Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the installation of lamp strings, and particularly relates to a lamp body, a lamp string, and an installation method.
Background Art
[0002] A lamp string is a kind of decorative lighting fixture formed by a plurality of small light bulb strings together. This is usually used on holidays, for indoor and outdoor decoration, parties, etc. The lamp string may have different colors, shapes, and bulb types, such as color ball lamps, flower-shaped lamps, star lamps, etc. People often hang the lamp string on trees or walls, or suspend it in indoor and outdoor spaces to create a warm, romantic, or holiday atmosphere. Some lamp strings further have different flashing patterns and the function of adjusting brightness, and are more diversified and popular.
[0003] In the prior art, the patent application number CN202221840737.0 relates to a female screw lamp cover connection structure, a lamp body, and a lamp string, including a lamp cover opening and a terminal. The lamp cover opening is formed by penetrating from the outer surface of the lamp cover inward in a first direction. On the inner wall of the lamp cover opening, a female screw arranged along the first direction is formed. At least a part of the terminal enters the lamp cover opening along the first direction. On the outer wall of the terminal, a male screw engaging with the female screw is formed. The terminal is inserted into the lamp cover opening and engaged and locked with the lamp cover by the male screw and the female screw, facilitating the assembly, maintenance, and component replacement of the lamp string.
[0004] The light emitter of the above product is located inside the lamp cover and can be movably inserted between any two of the terminals. The connection between the lamp cover and the terminal is a screw connection. The two ends of the light emitter are electrically connected to an A terminal and a B terminal respectively.
[0005] When installing the product, first fasten the A terminal to one opening of the lamp cover, then insert one end of the light emitter into the B terminal. After that, insert the light emitter through the other opening of the lamp cover. The B terminal abuts against the other opening of the lamp cover. Align the other end of the light emitter with the plug female socket of the A terminal inside the lamp cover, and then tighten the B terminal further. In the installation process, since the port of the B terminal is flat and abuts against the other opening of the lamp cover, it is difficult to adjust the direction of the other end of the light emitter when holding the B terminal by hand. It is difficult to align it with the plug female socket of the A terminal. Also, if the light emitter is long, the amplitude is adjusted more greatly during alignment, the assembly difficulty is higher, and the working efficiency is low.

Advantages of the Invention
[0018] The present invention has the following advantageous effects compared with the prior art.
[0019] 1. In the light-emitting body connection structure of the present invention, by protruding the electrical connection port on one end face of the terminal body, when installing, the light-emitting body connection structure is first inserted into one end of the light-emitting body, then the light-emitting body is inserted into the lamp cover from one opening of the lamp cover, and then the light-emitting body connection structure is connected to the opening of the lamp cover. The electrical connection port of the other light-emitting body connection structure may be deeply inserted into the other opening of the lamp cover. The light-emitting body has already been installed in the lamp cover. In the aligned installation state, since the lengths of the two light-emitting body connection structures for inserting the light-emitting body are compatible with the installation length of the lamp cover, the other end of the light-emitting body is close to the other opening of the lamp cover and can be inserted into the other opening of the lamp cover through the electrical connection port. Since the electrical connection port is smaller than the opening of the lamp cover, the electrical connection port can be adjusted movably in orientation within the opening, facilitating the alignment with the electrical connection plug of the lamp body, completing the installation of the other light-emitting body connection structure and the other opening of the lamp cover, and at the same time realizing the complete insertion of the electrical connection port and the other end of the light-emitting body, effectively realizing the rapid alignment and installation of the light-emitting body by the light-emitting body connection structure in the lamp cover and improving the working efficiency of assembly.

When the electrical connection port aligns with the electrical connection plug of the light-emitting element, it can be screwed into the terminal body along the thread of the opening, and at the same time, the light-emitting element connection structure and the light-emitting element can be inserted and attached. In particular, the manual opening tool can also be a reinforcing member at the connection portion between the wire and the terminal body to prevent the occurrence of a cross-section at the connection portion and improve the service life of the connection portion between the wire and the terminal body.
[0021] 3. The light-emitting element of the present invention includes a light-emitting element having a connection input end plug and a connection output end plug connected to both ends respectively.

The electrical connection ports of the two light-emitting element connection structures can respectively fix the plugs at both ends of the light-emitting element and also realize electrical connection, and the attachment and detachment are convenient.
[0022] 4. In order to make the light emission of the light emitter uniform, a tape light is wrapped around the outside of the bracket. The inside of the bracket may be used to fixedly arrange a circuit board.

Electrical connection plugs 32 that fit the electrical connection port 12 are respectively provided at both ends of the light emitter 31. The light emitter 31 is arranged in the accommodation chamber. When connecting to the lamp cover 2 through two light emitter connection structures, the electrical connection plugs 32 at both ends of the light emitter 31 are respectively inserted into the electrical connection ports 12 of the two light emitter connection structures.

[0034] It should be noted that the plug that can be rotationally inserted may adopt a method in which a male plug socket and a female plug socket are fitted. The plug may also be a plug that adopts a cylindrical joint such as a headphone plug, a DC plug, or an audio plug, which realizes the support and fixation of and electrical connection to the light emitter 31. During the insertion process, the male plug socket or the female plug socket can be arbitrarily rotated, and the male plug socket or the female plug socket can still maintain the electrical connection.
[0035] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, it further includes a wire 13, and the wire 13 passes through the other end of the terminal body 11 and is electrically connected to the electrical connection port 12. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a ring-shaped locking edge 112 is provided outside the other end face of the terminal body 11. It should be noted that the ring-shaped locking edge 112 is for locking the outside of the opening 22 so that the terminal body 11 is not screwed into the opening 22 of the lamp cover 2 excessively.
[0036] In addition, the fitting lamp cover 2 may be provided with a countersink groove that fits the ring-shaped locking edge 112, so that the ring-shaped locking edge 112 can be engaged in the countersink groove, and the surface of the ring-shaped locking edge 112 and the surface of the lamp cover 2 are flush, maintaining the beauty of the appearance.
[0037] It should be noted that the wire 13 passes through the other end of the terminal body 11 and is electrically connected to the electrical connection port 12.

[0048] It should be noted that the wire 13 of the light emitter connection structure extends and is connected to another light emitter connection structure, and the wire 13 may also be the above conducting wire 4.
[0049] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, a hanging tool 41 is provided on the conducting wire 4. The hanging tool 41 may be a single ring and may be hung on a matching hook for better decoration.
[0050] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for installing the above lamp string. As shown in FIG. 7, it includes the following steps S1 to S4.

[0051] It should be noted that in the lamp string installation method of this embodiment, the connection method between the light emitter connection structure and the opening 22 of the lamp cover 2 is screw connection. In some embodiments, the connection method between the light emitter connection structure and the opening 22 of the lamp cover 2 may be an insertion - type snap - fit connection. However, by the screw connection method, the connection location is fixed and firm, not easily detached. Even when placed outdoors, the screw connection method has excellent sealing performance, good waterproof effect, and better protection effect on the lamp body.
[0052] In step S3, the light emitter connection structure is connected to the opening 22 of the lamp cover 2 and the electrical connection port 12 is fully inserted into the other end of the light emitter 31. It should be noted that the electrical connection port 12 is first aligned and abutted with the other end of the light emitter 31, and then the light emitter connection structure is screwed into the opening 22 of the lamp cover 2. The screwing process is the process in which the electrical connection port 12 is inserted into the other end of the light emitter 31. When reaching the end point, at the same time, the electrical connection port 12 is fully inserted into the other end of the light emitter 31.
[0053] The method for attaching the lamp string in this embodiment is as follows: First, insert the light emitter 31 into the light emitter connection structure, insert it corresponding to one opening 22 of the lamp cover 2, and fix the light emitter connection structure to the opening 22.
