Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION1. Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates generally to an improved structure, and more particularly to an improved structure of LED tube.2. Description of Related Art

[0002] In the internal structure of a conventional LED tube with power inlet on both sides, the base plate is adhered with a plurality of LED chips, one side of the base plate is welded with a driver having a plurality of electronic components, the two sides of the LED tube are respectively adhered with a cap having two plug pins on the outer side for power inlet, and two pairs of wires are used to respectively connect the driver with the adjacent cap and the plug pins adjacent to the other end of the base plate, the wires being respectively welded to the driver and inside the adjacent plug pins and the plug pins adjacent to the other end of the base plate. Because the driver often fails to start due to damage of the capacitor, the driver is adhered on the one side of the surface of the base plate, and the caps are adhered on the two sides of the LED tube, the LED tube cannot be dismantled for repair and is usually discarded, causing waste of materials and increased amount of garbage. This is not an environment-friendly practice. Moreover, the driver welded on one side of the surface of the base plate of the conventional LED tube occupies a space, and this position provides no space for welding multiple LED chips. Due to lack of LED chips, this position of the base plate is dark and has no light. This will affect the brightness of the LED tube. An LED tube with power inlet on one side has the same problem. This problem greatly affects the practicability of the product. Therefore, it is an aim of those skilled in the art as well as the consumers to overcome this problem.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] To overcome the technical problem of the prior art, the main object of the present invention is to provide an improved structure of LED tube, wherein the two sides of the driver placed on the lower end of the base plate are configured with an outside connector and an inside connector connected via the wires, one side of the LED tube is provided with a cap having plug pins in parallel connection, the inside of the plug pins is connected with the wire with its outer end having an internal connector. This structure aims to solve the problem in the prior art.

[0004] A secondary object of the present invention is to provide an improved structure of LED tube, wherein the inside of the cap of the LED tube has individual independent plug pins connected with the wires, respectively having the internal connectors.

[0005] A third object of the present invention is to provide an improved structure of LED tube, wherein the driver is placed on the lower end of the base plate and the inside connector is connected to the lateral head on one side of the base plate, and the outside connector of the driver is connected with the internal connector of the cap.

[0006] A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved structure of LED tube, wherein the internal connectors inside the cap are independently connected to the two wires of the plug pins, and are respectively connected to the two outside connectors on one side of the driver connected via the wires, the other side of the driver is configured with an inside connector connected via two wires, the inside connector is connected to the lateral head on one side of the base plate that has multiple layers to produce a circuit. Or, the two internal connectors inside the cap are changed into two metal pins to be inserted into the outside connectors of the driver.

Because the driver is adhered on one side of the surface of the base plate, and the caps are adhered to the two sides of the LED tube, the LED tube cannot be disassembled for repair and is usually discarded directly in case of failure. This causes material waste and increased amount of garbage and is therefore not environment-friendly. Moreover, in the prior art, the one side of the surface of the base plate is welded with the driver that occupies a space. As a result, this position cannot be welded with a plurality of the LED chips. The place of the base plate without the LED chips will become dark, thus affecting the brightness of the LED tube and greatly reducing the practical value.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the two internal connectors 32 of the cap 3 are changed into two metal pins 51 inserted into the outside connectors 60 of the driver 4 (as shown in Figs.5~6). When using the present invention, the inside connector 61 of the driver 4 is connected to the lateral head 20 on one side of the base plate 2 provided on one side of the LED tube 1, the outside connectors 60 of the driver 4 are respectively connected to the independent plug pins 31, which become live wire (L) and neutral wire (N). When electric power is supplied, the LED chips 21 of the base plate 2 will light up. In case of failure, press down the LED tube 1 to separate the inserting hole 10 from the inserting convex block 30 inside the cap 3, and pull out the cap 3. After separating the internal connectors 32 from the outside connectors 60 of the driver 4, and separating the inside connector 61 of the driver 4 from the lateral head 20 on the base plate 2, the driver 4 can be taken out. If the wires 5 of the cap 3 are changed into metal pins 51, the metal pins 51 can be separated from the outside connectors 60 of the driver 4.

[0021] In the present invention, the two sides of the driver 4 placed on the lower end of the base plate 2 are respectively provided with wires 5 and respectively have the outside connector 60 and the inside connector 61. One side of the LED tube is provided with the cap 3 and has the plug pins 31 in parallel connection. The internal ends of the plug pins 31 are connected with the wires 5 and the outside ends of the wires are connected with the internal connector 32. Or, the LED tube 1 is provided with the individual independent plug pins 31, and the wires 5 are connected inside the cap 3, and respectively connected with the internal connectors 32. Through such a design, the driver 4 is positioned on the lower end of the base plate 2, the inside connector 61 is connected to the lateral head 20 on one side of the base plate 2, and the outside connector 60 of the driver 4 is connected to the internal connector 32 of the cap 3. The individual independent plug pins 31 on the cap 3 are respectively connected to the internal connectors 32 via the wires 5, and the internal connectors 32 are respectively connected to the outside connectors 60 on one side of the driver 4 via the wires 5. The other side of the driver 4 is provided with the inside connector 61 connected via the wires 5. The inside connector 61 is connected to the lateral head 20 on one side of the base plate 2, which has multiple layers to produce a circuit. Or, the internal connectors 32 of the cap 3 are changed into the metal pins 51 to be inserted into the outside connectors 60 of the driver 4. With such a design, the brightness can be effectively enhanced, and the driver 4 will not block the LED chips 21, and can be detached at any time in case of failure for easy and fast repair. Therefore, the present invention has a practical inventive step to meet the need of consumers.
