Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to an integrated lamp tube. Background Technology

[0002] Lamp tubes are commonly used lighting fixtures. Currently, most lamp tubes on the market are LED lamp tubes, which have a simple structure, are not easily damaged, and can meet daily use needs. In existing technology, in order to simplify the production process, the lamp housing is usually set as a one-piece design with openings at both ends. The housing is sealed by a sealing head installed at both ends. The light source board inside the housing needs to be inserted through the opening on the side wall of the housing. For LED light strip structures, since LED light strips are relatively soft, when inserted from the side, the LED light strip itself will deform or wobble, making it difficult to insert. Moreover, after being inserted, it is easy to flip or shift, resulting in poor light output. Therefore, the lamp housing structure still needs to be improved and optimized. Utility Model Content

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 According to a first aspect of the present invention, an integrated lamp tube includes a lamp housing 100, a sealing member 200, an auxiliary sealing plate 300, and a lamp strip 400. The lamp housing 100 is elongated and integrally formed. Both ends of the lamp housing 100 have mounting openings 110, and the lamp housing 100 has a first receiving cavity 120 extending along the length of the lamp housing 100 to the mounting openings 110. The top wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a downward-facing mounting groove 130, which extends along the length of the lamp housing 100 to both ends. The mounting opening 110 at one end has two sealing members 200, which are detachably installed at both ends of the lamp housing 100 and can block the mounting opening 110. The auxiliary sealing plate 300 is detachably installed in the mounting groove 130. The auxiliary sealing plate 300 is made of rigid material. The auxiliary sealing plate 300 can be inserted into the mounting groove 130 through the mounting opening 110 and can block the downward opening of the mounting groove 130 to define the mounting cavity 140. The light strip 400 can be inserted laterally into the mounting cavity 140 through the mounting opening 110. When installing the light strip 400, the auxiliary sealing plate 300 can be inserted into the mounting groove 130 through the mounting opening 110 to form the mounting cavity 140. Then, the light strip 400 can be inserted into the mounting cavity 140 through the mounting opening 110. Due to the guidance and limiting of the mounting cavity 140, the light strip 400 can be inserted relatively smoothly without tilting or shifting, and the positioning is more accurate, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the light strip 400.

[0030] Specifically, the lamp housing 100 can be made of a semi-transparent light-guiding material. After being integrally molded, it can both guide light and serve as a housing to support the light strip 400, while also concealing internal components, simplifying the manufacturing process. It is conceivable that the driver and other components can be inserted through the mounting opening 110. The downward-facing opening of the mounting slot 130 facilitates light emission from the light strip 400. The auxiliary sealing plate 300 can be made of rigid plastic to facilitate insertion into the mounting slot 130, preventing wobbling during installation and allowing for quick insertion. When installing the light strip 400, one end of the light strip 400 can be inserted into the side opening of the mounting cavity 140. It is understood that the mounting cavity 140 can be relatively small to limit the rotation or displacement of the light strip 400. Therefore, once the end of the light strip 400 is inserted, it can be quickly pushed further in. The mounting cavity 140 can be used to guide and limit the movement, thereby improving the efficiency of the installation and removal of the light strip 400. After the light strip 400 is installed, the auxiliary sealing plate 300 can be removed to avoid blocking the light output of the light strip 400. Then, the sealing part 200 can be installed at the mounting opening 110 to seal it, and the assembly is complete.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 130 is provided as an arc surface structure. Specifically, the sidewall of the mounting groove 130 can be provided as a smooth arc surface structure. When the light strip 400 is installed, it cooperates with the arc surface structure to reduce resistance, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency of the light strip 400. In addition, the arc surface structure can also reduce the occurrence of jamming.

[0032] Reference Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the lamp housing 100 further includes a second receiving cavity 150 extending along the length of the lamp housing 100 to the mounting opening 110, and the second receiving cavity 150 is located above the first receiving cavity 120. The second receiving cavity 150 is used to install the driver. Specifically, the lamp housing 100 can be divided into a first receiving cavity 120 and a second receiving cavity 150. The first receiving cavity 120 is located below, from which the lamp strip 400 emits light, while the second receiving cavity 150 is located above, where the driver can be installed. The driver can be a circuit board, a power supply, or other structures to facilitate the assembly of different components.

[0033] Reference Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the lamp housing 100 includes an outer shell portion 160 and a partition portion 170. The outer shell portion 160 has a cavity, and the partition portion 170 extends along the length direction of the lamp housing 100 into the cavity, dividing the cavity into a first receiving cavity 120 and a second receiving cavity 150. Specifically, the partition portion 170 has a generally transverse structure and extends along the length direction of the lamp housing 100 into the cavity within the outer shell portion 160, and can divide the cavity into the first receiving cavity 120 and the second receiving cavity 150 arranged vertically to facilitate component installation.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the partition 170 includes a first light guide 171, a mounting portion 172, and a second light guide 173. The first light guide 171 is disposed on one side of the mounting portion 172, and the second light guide 173 is disposed on the other side of the mounting portion 172. The mounting groove 130 is disposed on the mounting portion 172. Both the first light guide 171 and the second light guide 173 are inclined upwards in the direction toward the mounting portion 172. Specifically, the first light guide 171 and the second light guide 173 are inclined so that when the light strip 400 at the mounting portion 172 is illuminated, the light can be reflected by the first light guide 171 and the second light guide 173, thereby concentrating the light output at the bottom of the lamp housing 100 and improving the lighting effect.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the end of the partition 170 near the mounting opening 110 is provided with a wiring notch 174, which can connect the first receiving cavity 120 and the second receiving cavity 150.

[0036] With the above structure, since the LED strip 400 and the circuit board in the second receiving cavity 150 need to be connected by a cable, the wiring notch 174 provided on the partition 170 allows the LED strip 400 in the first receiving cavity 120 to run its wires to the first receiving cavity 120. It should be noted that after the LED strip 400 is installed, the cable can be inserted into the wiring notch 174 from the installation opening 110, and then the sealing part 200 can be installed. There is no need to thread the wire through the wiring hole, making the assembly more convenient.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the auxiliary sealing plate 300 is provided with sliding groove structures 310 on both sides for cooperating with the mounting groove 130. Specifically, the sliding groove structure 310 can cooperate with the end of the side wall of the mounting groove 130, and the auxiliary sealing plate 300 can be slidably installed along the mounting groove 130, which can improve the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the auxiliary sealing plate 300.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the auxiliary sealing plate 300 is made of a transparent material. Specifically, the auxiliary sealing plate 300 can be made of acrylic material, which is light-transmitting. After the light strip 400 is installed, the auxiliary sealing plate 300 can emit light directly without being disassembled.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing member 200 is provided with an electrical connector, which can be electrically connected to the light strip 400. Specifically, the electrical connector can be configured as a plug structure, which can be plugged into an external power supply socket, and the electrical connector is electrically connected to the circuit board or the light strip 400 via a cable.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the lamp housing 100 is manufactured using an extrusion process. Specifically, the lamp housing 100 can be made of plastic material and can be directly extruded using an extrusion process, enabling one-piece molding, simplifying the processing steps, and reducing production costs.
