Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of LED light strips, and in particular to an LED light strip that is easy to replace. Background Technology

[0002] LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is a type of LED strip. LED strips are made by assembling LEDs on a strip-shaped FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or PCB (Rigid Printed Circuit). They are named for their strip-like shape. LED strips can be divided into rigid LED strips and flexible LED strips.

[0003] Currently, after prolonged use, the LEDs or resistors inside the existing LED light strips may become damaged due to the FPC. However, since the existing LED light strips and the external transparent plastic used for protection are designed as a single unit, it is difficult to repair the internal LEDs or FPC after they are damaged, and the entire strip must be replaced, resulting in waste. Utility Model Content

[0020] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an easily replaceable LED light strip includes: a plastic sheet 1, a power plug 2, and a flexible FPC board 3. The top center of the plastic sheet 1 has an open design, and the central plate is also open. A transparent plastic protective cover 12 is movably connected to the top of the plastic sheet 1. Slots 121 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the transparent plastic protective cover 12 near the plastic sheet 1. The flexible FPC board 3 is movably inserted into the center of the plastic sheet 1. A sliding groove is provided at the center of the bottom of the plastic sheet 1, and a sliding insert 15 is slidably connected in the groove. An LED light 31 and a resistor 32 are provided on the flexible FPC board 3. The power plug 2 is electrically connected to the flexible FPC board 3 via a wire. It should be noted that the lines, solder mask, and characters on the flexible FPC board 3 are all implemented using digital inkjet printing technology, replacing the original screen printing technology. Furthermore, the plastic sheet 1 is made of flexible plastic and can be bent and deformed to a certain extent.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown in one embodiment, the top of the transparent plastic protective cover 12 is an arched semi-circular transparent soft plastic, while the plate at the bottom of the transparent soft plastic is an opaque plastic flexible board. It should be noted that the LED light 31 on the flexible FPC board 3 is exactly perpendicular to the semi-circular transparent soft plastic, so that the light source emitted by the LED light 31 is not blocked by the outside.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown in one embodiment, plastic connecting plates 13 are provided on both sides of the top opening of the plastic plate 1. The shape and size of the sides of the plastic connecting plates 13 are adapted to the shape and size of the sides of the slots 121. It should be noted that when the worker needs to connect the plastic plate 1 and the transparent plastic protective cover 12 together, first pry open the plastic connecting plates 13 on both sides of the top opening of the plastic plate 1 (with slight force), then insert the transparent plastic protective cover 12 into the top opening of the plastic plate 1, aligning the slots 121 and the plastic connecting plates 13, and then release the plastic plate 1.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown in one embodiment, LED lights 31 are arranged horizontally and longitudinally at equal intervals in the center of the flexible FPC board 3, and resistors 32 are arranged horizontally and longitudinally at equal intervals on the flexible FPC board 3. The flexible FPC board 3 is located in the center of the slot in the plastic sheet 1. It should be noted that two resistors 32 are provided on both sides of each LED light 31.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown in one embodiment, the bottom of the left and right sides of the plastic board 1 are provided with strap insertion interfaces 11 at equal intervals along the horizontal direction, and the strap insertion interfaces 11 on the left and right sides of the plastic board 1 are parallel and corresponding to each other. It should be noted that this design makes it convenient for workers to insert plastic straps into the strap insertion interfaces 11, thereby making it convenient for workers to use straps to fix the LED and other items to the tree trunk or column.

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, a heat dissipation layer 14 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the plastic sheet 1, and the heat dissipation layer 14 is located at the bottom of the flexible FPC sheet 3. It should be noted that the heat dissipation layer 14 is made of silicone and is used to dissipate heat from the flexible FPC sheet 3.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown in one embodiment, the width of the side of the sliding insert 15 is the same as the width of the side of the groove at the bottom of the plastic sheet 1, and a double-sided adhesive 151 is provided in the center of the bottom of the sliding insert 15. It should be noted that this design allows workers to directly attach it to the wall surface using the double-sided adhesive 151.

[0028] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
