Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a light strip connecting component and a light strip. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of LED lighting technology, high-voltage COB LED strips have been widely used in commercial lighting, home decoration, and display case lighting due to their advantages such as high light density, no spot-like light spots, and large-angle bending. In previous technologies, a pair of copper contacts were typically installed on the power cord and soldered to the solder points on the strip body. Nowadays, with more and more people purchasing products online, manually installing the strip after purchase is a popular method. This method greatly reduces the difficulty of connecting the strip and improves the customer's installation experience. However, without soldering, the stability between the copper contacts at the input end and the solder points on the strip is poor, leading to unstable operation. Customers are prone to blind assembly, making installation difficult, and even after installation, unstable connections may result in inconsistent circuit continuity. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a light strip connection component and light strip system, which aims to solve the technical problems of high installation difficulty and unstable circuit after installation in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a light strip connecting assembly. Includes: a front insert, a clamping plate, and a series connection assembly, wherein one end of the front insert is connected to a power cord, and the other end is provided with a conductive sheet electrically connected to the power cord; The conductive sheet can be inserted into the main body of the light strip to form an electrical connection with the electrodes of the light strip; The clamping plate is held on the main body of the light strip and is used to squeeze the main body of the light strip so that the internal light strip electrode and the conductive sheet form a stable electrical contact; One end of the serial connector is detachably connected to the front insert, and the other end is connected to the main body of the light strip. It has a cavity inside that can be inserted into the clamping plate and the clamping part of the clamping plate.

[0005] Before installing the power cord and LED strip, insert the conductive plate into the LED strip body, clamp the clip onto the LED strip body, and press the body to ensure stable contact between the conductive plate and the LED strip electrodes. This allows the user to check the circuit continuity. Once the circuit connection is stable, use the series connector to connect the power cord and LED strip body together. This design improves the stability of the LED strip circuit connection, and is simple to install with a secure connection.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a first nut and a second nut with internal threads, and the front insert has external threads. One end of the first nut has an internal thread that engages with the external thread of the front insert, and the other end has an external thread that engages with the internal thread of the second nut, thereby enabling the connecting assembly to connect the front insert to the light strip body.

[0007] The cascade assembly uses a nut structure, which facilitates user installation and ensures connection stability.

[0008] Preferably, the external thread end of the first nut is provided with an elastic pressure plate distributed circumferentially along the first nut, and a silicone ring is provided between the elastic pressure plate and the light strip body.

[0009] An elastic pressure plate and a silicone ring are provided on the first nut. When the first nut and the second nut are threaded together, the second nut can squeeze the elastic pressure plate, causing the elastic pressure plate to deform and squeeze the silicone ring to form a waterproof layer with a waterproof rating of IP65 or higher.

[0010] Preferably, the front insert is fitted with a silicone pad.

[0011] The first nut and the front insert are connected by threads to compress the silicone pad, making the connection waterproof, while forming double-sided waterproofing with the silicone ring on the other side.

[0012] Preferably, the clamp includes a first clamp, a second clamp, and a rotating member with a snap-fit ​​portion. The first clamp and the second clamp are snap-fitted together and are respectively disposed on both sides of the light strip body. The first clamp has a through hole for the rotating member to be inserted into and press the light strip body. The inner wall of the through hole has a notch. After the snap-fit ​​portion passes through the notch, it is engaged with the inner wall of the through hole by rotating the rotating member.

[0013] The downward pressure from the rotating component ensures stable contact between the conductive sheet and the LED strip electrode inside the LED strip body, maintaining unobstructed flow. The snap-fit ​​mechanism also facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, enhancing convenience.

[0014] Preferably, the first chuck and the second chuck are provided with serrated teeth that engage with each other.

[0015] The clamping teeth can increase the friction between the clamping plate and the main body of the light strip, making the connection between the clamping plate and the main body of the light strip more stable, less likely to fall off, and maintaining circuit stability.

[0016] Preferably, the first clamp and the second clamp are provided with at least two side baffles.

[0017] The side baffle can restrict the position of the main body of the light strip, preventing it from moving or falling off at will.

[0018] On the other hand, this utility model discloses a light strip, wherein a rectifier is connected to the end of the power cord away from the front plug, and a tail plug is installed at the tail end of the light strip body.

[0019] The rectifier converts the current from the power supply into DC power that the LED strip can use, ensuring a stable current supply, and the tail plug protects the end of the LED strip.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The clamp design makes the circuit connection of the light strip more secure, allowing users to easily determine whether the circuit conduction is stable before fixing the power cord to the light strip body, reducing the risk of reinstallation, improving efficiency, and enhancing the installation experience. The elastic pressure plate and silicone ring at one end of the series component make the connection with the light strip body more stable, while the compression further improves the waterproof effect, reaching IP65 level or higher, and cooperates with the silicone pad at the other end to form a tight waterproof effect on both sides.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a light strip connection assembly is disclosed, including: a front plug 1, a clamping plate 2 and a series connection assembly 3. One end of the front plug 1 is connected to a power cord 4, and the other end is provided with a conductive sheet 5 that is electrically connected to the power cord 4. The conductive sheet 5 can be inserted into the main body 6 of the light strip to form an electrical connection with the light strip electrode 61; The clamp 2 is clamped on the light strip body 6 and is used to squeeze the light strip body 6 so that the internal light strip electrode 61 and the conductive sheet 5 form a stable electrical contact. One end of the serial connector 3 is detachably connected to the front plug 1, and the other end is connected to the light strip body 6. It has a cavity inside that can be inserted into the clamping plate 2 and the clamping part of the clamping plate 2.

[0029] Before installing the power cord 4 and the LED strip, insert the conductive sheet 5 into the LED strip body 6, clamp the clip 2 onto the LED strip body 6, and press the LED strip body 6 to ensure that the conductive sheet 5 makes firm contact with the LED strip electrode 61 inside the LED strip body 6. This allows the user to determine whether the circuit is conductive. After the circuit connection is stable, use the series connector 3 to connect the power cord 4 and the LED strip body 6 together. This design improves the stability of the LED strip circuit connection, and is simple to install and provides a secure connection.

[0030] The front connector 1 is a power cord 4 connector used to connect to the LED strip body 6. The front connector 1 has two exposed conductive tabs 5 that can be inserted into the LED strip body 6 and contact the internal LED strip electrodes 61, forming electrical conductivity. The clamping plate 2 further stabilizes the contact and ensures smooth operation. The clamping plate 2 and its clamping portion can be inserted into the series connector 3. One end of the series connector 3 is detachably connected to the front connector 1, and the other end is connected to the LED strip body 6. This allows the front connector 1 to be connected to the LED strip body 6 via the series connector 3 when inserted, facilitating installation. The LED strip body 6 adopts a COB structure, with copper foil electrodes on both sides of the light-emitting chip providing conductivity. Because the clamping plate 2 provides stable clamping force, no additional soldering is required; good conductivity can be achieved using only copper foil, thus reducing costs.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, the connecting assembly 3 includes a first nut 31 and a second nut 32 with internal threads. The front insert 1 is provided with external threads. One end of the first nut 31 is provided with internal threads that cooperate with the external threads of the front insert 1, and the other end is provided with external threads that cooperate with the internal threads of the second nut 32, thereby realizing the connection between the front insert 1 and the light strip body 6 by the connecting assembly 3.

[0032] The cascade assembly 3 uses a nut structure, which facilitates user installation and ensures connection stability.

[0033] The first nut 31 is a long cylindrical nut with an internal thread at one end and an external thread at the other. Its internal cavity can accommodate the clamping plate 2 and the LED strip body 6 held by the clamping plate 2. The front insert 1 has a threaded structure adapted to the first nut 31 for easy connection. The second nut 32 is a short internally threaded nut that connects threadedly to the first nut 31. The first nut 31 connects the power cord 4 and the LED strip body 6 together via the series connector 3 through the threaded connection at both ends, reducing installation difficulty and increasing convenience.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the external thread end of the first nut 31 is provided with an elastic pressure plate 311 distributed circumferentially along the first nut 31, and a silicone ring 7 is provided between the elastic pressure plate 311 and the light strip body 6.

[0035] An elastic pressure plate 311 is provided on the first nut 31, and a silicone ring 7 is provided. When the first nut 31 and the second nut 32 are threadedly connected, the second nut 32 can squeeze the elastic pressure plate 311, causing the elastic pressure plate 311 to deform and squeeze the silicone ring 7 to form a waterproof layer with a waterproof rating of IP65 or higher.

[0036] Multiple elastic pressure plates 311 are located at the ends of the external threads, each rectangular in shape. A certain gap is maintained between the elastic pressure plates 311 and the LED strip body 6 to accommodate the silicone ring 7. The silicone ring 7 is a hollow cylinder that fits onto the LED strip body 6. The inner diameter of the second nut 32 is slightly smaller than the outer circumference of one elastic pressure plate 311, so that when the first nut 31 is installed, it can compress the elastic pressure plates 311, thereby causing elastic deformation to compress the silicone ring 7, and then compress the LED strip body 6 to form a seal, thus completing the work of securely connecting the series assembly 3 to the LED strip body 6 and waterproofing.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, a silicone pad 12 is fitted onto the front insert 1.

[0038] The first nut 31 and the front insert 1 are connected by threads to compress the silicone pad 12, making the connection waterproof, and at the same time forming double-sided waterproof with the silicone ring 7 on the other side.

[0039] A silicone pad 12 is fitted around the outer side of the external thread of the front insert 1. The first nut 31 can compress the silicone pad 12 to form a waterproof seal between the front insert 1 and the first nut 31, and form double-sided waterproof with the silicone ring 7 on the other side, ensuring that the internal part of the connecting component is waterproof.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the clamp 2 includes a first clamp 21, a second clamp 22, and a rotating member 23 with a snap-fit ​​portion 231. The first clamp 21 and the second clamp 22 are snap-fitted together and are respectively disposed on both sides of the light strip body 6. The first clamp 21 has a through hole 211 for the rotating member 23 to be inserted into and press the light strip body 6. The inner wall of the through hole 211 has a notch 212. After the snap-fit ​​portion 231 passes through the notch 212, it forms a snap-fit ​​engagement with the inner wall of the through hole 211 by rotating the rotating member 23.

[0041] The downward pressing of the rotating part 23 ensures stable contact between the conductive sheet 5 and the LED strip electrode 61 inside the LED strip body 6, maintaining unobstructed flow. The snap-fit ​​mechanism facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, improving convenience.

[0042] The first clamp 21 and the second clamp 22 are fastened to the main body 6 of the light strip. They cooperate with each other through a set of snap-fit ​​structures, allowing the clamp plate 2 to be installed on the main body 6 of the light strip. The first clamp 21 has a through hole 211, and there is a pair of symmetrically arranged notches 212 on the inner wall of the through hole 211. The other part of the inner wall of the through hole 211 protrudes inward. The top of the rotating part 23 is a circular knob shape, and the lower end is a cylinder with a diameter smaller than the top. The cylinder can pass through the through hole, and there are symmetrically arranged snap-fit ​​parts 231 on both sides, which can pass through the notches 212 on the inner wall of the through hole 211. Align the snap-fit ​​part 231 of the rotating part 23 with the notch 212 and press it down to squeeze the light strip body 6. Then rotate it in parallel so that the snap-fit ​​part 231 is locked in the protruding position of the inner wall of the through hole 211, thus completing the stable squeezing state of the rotating part 23 and making the conductive sheet 5 and the light strip electrode 61 stably electrically connected. When disassembly is required, rotate the rotating part 23 again so that the snap-fit ​​part 231 is turned to the notch 212, and then the rotating part 23 can be pulled out. Then disconnect the power cord 4 from the light strip body 6.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the first chuck 21 and the second chuck 22 are provided with serrated teeth 9 that engage with each other.

[0044] The clamping teeth 9 can increase the friction between the clamping plate 2 and the light strip body 6, making the connection between the clamping plate 2 and the light strip body 6 more stable, less likely to fall off, and maintaining circuit stability.

[0045] The first clamp 21 and the second clamp 22 are provided with two rows of serrated teeth 9. The teeth 9 are arranged parallel to the light strip body 6, which can clamp the light strip body 6 and increase the friction.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the first clamp 21 and the second clamp 22 are provided with at least two side baffles 8.

[0047] The side baffle 8 can restrict the position of the light strip body 6, preventing it from moving or falling off at will.

[0048] The first clamp 21 and the second clamp 22 are provided with side baffles 8 parallel to the clamping teeth 9 on both sides to prevent the light strip body 6 from falling off from the side.

[0049] On the other hand, this utility model discloses a light strip, wherein a rectifier 41 is connected to the end of the power cord 4 away from the front plug 1, and a tail plug 62 is installed at the tail end of the light strip body 6.

[0050] The rectifier 41 converts the current from the power supply into DC power that the LED strip can use, ensuring a stable current supply, and the tail plug 62 can protect the tail end of the LED strip.

[0051] Furthermore, a plug is provided at one end of the rectifier 41 to connect to the mains power. The rectifier 41 converts the current into a current suitable for the light strip and transmits it to the light strip. A tail plug 62 is sealed with glue at the end of the light strip to make the end of the light strip body 6 waterproof and protect the end of the light strip body 6.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
