[0015] Based on a similar inventive concept, the present invention further provides a lamp curtain comprising a plurality of the above-mentioned lamp strings, wherein each lampshade on one lamp string is connected to another lamp string via a wire or support rod. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] Compared to prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects. 1. The lamp body connection structure of the present invention can be applied to a lamp body connection structure in which the length of the light-emitting element is greater than the length of the lampshade. When the lamp body connection structure is connected to the lampshade, the position of the wiring plug is provided on the outside of the lampshade opening and aligned with the opening of the lampshade. A portion of the plug that is exposed at the lampshade opening of the light-emitting element, which is longer than the length of the lampshade, can be inserted into the wiring plug positioned on the outside of the opening. This allows the light-emitting length of the light-emitting element to be increased, resulting in brighter light and more uniform illumination of the lampshade.

[0017] In particular, when installing a light-emitting element inside a lampshade, the plugs exposed at the lampshade openings on both ends of the light-emitting element are inserted into the lamp body connection structure, and the two lamp body connection structures are connected to the lampshade. This avoids the conventional method of first inserting the light-emitting element into one lamp body connection structure, inserting it along one opening in the lampshade and fixing it to the opening, then aligning and inserting the wiring plug of the other lamp body connection structure inside the lampshade, and finally fixing the lamp body connection structure to the opening in the lampshade. This eliminates the complex operation of aligning and inserting inside the lampshade, allowing the user to butt the lamp body connection structures at both ends of the light-emitting element outside the lampshade and then fix the lamp body connection structure to the lampshade, making installation more convenient. Furthermore, it avoids the conventional method of removing the lamp body connection structure and light-emitting element inside the lampshade, where the light-emitting element can get caught inside the lampshade, making removal difficult.

[0018] In particular, the externally positioned wiring plug of the lamp body connection structure of the present invention allows for saving the length of insertion into the lampshade opening, making the lampshade smaller, reducing the size of the lampshade opening, and maintaining the integrity of the lampshade.

[0019] 2. The lamp body connection structure of the present invention can also employ a method of screwing in a rotatably inserted wiring plug to align with the lampshade opening. The wiring plug can be fully inserted into the electrical connection plug of the light-emitting body at the same time as the connecting member, which is integrally molded with the terminal body, is screwed into the lampshade opening through the mounting groove of the terminal body.

[0020] In particular, because the terminal body size is larger than the lampshade opening, when the connecting member is fully screwed into the lampshade opening, the terminal body catches on the outer end face of the lampshade opening, forming a limit and preventing excessive screwing of the connecting member. Furthermore, the terminal body can act as a sealing member to seal the outer end face of the lampshade opening, thus extending the outdoor lifespan of the lamp body.

[0021] In particular, the length of the female thread of the lampshade opening, which is butted against the lamp body connection structure, can be shortened, reducing the obstruction of light in the area close to the lampshade opening and resulting in more uniform illumination of the lampshade.

[0022] 3. In the lamp body of the present invention, when the wiring plug is positioned in the opening of the lampshade, the size of the terminal body is larger than the opening of the lampshade, so both sides of the terminal body can be fixed to the lampshade with detachable connecting means such as bolts. Although such a terminal body connection is more complex than a screw connection, the manufacturing cost of such a terminal body is lower, and it can be used as a lamp string for high-voltage electrical connections. The positive and negative plugs are provided via separate mounting grooves, effectively isolating the positive and negative plugs and preventing dielectric breakdown between the positive and negative plugs under high-voltage conditions. For example, a rotatably inserted wiring plug cannot be used in high-voltage electrical connection situations.

[0023] 4. The terminal body, wiring plug, and connection member of the present invention can be directly integrally injection-molded, making manufacturing more convenient. Here, the terminal body may be conical, with the large end face of the cone connected to the lamp shade and the small end face connected to the lead wire. An overall transition from large to small is formed from the lamp shade to the lead wire in terms of appearance, making the connection more aesthetic. A wiring plug can be accommodated inside, and dish holes for bolt connection can also be formed on both sides.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described clearly and completely below, together with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments; however, obviously, the embodiments described are only a selection of embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Any other embodiments that can be obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative work based on the embodiments of this application are all included within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] <Examples> This embodiment is intended to represent the female threaded lampshade connection structure, lamp body, and lamp string of the prior art patent application no. CN202221840737.0. In the above art, an integrally molded lampshade is proposed, with female threads provided in the opening of the lampshade. By screwing the wire input end and wire output end into the opening of the lampshade, an electrical connection of the light-emitting element within the lampshade is formed. However, these terminals cannot be applied to light-emitting elements whose length is greater than the lampshade length, resulting in uneven light emission.

[0027] In this regard, this embodiment provides a lamp body connection structure applicable to light emitters with a length greater than the lampshade length. When the lamp body connection structure is connected to the lampshade, the wiring plug is positioned outside the opening of the lampshade and aligned with the opening. This allows a portion of the plug of a light emitter with a length greater than the lampshade length that is exposed at the opening of the lampshade to be inserted into the wiring plug positioned outside the opening. As a result, the light emission length of the light emitter can be increased, resulting in brighter light and more uniform illumination of the lampshade.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1, the lamp body connection structure is applicable to the lampshade 4 and includes a wiring terminal 1 and a lead wire 2. The wiring terminal 1 is a terminal body 11 whose size is larger than the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, and includes a terminal body 11 with a mounting groove 111 at one end, and a wiring plug 12 fixedly positioned within the mounting groove 111. The lead wire 2 passes through the other end of the terminal body 11 and is electrically connected to the wiring plug 12. When the terminal body 11 is detachably connected to the lampshade 4, the wiring plug 12 is aligned with the opening 412 of the lampshade 4.

[0029] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, the wiring terminal 1 further includes a connecting member 13 fitted to an opening 412 of the lampshade 4, one end of the connecting member 13 being connected to one end of the terminal body 11, a mounting groove 111 of the terminal body 11 passing through the connecting member 13, a male screw fitted to the opening 412 of the lampshade 4 being provided on the outside of the connecting member 13, and the wiring plug 12 including a rotatably inserted plug. The fact that the mounting groove 111 of the terminal body 11 passes through the connecting member 13 may be understood as the terminal body 11 and the connecting member 13 being integrally molded, with the mounting groove 111 passing through the connecting member 13 and forming a passage into which the light-emitting element 3 can be inserted into the wiring plug 12, or as two parts in which the connecting member 13 and the terminal body 11 are detachably connected, with a notch being opened in the middle of the connecting member 13 having the same or larger size as the mounting groove 111 of the terminal body 11. Note that the wiring terminal 1 is a screw connection type, and the compatible wiring plug 12 is a rotatably inserted plug, in which a male plug socket and a female plug socket are mated and inserted to support and fix it to the lamp body 3 and to achieve electrical connection. The plug may be a cylindrical connector plug such as a headphone plug, DC plug, or audio plug, and it should be noted that during the insertion process, either the male plug socket or the female plug socket can be rotated arbitrarily, while still maintaining the electrical connection between the male plug socket or the female plug socket.

[0030] Since rotatably inserted plugs are not suitable for high-voltage electrical connections, plug dielectric breakdown is likely to occur. For this reason, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3, the wiring plug 12 further includes a positive plug 12a and a negative plug 12b, and the positive and negative terminals of the lead wire 2 are electrically connected to the positive plug 12a and the negative plug 12b, respectively. There are multiple mounting grooves 111, with the positive plug 12a mounted in one mounting groove 111 and the negative plug 12b mounted in another mounting groove 111. The positive plug 12a and the negative plug 12b are provided via independent mounting grooves 111, effectively isolating the positive plug 12a and the negative plug 12b. When a high-voltage current is applied, the insulation effect between the positive plug 12a and the negative plug 12b is better, resulting in greater safety. Furthermore, since such a wiring terminal 1 is connected to the lampshade 4 at the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, if the light-emitting body 3 passes through the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, the opening 412 of the lampshade 4 can be made smaller. When the wiring terminal 1 is connected to the lampshade 4, the wiring plug 12 is aligned with the opening 412, and the light-emitting body 3 and the wiring plug 12 are aligned and inserted. The wiring plug 12 may be a cylindrical wiring socket or a metal electrical connection bump provided in the mounting groove 111. When the electrical connection plug 32 is inserted into the mounting groove 111, the electrical connection bump is attached to the outside of the electrical connection plug 32, forming an electrical connection.

[0031] For manufacturing convenience, as shown in Figure 4, in some embodiments, the terminal body 11, the wiring plug 12, and the connecting member 13 may be directly injection molded as a single unit.

[0032] When the wiring terminal 1 is connected to the lampshade 4 using a screw connection method, the connection between the wiring terminal 1 and the lampshade 4 tends to loosen when the formed lamp string is suspended outdoors, affecting the normal use of the lamp string. For this reason, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, a snap member 131 is provided at the outer end of the connecting member 13, with the snap end of the snap member 131 protruding from the male thread of the connecting member 13. This ensures that when the connecting member 13 is fully screwed into the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, the snap end of the snap member 131 snaps to the outside of the inner end opening of the opening 412. The snap end of the snap member 131 is provided to protrude from the male thread of the connecting member 13, and the snap end may be a V-shaped protrusion 131a, which is connected to the end face of the connecting member 13 via an elastic member 131b. When installing, the user first presses the V-shaped protrusion 131a along the inclined side of the V against the female thread of the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, and at this time the pressed V-shaped protrusion 131a is pressed against the elastic member 131 As b elastically deforms and contracts, and the V-shaped protrusion 131a is screwed into the inner end of the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, the elastic member 131b elastically deforms and resets, and the V-shaped protrusion 131a snaps to the outside of the inner end of the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, forming a snapped state, which makes the connection between the wiring terminal 1 and the lampshade 4 less likely to loosen, and similarly, even if a greater force is used along the other inclined side of the V-shape, the connecting member 13 can be easily pushed back and pulled out.

[0033] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3, the terminal body 11 may be conical in shape, with countersunk holes 112 on both sides of the terminal body 11, and the terminal body 11 is screw-connected to the lampshade 4 via bolts passing through the countersunk holes 112. The cone is connected to the lampshade 4 via a large end face, and the smaller end face is connected to the lead wire 2, creating an overall transition from large to small in appearance from the lampshade 4 to the lead wire 2, making the connection more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the outside of the cone can also have a concave curve transition, making the streamline of the lamp body more aesthetically pleasing. A wiring plug 12 is housed inside the cone, and as shown in Figure 3, in the case of integral molding, a certain space is left to block the position where the wiring plug 12 is white exposed welded to the end of the lead wire 2. The cone may also have countersunk holes 112 for bolt connection on both sides of the large end face, making the structure more rational.

[0034] As shown in Figures 6 to 11, this embodiment further provides a lamp body including a light-emitting element 3, a lampshade 4, and the lamp body connection structure described above. The light-emitting element 3 includes a light-emitting member 31, and is provided with an electrical connection plug 32 fixedly connected to the light-emitting member 31. The electrical connection plug 32 is fitted to a wiring plug 12 of the lamp body connection structure. The lampshade 4 includes a lampshade body 41, and is provided with a housing cavity 411 inside the lampshade body 41. The lampshade body 41 is provided with an opening 412 into which the light-emitting element 3 can be inserted. The opening 412 communicates with the housing cavity 411. The number of electrical connection plugs 32 on the light-emitting member 31 corresponds to the number of openings 412 in the lampshade 4. The lamp body connection structure is connected to the opening 412 of the lampshade body 41. The light-emitting element 3 is placed inside the lampshade 4, and the electrical connection plug 32 of the light-emitting element 3 is inserted corresponding to the lamp body connection structure. The light-emitting element 3 is fixedly placed inside the lampshade 4 and forms an electrical connection with the lamp body connection structure. The lampshade 4 includes a integrally molded lampshade body 41, and the opening 412 includes a wiring input end opening 412a and a wiring output end opening 412b, the wiring input end opening 412a and the wiring output end opening 412b each communicate with a housing cavity 411.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, electrical connection plugs 32 are provided at both ends of the light-emitting member 31, and the total length of both ends of the light-emitting member 31 connected to each electrical connection plug 32 is greater than the length of the lampshade 4, the lamp body connection structure is abutted against the light-emitting member 31 on the outside of the lampshade 4, and the exposed portion of the electrical connection plug 32 can be inserted into the wiring plug 12 of the lamp body connection structure.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9, the lampshade body 41 includes a stepped groove 413, an opening 412 is provided in the middle of the stepped groove 413, the size of the stepped groove 413 is adapted to the terminal body 11 of the lamp body connection structure, a chamfered corner 4121 is provided at the outer end of the opening 412, the chamfered portion 4121 may be an arc-shaped chamfered portion, and a female screw adapted to the connecting member 13 of the lamp body connection structure is provided in the opening 412. Note that the stepped groove 413 is provided so that when the surface of one end of the terminal body 11 is connected to the lampshade 4, the connection portion becomes flush with the surface of the lampshade 4, maintaining the overall aesthetic appearance.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10, the light-emitting member 31 includes a circuit board 311 and lamp beads 312 uniformly arranged on the circuit board 311, the lamp beads 312 being electrically connected to the circuit board 311, and the electrical connection plug 32 includes an input terminal plug and an output terminal plug, the input terminal plug and the output terminal plug being electrically connected to the current input terminal and current output terminal of the circuit board 311, respectively, and being welded and fixed on the circuit board 311, and when the light-emitting member 3 is placed inside the lampshade 4, the input terminal plug and the output terminal plug can correspond to the wiring input terminal opening 412a and the wiring output terminal opening 412b of the lampshade 4, respectively.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11, the light-emitting member 31 further includes a lamp band 313 and a bracket 314, with the lamp band 313 covering the outside of the bracket 314. The lamp band 313 contains uniformly arranged small bulbs or LEDs and is made of a soft, flexible outer material, such as an adhesive sleeve or plastic. The lamp band 313 is fitted with a self-adhesive backing that can be easily attached onto the bracket 314.

[0039] Specifically, the inside of the bracket 314 is hollow, the circuit board 311 is installed inside the bracket 314, the circuit board 311 is electrically connected to the lamp band 313, electrical connection plugs 32 are fixedly connected to both ends of the circuit board 311, and the input terminal and output terminal of the circuit board 311 are electrically connected to the electrical connection plugs 32, respectively. The bracket 314 may also be cylindrical, and the lamp band 313 is bonded to the cylindrical outer ring, and the circuit board 311 is installed inside the cylinder.

[0040] As shown in Figure 12, a lamp body mounting method fixed in a spiral manner may include the steps of: S1, first inserting the lamp body connection structure into one end of the light-emitting body 3; S2, inserting the light-emitting body 3 into the lampshade 4 through the opening 412 of the lampshade, and then screwing the lamp body connection structure into the opening 412 of the lampshade 4; and S3, at this time, with the other end of the light-emitting body 3 already protruding from another opening 412 of the lampshade, and after the wiring plug 12 of the other lamp body connection structure has been inserted into the other end of the light-emitting body 3, screwing the lamp body connection structure into the other opening 412 of the lampshade to fully insert the wiring plug 12 into the other end of the light-emitting body 3.

[0041] As shown in Figure 13, the bolt-type lamp body mounting method may include the steps of: S1, first inserting the lamp body connection structure into one end of one light-emitting element 3; S2, inserting the light-emitting element 3 into the lampshade 4 through the opening 412 of the lampshade 4; S3, aligning and attaching the lamp body connection structure from step S2 to the mounting position of the lampshade 4; S4, at this time, with the other end of the light-emitting element 3 already protruding from another opening 412 of the lampshade 4, inserting the wiring plug 12 of the other lamp body connection structure into the other end of the light-emitting element 3; and S5, fixing the two lamp body connection structures to the lampshade 4 via bolts and fully inserting the wiring plug 12 into the other end of the light-emitting element 3.

[0042] As shown in Figure 14, this embodiment is also applicable to light-emitting elements 3 whose length is less than or equal to the distance between the two openings of the lampshade 4, however, the wiring plug 12 needs to be extended into the connecting member 13. For example, when using a light-emitting element 3 whose length is equal to the distance between the two openings of the lampshade 4, one mounting method is as follows: S1, a step of ensuring a certain insertion stroke by not fully inserting one end of the light-emitting element 3 into the lamp body connection structure; S2, a step of inserting the light-emitting element 3 into the lampshade 4 through the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, and then screwing the lamp body connection structure into the opening 412 of the lampshade 4; and S3, at this time, the other end of the light-emitting element 3 protrudes into another opening 412 of the lampshade 4, and the wiring plug 12 of the other lamp body connection structure is inserted into the other end of the light-emitting element 3, and the lamp body connection structure is screwed into the other opening 412 of the lampshade 4, fully inserting the wiring plug 12 into the other end of the light-emitting element 3.

[0043] As shown in Figure 15, this embodiment is also applicable to light-emitting elements 3 whose length is less than or equal to the distance between the two openings of the lampshade 4, however, the wiring plug 12 needs to be extended into the connecting member 13. For example, when using a light-emitting element 3 whose length is equal to the distance between the two openings of the lampshade 4, another mounting method is as follows: S1, fully insert one end of the light-emitting element 3 into the lamp body connection structure; S2, insert the light-emitting element 3 into the lampshade 4 through the opening 412 of the lampshade 4, and then insert the lamp body connection structure into the opening of the lampshade 4.
