Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lamp bodies, and in particular to a series-connectable lamp tube with male and female plugs. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the dimensions of lamp bodies are generally determined according to national standards. However, for users who need longer lamp tubes, manufacturers need to customize molds to meet their requirements, which is very costly and time-consuming. Alternatively, multiple lamp bodies can be used to extend the lamp body length by arranging them horizontally. However, the lamp bodies need to be connected in parallel or series, requiring installers to have certain electrical skills. Even so, the process is still cumbersome and involves many steps. Therefore, traditional lamp bodies have significant limitations for ordinary users who need longer lamp bodies. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the defects of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a structure that can conveniently, quickly and easily connect several lamp bodies in series for power supply.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:

[0005] A series-connectable lamp tube with male and female plugs includes a lamp tube, a lamp plate inside the lamp tube, and plugs at both ends of the lamp tube, with a male connection structure and a female connection structure respectively provided on the plugs at both ends.

[0006] Furthermore, the plug in this utility model includes a plug housing and a plug connector. A screw hole is provided at the bottom of the plug housing, and the plug connector is fixedly connected to the lamp tube by inserting a screw into the screw hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the male connection structure in this utility model includes a three-pronged end provided on the outer wall of the plug housing, and the three-pronged end is provided with three through holes for installing electrical pins, and the three-pronged end extends from the inside of the plug housing to the outside.

[0008] Furthermore, the female connection structure in this utility model includes a three-prong plug provided on the outer wall of the plug housing, and the three-prong plug is provided with three holes for installing electrical contact pieces, and the three-prong plug extends from the outer wall of the plug housing to the interior.

[0009] Furthermore, the three-pronged end of this invention can be inserted into the three-pronged socket to connect the electrical pin and the electrical contact piece in series.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the plug housing in this utility model is provided with reinforcing ribs located in the middle of the three-prong end and in the middle of the plug sleeve.

[0011] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are:

[0012] This utility model has a simple structure, providing a convenient and quick way to connect several lamps in series for power supply. Users who need to extend the lamps can directly purchase a suitable number of lamps and connect them in series themselves, simultaneously reducing time and cost for both manufacturers and users. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional series or parallel wiring, significantly reducing the technical requirements on users and making it easy to install and use.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 6 The present invention preferably provides a series-connectable lamp tube with male and female plugs, comprising a lamp tube 1, a lamp plate 2 inside the lamp tube 1, and plugs 3 at both ends of the lamp tube 1. Male connection structure 4 and female connection structure 5 are respectively provided on the plugs 3 at both ends. The lamp plate is composed of multiple LED beads, which are used in this technical solution. The lamp tube is a tube composed of a transparent lampshade and a lamp holder. The plugs are used to seal the left and right ends of the lamp tube. The two lamps can be connected in series through the male connection structure of one lamp tube and the female connection structure of the other lamp tube. Furthermore, the number of lamps connected in series is unlimited when the voltage is sufficient, thus meeting various special needs of users.

[0021] The plug 3 described in this utility model includes a plug housing 31 and a plug connector 32. A screw hole 33 is provided at the bottom of the plug housing 31. The plug connector 32 is fixedly connected to the lamp tube 1 by inserting a screw into the screw hole 33. The plug connector is fixed inside the plug housing and is plate-shaped. A screw can be screwed into the screw hole at the bottom of the plug housing, and the threaded end of the screw is ultimately tightened onto the plug connector. The lamp tube is connected by a lamp holder fixed between the bottom of the plug housing and the plug connector, through which a screw passes. Generally, a raised edge for the screw to pass through can be provided on the lamp holder.

[0022] The male connection structure 4 described in this utility model includes a three-pronged terminal 41 disposed on the outer wall of the plug housing 31. The three-pronged terminal 41 has three through holes 42 for installing electrical connectors. The three-pronged terminal 41 extends from the inside of the plug housing 31 to the outside. The three-pronged plug is shaped like three cylindrical parts fused together in a triangle, allowing the electrical connectors to extend out in a triangular shape. The electrical connectors correspond to the neutral, live, and ground wires of a conventional plug.

[0023] The female connection structure 5 described in this utility model includes a three-prong socket 51 disposed on the outer wall of the plug housing 31. The three-prong socket 51 has three holes 52 for installing electrical contact pieces. The three-prong socket 51 extends from the outer wall of the plug housing 31 into the interior. The three-prong socket is concave, and its concave shape is the same as the shape of the three-prong end. Electrical contact pieces are disposed within the holes, corresponding to the three electrical pins respectively.

[0024] The three-prong plug 41 described in this invention can be inserted into the three-prong socket 51 to connect the electrical pin and the electrical contact piece in series. After the electrical pin and the electrical contact piece come into contact, they are connected in series, and the synchronous opening and closing of multiple lamps is achieved through the mutual series connection of multiple lamps.

[0025] In this invention, reinforcing ribs 6 are provided on the inner wall of the plug housing 31 located in the middle of the three-prong plug end 41 and on the inner wall of the plug housing 31 located in the middle of the three-prong plug end 51. The reinforcing ribs are used to strengthen the structure of the plug housing and facilitate insertion and removal without damaging the plug housing.
