Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of linear light technology, and specifically relates to a linear light docking connection structure that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Linear lights are a common type of lighting and decorative fixture. They generally consist of a lamp body, a light source plate inside the lamp body, and end caps fixed to both ends of the lamp body with screws. Since the length of linear lights is fixed, but different lengths are required in actual applications, multiple linear lights need to be spliced ​​together. In existing technology, the ends of multiple linear lights are fixed with screws during splicing, and adjacent linear lights are electrically connected by wires. Although this can meet the general usage needs, it is not convenient to disassemble and assemble, and the conductive wires are also prone to damage, affecting the stability and effectiveness of power supply, making it difficult to meet market demands. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient installation method for linear light docking connection structure that is reasonably designed and easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0004] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is a convenient linear light docking connection structure, including a male end connector and a female end connector fixed to the end of the light body by screws. The outer side of the male end connector is provided with a number of parallel insertion guide grooves. At least one insertion guide groove has an integrally formed locking protrusion on the upper part of its inner wall, and at least one of the insertion guide grooves has a conductive spring sheet on its inner wall.

[0005] The outer surface of the female connector is integrally formed with a plug-in protrusion that mates with the groove of the plug-in guide rail;

[0006] The upper part of the side wall of the insertion protrusion is integrally formed with a snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the side of the insertion protrusion is provided with a conductive contact piece that cooperates with the conductive spring piece.

[0007] Both the male and female terminals have an integrated circuit board fixed inside, and the integrated circuit board in the male terminal is electrically connected to the conductive spring, while the current collector circuit board in the female terminal is electrically connected to the conductive contact.

[0008] When adjacent lamp bodies are spliced, the insertion protrusion of the female end connector is slidably connected in the insertion guide groove, and is positioned by the locking protrusion engaging with the locking protrusion. At the same time, the conductive spring and the conductive contact are electrically connected by pressure.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment is that the side edges of the male and female connectors are integrally formed with limiting protrusions that can be inserted into the lamp body;

[0010] The male and female connectors are inserted into the ends of the lamp body via limiting protrusions and are fixed with screws.

[0011] A further preferred embodiment is that the inner wall of the insertion guide groove is provided with a spring plate mounting slot, and the conductive spring plate is positioned and locked in the spring plate mounting slot.

[0012] The insertion protrusion is provided with a contact positioning slot, and the conductive contact is positioned within the contact positioning slot.

[0013] A further preferred embodiment is that the width of the insertion guide groove matches the total thickness of the insertion protrusion and the snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0014] A further preferred embodiment is that both the male and female connectors are insulating plastic structures.

[0015] This utility model has positive effects: Its structure is rationally designed. The male connector uses a grooved guide rail to engage with the female connector's protruding strip, along with a locking buckle and a locking protrusion. During connection, the protruding strip slides within the grooved guide rail and is positioned by the locking buckle and locking protrusion, improving the convenience and stability of the connection. Furthermore, in conjunction with conductive springs and conductive contacts, it enables electrical connection, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly, improving efficiency, avoiding wiring confusion, preventing wire damage, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of the connection, and possessing strong applicability.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0025] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a convenient linear light connection structure includes a male connector 1 and a female connector 2 fixed to the ends of different light bodies by screws. In this embodiment, the light body has a conventional structure of the prior art, so it is not described in detail. Both the male and female connectors are insulated plastic structures. Furthermore, to facilitate connection and positioning with the light body, the side edges of the male and female connectors are integrally formed with limiting protrusions 3 that insert into the light body. The male and female connectors are inserted into the ends of the light body through the limiting protrusions and fixed by screws.

[0026] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the male connector is provided with a plurality of parallel insertion guide grooves 4, and at least one insertion guide groove has a locking protrusion 5 integrally formed on the upper part of its inner wall, and at least one insertion guide groove has a conductive spring piece 6 provided on its inner wall; and the outer surface of the female connector is integrally formed with an insertion protrusion 7 that mates with the insertion guide groove; the upper part of the side wall of the insertion protrusion is integrally formed with a locking protrusion 8, and the side of the insertion protrusion has a conductive contact piece 9 that mates with the conductive spring piece; in this embodiment, the outer surface refers to the side away from the lamp body, and the width and thickness of the locking protrusion and the locking protrusion are matched, mainly for mutual locking and positioning during connection; the width of the insertion guide groove is matched with the total thickness of the insertion protrusion and the locking protrusion. During assembly, the insertion protrusion and the snap-fit ​​protrusion extend together into the insertion guide groove, and then slide to make the snap-fit ​​protrusion engage with the snap-fit ​​buckle. The above structure is only used for connecting adjacent linear lights. As for fixing the linear lights, they can be installed through the structure on the light body.

[0027] Furthermore, in practical applications, both the male and female connectors contain an integrated circuit board 10. In this embodiment, the integrated circuit board is fixed with screws, and the integrated circuit board in the male connector is electrically connected to the conductive spring, while the current collector board in the female connector is electrically connected to the conductive contact. During assembly, when adjacent lamp bodies are joined, the insertion protrusion of the female connector slides within the insertion guide groove and is positioned by engaging with the locking protrusion. Simultaneously, the conductive spring and the conductive contact are electrically connected by pressure. The integrated circuit board is a conventional structure of existing technology, simply applied. The integrated circuit boards in the male and female connectors are identical, differing only in the shape of the conductive contact and conductive spring, both electrically connected to the light source board within the lamp body for power supply operation.

[0028] In this embodiment, a spring mounting slot 11 is provided on the inner wall of the insertion guide groove, and the conductive spring is positioned within the spring mounting slot; a contact positioning slot 12 is provided on the insertion protrusion, and the conductive contact is positioned within the contact positioning slot. The spring mounting slot and contact positioning slot are mainly used to install the corresponding conductive spring and conductive contact, allowing the conductive spring and conductive contact to extend beyond the surfaces of the insertion guide groove and insertion protrusion. This allows the conductive contact and conductive spring to deform during connection, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of power extraction.

[0029] This utility model has positive effects: Its structure is rationally designed. The male connector uses a grooved guide rail to engage with the female connector's protruding strip, along with a locking buckle and a locking protrusion. During connection, the protruding strip slides within the grooved guide rail and is positioned by the locking buckle and locking protrusion, improving the convenience and stability of the connection. Furthermore, in conjunction with conductive springs and conductive contacts, it enables electrical connection, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly, improving efficiency, avoiding wiring confusion, preventing wire damage, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of the connection, and possessing strong applicability.

[0030] The standard parts used in this embodiment can be purchased directly from the market, and the non-standard structural parts described in the instruction manual can also be processed without any doubt based on existing technical common sense. At the same time, the connection methods of each component adopt mature conventional methods in the existing technology, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
