[Effects of the Invention]

[0025] Compared to prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects. 1. The present invention is telescopically connected to a terminal body via a plug assembly, and the plug assembly can be telescopically extended and retracted to accommodate lamp shades of different sizes, satisfying the proper mounting with the lamp body inside the lamp shade, being versatile, reducing production costs, and when mounting the lamp body inside the lamp shade, first insert one end of the lamp body into the lamp body connection structure, extend the lamp body into the lamp shade to connect the lamp body connection structure with the opening of the lamp shade, adjust the plug assembly to an appropriate length to extend another lamp body connection structure to another opening of the lamp shade. Since the plug assembly is smaller than the opening of the lamp shade, the plug assembly can adjust its orientation movably within the opening, facilitating the electrical connection and alignment between the lamp body and the plug. Simultaneously with the completion of the mounting of another lamp body connection structure and another opening of the lamp shade, the insertion of the plug assembly and the other end of the lamp body can be achieved, realizing the rapid alignment and mounting of the lamp body via the lamp body connection structure within the lamp shade, and improving the working efficiency of assembly. In particular, when there is only one opening in the lamp shade at the end of the lamp group, the center position of the corresponding lamp shade of the lamp body can be adjusted by the telescopically connected plug assembly, improving the light emission uniformity of the lamp body on the lamp shade.

[0026] 2. In the present invention, by providing a snap member on the lead wire, the lead wire between the snap member and the wiring plug penetrates the wire groove of the telescopic member and is engaged with the inner ring of the telescopic member. The wiring plug and the snap member are respectively engaged with the top and bottom of the telescopic member. When the telescopic member expands and contracts on the mounting groove, the wiring plug does not move relative to the telescopic member, ensuring the reliability of the expansion and contraction of the wiring plug and the butting stability of the lamp body, making the assembly easier.

[0027] 3. In the lamp body connection structure of the present invention, a male screw is provided on the outside of the terminal body, and an annular engagement edge is provided on the outside of the other end surface of the terminal body. When screwed into the opening of the lamp shade, excessive screwing of the terminal body can be prevented. Furthermore, the lamp body connection structure cooperates with a rotatable plug-in type plug adapted to the lamp body. When the wiring plug is aligned with the electrical connection plug of the light-emitting member, it is screwed into the terminal body along the thread of the opening, and at the same time, the connection between the light-emitting member connection structure and the light-emitting member is realized.

[0028] 4. In the present invention, the wiring plugs and snap members at both ends of the lead wire are integrally formed and produced, and the wiring plugs at both ends of the lead wire are assembled to the terminal body via telescopic members. By adding a support member to the terminal body, it can be used as a rigid support between the lamp shades. Different lamp groups can be assembled according to the application scenario. The inside of the support member can also be applied to the hidden wiring of the lead wire. A certain length of lead wire can be stored inside the support member, prepared as a stroke for the telescoping of the wiring plug. After the terminal body is connected to the support member, without affecting the attachment of the telescopic members at both ends and the simultaneous extension or contraction of the wiring plug by the telescopic members at both ends, the support member can screw the terminal body into the opening of the lamp shade. Thereby, the hand brake component on the terminal body is omitted, reducing the production cost while having a good appearance of the terminal body. In particular, the support member can also seal the attachment interface of the terminal body as a sealing member of the terminal body, enhancing the waterproof and dustproof capabilities inside the lamp shade.

[0029] 5. In the present invention, due to the mutual connection of the mounting grooves and mounting interfaces at both ends of the terminal body, when the support member is connected to the mounting interface, the wiring port of the support member is aligned with the mounting interface. The size of the wiring port is larger than that of the mounting groove. The telescopic member extends from the wiring port of the support member into the support member, increasing the telescopic stroke of the wiring plug and being hidden inside the support member, thus ensuring the overall aesthetic appearance.

[0030] 6. The lampshade of the present invention has multiple openings in multiple directions, and other lampshades extend from multiple angles, forming a lamp group depending on the application scene. One of the end lampshades may be connected to an earth plug or base via an extended support member, or the lampshade may be directly connected to the base. When connected to an earth plug, a wiring port may be provided on the support member side, thereby allowing lead wires to extend and be electrically connected. Compared to conventional lamp groups, the present invention does not require a separate support frame as a skeletal support. The support member may be one or more combinations of shapes such as a straight cylindrical rod or a curved cylindrical rod. Users can combine the assemblies according to their needs, and by changing the shape of different combinations, a fresh feel can be maintained. Furthermore, the present invention is easy to attach and detach, occupies a small volume in packaging, and is convenient to transport. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0037] <Examples> This embodiment aims to improve upon existing methods where, in a single-piece molded lampshade, the wiring terminals applied to the lampshade do not allow for adjustment of the length of the wiring plugs, and the overall length after the two terminals are inserted into the lamp body must match the lengths of the two openings in the lampshade.

Finally, the wiring terminal 1a, which does not have lead wires connected, and the support member 3a, through which no lead wires pass, are attached to complete the overall support balance and complete appearance.

[0064] As shown in Figures 23 and 24, the support member 3 is a curved cylindrical shape, forming an S-shaped string-like connected lamp group, and multiple sets can be combined to form various aesthetic shapes. It may also be a spiral cylindrical shape, forming a spiral rising type string-like connected lamp group.
