Abstract

A lamp cap can include: a metal shell; an insulating base disposed on the metal shell; an elastic connecting mechanism disposed on the insulating base, wherein the elastic connecting mechanism can include a first metal element connected to the insulating base, a second metal element disposed opposite to the first metal element, and a spring disposed between the first metal element and the second metal element and configured for supporting the second metal element and electrically communicating the first metal element and the second metal element, a main part of the second metal element can extend into the metal shell, when the main part of the second metal element is pressed by a threaded portion of a bulb, the spring can be compressed and the second metal element is movable relative to the insulating base.

Claims (14)

1. A lamp cap, comprising:

a metal shell;

an insulating base disposed on the metal shell; and

an elastic connecting mechanism disposed on the insulating base,

wherein the elastic connecting mechanism comprises a first metal element fixedly connected to the insulating base, a second metal element disposed opposite to the first metal element, and a spring disposed between the first metal element and the second metal element and configured for supporting the second metal element and electrically communicating the first metal element and the second metal element, a main part of the second metal element extends into the metal shell, when the main part of the second metal element is pressed by a threaded portion of a bulb, the spring is compressed and the second metal element is movable relative to the insulating base,

the second metal element is a hat-like structure and has a hollow space for accommodating a part of the spring.

2. The lamp cap of claim 1 , wherein the second metal element further comprises an edge part disposed at a periphery of the main part, and an axis of the second metal element and an axis of the metal shell are coincidental.

3. The lamp cap of claim 2 , wherein the insulating base is provided with a limiting element coupled with the edge part of the second metal element for limiting the second metal element to the insulating base.

4. The lamp cap of claim 1 , wherein the main part of the second metal element has a concave surface matching the threaded portion of the bulb.

5. The lamp cap of claim 1 , wherein the first metal element is fixed on a side of the insulating base away from the metal shell by an interference fit manner.

6. The lamp cap of claim 5 , wherein the first metal element comprises a plurality of zigzag structures and the first metal element is fixed on the insulating base by the plurality of zigzag structures.

7. The lamp cap of claim 1 , wherein the first metal element is fastened to a side of the insulating base away from the metal shell by a snap connection manner.

8. The lamp cap of claim 1 , wherein the spring is disposed between the second metal element and the first metal element in a compressed manner and respectively abuts against the second metal element and the first metal element.

9. A lamp holder comprising the lamp cap of claim 1 and a power cord electrically connected to the lamp cap, wherein a live wire of the power cord is connected to the first metal element, and a ground wire of the power cord is connected to the metal shell.
