Abstract

A shelve system and a label LED strip lamp includes a shelve and a label LED strip lamp. Each of at least one carrier element includes a body, and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a clamping slot and a catch plate provided on the clamping slot. The label LED strip lamp includes a snap assembly for engagement with the catch plate, and a lamp tube. The snap assembly includes a connecting edge, a set of clamping tooth disposed on one side of the connecting edge, and a wavy-shaped engaging edge spaced from the clamping tooth. The clamping tooth inserts into the clamping slot. The lamp tube includes a non-transparent edge, an upper light transmitting edge connecting the non-transparent edge with the catch plate, and a lower light transmitting edge.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shelve system and a label LED strip lamp therefor, comprising:
the shelve system comprising at least one carrier element, each of at least one carrier element comprising a body, and a clamping assembly disposed on the body and configured for assembling the label LED strip lamp;
the clamping assembly comprising a clamping slot disposed on the body, and a catch plate provided on the clamping slot;
the clamping slot comprising a first wall, and a second wall spaced from the first wall, in a cross section taken along an extending direction of the clamping slot, a free end of the first wall being connected to the body, a free end of the second wall being connected to the catch plate, and in the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the clamping slot an angle between the second wall and the catch plate being an acute angle;
the label LED strip lamp comprising a snap assembly for engagement with the catch plate, a lamp tube provided on the snap assembly, in the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the clamping slot;
the snap assembly comprising a connecting edge, a set of clamping tooth disposed on one side of the connecting edge, and a wavy-shaped engaging edge spaced apart from the clamping tooth, a maximum distance between the engaging edge and the clamping tooth being equal to a thickness of the catch plate, the clamping tooth being inserted into the clamping slot in the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the clamping slot;
the lamp tube comprising a non-transparent edge, an upper light transmitting edge connecting the non-transparent edge with the catch plate, and a lower light transmitting edge connecting the non-transparent edge with the catch plate, the upper light transmitting edge being spaced apart from the lower light transmitting edge, and the non-transparent edge having a larger width than the catch plate.

2. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the clamping slot, the upper light transmitting edge comprises an entrance side which faces an inner side of the lamp tube, and a light exit side which faces an outside of the lamp tube, an angle between the entrance side and the carrier element is less than 180 degrees and greater than 90 degrees, an angle between the light exit side and the carrier element is equal to 180 degrees.

3. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the catch plate comprises a hook provided at a free side thereof, the hook is coupled to the wavy-shaped engaging edge.

4. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the clamping slot, the angle between the catch plate and the second wall is less than 15 degrees.

5. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting edge is parallel to the non-transparent edge in the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the clamping slot.

6. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the label LED strip lamp further comprises a label fixing assembly disposed on the lamp tube, and a LED module mounted in the lamp tube, the lamp tube located between the snap assembly and the label fixing assembly.

7. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the snap assembly, the lamp tube, and the label fixing assembly is integrally formed, the lamp tube and the label fixing assembly are injection molded by double-shot molding art.

8. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the label fixing assembly is made of non-transparent material.

9. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the lamp tube further comprises an optical diffusing film, the optical diffusing film is located between the LED module and the upper light transmitting edge.

10. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the label fixing assembly comprises two slots, the two slots are provided on the two sides of the non-transparent edge and space apart from each other, the two slots are arranged along the extending direction of the clamping slot.

11. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the clamping tooth comprises a tooth attachment edge extending from the connecting edge, and at least one tooth disposed on the tooth attachment edge, an angle between an extending direction of the tooth and tooth attachment edge is an acute, an angle between the tooth attachment edge and the connecting edge is equal to the sum of an angle between the catch plate and the second wall and 90 degrees in an extending direction of the tooth attachment edge.

12. The shelve system and the label LED strip lamp as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the clamping tooth comprises two rows of teeth arranged side by side, an arrangement direction of the two rows of teeth is perpendicular to the extending direction of the clamping slot, a length of the tooth near the catch plate is less than that of the tooth which is remote from the catch plate.
