In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

Referring to fig. 1 to 31, a lamp tube power connector apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to be disposed at an end of a lamp tube, and includes: the lamp tube comprises a lamp tube connector 12, a main body 11, two side connectors 13 and an electric connection assembly for transmitting electricity to the lamp tube, wherein the lamp tube connector 12 is used for being connected with a lamp tube seat so that the lamp tube is fixed on the lamp tube seat; the tube connector 12 is longitudinally provided at one longitudinal end of the main body 11, and two side connectors 13 are transversely provided at side portions of the main body 11. The electrical connection assembly is electrically connected to at least one side contact 13 to transmit electricity to the lamp body 2 of the lamp.

The lamp tube power-taking connector device can be used in a mode that when the electric connecting assembly is electrically connected with the two side connectors 13, one side connector 13 can be used as an input connector to transmit power to the lamp tube and the other side connector 13, and the other side connector 13 is used as an output connector. Understandably, the use of both side connectors 13 as input connectors is not excluded.

The lamp tube connector 12 is used for being connected with the lamp tube connector 12 connected with the lamp tube seat, and plays a role in fixing the lamp tube without being electrically connected with the lamp tube seat, and the lamp tube does not need to take electricity through the lamp tube connector 12. After the lamp is mounted on the lamp base, an external circuit may be connected to the side connector 13 that delivers power to the lamp to achieve power extraction from the lamp.

When two or more lamps are connected, an external circuit is connected to one of the side connectors 13 of the initial lamp, and adjacent two lamps are electrically connected through the side connectors 13, so that the lamps are connected to each other through the side connectors 13 to transmit power, thereby implementing all lamp channels. Wherein, for the initial and middle lamps, the electrical connection components are electrically connected with the two side connectors 13; for the last lamp, the electrical connection component can be electrically connected to only one of the side connectors 13 (since the other side connector 13 does not need to be electrically connected to the other lamp), or can be electrically connected to both side connectors 13, and in this case, the unconnected side connector 13 can be covered with a cover.

Since the lamp is powered through the side connector 13, the lamp connector 12 only fixes the lamp to the lamp holder, so that the plug-in part 121 does not need to be connected to the internal circuit of the lamp and does not need to be powered on.

It should be understood that the specification of the tube connector 12 is not necessarily G13, but may be other specifications, and when the tube connector 12 is applied to different tubes, the appropriate specification is used. The designation G in the lamp connection specification indicates that the base has two or more pins. The latter numbers indicate the distance between the centers of two pins in mm, and if more than two pins, the diameter of the circumference in which the center of each pin is located.

The lamp tube connector 12 can be connected with the main body 11 in a manner of rotating around a longitudinal axis, so that the lamp tube can rotate relative to the lamp tube seat, the scheduling of the lamp tube is adjusted, and the lamp tube connector can be applied to lamp tubes which emit light on a single face, two faces and multiple faces, and can realize the lighting requirements in different directions.

Preferably, the tube connector 12 further includes a circumferential positioning mechanism 1231 disposed between the tube connector base 122 and the body 11 for positioning the rotation of the tube connector 12, so that the tube can be accurately positioned at various angles during the rotation.

For example, in the embodiment of fig. 1-11, the lamp tube connector base 122 of the lamp tube power connector apparatus 1 is fixedly connected to the rotary buckle 123 through the threaded connector 125, the rotary positioning cylinder 111 is disposed on one end of the main body 11, the main body 11 is hollow, and the other end is open, the center of the rotary positioning cylinder 111 is communicated with the cavity of the main body 11, so that the buckling boss 1111 is formed on the inner side of the connecting position of the rotary positioning cylinder 111 and the main body 11; the rotating sleeve 123 is sleeved outside the rotating positioning cylinder 111, so that the rotating sleeve 123 is limited on the rotating positioning cylinder 111 of the main body 11; a rotating shaft 1242 of the rotating platform 124 is inserted into the rotating positioning cylinder 111, a buckle is arranged at the tail end of the rotating shaft 1242 and limited on the buckle position boss 1111 of the main body 11 through a buckle, and the rotating platform 124 and the rotating sleeve 123 are fixedly connected in the circumferential direction through insertion; the tube connector 12 can be rotated 360 degrees.

In addition, the lamp tube power-taking connector device 1 includes two side connectors 13, but is not limited to two side connectors 13, and there may be more side connectors 13 to meet the requirements of different lamp tube connections, and all are within the protection scope of this patent.

Both side connectors 13 may be male connectors, or both side connectors 13 may be female connectors, or one side connector 13 may be a male connector and the other side connector 13 may be a female connector. For example, in the embodiment of FIGS. 7-9, one side connector 13 is a male connector and the other side connector 13 is a female connector; for example, in the embodiment of fig. 10-11, both side connectors 13 are male connectors.

In other words, the side connector 13 (male) may be converted into a female connector by the conversion connector 14, and the side connector 13 (female) may be converted into a male connector by the conversion connector 14, as required. For example, a female connector is often used as an output connector to meet the relevant safety regulation requirements; when both side connectors 13 are male connectors, one of the male connectors can be converted into a female connector by the conversion connector 14 to be used as an output connector.

The adapter 14 can be connected to the side connector 13 through a rotating buckle 140, the rotating buckle 140 includes a rotating buckle slot 142 disposed at the outer side of the side connector 13 and a rotating cylinder 141 rotatably sleeved at the outer side of the end of the adapter 14, the inner side of the rotating cylinder 141 is matched with the rotating buckle slot 142, and when the adapter 14 is inserted into the side connector 13, the rotating cylinder 141 is rotated, and the inner side of the rotating cylinder 141 is locked with the rotating buckle slot 142.
