A PCB circuit board is mounted inside the connector housing, with the power cable soldered to the center of the PCB for connection to the light body.

[0003] Traditional connectors on the market typically use screws to fix the PCB board inside the connector housing, making disassembly and repair difficult and prone to damaging the PCB board or the connector housing. However, some existing connectors... Figure 5 The connector shown is used to fix the PCB board by snapping it onto both ends. However, this results in a fixed PCB board length, making it incompatible with PCB boards of different lengths from different manufacturers, leading to poor compatibility. Summary of the Invention

[0010] As described above, a linear light connector that is easy to assemble and disassemble and has high compatibility also includes a positioning bracket. A power cord is provided at the center of the PCB board, and a wire-passing hole for the power cord to pass through is provided at the center of the positioning bracket. The positioning bracket is embedded in a first mounting groove and located above the PCB board.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical 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.

[0018] Specific embodiments, such as Figure 1-4 The illustrated linear light connector is easy to assemble and disassemble and has high compatibility. It includes: a connector housing 1 with a first mounting groove 2 extending through the connector housing 1 along its length; a support platform 3 extending upwards along the bottom of the first mounting groove 2; a limiting connecting post 4 extending upwards along the bottom of the first mounting groove 2, the limiting connecting post 4 having a connecting hole 41; two fixing protrusions 5 positioned opposite each other on the two inner sidewalls of the connector housing 1; and a PCB board 6 embedded in the first mounting groove 2 and placed on the support platform 3. The PCB board 6 has a limiting groove 61 corresponding to and matching the limiting connecting post 4. When the PCB board 6 is embedded in the first mounting groove 2 and placed on the support platform 3, the limiting connecting post 4 passes through the corresponding limiting groove 61 to restrict the PCB board 6 from moving horizontally, and the fixing protrusion 5 is fastened to the long side of the PCB board 6 to restrict the PCB board 6 from moving vertically. During production and assembly, the PCB board is placed directly on the support platform. The limiting connecting post passes through the corresponding limiting groove to restrict the PCB board from moving horizontally, and the fixing buckle is set on the long side of the PCB board to restrict the PCB board from moving vertically, thus achieving fixed installation of the PCB board without the need for screw fixation, making disassembly and assembly convenient. In contrast, the connector of this application does not limit the two ends of the PCB board. Instead, it uses the position of the corresponding limiting connecting post on the PCB board to cut grooves on the PCB board to limit its horizontal movement. Therefore, it can adapt to PCB boards of different lengths, increasing compatibility.

[0019] Specifically, the upper end of the fixing protrusion 5 is provided with an installation slope 7. This facilitates the PCB board 6 to pass over the fixing protrusion 5, making installation more convenient.

[0020] In addition, multiple fixing protrusions 5 are arranged along the length of the connector housing 1. This provides more stable fixation and prevents the PCB board from shifting during the potting process.

[0021] Furthermore, the two support platforms 3 are disposed opposite each other in the first mounting groove 2 along the width direction of the connector housing 1, and the plurality of support platforms 3 are arranged along the length direction of the connector housing 1. This provides stable support.

[0022] More specifically, there are two limiting connecting posts 4, which are respectively located on both sides of the central axis of the connector housing 1. The two limiting connecting posts 4, together with the limiting groove 61, limit the movement of the PCB board 6, thereby stably restricting the movement of the PCB board 6 along the length direction; at the same time, the two side walls of the connector housing 1 restrict the movement of the PCB board 6 along the width direction.

[0023] Furthermore, due to the waterproofing process requiring the connector housing to be filled with waterproof adhesive, after the adhesive cures, the power lines on the PCB board cannot be guaranteed to be centered on the connector housing. This causes the power lines on the connector housing PCB board to misalign with the through holes of the linear light body, resulting in damaged power lines and an increased rework rate. The connector in this application also includes a positioning bracket 8. A power line 9 is located at the center of the PCB board 6, and a through hole 10 for the power line 9 to pass through is located at the center of the positioning bracket 8. The positioning bracket 8 is embedded in the first mounting groove 2 and located above the PCB board 6. The two limiting connecting posts 4 restrict the movement of the positioning bracket 8 along the length direction of the connector housing 1, and the inner wall of the first mounting groove 2 restricts the movement of the positioning bracket 8 along the width direction of the connector housing 1. Two limiting connecting posts restrict the movement of the PCB board and positioning bracket along the length of the connector housing, while the inner wall of the first mounting slot restricts the movement of the PCB board and positioning bracket along the width of the connector housing, preventing the PCB board and positioning bracket from shifting in the horizontal direction. The fixing clip protrusion restricts the movement of the PCB board in the vertical direction, and the positioning bracket keeps the PCB board balanced. At the same time, the power cord is led out through the wire hole of the positioning bracket to prevent displacement during potting, ensuring that the power cord exits in the center and corresponds to the wire hole of the linear light body, reducing the rework rate.

[0024] Furthermore, the positioning bracket 8 is Z-shaped, including a central plate portion 81 and two extension plate portions 82 extending horizontally from the side of the central plate portion 81 along the length direction of the connector housing 1. The wire passage hole 10 is provided on the central plate portion 81, and the central plate portion 81 facing the PCB board 6 and located around the wire passage hole 10 is provided with a first positioning foot 83. The extension plate portions 82 facing the PCB board 6 are provided with a second positioning foot 84. The first positioning foot 83 and the second positioning foot 84 are of the same length. By pressing the PCB board with the first positioning foot 83 and the second positioning foot 84, the PCB board is kept in a balanced position. At the same time, the first positioning foot 83 and the second positioning foot 84 raise the position of the central plate portion 81, i.e., the wire passage hole 10, so that the power cable 9 can be led out from the wire passage hole 10. This prevents the power cable from shifting during the potting process and ensures that it is centered to correspond with the position of the lamp wire passage hole.

[0025] Specifically, the central plate portion 81 has a wire annular protrusion 11 extending upward along the periphery of the wire hole 10. This facilitates the routing of the power wire.

[0026] More specifically, the end of the extension plate 82 away from the center plate 81 abuts against the limiting connecting post 4, and the long side of the extension plate 82 abuts against the wall of the first mounting groove 2. This prevents the positioning bracket 8 from moving in the horizontal direction and ensures that the center position of the wire hole 10 remains unchanged.

Furthermore, due to different industry naming conventions, it is not limited to the above names or English names. Any methods or structures similar to or identical to those of this utility model, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this utility model, should be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
