Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light strip technology, and more specifically, to a suspended festive light strip. Background Technology
[0002] Festive light strips, also known as festive string lights or decorative light strips, are lighting decorations commonly used for festivals, celebrations, or decorative occasions. They consist of a series of small bulbs or LED beads, usually arranged in a line and can be used in series. They are used for decorating Christmas trees, buildings, bridges, streets, etc., for interior decoration, for decorating indoor spaces such as homes, shops, and bars, and for festive activities. During various festivals such as Christmas, New Year's Day, and National Day, they are used to create a festive atmosphere. Festive light strips are designed and manufactured with safety in mind, and usually have features such as leakage protection and high temperature resistance. However, care should still be taken to avoid excessive stretching, folding, or contact with water to prevent damage. Modern festive light strips can often be controlled by remote control or timer to achieve functions such as automatic switching, color changing, and mode changing. Festive light strips are an important part of festival decorations and can effectively enhance the festive atmosphere and visual effect.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN220582364U discloses a flexible light strip, including a flexible sleeve and a light source assembly. The flexible sleeve has a receiving channel for accommodating the light source assembly. The light source assembly includes several flexible circuit boards arranged sequentially along the central axis of the receiving channel and electrically connected in sequence by flexible conductive lines. Adjacent flexible circuit boards are spaced apart. Each flexible circuit board is equipped with a light group. A rigid substrate is bonded to the side of the flexible circuit board away from the light group. The combination of the flexible circuit board and the rigid substrate provides protection for the flexible circuit board through the rigid substrate. Even if the rigid substrate breaks when subjected to external impact, the circuit transmission of the flexible circuit board will not be affected. Compared with rigid PCB boards, it has a wider range of applications and improves the overall shaping capability and reliability of the product. The flexible conductive lines connecting two adjacent spaced flexible circuit boards can ensure lateral bending flexibility.
[0004] However, the existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: When using festive light strips, staff will use different sizes of festive light strips according to the needs of the venue. However, some light strips are too long or too short. Staff need to connect light strips of different sizes together or remove some light strips, which is cumbersome and reduces work efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a suspended festive lantern to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] When using festive light strips, staff will use different sizes of light strips depending on the needs of the venue. However, some light strips are too long or too short. Staff need to connect light strips of different sizes together or remove some light strips, which is cumbersome and reduces work efficiency.
[0025] Based on this, the problem that staff cannot adjust the size of the festive light strips in the relevant technology can be improved.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 A suspended festive light strip includes a flexible protective tube 1, a flexible conductive line 4, a flexible circuit board 5, a light assembly 6, and a fastening assembly 7. The flexible protective tube 1 has a first cavity 2 and a second cavity 3. The flexible circuit board 5 is disposed in the first cavity 2. The flexible conductive line 4 sequentially connects several flexible circuit boards 5, with adjacent flexible circuit boards 5 spaced apart. Each flexible circuit board 5 is provided with a light assembly 6. The fastening assembly 7 is disposed at both ends of the flexible protective tube 1 and is used to connect two flexible protective tubes 1.
[0027] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 The latching assembly 7 includes a cantilever 71 and a latching block 72. The cantilever 71 is disposed on one end of the flexible protective tube 1, and the latching block 72 is disposed on the end of the cantilever 71 away from the flexible protective tube 1. A sliding groove 8 and a latching slot 9 are provided on the end of the flexible protective tube 1 away from the cantilever 71. The latching slot 9 is located on the end of the sliding groove 8 near the cantilever 71. The latching block 72 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 8 and latched to the latching slot 9. A first electrical connector 10 is provided on the end of the flexible protective tube 1 near the sliding groove 8 and is electrically connected to the flexible conductive line 4. A second electrical connector 11 is provided on the end of the flexible protective tube 1 near the cantilever 71 and is electrically connected to the flexible conductive line 4. The second electrical connector 11 can be sleeved on the first electrical connector 10.
[0028] With this setup, staff can adjust the length of the festival light strip according to specific needs. When a longer strip is required, the staff first slides the clip 72 at one end of the flexible protective tube 1 into the sliding groove 8 until the clip 72 and the groove 9 are locked together, connecting the two flexible protective tubes 1. Simultaneously, the second electrical connector 11, located below the clip 72, is fitted onto the first electrical connector 10, electrically connecting the flexible circuit boards 5 in the two flexible protective tubes 1. This allows the required strip length to be extended, making it convenient for staff to adjust the strip according to the site conditions. When a shorter strip length is needed, the worker presses the clip 72 into the slot 9 while simultaneously pulling the strip to be removed. This disengages the clip 72 from the slot 9 and allows it to slide in the sliding groove 8, disengaging the two flexible protective tubes 1. This allows the strip length to be adjusted according to specific needs, meaning users can flexibly adapt to different decorative scenarios, such as room size, building outline, or the size of a specific decorative area. This improves the product's versatility and adaptability. The easy-to-operate design makes installation and removal of the strip simple and quick, and also makes maintenance convenient and cost-effective.
[0029] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 - Figure 4 The flexible protective tube 1 has a first folding groove 12 and a second folding groove 13 on both sides, and multiple first folding grooves 12 and second folding grooves 13 are arranged alternately.
[0030] With this design, when using festive light strips, staff often need to bend the strips, requiring the flexible protective tube 1 to bend. However, bending is often unsatisfactory. The flexible protective tube 1 has a first folding groove 12 and a second folding groove 13, which are staggered. When bending the flexible protective tube 1, the two bending surfaces on the first folding groove 12 gradually move closer together, reducing the gap and increasing cushioning. This allows the light strip to bend more easily to the desired shape without damage. This increases the strip's flexibility, distributes stress, and reduces the risk of damage. It also allows the strip to adapt more easily to various angles and curves during installation. Over long-term use, the strip can withstand repeated bending and stretching, improving its durability. It also reduces noticeable creases at bends, resulting in a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing appearance without abrupt creases.
[0031] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1-5 The flexible protective tube 1 is coated with a waterproof coating, which is made of acrylic material.
[0032] This design protects the internal circuitry and electronic components of the light strip from moisture and humidity, thus extending its lifespan. It adapts to different environments, increasing the product's applicability. Thanks to the waterproof layer, the light strip requires no special maintenance during daily use, reducing the hassle of cleaning and upkeep for users. The waterproof layer prevents rainwater from directly contacting the light strip, reducing the risk of electric shock, improving safety, and minimizing malfunctions caused by moisture, thereby lowering the failure rate and improving product reliability.
[0033] Working principle: With this setup, staff can adjust the length of the festival light strip according to specific needs. When a longer strip is required, the staff first slides the clip 72, which is fixed to one end of the flexible protective tube 1, into the sliding groove 8 until the clip 72 and the groove 9 are engaged, connecting the two flexible protective tubes 1 together. Simultaneously, the second electrical connector 11, located below the clip 72, is fitted onto the first electrical connector 10, electrically connecting the flexible circuit boards 5 in the two flexible protective tubes 1 together. This allows the required strip length to be extended, facilitating the work of the staff. Adjust the length of the light strip according to the site. When a shorter light strip is needed, the worker presses the buckle block 72 in the slot 9 and pulls the light strip to be removed, causing the buckle block 72 to disengage from the slot 9 and slide in the sliding groove 8, causing the two flexible protective tubes 1 to detach. The flexible protective tube 1 has a first folding groove 12 and a second folding groove 13, which are staggered. When the worker bends the flexible protective tube 1, the two bending surfaces on the first folding groove 12 will gradually move closer to each other, and the gap in the first folding groove 12 will become smaller.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
