The present disclosure claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202322259097.5, filed on Aug. 21, 2023, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of lamps and lanterns, and particularly relates to a lamp head for a Christmas light.
Lamps are used in thousands of households for lighting, but also play a decorative role, which are vital to life. In important festivals, people will use Christmas lights as decorations to set the mood. The Christmas light is usually a string of lights formed by a number of lamps connected in series or parallel together, for hanging up.
Due to the large number of lamp heads on the Christmas light, the installation workload is large. In the related art, the lead on the lamp heads is welded to an external wire, and when part of the lamp heads is damaged, the part is inconvenient to remove and the only operable solution is to replace the whole Christmas light; or, a light-emitting inner-core assembly is screwed into the lamp head shell, and installation and removal are inconvenient. When the Christmas light is placed in the outdoor, snow and rain are easy to seep into the lamp head, while waterproof of the lamp head is poor, which results in a leakage of electricity or short-circuit with a potential safety hazard.
The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide, in response to the above existing technical problems, a lamp head for a Christmas light. By filling the light-transmitting lampshade with the potting adhesive to waterproof the patch lamp board, the two leads on the patch lamp board pass out of the fixing seat, and the fixing seat is inserted and connected in the mounting hole of the lamp head shell, such that the installation is convenient and quick, and the internal waterproofing of the lamp head shell is realized. The present disclosure achieves the effect of waterproofing and easy installation.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is clear that the described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
This embodiment provides a lamp head for a Christmas light, including:
In this technical solution, the lamp head shell 1 may be made of UL5508 flame-retardant PP produced by Polystone Chemical, which has the advantage of high temperature resistance; the light-transmitting lampshade 3 may be made of PS material, which has good light transmittance; the lamp head shell 1 is a hollow shell and two ends of the lamp head shell 1 are in communication, and the light-emitting inner-core assembly 2 is sleeved in the lamp head shell 1.
During an installation process, the patch lamp board 4 is arranged in the light-transmitting lampshade 3, an outer peripheral edge of the patch lamp board 4 is in contact with an inner peripheral wall of the light-transmitting lampshade 3, and the potting adhesive 7 is filled into the light-transmitting lampshade to seal the patch lamp board 4, which plays a waterproof role for the patch lamp board 4. For example, when the lamp head is used in outdoor, the waterproof function may avoid leakage of electricity caused by the rain. At least one light-emitting body, preferably 4 in number, is arranged on the patch lamp board 4.
An end of the light-transmitting lampshade 3 is arranged with a curved convex ring, and the fixing seat 5 defines a ring groove. During the installation process of the light-transmitting lampshade 3, the light-transmitting lampshade 3 is pressed to make the curved convex ring snapped into the ring groove on the fixing seat 5. The patch lamp board 4 is arranged with the two leads 8, and the two leads 8 pass through the potting adhesive 7 and are threaded out from the fixing seat 5. In addition, the external wire passes through the mounting hole 6 on the lamp head shell 1, and the fixing seat 5 is inserted and connected in the mounting hole 6, such that the two leads 8 and the external wire can be electrically connected. This installation method is quick and easy, and energizing is directly realized through the plug-in method. When the fixing seat 5 is inserted and connected into the mounting hole 6, a top of the fixing seat 5 may slightly protrude out of the mounting hole 6. In this way, during a deinstallation process, an end of the fixing seat 5 protruding in the mounting hole 6 may be pushed, such that the fixing seat 5 is disengaged from the mounting hole 6; also, a tool may pass through the mounting hole 6 on the lamp head shell 1 to push against the fixing seat 5, such that the fixing seat 5 is removed. The mounting hole 6 on the lamp head shell 1 can accommodate only the fixing seat 5 and the external wire, such that water leakage is not easy to happen. In addition, a connection between the mounting hole 6 and the external wire is filled with adhesive, for waterproofing against the light-emitting inner-core assembly 2, thereby avoiding leakage of electricity or a short-circuit.
A hanging ear 19 is further connected to an outer surface of the lamp head shell 1 for fixing the lamp head on a tree branch or other objects. An internal thread 20 may be arranged in the lamp head shell 1, the ring groove is defined between an inner wall of the lamp head shell 1 and an outer wall of the mating portion 53, and the internal thread 20 is arranged on the inner wall of the lamp head shell 1 for installing a lamp shell of the Christmas light. The lamp shell may be colorful for decorative purposes, and the light emitting is thus more beautiful. The Christmas light may be multiple lamp heads connected in series or in parallel together as a string of lights.
This embodiment provides a lamp head for a Christmas light, which has the following technical features in addition to including the technical solutions in the above embodiments.
The light-transmitting lampshade 3 includes a closed light source scattering end 31 and an open end 32 for filling with the potting adhesive 7. The patch lamp board 4 is arranged on an inner side of the light source scattering end 31. The patch lamp board 4 defines a penetration hole 9, and a hot-melt column 10 is arranged in the penetration hole 9 and abuts against the inner side of the light source scattering end 31.
In this technical solution, the light source scattering end 31 is a curved structure, which improves the structural strength of the light-transmitting lampshade 3, and makes the light dispersion more uniform. The hot-melt column 10 is configured to connect the patch lamp board 4 to the light source scattering end 31, and the hot-melt column 10 may be made of hot-melt adhesive. An end of the hot-melt column 10 may be attached to the light source scattering end 31 and in the penetration hole 9 through a heating gun to heat up the hot-melt column 10, which makes it easy to adjust the light source scattering end 31 and the penetration hole 9 after the patch lamp board 4 is fixed, thereby avoiding the patch lamp board 4 from shifting when the adhesive is filled.
This embodiment provides a lamp head for a Christmas light, which has the following technical features in addition to including the technical solutions in the above embodiments.
The fixing seat 5 includes a first socket portion 51, a second socket portion 52, and a mating portion 53 that are disposed sequentially from top to bottom, and the mating portion 53 is sleeved on the open end 32.
In this technical solution, the mating portion 53 is a ring-shaped structure. The mating portion 53 is sleeved on the open end 32. The first socket portion 51, the second socket portion 52, and the mating portion 53 are all inserted and connected in the mounting hole 6, which facilitates installation. An end of the first socket portion 51 protrudes out of the lamp head shell 1 through the mounting hole 6, such that when it is necessary to dismantle the light-emitting inner-core assembly 2, a hand or a tool may be used to push against the first socket portion 51, such that the light-emitting inner-core assembly 2 can be ejected out of the lamp.
This embodiment provides a lamp head for a Christmas light, which has the following technical features in addition to including the technical solutions in the above embodiments.
The mounting hole 6 includes a first chamber 61 adapted to the first socket portion 51, and a second chamber 62 adapted to the second socket portion 52.
