Abstract

An assemble mechanism of LED lamp and a disassembling method, the assemble mechanism of LED lamp includes strip houses, covers, and coupling assembly. The coupling assembly includes a plug, and a socket. The plug includes a plug-body, and a T-shaped head. The T-shaped head includes a straight bar, and a horizontal bar. The straight bar provides two wedge structures on two side walls respectively. The socket includes a socket body, and a T-shaped cavity configured for receiving the T-shaped head. The T-shaped cavity provides two catches on the two inner side walls, the two catches is configured for clamping the two wedge structures. As long as the plug of the coupling assembly is engaged with the socket, and the wedge structure is clamping into the catch, which makes interconnection of the two LED lamps simple and convenient, and helps to reduce the installation time.

Claims (12)

1. An assemble mechanism of LED lamp, comprising:

at least two strip houses ( 10 ), each of the strip houses ( 10 ) having a U-shaped groove ( 101 ) and two slots ( 102 ) opened two side walls thereof respectively;

at least two covers ( 20 ), the two covers ( 20 ) being arranged onto the two strip houses ( 10 ) respectively, each of the covers ( 20 ) comprising two bar-typed pins ( 201 ), the two bar-typed pins ( 201 ) being inserted into the two slots ( 102 ) respectively; and

at least one coupling assembly ( 30 ), the coupling assembly ( 30 ) being configured for connecting two strip houses ( 10 ) together, the coupling assembly ( 30 ) comprising a plug ( 31 ) disposed at one end of one of the strip houses ( 10 ) and a socket ( 32 ) disposed at the other end of the strip houses ( 10 ) and connected to the plug ( 31 ), the plug ( 31 ) comprising a plug-body ( 311 ) fixed on the strip houses ( 10 ), and a T-shaped head ( 312 ) extending from the plug-body ( 311 ), the T-shaped head ( 312 ) comprising a straight bar ( 313 ) connected to the plug-body ( 311 ), a horizontal bar ( 314 ) extending from the side walls of the straight bar ( 313 ), and two wedge structures ( 315 ) provided on two side walls of the straight bar ( 313 ) respectively, the socket ( 32 ) comprising a socket body ( 321 ) fixed on the strip houses ( 10 ), and a T-shaped cavity ( 322 ) extending from the socket body ( 10 ) configured for receiving the T-shaped head ( 312 ), and two catches ( 323 ) provided on two inner side walls of the T-shaped cavity ( 322 ) respectively and configured for clamping the wedge structures ( 315 ).

2. The assemble mechanism of LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the T-shaped cavity ( 322 ) comprises two socket slots ( 324 ) provided respectively on two side walls thereof, the two socket slots ( 324 ) are configured for engaging with the two bar-typed pins ( 201 ) of the cover ( 20 ), respectively.

3. The assemble mechanism of LED lamp as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cover ( 20 ), which is inserted in the socket slot ( 324 ), is a cover which is arranged on the strip house ( 10 ) on which the plug ( 31 ) is located.

4. The assemble mechanism of LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupling assembly ( 30 ) is made of plastic.

5. The assemble mechanism of LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two steps ( 316 ) are formed between the wedge structure ( 315 ) and the straight bar ( 313 ), the two catches ( 323 ) are engaged on the two steps ( 316 ) respectively.

6. A disassembling method of the assemble mechanism of LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 comprising the following steps:

pushing the cover ( 20 ), which is inserted into the socket slot ( 324 ) of the socket ( 32 ) of one of the LED lamp, toward the plug ( 31 ) of the other LED lamp so that the cover ( 20 ) is disengaged from the socket slot ( 324 );

rotating the LED lamp having the plug ( 31 ) with one of the wedge structures ( 315 ) as a center so that another wedge structure ( 315 ) on the other side of the plug ( 31 ) is disengaged from the catch ( 323 ) on the other side of the T-shape cavity ( 322 ) of the socket ( 32 ); and

the wedge structure ( 315 ) on the side of the T-shaped head ( 312 ) of the plug ( 31 ) of the LED lamp being also disengaged from the catch ( 323 ) of the T-shaped cavity ( 322 ) on the side of the socket ( 32 ) of the other LED lamp.
