Embodiments
The embodiments are intended to solve a problem of low efficiency of assembly of a conventional light-emitting body. The embodiments provide a light-emitting body assembled by modular assembly. A first circuit structure thereof comprises a first protrusion extending out of an adapter connecting piece. The first protrusion has contacts electrically connected to the light-emitting unit, and no wire is needed to electrically connect the circuit board to the light-emitting unit, which simplifies an assembly process of the present disclosure, avoid an accumulation of wires in the adapter connecting piece, and makes the light-emitting body beautiful in appearance.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present disclosure provides a light-emitting body 10 assembled by modular assembly. The light-emitting body 10 comprises a first circuit structure 1, a power connector 2, and a light-emitting unit 4. The first circuit structure 1 comprises a first protrusion 11.
The power connector 2 is rigidly connected to one end of the first circuit structure 1. The first circuit structure 1 is electrically connected to an external power connecting terminal through the power connector 2.
The light-emitting unit 4 is disposed around the first circuit structure. The light-emitting unit 4 is electrically connected to the first protrusion 11. In one embodiment, the first protrusion 11 is protruded along a radial direction of the light-emitting unit 4 disposed around the first circuit structure 1. The first circuit structure 1 is a rigid/hard circuit board. The rigid/hard circuit board means that the first circuit structure 1 is made of a rigid material. That is, the first circuit structure 1 is a conventional hard circuit board and is unable to be bent. Optionally, the power connector 2 and the first circuit structure 1 are rigidly fixed by welding. Welding is a process in which joint surfaces of two or more metal piece (or other thermoplastic materials) are atomically bonded by heating, pressurizing, or a combination thereof to form a permanent connection. During a welding process, the two or more metal pieces to be connected together are heated to a molten state (or partially molten state) or are tightly bonded by applying pressure. Subsequently, the two or more metal piece solidify during a cooling process to form a solid joint. Rigid fixation refers to a fixing method for limiting or preventing a movement or deformation of a workpiece during welding, machining, or other material processing. Specifically, the workpiece is firmly fixed in a predetermined position and posture to ensure that the workpiece does not move or deform unnecessarily due to external factors (such as gravity, thermal stress, mechanical stress, etc.) during processing or handling. The rigid fixation must have sufficient strength and rigidity to limit various forces and moments that may occur during processing or handling, thereby maintaining stability and accuracy of the workpiece.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the light-emitting body 10 further comprises an adapter connecting piece 3. The adapter connecting piece 3 is connected to the first circuit structure 1. The light-emitting unit 4 is disposed around the first circuit structure 1 through the adapter connecting piece 3. At least a portion of the first protrusion 11 extends out of an outer side of the adapter connecting piece 3. That is, the first protrusion 11 extends and exceeds a side edge of the adapter connecting piece 3 and is exposed. The light-emitting unit 4 comprises a flexible circuit board and lamp beads 411 disposed on the flexible circuit board. A flexible material of the flexible circuit board enables the light-emitting unit 4 to be bent. Therefore, the light-emitting unit 4 is enabled to be disposed around the first circuit structure 1. In one embodiment, the lamp beads are LED lamp beads.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first circuit structure 1 further comprises a second protrusion 12. At least one side of the adapter connecting piece 3 is clamped between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12. In this way, the adapter connecting piece 3 is conveniently fixed on the first circuit structure 1. In the embodiment, the first circuit structure 1 comprises the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12, and one side of the adapter connecting piece 3 is clamped between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12. That is, the adapter connecting piece 3 is quickly fixed to the first circuit structure 1, front and rear ends of the adapter connecting piece 3 are limited and not easy to separate from the first circuit structure 1, and assembly efficiency is good. The light-emitting unit 4 is uniformly distributed on the adapter connecting piece 3, so light emitted by the light-emitting unit 4 is uniform. It is understood that the first circuit structure 1, as a power connecting piece, is allowed to be connected in series with other first circuit structures 1 to achieve electrical connection. In addition, the first circuit structure 1 comprises the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 to form at least one clamping groove 101. The at least one clamping groove 101 is configured to clamp the light-emitting unit 4, so the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 have various functions. For example, the at least one clamping groove 101 is U-shaped, which is not limited thereto. The first circuit structure 1 is served as a framework to support the power connector 2 when the power connector 2 is plugged into an external power source, so that the power connector 2 is stably plugged into an external power terminal. Further, the first circuit structure 1 clamps the adapter connecting piece 3 to support the adapter connecting piece 3, and the adapter connecting piece 3 evenly supports the light-emitting unit 4.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the adapter connecting piece 3 comprises a deformable piece. The deformable piece is integrally formed. In one embodiment, the adapter connecting piece 3 is of a ring structure and defines a cavity 31 penetrating through two ends of the adapter connecting piece 3. When the adapter connecting piece 3 is compressed, the cavity 31 is shaped into a flat-shaped cavity. When a width of the flat-shaped cavity is roughly equal to a width of the first circuit structure 1, the adapter connecting piece 3 is allowed to be sleeved on the first circuit structure 1. When the adapter connecting piece 3 resets, the at least one side of the adapter connecting piece 3 is clamped between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12. In one embodiment, the adapter connecting piece 3 is clamped in the first circuit structure 1 after elastic deformation and reset. In another embodiment, an inner diameter of the adapter connecting piece 3 after elastic deformation and reset is equal to the width of the first circuit structure 1, which ensures that at least one side of the adapter connecting piece 3 is clamped between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12. In one embodiment, the adapter connecting piece 3 is made of soft plastic, and the adapter connecting piece 3 is a circular cylinder, a square cylinder, or an elliptical cylinder, which is not limited thereto. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 are disposed on a same side of the first circuit structure 1 or on different sides of the first circuit structure 1 (as shown in FIG. 7). Alternatively, first protrusions 11 and second protrusions 12 are disposed on two sides of the first circuit structure 1. Optionally, one first protrusion 11 and one second protrusion 12 are disposed on one side of the first circuit structure 1 for further illustration.
The first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 extend radially along the adapter connecting piece 3 that is cylindrical, so one clamping groove 101 is formed between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 (as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6). The first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 stably clamp and support the at least one side of the adapter connecting piece 3. The first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 are respectively electrically connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the light-emitting unit 4. Since the adapter connecting piece 3 is deformable, the adapter connecting piece 3 is quickly fixed to the first circuit structure 1, which is simple to operate and has high assembly efficiency. It should be noted that the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 are served as fixing positions of two ends of a second circuit structure 41, and the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12 are served as electrical connecting positions of a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the second circuit structure 41. Therefore, there is no need to connect additional wire to the first circuit structure 1, which avoids an accumulation of the additional wire in the adapter connecting piece 3, making the light-emitting body 10 more streamlined and beautiful, and making assembly efficiency higher. In particular, the second circuit structure 41 is flexible and is wound around the adapter connecting piece 3, and the second circuit structure 41 is bonded to the adapter connecting piece 3 by adhesive. Because the adapter connecting piece 3 rigidly supports the second circuit board 41, the second circuit structure 41 is enabled to be fixed on the adapter connecting piece 3, thereby realizing 360-degree luminescence of the light-emitting body 10.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the adapter connecting piece 3 further comprises a first hinge 32 and a second hinge 33, the first hinge 32 and the second hinge 33 are detachably connected, and the first hinge 32 and the second hinge 33 are clamped on the first circuit structure 1. After the first hinge 32 and the second hinge 33 are connected together, at least one side thereof is clamped between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12. A connection method of the first hinge 32 and the second hinge 33 may be, but is not limited to, one or any combination of snap connection, bolt fixation or adhesive fixation.
As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, 6, and 8, in the embodiment, the lamp beads 411 are disposed on the second circuit structure 41. The second circuit structure 41 covers on the outer side of the adapter connecting piece 3, and the second circuit structure 41 is electrically connected to at least one of the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 12. It should be added that the second circuit structure 41 of the embodiment is preferably the flexible circuit board.

It should be noted that when a one-dimensional linear lamp is formed by the light-emitting bodies 10, the light emitted by the one-dimensional linear lamp is continuous and uniform, and a length of the one-dimensional linear lamp is adjusted by adjusting the number of the light-emitting bodies 10. That is, the second circuit structure 41 and the adapter connecting piece 3 of each of the light-emitting bodies 10 exceed the two ends of the first circuit structure 1 of each of the light-emitting bodies 10, thereby half-covering or fully covering the two circular plugs 21 on the first circuit structure 1 of each of the light-emitting bodies 10, so as to achieve a wider range of the light. In addition, when assembling the light-emitting bodies 10, the light-emitting bodies 10 are seamlessly connected to completely hide the circular plugs 21 thereof, so that the one-dimensional linear lamp has good continuity as a whole.

When the power connecting terminal 6 is screwed with the mounting opening 56 of the lampshade 5, the power connecting terminal 6 is electrically connected to the light-emitting body 10 and support the light-emitting body. In one embodiment, one light-emitting body is connected to another light-emitting body through circular plugs 21 thereof, and two light-emitting bodies are connected to the power connecting terminal 6 through the circular plugs 21. After completing a connection thereof, when any one end of the power connecting terminal 6 rotates, in addition to realizing circuit connection and signal connection at a plug-in position, the circular plug 21 connected the any one end of the power connecting terminal is rotated with respect to another circular plug. Therefore, when lamps 30 connected together rotate, the first circuit structures 1 located between two power terminals 6 are not damaged due to the relative rotation of the two power connecting terminals 6 when the power connecting terminals 6 are respectively screwed into the mounting openings 56.
As shown in FIGS. 33-39, in one embodiment, the lampshade 5 comprises threaded holes 51 for being fixedly connected to external devices.

Therefore, when being plugged into a power adapter, a corresponding power connector 2 is hidden to provide power connection protection.
As shown in FIG. 40, two power connectors 2 are respectively disposed at two ends of the light-emitting body. Two mounting openings 56 with internal threads are correspondingly defined on the lampshade 5. Two power connecting terminals 6 are provided. Each of the power connecting terminals 6 comprises external threads matched with the internal threads of any one of the mounting openings 56, so that each of the power connecting terminals 6 is capable of being screwed with any one of the mounting openings 56.
During assembly, a first one of the power connectors 2 disposed on the first end of the light-emitting body is first partially plugged into a first one of the power connecting terminals 6.
