Description

Description
A CONNECTOR AND A METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A LIGHTING SYSTEM USING THE SAME
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a connector. In addition, the present invention further relates to a method for assembling a lighting system using the same.
Background Art
In the backlight light chain, many modules are usually electrically connected together in series. Respective lighting modules of the light chain, such as PCB board of the LED module, are connected to each other by electrical wires, wherein, the electrical wires are soldered onto the PCB boards, respectively. However, since there are break points between the electrical wires, there is inevitably quite high voltage drop from one LED module to another LED module. This voltage drop leads to the energy waste and higher requirement to the power source so as to achieve the objective of consistent light emitting efficiency for each lighting module as much as possible. Moreover, each electrical wire should be manually soldered onto each PCB board. Such manual operation needs a long time and the quality of the product cannot be ensured.
In order to avoid occurrence of too high voltage drop, another solution is also disclosed in the prior art. In this solution, the PCB boards of all the LED modules are electrically connected in series with a common electrical wire, and each PCB board is electrically connected to the electrical wire by soldering. Since only a unique electrical wire is used, there is no break point on the electrical wire, and a low voltage drop from one LED module to another LED module is maintained. However, since the PCB boards also should be manually soldered onto the electrical wire, the operation also needs a long time and the quality of the product likewise cannot be ensured. Summary of the Invention
Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to provide a connector. With application of this type of connector, the lighting modules can be connected to a common electrical wire without cutting off the electrical wire, which greatly reduces the voltage drop from one lighting module to another lighting module and simplifies the fabricating process.
The objective of the present invention is accomplished by a connector for a lighting module. The connector comprises: a base pad electrically connected to the PCB board of the lighting module, and at least one pair of brackets extending upwardly from the base pad. The first pair of brackets in the at least one pair of brackets is designed to be capable of cutting off the insulation layer of the electrical wire when the electrical wire is pressed between the two brackets so as to form the electrical conductive connection with the electrical wire. When the lighting module is connected to the electrical wire by the connector, the connector merely cuts off the insulation layer of the common electrical wire without cutting off the whole electrical wire. Thereby, there will be no break point on the common electrical wire, which greatly reduces the voltage drop from one lighting module to anther lighting module. Moreover, the reliable electrical connection can be formed by simply pressing the electrical wire into the connector, then, the assembling procedure is greatly simplified and the assembling difficulty is reduced.
According to a preferred solution of the present invention, an elongated opening is formed between the first pair of brackets in the directions where the first pair of brackets extend upwardly, and an open cutter end in a V shape is formed at the free ends of the first pair of brackets so as to cut off the insulation layer of the electrical wire. When the electrical wire is pressed towards the connector, the electrical wire is more easily accommodated by the cutter end in the V shape, and the sharp cutter end can more easily cut off the insulation layer. When the electrical wire is further pressed downwardly, the core of the electrical wire is held in the elongated opening to form the electrical connection between the connector and the core of the electrical wire.
According to a preferred solution of the present invention, the width of the elongated opening gradually gets wider from the upper end portion to the lower end portion, and the width at the lower end portion is smaller than the width of the core of the electrical wire such that the core can be tightly held at the lower end portion of the opening to further ensure reliable electrical connection.
In a preferred solution of the present invention, the middle portions of each of the second pair of brackets in the at least one pair of brackets approach each other, and the free ends thereof keep away from each other, therefore, the electrical wire is held under the middle portions by the middle portions that approach each other. The second pair of brackets is capable of reliably preventing the electrical wire from escaping from the connector so as to ensure the reliable electrical connection between the electrical wire and the connector.
According to a preferred solution of the present invention, the connector according to the present invention has two groups of the first pair of brackets. The two groups of the first pair of brackets cut off the insulation layer of the electrical wire, respectively, to contact the core, such that the reliability of the electrical connection with the electrical wire is further enhanced.
It is provided according to the present invention that both sides of the second pair of brackets are provided with one group of the first pair of brackets, respectively. The second pair of brackets is located between the two groups of the first pair of brackets, so that the electrical wire can be well held just by one group of the second pair of brackets to prevent the electrical wire from escaping from between the two groups of the second pair of brackets. Preferably, the connector is fabricated in one piece, which decreases the number of parts to a large extent and reduces the fabricating costs.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a lighting system. The lighting system includes a plurality of lighting modules and a common electrical wire. Each of the lighting modules is connected to its corresponding connector as described above, and the common electrical wire is connected to its corresponding connector so as to connect the lighting modules together in series. Since there is no break point on the common electrical wire in this lighting system, the voltage drop between the lighting modules is relatively low.
The last objective of the present invention is to provide a method for assembling a lighting system. The method includes the following steps: a) providing a plurality of connectors, each connector comprising a base pad and at least one pair of brackets extending upwardly from the base pad; b) connecting the base pad of each connector to PCB board of each lighting module at the back side; c) pressing a common electrical wire into a first pair of brackets of each connector, the first pair of brackets cutting off the insulation layer of the common electrical wire to form respective electrical conductive connection with the common electrical wire; and d) encapsulating each of the lighting modules. In the assembling method according to the present invention, there is no need to cut off the common electrical wire, and the voltage drop from one lighting module to anther lighting module is low. Moreover, with the assembling method in the present invention, the process for assembling the lighting system is much easier. According to a preferred solution of the present invention, in step b) the connector and the PCB board of the lighting module are soldered together by a surface mounting method, which ensures the reliability of the electrical connection between the connector and the PCB board to a large extent and also simplifies the fabricating procedure. It should be understood that the general descriptions above and the detailed descriptions below are illustrative, and aim at providing further understanding to the claimed invention.

In the drawings, the same element is represented by the same reference sign, wherein
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the connector according to the present invention; Figure 2 is a side view of the connector according to the present invention; and Figure 3 is a scheme of a lighting system. Detailed Description of the Embodiments
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the connector 1 according to the present invention. From the figure it can be seen that the connector 1 has a base pad 2, and two groups of first pair of brackets 4a extending upwardly from the base pad 2 on two opposite edges of the pad 2. In the directions where the first pair of brackets 4a extends upwardly, an elongated opening 6 is firstly formed therebetween, and an open cutter end 7 in a V shape is formed at the free ends of the first pair of brackets 4a so as to cut off the insulation layer of the electrical wire 5. From the figure it can be seen that the core of the electrical wire 5 is in a close contact with the side walls of the opening 6 so as to form the electrical connection. In addition, it can be seen from Figure 1 that in the middle of the base pad 2, one group of the second pair of brackets 4b likewise extends upwardly from the base pad 2, wherein, the two groups of the first pair of brackets 4a are provided at both sides of the second pair of brackets 4b, respectively.
Moreover, from Figure 1 it can be seen that a second pair of brackets 4b likewise extending upwardly from the base pad 2 is further arranged between the two groups of the first pair of brackets 4a. The middle portions of respective brackets of the second pair of brackets 4b approach each other, and the free ends thereof keep away from each other, so that the electrical wire 5 is held under the middle portions by the middle portions that approach each other.
Figure 2 is a side view of the connector according to the present invention. From Figure 2 the structure of the first pair of brackets 4a can be seen clearly. As seen from the figure, the two brackets of the first pair of brackets 4a have an elongated opening 6 therebetween. The width of the opening 6 gets wider from the upper end portion to the lower end portion gradually, and the width W at the lower end portion is smaller than the width of the core of the electrical wire 5 such that the core can be tightly held at the lower end portion of the opening to ensure reliable electrical connection.
Figure 3 is a scheme of a lighting system. From the figure it can be seen that the lighting system includes a plurality of lighting modules (LED modules). These lighting modules comprise the PCB board 3, the connector 1 electrically connected to the PCB board 3 and the common electrical wire 5, respectively. The connector of each lighting module is connected with the common electrical wire 5 without cutting off the common electrical wire 5. Thereby, the lighting modules are connected in series by the common electrical wire to construct the lighting system.
The above is merely preferred embodiments of the present invention but not to limit the present invention. For the person skilled in the art, the present invention may have various alterations and changes. Any alterations, equivalent substitutions, improvements, within the spirit and principle of the present invention, should be covered in the protection scope of the present invention.
