Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet accessories, specifically to a rotatable LED cabinet light. Background Technology

[0002] Cabinet lights are lighting fixtures specifically designed for use inside cabinets. Because LED lights have a fixed illumination angle (i.e., a fixed illumination range) after installation, they cannot adequately illuminate other areas within the cabinet, especially corners.

The light-emitting surface of the LED tube and the toggle arm are both exposed through the clearance window.

[0006] Furthermore, at least one switch piece is fitted with an O-ring on its outer periphery, and the switch piece is interference-fitted into the mounting cavity of the mounting base through the O-ring, thereby allowing the LED tube to be rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity of the mounting base with damping.

These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments.

Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", and "rear" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a rotatable LED cabinet light, including a mounting base 10 and an LED tube 20. The mounting base 10 is provided with an elongated mounting cavity 111. The mounting cavity 111 has a clearance window 112 extending along its length. Specifically, the cross-section of the mounting cavity 111 is C-shaped, that is, the cross-section of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 111 is an arc greater than 180°, which is used to install the LED tube 20.

[0026] The LED tube 20 is fixed at both ends with dialing components 21, each dialing component 21 having a protruding toggle arm 211. The LED tube 20 is rotatably mounted with damping within the mounting cavity 111 of the mounting base 10. Specifically, the rotatable mounting with damping means that the LED tube 20 has a certain static friction (i.e., damping force) within the mounting cavity 111, requiring an external force to overcome the damping force to rotate the LED tube 20; and this damping force allows it to remain in place after the external force applied to the LED tube 20 is removed. The light-emitting surface of the LED tube 20 and the toggle arm 211 are both exposed through the clearance window 112, allowing the LED tube 20 to emit light normally for illumination.

[0027] This embodiment uses a long strip-shaped LED tube 20 for illumination, achieving a large illumination range along its length. During installation, the long strip-shaped LED tube 20 extends horizontally. When adjusting the illumination in the width direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction) perpendicular to the length direction, the lever 211 is manually moved to rotate the LED tube 20 within the mounting cavity 111. Once the tube reaches a suitable angle (e.g., a 50° forward rotation), the external force is removed, and the LED tube 20 is held in its current position by the damping force between it and the mounting base 10. To readjust the angle, the lever 211 is moved again to rotate the LED tube 20. This design features a simple structure and easy operation.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a preferred method for achieving a damped rotatable assembly of the LED tube 20 within the mounting cavity 111 of the fixed base 10 is as follows: at least one of the two dial switches 21 has an O-ring 23 mounted on its outer periphery. In this embodiment, the O-ring 23 is provided on one end of the dial switch. The dial switch 21 is interference-fitted into the mounting cavity 111 of the fixed base 10 via the O-ring 23. The O-ring 23 is made of rubber and has excellent elastic deformation capability. The O-ring 23 effectively fills the gap between the dial switch 21 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 111, creating static friction (i.e., damping force) between the dial switch 21 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 111. Thus, the LED tube 20 is rotatably assembled with damping within the mounting cavity 111 of the fixed base 10. Using the O-ring 23 to achieve a damped rotatable assembly is a low-cost and easily implemented method. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to achieve the above-mentioned damped rotatable assembly, such as providing rough surfaces on the outer periphery of the dial component 21 and the inner wall surface of the mounting cavity 111, and achieving the damped rotatable assembly through the contact between the rough surfaces.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting base 10 also has a receiving cavity 113 disposed opposite to the mounting cavity 111. The receiving cavity 113 houses a battery 31 and a driver board 32. The battery 31 is connected to the driver board 32, and the driver board 32 is connected to the LED light source 22 of the LED tube 20 to drive the LED light source 22 to operate. Integrating both the battery 31 and the driver board 32 inside the lamp body makes full use of the internal space.

[0030] The mounting base 10 includes a long, narrow main housing 11, a long, narrow base plate 12, and two end caps 13. The first side of the main housing 11 forms the mounting cavity 111, and the base plate 12 is fitted onto the second side of the main housing 11, together forming the receiving cavity 113. Specifically, the main housing 11 adopts a profile structure. The two end caps 13 are respectively fitted onto the two ends of the main housing 11 to seal the openings at both ends of the receiving cavity 113 and the mounting cavity 111. During assembly, the LED tube 20 can be inserted through the end opening of the mounting cavity 111, and the battery 31 and driver board 32 can be fixed to the base plate 12. Then, the base plate 12 is inserted from one end of the main housing 11, and finally, the end caps 13 are installed to complete the assembly. The assembly operation is simple.

[0031] Specifically, the battery 31 is a rechargeable battery, and one of the end caps 13 is also provided with a charging interface for connecting the battery, which can be charged periodically.

[0032] Of course, in other embodiments, the battery 31 may also be a dry cell battery or the like; or the battery 31 may not be used, such as the drive board 32 being directly connected to the mains power for power supply.

[0033] Furthermore, the DIP switch 21 has a circular structure and a through channel 212 extending into the interior of the LED tube 20. The wiring harness connecting the LED light source 22 and the driver board 32 of the LED tube 20 passes through the through channel 212 of one of the DIP switches 21 to facilitate the electrical connection between the driver board 32 and the LED light source 22.

[0034] Furthermore, the mounting base 10 is provided with a fixing member 40 for fixing and installing the LED cabinet light inside the cabinet. Specifically, the fixing member 40 is a magnet, which is fixed to the base plate 12; the fixing is achieved by magnetic attraction, which is simple in structure, does not damage the cabinet, and is easy to install and remove. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing member 40 can also be a vacuum suction cup, bolt, or other existing components.

[0035] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
