Abstract

The present invention discloses a Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure and a forming process therefor. A lamp core is stably mounted so that a good pull-out prevention effect can be achieved, and the forming process is simple so that automatic production can be realized. A technical scheme consists in that the Christmas lamp includes: a lamp holder, a lamp core and a lamp shell. The lamp holder is connected to the lamp shell, and the lamp core passes through the lamp holder and is located in the lamp shell. The Christmas lamp further includes a fixing ferrule. The lamp holder is internally provided with a resilient clamping sleeve for radially clamping the lamp core, and the fixing ferrule is provided over the resilient clamping sleeve. When the lamp holder is mounted and connected to the lamp shell, the fixing ferrule is axially abutted between the lamp holder and the lamp shell, and the fixing ferrule radially locks the resilient clamping sleeve, such that the resilient clamping sleeve locks the lamp core. The present invention is applicable to the technical field of decorative lamps.

Claims (28)

1. A Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure, which Christmas lamp comprises: a lamp holder ( 1 ), a lamp core ( 2 ) and a lamp shell ( 3 ), the lamp holder ( 1 ) being connected to the lamp shell ( 3 ), the lamp core ( 2 ) passing through the lamp holder ( 1 ) and being located in the lamp shell ( 3 ), the Christmas lamp further comprising:

a fixing ferrule ( 4 ),

wherein the lamp holder ( 1 ) is internally provided with a resilient clamping sleeve ( 5 ) for radially clamping the lamp core ( 2 ), and the fixing ferrule ( 4 ) is provided over the resilient clamping sleeve ( 5 ); and

when the lamp holder ( 1 ) is mounted and connected to the lamp shell ( 3 ), the fixing ferrule ( 4 ) is axially abutted between the lamp holder ( 1 ) and the lamp shell ( 3 ), and the fixing ferrule ( 4 ) radially locks the resilient clamping sleeve ( 5 ).

2. The Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure of claim 1 , wherein the lamp core ( 2 ) comprises:

a luminous body ( 6 ) provided with two lead wires led out from the luminous body ( 6 );

power lines ( 7 ), the power lines ( 7 ) being connected to the lead wires;

a core stem ( 8 ), wire grooves ( 9 ) being provided in a side wall of the core stem ( 8 ), and connected ends of the lead wires and the power lines ( 7 ) being embedded into the wire grooves ( 9 ); and

a heat shrinkable tube ( 10 ), the heat shrinkable tube ( 10 ) being provided over an outer wall of the core stem ( 8 ),

wherein an outer diameter of the luminous body ( 6 ) is greater than an outer diameter of the core stem ( 8 ).

3. The Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure of claim 2 , wherein the lead wires are fixed to the power lines ( 7 ) by means of welding.

4. The Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure of claim 1 , wherein the fixing ferrule comprises:

a shrinkage section ( 11 );

an expansion section ( 12 ); and

a positioning ring ( 13 ),

wherein the shrinkage section ( 11 ) is located at one end of the expansion section ( 12 ), and the positioning ring ( 13 ) is located at the other end of the expansion section ( 12 ).

5. The Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure of claim 4 , wherein the positioning ring ( 13 ) is provided with a notch ( 14 ).

6. The Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure of claim 1 , wherein the lamp holder ( 1 ) is in threaded connection with the lamp shell ( 3 ).

7. The Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure of claim 1 , wherein the lamp holder ( 1 ) is provided with a hanger ( 15 ).

8. A forming process applicable to the Christmas lamp with a lamp core pull-out prevention structure of claim 2 , comprising:

a first step of preparing a lamp holder ( 1 ) and a lamp shell ( 3 );

a second step of assembling a lamp core ( 2 ); and

a third step of assembling the Christmas lamp: passing the lamp core ( 2 ) through a resilient clamping sleeve ( 5 ) on the lamp holder ( 1 ), retaining an end portion of the resilient clamping sleeve ( 5 ) at the connection between a core stem ( 8 ) and a luminous body ( 6 ), then sleeving a fixing ferrule ( 4 ) over the resilient clamping sleeve ( 5 ), and finally screwing the lamp shell ( 3 ),

wherein in the second step, the specific sub-steps of assembling the lamp core ( 2 ) comprise:

S1. fixing two lead wires of the luminous body ( 6 ) to power lines ( 7 ) by means of welding;

S2. mounting a core stem ( 8 ) between the two lead wires, such that the connections between the W/O lead wires and the power lines ( 7 ) are embedded into wire grooves ( 9 ) of the core stem ( 8 );

S3. sleeving a heat shrinkable tube ( 10 ) over the core stem ( 8 ), the length of the heat shrinkable tube ( 10 ) being greater than that of the core stem ( 8 ); and

S4. blowing hot air over the heat shrinkable tube ( 10 ), such that the heat shrinkable tube ( 10 ) shrinks and clads the core stein ( 8 ), while one end of the heat shrinkable tube ( 10 ) partially clads the luminous body ( 6 ) and the other end of the heat shrinkable tube ( 10 ) partially clads the power lines ( 7 ).
