[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510011723.X, filed on January 3, 2025, entitled "Elastomer Contact Terminal for Lamp Fixture and End Thereof", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of lighting fixtures, and more particularly to a lighting fixture and a resilient contact terminal at its end. Background Technology

[0003] Due to space constraints, the reed contact terminals of small lamps are often difficult to design into large or complex structures, directly resulting in insufficient elasticity. During prolonged use, the reed contact terminals are prone to permanent deformation due to frequent mechanical stress, leading to a reduction in contact area and insufficient contact volume. When the pressure between the contact terminals is insufficient to maintain stable electrical contact, current transmission is affected, ultimately causing the lamp to malfunction and fail to light up. This problem not only impacts the user experience but may also pose safety hazards. Technical issues

[0004] Given the above situation, how to design a reliable and economical reed contact terminal within a limited space has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of small lamp design and manufacturing.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing a luminaire and its end resilient contact terminal, aiming to solve the problem of insufficient elasticity and permanent deformation of the spring contact terminal of small luminaires due to long-term use. Technical solutions

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this application is the problem of insufficient elasticity and permanent deformation of the spring contact terminals in existing small lamps due to long-term use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides an elastic contact terminal for the end of a lamp fixture, including a connector frame suitable for mating and connecting to the end of the lamp fixture housing. Two conductive springs are spaced apart in the middle of the connector frame, wherein the conductive springs extend along the length direction of the housing, the length of the conductive springs is greater than the length of the connector frame, and includes a snap-fit ​​connector exposed in the connector frame. The snap-fit ​​connectors of the two conductive springs are configured to be able to open and close relative to each other, and an elastic element abuts against the inner sides of the snap-fit ​​connectors facing each other. The deformation restoring force of the elastic element causes the snap-fit ​​connectors to have a tendency to open outward.

[0008] In one optional embodiment, the conductive spring includes a fixed part and a movable part. The fixed part is fixedly installed in conjunction with the plug-in bracket, and the movable part is connected between the fixed part and the snap-fit ​​connector along the length direction. The plug-in bracket is provided with a movable gap for the movable part so that the movable part can swing along the width direction.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the connector includes a base plate and a mounting wall, wherein the base plate extends along the length of the housing, a conductive spring is adaptedly mounted on the base plate, and the mounting wall is vertically disposed on both sides of the base plate and is connected to the inner side of the housing.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, a spacer rib is provided protrudingly on the substrate, the spacer rib extends along the length of the housing, two conductive springs are respectively installed on different sides of the spacer rib and positioned between the spacer rib and the mounting wall, and an elastic element is provided on each side to abut against the spacer rib and the conductive spring.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, two snap-fit ​​connectors have recesses formed on opposite sides along the width direction, and the elastic element abuts against the recesses to open the snap-fit ​​connectors outward; a relief groove is formed extending from the recesses toward the ends away from the snap-fit ​​connectors and is configured to provide a receiving space for the elastic element when it is compressed and deformed.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the middle portion of the elastic element includes a bent portion configured to abut against the recess of the snap connector. One end of the elastic element is a support foot configured to form a support point in the connector frame, and the other end is a movable foot configured to move within the clearance groove as the elastic element deforms. The elastic element is configured to be able to open under force and to have a tendency to move the movable foot toward the support foot end under deformation recovery force.

[0013] In an alternative embodiment, the clearance groove includes one or more inclined surfaces extending from the self-locking connector to the fixed portion, such that the radial dimension of the movable portion is smaller than that of the fixed portion.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the connector further includes a cover plate that cooperates with the base plate to cover and form receiving spaces that isolate the two conductive springs respectively, while providing support points for the elastic element.

[0015] Secondly, this application also provides a strip lamp, including a strip-shaped housing, an opening at one end along the length direction of the housing, a circuit board fixedly assembled inside the housing, and elastic contact terminals as described above installed along the end of the housing, conductive springs electrically connected to the circuit board inside the housing, and a snap-fit ​​connector exposed outside the housing.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, the tail of the conductive spring includes a leg extending along its length within the housing, the end of the leg of each conductive spring being embedded in a connection hole on the circuit board to be electrically connected to the positive and negative lines of the circuit board.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, the housing includes a bottom surface and two side walls. An assembly groove is provided on the inner side of the side wall, and a plug strip adapted to the assembly groove is provided on the outer side of the plug frame. Each side assembly groove includes a wire groove. A conductive strip is assembled inside the housing along the wire groove. The conductive spring includes a side extension that extends laterally and exposes the plug frame. After the plug frame is assembled, the conductive spring on each side is electrically connected to the conductive strip through the side extension.

[0018] In one alternative embodiment, the conductive spring and the conductive strip are located on the same mounting surface, and the side of the side extending toward the tail of the conductive spring has an inwardly inclined guide surface. Beneficial effects

[0019] This application proposes a novel solution to address the issues of insufficient elasticity and permanent deformation of the spring contact terminals in small lighting fixtures due to prolonged use. By cleverly incorporating a spring structure within the connector frame, this application automatically provides a strong rebound force when the conductive spring deforms. This design not only ensures continuous and effective contact between the conductive spring and the conductive strip but also significantly improves the reliability and lifespan of the lighting fixture.

[0020] Furthermore, this conductive spring has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and greatly reduces production costs. This application not only solves the problems existing in the prior art, but also has high practicality and economy, bringing new ideas and technological breakthroughs to the design and production of small lamps.

Embodiments of the present invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0032] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] The first aspect of this application provides an elastic contact terminal at the end of a lamp 1000, comprising a plug-in bracket 1, as shown in FIG1, adapted to be fitted and connected to the end of a housing 200 of the lamp 1000. The housing 200 extends along its length and has an opening at its end. The elastic contact terminal 100 of this application is connected to the housing 200. The plug-in bracket 1 has the same extending direction as the lamp housing. Conductive springs 2 are provided at intervals in the plug-in bracket 1. The conductive springs 2 extend along the length direction of the housing 200. The length of the conductive springs 2 is greater than the length of the plug-in bracket 1 and includes a snap-fit ​​connector 21 exposed in the plug-in bracket 1. The conductive springs 2 are used for connecting positive and negative circuits. Generally, two are provided. Further, they are provided at intervals in the plug-in bracket 1 to meet electrical isolation. The snap-fit ​​connectors 21 of the two conductive springs 2 are configured to be able to open and close relative to each other, as shown in FIG2. An elastic element 3 abuts against the inner side of the snap-fit ​​connector 21 facing each other. The deformation restoring force of the elastic element 3 causes the snap-fit ​​connector 21 to have a tendency to open outward. According to the above structure, when the end of the elastic contact terminal 100 of this application is interconnected, the snap-fit ​​connector 21 opens outward, and a stable interconnection is achieved with other external housing structures of the same type.

[0034] The conductive spring 2 includes a fixed part 22 and a movable part 23. The fixed part 22 is fixedly installed in conjunction with the connector 1. The movable part 23 is connected between the fixed part 22 and the snap-fit ​​connector 21 along the length direction. The connector 1 has a clearance for the movable part 23, allowing it to swing along the width direction. The conductive spring 2 can be a machined, integrated elastic metal sheet. The conductive spring 2 is resilient and bendable. After the two conductive springs 2 are installed, under an inward external force, the two movable parts 23 swing inward, causing the snap-fit ​​connector 21 connected to its front end to move inward, reducing its radial width for easier installation. Subsequently, under the restoring force of the elastic element 3, the snap-fit ​​connector 21 opens outward, causing the two movable parts 23 to swing outward. In this way, the two conductive springs 2 move on different sides along their mounting plane. Preferably, the snap-fit ​​connector 21, as the movable part 23 swings, causes the portion exposed on the connector 1 to move laterally and telescopically along the width direction.

[0035] Figures 3 and 4 show schematic diagrams of the structure of the elastic contact terminal. The plug-in frame 1 includes a base plate 11 and a mounting wall 12. The base plate 11 extends laterally along the length of the housing 200 and is suitable for mounting conductive springs 2. The mounting wall 12 is vertically arranged on both sides of the base plate 11 and is connected to the inner side of the housing 200. A spacer rib 13 is protruding on the base plate 11. The spacer rib 13 extends along the length of the housing 200 to separate the mounting space on the base plate 11. Two conductive springs 2 are each mounted on different sides of the spacer rib 13 and positioned between the spacer rib 13 and the mounting wall 12. An elastic element 3 abuts against the spacer rib 13 and the conductive spring 2.

[0036] Two snap-fit ​​connectors 21 have recesses 211 formed on opposite sides along their width. The elastic element 3 abuts against the recesses 211, causing the snap-fit ​​connectors 21 to open outwards. Simultaneously, the recesses 211 provide space for a portion of the elastic element 3 to be positioned within them, preventing the elastic element 3 from dislodging during movement. Furthermore, a relief groove 212 extends from the recesses 211 towards the end away from the snap-fit ​​connectors 21, providing a space for the elastic element 3 to accommodate compression deformation. When the elastic element 3 is compressed and deformed, a portion is locked in the recesses 211, while the extended portion deforms and expands / contracts within the relief groove 212.

[0037] In one specific embodiment of this application, the elastic element 3 is configured as an elongated metal part, specifically, a metal strip or a metal wire. The elastic element 3 includes a bent portion 31 in its middle section. During use, the bent portion 31 abuts against the recess 211 of the snap-fit ​​connector 21. One end of the elastic element 3 is a support leg 32, configured to form a support point in the connector 1, and the other end is a movable leg 33, configured to extend and move within the clearance groove 212 as the elastic element 3 elastically deforms. The elastic element 3 is configured to be able to open under force and has a tendency to bring its two ends closer together under deformation recovery force. For the bent elastic element 3, it deforms and extends under force. When installed inside the snap-fit ​​connector 21, the support leg 32 abuts against the front end of the substrate 11, and the bent portion 31 is embedded in the recess 211 of the snap-fit ​​connector 21. As it deforms and extends, one side of the movable leg 33 moves away from the support leg 32, causing the elastic element 3 to tend to open. The clearance groove 212 provides space for the movable leg 33 to move. Under the elastic restoring force, the elastic element 3 tends to return to its original bent state, the movable foot 33 approaches the support foot 32, and at the same time, the bent part 31 of the elastic element 3 arches up, causing the snap connector 21 to extend outward.

[0038] The clearance groove 212 includes one or more inclined surfaces extending from the snap-fit ​​connector 21 to the fixing part 22, so that the radial dimension of the movable part 23 is smaller than that of the fixing part 22 and can swing within the space provided by the base plate 11, while also allowing the movable foot 33 of the elastic element 3 to have room for extension.

[0039] In addition, the connector 1 also includes a cover plate 4, which fits and covers the base plate 11 to form a receiving space that isolates the two conductive spring pieces 2 respectively, while providing a support point for the elastic element 3. After the cover plate 4, base plate 11 and spacer rib 13 are fitted together, a set of conductive spring pieces 2 and elastic element 3 are respectively accommodated on both sides of the spacer rib 13. The front end of the base plate 11 has an upright front baffle 14, and the end of the spacer rib 13 is provided with an installation gap corresponding to the front baffle 14. A horizontal strip 41 extends downward from the front end of the bottom side of the cover plate 4. When the cover plate 4 is closed, the horizontal strip 41 is embedded between the front baffle 14 and the spacer rib 13 to achieve a tight fit between the two, and to form an exposed opening between the front baffle 14 and the mounting wall 12 suitable for the telescopic movement of the snap connector 21.

[0040] Based on the aforementioned resilient contact terminal, a second aspect of this application further provides a strip lamp 1000, as shown in FIG5. The lamp 1000 includes a strip-shaped housing 200, with an opening at one end along its length. A strip-shaped circuit board 5 is fixedly mounted inside the housing 200. The aforementioned resilient contact terminal 100 is mounted along the end of the housing 200. A conductive spring 2 is electrically connected to the circuit board 5 inside the housing 200. A snap-fit ​​connector 21 protrudes outside the housing 200 for external interconnection. Further, the tail of the conductive spring 2 includes a support leg 24 extending along its length inside the housing 200. The support leg 24 of each conductive spring 2 extends beyond the substrate 11 of the connector 1. The ends of each support leg 24 are respectively embedded in the connection holes on the circuit board 5, and the support leg 24 is electrically connected to the positive and negative lines of the circuit board 5.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, the housing 200 includes a bottom surface 201 and two side walls 202, which are integrally formed. An assembly groove 203 is provided on the inner side of the side wall 202, and a plug-in strip 15 adapted to the assembly groove 203 is provided on the outer side of the plug-in bracket 1. One or more plug-in strips 15 can be provided along the mounting wall 12 on each side. Additionally, a base with a certain strength is fitted externally to the housing 200, or it can be installed in a track. In one embodiment of this application, each side assembly groove 203 includes a wire groove, and a conductive strip 6 is assembled along the wire groove inside the housing 200. The conductive spring piece 2 includes a side extension 25 extending laterally and exposing the plug-in bracket 1. After the plug-in bracket 1 is assembled, the conductive spring piece 2 on each side is electrically connected to the conductive strip 6 through the side extension 25, so that the lamps draw power through the conductive strip 6 when cascaded.

[0042] The luminaire of this application is suitable for interconnection of multiple luminaires of the same type. When the luminaires are interconnected, since a portion of the elastic contact terminal 100 of the luminaire is located outside the housing 200, it can make electrical contact with the conductive strip 6 inside another luminaire through the exposed snap-fit ​​connector 21. When one luminaire is energized, all luminaires cascaded with it can be energized, thereby achieving conductivity. Furthermore, the lateral extension length of the snap-fit ​​connector 21 for power extraction is equivalent to that of the side extension 25, achieving good electrical contact with conductive strips 6 at equal intervals.

[0043] Figure 6 illustrates the bottom structure of the lamp, with the lamp housing blurred to show the various components installed inside. Furthermore, the bottom of the connector 1 is provided with a snap fastener 16, and the bottom surface 201 of the housing 200 is provided with a snap-fit ​​interface 204 adapted to the snap fastener 16 to maintain a stable connection after assembly. Optionally, the bottom of the connector 1 is provided with a limiting block 17, which abuts against the outside of the housing 200 after the connector 1 and the housing 200 are assembled to further prevent relative movement between the two.

[0044] The conductive spring 2 is mounted and extends on the connector 1. Specifically, a base plate 11 extends along the length direction of the connector 1. The base plate 11 has spacer ribs 13. The fixing part 22 in the middle of the conductive spring 2 is installed between the spacer ribs 13 and the mounting wall 12. Optionally, the width of the fixing part 22 is equivalent to the gap width between the spacer ribs 13 and the mounting wall 12, so that the conductive spring 2 can be fixedly clamped therebetween. Both ends of the base plate 11 extend beyond the mounting wall 12 along the length direction, and the snap connector 21 and the side extension 25 extend laterally. Preferably, the snap connector 21 and the side extension 25 each extend outward from the front and rear ends of the mounting wall 12 along the length direction, so that the conductive spring 2 clamps the mounting wall 12, and the forward and backward movement of the conductive spring 2 on the connector 1 is restricted.

[0045] Preferably, the conductive spring 2 and the conductive strip 6 are located on the same mounting surface. The side extension 25 has an inwardly inclined guide surface on the side facing the tail of the conductive spring 2. During assembly, the connector 1 guides the conductive spring 2 and the conductive strip 6 to abut against each other through the guide surface. The circuit board 5 is mounted along the assembly slot 203 of the housing 200 and may not be located on the same mounting surface as the conductive spring 2. The support leg 24 of the conductive spring 2 is bent before being inserted into the circuit board 5.

[0046] The circuit board 5 of the lamp 1000 is equipped with an LED chip 51. The lamp 1000 also includes a lampshade 7 positioned in the light-emitting direction of the LED chip 51. Optionally, the lampshade 7, side wall 202, and bottom surface 201 are integrally formed into a housing 200. A partition 8 is provided at the end of the housing 200 to isolate the circuit board 5 from the outside. Optionally, the partition 8 is provided with a mounting post that matches the mounting hole at the end of the circuit board 5, so that the partition 8 is fixedly mounted relative to the circuit board 5.

[0047] In use, to facilitate interconnection, a guide slope 213 is provided at the end of the snap-fit ​​connector 21. When the snap-fit ​​connector 21 is inserted through the elastic contact terminal 100, the guide slope 213 is first pressed inward by force, and the snap-fit ​​connectors 21 on both sides retract inward. After installation, the snap-fit ​​connector 21 remains open under the reset force of the elastic element 3, so that the conductive spring 2 can maintain a stable electrical connection when interconnected with the external lamp.

[0048] The preferred embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this application without inventive effort. Therefore, any technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this application through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
