Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Linear lights are flexible decorative lighting fixtures designed with linear light sources as their core. They possess unique aesthetics and practicality. Linear lights use LED light sources arranged in a straight line to create a continuous light emission effect, similar to "wall washer lights" or "floodlights." They are mainly used for decoration and atmosphere creation. The exterior of linear lights is mostly made of aluminum alloy or aluminum substrate, which is sturdy, durable, and corrosion-resistant. Some products undergo electrostatic powder coating to improve weather resistance. Their light source is mainly LED light source boards, ensuring high efficiency and low power consumption. They can be used in billboards, exhibition halls, bars, and other places that require decoration and atmosphere creation. They can also be used in living rooms, bedrooms, stairwells, and other areas to enhance the sense of space and safety. Some linear lights are also used in outdoor environments such as parks for lighting and decoration.

[0003] However, existing linear lights have certain shortcomings:

[0004] First, most existing linear lights are one-piece structures, which are either not detachable or are difficult to disassemble. When the relevant components of the linear light are damaged or need to be repaired, the disassembly of the linear light is quite complicated. In addition, since the connection points of the linear lights are mostly connected and fixed with screws and other components, the disassembly of the linear lights takes a long time and increases the difficulty of maintenance.

[0005] Secondly, since the components of a linear light are interconnected and cannot be separated, when one component is damaged, multiple components need to be replaced to repair the linear light, which is quite complicated and can easily lead to waste of related components. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a modular linear light to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a modular linear light, including a frame, the frame being a "U"-shaped structure, a light source board installed inside the frame, a power cord installed at one end of the light source board, the light source board being adapted to the frame, mounting rods installed at both ends of the top of the frame, a cover plate inserted between the two mounting rods, the cover plate and the mounting rods being adapted to the frame, baffles installed on both sides of the frame, the baffles being adapted to the frame and the mounting rods respectively, a connecting component provided on the outer wall of the baffle and the inner wall of the frame, the connecting component being adapted to the baffle and the frame respectively, the connecting component including control slots opened at both ends of the outer walls of both sides of the frame, spring pieces provided at both ends of the outer wall of the baffle near the control slots, the spring pieces being made of elastic composite plastic material, spring blocks provided on the outer wall of the spring pieces, and slots opened at both ends of the outer walls of both sides of the frame, the slots being adapted to the spring blocks.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the control groove away from the card slot is provided with springs that are evenly distributed, and a support block is installed at the end of the spring. The two ends of the support block are rounded and the support block corresponds to the card slot. The spring is provided with a damper that is adapted to it.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom outer wall of the mounting rod is provided with magnetic blocks distributed at equal intervals, and the top outer wall of the frame is provided with mounting grooves distributed at equal intervals at both ends. The inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with a magnetic groove. The magnetic blocks are adapted to the magnetic grooves, and the magnetic force between the magnetic blocks and the magnetic grooves is greater than the weight of the mounting rod and the cover plate.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting rod has limiting grooves at both ends and the bottom ends of the outer walls on both sides of the frame. The baffle has limiting blocks welded around its outer wall on the side near the frame. The limiting blocks are inserted into the limiting grooves, and the length of the limiting blocks is greater than the length of the spring clip.

[0011] Preferably, the outer walls on both sides of the cover plate are provided with equally spaced fixing pieces, and the outer walls of the mounting rod near the cover plate are provided with equally spaced fixing grooves. The fixing grooves are adapted to the fixing pieces. The outer walls of the mounting rod near the cover plate and the outer walls of the baffle near the cover plate are provided with sealing gaskets. The sealing gaskets are adapted to the frame, the mounting rod, the cover plate, and the baffle, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, each of the outer walls of the baffle has a wire hole in the middle, the wire hole is adapted to the power cord, the inner wall of the wire hole is provided with a protective ring adapted to it, the protective ring is made of silicone, and a sealing cap is installed on the inner wall of the wire hole by thread.

[0013] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, before the linear light works, the light source board is first installed inside the frame, then the cover plate is connected to the mounting rod, then the mounting rod is connected to the frame, and finally the baffle is connected to the frame and mounting rod to complete the assembly of the linear light. When the baffle is connected to the frame, the spring clip on the outer wall of the baffle is inserted into the control groove on the outer wall of the frame. As the spring clip enters the control groove, the support block contracts under the pressure of the spring clip. When the spring block on the outer wall of the spring clip reaches the slot position, the support block, under the elastic force of the spring, presses the spring clip, thereby releasing the spring clip. The spring block on the wall is pressed into the slot, and the assembly of the baffle is completed by the combination of the spring block and the slot. When disassembling, press the spring block to make it re-enter the control slot, and then pull the baffle to separate it from the frame. Compared with traditional linear lights, each component is a separate module that is plugged into each other. The assembly of linear lights does not require the use of screws or other installations, making the assembly of linear lights more convenient and quick. Since the components of linear lights can be disassembled at will, when a component fails, it can be replaced individually, making the maintenance of linear lights more convenient.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the mounting rod and the frame are fixed by connecting them with magnetic blocks and magnetic grooves. No screws or other connecting parts are needed during the connection of the mounting rod and the frame. The connection and disassembly of the frame and the mounting rod are more convenient and quick. After the baffle is connected to the frame, the limiting block on the outer wall of the baffle is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove. After the baffle and the frame are locked, the mounting rod can be further restricted. Through the cooperation of the limiting block and the magnetic block, the mounting rod cannot be separated from the frame, preventing the mounting rod, cover plate and frame from separating during use.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example: Reference Figure 1-4 The modular linear light shown includes a frame 1, which has a U-shaped structure. A light source plate 18 is installed inside the frame 1, with a power cord 19 installed at one end. The light source plate 18 is compatible with the frame 1. Mounting rods 2 are installed at both ends of the top of the frame 1, and a cover plate 3 is inserted between the two mounting rods 2. The cover plate 3 and the mounting rods 2 are compatible with the frame 1. Baffles 4 are installed on both sides of the frame 1, and the baffles 4 are compatible with the frame 1 and the mounting rods 2, respectively. Connecting components are provided between the outer wall of the baffles 4 and the inner wall of the frame 1, and these connecting components are respectively connected to the baffles 4 and the frame 1. The connecting components are adapted to each other. The control slots 5 are opened at both ends of the outer walls of both sides of the frame 1. The outer walls of the baffle 4 near the control slots 5 are provided with spring pieces 6. The spring pieces 6 are made of elastic composite plastic. The outer walls of the spring pieces 6 are provided with spring blocks 7. The outer walls of both sides of the frame 1 are provided with slots 8. The slots 8 are adapted to the spring blocks 7. The outer walls of the control slots 5 away from the slots 8 are provided with springs 9 distributed at equal intervals. The ends of the springs 9 are equipped with support blocks 10. The ends of the support blocks 10 are rounded. The support blocks 10 correspond to the slots 8. The springs 9 are provided with dampers adapted to them.

[0024] Using the above structure: Before the linear light works, the light source board 18 is first installed inside the frame 1. Then, the cover plate 3 is connected to the mounting rod 2, and then the mounting rod 2 is connected to the frame 1. Finally, the baffle 4 is connected to the frame 1 and the mounting rod 2 to complete the assembly of the linear light. When the baffle 4 is connected to the frame 1, the spring piece 6 on the outer wall of the baffle 4 is inserted into the control groove 5 on the outer wall of the frame 1. As the spring piece 6 enters the control groove 5, the support block 10 contracts under the compression of the spring piece 6. When the spring block 7 on the outer wall of the spring piece 6 reaches the position of the slot 8, the support block 10 squeezes the spring piece 6 under the elastic force of the spring 9. The spring block 7 on the outer wall of the spring piece 6 is pressed into the slot 8. The assembly of the baffle 4 is completed by the engagement of the spring block 7 and the slot 8. When disassembling, press the spring block 7 to make it re-enter the control slot 5, and then pull the baffle 4 to separate it from the frame 1. Compared with traditional linear lights, each component is connected by plugging in individual modules. The assembly of linear lights does not require the use of screws or other installations, making the assembly of linear lights more convenient and faster. Since the components of the linear lights can be disassembled at will, when a component fails, it can be replaced individually, making the maintenance of linear lights more convenient.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom outer wall of the mounting rod 2 is provided with magnetic blocks 11 distributed at equal intervals, and the top outer wall of the frame 1 is provided with mounting grooves distributed at equal intervals at both ends. Magnetic grooves 12 are installed on the inner wall of the mounting grooves. The magnetic blocks 11 and magnetic grooves 12 are compatible. The magnetic force between the magnetic blocks 11 and magnetic grooves 12 is greater than the weight of the mounting rod 2 and the cover plate 3. The mounting rod 2 and the frame 1 are fixed by connecting them with each other through the magnetic blocks 11 and magnetic grooves 12. No screws or other connecting parts are needed during the connection of the mounting rod 2 and the frame 1. The connection and disassembly of the frame 1 and the mounting rod 2 are more convenient and quick.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the mounting rod 2 and both ends of the bottom of the outer walls on both sides of the frame 1 are provided with limiting grooves 13. The outer walls of the baffle 4 near the frame 1 are all welded with limiting blocks 14. The limiting blocks 14 are inserted into the limiting grooves 13. The length of the limiting blocks 14 is greater than the length of the spring piece 6. After the baffle 4 is connected to the frame 1, the limiting blocks 14 on the outer wall of the baffle 4 are inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves 13. After the baffle 4 is locked to the frame 1, it can further limit the mounting rod 2. Through the cooperation of the limiting blocks 14 and the magnetic blocks 11, the mounting rod 2 cannot be separated from the frame 1, preventing the mounting rod 2, cover plate 3 and frame 1 from separating during use.

[0027] like Figure 4As shown, both sides of the outer wall of the cover plate 3 are provided with equally spaced fixing pieces 15. The outer wall of the mounting rod 2 near the cover plate 3 is provided with equally spaced fixing grooves 16. The fixing grooves 16 are adapted to the fixing pieces 15. The outer wall of the mounting rod 2 near the cover plate 3 and the outer wall of the baffle 4 near the cover plate 3 are provided with sealing gaskets 17. The sealing gaskets 17 are adapted to the frame 1, the mounting rod 2, the cover plate 3, and the baffle 4 respectively. The cover plate 3 and the mounting rod 2 are connected by fixing pieces 15 and fixing grooves 16, which facilitates the installation and separation of the cover plate 3 and the mounting rod 2. When the cover plate 3 is damaged, it is easy to replace. The sealing gaskets 17 seal the connection between the cover plate 3, the mounting rod 2, and the baffle 4, improving the waterproof performance of the linear light.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, each of the outer walls of the baffle 4 has a wire hole 20 in the middle. The wire hole 20 is adapted to the power cord 19. The inner wall of the wire hole 20 is provided with a protective ring 21 adapted to it. The protective ring 21 is made of silicone. The inner wall of the wire hole 20 is fitted with a sealing cap 22 by threads. The wire hole 20 facilitates the passage of the power cord 19 of the light source board 18. The protective ring 21 protects the power cord 19. Since the power cord 19 is located at one end of the linear light, the unused wire hole 20 can be closed by the sealing cap 22.

[0029] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:

[0030] Before the linear light works, the light source board 18 is first installed inside the frame 1. Then, the cover plate 3 is connected to the mounting rod 2, and the mounting rod 2 is connected to the frame 1. Finally, the baffle 4 is connected to the frame 1 and the mounting rod 2 to complete the assembly of the linear light. When the baffle 4 is connected to the frame 1, the spring piece 6 on the outer wall of the baffle 4 is inserted into the control groove 5 on the outer wall of the frame 1. As the spring piece 6 enters the control groove 5, the support block 10 contracts under the compression of the spring piece 6. When the spring block 7 on the outer wall of the spring piece 6 reaches the position of the slot 8, the support block 10 compresses the spring piece 6 under the elastic force of the spring 9, thereby... Press the spring block 7 on the outer wall of the spring piece 6 into the slot 8. The assembly of the baffle 4 is completed by the engagement of the spring block 7 and the slot 8. When disassembling, press the spring block 7 to make it re-enter the control slot 5, and then pull the baffle 4 to separate it from the frame 1. Compared with traditional linear lights, each component is connected by plugging in individual modules. The assembly of linear lights does not require the use of screws or other installations, making the assembly of linear lights more convenient and quick. Since each component of the linear light can be disassembled at will, when a component fails, it can be replaced individually, making the maintenance of linear lights more convenient.

[0031] The mounting rod 2 and the frame 1 are fixed together by magnetic blocks 11 and magnetic grooves 12. No screws or other connecting parts are needed during the connection of the mounting rod 2 and the frame 1. The connection and disassembly of the frame 1 and the mounting rod 2 are more convenient and quick. After the baffle 4 is connected to the frame 1, the limiting block 14 on the outer wall of the baffle 4 is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 13. After the baffle 4 and the frame 1 are locked, the mounting rod 2 can be further restricted. Through the cooperation of the limiting block 14 and the magnetic blocks 11, the mounting rod 2 cannot be separated from the frame 1, preventing the mounting rod 2, cover plate 3 and frame 1 from separating during use.

[0032] The cover plate 3 and the mounting rod 2 are connected by a fixing piece 15 and a fixing groove 16, which facilitates the installation and separation of the cover plate 3 and the mounting rod 2. It is also convenient to replace the cover plate 3 when it is damaged. The sealing gasket 17 seals the connection between the cover plate 3, the mounting rod 2 and the baffle 4, which improves the waterproof performance of the linear light. The wire hole 20 allows the power cord 19 of the light source board 18 to pass through. The protective ring 21 protects the power cord 19. Since the power cord 19 is located at one end of the linear light, the unused wire hole 20 can be closed by the sealing cover 22.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
