Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of linear light technology, and more specifically, to a linear light. Background Technology
[0002] LEDs, as a high-efficiency and energy-saving semiconductor light-emitting device, have been widely used in various lighting applications due to their advantages such as long lifespan, high luminous efficiency, and low power consumption.
[0003] In large spaces such as tourist attractions, shopping malls, and train stations, it is often necessary to splice multiple linear lights along a straight line or a specific trajectory to form a continuous light strip.
[0004] However, existing linear lights have problems when splicing. The connectors of the linear lights are fixed at both ends, which means that when installing two linear lights, the ends of adjacent linear lights must be aligned, which cannot adapt to layout requirements such as curves and corners. Utility Model Content
[0005] The problem solved by this utility model is that the connector of the linear light is fixed at both ends of the linear light, which means that when two linear lights are installed, the ends of adjacent linear lights must be aligned, which cannot adapt to layout requirements such as arcs and corners.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a linear light, including a lampshade and a light source assembly disposed inside the lampshade; the lampshade has a first connector and a second connector at both ends along its length; the first connector includes a male connector, and the second connector includes a female connector adapted to the male connector; the first connector and the second connector are movable along the length of the lampshade, and at least a portion of the first connector and / or the second connector can extend to the outside of the lampshade; the first connector and the second connector are electrically connected to the light source assembly.
[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: When multiple linear lights are connected in series, the connectors of two linear lights need to be connected. In this case, the first connector of one linear light and the second connector of the other linear light are extended to the outside of the lampshade, and the male connection end of the first connector and the female connection end of the second connector are connected, thus completing the connection of the two linear lights. Since the first and second connectors can extend to the outside of the lampshade, it is not necessary to strictly align the ends of the linear lights during installation, which greatly improves installation efficiency. At the same time, since the first and second connectors can extend to the outside of the lampshade, the physical constraint of aligning two linear lights in a straight line for series connection is eliminated, so that the linear lights can not only support straight splicing, but also adapt to irregular layout requirements such as arcs and corners. In addition, the movable and modular design of the connectors makes maintenance more convenient and effectively reduces maintenance costs.
[0008] Furthermore, the lampshade has a first end cap and a second end cap at both ends along its length; the first end cap has a first opening, and the first connector extends to the outside of the lampshade through the first opening; the second end cap has a second opening, and the second connector extends to the outside of the lampshade through the second opening.
[0009] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: by setting a first opening on the first end cap and a second opening on the second end cap, the first connector and the second connector extend to the outside of the lampshade through the corresponding openings, ensuring that the connector extension and retraction process always moves stably along the length direction of the lampshade.
[0010] Furthermore, the linear light also includes a connecting clip, which is a U-shaped clip structure, comprising a first snap-fit part and a second snap-fit part; the first snap-fit part is used to snap with the first end cap, and the second snap-fit part is used to snap with the second end cap.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: when two linear lights need to be connected in a straight line, the end caps of the two linear lights can be abutted together, and then the connecting buckle can be used to lock the first and second end caps together, thereby fixing the two linear lights and preventing them from shifting or falling off due to loosening over a long period of use, ensuring that the connector is always accurately aligned.
[0012] Furthermore, the linear light also includes a protective cover, which is detachably mounted on the first connector and / or the second connector.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the protective cover provides protection for the exposed joint, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior of the joint and causing short circuits or oxidation, thereby improving the service life of the joint.
[0014] Furthermore, the linear light includes: a hanging structure, which includes interconnected fixing buckles and hanging ropes, with the fixing buckles slidably connected to the lampshade and the hanging ropes connected to the wall and ceiling.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the hanging position of the linear light can be adjusted by using a fixed buckle to slide the lampshade and a hanging rope to connect to the wall and ceiling.
[0016] Furthermore, the side wall of the lampshade is provided with a groove along its length, and the fixing buckle includes a protrusion corresponding to the groove, the protrusion being disposed in the groove so that the fixing buckle is slidably connected to the lampshade.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: a groove is set on the side wall of the lampshade, and the protruding part of the fixing buckle is embedded in the groove to form a straight guide track. During installation, the fixing buckle can be positioned by pushing along the groove, thereby improving the hoisting efficiency.
[0018] Furthermore, the hoisting structure also includes fasteners that pass through the sidewalls of the retaining clip and the lampshade to restrict relative sliding between the retaining clip and the lampshade.
[0019] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is that after the fixing buckle slides to the appropriate position in the slide groove, it is fixed by fasteners, thereby forming a mechanical lock between the fixing buckle and the lamp cover.
[0020] Furthermore, fasteners include fixing screws.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: using fixing screws as fasteners allows locking to be completed with a screwdriver, without the need for special tooling, thus lowering the installation threshold.
[0022] Furthermore, one end of the suspension rope is equipped with a hook for connecting to the top of the wall.
[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is that linear lights can be easily hung on the ceiling using a hanging clip.
[0024] Furthermore, the light source components include LED light panels.
[0025] By adopting the technical solution of this utility model, the following technical effects can be achieved:
[0026] (1) The first and second connectors can extend to the outside of the lampshade, so that the ends of the linear lights do not need to be strictly aligned during installation, which greatly improves the installation efficiency.
[0027] (2) The first and second connectors can extend to the outside of the lampshade, freeing them from the physical constraint of having to align and connect two linear lights in a straight line. This allows the linear lights to not only support straight-line splicing but also adapt to irregular layout requirements such as arcs and corners.
[0028] (3) The movable and modular design of the connector makes maintenance more convenient and effectively reduces maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0037] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] In the existing technology, multiple linear lights can be installed and spliced on the same straight line. However, the connectors of the linear lights are fixed at both ends of the linear lights, which means that when two linear lights are installed, the ends of adjacent linear lights must be aligned, thus making it impossible to adapt to layout requirements such as arcs and corners.
[0039] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a linear light, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a lampshade 100 and a light source assembly disposed inside the lampshade 100; the lampshade 100 has a first connector 110 and a second connector 120 at both ends along its length direction; the first connector 110 includes a male connector end, and the second connector 120 includes a female connector end adapted to the male connector end.
[0040] Specifically, the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are wire connectors located on both sides of the lampshade 100. The male connection end of the first connector 110 and the female connection end of the second connector 120 are electrically connected to the light source assembly, respectively. When two linear lights need to be connected in series, the first connector 110 of one linear light and the second connector 120 of the other linear light are connected in series through the male connection end of the first connector 110 and the female connection end of the second connector 120, thereby realizing the series connection of the two linear lights.
[0041] It should be noted that the male connector can be located on the second connector 120, while the female connector can be located on the first connector 110.
[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are further movable along the length of the lampshade, and at least a portion of the first connector 110 and / or the second connector 120 may extend to the outside of the lampshade.
[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the direct connection between the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 refers to the connection between the first connector 110 of one linear light and the second connector 120 of the other linear light when two linear lights need to be connected in series.
[0044] Specifically, the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 are electrically connected to the light source assembly inside the lampshade 100 via cables. The first connector 110, the second connector 120 and the cables connected thereto can be stored inside the lampshade 100. When it is necessary to connect two linear lights in series, the first connector 110 and part of the cable of one linear light, and the second connector 120 and part of the cable of the other linear light are moved out from inside the lampshade and connected in series.
[0045] Specifically, when two linear lights need to be connected in series at a certain distance, the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 can extend out of the lampshade 100 to connect the two linear lights. When two linear lights need to be installed in an arc or corner, the first connector 110 and the second connector 120 can extend out of the lampshade 100 to connect, and the cable connected by the first connector 110 and the cable connected by the second connector 120 can be bent to achieve the series connection of the two linear lights.
[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lampshade 100 is further provided with a first end cap 130 and a second end cap 140 at both ends along its length.
[0047] Specifically, the first end cap 130 is provided with a first opening 131, and the first connector 110 extends to the outside of the lampshade through the first opening 131; the second end cap 140 is provided with a second opening 141, and the second connector 120 extends to the outside of the lampshade through the second opening 141.
[0048] It should be noted that the shapes of the first opening 131 and the second opening 141 are such that the first connector 110 or the second connector 120 can pass through. In this embodiment, the shapes of the first opening 131 and the second opening 141 are rectangular.
[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the linear light further includes a connecting buckle 150, which is a U-shaped buckle structure, including a first engaging part 151 and a second engaging part 152; the first engaging part 151 is used to engage with the first end cap 130, and the second engaging part 152 is used to engage with the second end cap 140.
[0050] Specifically, the two ends of the U-shaped buckle structure are a first snap-fit part 151 and a second snap-fit part 152, respectively. The inner side of the first end cover 130 is provided with a first slot, and the inner side of the second end cover 140 is provided with a second slot. The first snap-fit part 151 can snap into the first slot, and the second snap-fit part 152 can snap into the second slot.
[0051] For example, when two linear lights need to be connected in a straight line, the connectors of the two linear lights can be connected in series first. Then, the first end cap 130 of one linear light and the second end cap 140 of the other linear light can be attached together. At this time, the first opening 131 of the first end cap 130 of one linear light and the second opening 141 of the second end cap 140 of the other linear light are connected to each other. The first connector 110 and the second connector 120 pass through the first opening 131 and the second opening 141. Then, the connecting buckle 150 can be installed from above the first opening 131 and the second opening 141, so that the first snap-fit part 151 snaps into the first slot and the second snap-fit part 152 snaps into the second slot. The U-shaped buckle structure of the connecting buckle 150 makes the first end cap 130 and the second end cap 140 abut against each other, thereby restricting the relative movement of the two linear lights.
[0052] Furthermore, the linear light also includes a protective cover, which is detachably mounted on the first connector and / or the second connector.
[0053] Specifically, the linear light in this embodiment also provides a protective cover for protecting the first connector and the second connector. When the linear light is used alone, the first connector and the second connector are not in use, and the protective cover can be installed on the first connector and the second connector. In addition, when multiple linear lights are connected in series, the first connector or the second connector of the linear lights at both ends are not in use, and the protective cover can be installed on the first connector or the second connector.
[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the linear light further includes: a hanging structure 200, which includes a fixing buckle 210 and a hanging rope 220 connected to each other. The fixing buckle 210 is slidably connected to the lampshade 100, and the hanging rope 220 is connected to the top of the wall.
[0055] Furthermore, a groove 160 is provided on the side wall of the lampshade 100 along its length direction, and the fixing buckle 210 includes a protrusion 211 corresponding to the groove. The protrusion 211 is disposed in the groove 160 so that the fixing buckle 210 is slidably connected to the lampshade 100.
[0056] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 In another embodiment of this utility model, the fixing buckle 210 includes two symmetrically arranged protrusions 211, and the side wall of the lampshade 100 is provided with two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 160. The protrusions 211 are fitted into the corresponding sliding grooves 160, so that the fixing buckle 210 is slidably connected to the lampshade 100. The user can adjust the position of the hanging rope 220 by sliding the fixing buckle 210, or adjust the position of the lampshade 100 by sliding the lampshade 100.
[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the hoisting structure 200 further includes a fastener 212 that passes through the retaining buckle 210 and the side wall of the lampshade 100 to limit the relative sliding between the retaining buckle 210 and the lampshade 100.
[0058] Specifically, fastener 212 includes fixing screws.
[0059] Specifically, when installing linear lights, a hanging structure 200 can be installed, and then the lampshade 100 can be installed on the fixing buckle 210. The lampshade can be slid to a suitable position, and then the fastener 212 can be installed on the fixing buckle 210 and the lampshade 100 to fix the fixing buckle 210 to the lampshade 100.
[0060] Furthermore, one end of the suspension rope 220 is provided with a hook 221 for connecting to the top of the wall.
[0061] Specifically, to ensure that the rope will not break, steel wire rope or similar materials can be used for the 220 lifting rope.
[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the light source assembly further includes an LED light panel 300, which is disposed at the bottom of the lampshade.
[0063] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
