Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a lamp socket connector, a lighting device and a lighting system. The lamp socket connector includes a docking portion. The docking portion includes a docking port for docking a light source module, a docking channel extending from the docking port, and at least two socket terminals in the docking channel.

Claims (42)

1. A lamp socket connector, comprising: a docking portion, wherein the docking portion comprises:

a docking port for docking a light source module;

a docking channel extending from the docking port;

at least two socket terminals in the docking channel;

a baseplate in the docking channel and a plurality of partition boards on the baseplate; and

mounting cavities formed between adjacent partition boards,

wherein the at least two socket terminals are mounted into the mounting cavities.

2. The lamp socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein the docking portion is fabricated in accordance with specification E14.

3. The lamp socket connector according to claim 2 , wherein the at least two socket terminals comprise peripheral terminals on a circumference.

4. The lamp socket connector according to claim 3 , wherein the at least two socket terminals further comprise a central terminal, and the central terminal is located at a center of the circumference where the peripheral terminals are located.

5. The lamp socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein a through hole is on a region, which is between adjacent partition boards, of the baseplate.

6. The lamp socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein the docking portion comprises a baffle within the docking channel, and wherein the baffle covers the socket terminals and comprises plug sockets aligned with the socket terminals.

7. The lamp socket connector according to claim 6 , wherein the baffle is parallel to the baseplate, and the baffle is perpendicular to an extension direction of the docking channel.

8. The lamp socket connector according to claim 6 , wherein the plug sockets comprise arcuate holes aligned with the peripheral terminals and a round hole aligned with the central terminal.

9. The lamp socket connector according to claim 6 , wherein:

a flange is on a periphery of the baffle;

a groove is on an inner wall of the docking channel; and

the flange is clamped in the groove.

10. The lamp socket connector according to claim 4 , wherein each of the peripheral terminals comprises a first portion and a second portion which are opposite to each other, and a third portion and a fourth portion which are opposite to each other; and wherein:

the third portion is connected with the first portion and the second portion;

the fourth portion is connected with the first portion and second portion;

the first portion, the second portion, the third portion and the fourth portion form a wire receiving cavity;

an edge of the first portion is elastically connected with a fifth portion; and

the fifth portion is configured to extend into the wire receiving cavity and abut against the second portion.

11. The lamp socket connector according to claim 10 , wherein the first portion is further elastically connected with a sixth portion; and wherein:

the sixth portion is configured to extend away from the wire receiving cavity; and

the sixth portion and the fifth portion are respectively on two sides of the first portion.

12. The lamp socket connector according to claim 11 , wherein the fifth portion and the sixth portion are integrally formed.

13. The lamp socket connector according to claim 10 , wherein:

the third portion extends beyond the wire receiving cavity;

a seventh portion and an eighth portion that are opposite to each other are provided in a region, which exceeds beyond the wire receiving cavity, of the third portion; and

a pin clamping cavity is formed between the seventh portion and the eighth portion.

14. The lamp socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein an inner wall of the docking channel is provided thereon with a foolproof portion.

15. The lamp socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein the docking portion further comprises a base port that faces away from the docking port; and the lamp socket connector further comprises a base mounted to the base port.

16. The lamp socket connector according to claim 15 , wherein the base is provided with a screw-threaded hole that allows a wire to pass through.

17. The lamp socket connector according to claim 15 , wherein the base is provided with a snap hook protruding toward the docking portion, an outer wall of the docking portion is provided with a clamp slot; and the snap hook and the clamp slot are snap-fitted.

18. A lighting device, comprising:

a lamp socket connector that comprises a docking portion, wherein the docking portion comprises: a docking port for docking a light source module; a docking channel extending from the docking port; at least two socket terminals in the docking channel; a baseplate in the docking channel and a plurality of partition boards on the baseplate; and mounting cavities formed between adjacent partition boards, wherein the at least two socket terminals are mounted into the mounting cavities; and

a light source module, wherein the light source module is mounted to the docking port of the lamp socket connector; the light source module comprises a light-emitting unit and at least two pins electrically connected with the light-emitting unit; and the pins are plugged into the socket terminals; and wherein the light-emitting unit is a WRGB light-emitting unit, and the light source module comprises five pins which are connected with a positive electrode, a pin of a W component, a pin of an R component, a pin of a G component and a pin of a B component of the WRGB light-emitting unit.

19. A lighting system, comprising:

a lighting device, wherein the lighting device comprises: a lamp socket connector that comprises a docking portion, wherein the docking portion comprises: a docking port for docking a light source module; a docking channel extending from the docking port; at least two socket terminals in the docking channel; a baseplate in the docking channel and a plurality of partition boards on the baseplate; and mounting cavities formed between adjacent partition boards, wherein the at least two socket terminals are mounted into the mounting cavities; and a light source module, wherein the light source module is mounted to the docking port of the lamp socket connector; the light source module comprises a light-emitting unit and at least two pins electrically connected with the light-emitting unit; and the pins are plugged into the socket terminals; and

a mounting pedestal that is fixed to a preset mounting region, wherein the lamp socket connector in the lighting device is mounted to the mounting pedestal.
