Description
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to decorative lightings, and more particularly to a copper wire light and a method for making the same.
BACKGROUND Chinese Patent No. 209926077 U discloses a copper wire string light, which includes a power connector, a string of copper wire lights, and a protection box arranged at a connection between the power connector and the string of copper wire lights. The string of copper wire lights includes a conducting wire and a plurality of light-emitting assemblies. Each light-emitting assembly includes a front light emitting diode (LED) light, a rear LED light and a plurality of LED lights therebetween. Two adjacent light-emitting assemblies are electrically connected by connecting a front LED light of one light-emitting assembly and a rear LED light of the other light-emitting assembly. A front LED light of a light-emitting assembly close to the power connector is electrically connected to a positive pole of the power connector. An end of the conducting wire is electrically connected to a negative pole of the power connector, and the other end of the conducting wire is electrically connected to a rear LED light of a light-emitting assembly away from the power connector.
During the manufacture of the copper wire string light mentioned above, the plurality of light-emitting assemblies are connected in series, and in the series connection, a positive pole of a front LED light of a light-emitting assembly is connected to a negative pole of a rear LED light of an adjacent light-emitting assembly. However, during such operation, misconnections are easily made by the workers, which greatly influences the production efficiency of the copper wire string light.
SUMMARY According to what was mentioned above, a first object of the present application is to provide a copper wire light, which involves convenient manufacturing and high manufacturing efficiency.
The technical solutions of the present invention are shown as follows.
A copper wire light comprises a main wire and a branch wire. The main wire comprises a first wire, a second wire, at least one first light-emitting assembly and at least one second light-emitting assembly. A plurality of first cuts are formed on the first wire; a plurality of second cuts are formed on the second wire; and the first cuts are misaligned with the second cuts; a plurality of installation areas are formed between the first wire and the second wire by the first cuts together with the second cuts; the at least one first light-emitting assembly and the at least one second light-emitting assembly are arranged in the plurality of installation areas in an alternate manner; the at least one first light-emitting assembly is electrically connected to the first wire and the second wire, and the at least one second light-emitting assembly is electrically connected to the first wire and the second wire; and the at least one first light-emitting assembly and the at least one second light-emitting assembly are arranged in a way that their currents flow in opposite directions.
In some embodiments, the at least one first light-emitting assembly and the at least one second light-emitting assembly each comprise at least one light emitting diode which is fixed on the first wire and the second wire by a protective glue.
By such arrangement, the protective glue protects the light emitting diode from being broken. In addition, with the protective glue, the first wire and the second wire are less likely to move away from the light emitting diode, so that the first wire and the second wire are firmly connected to the light emitting diode.
In some embodiments, the at least one light emitting diode is fixed on the branch wire by the protective glue.
By such an arrangement, the branch wire is less likely to move away from the main wire, so positions of the branch wire and the main wire are relatively stable,
and thus the copper wire light has a stable structure.
In some embodiments, the branch wire is spirally wound on the main wire.
By such arrangement, the branch wire is not easily separated from the main wire, so that the copper wire light has a stable structure.
In some embodiments, a protective casing is provided on the first wire and the second wire respectively, and the protective casing on the first wire and the protective casing on the second wire are integrally formed.
By such arrangement, the first wire and the second wire are protected from being damaged. In addition, positions of the first wire and the second wire are fixed, so the copper wire light has a stable structure.
In some embodiments, the protective casing is provided on the branch wire, and the protective casing on the branch wire, the protective casing on the first wire and/or the protective casing on the second wire are integrally formed.
By such an arrangement, positions of the branch wire, the first wire and the second wire are fixed, so the copper wire light has a stable structure.
In some embodiments, two limit seats are symmetrically arranged at both sides of each light emitting diode and wrap the main wire.
With such arrangement, during the glue dispensing for the copper wire light, the slow spread of the unhardened protective glue reduces a thickness of the protective glue after hardening, and thus the light emitting diode cannot be effectively protected. By arranging the two limit seats at both sides of each emitting diode, the spread of the unharden protective glue is limited, so that the hardened protective glue has enough thickness to effectively protect the light emitting diode.
In some embodiments, a plurality of sliding grooves are provided on an end of each limit seat close to the light emitting diode; a limit rod is slidably provided in each sliding groove; a spring is provided in each sliding groove to push the limit rod out of the sliding groove; and a sealing member is arranged at an entrance of the sliding groove to restrict the limiting rod from sliding out of the sliding groove.
By such an arrangement, before the glue dispensing for the light emitting diode, the entrance of the sliding groove is sealed by the sealing member to prevent the limit rod from sliding out of the sliding groove and avoid the influence to the processing of the copper wire light. When it is required to dispense the glue for the light emitting diode, the sealing member is controlled to be ineffective to slide the limit rod out of the sliding groove. During the glue dispensing, the limit rod protruding from the sliding groove can limit the spread of the protective glue at high temperature, so that the hardened protective glue is thick enough to effectively protect the light emitting diode.
In some embodiments, the sealing member comprises a sealing membrane, and when the sealing membrane contacts the protective glue at high temperature, the sealing membrane melts into the protective glue at high temperature.
By such arrangement, during the glue dispensing for the light emitting diode, the sealing membrane is melted after it contacts the protective glue at high temperature, so as to unseal the entrance of the sliding groove, whereby the limit rod extends from the sliding grove under the action of the spring to limit the spread of the protective glue at high temperature. In this way, there is no need to remove the sealing member before the glue dispensing, so the processing of the copper wire light is faster and more efficient, which largely improves the yield of the copper wire light.
A second object of the present application is to provide a method for making the copper wire light mentioned above, which has the high manufacturing efficiency.
The technical solutions of the present invention are shown as follows.
A method for making the copper wire light mentioned above, comprising: a) winding, by a winding machine, the first wire and the second wire on a winding fixture from its one end to the other end at an interval; b) cutting, by a laser cutting machine, the first wire and the second wire to respectively form the plurality of first cuts and the plurality of second cuts thereon; and the first cuts are misaligned with the second cuts; c) removing insulation from the first wire and the second wire on the winding fixture; d) applying a solder paste on the first wire and the second wire;
e) arranging, by a chip mounter, the light emitting diodes in the installation areas between the first wire and the second wire; f) soldering, by a reflow soldering machine, the light emitting diodes to the first wire and the second wire respectively; 5 g) dispensing a liquid epoxy resin AB glue at high temperature for the copper wire light; and h) drying the copper wire light in an oven. By the method mentioned above, workers do not need to recognize electrodes of the light, connect the light by reversing it and perform the soldering manually, which reduces the misoperation and improves the production efficiency and yield of the copper wire light.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS The embodiments of the present disclosure will be further illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the technical solutions of the present application become more understandable. Embodiment 1 As shown in Figs. 1-2, a copper wire light includes a main wire 2 and a branch wire 1 connected to the main wire 2. An end of the main wire 2 away from the branch wire 1 is electrically connected to a positive pole of a power source, and an end of the branch wire 1 away from the main wire 2 is electrically connected to a negative pole of the power source. The branch wire 1 is spirally wound on the main wire 2. The main wire 2 includes, arranged in parallel, a first wire 21, a second wire 22, at least one first light-emitting assembly 23 and at least one second light-emitting assembly 24. At least one copper wire is provided inside the first wire 21, and the copper wire can be twisted with multiple copper wires. A plurality of first cuts 3 spaced apart are formed on the first wire 21. At least one copper wire is provided inside the second wire 22, and the copper wire can be twisted with multiple copper wires. A plurality of second cuts 4 spaced apart are formed on the second wire 22. The first cuts 3 are misaligned with the second cuts 4. A plurality of installation areas 5 are formed between the first wire 21 and the second wire 22 by the first cuts 3 together with the second cuts 4. The at least one first light-emitting assembly 23 and the at least one second light-emitting assembly 24 are arranged in the plurality of installation areas 5 in an alternate manner. Both of the at least one first light-emitting assembly 23 and the at least one second light-emitting assembly 24 are electrically connected to the first wire 21 and the second wire 22. The at least one first light-emitting assembly 23 and the at least one second light-emitting assembly 24 each include at least one light emitting diode. The difference between the at least one light emitting diode of the at least one first light-emitting assembly 23 and the at least one light emitting diode of the at least one second light-emitting assembly 24 is that their currents flow in opposite directions. Each light emitting diode is provide with a protective glue 6 to protect the light emitting diode from being broken. In addition, each light emitting diode is fixed on the first wire 21 and the second wire 22 by the protective glue 6, so that the first wire 21 and the second wire 22 hardly separate from the light emitting diode. When the at least one first light-emitting assembly 23 and the at least one second light-emitting assembly 24 are energized, their maximum angle of light emission is 360°. Embodiment 2 As shown in FIG. 3, Embodiment 2 differs from Embodiment 1 in that the main circuit 2 and the branch wire 1 are arranged in parallel, and each light emitting diode is fixed on the branch wire 1 by the protective glue 6, so that the branch wire 1 hardly moves away from the main wire 2.
Embodiment 3 As shown in FIG. 4, Embodiment 3 differs from Embodiment 1 in that a protective casing 7 is provided on the first wire 21 to protect the first wire from being damaged, and the protective casing 7 is also provided on the second wire 22 to protect the second wire 22 from being damaged. The protective casing 7 on the first wire 21 and the protective casing 7 on the second wire 22 are integrally formed to prevent the separation of the first wire 21 and the second wire 22. Embodiment 4 As shown in FIG. 5, Embodiment 5 differs from Embodiment 3 in that the man circuit 2 and the branch wire 1 are arranged in parallel. In addition, the protective casing 7 is also provided on the branch wire 1, and the protective casing 7 on the branch wire 1, the protective casing 7 on the first wire 21 and/or the protective casing 7 on the second wire 22 are integrally formed.
Embodiment 5 As shown in FIG. 6, Embodiment 6 differs from Embodiment 5 in that the protective glue 6 on the light emitting diode warps a side of the branch wire 1 opposite to the light emitting diode.
Embodiment 6 As shown in Figs. 7-8, Embodiment 6 differs from Embodiment 1 in that two limit seats 8 are symmetrically arranged at both sides of each light emitting diode and wrap an end of the main wire 2 close to the light emitting diode. Each limit seat 8 is of a truncated cone structure, and an outer diameter of each limit seat 8 gradually increases toward the light emitting diode. A plurality of sliding grooves 9 circumferentially spaced apart are provided on an end of the limit seat 8 close to the light emitting diode. The sliding groove 9 is of an arc structure, and a center of the sliding groove 9 is located a side of an axis of the limit seat 8. A limit rod 10 is slidably provided in each sliding groove 9. The limit rod 10 is slidable out from the sliding groove 9 to limit the spread of the protective glue 6 at high temperature. The limit rod 10 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 9 and is of an arc structure to ensure a thickness of the protective glue 6 among the limit rods 10, so that the light emitting diode is effectively protected. A spring 11 is provided in each sliding groove
9. The spring 11 is in compression when the limit rod 10 is collected inside the sliding groove 9, and the compressed spring 11 pushes the limit rod 10 and gives the limit rod 10 a tendency to slide out of the sliding groove 9. A sealing member 12 is arranged at an entrance of the sliding groove 9. The sealing member 12 includes a sealing membrane which is made of a material same as that of the protective glue
6. When the sealing membrane contacts the protective glue 6 at high temperature,
the sealing membrane melts into the protective glue 6 at high temperature.
Embodiment 7 As shown in FIG. 9, Embodiment 7 differs from Embodiment 1 in that, each first light-emitting assembly 23 is provided with at least one light emitting diode in which the current flows in a forward direction and at least one light emitting diode in which the current flows in a backward direction, which are arranged in an alternate manner.
Each second light-emitting assembly 24 is provided with at least one light emitting diode in which the current flows in a backward direction and at least one light emitting diode in which the current flows in a forward direction, which are arranged in an alternate manner.
In this way, the copper wire light can still work even if there is a misoperation during the assembly of the copper wire light.
