Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting strip technology, and in particular to a flexible light strip. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of tourism, parasols have become an indispensable outdoor leisure tool in various leisure places such as squares, beaches, parks and courtyards, providing people with a comfortable space for leisure and shade. To meet the needs of different users, the functions of existing parasols have gradually increased. There are parasols with swivel function, which can adjust the direction of the parasol according to different needs to achieve the best sunshade effect.

[0003] Solar-powered sun umbrellas, which emerged to achieve energy conservation and environmental protection, include those with LED lights to facilitate evening recreational activities. However, existing illuminated sun umbrellas primarily use light guides to diffuse the light, made of rigid acrylic. Acrylic is prone to breakage and limited by shape, making it unsuitable for lighting purposes. Acrylic light guides typically emit light from both ends, diffusing the light through reflection or refraction throughout the entire guide. However, when the light guide is long, a dark area can easily appear in the middle, as the light from both ends cannot be refracted or diffused to this area, resulting in shadows and affecting usability.

[0004] In addition, traditional acrylic light guide strips have a complicated manufacturing process, low yield rate, cannot be bent or disassembled, and have low brightness and cannot be used for lighting. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a light guide structure with high lighting efficiency, low production cost, high yield rate and mass production capability.

[0006] It features uniform light emission, no light spots, and freely adjustable length, while also enhancing brightness, making it suitable for mass production and solving the problems raised in the background technology.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A flexible light strip includes a lampshade, which is elongated; a light guide strip, which is disposed in the upper part inside the lampshade; a snap-fit ​​part, which is disposed in the lower part inside the lampshade; and a flexible light strip, which includes a flexible electrode plate, on which a light source element is mounted, and on which the light source element is covered with a transparent adhesive layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the lampshade is made of transparent or translucent material.

[0010] Furthermore, the latching part includes two latching strips symmetrically disposed in the lower part of the lampshade; the latching strips are integrally designed and manufactured with the lampshade.

[0011] Furthermore, the flexible electrode plate is either a metal flexible electrode plate or an FPCB flexible circuit board.

[0012] Furthermore, the light source is a COB light source or / and an LED light source.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple sets of flexible copper electrode groups are respectively assembled on both sides of the flexible electrode plate. Each set of flexible copper electrode groups includes two flexible copper electrodes, which are located on both sides of the light source. The two ends of each flexible copper electrode correspond to positive and negative electrodes respectively, and the positive and negative electrodes of the two flexible copper electrodes are arranged in opposite directions.

[0014] Furthermore, the transparent adhesive layer is a transparent adhesive layer made of transparent silicone material through a coating process.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] The lampshade of this invention is made of soft or hard transparent or semi-transparent material, and the light guide strip is made of flexible material. Compared with the original lampshade and light guide strip made of acrylic material, it is suitable for mass production, improves the yield rate, saves costs, and facilitates production.

[0017] In this invention, the light guide strip is made of silicone material. Compared to acrylic light guide strips, the silicone light guide strip is significantly brighter. The lampshade of this invention has both emitting and refraction properties, resulting in excellent light emission.

[0018] The flexible light strip in this invention can be bent and installed in any position on outdoor equipment, making it suitable for any location.

[0019] This utility model has good versatility; it can be mounted on tent frames, umbrella tents, or other outdoor equipment. Attached Figure Description

For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example

[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 A flexible light strip includes a lampshade, a light guide strip, and a snap-fit ​​part, and a flexible light strip is assembled in the snap-fit ​​part inside the lampshade.

[0030] The lampshade is long and narrow, manufactured in one piece. It is made of soft or rigid transparent or semi-transparent material, facilitating light transmission and illumination to suit various application scenarios. The light strip is made of flexible material.

[0031] After the flexible light strip emits light, it undergoes disordered refraction and scattering within the lampshade, ultimately producing a soft and bright light. Compared to previous acrylic lampshades and light guides, when the length exceeds 2 meters, the middle section of the light guide becomes darker due to light propagation, while the ends remain at normal brightness. This creates dark spots on the lampshade, severely impacting the lighting effect. This technology uses silicone material, where light is reflected and refracted on the silicone material and lampshade, creating a shadow-free lighting effect.

[0032] The light emitted by the flexible light strip is evenly distributed and will not form dark spots, increasing the overall brightness by more than 50%.

[0033] The latching part is located inside the lampshade at the bottom. It includes two symmetrically positioned latching strips on the lower part of the lampshade. The latching strips are integrally designed and manufactured with the lampshade. The two latching strips are not connected; there is a gap between them, creating a cavity between the two latching strips and the bottom of the lampshade. The flexible LED strip can be directly inserted into this cavity. The two latching strips fix the insertion direction of the LED strip, preventing lateral twisting or bending and ensuring a straight insertion.

[0034] The flexible light strip includes a flexible electrode plate on which a light source component is mounted, and the light source component on the flexible electrode plate is covered with a transparent adhesive layer.

[0035] The flexible electrode plate uses either a metal flexible electrode plate or an FPCB flexible circuit board. The light source uses a COB light source or an LED light source.

[0036] Multiple sets of flexible copper electrode assemblies are mounted on both sides of the flexible electrode plate. Each set of flexible copper electrode assemblies includes two flexible copper electrodes, which are located on both sides of the light source. The two ends of each flexible copper electrode correspond to positive and negative terminals, respectively, and the positive and negative terminals of the two flexible copper electrodes are arranged in opposite directions. In use, the flexible copper electrodes at the ends are cut in half, because the entire flexible light strip can be cut at halfway point. This design facilitates processing and mass production, requiring only simple cutting for use.

[0037] The transparent adhesive layer is made of transparent silicone material through a coating process. This transparent adhesive layer refracts and reflects light, ensuring effective lighting.

[0038] The light strip in this patented technology has end caps at both ends, and the end caps have through holes. The power wires connecting the positive and negative terminals of the flexible copper electrode also pass through the through holes in the end caps, allowing them to enter and exit and connect to an external power source.

[0039] Figure 4This is an existing umbrella tent. The flexible light strip of this patent can be installed on the inner side of the umbrella tent, or on the umbrella ribs or tent frame. In addition to umbrella tents and outdoor tents, it can also be used on other outdoor equipment.

[0040] The lampshade and light guide strip in this invention are designed and manufactured as a single piece of silicone material. Compared with the original lampshade and light guide strip made of acrylic material, it is suitable for mass production, improves the yield rate, saves costs, and facilitates production.

[0041] In this invention, the lampshade and light strip are made of silicone material. Compared to acrylic light guide strips, the silicone light guide strip is significantly brighter. The lampshade of this invention has both emitting and refraction properties, resulting in excellent light emission.

[0042] The flexible light strip in this invention can be bent and installed in any position on outdoor equipment, making it suitable for any location.

[0043] This utility model has good versatility; it can be mounted on tent frames, umbrella tents, or other outdoor equipment.

[0044] 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.
