connector and the connector seat and affecting electrical safety. At the same time, the rubber corrugated pipe has excellent elasticity and can adapt to the bending and deformation of the light strip, meeting the needs of flexible layout.

[0014] 2. The first bolt connects the ring plate to the connecting ring, and the second bolt connects the connecting ring to the connector and the connector seat. This allows for quick disassembly and replacement by subsequent staff, making maintenance very fast. Attached Figure Description
