The present invention belongs to the technical field of a light bulb used in a light string.
Traditional light strings have been used for many years in the arrangements of environmental lighting, such as celebration venues, holiday decorations, restaurant or hotel settings, yard decorations, outdoor parties, plant growth fill light, and others.
In the prior light string, a plurality of lamp holders are installed on the wire, but the connection between the lamp holders and the wire is too cumbersome. This not only requires to fix the lamp holders on the wire, but also requires an electrical connection between the wire and the lamp holders, leading to low production efficiency.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a light bulb for a light string. The light bulb provided for the light string possesses features, such as simple structure and ease of use. The filament of the light bulb is directly connected into the circuit by directly inserting the first wiring terminal and the second wiring terminal into the first wire and the second wire and electrically connected together, which avoids tedious wiring process. The light bulb can be directly plugged or replaced, thus simplifying the connection structure, ensuring high connection efficiency, and improving electrical connecting effect.
For completing the foregoing objective of the present invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.
A light bulb used in a light string includes a lamp holder snapped onto a first wire and a second wire. A wiring base and a lamp shade are mounted on the lamp holder. A connection part is provided at the top of the lamp shade. The connection part is embedded between the lamp holder and the wiring base. The first wiring terminal for connecting the first wire and the second wiring terminal for connecting the second wire are embedded on the wiring base. The top of the first wiring terminal is connected to the first wire, and the top of the second wiring terminal is connected to the second wire. The bottom end of the first wiring terminal and the bottom end of the second wiring terminal are connected to each other by a filament.
In the present invention, the first wiring terminal and the second wiring terminal are directly inserted into the first wire and the second wire, respectively, such that the filament is directly connected between the first wire and the second wire, which avoids tedious wiring process, simplifies the connection structure, ensures high connection efficiency, and improves electrical connecting effect.
Preferably, the top of the lamp holder is provided with a limiting seat for embedding the first wire and the second wire, and a fixing cover is provided on the limiting seat and configured to limit the first wire and the second wire.
Preferably, the top of the lamp holder is provided with a protruding rib in the limiting seat for separating the first wire and the second wire.
Preferably, grooves respectively corresponding to the first wiring terminal and the second wiring terminal are provided in the fixing cover. The top of the first wiring terminal passes through the first wire into the groove, and the top of the second wiring terminal passes through the second wire into the groove.
Preferably, the connection part is threadedly connected to the lamp holder.
Preferably, guide slots respectively corresponding to the first wiring terminal and the second wiring terminal are provided in the lamp holder.
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
The present invention possesses features, such as simple structure and is easy to use. The filament is directly connected between the first wire and the second wire by directly inserting the first wiring terminal and the second wiring terminal into the first wire and the second wire, respectively, which avoids tedious wiring process, simplifies the connection structure, ensures high connection efficiency, and improves electrical connecting effect.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the preferred solution of the present invention is described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
As is shown in
In the present invention, the first wiring terminal 41 and the second wiring terminal 42 are directly inserted into the first wire 1 and the second wire 2, respectively, such that the filament 6 is directly connected between the first wire 1 and the second wire 2, which avoids the tedious wiring process, simplifies the connection structure, ensures high connection efficiency, and improves the electrical connecting effect.
Further, the top of the lamp holder 3 is provided with the limiting seat 31 for embedding the first wire 1 and the second wire 2, and the fixing cover 32 is provided on the limiting seat 31 and configured to limit the first wire 1 and the second wire 2.
By the limiting seat 31 and the fixing cover 32, the lamp holder 3 is stably connected with the first wire 1 and the second wire 2, ensuring optimal connection effect and high reliability of connection.
Further, the top of the lamp holder 3 is provided with the protruding rib 33 in the limiting seat 31 for separating the first wire 1 and the second wire 2.
Further, grooves 321 respectively corresponding to the first wiring terminal 41 and the second wiring terminal 42 are provided in the fixing cover 32. The top of the first wiring terminal 41 passes through the first wire 1 into the groove 321, and the top of the second wiring terminal 42 passes through the second wire 2 into the groove 321.
The top of the wiring terminal 41 and the top of the second wiring terminal 42 are respectively located in the grooves 321, ensuring that the first wiring terminal 41 and the second wiring terminal 42 pass through the first wire 1 and the second wire 2, respectively, to improve connecting effect. Since the top of the wiring terminal 41 and the top of the second wiring terminal 42 are respectively located in the grooves 321, direct contact with the first wiring terminal 41 or the second wiring terminal 42 is avoided in use, ensuring safety of use.
Further, the connection part 51 is threadedly connected to the lamp holder 3.
Further, the guide slots 34 respectively corresponding to the first wiring terminal 41 and the second wiring terminal 42 are provided in the lamp holder 3.
By the guide slots 34, the first wiring terminal 41 and the second wiring terminal 42 are stably guided to pass through the lamp holder 3.
In use, a plurality of light bulbs used for the light string are directly inserted into the first wire 1 and the second wire 2 through the first wiring terminal 41 and the second wiring terminal 42, respectively, and the bulb filament 6 is directly connected between the first wire and the second wire 2 that are connected to the power supply to complete the installation of a light string. After the power supply is turned on, all the light bulbs on the light suing are powered to emit light.
Based on the description of the present invention and the drawings, it is easy for those skilled in the art to manufacture or use the light bulbs for the light string of the present invention and to produce the positive effects documented herein.
