Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector technology, and in particular relates to a linear light connector with a center-outlet cable. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional linear light connector housings have openings at both ends for power cable insertion and exit. The cable enters through one opening and exits through the other. 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] However, due to the waterproofing process, the connector housing needs to be filled with waterproof glue. After the glue solidifies, the power lines on the PCB cannot be guaranteed to be centered on the connector housing. This causes the power lines on the connector housing PCB to not correspond to the through holes of the LED body, increasing the rework rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a linear light connector that ensures the power cord exits in the center and corresponds to the wire hole of the linear light body, thereby reducing the rework rate.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: A linear light connector with a centered cable exit, comprising: The connector housing has an installation cavity, and two limiting connecting posts are arranged opposite each other in the installation cavity. A first support platform extends from the side wall of the two limiting connecting posts towards each other. A PCB board with a power cord at its center is embedded in the mounting cavity and placed on the two first support platforms. The first limiting protrusion extends towards each other along the sidewalls of the two limiting connecting columns and is located above the first support platform, and is used to restrict the PCB board from moving in the vertical direction; The positioning bracket has a cable pass-through hole at its center for the power cable to pass through. The positioning bracket is embedded in the mounting cavity and located above the PCB board. The two limiting connecting posts are used to restrict the movement of the PCB board and the positioning bracket along the length direction of the connector housing. The inner wall of the mounting cavity restricts the movement of the PCB board and the positioning bracket along the width direction of the connector housing.

[0006] As described above, in a linear light connector with a centrally located lead wire, two limiting bosses are also provided opposite to each other in the mounting cavity. A second support platform extends towards each other on the sidewalls of the two limiting bosses, and a second limiting protrusion is located above the second support platform. The PCB board is placed on the first support platform and the second support platform. The limiting bosses are used to restrict the movement of the PCB board along the length direction of the connector housing, and the second limiting protrusion is used to restrict the movement of the PCB board along the vertical direction.

[0007] As described above, in a linear light connector with a centrally located lead wire, the limiting connecting post extends upward from the bottom of the mounting cavity to the opening on the upper part of the mounting cavity, and a connecting hole is provided on the limiting connecting post.

[0008] As described above, in a linear light connector with a centrally located cable, the positioning bracket is Z-shaped and includes a central plate and two extension plates extending horizontally from the side of the central plate along the length of the connector housing. The cable pass-through hole is located on the central plate, and a first positioning foot is provided on the side of the central plate facing the PCB board and located around the cable pass-through hole. A second positioning foot is provided on the side of the extension plates facing the PCB board, and the first positioning foot and the second positioning foot have the same length.

[0009] As described above, in a linear light connector with a centrally located lead wire, the central plate has a wire ring protrusion extending upwards along the periphery of the wire hole.

[0010] As described above, in a linear light connector with a centrally located lead wire, one end of the extension plate portion away from the center plate portion abuts against a limiting connecting post, and the long side of the extension plate portion abuts against the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0011] As described above, in a linear light connector with a centrally located lead wire, when the two ends of the PCB board are engaged between the first limiting protrusion and the first support platform, the two short sides of the PCB board abut against the two limiting connecting posts, and the two long sides of the PCB board abut against the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This utility model provides a linear light connector with a centrally located cable, including a connector housing with an installation cavity, a PCB board with a power cable at its center, a first limiting protrusion, and a positioning bracket embedded in the installation cavity and located above the PCB board. Two limiting connecting posts are arranged opposite each other within the installation cavity, and first support platforms extend towards each other from the side walls of the two limiting connecting posts. The PCB board is embedded in the installation cavity and placed on the two first support platforms. The first limiting protrusion extends towards each other along the side walls of the two limiting connecting posts and is located above the first support platforms. A cable passage hole is provided at the center of the positioning bracket. The two limiting connecting posts restrict the movement of the PCB board and the positioning bracket along the length direction of the connector housing, while the inner wall of the installation cavity restricts the movement of the PCB board and the positioning bracket along the width direction of the connector housing, preventing the PCB board and the positioning bracket from shifting horizontally. The first limiting protrusion restricts the movement of the PCB board vertically, and the positioning bracket keeps the PCB board balanced. Simultaneously, the power cable is led out through the cable passage hole of the positioning bracket, preventing displacement during potting and ensuring that the power cable exits centrally and corresponds to the cable passage hole of the linear light body, reducing the rework rate.

[0018] Specific embodiments, such as Figure 1-5A linear light connector with a centrally located cable is shown, comprising: a connector housing 1 with a mounting cavity 2, wherein two limiting connecting posts 3 are arranged opposite each other in the mounting cavity 2, and first support platforms 4 extend towards each other on the side walls of the two limiting connecting posts 3; a PCB board 5 with a power line 6 at its center, the PCB board 5 being embedded in the mounting cavity 2 and placed on the two first support platforms 4; a first limiting protrusion 7 extending towards each other along the side walls of the two limiting connecting posts 3 and located above the first support platforms 4, used to restrict the vertical movement of the PCB board 5; and a positioning bracket 8 with a through hole 9 at its center for the power line 6 to pass through, the positioning bracket 8 being embedded in the mounting cavity 2 and located above the PCB board 5, the two limiting connecting posts 3 used to restrict the movement of the PCB board 5 and the positioning bracket 8 along the length direction of the connector housing 1, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 2 restricting the movement of the PCB board 5 and 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 mounting cavity 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 first limiting 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 cable is led out through the cable hole of the positioning bracket to prevent displacement during potting, ensuring that the power cable exits in the center and corresponds to the cable hole of the linear light body, avoiding damage to the power cable due to mismatch between the power cable and the cable hole of the linear light body, and reducing the rework rate.

[0019] Specifically, the mounting cavity 2 is further provided with two limiting bosses 10 facing each other. A second support platform 11 and a second limiting protrusion 12 located above the second support platform 11 extend towards each other from the sidewalls of the two limiting bosses 10. The PCB board 5 is placed on the first support platform 4 and the second support platform 11. The limiting bosses 10 restrict the movement of the PCB board 5 along the length direction of the connector housing 1, and the second limiting protrusion 12 restricts the movement of the PCB board 5 in the vertical direction. During assembly, both ends of the PCB board are engaged between the first support platform 4 and the first limiting protrusion 7, and between the second support platform 11 and the second limiting protrusion 12, preventing it from moving during potting.

[0020] In addition, the limiting connecting post 3 extends upward from the bottom of the mounting cavity 2 to the opening on the mounting cavity 2, and the limiting connecting post 3 is provided with a connecting hole 13.

[0021] 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 9 is provided on the central plate portion 81, and the central plate portion 81 facing the PCB board 5 and located around the wire passage hole 9 is provided with a first positioning foot 83. The extension plate portions 82 facing the PCB board 5 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 9, so that the power cable can be led out from the wire passage hole 9. This prevents the power cable from shifting during the potting process and ensures that it is centered to correspond with the wire passage hole position of the lamp.

[0022] More specifically, the central plate portion 81 has a wire annular protrusion 14 extending upward along the periphery of the wire hole 9. This facilitates the routing of the power wire.

[0023] Furthermore, the end of the extension plate 82 away from the center plate 81 abuts against the limiting connecting post 3, and the long side of the extension plate 82 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 2. This prevents the positioning bracket 8 from moving in the horizontal direction and ensures that the centered position of the wire hole 9 remains unchanged.

[0024] Furthermore, when the two ends of the PCB board 5 are engaged between the first limiting protrusion 7 and the first support platform 4, the two short sides of the PCB board 5 abut against the two limiting connecting posts 3, and the two long sides of the PCB board 5 abut against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 2. The structure is more compact, preventing the PCB board 5 from shifting during potting and ensuring that the power line 6 remains in a centered position.

Furthermore, due to different industry naming conventions, it is not limited to the above names or English names.
