Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and more specifically, to a linear light that is easy to pot with glue. Background Technology
[0002] LED linear lights are a type of lighting fixture, also known as wall washer lights or linear LED floodlights. They are a high-end flexible decorative light characterized by low power consumption, long lifespan, high brightness, easy bending, and maintenance-free operation. They are particularly suitable for indoor and outdoor entertainment venues, building outlines, and billboard production.
[0003] Currently, the manufacturing process for LED linear lights involves first inserting an LED strip into the light housing, then applying adhesive to the strip for waterproofing during outdoor use. Existing technology often uses tape or masking tape to temporarily seal both ends of the strip during adhesive application. After the adhesive has cured, the tape or masking tape is removed for testing. Once testing is complete, the translucent glass is inserted through the end slots, and end caps are then installed at both ends. However, removing the tape may leave adhesive residue, requiring additional cleaning and wasting labor costs. Furthermore, the tape seal is often incomplete, frequently resulting in leakage. This additional step wastes both time and resources. If end caps are installed directly at the ends of the light housing, it becomes impossible to insert the translucent glass through the ends of the housing later. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a linear light that is easy to apply glue to solve the problems in the existing technology.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a linear light that is easy to pot with glue, including a lamp housing, light source mounting parts for mounting light source components are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the lamp housing, a light-transmitting mounting part for mounting light-transmitting components is provided above the light source mounting parts, and a first end cap is provided at at least one end of the lamp housing. The first end cap is used to block the light source mounting parts, and the upper surface of the first end cap is lower than the light-transmitting mounting parts.
[0006] In the aforementioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, a second end cap is provided above the first end cap, and the first end cap and the second end cap are detachably connected.
[0007] In the aforementioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, the light source mounting part is a first slot, and the light-transmitting mounting part is a second slot.
[0008] In the above-mentioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, the upper end of the first end cap is provided with a groove facing the inside of the lamp housing, and the lower end of the second end cap is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the groove. Both the groove and the protrusion are provided with through holes, and the first end cap and the second end cap are connected by fasteners passing through the through holes.
[0009] In the aforementioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, the first end cap has a through groove, and the second end cap has a first protrusion corresponding to the through groove.
[0010] In the above-mentioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, the second slot is provided with a boss distributed along the length direction of the second slot. The width of the boss is smaller than the width of the second slot. The boss causes a third slot to be formed in the second slot, the height and width of which are both smaller than the second slot.
[0011] In the aforementioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, the second end cap is provided with a second protrusion corresponding to the second slot.
[0012] In the aforementioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, the side of the second end cap facing the inside of the lamp housing is provided with a protruding abutment, the height of which is the same as the height of the second slot.
[0013] In the aforementioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, a partition is provided below the first slot, a wire groove is provided below the partition, the end of the wire groove is fixedly connected to the first end cap, and a gap is formed between the partition, the wire groove and the first end cap.
[0014] In the aforementioned linear light that is easy to apply glue, a heat dissipation groove is provided below the line groove.
[0015] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that when assembling linear lights, the light source component is first installed on the light source mounting part, then the first end cap is installed and the light source mounting part is sealed with the first end cap, and then glue is applied. This eliminates the process of using temporary sealing before applying glue in the prior art, and the end cap is used to seal directly without glue leakage. After the glue has cured and the test is completed, the light-transmitting component is installed on the light-transmitting mounting part. The operation is simple, time-saving and labor-saving, and there is no need to waste tape or masking paper, avoiding glue leakage and glue residue. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0025] Combination Figures 1 to 7 A linear light for easy glue application includes a lamp housing 1. Light source mounting portions for installing light source components 2 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the lamp housing 1. A light-transmitting mounting portion for installing a light-transmitting component 3 is provided above the light source mounting portions. At least one end of the lamp housing 1 is provided with a first end cap 4, which is used to seal the light source mounting portions. The upper surface of the first end cap 4 is lower than the light-transmitting mounting portions. When assembling the linear light, the light source component 2 is first installed on the light source mounting portions, then the first end cap 4 is installed to seal the light source mounting portions, and then glue is applied. This eliminates the need for temporary sealing before glue application in existing technologies, and the direct sealing with the end cap prevents glue leakage. After the glue has cured and been tested, the light-transmitting component 3 is then installed on the light-transmitting mounting portions. The operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving, eliminating the need to waste tape or masking tape, and avoiding glue leakage and residue. Both ends of the lamp housing 1 can be provided with a first end cap 4 whose upper surface is lower than the light-transmitting mounting part, so that the light-transmitting component 3 can be installed from either end, or the first end cap 4 can be provided only at one end, and the other end can be directly welded with an iron sheet or other sealing material.
[0026] Specifically, a second end cover 5 is provided above the first end cover 4, and the first end cover 4 and the second end cover 5 are detachably connected. The second end cover 5 is provided to seal the light-transmitting component 3 after it is installed, and the detachable connection between the first end cover 4 and the second end cover 5 facilitates the subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the linear light.
[0027] In this embodiment, the light source mounting part is a first slot 11, and the light transmission mounting part is a second slot 12. Both ends of the first slot 11 and the second slot 12 are open, which facilitates the insertion of the light source assembly 2 and the light transmission assembly 3 into the slot and their engagement with the lamp housing 1. The structure is simple.
[0028] In this embodiment, the upper end of the first end cap 4 is provided with a groove 41 facing the inside of the lamp housing 1, and the lower end of the second end cap 5 is provided with a protrusion 51 corresponding to the groove 41. Both the groove 41 and the protrusion 51 are provided with through holes. The first end cap 4 and the second end cap 5 are connected by fasteners 6 passing through the through holes. The groove 41 and the protrusion 51 are the same size and correspond in position. During installation, the protrusion 51 of the second end cap 5 is inserted into the groove 41 of the first end cap 4, and then the fasteners 6 are passed through the through holes of the protrusion 51 and the groove 41 in sequence to assemble the first end cap 4 and the second end cap 5 together. This not only makes positioning easy, but also makes installation convenient and the structure simple.
[0029] It is worth noting that the first end cap 4 has a through groove 42, and the second end cap 5 has a first protrusion 52 corresponding to the through groove 42; the structure is simple and facilitates the positioning and assembly of the first end cap 4 and the second end cap 5, avoiding displacement.
[0030] In this embodiment, the second slot 12 is provided with protrusions 121 distributed along the length direction of the second slot 12. The width of the protrusions 121 is smaller than the width of the second slot 12. The protrusions 121 cause a third slot 122 to be formed in the second slot 12, which has a height and width smaller than the second slot 12. The distances between the second slot 12 and the third slot 122 and the light source assembly 2 are different, so the light-transmitting assembly 3 can be placed in different slots as needed to meet different light output rates. At the same time, the heights of the second slot 12 and the third slot 122 are also different, so they can be adapted to light-transmitting assemblies 3 of different thicknesses.
[0031] The second end cap 5 of this embodiment is provided with a second protrusion 53 corresponding to the second slot 12; the structure is simple and facilitates the positioning and connection of the second end cap 5 and the end of the lamp housing 1, avoiding displacement.
[0032] In this embodiment, the second end cap 5 facing the inside of the lamp housing 1 is provided with a protruding abutment 54. The height of the abutment 54 is the same as the height of the second slot 12. The purpose of providing the abutment 54 is to allow the end of the light-transmitting component 3 to abut against the abutment 54, forming a gap to facilitate heat dissipation.
[0033] It is worth noting that a partition 13 is provided below the first slot 11, and a wire groove 43 is provided below the partition 13. The end of the wire groove 43 is fixedly connected to the first end cover 4, and a gap 14 is formed between the partition 13, the wire groove 43, and the first end cover 4. During installation, the wire at the end of the light source assembly 2 can enter the wire groove 43 through the gap 14, making the overall wiring inside the lamp housing 1 neat and beautiful. In other embodiments, the light source assembly 2 can also be placed directly on the partition, thereby further adjusting different light output rates according to the distance between the light source assembly 2 and the light-transmitting assembly 3.
[0034] In this embodiment, a heat dissipation groove 15 is provided below the wire groove 43. The heat dissipation groove 15 facilitates better heat dissipation when the LED linear light is in use.
[0035] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
