[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1This is an exploded view of the structure of a quick connector according to an embodiment of this application. The quick connector includes a terminal wire 1, a PC shell 2, and a connecting shell 3. The terminal wire 1 includes multiple copper sheets 11 for contacting copper foil on a lamp board 10. The connecting shell 3 has openings for fixing the lamp board 10. The PC shell 2 includes a housing 21 and a PC buckle 22. The terminal wire 1 and the connecting shell 3 are disposed inside the housing 21. The PC buckle 22 fastens the terminal wire 1 and the connecting shell 3 to ensure that the copper sheets 11 contact the copper foil on the lamp board 10.

[0019] In this embodiment, the terminal wire 1 is made of multiple copper sheets 11 through injection molding and coating process, preferably using two copper sheets 11. PC refers to polycarbonate (PC), which is a high molecular polymer containing carbonate groups in its molecular chain. It is the only transparent non-crystalline material among the five major engineering plastics.

[0020] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a quick connector according to an embodiment of the present application. The copper sheet 11 includes a piercing structure for close contact with the copper foil on the lamp board 10. The piercing structure includes a sub-copper sheet 111 and a piercing portion 112; the copper foil is provided with a piercing area 20 for the piercing portion 112 to pierce; one end of the piercing portion 112 is fixed to the sub-copper sheet 111, and by pressing the sub-copper sheet 111, the other end of the piercing portion 112 pierces through the piercing area 20, thereby connecting the copper sheet 11 to the lamp board 10.

[0021] In this embodiment, the copper sheet 11 is designed with a piercing structure, which allows it to make close contact with the copper foil on the lamp board 10, significantly enhancing the reliability of the power supply contact. Typically, the copper sheet 11 can be positioned to abut against the inside of the PC clip 22. Thus, when installing the PC clip 22, the copper sheet 11 is pressed down simultaneously, causing the piercing part 112 to penetrate the piercing area 20. The piercing structure primarily employs a snap-fit ​​installation method, which utilizes elastic deformation to achieve engagement, offering advantages such as low cost and ease of processing.

[0022] In addition, the copper sheet 11 can also be configured with the following piercing structure: the piercing structure includes a first sub-copper sheet, a second sub-copper sheet, and a piercing part; a space is formed between the first sub-copper sheet and the second sub-copper sheet to accommodate the copper foil, the piercing part is disposed in the space, one end of the piercing part is fixed to the first sub-copper sheet and perpendicular to the first sub-copper sheet, the copper foil, the first sub-copper sheet and the second sub-copper sheet are parallel to each other, and the other end of the piercing part pierces the copper foil and the second sub-copper sheet by pressing the first sub-copper sheet and / or the second sub-copper sheet, thereby connecting the copper sheet 11 to the lamp board 10.

[0023] The PC shell 2 also includes silicone, which fills the shell 21.

[0024] In this embodiment, silicone (or silicone rubber, silicone sealant) is a commonly used waterproof material. Due to its excellent elasticity, weather resistance, high temperature resistance, and chemical stability, it is widely used in sealing, bonding, and waterproofing applications. Preferably, one-third of the PC shell 2 is filled with special silicone, specifically, the volume of the shell 21 is filled with silicone to achieve a waterproof effect. After curing, the silicone forms a flexible waterproof layer that effectively isolates water vapor and liquid penetration. The temperature resistance range of cured silicone is typically -50℃ to 200℃ (some high-temperature silicones can reach 300℃). It also has aging resistance, UV resistance, and oxidation resistance, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use. Furthermore, it has adhesive properties, allowing it to bond to various materials such as glass, metal, ceramics, and plastics.

[0025] The PC buckle 22 has a terminal buckle 221 and a connecting buckle 222 at both ends. The terminal wire 1 has a terminal fastening part 12 that cooperates with the terminal buckle 221 on one side. The connecting shell 3 has a connecting fastening part 31 that cooperates with the connecting buckle 222 on one side.

[0026] In this embodiment, the PC buckle 22 is made of high-performance PC material and features a fastening lock, a terminal anti-detachment mechanism, and a light strip anti-detachment mechanism. The overall structure is simple and easy to install. The cross-section of the PC buckle 22 is "door" shaped. During installation, simply snap the terminal wire 1 and the connecting shell 3 onto the PC buckle 22 from below. The terminal fastening part 12 and the connecting fastening part 31 are only connected to their upper surfaces. The two sides are respectively fastened to the terminals of the terminal fastening part 12 and the connecting fastening part 31, achieving separate installation without interference. The PC buckle can be fastened to the terminal wire 1 and the connecting shell 3 using a snap-on installation method or a slide-lock installation method. The slide-lock method locks the connection by sliding or pushing, similar to some power cord or data cable interfaces, and has the feature of preventing accidental contact, but requires precise alignment.

[0027] In summary, this solution addresses the issue of solid LED strips being unable to effectively waterproof after being cut short. Users can easily light the strips with simple operations, and the assembly process is efficient and quick. Installation can be completed using either snap-on or sliding fasteners, achieving a solderless connection for solid LED strips, simplifying the installation process, and improving ease of use and reliability.

[0028] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this application should still be covered by the claims of this application.
