Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of LED strip products, and in particular to a stable LED strip with a waterproof connector. Background Technology

[0002] LED light strips, due to their flexibility, energy saving, bendability, and rich colors, have been widely used in architectural landscape lighting, interior and exterior decoration, advertising lighting, and home ambiance creation. However, in practical applications, especially in outdoor or humid environments, the reliability of the waterproof sealing at the electrical connection joints has always been a technical challenge and a major point of failure for the industry.

[0003] Existing LED strips typically have a pre-made silicone sleeve fitted over the male and female connectors after insertion. The sealing effect depends entirely on the elasticity and integrity of the silicone sleeve. Over long-term use, the silicone is prone to aging and loss of elasticity, or the sleeve may shift or deform due to pulling during installation, creating gaps that allow moisture to penetrate. Alternatively, waterproof tape can be wrapped around the connector, but over time, this tape may come loose, allowing moisture to seep in. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a stable LED strip with a waterproof connector to address the problems of silicone aging and loss of elasticity during long-term use, or the detachment of the external waterproof tape leading to moisture intrusion.

[0005] A stable LED strip with a waterproof connector includes: an LED strip mechanism, which includes an LED strip connecting wire and an LED strip connector;

[0006] A waterproof connection mechanism and a power supply mechanism, wherein the power supply mechanism includes a power cord and a power head, and the waterproof connection mechanism includes a light strip sliding sleeve, a connecting sliding sleeve, an inner sealing strip, an outer sealing strip, a positioning component, and a connecting component;

[0007] The LED strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve are respectively sleeved on the outside of the LED strip connector and the power supply head. The inner sealing strip is located on the side of the power supply head near the LED strip connector, and the outer sealing strip is located on the side of the LED strip sliding sleeve near the connecting sliding sleeve.

[0008] In one embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a connecting sleeve and a connecting ring. The connecting sleeve is rotatably fitted onto the outer arc surface of the power head, and the connecting ring is fixedly disposed on the side of the connecting sleeve near the light strip connector. The side of the light strip connector is provided with a connecting groove corresponding to the connecting ring.

[0009] In one embodiment, the positioning component includes an extension plate and a spring plunger. The spring plunger is disposed on the outer arc surface of the light strip sliding sleeve via the extension plate, and the extension plate on the outer arc surface of the light strip sliding sleeve has a positioning hole corresponding to the spring plunger.

[0010] In one embodiment, both the LED strip connector and the power supply head have a fixed ring on their outer arc surfaces, and both sets of fixed rings have a limit block on their outer arc surfaces.

[0011] In one embodiment, the limiting block is configured as a convex block, and the inner sides of the light strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve are provided with limiting grooves corresponding to the limiting block. The light strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve are slidably disposed outside the corresponding fixing ring through the limiting block.

[0012] In one embodiment, the LED strip connector has an inner sealing groove corresponding to the inner sealing strip on the side near the power supply head, and the inner sealing groove is located inside the connecting groove, while the inner sealing strip is located inside the connecting ring.

[0013] In one embodiment, both the inner sealing strip and the outer sealing strip are configured as annular strips, and the light strip sliding sleeve has an outer sealing groove corresponding to the outer sealing strip on the side near the connecting sliding sleeve.

[0014] In one embodiment, the two sets of fixing rings do not contact each other, and the LED strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve do not contact the LED strip connector and the power supply head.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] 1. The aforementioned stable LED strip connects the LED strip connector and the power supply head via a connecting assembly. It then undergoes an initial waterproofing step using an inner sealing strip, followed by a second waterproofing step by wrapping waterproof tape around the connection point between the LED strip connector and the power supply head. The LED strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve are then connected via the connecting assembly, and the waterproof tape is wrapped around both the LED strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve. An outer sealing strip between the LED strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve provides a third waterproofing step, ensuring waterproofing while preventing the waterproof tape from peeling off over long-term use.

[0017] 2. The aforementioned stable light strip uses a fixing ring fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of the light strip connector and the power head. Then, the light strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve are slidably fitted onto the corresponding outer arc surface of the fixing ring through the limiting block. This makes it convenient to wrap the connection between the light strip connector and the power head with waterproof tape. At the same time, after wrapping, it is convenient to move the light strip sliding sleeve and the connecting sliding sleeve to the outer arc surface of the waterproof tape.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] The following is combined Figures 1-5 This invention describes a waterproof and stable LED strip with a connector.

[0027] In one embodiment, a waterproof and stable LED strip includes: an LED strip mechanism 100, which includes an LED strip connecting wire 101 and an LED strip connector 102; a waterproof connection mechanism 200 and a power supply mechanism 300, the power supply mechanism 300 including a power cord 301 and a power connector 302; the waterproof connection mechanism 200 including an LED strip sliding sleeve 201, a connecting sliding sleeve 202, an inner sealing strip 203, an outer sealing strip 210, a positioning component, and a connection component; the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the LED strip connector 102 and the power connector 302, and the inner sealing strip 203 is provided with... The outer sealing strip 210 is located on the side of the power head 302 near the light strip connector 102, and the outer sealing strip 210 is located on the side of the light strip sliding sleeve 201 near the connecting sliding sleeve 202; the side of the light strip connector 102 near the power head 302 has an inner sealing groove 206 corresponding to the inner sealing strip 203, and the inner sealing groove 206 is located inside the connecting groove 207, and the inner sealing strip 203 is located inside the connecting ring 204; both the inner sealing strip 203 and the outer sealing strip 210 are annular strips, and the side of the light strip sliding sleeve 201 near the connecting sliding sleeve 202 has an outer sealing groove 211 corresponding to the outer sealing strip 210;

[0028] In this embodiment, one end of the LED strip connecting wire 101 is connected to the LED strip connector 102, and the other end is connected to the LED strip. One end of the power cord 301 is connected to the power head 302, and the other end is connected to the power source. After the LED strip connector 102 and the power head 302 are connected, the inner sealing strip 203 on the side of the power head 302 is inserted into the corresponding inner sealing groove 206 for a first-time waterproof seal. After the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 are connected, the outer sealing strip 210 is inserted into the corresponding outer sealing groove 211 for a second-time waterproof seal, thereby ensuring stable waterproofing after the LED strip is connected to the power source.

[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting assembly includes a connecting sleeve and a connecting ring 204. The connecting sleeve is rotatably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the power head 302, and the connecting ring 204 is fixedly disposed on the side of the connecting sleeve near the light strip connector 102. The side of the light strip connector 102 is provided with a connecting groove 207 corresponding to the connecting ring 204. The positioning assembly includes an extension plate and a spring plunger 208. The spring plunger 208 is disposed on the outer arc surface of the light strip sliding sleeve 201 through the extension plate. The extension plate on the outer arc surface of the light strip sliding sleeve 201 is provided with a positioning hole 209 corresponding to the spring plunger 208.

[0030] In this embodiment, the connecting ring 204 on the side of the rotating sleeve is threaded into the connecting groove 207 on the side of the light strip connector 102, thereby connecting the light strip connector 102 and the power head 302. After the light strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 are connected, the spring plunger 208 on the side of the connecting sliding sleeve 202 will be engaged in the positioning hole 209 on the side extension plate of the light strip sliding sleeve 201, thereby connecting the light strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the overall light strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202, and at the same time facilitating the separation of the light strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202.

[0031] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both the LED strip connector 102 and the power supply head 302 have a fixed ring 205 fixedly installed on their outer arc surfaces, and both sets of fixed rings 205 have a limit block 212 fixedly installed on their outer arc surfaces. The limit block 212 is a convex block, and the inner sides of the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 are provided with a limit groove 213 corresponding to the limit block 212. The LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 are slidably installed outside the corresponding fixed rings 205 through the limit block 212. The two sets of fixed rings 205 do not contact each other, and the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 do not contact the LED strip connector 102 and the power supply head 302.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fixing ring 205 is fixedly disposed at the middle of the outer arc surface of the LED strip connector 102 and the power supply head 302. The fixing ring 205's outer arc surface is engaged with the limiting block 212 inside the limiting groove 213 on the inner side of the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202. This ensures that the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 are stably positioned on the outer arc surface of the LED strip connector 102 and the power supply head 302, while also allowing the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 to move within the outer arc surface of the LED strip connector 102 and the power supply head 302. When the LED strip connector 102 and the power supply head 302 are connected, the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 move to the side away from the power supply head 302 and the LED strip connector 102, so that waterproof tape can be wrapped around the connection between the LED strip connector 102 and the power supply head 302. After the waterproof tape is wrapped, the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 are moved to cover the waterproof tape. The LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 limit the waterproof tape and prevent the waterproof tape from falling off after long-term use.

[0033] Working principle: Move the LED strip sliding sleeve 201 and connecting sliding sleeve 202 to the side away from the power head 302 and LED strip connector 102. Then connect the LED strip connector 102 and the power head 302. At this time, the inner sealing strip 203 is inserted into the inner sealing groove 206. Then, the connecting ring 204 on the side of the rotating sleeve is threaded into the connecting groove 207, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the LED strip connector 102 and the power head 302. At the same time, the inner sealing strip 203 provides a first-time waterproof seal. Then, the LED strip connector 102 and the power head 302 are connected. Waterproof tape is wrapped around the connection point 302 at the source for secondary sealing and waterproofing. Then, the sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 are connected by inserting the spring plunger 208 into the positioning hole 209. The outer sealing groove 211 on the side of the connecting sliding sleeve 202 is inserted into the outer sealing strip 210 for tertiary sealing and waterproofing. At this time, the sliding sleeve 201 and the connecting sliding sleeve 202 cover the waterproof tape, thereby avoiding the problem of the waterproof tape falling off after long-term use. At the same time, the triple sealing and waterproofing ensures the stability of the waterproofing of the light strip.
