Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a central light-emitting structure for a lamp connector. Background Technology

[0002] In lighting system design, the combined installation of multiple luminaires is a common requirement, typically relying on connectors for electrical and mechanical connections. Existing connector structures focus solely on conductivity, lacking any integrated light-emitting elements, resulting in no light output at the connection point. When multiple luminaires are connected in series using such connectors, a noticeable light interruption area forms at the connection point, creating visual dark spots. These dark spots disrupt lighting continuity, causing uneven overall luminous efficacy, significantly impacting aesthetic harmony and reducing product visual quality and user experience, especially in decorative lighting scenarios. Furthermore, traditional connectors lack mechanisms to guide or enhance light, further exacerbating the dark spot problem and creating a disjointed feel at critical connection points, failing to meet the demands of modern lighting for seamless visual effects.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this application provides a central light-emitting structure for a lamp connector, comprising: The connector body 1 allows two or more lamps 100 to be connected at one end to the connector body 1 for series connection. The light-emitting component 2 is disposed inside the connector body 1; A light-transmitting top cover 3 is connected to the connector body 1, wherein the light-emitting component 2 can project light through the light-transmitting top cover 3.

[0020] In this embodiment 1, the connector body 1 is a common prior art in the field, made of a material with certain strength and insulation properties to ensure the stability and safety of the electrical connection. This application uses it simply and will not describe it in detail here.

[0021] More specifically, the connector body 1 in this embodiment can be designed as a hollow structure, forming an internal cavity to accommodate the light-emitting component 2. Multiple interfaces 10 can be provided on this body for the connection of the lamp 100. The material of the connector body 1 can be engineering plastic or metal alloy to meet the requirements of strength, insulation, or heat dissipation. For example, the connector body 1 can be integrally molded as a circular or square shell with several slots or threaded holes distributed circumferentially for mechanical fixing and electrical connection of the lamp 100.

[0022] In this embodiment 1, the lamp 100 is a common prior art device that connects and transmits electrical energy through the connector body 1. One end of each lamp 100 is connected to the interface 10 on the connector body 1, thereby realizing the electrical connection between multiple lamps 100 to form an integrated lighting system.

[0023] More specifically, one end of the luminaire 100 can be designed with a plug or terminal block. These plugs or terminals can be inserted into or fixed to a pre-set interface 10 on the connector body 1. Inside the connector body 1, a conductive busbar or terminal block can be provided for connecting all the connected luminaires 100 in series. For example, the connection end of the luminaire 100 can be connected to the wires or contacts inside the connector body 1 using a simple crimping or screw fixing method, thereby realizing the transmission of electrical energy.

[0024] In this embodiment 1, the light-transmitting top cover 3 can be made of a material with light-transmitting properties, allowing the light generated by the light-emitting component 2 to penetrate and be projected into the external space, while also protecting the internal components.

[0025] By incorporating a light-emitting component 2 within the connector body 1 and projecting light outwards with a translucent top cover 3, the problem of dark spots in the connection area caused by the lack of light emission in traditional lamp connectors is effectively solved. This results in more uniform illumination at the connection points of multiple lamps 100, improving the overall coordination and aesthetics of the lighting system. This structure also enables the connector body 1 itself to possess lighting functionality, avoiding visual discontinuities and thus improving the overall visual effect of the lamps.

[0026] Furthermore, the light-emitting component 2 includes a reflector 21 connected to the connector body 1, wherein the reflector 21 can reflect the light emitted by the lamp 100 toward the connector body 1 out of the light-transmitting top cover 3.

[0027] By using reflector 21, light emitted from the connection end of luminaire 100 can be effectively collected and redirected, converging and guiding light that might otherwise be scattered or emitted directly, resulting in uneven lighting, so that it is evenly projected outward through the light-transmitting top cover 3. This significantly improves the lighting uniformity of the luminaire connection part, eliminates possible dark spots, and thus enhances the overall lighting effect and visual aesthetics.

[0028] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​structure 4 is provided between the light-emitting component 2 and the connector body 1.

[0029] By using the snap-fit ​​structure 4, the light-emitting component 2 can be firmly fixed inside the connector body 1, preventing the light-emitting component 2 from shaking or shifting due to insecure installation. This ensures the accuracy of the light reflection path, avoids uneven dark spots or light patches caused by the displacement of the light-emitting component 2, and thus improves the optical performance and overall aesthetics of the central light-emitting structure of the entire lamp connector, making the lighting of the lamp connection part more coordinated and consistent.

[0030] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​structure 4 includes a plurality of snap-fit ​​interfaces 41 opened on the connector body 1, and snap-fit ​​hooks 42 protruding from the lower end of the light-emitting component 2 and capable of being embedded in the snap-fit ​​interfaces 41.

[0031] With the cooperation of the card interface 41 and the hook 42, when the light-emitting component 2 is installed into the connector body 1, the hook 42 protruding from its lower end aligns with the card interface 41 on the connector body 1. By applying appropriate pressure, the hook 42 can smoothly embed into the card interface 41 to form a tight mechanical fit, thereby firmly fixing the light-emitting component 2 to the connector body 1. This provides a reliable fixing point, ensuring the stable position of the light-emitting component 2 within the connector body 1 and effectively avoiding loosening or falling off due to insecure fixing.

[0032] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​design eliminates the need for additional fasteners or tools. Installation is completed simply by aligning the hook 42 on the light-emitting component 2 with the card interface 41 and pressing it down, significantly improving assembly convenience and efficiency. When maintenance or replacement of the light-emitting component 2 is required, the snap-fit ​​can be easily disengaged through specific operations, facilitating disassembly and reinstallation.

[0033] In this embodiment 1, the hook 42 is correspondingly protruded at the lower end of the reflector 21.

[0034] Furthermore, an assembly limiting mechanism 6 is provided between the connector body 1 and the light-transmitting top cover 3.

[0035] The assembly limiting mechanism 6 securely fixes the light-transmitting top cover 3 to the connector body 1. This stable fixing method effectively solves the problems of loosening, displacement, or detachment of the light-transmitting top cover 3 during assembly or use. Therefore, the path and angle of the light-emitting component 2 projecting light through the light-transmitting top cover 3 are precisely maintained, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of light projection and avoiding localized dark spots or uneven light patches caused by displacement of the light-transmitting top cover 3. This significantly improves the overall aesthetics and lighting effect of the central light-emitting structure of the luminaire connector. At the same time, the assembly limiting mechanism 6 also greatly enhances the reliability and service life of the entire central light-emitting structure of the luminaire connector.

[0036] Specifically, the assembly limiting mechanism 6 includes a plurality of snap-fit ​​grooves 61 provided on the connector body 1, and a plurality of elastic snap-fit ​​parts 62 provided at the lower end of the light-transmitting top cover 3 and capable of being correspondingly embedded in the snap-fit ​​grooves 61.

[0037] The interlocking groove 61 and the elastic locking part 62 are designed to work together. The elastic locking part 62, utilizing its elastic properties, automatically locks itself after being inserted into the groove 61, forming a reliable mechanical connection. This effectively prevents the light-transmitting top cover 3 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force. This interlocking method not only simplifies the assembly process and avoids the complexity of traditional threaded connections or adhesives, but also ensures the fixed position of the light-transmitting top cover 3 during long-term use. This guarantees a stable and uniform light direction projected by the light-emitting component 2, preventing dark spots or uneven light patches caused by displacement of the light-transmitting top cover 3, and further enhancing the aesthetics and practicality of the central light-emitting structure of the lamp connector.

[0038] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​groove 61 is provided with a snap-fit ​​notch 610 on its side wall, and the elastic snap-fit ​​part 62 is provided with a pressing piece 620 that can be embedded in the snap-fit ​​notch 610.

[0039] When the connector body 1 is assembled with the light-transmitting top cover 3, the pressing piece 620 on the elastic snap-fit ​​part 62, after entering the snap-fit ​​groove 61, can precisely embed into the pre-set snap-fit ​​notch 610 on the side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 61. This embedded locking mechanism adds an extra mechanical locking point to the original snap-fit ​​engagement, effectively preventing the elastic snap-fit ​​part 62 from accidentally loosening or falling out of the snap-fit ​​groove 61 when subjected to vibration, impact, or external tension. At the same time, the design of the pressing piece 620 also provides users with a clear pressing operation interface, making the installation and disassembly process more convenient and intuitive. In view of this, this solution significantly improves the reliability and stability of the assembly connection between the connector body 1 and the light-transmitting top cover 3, ensures the robustness of the central light-emitting structure of the lamp connector during long-term use, thereby avoiding dark spots or aesthetic problems caused by loose connections, and further optimizing the overall structural integrity of the lamp and the user experience.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, this application also provides Embodiment 2, in which this embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1. For the sake of simplicity, only the main structural differences from Embodiment 1 are described. The parts not described in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1, and the differences are as follows: The light-emitting component 2 is a light-emitting element 23 connected to the connector body 1.

[0041] By setting the light-emitting element 23 as an independent central light source, it can directly provide active illumination in the central area of ​​the connector body 1, effectively solving the problems of insufficient lighting and dark spots in the central area of ​​the connector body 1. This significantly improves the overall light emission uniformity and aesthetics of the lamp connector, so that when multiple lamps are connected together, there are no longer any uncoordinated dark spots at the connection point, and the overall visual effect is more harmonious and unified.

[0042] In this embodiment 2, the light-emitting element 23 can be a light-emitting lamp board.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, this application also provides Embodiment 3, in which this embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 2. For the sake of simplicity, only the main structural differences from Embodiment 2 are described. The parts not described in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 2, and the differences are as follows: The light-emitting component 2 includes a mounting base connected to the connector body 1, and the light-emitting element 23 is disposed on the mounting base.

[0044] The mounting base is a light-transmitting cover 22.

[0045] By setting the light-emitting element 23 as an independent central light source, it can directly provide active illumination in the central area of ​​the connector body 1, effectively solving the problems of insufficient lighting and dark spots in the central area of ​​the connector body 1. This significantly improves the overall light emission uniformity and aesthetics of the lamp connector, so that when multiple lamps are connected together, there are no longer any uncoordinated dark spots at the connection point, and the overall visual effect is more harmonious and unified.

[0046] Furthermore, a limiting structure 5 is provided between the light-transmitting cover 22 and the light-emitting element 23. The limiting structure 5 includes a plurality of limiting protrusions 51 protruding from the inner sidewall of the light-transmitting cover 22. The light-emitting element 23 extends into the light-transmitting cover 22 and passes through the limiting protrusions 51 to press against the upper surface of the limiting protrusions 51.

[0047] The limiting structure 5 effectively and reliably secures the light-emitting element 23 mechanically. This ensures that the light-emitting element 23 remains in its preset position during installation and use, preventing displacement or loosening caused by vibration, impact, or gravity. This stable fixing method firstly ensures reliable electrical connection of the light-emitting element 23, eliminating flickering or interruption of light emission caused by poor contact and ensuring continuous and stable light output. Secondly, because the optical center of the light-emitting element 23 is precisely aligned with the geometric center of the light-transmitting cover 22, the emitted light can be projected evenly and accurately onto the light-transmitting cover 22 and the light-transmitting top cover 3, effectively avoiding dark spots or uneven light distribution in the illuminated area and significantly improving the overall lighting effect and visual comfort. Furthermore, the stable fixing reduces relative movement and wear between the light-emitting element 23 and the light-transmitting cover 22, lowering the risk of component damage and thus significantly improving the reliability and service life of the entire light-emitting assembly 2.

[0048] The limiting protrusions 51 provide clear physical support and positioning points for the light-emitting element 23. When the light-emitting element 23 extends into the light-transmitting cover 22 and passes through these limiting protrusions 51, its installation path is effectively guided, ensuring that the light-emitting element 23 can be accurately placed in the predetermined position of the light-transmitting cover 22. Subsequently, the light-emitting element 23 is fixed by pressing against the upper surface of the limiting protrusions 51. This pressing action provides stable support in the vertical direction, effectively preventing the light-emitting element 23 from loosening or shifting due to vibration, impact, or other external forces during the operation of the central light-emitting structure of the lamp connector. This precise positioning and reliable fixing mechanism fundamentally solves the problem of insecure installation of the light-emitting element 23, thereby ensuring that the light-emitting element 23 can stably emit uniform light, avoiding unstable light projection or dark spots caused by shaking, and significantly improving the overall luminous effect and aesthetics of the central light-emitting structure of the lamp connector.

[0049] In this embodiment 3, the hook 42 is correspondingly protruded at the lower end of the light-transmitting cover 22.

[0050] In this embodiment 3, the light-emitting element 23 can be a light-emitting lamp board.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, this application also provides Embodiment 4, in which this embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 3. For the sake of simplicity, only the main structural differences from Embodiment 3 are described. The parts not described in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 3, and the differences are as follows: The light-emitting element 23 is mounted on the upper end of the mounting base.

[0052] In summary, this embodiment of the application effectively solves the problem of dark spots in the connection area caused by the lack of light emission in traditional lamp connectors by setting a light-emitting component 2 inside the connector body 1 and projecting light outward with the light-transmitting top cover 3. As a result, the illumination at the connection points of multiple lamps 100 is made more uniform, improving the coordination and aesthetics of the overall lighting system. This structure enables the connector body 1 itself to have an illumination function, avoiding visual discontinuity and thus improving the overall visual effect of the lamps.
