Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application. Furthermore, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating exemplary embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the use of directional terms such as "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" generally refer to upper, lower, left and right in the actual use or operation of the device, and specifically to the orientation of the drawing figures.

Furthermore, the terms "first", "second" and "first" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

The present application provides an electrical connector and a lighting device, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the following description of the embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In the following embodiments, the descriptions of the respective embodiments have respective emphasis, and reference may be made to related descriptions of other embodiments for parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an electrical connector 100, where the electrical connector 100 includes an insulating body 110, an electrical connector 120, and a conductive member 130.

Wherein the insulative body 110 is a structural foundation that carries other components, which generally form the overall shape and profile of the electrical connector 100. For example, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the insulation body 110 covers the outer side of the electrical connector 120. As another example, referring to fig. 3, in other embodiments, the insulation main body 110 has a receiving space 111 therein, and the receiving space 111 is used for disposing other components of the electrical connector 100, such as for receiving the electrical connector 120.

Here, the insulating body 110 has a first end 112 and a second end 113, and the first end 112 and the second end 113 may be opposite in a first direction X. Generally, the first direction X may be a longitudinal direction of the insulation body 110, and the insulation body 110 extends longitudinally from the first end 112 to the second end 113.

Furthermore, the insulating body 110 further has a side portion 114 located between the first end 112 and the second end 113, the side portion 114 being arranged around a line parallel to the first direction X. An electrical connection port 115 is formed at the side portion 114, the electrical connection port 115 is used for connecting components inside and outside the insulating body 110, and the electrical connection port 115 is mainly used for connecting the conductive member 130 and the electrical connector 120. Referring to fig. 1, two electrical connection ports 115 are oppositely disposed on the side portion 114 of the insulating main body 110, and the two electrical connection ports 115 are oppositely disposed in a second direction Y, which may be disposed at an angle with respect to the first direction X, for example, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

The electrical connector 120 is disposed on the insulating body 110, and the electrical connector is used for connecting an external device. Illustratively, the electrical connector 120 has electrical connection ports (see the first electrical connection port 123 and the second electrical connection port 124 in fig. 1, which will be described later). It is to be understood that the electrical connection port is a structure for connecting with an external device and implementing an electrical switching function, and may be a DC interface, a USB interface, a Type-c interface, or the like, which is not limited by the embodiment. Meanwhile, an electrical connection terminal 330 corresponding to the electrical connection port is provided on the external device (see fig. 5). Illustratively, the electrical connection port is a female connection end, and the electrical connection end 330 on the external device is correspondingly a male connection end that can be connected into the female connection end to make an electrical connection. Alternatively, in other examples, the electrical connection port may be a male connection end, and the electrical connection end 330 on the external device may be a female connection end, and they may be matched to realize electrical connection.

It will be appreciated that, in general, the electrical connection ports of embodiments of the present application are either both male connection interfaces or both female connection interfaces. This is because, for a particular external device, its electrical connection end 330 is typically constant to be one of a male connection end and a female connection end. In order to achieve the technical effect of the present application in which the electrical connection port is connected with the electrical connection end 330 of the external device, the electrical connection port should be the other one of the male connection end and the female connection end in conformity with the arrangement of the connection ends. That is, when the electrical connection end 330 of the external device is constantly a male connection end, the electrical connection ports are both female connection interfaces. When the electrical connection end 330 of the external device is constantly a female connection end, the electrical connection ports are all male connection interfaces.

Here, the electrical connection port has an accessing direction, which is a moving direction when the electrical connection end 330 of the external device is connected into the electrical connection port, and generally, the accessing direction is an orientation of the electrical connection port. Illustratively, the electrical connection port is a plug interface, and an external device can be electrically connected with the plug interface after being plugged into the plug interface along the access direction. Further, the electrical connection port is an interface having threads, that is, the outer surface or the inner surface of the electrical connection port is provided with threads, and here, the threads may also be provided on the insulation body 110, which is not limited in this embodiment. In this case, an external component is screwed onto the screw interface and rotates, during which the external component engages into the screw interface along the engagement direction to produce an electrical connection.

In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the electrical connectors 120 is two, so that in practical use, the electrical connector 100 can connect two external devices, which is more convenient for users to use compared to the prior art electrical connection plug structure that can only connect one external device. When connecting two external devices, only one electrical connector 100 is needed, and compared with the prior art in which a plurality of electrical connection plugs are used to connect the external devices, the electrical connector 100 provided by the present application also has the advantages of compact structure and small occupied space.

In addition, in a relatively narrow usage scenario, there may not be enough space for disposing the plurality of electrical connection ports in the same direction, or the electrical connection ports disposed on the same side may not facilitate connection of external devices, and mutual interference may occur between the plurality of external devices. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the electrical connection ports of the electrical connectors 120 are disposed in opposite directions, that is, the electrical connector 100 is disposed in the opposite direction. Further, space can be used more efficiently and a compact design can be achieved.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the electrical connection members 120 include a first electrical connection member 121 and a second electrical connection member 122, where the first electrical connection member 121 and the second electrical connection member 122 form an integrated structure to be connected in series with each other. Illustratively, the integral structure includes a positive connection member 125 and a negative connection member 126, and the positive connection member 125 and the negative connection member 126 are both disposed to extend along a direction from the first end 112 to the second end 113, i.e., along the first direction X. Here, the positive connecting part 125 is a conductive pin, and the negative connecting part 126 is a conductive ring, both of which may be made of copper or other conductive materials. The conductive pins are arranged on the circumferential inner side of the conductive ring, and an opening 1261 is formed in the side surface of the conductive ring for the wiring to be connected to the conductive pins. The sides of the positive and

negative connection members

125 and 126 adjacent to the first end 112 form the first electrical connector 121, the sides of the positive and

negative connection members

125 and 126 adjacent to the second end 113 form the second electrical connector 122, and the positive and

negative connection members

125 and 126 are connected to the two electrical connection ports 115, such that the electrical connection between the positive and

negative connection members

125 and 126 is performed when the conductive member 130 is connected to the electrical connection ports 115.

Of course, it can be understood that, in other embodiments, the first connector 121 and the second connector 122 may also be two components, the first electrical connector 121 is disposed at the first end 112 of the insulating main body 110, the second electrical connector 122 is disposed at the second end 113 of the insulating main body 110, and the first connector 121 and the second connector 122 are connected in series or in parallel with each other, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 2 in some embodiments, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the first connection element 121 and the second connection element 122 are two elements having a positive connection element 125 and a negative connection element 126, respectively, and the first connection element 121 and the second connection element 122 are connected in parallel with each other.

Further illustratively, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, as mentioned above, the accommodating space 111 of the insulating body 110 specifically includes a first space 1111 near the first end 112 and a second space 1112 near the second end 113. The first electrical connector 121 is disposed in the first space 1111, that is, the first electrical connector is located near the first end 112 of the insulation body. Here, it is understood that in fig. 3 and 5, the first electrical connection member 121 and the second electrical connection member 122 may be connected in series or in parallel, and therefore, a specific connection relationship between the two is not shown in the drawings. The electrical connection interface includes a first electrical connection port 123 and a second electrical connection port 124, the first electrical connection port 123 being disposed on the first electrical connector 121, the second electrical connection port 124 being disposed on the second electrical connector 122. Here, a side of the first space 1111 facing the first end 112 has an opening to expose the first electrical connection interface 123, and the connection direction A1 of the first electrical connection interface 123 is a direction pointing from the first end 112 to the second end 113. The second electrical connector 122 is disposed in the second space 1112, that is, the second electrical connector 122 is located near the second end 113 of the insulating body. And a side of the second space 1112 facing the second end 113 has an opening to expose the second electrical connection interface 124, and the access direction A2 of the second electrical connection interface 124 is a direction pointing from the second end 113 to the first end 112. The access direction A1 of the first electrical connection interface 123 and the access direction A2 of the second electrical connection interface 124 are both parallel to the first direction X, and an included angle between the two directions is 180 °.

It can be seen that in the three examples shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the first electrical connector 121 is located at the first end 112 of the insulating body 110, the second electrical connector 122 is located at the second end 113 of the insulating body 110, and when two external devices are respectively matched to the first electrical connector 121 and the second electrical connector 122, a user can move the two external devices along the directions A1 and A2 opposite to each other by 180 ° to complete the docking with the electrical connector 100. Exemplarily, two external devices, a first light source 310 and a second light source 320, are shown in fig. 7. For the first light source 310, when assembling, the user can move the first light source 310 along the access direction A1 to connect the first light source 310 to the first electrical connection interface 123. Specifically, in the illustration, the connection direction A1 refers to a moving direction of the first light source 310 moving from top to bottom to achieve the matching connection with the first electrical connection interface 123. For the second light source 320, during assembly, the user can move the second light source 320 along the access direction A2 to cooperatively connect the second light source 320 to the second electrical connection interface 124. Specifically, in the illustration, the connection direction A2 refers to a moving direction of the second light source 320 from bottom to top to achieve the matching connection with the second electrical connection interface 124. Here, when the first light source 310 and the second light source 320 are assembled, the first light source and the second light source are not easily interfered with each other, so that a user can conveniently operate and install the first light source and the second light source. Meanwhile, the first light source 310 and the second light source 320 face to opposite sides, so that a better lighting effect can be achieved.

As mentioned above, referring to fig. 1, the electrical connector 100 further includes a conductive member 130, the conductive member 130 is disposed on the insulating body 110 and connected to the electrical connector 120 to supply power to the electrical connector 120, and further, the electrical connector 120 can supply power to an external device connected thereto. Typically, the conductive member 130 is a wire, and it is understood that the wire typically includes an insulator and a conductive body, the insulator is wrapped outside the conductive body to form an outer contour of the conductive member 130, and the insulator typically has a certain hardness. Of course, in other embodiments, the conductive member 130 may also be a conductive sheet, etc., and only the electrical connection between the power source and the electrical connector 120 is required, which is not limited in this embodiment. In addition, it can be understood that the conductive device 130 is used for realizing connection with a power supply, and therefore, it further has a connection portion for connecting to the power supply, which is well known to those skilled in the art, and the detailed description of this embodiment is omitted.

For example, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 4, the conductive member 130 includes a positive connection line 131 and a negative connection line 132, but it is understood that, in other embodiments, the positive connection line 131 may be replaced by another conductive positive connection portion such as a metal member, and the negative connection line 132 may be replaced by another conductive negative connection portion such as a metal member, which is not limited in this embodiment. The positive connection line 131 and the negative connection line 132 pass through the insulation body 110 along a second direction Y, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. Of course, in other embodiments, the first direction X and the second direction Y may also form an included angle with other angles, and only need to be non-parallel.

Correspondingly, the electrical connector 120 has a positive connection 125 and a negative connection 126, as described above. Taking the example shown in fig. 1 as an example, the first electrical connector 121 and the second electrical connector 122 form an integral structure, and both share one set of the positive connection member 125 and the negative connection member 126. The positive connection wire 131 is connected to the positive connection member 125, for example, a section of the conductor of the positive connection wire 131 is wound around the positive connection member 125 to achieve electrical conduction, or a section of the conductor of the positive connection wire 131 is soldered to the positive connection member 125 to form electrical conduction, and the like, and the connection manner of the two is not particularly limited in this embodiment. Similarly, the negative connection line 132 is connected to the negative connection member 126.

Unlike the example shown in fig. 1, in the example shown in fig. 2, the first electric connector 121 and the second electric connector 122 are of a split type structure, and both have the positive connection member 125 and the negative connection member 126, respectively. The positive connection line 131 is connected to the two positive connection members 125, the negative connection line 132 is connected to the two negative connection members 126, and the first electrical connector 121 and the second electrical connector 122 are connected in parallel by the electrical conductor 130.

As shown in fig. 1 to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the first electrical connection members 121 and the second electrical connection members 122 are located on two opposite sides along the first direction X, and the conductive members 130 are arranged along the second direction Y and are connected to the first electrical connection members 121 and the second electrical connection members 122 in advance. Compared with the existing scheme of connecting the plug, the embodiment of the application can realize the connection between the first electrical connector 121 and the second electrical connector 122 at different positions on the electrical connector 100 without bending the conductive member 130 too much when in use, so that the conductive member 130 is not prone to be defective, the service life of the conductive member 130 is prolonged, and the use effect of the conductive member 130 is improved.

Here, the electrical connector 100 is applied to a lighting device 300, and accordingly, embodiments of the present application correspondingly provide a lighting device 300, where the lighting device 300 includes a lighting unit including a first light source 310, a second light source 320, and the electrical connector 100.

A plurality of lighting units are arranged on the carrier 340, each lighting unit comprises a first light source 310 and a second light source 320 which are oppositely arranged, the first light source 310 is connected to the first electric connector 121 of the lighting unit, and the second light source 320 is connected to the second electric connector 122 of the lighting unit. Moreover, the carrier 340 is hollow to form a receiving cavity (not shown) for receiving the electrical connector 120.

In this embodiment, the first light source 310 and the second light source 320 are each a lamp cup, and the electrical connection end 330 is connected to the lamp cup by welding or other methods. Of course, in other embodiments, the first light source 310 and the second light source 320 may be bulb lamps, candle lamps, or other structures having a light emitting function, and the embodiments are not limited thereto.

For each of the lighting units, referring to fig. 7, the first light source 310 and the second light source 320 face opposite sides along the first direction X, respectively. The first light source 310 is further provided with a first light-transmitting cover 350, and the inner diameter of the first light-transmitting cover 350 is gradually enlarged along a direction away from the first light source 310. The second light source 320 is provided with a second light-transmitting cover 360, and the inner diameter of the second light-transmitting cover 360 is kept constant. Of course, the related examples of the present embodiment are not limited to the above examples, and in other embodiments, the first light-transmitting cover 350 and/or the second light-transmitting cover 360 may not be provided, or the shape and configuration of the first light-transmitting cover 350 and/or the second light-transmitting cover 360 may be different from those of the present example.

Here, in some embodiments, the lighting device 300 includes at least two lighting units, and several lighting units are connected in parallel through the conductive member 130 or other connecting members. It is understood that, in other embodiments, several of the lighting units may be connected in series through the conductive member 130 or other connecting members, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto.
