These examples are for the purpose of clearly and concisely disclosing the present invention, and those skilled in the art can understand the scope of the present invention from these examples.

  1 and 2 are a perspective view and an exploded perspective view of a lamp tube connector unit according to the present invention, and the present invention relates to a lamp tube connector unit which automatically shuts off when removed, and the lamp tube connector unit 1 is assembled The cover 2, the reset switch 7, the torsional elastic member 12 and the housing 13 are included.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, two first through holes 3 in which copper pins 16 are respectively penetrated and second through holes 4 in which pressing unit 17 is penetrated are provided in assembly cover 2, and A rotary connection 5 is formed.

  With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the reset switch 7 includes a rotary connection member 8 provided to rotate on the rotary connection portion 5, a plurality of fixing portions 10 to which the conductive pieces 25 are respectively attached, and a pressing unit 17. A detachable engagement member 11 is provided.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the torsion resilient member 12 is mounted between the rotary connection 5 and the rotary connection member 8 so that the reset switch can be reset automatically.

  With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the housing 13 engages with the assembly cover 2 so as to form a housing space 15 in which the reset switch 7, the torsion elastic member 12 and the conductive piece 25 are housed.

  The pressing unit 17 described above includes the on / off pressing member 18, the first elastic member 19, the first end pin 20, the second end pin 21, and the second elastic member 24. The on / off pressing member 18 is provided so as to protrude from the second through hole 4 and is connected and fixed to the first tip pin 20.

  The first elastic member 19 is provided on the first end pin 20. The second distal end pin 21 defines a contact surface 22 on which the first distal end pin 20 and the first elastic member 19 abut, and is attached to the housing 13. Further, the second elastic member 24 is provided so as to cover the second tip pin 21.

  The second tip pin 21 is attached to the attachment portion 14 formed in the housing 13. In addition, a position control stopper 23 is further extended to the second front end pin 21.

  The position restricting portion 9 extending to the rotary connection member 8 abuts on the position restricting stop portion 23 to restrict rotation of the reset switch 7.

  Here, the position restricting portion 9 on the rotary connection member 8 is located on the same plane while being adjacent to the engagement member 11. Besides, in each of the conductive pieces 25, an abutting surface 26 in contact with the copper pin 16 is defined. A plurality of tenons 6 engageable with the housing 13 extend in the assembly cover 2.

  Fig. 3 showing the internal structure before pressing the on-off pressing member, Fig. 4 showing the plane position when turning on the LED light tube by turning the reset switch, and Fig. 4 showing the internal structure at pressing the on-off pressing member Please refer to FIG.

  When the LED lamp tube is attached, the on-off pressing member 18 is pressed inward, and the on-off pressing member 18 and the first elastic member 19 abut on the contact surface 22, and the second tip pin 21 and the second elastic member 24 is moved toward the housing 13 (in the direction of the arrow).

  At the beginning of the movement of the pressing unit 17 as a whole, the position restricting stopper 23 located on the second tip pin 21 abuts on the position restricting portion 9 on the rotary connection member 8.

  However, with the movement of the second front end pin 21, the position regulation abutment portion 23 and the position regulation portion 9 are displaced, and the contact is released, so that the reset switch 7 becomes rotatable.

  When the reset switch 7 is turned, the engagement member 11 engages with the first tip pin 20 because the first tip pin 20 is moved inward. Further, the contact surface 22 abuts on the engagement member 11 in response to the elastic recovery of the second elastic member 24.

  The contact surface 26 of each conductive piece 25 comes into contact with the copper pin 16 while the engaging member 11 locks the first end pin 20, thereby achieving a conduction effect. At this time, the first elastic member 19, the second elastic member 24 and the torsional elastic member 12 are treated in the crimped state.

  Reference is made to FIG. 6 which shows a flat position when the reset switch is reset when the LED light tube is removed.

  When removing the LED lamp tube, the on-off pressing member 18 of the lamp tube connector unit 1 is released from the pressure of the first elastic member 19 and the second elastic member 24 so that the on-off pressing member 18 recovers to its original position. Do.

  In addition, the first end pin 20 and the second end pin 21 are also restored to their original positions. And, when the torsional elastic member 12 releases the pressure, the reset switch 7 is automatically restored to the original position.

  As the on-off pressing member 18 moves, the engaging member 11 separates from the first tip pin 20, and the contact surface 26 of the conductive piece 25 separates from the copper pin 16 and is cut off. An effect is achieved.

  Further, the position restricting portion 9 on the rotary connection member 8 restricts the rotation of the reset switch 7 by coming into contact with the position restricting stop portion 23 again.

  From the above, replacement from the conventional fluorescent lamp to the LED lamp tube becomes easier, the amount of work is reduced, and the risk of electric shock can be effectively avoided.
