For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the linear light provided in the embodiment of this application includes a lamp body 10 and a driver box 20. The lamp body 10 includes a main frame 11, an LED light source 12, and a light-emitting plate 13. The inner space of the main frame 11 is divided into a first space 111 and a second space 112 by a partition 113. The main frame 11 has a locking inlet 120 and a light outlet 114. The light outlet 114 communicates with the first space 111, and the locking inlet 120 communicates with the second space 112. The LED light source 12 is installed in the first space 111 and emits light towards the light outlet 114. The light-emitting plate 13 is installed in the light outlet 114. The inner wall of the second space 112 is provided with a first locking structure 115. The driver box 20 includes a housing 21 and a circuit board 22. The circuit board 22 is installed inside the housing 21. The outer wall of the housing 21 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​structure 211. The driver box 20 is embedded into the second space 112 through the snap-fit ​​inlet 120. The second snap-fit ​​structure 211 is snapped with the first snap-fit ​​structure 115 to prevent the driver box 20 from coming out of the second space 112. The circuit board 22 is electrically connected to the LED light source 12.

[0042] In the linear light of this embodiment, the light body 10 and the driver box 20 are two independent components. They are then connected to each other via a first snap-fit ​​structure 115 on the light body 10 and a second snap-fit ​​structure 211 on the housing 21 of the driver box 20. This allows the driver box 20 to be conveniently, quickly, and stably installed on the light body 10, meaning the light body 10 and driver box 20 are integrated together. This simplifies the assembly method of the linear light, improves assembly efficiency, enhances usability, and facilitates user installation.

[0043] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in this linear light, the partition 113 has a through hole 116, and the LED light source 12 has a first insertion part 121, which is directly opposite the through hole 116. Correspondingly, as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figures 9 to 16As shown, the circuit board 22 has a second insertion portion 221 extending out of the housing 21. The second insertion portion 221 is electrically connected to the first insertion portion 121 through a through hole 116. Thus, the driver box 20 can supply power to the LED light source 12, causing the LED light source 12 to emit light for illumination. Furthermore, as... Figures 3 to 16 As shown, the linear light also includes a sealing structure 30, which is sandwiched between the partition 113 and the housing 21, and surrounds the through hole 116. The sealing structure 30 seals the through hole 116, thereby preventing moisture from entering the first space 111 through the through hole 116 and avoiding the risk of short circuit to the LED light source 12 caused by moisture.

[0044] In order to quickly, accurately, and stably assemble the driver box 20 onto the lamp body 10, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, the partition 113 is also provided with a first positioning structure 117, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, the outer wall of the housing 21 facing the partition 113 is provided with a second positioning structure 212. During the assembly process, the first positioning structure 117 and the second positioning structure 212 are installed in a corresponding manner to position and limit the drive box 20 and the main frame 11. That is to say, through the mutual positioning and cooperation of the first positioning structure 117 and the second positioning structure 212, the drive box 20 can be quickly and accurately placed in place on the main frame 11. Then, by pressing the drive box 20 firmly, the second snap-fit ​​structure 211 of the drive box 20 can be smoothly snapped into the first snap-fit ​​structure 115, thereby quickly and stably assembling the drive box 20 onto the lamp body 10 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0045] The first positioning structure 117 is configured with two positioning holes, which are located on both sides of the through hole 116. The second positioning structure 212 is configured with two positioning posts, which are located on both sides of the second insertion part 221. The two positioning posts are inserted into the two positioning holes respectively to achieve rapid positioning.

[0046] In the linear light of this application embodiment, the positioning hole can extend through the through hole of the first space 111, and the positioning post can extend into the first space 111 through the through hole; alternatively, the positioning hole can also be a groove (i.e., a blind hole) to accommodate the positioning post. Preferably, the positioning hole is a through hole, and the sealing structure 30 surrounds the first positioning structure 117 and the second positioning structure 212. That is, the sealing structure 30 seals the gap between the hole wall of the positioning hole and the positioning post, preventing moisture from entering the first space 111 and causing a short circuit risk to the LED light source 12.

[0047] Among them, the sealing structure 30 is a sealing ring or sealing adhesive. For example... Figure 6 , Figure 10 As shown, the housing 21 has a sealing mounting groove 215 on the side facing the lamp body 10, and the sealing mounting groove 215 surrounds the second positioning structure 212 and the second insertion part 221. During assembly, the sealing ring or sealant is placed in the sealing mounting groove 215, and then the drive box 20 is inserted into the second space 112. The sealing ring or sealant then presses against the partition 113, and the sealing ring is compressed to produce elastic deformation or the sealant cures, thereby achieving a sealing effect.

[0048] In this linear light, such as Figure 9 , Figures 11 to 16 As shown, the main frame 11 is strip-shaped and can be a profile made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. On one hand, the main frame 11 has strong mechanical strength, capable of supporting sufficient length for the linear light, even longer linear lights are not easily bent or deformed, and the overall weight of the linear light is relatively light. On the other hand, the main frame 11 has good thermal conductivity and heat dissipation capabilities, dissipating the heat generated by the LED light source 12. The inner walls of the opposite sides of the first space 111 are each provided with a first slot 118, the extension direction of the first slot 118 being consistent with the extension direction of the main frame 11. Along the extension direction of the main frame 11, the two side edges of the LED light source 12 are respectively inserted into the two first slots 118. Furthermore, as shown... Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the linear light also includes two end caps 14, which are respectively sealed to both ends of the main body frame 11. The two end caps 14 block the openings at both ends of the first space 111, and the end caps 14 and the ends of the main body frame 11 can be sealed with sealing rings to prevent moisture from entering the first space 111 and causing a short circuit risk to the LED light source 12.

[0049] In the linear light of the embodiments of this application, the first snap-fit ​​structure 115 is a second snap-fit ​​groove provided on the inner walls of opposite sides of the second space 112, and, as Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 As shown, the second snap-fit ​​structure 211 consists of two hooks located on opposite outer walls of the housing 21. By pressing the drive box 20 firmly, the second snap-fit ​​structure 211 of the drive box 20 can be smoothly snapped onto the first snap-fit ​​structure 115, thereby quickly and stably assembling the drive box 20 onto the lamp body 10 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the inner walls on both sides of the second space 112 are also provided with third slots 119. The extension direction of the third slots 119 is consistent with the extension direction of the main frame 11. The third slots 119 are used to adapt and fix the adapter to fix the linear light to the fixed mounting surface. The fixing adapter can be a U-shaped snap-fit ​​plate. After the snap-fit ​​plate is fixed to the fixed mounting surface with screws, it can be quickly installed in place by snapping the hooks at both ends of the snap-fit ​​plate into the third slots 119 without the need for tools.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​structure 115 and the third snap-fit ​​groove 119 for snap-fitting the adapter can be the same groove structure on the inner wall of the second space 112, such as a dovetail groove.

[0052] In this linear light, such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 16 As shown, the housing 21 has a first potting hole 213 and a second potting hole 214 spaced apart. Both the first potting hole 213 and the second potting hole 214 communicate with the interior of the housing 21 for potting and sealing the circuit board 22, as shown. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown. Specifically, the openings of the first potting hole 213 and the second potting hole 214 are both slightly higher than the circuit board 22. During the potting process, one of the first potting hole 213 and the second potting hole 214 is used to pour liquid glue 23 into the housing 21, while the other of the first potting hole 213 and the second potting hole 214 allows air inside the housing 21 to escape. The potting process continues until the liquid glue 23 covers the circuit board 22 and overflows from the other of the first potting hole 213 and the second potting hole 214. At this point, the potting process is stopped, and the glue 23 is allowed to cure.

[0053] Considering that the length of the main frame 11 cannot be extended indefinitely, each linear light has a maximum length limit. When the total length of the linear lights required for a large lighting scene is too long, multiple linear lights can be connected in series to meet the requirements. For example... Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 7 , Figures 9 to 15 As shown, the circuit board 22 has a first cable 222 and a second cable 223 extending out of the housing 21. Along the extension direction of the main frame 11, the extension directions of the first cable 222 and the second cable 223 are opposite. The first cable 222 or the second cable 223 is used to cascade another linear light driver box in series.

[0054] like Figures 7 to 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 , Figure 16As shown, the housing 21 includes a first housing 216 and a second housing 217, which overlap to form an inner cavity, in which the circuit board 22 is installed. Wherein, as... Figure 8 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, the inner sidewall of the second shell 217 is provided with a plurality of first latching protrusions 224 and a plurality of second latching protrusions 225 corresponding to each other. A first latching protrusion 224 and a second latching protrusion 225 are paired together and spaced apart. The plurality of latching protrusions are distributed circumferentially at intervals. The circumferential edge of the circuit board 22 is latched between the plurality of first latching protrusions 224 and second latching protrusions 225, and then the first shell 216 is covered on the second shell 217.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
