For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] The wire fasteners and lighting devices provided in the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to Figures 1-6.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the wire fastener 1 includes a first half-buckle 11 and a second half-buckle 12. The first half-buckle 11 has a first wire groove 111 extending along the length direction; the second half-buckle 12 has a second wire groove 121 extending along the length direction; when the first half-buckle 11 and the second half-buckle 12 are engaged, the first wire groove 111 and the second wire groove 121 form a clamping space configured to clamp the wire 2. The first wire groove 111 has a first snap fastener 1111 extending towards the second half-buckle, and the second wire groove 121 has a second snap fastener 1211 extending towards the first half-buckle, and the first snap fastener 1111 and the second snap fastener 1211 are offset along the length direction.

[0037] Specifically, the wire fastener 1 mainly consists of two parts: the first half-buckle 11 and the second half-buckle 12. These two parts work together to fix and seal the wire 2.

[0038] First, the first half-buckle 11 has a first wire groove 111 in its structure, and a first snap fastener 1111 is provided on the inner side of the first wire groove 111. This design makes the first half-buckle 11 more secure when fixing the wire 2.

[0039] Next, the second half-buckle 12 is also designed with a similar structure. A second snap buckle 1211 is set on the inner side of the second wire groove 121. The purpose is to better clamp the wire 2 when the second half-buckle 12 comes into contact with the wire 2, so as to ensure its stability.

[0040] When the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 are precisely aligned, they together form the clamping space for the wire 2. At this time, the first snap fastener 1111 and the second snap fastener 1211 extend into the wire 2 within the clamping space, and are staggered along the extension direction of the wire 2. This ensures that the wire 2 is firmly fixed and effectively seals the wire 2, preventing it from loosening or being damaged during operation.

[0041] The wire fastener of this application forms a clamping space for holding the wire between the first half-clasp 11 and the second half-clasp 12, while the first snap fastener 1111 and the second snap fastener 1211 extend into the wire 2 within the clamping space. This staggered arrangement provides double fixation to the wire 2 in the extending direction, improving the wire's secure fastening. Furthermore, this method also creates a certain degree of sealing within the clamping space. This sealing structure effectively prevents moisture and gas from entering the lighting equipment through the gap between the wire 2 and the wire fastener 1, thus providing waterproofing and anti-siphoning effects, enhancing the durability and reliability of the lighting equipment.

[0042] It should be noted that, compared to traditional waterproof connectors and complex cable fixing methods, the cable fixing component 1 of this application has a simple structure and is easy to install. No special tools or complex processes are required to easily fix the cable, reducing installation difficulty and cost. Moreover, this cable fixing component 1 is suitable for cables 2 of different diameters and materials; simply adjusting the distance between the first half-loop 11 and the second half-loop 12 and the clamping force is sufficient to accommodate different specifications of cable 2. This wide adaptability makes this fixing component a promising candidate for widespread application in lighting equipment. Furthermore, by effectively fixing and sealing the cable 2, the cable fixing component 1 of this application can prevent safety hazards caused by the cable 2 loosening or falling off, thus improving the overall safety of the lighting equipment.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, when the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 are mated, a tapered structure 13 is formed on the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12. The small-diameter end of the tapered structure 13 is the front end, and the large-diameter end of the tapered structure 13 is the rear end. A plug-in portion is formed at the front end of the tapered structure 13. The plug-in portion is configured to guide and fix the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 to the wiring hole 31 of the electrical equipment when the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 are inserted.

[0044] For example, as shown in Figure 4, when it is necessary to seal the wire 2 to the lamp body 3 of the lighting equipment, the plug part can cooperate to guide the first half buckle 11 and the second half buckle 12 into the wiring hole 31 of the lamp body 3, and cooperate to fix the conical structure 13 in the wiring hole 31 to prevent it from loosening or falling off in the wiring hole 31 after insertion.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, in this embodiment, the first half-button 11 is provided with a first insertion part 112, and the second half-button 12 is provided with a second insertion part 122. The shape and size of the first insertion part 112 and the second insertion part 122 can be customized according to the design of different electrical devices and wiring holes 31 to ensure that they can be smoothly inserted and fixed in the wiring holes 31.

[0046] Furthermore, the design of the first plug-in portion 112 and the second plug-in portion 122 can also incorporate anti-slip structures, such as adding friction textures or using anti-slip materials, to prevent the first plug-in portion 112 and the second plug-in portion 122 from loosening or falling out of the wiring hole 31. Simultaneously, the length and bending angle of the first plug-in portion 112 and the second plug-in portion 122 can be adjusted as needed to accommodate wiring holes 31 of different depths and shapes. The design of the first plug-in portion 112 and the second plug-in portion 122 makes the application of the wire fastener 1 in electrical equipment more flexible and convenient, improving installation efficiency.

[0047] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a tapered structure 13 is used to insert into the wiring hole 31, so as to facilitate smoother insertion into the wiring hole 31 of the electrical device. The design of the tapered structure 13 is based on its unique geometry, which allows the plug to gradually adapt and smoothly enter the wiring hole during insertion, reducing insertion resistance and improving operational efficiency. At the same time, the tapered structure 13 also ensures a tight fit between the plug and the wiring hole, improving the stability and reliability of wire fixing.

[0048] Furthermore, the use of the tapered structure 13 also takes into account the diversity of wiring holes 31 in electrical equipment. Since the wiring holes of different electrical equipment may vary in size, shape, etc., the use of the tapered structure can increase the applicability of the plug-in part, making it able to adapt to more types of wiring holes.

[0049] In summary, the design of using a tapered structure 13 to insert into the wiring hole 31 in this embodiment not only improves the convenience and efficiency of insertion, but also enhances the stability and reliability of wire fixing, while increasing the applicability of the plug-in part.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the outer side of the plug portion is provided with a guide slope and a positioning surface, and the guide slope is slidably engaged with the wiring hole; when the guide slope slides to the rear end of the wiring hole, the positioning surface abuts against the side wall of the rear end of the wiring hole 31 to position the first half buckle 11 and the second half buckle 12 to the wiring hole 31.

[0051] Specifically, the first insertion part 112 is provided with a first guide slope 1121 and a first positioning surface 1122. The second insertion part 122 is provided with a second guide slope 1221 and a second positioning surface 1222.

[0052] During installation, the user can align the insertion parts of the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 with the wiring hole 31 and then gently push them in. At this time, the guide slopes (such as the first guide slope 1121 and the second guide slope 1221) form a sliding fit with the side wall of the wiring hole 31, which guides the insertion parts to smoothly enter the wiring hole. This design can reduce the friction between the insertion parts and the wiring hole, making the installation process smoother.

[0053] When the guide ramp slides to the rear end of the wiring hole 31, the positioning surfaces (such as the first positioning surface 1122 and the second positioning surface 1222) abut against the side wall of the rear end of the wiring hole 31. This design ensures the accurate position of the first half-clamp 11 and the second half-clamp 12 in the wiring hole 31, preventing them from loosening or shifting during use.

[0054] By combining the guide ramp and the positioning surface, the wire fastener 1 in this embodiment is not only easy and quick to install, but also provides a more reliable fixing effect. This design improves the practicality and user experience of the wire fastener 1, making it more widely applicable in various electrical devices.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, a limiting portion 113 is formed at the rear end of the tapered structure 13 (that is, the limiting portion 113 is formed at the rear end of the first half buckle 11 and / or the second half buckle 12), and the limiting portion 113 is configured to engage with the plug-in portion to fix and seal the first half buckle 11 and the second half buckle 12 to the wiring hole 31.

[0056] For example, in lighting applications, as shown in Figure 4, when it is necessary to seal the wire 2 to the lamp body 3, the user can insert the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 into the wiring hole 31 of the lamp body 3 through the plug-in part. Subsequently, the limiting part 113 will function, together with the plug-in part, to ensure the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 are firmly positioned in the wiring hole 31. In this way, not only can the wire fixing part 1 be prevented from loosening or falling off during use, but the sealing performance of the wiring hole 31 can also be improved, preventing moisture, dust and other external substances from entering the electrical equipment.

[0057] In this embodiment, to ensure optimal sealing performance, the limiting part 113 is provided only on the first half-button 11. This design simplifies the structure and reduces manufacturing costs while ensuring both fixing and sealing performance. Of course, depending on actual application requirements, the limiting part can also be provided on the second half-button 12, or both the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 can be provided simultaneously.

[0058] The specific shape and size of the limiting part 113 can be customized according to the shape and size of the wiring hole 31 to ensure that it can form a good fit and seal with the wiring hole 31. For example, the limiting part 113 can be designed as a protrusion or groove structure that matches the shape of the rear end of the wiring hole 31 to increase the reliability of fixing and sealing.

[0059] In summary, by providing the limiting part 113, the fixing and sealing effect of the wire fastener 1 in the wiring hole 31 in this embodiment is further improved. This design makes the application of the wire fastener 1 more widespread and reliable in various electrical devices.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG2, a fixing surface 1131 is provided on the outer side of the limiting part 113, and the fixing surface 1131 is disposed opposite to the positioning surface (such as the first positioning surface 1122 and the second positioning surface 1222). When the guide slope (such as the first guide slope 1121 and the second guide slope 1221) slides to the rear end of the wiring hole 31, the fixing surface 1131 abuts against the front side wall of the wiring hole 31 to cooperate with the positioning surface to fix and seal the first half buckle 11 and the second half buckle 12 to the wiring hole 31.

[0061] During installation, when the guide ramps (such as the first guide ramp 1121 and the second guide ramp 1221) slide to the rear end of the wiring hole 31, the fixing surface 1131 abuts against the front side wall of the wiring hole 31. At this time, the positioning surface and the fixing surface 1131 work together to firmly fix and seal the first half-clamp 11 and the second half-clamp 12 in the wiring hole 31. This fixing and sealing mechanism ensures the stability and reliability of the wire fastener 1 in the electrical equipment and prevents the wire from loosening and the intrusion of external substances.

[0062] Furthermore, the design of the fixing surface 1131 can be customized according to the shape and size of the wiring hole 31 to ensure a good fit and seal with the wiring hole 31. For example, the fixing surface 1131 can be designed as a raised or recessed structure that matches the shape of the front sidewall of the wiring hole 31 to increase the reliability of fixing and sealing.

[0063] In summary, by setting the fixing surface 1131, the fixing and sealing effect of the wire fixing member 1 in the wiring hole 31 in this embodiment is further improved.

[0064] In some embodiments, to improve the sealing effect, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, multiple first snap fasteners 1111 and / or second snap fasteners 1211 are provided, wherein at least one first snap fastener 1111 and one of the second snap fasteners 1211 are staggered along the extension direction of the wire 2. This staggered design can increase the contact area between the wire 2 and the snap fasteners, improving the fixing and sealing effect. At the same time, the staggered arrangement can also prevent the wire 2 from slipping or loosening when subjected to external forces, ensuring the stability and reliability of the wire fastener 1.

[0065] In practical applications, the number and specific placement of the first snap fastener 1111 and the second snap fastener 1211 can be adjusted according to the diameter, material, and fixing requirements of the wire 2. For example, for wires 2 with larger diameters, the number of snap fasteners can be increased to improve the fixing effect; for applications requiring higher sealing performance, the degree of misalignment of the snap fasteners can be adjusted to enhance the sealing performance.

[0066] In summary, by setting multiple snap fasteners and achieving an alternating arrangement of at least one first snap fastener 1111 and at least one second snap fastener 1211, the wire fastener 1 in this embodiment can better fix and seal the wire 2, thereby improving the sealing effect of the circuit.

[0067] Based on the above embodiments, in one example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, in order to match the shape of the wiring hole 31 and the wire 2, the cross-section of the first half buckle 11 and / or the second half buckle 12 along the extension direction of the wire 2 is U-shaped.

[0068] This U-shaped design effectively wraps the wire 2 between the first half-buckle 11 and the second half-buckle 12, and fixes the wire 2 within the U-shaped first wire groove 111 and second wire groove 121 by snap fasteners (such as the first snap fastener 1111 and the second snap fastener 1211). Since the shapes of the first wire groove 111 and the second wire groove 121 match the wire 2, it can better accommodate wires 2 of different diameters and shapes, thus improving the fixing effect.

[0069] Meanwhile, the U-shaped design also increases the contact area between the first half-clamp 11 and the second half-clamp 12 and the wiring hole 31, improving the sealing performance. When the first half-clamp 11 and the second half-clamp 12 are inserted into the wiring hole 31, the two side walls of the U-shaped groove can fit tightly against the inner wall of the wiring hole 31, preventing external substances from entering the electrical equipment.

[0070] Furthermore, the U-shaped design enhances the structural strength of the first half-buckle 11 and the second half-buckle 12, making them more durable and reliable. Under external forces, the U-shaped structure can better withstand tension and compression, preventing damage or deformation of the wire fastener 1.

[0071] In summary, by designing the cross-sections of the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12 into a U-shape, the shape of the wiring hole 31 and the wire 2 can be better adapted, improving the fixing effect and sealing performance, while enhancing the structural strength, making the wire fastener 1 more stable and reliable in practical applications.

[0072] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, a guide member 1112 is provided in the first groove 111. During the process of the first half buckle 11 and the second half buckle 12 docking, the second half buckle 12 is inserted into the first groove 111 along the guide member 1112.

[0073] Providing a guide 1112 in the first groove 111 is an effective way to improve the docking accuracy and ease of the first half-button 11 and the second half-button 12. The guide 1112 can be a guide structure protruding from the inner wall of the first groove 111, whose shape and size match the second half-button 12, and is configured to provide guidance when the second half-button 12 is inserted into the first groove 111.

[0074] When the first half-clamp 11 and the second half-clamp 12 are ready to mate, the user can align the second half-clamp 12 with the guide 1112 and begin insertion. Due to the presence of the guide 1112, the second half-clamp 12 will move along a predetermined trajectory, thus entering the first groove 111 more easily and accurately. This design can significantly reduce errors and difficulties during the mating process and improve mating efficiency.

[0075] Meanwhile, the guide 1112 can also prevent misalignment or damage to the first half-lock 11 and the second half-lock 12 during the docking process to a certain extent. By providing a stable guiding effect, the guide 1112 can ensure the correct position and orientation of the first half-lock 11 and the second half-lock 12 during docking, avoiding unnecessary wear or collision.

[0076] Furthermore, to further enhance the sealing performance of the wire fastener 1 and ensure a complete seal between the wire 2 and the connection hole 31, sealant can be applied to key areas. This sealant has good elasticity and water resistance, effectively preventing moisture, dust, and other external substances from seeping into the electrical equipment through the interface.

[0077] First, a layer of sealant can be applied to the contact surface between the wire clip (first half-clip 11 and second half-clip 12) and the wire 2. This ensures a tight seal between the wire clip and the wire, preventing external substances from entering through the gap between the wire clip and the wire. Even application and sufficient contact of the sealant are crucial to ensure it forms an effective sealing barrier.

[0078] Secondly, sealant can be applied to the interface between the wire clip (first half-clip 11 and second half-clip 12) and the wiring hole 31. When the wire clip is inserted into the wiring hole, the sealant fills the gap between the wire clip and the wiring hole, forming a barrier to prevent external substances from entering the electrical equipment through the interface. Similarly, ensuring even application and full contact of the sealant is crucial.

[0079] When selecting a sealant, its water resistance, temperature resistance, and compatibility with the materials of wire clips and connection holes should be considered. This ensures that the sealant maintains a stable sealing effect under different environments and conditions.

[0080] By implementing the above measures, the sealing performance of the wire fastener 1 can be effectively improved, ensuring the safe operation of electrical equipment and extending its service life. Simultaneously, this sealing treatment also enhances the waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof performance of the wire fastener 1, enabling it to maintain stable performance under various harsh environments.

[0081] This application also provides a lighting device, which can be one or more of the following: floodlight, streetlight, spotlight, wall washer, point light source, underwater light, or in-ground light.

[0082] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the lighting device includes a wire fastener 1 and a lamp body 3. The wire fastener 1 includes a first half-buckle 11 and a second half-buckle 12. The first half-buckle 11 has a first wire groove 111 extending along the length direction; the second half-buckle 12 has a second wire groove 121 extending along the length direction. When the first half-buckle 11 and the second half-buckle 12 are connected, the first wire groove 111 and the second wire groove 121 form a clamping space configured to clamp the wire 2. The first wire groove 111 has a first snap fastener 1111 extending towards the second half-buckle, and the second wire groove 121 has a second snap fastener 1211 extending towards the first half-buckle, and the first snap fastener 1111 and the second snap fastener 1211 are offset along the length direction. The lamp body 3 has a wiring hole 31. When the first half-buckle 11 and the second half-buckle 12 are connected to fix the wire 2, the first half-buckle 11 cooperates with the second half-buckle 12 to seal and fix the wire 2 in the wiring hole 31.

[0083] The lighting device of this application utilizes a clamping space formed between the first half-buckle 11 and the second half-buckle 12, while the first snap fastener 1111 and the second snap fastener 1211 extend into the wire 2 within the clamping space. This staggered arrangement provides double fixation to the wire 2 in the extension direction, improving the wire's secure fixation. Furthermore, this method also creates a certain degree of sealing within the clamping space. This sealing structure effectively prevents moisture and gas from entering the lighting device through the gap between the wire 2 and the wire fixing member 1, thus providing waterproofing and anti-siphoning effects, enhancing the durability and reliability of the lighting device.

[0084] In this embodiment, the wiring hole 31 is a tapered hole, with the diameter of the front end of the wiring hole 31 being larger than the diameter of its rear end. This design facilitates easier and safer installation of the wire fastener.

[0085] Specifically, the larger diameter at the front provides more space when inserting the cable clip, making it easier for users to guide the clip into the correct position. The smaller diameter at the rear ensures that once inserted, the clip secures the cable more tightly, providing excellent sealing and stability.

[0086] In practical applications, users can first align the wire clip with the front end of the wiring hole. Due to the larger diameter of the front end, it is easier for users to guide the wire clip into the wiring hole. As the wire clip is inserted deeper, the diameter of the wiring hole gradually decreases, which gradually tightens the wire clip until the desired fixing effect is achieved. This design not only facilitates the user's installation operation but also ensures the stability and reliability of the wire fastener during use.

[0087] In addition, the design that the diameter of the front end of the wiring hole is larger than that of the rear end can also prevent the wire fastener from being accidentally inserted into other small holes or interfaces during installation, thus improving the ease of use.

[0088] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative, and some or all of the modules can be selected to achieve the purpose of this embodiment according to actual needs. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement these embodiments without any creative effort.

[0089] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
