Sometimes, adjacent lamp shells are connected together by using a screw, and the splicing process is complicated.
As shown in
Each of the splicing member 10 includes a main body 11, a first side body 12, and a second side body 13, wherein the first side body 12 and the second side body 13 are connected to and distributed on two opposite sides of the main body 11 respectively. A first snap-fit part 121 is provided in the first side body 12. A second snap-fit part 131 is provided in the second side body 13. The splicing member 10 has specific elasticity. For example, the splicing member 10 may be a metal sheet. The main body 11, the first side body 12, and the second side body 13 may be integrally formed, or the main body 11, the first side body 12, and the second side body 13 may be welded and connected together.
The first snap-fit part 121 of the first splicing member 10 and the second snap-fit part 131 of the second splicing member 10 are in snap-fit connection. The second snap-fit part 131 of the first splicing member 10 and the first snap-fit part 121 of the second splicing member 10 are in snap-fit connection. That is, the first snap-fit part 121 of one splicing member 10 and the second snap-fit part 131 of the adjacent splicing member 10 are in snap-fit connection. Therefore, the adjacent splicing members 10 are spliced together. After the splicing member 10 is mounted at an end of the housing 20, the adjacent splicing members 10 are spliced together, so that the two adjacent housings 20 are spliced together.
In the example, the splicing member 10 is simple in structure and convenient to be spliced. The two splicing members 10 are opposite in placement direction and are connected to the adjacent housings 20 respectively, and then the two splicing members 10 are spliced, so that the two adjacent housings 20 can be rapidly spliced together. In the example, when the housings 20 are connected, the splicing members 10 with a same structure are used, so that design cost can be reduced.
As shown in
As shown in
In the example, the splicing members 10 have specific elasticity, so that the first snap-fit part 121 and the second snap-fit part 131 can more easily achieve snap-fit connection. In addition, the limiting effect of the side plate 25 prevents the first side body 12 from moving outward due to elasticity.
As shown in
As shown in
In the example, the first side body 12 and the second side body 13 of the linear lamp both extend in the length direction of the housing 20, the length of the first side body 12 is larger, and the second side body 13 may be disposed directly facing the middle of the first side body 12. As shown in
A through-hole 122 is provided on the first side body 12, the first snap-fit part 121 is disposed adjacent to the through-hole 122, and an edge of the first snap-fit part 121 forms a side wall of the through-hole 122. The first snap-fit part 121 is formed by partially recessing the first side body 12 toward the second side body 13, which is beneficial to reduce the number of components and parts. The first snap-fit part 121 protrudes out of an inner side surface of the first side body 12. The inner side surface of the first side body 12 is a surface facing toward the second side body 13.
As shown in
The second snap-fit part 131 is formed by partially recessing the second side body 13 away from the first side body 12, which is beneficial to reduce the number of components and parts. The second snap-fit part 131 protrudes out of an outer side surface of the second side body 13. The outer side surface of the second side body 13 is a surface facing away from the first side body 12. The second snap-fit part 131 extends from an end face of the second side body 13 to the other end of the second side body 13, a groove 1311 is provided on the second snap-fit part 131, and the groove 1311 extends from an end face of the second side body 13 to the other end of the second side body 13. A second guide part 132 bent toward the first side body 12 is provided at the other end of the second side body 13, thereby improving splicing smoothness of the two splicing members 10.
As shown in
A protruding height of the second snap-fit part 131 is less than a depth of the through-hole 122, that is, the depth of the through-hole 122 is larger, so that the second snap-fit part 131 cannot extend out of an outer surface of the first side body 12, the first side body 12 is attached to the slot bottom of the slot 23, occupied space is saved, and it can be ensured that the slot bottom of the slot 23 can limit the first side body 12. The outer surface of the first side body 12 is a surface of the first side body 12 facing away from the second side body 13. The slot bottom of the slot 23 is a side wall of the housing 20 located in the slot 23.
Because the first side body 12 has specific elasticity and a larger length, and a reinforcing rib 125 is provided on the first side body 12 and are used to increase insertion reliability of the first side body 12 and the slot 23. The reinforcing rib 125 may extend in the length direction of the first side body 12.
As shown in
In the example, the linear lamp further includes a connector 30 and a photoelectric module 40, where the number of the photoelectric module 40 is at least two, the photoelectric module 40 is mounted in the housing 20 by using the connector 30, and the two adjacent photoelectric modules 40 are electrically spliced together. As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The housing 20 has an open end opposite to the bottom plate 24. The connector 30 is inserted into the first mounting space 21 from the open end. As shown in
The photoelectric module 40 and the connector 30 are in snap-fit connection, so that the photoelectric module 40 is convenient to be mounted. The photoelectric module 40 comprises a snap-fit body 41, a hook 321 is formed on an inner side wall of the connector 30, and the snap-fit body 41 and the hook 321 are in snap-fit connection. The hook 321 comprises a slope 3211 for the photoelectric module 40 to be conveniently inserted into the accommodating cavity 31.
The side arm 32 of the connector 30 is an elastic arm in snap-fit connection with the photoelectric module 40. As shown in
In the example, the adjacent housings 20 are spliced together first, and then the photoelectric module 40 is mounted in the first mounting space 21 of the housing 20. In this case, the photoelectric module 40 may be moved in a length direction of the photoelectric module 40 until the opening 421 is aligned with the side arm 32, so that the side arms 32 can be pushed through the opening 421.
The lining plate 42 may be a reflector. As shown in
As shown in
Provided that the second side body 13 is located between the side arm 32 of the connector 30 and the inner side wall of the housing 20, an avoiding space also needs to be provided on the second side body 13, so that the photoelectric module 40 can be conveniently detached.
