Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting assembly technology, and in particular to a lighting assembly connector and lighting structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of lighting technology and the increasing demand from consumers for personalized spatial lighting, modular luminaires have been widely used in home lighting, commercial lighting, and decorative lighting due to their advantages of free combination, flexible design, and adaptability to different lighting scenarios. These luminaires typically consist of multiple independent lamp units that are mechanically connected and electrically conductive via connectors. As a core connecting component, the performance of the connector directly determines the stability, safety, and user experience of the modular luminaire.

[0003] In existing technologies, the design of lighting fixture assembly connectors focuses primarily on the strength of mechanical connections and the reliability of circuit continuity. For example, methods such as snap-fit ​​structures, threaded connections, or pluggable terminals are used to ensure the stable assembly of multiple lamp units and the transmission of electrical power. However, existing connectors generally suffer from a critical design flaw: they lack dedicated light-shielding structures for the optical characteristics of the lamp unit joints. Because the light source inside the lamp radiates light in all directions during operation, and the lamp units are joined together via connectors, tiny gaps inevitably form at the joints. Furthermore, the shells or connecting parts of existing connectors are mostly made of conventional plastic or metal, lacking light-shielding capabilities. This causes light emitted from the light source to leak outwards through the joint gaps, resulting in a noticeable "light leakage phenomenon."

[0004] This light leakage phenomenon has a significant negative impact on the overall user experience of lighting fixtures. On the one hand, in scenarios where uniform lighting and ambiance are important, light leakage can cause breaks or spots in the originally continuous lighting effect, disrupting the overall harmony of spatial lighting and reducing visual comfort. On the other hand, in scenarios requiring precise light control, light leakage can generate unnecessary stray light, interfering with the normal lighting target and affecting usage efficiency. Furthermore, long-term light leakage may also lead to negative perceptions of the lighting fixture's quality among users, reducing the product's market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] See Figures 1-11 A lamp assembly connector includes a first connecting element 10 and a second connecting element 20 connected to each other. The first connecting element 10 is provided with a first conductive component 30, and the second connecting element 20 is provided with a second conductive component 40. When the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 are connected to each other, the first conductive component 30 and the second conductive component 40 are connected to each other. The first connecting element 10 has downwardly extending first light-shielding elements 110 on its left and right sides. The second connecting element 20 has downwardly extending second light-shielding elements 210 on its left and right sides. The first light-shielding elements 110 and the second light-shielding elements 210 located on the same side are fitted together.

[0039] This lamp assembly connector, through the coordinated operation of the first and second connecting elements, simultaneously achieves the mechanical splicing of lamp body units, circuit conduction, and light shielding at the splicing points. Its specific working principle is as follows:

[0040] Before assembling the modular lighting fixtures, the pre-installation of the connecting elements and the lamp body must be completed. The connection between the connecting elements and the lamp body 50 is preferably achieved by plugging and screw fixing. The specific steps are as follows: For the first connecting element 10 with the first conductive component 30, first align its preset plugging structure (such as a boss or slot) with the matching structure (such as a groove or protrusion) on the corresponding lamp body 50 (the first lamp body to be assembled) and insert it. The plugging achieves initial positioning and ensures that the relative position of the first connecting element 10 and the lamp body 50 is stable. Then, by passing the screw through the mounting hole on the first connecting element 10 and the threaded hole on the lamp body 50, the screw is tightened to complete the fixing, so that the first connecting element 10 and the lamp body 50 are tightly fitted without looseness, while ensuring that the first conductive component 30 and the power supply circuit inside the lamp body 50 form a stable connection.

[0041] The second connecting element 20, equipped with the second conductive component 40, is installed using the same "plug-in + screw fixing" method: first, it is initially positioned with the housing of another corresponding lamp body 50 (the second lamp body to be assembled) through the plug-in structure, and then reinforced with screws to ensure that the second connecting element 20 is securely assembled with the housing of the lamp body 50, and that the second conductive component 40 is effectively connected to the internal circuitry of the lamp body 50. This connection method combines the convenience of plug-in positioning with the stability of screw fixing, preventing displacement or detachment of the connecting element from the lamp body 50 during long-term use.

[0042] After the pre-installation of the connecting elements and the lamp body 50 is completed, the splicing stage of the two lamp bodies begins: the two lamp bodies 50, each equipped with the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 respectively, are aligned in the front-to-back direction, bringing the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 closer together until they are mechanically connected (e.g., through plugging, snapping, or thread locking to achieve a stable splicing), thereby driving the two lamp bodies 50 to form an integral assembly structure. During this process, two key functions are achieved simultaneously:

[0043] On the one hand, as the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 are attached, the first conductive component 30 and the second conductive component 40, which are respectively connected to the circuits of the corresponding lamp body 50, are precisely aligned (such as the insertion and removal of conductive terminals and the contact and attachment of conductive sheets), forming a complete current path through the two lamp bodies 50. At this time, the electrical energy generated by the external power supply or the built-in power supply of one of the lamp bodies 50 can be stably transmitted to the other lamp body 50 through this path, simultaneously powering the light sources (such as LED beads and light strips) inside the two lamp bodies 50, ensuring that the lamps can be lit normally and emit light stably after assembly.

[0044] On the other hand, while the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 are spliced ​​together, the first light-shielding elements 110 extending downwards on the left and right sides of the first connecting element 10 will automatically align with the second light-shielding elements 210 extending downwards on the left and right sides of the second connecting element 20 and form a front-to-back fit. Since both the first light-shielding element 110 and the second light-shielding element 210 extend downwards to cover the gap area at the splicing of the two lamp bodies 50, after they are fitted together, they will form a "double shielding structure" on the left and right sides of the gap; this can block the light radiated from the light source inside the lamp body 50 towards the splicing gap, preventing light from leaking out from the gap; and the front-to-back fit structure can eliminate the tiny gaps that may be generated when the two connecting elements are spliced, further blocking the light leakage path and ensuring that the lighting effect after the lamp is spliced ​​is uniform and free from stray light interference.

[0045] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The first connecting element 10 is provided with a first mounting space 130, and the first conductive component 30 is detachably installed in the first mounting space 130; the second connecting element 20 is provided with a second mounting space 230, and the second conductive component 40 is detachably installed in the second mounting space 230. The first mounting space 130 of the first connecting element 10 and the second mounting space 230 of the second connecting element 20 provide a precise assembly carrier for the first conductive component 30 and the second conductive component 40, and the detachable installation design has multiple key functions: on the one hand, the conductive component and the connecting element can be pre-installed independently during the assembly stage, which facilitates precise alignment and installation, reduces the overall assembly difficulty, and improves production efficiency; on the other hand, if the conductive component fails during later maintenance, it is not necessary to replace the entire connecting element, but only to disassemble and replace the corresponding conductive component, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and operational complexity; at the same time, this design can also adapt to conductive components of different specifications, so that the connector can flexibly match lamp bodies with different current requirements and different interface types, enhancing product adaptability and versatility.

[0046] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first mounting space 130 is open on the side facing the second connecting element 20; the first conductive component 30 is movably inserted into the first mounting space 130; the second mounting space 230 is open on the side facing the first connecting element 10; the second conductive component 40 is movably inserted into the second mounting space 230.

[0047] In this utility model, the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 are interlocked in the vertical direction; specifically, the first connecting element 10 is provided with an interlocking element 150 extending in the vertical direction; the second connecting element 20 is provided with an interlocking space 250 extending in the vertical direction, the upper side of the interlocking space 250 is open, and the interlocking element 150 is inserted into the interlocking space 250 from top to bottom.

[0048] See Figure 2 and Figure 3The first mounting space 230 has a first limiting groove 140 on its upper and lower or left and right sides, with the first limiting groove 140 opening towards the second connecting element 20. The first conductive component 30 has a first limiting block 330 that is movably inserted into the first limiting groove 140. The second mounting space 230 has a second limiting groove 240 on its upper and lower or left and right sides, with the second limiting groove 240 opening towards the first connecting element 10. The second conductive component 40 has a second limiting block 430 that is movably inserted into the second limiting groove 240. This structure allows the limiting block to be quickly inserted into the limiting groove along the opening direction, achieving precise pre-positioning of the conductive component within the mounting space and avoiding assembly misalignment. At the same time, the fitting structure between the limiting groove and the limiting block can fix the position of the conductive component, preventing it from shaking during use and ensuring stable circuit contact.

[0049] See Figures 1 to 4 The upper wall of the first connecting element 10 is provided with a connecting lug 120 extending towards the second connecting element 20. The upper surface of the second connecting element 20 is provided with a groove 220 that matches the connecting lug 120. The connecting lug 120 can be inserted into the groove 220 from top to bottom. The connecting lug 120 is fixedly connected to the second connecting element 20 with screws. The core functions of this structure are: firstly, the connecting lug 120 can be inserted into the groove 220 from top to bottom, which can quickly guide the two connecting elements to align vertically, achieve precise pre-positioning before splicing, and improve assembly convenience; secondly, after insertion, the connecting lug 120 is fixed to the second connecting element 20 with screws, which further strengthens the connection stability of the two connecting elements and avoids loosening or misalignment during use.

[0050] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first conductive component 30 includes a first plug-in housing 310 detachably connected to the first connecting element 10, and the first plug-in housing 310 is provided with a plurality of first conductive elements 320; the second conductive component 40 includes a second plug-in housing 410 detachably connected to the second connecting element 20, and the second plug-in housing 410 is provided with a plurality of second conductive elements 420; when the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 are connected to each other, the first conductive elements 320 and the second conductive elements 420 are in contact with each other. The detachable plug-in housing facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the components; at the same time, the first conductive elements 320 and the second conductive elements 420, which are respectively provided, are in contact when the two connecting elements are connected, which can stably conduct the circuit, ensure power transmission, and supply power to the lamp body.

[0051] In this invention, the first conductive element 320 and the second conductive element 420 are preferably made of conductive copper sheets.

[0052] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first light-shielding element 110 has a positioning slot 111 on its wall facing the other light-shielding element 110, and the second light-shielding element 210 has a positioning plug 211 on its wall facing the other light-shielding element 110. The positioning plug 211 can be detached into the positioning slot 111. The positioning slot 111 of the first light-shielding element 110 and the positioning plug 211 of the second light-shielding element 210 cooperate to have three key functions: First, it can be quickly aligned during splicing, and the precise positioning of the first and second connecting elements can be achieved by inserting the plug into the slot, improving assembly efficiency; second, the detachable connection between the plug and the slot can enhance the fit and stability of the light-shielding elements on both sides, and avoid misalignment due to vibration during long-term use; third, the tight insertion of the two can further eliminate gaps between the light-shielding elements, enhance the light-shielding effect, and eliminate the risk of light leakage.

[0053] See Figures 1 to 9 A lamp structure includes a first connecting element 10, a second connecting element 20, a first conductive component 30, a second conductive component 40, and a lamp body 50; two lamp bodies 50 are provided and arranged one in front of the other; the first connecting element 10 is installed on one of the lamp bodies 50, and the second connecting element 20 is installed on the other lamp body 50; the first conductive component 30 is disposed on the first connecting element 10; the second conductive component 40 is disposed on the second connecting element 20; first light-shielding elements 110 extending downward are provided on the left and right sides of the first connecting element 10; second light-shielding elements 210 extending downward are provided on the left and right sides of the second connecting element 20; the first light-shielding element 110 and the second light-shielding element 210 located on the same side are attached to each other to form a light-shielding member, and the light-shielding member is attached to the inner wall of the connection between the two lamp bodies 50.

[0054] See Figure 9 The lamp body 50 is provided with an installation cavity 510 and a light-emitting cavity 520 at the top and bottom respectively. The lower surface of the light-emitting cavity 520 is the light-emitting surface. The first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 are fixed in the installation cavity 510 by plugging. The first light-shielding element 110 and the second connecting element 20 on both sides extend into the light-emitting cavity 520 and fit against the inner wall of the lamp body 50 to achieve light shielding.

[0055] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 Both the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 are provided with slots 70, which are used to connect the buckles 610 of the end cover 60. At the end of the lamp body 50 where no further splicing is required, the buckles 610 of the end cover 60 are connected to the slots 70 of the first connecting element 10 or the second connecting element 20, thereby achieving quick connection.
