[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lighting, and in particular to linear lights. [Background technology]

[0002] The structure of conventional lighting fixtures or light bulbs is uniform and cannot be changed. For example, common light bulbs are filament light bulbs and LED filament light bulbs, and the filament structure is fixed by a core column. Common lighting fixtures such as ceiling lights and pendant lighting generally use structures such as light plates and light sheets, but in pendant lighting, the light bulb is attached to a decorative member. Furthermore, there are currently no conventional lighting fixtures that are designed using a filament structure. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present invention addresses the deficiencies of the prior art by providing a novel linear light. [Means for solving the problem]

[0025] The present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with examples. The following examples are provided to illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0026] Example 1 1 and 6, the linear light includes a power connection assembly 1, a light-transmitting housing 2, and one or more wires 3, each having a fixed end and a movable end, the fixed end electrically connected to the power connection assembly, a first connection member provided at the movable end of the wire, and a second connection member provided at the light-transmitting housing to couple with the first connection member, wherein each first connection member couples with the second connection member either in contact or non-contact.

[0027] In this embodiment, a first connecting member, which is a first suction member 4, is provided at the movable end of the wire, and a second connecting member, which is a second suction member 5 that is coupled to the first connecting member, is provided at the light-transmitting housing, so that the first suction member and the second suction member are connected so as to be adsorbed.

[0028] Here, the first and second attracting members may be adhesive, suction cups, two solder bumps, or magnetic members. Hereinafter, magnetic attraction will be used as an example to explain in detail with reference to Figures 1 and 2.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first attraction member is a magnet member or a ferromagnetic attraction member, and the second attraction member material is a ferromagnetic attraction member or a magnet member corresponding to the first attraction member.

[0030] For example, there may be three wires, the fixed ends of which are electrically connected to the power connection assembly, and the movable ends of which are all fixed with magnetic members. This typically has a small volume and does not affect the overall appearance of the wires. The inner surface of the light-transmitting housing is provided with three ferromagnetic attraction members, each with a volume that matches the magnetic members. This is a preferred embodiment, and the specific structure and shape are not limited.

[0031] On the other hand, the movable ends of the wires are each fixed with a ferromagnetic attraction member, which is usually a small-volume structure that does not affect the overall appearance of the wire. The inner surface of the light-transmitting housing has three magnet members, each with a volume that matches the ferromagnetic attraction members.

[0032] Here, the ferromagnetic attracting member is generally a composite attracting member that employs a metal such as iron, cobalt, or nickel, or is doped with such a metal and can attract a magnet.

[0033] In addition, for example, if both the first and second attracting members are magnets, and in this solution, when the S and N poles of the two magnets face each other, they can be connected by magnetic attraction, and depending on the characteristics of the magnetic connection, they can be fixed by contact or non-contact. By arranging the first and second attracting members, the wire is shaped, and the wire is fixed and also shaped for appearance.

[0034] Example 2 This embodiment differs from Example 1 in the installation pattern of the second attraction members. Example 1 may be considered as a location where several fixed ferromagnetic attraction members or magnets are attached to the inner surface of the light-transmitting housing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the second attracting members are two attracting members attached to the inside and outside of the light-transmitting housing, for example, one magnetic member and one ferromagnetic attracting member, and the two attracting members are firmly attracted to each other through the light-transmitting housing. The outer attracting member can be driven to move the inner attracting member. At this time, the position of the first attracting member connected to the inner attracting member can be freely adjusted to adjust the position of the wire.

[0036] Example 3 This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 in the placement of the second attraction member. In this embodiment, the second attraction member includes a magnetic member or a ferromagnetic attraction member placed in the light-transmitting housing or molded on the light-transmitting housing.

[0037] When fabricating the light-transmitting housing, the suction members are pressure-molded into the inner layer of the light-transmitting housing, and the suction members here may be dot-shaped, elongated, or strip-shaped. For example, when dot-shaped suction members are used, each wire corresponds to one suction member. When strip-shaped suction members are used, their area is larger than that of dot-shaped ones and they can suction multiple first suction members. When elongated suction members are used, the first suction members can be displaced on the elongated suction members to adjust their position. In this way, similar structures can be inferred.

[0038] In other embodiments, the suction member may be affixed to the interior or exterior of the light-transmitting housing.

[0039] Example 4 As shown in Figure 1, the linear light includes a power connection assembly 1, a light-transmitting housing 2, and one or more wires 3, each of which has a fixed end and a movable end, the fixed end being electrically connected to the power connection assembly, a first connecting member being provided on the movable end of the wire, and a second connecting member being provided on the light-transmitting housing and coupled to the first connecting member.

[0040] In this embodiment, a first connecting member, which is a first hooking member, is provided at the movable end of the wire, and a second connecting member, which is a second hooking member that connects to the first connecting member, is provided at the light-transmitting housing, and the first hooking member and the second hooking member are hooked together.

[0041] The first latching member is a hook or ring-shaped latch fixed to the movable end of the wire, and the second latching member is a hook or ring-shaped latch fixed to the inner wall of the light-transmitting housing.

[0042] Example 5 As shown in Figure 2, the linear light includes a power connection assembly 1, a light-transmitting housing 2, and one or more wires 3, each of which has a fixed end and a movable end, the fixed end being electrically connected to the power connection assembly, a first connecting member being provided on the movable end of the wire, and a second connecting member being provided on the light-transmitting housing and coupled to the first connecting member.

[0043] One end of the power connection assembly provided in this embodiment is detachably connected to a light-transmitting housing. For example, a spiral structure 6-1 is provided at the bottom of the power connection assembly, and a corresponding spiral structure 6-2 is provided on the light-transmitting housing accordingly. The specific positions of the female and male threads are not limited.

[0044] Example 6 This embodiment can be modified based on the above embodiment, and as shown in Fig. 3, the structure further includes a light plate 7, which is attached to one end of the power connection assembly, and a plurality of LED chips or LED light beads 7-1 are attached to the light plate.

[0045] One end of the power connection assembly provided in this embodiment is detachably connected to the light-transmitting housing. For example, a spiral structure 6-1 is provided at the bottom of the power connection assembly, and the spiral structure in this embodiment is an inner spiral structure, and the spiral structure on the light-transmitting housing is an outer spiral structure.

[0046] It is contemplated that the bottom portion of the power connection assembly may be connected to the light-transmitting housing by fasteners or adhesive, and other connection structures are not limited thereto.

[0047] Example 7 This embodiment discloses a lamp having at least two wires, the movable ends of which are connected via a connecting part, and the connecting part is a magnetic member or a ferromagnetic attracting member or other non-magnetic material.

[0048] As shown in Figure 4, taking four wires as an example (two or more structures are similar), the connection part is a cross-shaped or X-shaped bracket 8, the four end points of which are connected to and fixed at the four movable ends of the four wires. The bracket is a magnetic member or a ferromagnetic attracting member, and the material of the second attracting member 5 is a ferromagnetic attracting member or a magnetic member corresponding to the bracket 8. The structure of this part may be described in the above embodiment, and a detailed description will be omitted here.

[0049] In another case, as shown in FIG. 5, the connecting part is made of other non-magnetic materials, such as plastic or hard rubber, and in this case, a magnetic member or ferromagnetic attracting member 8-1 is attached to the connecting part to achieve the design concept of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that the connector in this embodiment is connected to the second suction member in a contact or non-contact manner, and the second suction member is adjusted according to the selection of the connector in this embodiment.

[0051] In another embodiment, the connecting portion further includes a hook or a ring-shaped latch, and the second connecting member is a hook or a ring-shaped latch corresponding to the connecting portion. The specific structure will not be described again, and reference may be made to the previous embodiment.

[0052] Example 8 Although different from other embodiments, this is also applicable to other embodiments, and the second connecting member is movably attached to the light-transmitting housing as shown in Fig. 9. Specifically, it is conceivable to provide a sliding passage inside or outside the light-transmitting housing and attach the second connecting member to the sliding passage.

[0053] Alternatively, the second connecting member may include a movable member and a sliding passage provided inside the light-transmitting housing, and the movable member may be attached to the sliding passage. Here, the second connecting member may be a second engaging member (see Example 4) or a second suction member (see Example 1).

[0054] Typically, the sliding passage is a recessed groove in the inner wall of the housing, and the movable member includes a slider fitted into the recessed groove and an attraction member or an engagement member attached to the slider.

[0055] In another embodiment, one or more sliding passages are provided on the light-transmitting housing, and the second connecting member is engaged with the sliding passages, thereby realizing a sliding connection through the sliding passages. The sliding passages disclosed in this embodiment may be integrally molded or secondary assembled.

[0056] 10 and 11 are cross-sectional views showing one embodiment of the sliding passage structure. In Fig. 10, it has a light-transmitting housing 2, a sliding passage 10, and a first suction member 5-1. In Fig. 11, it has a light-transmitting housing 2, a sliding passage 10, and a second suction member 5-2. When manufacturing and molding the light-transmitting housing, a mold is used to create one or more sliding passages that protrude into the interior cavity of the light-transmitting housing, and the sliding passages include an inner recessed groove on the exterior of the light-transmitting housing and a protruding groove on the interior of the light-transmitting housing. In Fig. 10, the first suction member 5-1 is installed inside the light-transmitting housing and engages with the surface of the protruding groove. In Fig. 11, the second suction member 5-2 is installed outside the light-transmitting housing and engages in the recessed groove.

[0057] 10 and 11, another embodiment can be conceived, namely, having one or more sliding passages protruding to the outside of the light-transmitting housing, the sliding passages including a protruding groove on the outside of the light-transmitting housing and a recessed groove on the inside of the light-transmitting housing. A second suction member can be installed inside the light-transmitting housing and engaged in the recessed groove, or a second suction member can be installed outside the light-transmitting housing and engaged in the protruding groove.

[0058] Example 9 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, a long-tube linear light is disclosed, whose light-transmitting housing is a long tube, and one or more wires are installed inside the tube. Although one wire is used as an example, the structure of multiple wires can be derived based on the structure of one wire.

[0059] In this embodiment, both the fixed end and the movable end of the wire can be movably connected. As shown in FIG. 7, a first connecting member is installed on both the movable end and the fixed end of the wire, the first connecting member being a hook 9-1, and the second connecting member being a spring member 9-2, and the hook is connected to the spring member.

[0060] As shown in Figure 7, only the movable end of the wire is hooked onto one end of the long tube by the hook of the first connecting member and the second connecting member, where the second connecting member is a spring member, a hook, or a ring-shaped latch. The first connecting member may be a spring member. The spring member may or may not have a hook for engaging with the hook or ring-shaped latch.

[0061] Based on the above, and based on the overall concept of the present invention, both ends of the wire can be considered to be a fixed end and a movable end, respectively, with one end connected to a power connection assembly by a first connecting member and the other end also connected to another power connection assembly by a first connecting member, as shown in Figure 7.

[0062] Similarly, based on the overall concept of the present invention, taking the long-tube light-transmitting housing shown in Figure 8 as an example, when only one end of the long tube is a power connection assembly, the movable end is connected to one end of the long tube by the first connecting member and the second connecting member, and the fixed end is directly and fixedly connected to the power connection assembly; and the movable end is connected to one end of the long tube by the first connecting member and the second connecting member, and the fixed end is connected to the power connection assembly by the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

[0063] Example 10 This example provides a cuttable LED wire based on any of Examples 1 to 9. The LED wire has a single LED chip or LED light bead, or multiple wires connected in series and connected in parallel, and its substrate is a flexible substrate that can be cut. Specifically, the cutting position can be marked for easy use.

[0064] Example 11 This embodiment discloses a unique solution, in which the second connecting member is the light-transmitting housing, and the first connecting member is a counterweight. After the lighting fixture is installed, the wire is fixed by the counterweight under the force of gravity. Because the wire is lightweight, in order to achieve a natural hanging, some heavy material is usually made on the surface of the wire. However, this solution increases production costs and reduces the appearance of the wire, while using a counterweight improves the effect.

[0065] Example 12 A magnetic attraction light, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 16, includes a housing 2', one or more filaments 3', a light cover structure fixed to one end of the filament, and a light base connected to the other end of the filament, the light cover structure including a first cover 13 connected to the housing, the light base including a base cover 14 connected to the housing, and the housing being transparent or translucent; The light base further includes a second magnetically attractive member 5'; A first magnetic attraction member 4' is attached to one end of the filament adjacent to the light base, The second magnetically attractive member is connected to the first magnetically attractive member in a contact or non-contact manner.

[0066] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the housing is an arcuate surface, and the outer surfaces of the first cover and the base cover are also arcuate surfaces that match the outer surface of the housing. This ensures a natural transition between the arcuate surfaces of the first cover and the base cover and the arcuate surface of the housing after assembly is complete, and ensures a smooth connection between several surfaces of the housing structure of the entire light. Depending on the structure, the housing may have other geometric or design shapes.

[0067] As shown in the three structural diagrams of Figures 12, 13, and 14, the housing structure can be adjusted to include a low circular or elongated shape, i.e., to meet the circular arc surface structure, and the aspect ratio of the housing can be adjusted accordingly. The length of the filament and the structures of the first cover and base cover can also be adjusted accordingly.

[0068] Here, the light cover structure further includes an electrical connection member 1' and a second cover 15. The electrical connection member is a member for connecting a power source and is connected to the first cover, which is connected to the second cover. A control circuit board is attached between the first cover 13 and the second cover 15, and the filament passes through the second cover and is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0069] Here, the housing is formed as a structure with openwork upper and lower end surfaces by injection molding, and then the light cover structure and the light base are attached thereto.

[0070] As shown in Figure 20, the structure and manufacturing method of a first magnetically attractive member 4' are provided. The first magnetically attractive member 4' includes an internal insulating member, the exterior of which is coated with a magnetic or magnetizable material layer. The internal insulating member, for example, a 4mm PP plastic ball shown in the figure, is coated with a 0.5mm thick iron powder layer or iron shell. A hole is drilled in the middle of the ball, which is then electroplated after molding. The hole is for connecting one end of a filament. Note that the dimensions and materials disclosed in this embodiment and Figure 20 are merely examples, and those skilled in the art can adjust the structure and manufacturing process by referring to this concept.

[0071] As shown in Figure 21, another structure and manufacturing method is provided, in which the first magnetically attractive member 4' includes an internal magnetic or magnetizable material member, and an insulating material layer is provided on the outside of the magnetic or magnetizable material member. As shown in Figure 21, an insulating material member such as an ABS or silica gel ball is taken, a hole is drilled inside the ball, a magnet is inserted, and the magnet is fixed inside the insulating material member with adhesive, and finally the outside is plated, for example, with chrome. After the magnet is inserted, the top of the middle hole is used to connect one end of the filament.

[0072] Here, the dimensions and materials disclosed in this embodiment and in FIG. 21 are merely examples, and those skilled in the art can adjust the structure and process by referring to this concept.

[0073] This embodiment further provides another possible first magnetically attractive member, namely a mixed fixing member formed by mixing magnetic materials or magnetizable materials.

[0074] Here, the magnetic material and magnetizable material are selected appropriately depending on the material of the second magnetic attraction member, and the first magnetic attraction member disclosed in this embodiment uses a magnet (magnetizable material), iron powder, and iron shell (magnetic material), which is merely an example, and can be changed with reference to the material selection of the second magnetic attraction member based on the core concept of this solution.

[0075] Here, the filament is an unstructured filament made of a flexible substrate, which hangs down naturally under the action of gravity and is attracted and fixed to the first magnetic attraction member by the second magnetic attraction member, or in a non-contact manner. The figure shows the non-contact case, where the connection is made by magnetism (attraction force).

[0076] In another solution, the filament is a shaped bent, folded or spiral filament, and the substrate in the filament of this solution is a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate, for example, a PCB board or an aluminum substrate, and the flexible substrate is an FPC board.

[0077] Specifically, the filament in this embodiment includes one or more luminescent particles and at least two layers of conductive members. The luminescent particles include LED chips. That is, the luminescent particles may be LED bare chips directly fixed to the stripe-shaped substrate.

[0078] Furthermore, the filament further includes a protective layer, in which the luminescent particles are located within the light-transmitting protective layer, and the conductive member is partially or entirely located within the light-transmitting protective layer. In this embodiment, the luminescent particles and the conductive member are both located within the light-transmitting protective layer to form a filament shape.

[0079] Unlike conventional LED light beads, the LED chips used in this solution have significant variations in the finished filament. Light beads are pre-packaged LED chips with a thick external packaging layer. Therefore, when fabricated as a filament or wire, they suffer from two drawbacks: 1) When the spacing between two light-emitting particles is large and they are connected in series or parallel in a straight line, the light intensity from the gaps is visually weak. The overall lighting effect of the wire is not that of a complete filament with indistinguishable variations in light intensity, but rather a connected point light source. 2) Because the volume of LED light beads is significantly larger than that of LED chips, when connected together, their cross section is wide, making it impossible to achieve the "filament" effect. This technology is inferior, and even when fabricated as a wire, the filament lighting effect cannot be achieved. However, using LED chips can better solve these problems.

[0080] The substrate employs a striped substrate or a spiral substrate, and the LED chip and conductive member are attached to the striped substrate or the spiral substrate.

[0081] It is conceivable that the filament may not adopt a substrate structure, but may use direct electrical connection wires instead of a substrate, followed by providing a protective layer on the exterior of the LED chip and electrical connection wires.

[0082] To increase the strength of the linear light, the substrate is provided with a reinforcing member, for example, a reinforcing rib 16 that matches the length of the filament, and as shown in Figure 22(a), the back side of the filament has the reinforcing rib structure, and as shown in Figure 22(b), the front side of the filament has the LED chip structure.

[0083] In the protective layer, a reinforcing structure, such as a metallic or non-metallic reinforcing rib, for example, a nylon reinforcing rib, may be attached along the length of the filament. To achieve a higher reinforcing effect, reinforcing ribs may be arranged on both sides of the filament or at corresponding positions within the internal structure of the filament. This applies to improving the reinforcing rib, regardless of whether the structure has a substrate or not.

[0084] Other reinforcing structures include shaped pieces 17 attached to both ends of the filament.

[0085] Here, the light-transmitting housing in this embodiment is a transparent or translucent housing. For example, a transparent housing may be made of glass, plastic, or other materials to create a housing with a transparent crystal cross-section effect. Such a housing can transmit the light source effect of the internal wire, and can also refract other light through the housing.

[0086] For example, ordinary smooth glass can be fired into a glass housing with a gray gradient, with a small upper part and a large lower part, to create an arc-shaped surface. Furthermore, the outer surface of the light cover structure and the light base can be made a similar color to the glass housing, resulting in a natural and beautiful overall color.

[0087] Based on the premise of cost saving and high-speed processing, a resin molding process is adopted to make a completely transparent or colored translucent housing.

[0088] Example 13 A lighting fixture, referring to the structure disclosed in Example 12 and referring to FIG. 15, wherein the light base further includes an outer structure 18 which is a protrusion structure attached to the inside of the base cover, and a second magnetic attraction member is installed on the outer structure.

[0089] The protruding structure of the outer structure is a cone, and a second magnetically attractive member is installed inside the cone, and a placement cavity 19 is provided, and the second magnetically attractive member is placed in the placement cavity, and the second magnetically attractive member 5' is attached close to the apex of the cone.
