The present disclosure relates to a technical field of lighting equipment, and in particular to a lighting device.
Lighting devices are able to provide soft ambient light effects and are often used for interior decoration, home lighting, commercial space decoration, etc.
In the prior art, the lighting devices are commonly connected to sockets through a plug thereof to provide power to a light source thereof, which is inconvenient for mounting and use of the lighting devices.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a lighting device that is allowed to be used in different scenarios, which improves convenience and diversity of using the lighting device, facilitates a control of turning on and off a light source thereof, and is simple to use.
The present disclosure provides a lighting device. The lighting device comprises a lighting assembly and a power control assembly.
The lighting assembly comprises a first wire, a second wire, and a light source. The light source is electrically connected to the first wire and the second wire.
The power control assembly comprises a housing, a first power supply, a conductive structure, and an insulating piece. The first power supply is disposed in the housing. The insulating piece is disposed between the first power supply and the conductive structure. The insulating piece partially extends out of the housing. The insulating piece is capable of switching between an isolation position and a released position under driving of an external force. The first wire is electrically connected to the first power supply. The second wire is electrically connected to the conductive structure. When the insulating piece is located at the released position, the conductive structure and the first power supply are in contact with each other to form a closed circuit. When the insulating piece is located at the isolation position, the conductive structure and the first power supply are not in contact with each other, and the closed circuit is not formed.
In the present disclosure, the insulating piece is designed to be movable so that the insulating piece is capable of being switched between the isolation position and the released position. When the insulating piece is in the isolation position, the insulating piece isolates the first power supply and the conductive structure, which effectively prevents accidental electric shock or short circuit and improves safety of the lighting device.
Moreover, since the insulating piece blocks contact between the first power supply and the conductive structure when the insulating piece is in the isolation position, a possibility of accidental contact between the first power supply and the conductive structure or circuit failure caused by external factors (such as dust, moisture, etc.) is reduced, and reliability of the lighting device is enhanced. When the insulating piece is in the released position, the conductive structure is connected to the first power supply, so that the closed circuit is formed. In addition, the insulating piece itself is not worn or oxidized due to flow of current, thereby maintaining stability and long-term reliability of the closed circuit.

As shown in
In the lighting device 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the insulating piece 240 is designed to be movable so that the insulating piece 240 is capable of being switched between the isolation position and the released position. When the insulating piece 240 is in the isolation position, the insulating piece 240 isolates the first power supply 220 and the conductive structure 230, which effectively prevents accidental electric shock or short circuit and improves safety of the lighting device 10.
Moreover, since the insulating piece 240 blocks contact between the first power supply 220 and the conductive structure 230 when the insulating piece 240 is in the isolation position, a possibility of accidental contact between the first power supply 220 and the conductive structure 230 or circuit failure caused by external factors (such as dust, moisture, etc.) is reduced, and reliability of the lighting device 10 is enhanced. When the insulating piece 240 is in the released position, the conductive structure 230 is connected to the first power supply, so that the closed circuit is formed. In addition, the insulating piece 240 itself is not worn or oxidized due to flow of current, thereby maintaining stability and long-term reliability of the closed circuit.
In some embodiments, as shown in
The conical spring can provide a larger spring travel and load capacity in a limited space, and the conical spring also has uniform spring characteristics. That is, the relationship between the load and the deflection of the conical spring is relatively stable within the entire spring travel range.
It should be noted that the first conductive piece 231 may be fixed to the second wire 120 by welding, and when the first conductive piece 231 is the conductive spring, the first conductive piece 231 is be formed by bending the first wire 231. Namely, the first conductive piece 231 and the first wire 231 are integrally formed. In the present disclosure, the first conductive piece 231 has a tendency to approach the first power supply 220, so that when the insulating piece 240 is in the released position, the first conductive piece 231 moves toward the first power supply 220 and connects to the first power supply 220. Of course, in some other embodiments, the lighting device 10 comprises a reset spring, and two opposite sides of the reset spring respectively abut against the housing 210 and the first power supply 220, so that the first power supply 220 has a tendency to move toward the first conductive piece 231.

The first shell 211 and the second shell 212 are made from materials such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), etc. The first shell 211 and the second shell 212 are detachably connected by snapping, clamping, screwing, etc., which is not limited thereto.
In some embodiments, the second shell 212 comprises a second protruding limiting portion 216 disposed in the mounting cavity 210A. The second protruding limiting portion 216 and the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 210A jointly enclose a second accommodating groove 210C facing the conductive structure 230. The conductive structure 230 is mounted in the second accommodating groove 210C. The second protruding limiting portion defines second notches 2161.
In this way, it is convenient to mount the conductive structure 230. Optionally, a shape of the second accommodating groove 210C is matched with a shape of the second power supply 232, so as to facilitate mounting of the second power supply 232. The second notches 2161 facilitate the second wire 120 to extend into the second accommodating groove 210C and being electrically connected to the conductive structure 230. In the embodiment, the first power supply 220 and the second power supply 232 are disposed side by side in the vertical direction.
In some other embodiments, the first power supply 220 and the second power supply 232 are disposed side by side in the horizontal direction. In the embodiments, in order to facilitate mounting of the first power supply 220 and the second power supply 232, the second protruding limiting portion 216 is disposed on the first shell 211. That is, the first accommodating groove 210B and the second accommodating groove 210C are defined in the first shell 211. Therefore, mounting forms of the first power supply 220 and the second power supply 232 in the housing 210 are not specifically limited thereto.
In some embodiments, the second shell 212 comprises an assembling portion 2121 and a flipping portion 2122 connected to assembling portion 2121.

Of course, the first limiting structures 217 may be buckles, and the second limiting structures 218 may be buckling grooves. The first limiting structures 217 and the second limiting structures 218 improves connection stability of the first shell 211 and the second shell 212 while realizing a detachable connection of the first shell 211 and the second shell 212. The present disclosure does not limit structures of the first limiting structures 217 and the second limiting structures 218.
Third limiting structures 219 are disposed on the first shell 211 and/or the second shell 212. The third limiting structures 219 are configured to fix the first wire 110 and the second wire 120. In this way, the first wire 110 and the second wire 120 are stable in position in the housing 210, avoiding poor circuit contact or disconnection due to looseness or displacement of the first wire 110 and/or the second wire 120. Moreover, the first wire 110 and the second wire 120 are fixed by the third limiting structures 219, which effectively protects the first wire 110 and the second wire 120 from physical damage such as vibration, impact or tension in the external environment.
