[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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 limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an embedded connector for a light strip includes an insulating shell 1, a conductive spring 2, and a power cord 3.

[0027] One end of the conductive spring 2 is provided with a bent contact portion 2-2, and the other end of the conductive spring 2 is engaged with the power line 3, which can ensure that the power line 3 and the conductive spring 2 are in a conductive state.

[0028] The insulating outer shell 1 is provided with a guide groove 1-1, and the bottom of the guide groove 1-1 is provided with a through hole 1-2. The conductive spring piece 2 is inserted into the guide groove 1-1. The bottom of the conductive spring piece 2 is provided with a buckle 2-3, which is inserted into the through hole 1-2. The bent contact part 2-2 protrudes from the insulating outer shell 1, which can quickly fix the conductive spring piece 2 and prevent the conductive spring piece 2 from falling off.

[0029] The embedded connector is plugged into the light strip. The end of the light strip is provided with a plug cavity 4-1. The pads 4-3-1 of the flexible circuit board 4-3 of the light strip are exposed in the plug cavity 4-1. The insulating shell 1 is inserted into the plug cavity 4-1. The bent contact part 2-2 is pressed against the pads 4-3-1 of the flexible circuit board 4-3 of the light strip.

[0030] There are two pads 4-3-1, one for positive and one for negative. Therefore, there are also two conductive springs 2, one for positive and one for negative.

[0031] LED beads and electronic components are installed on the flexible circuit board 4-3.

[0032] The insertion cavity 4-1 of the light strip has a square step 4-1-1 that restricts the vertical movement of the insulating shell 1, and the upper and lower limiting planes 1-1-2 of the insulating shell 1 are attached to the square step 4-1-1.

[0033] The bent contact portion 2-2 includes a first inclined surface 2-2-1, a contact surface 2-2-2, a second inclined surface 2-2-3, and a supporting bottom surface 2-2-4 formed by bending. The first inclined surface 2-2-1, the contact surface 2-2-2, the second inclined surface 2-2-3, and the supporting bottom surface 2-2-4 form a closed frame, which can maintain stable conductive contact with the pad 4-3-1 and avoid poor contact caused by deformation of the spring after repeated use.

[0034] The contact surface 2-2-2 is parallel to the horizontal plane, which allows it to fit well with the pad 4-3-1 and maintain stable conductive contact.

[0035] This utility model provides an embedded connector for a light strip. The embedded connector is inserted into the insertion cavity 4-1 of the light strip 4. In this way, the bent contact portion 2-2 of the connector contacts the two linear pads 4-3-1 of the light strip 4. The upper and lower limiting planes 1-1-2 of the insulating shell 1 are attached to the square step 4-1-1 of the light strip, thereby ensuring that the connector is stuck in the insertion cavity 4-1 of the light strip 4 and cannot move up and down, thus ensuring that there is no poor contact when the conductive spring 2 makes contact and conducts electricity.

[0036] This utility model provides an embedded connector for LED strips, which allows for quick installation and power connection after the LED strip is cut, making installation relatively convenient.

[0037] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
