Abstract

An interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting includes a plug mechanism and a socket mechanism. The plug mechanism includes a hollow socket, a plug, and a connection pin. The hollow socket includes a hollow plug barrel, a stop ring, a wedge importing ring, and at least one opening. A slope of the wedge importing ring extends toward a free end of the hollow plug barrel. The connection pin includes at least one plug locating ring, at least one socket locating ring, and at least one socket locating bar. The plug locating ring is arranged between the stop ring and the wedge importing ring for fixing the relative position of the connection pin and the hollow socket. The socket mechanism includes a hollow socket barrel, and a locating slot. The socket locating bar is engaged with the locating slot so as to fix the relative position of the connection pin and the hollow socket barrel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting, comprising:
a plug mechanism, the plug mechanism comprising a hollow socket, a plug received in the hollow socket, and a connection pin disposed on the hollow socket, the hollow socket comprising a hollow plug barrel, a stop ring disposed on an outer side wall of the hollow plug barrel, a wedge importing ring disposed on the outer side wall of the hollow plug barrel and spaced apart from the stop ring, and at least one opening opened on the hollow plug barrel, a slope of the wedge importing ring extending toward a free end of the hollow plug barrel, the connection pin comprising at least one plug locating ring, at least one socket locating ring connected to the plug locating ring, and at least one socket locating bar disposed on an inner side wall of the socket locating ring, the plug locating ring being arranged between the stop ring and the wedge importing ring for fixing the relative position of the connection pin and the hollow socket, an inner diameter of the socket locating ring being equal to that of the hollow plug barrel; and
a socket mechanism, the socket mechanism comprising a hollow socket barrel, and a locating slot provided on the hollow socket barrel, an outer diameter of the hollow socket barrel being equal to an inner diameter of the hollow plug barrel, the socket locating bar being engaged with the locating slot so as to fix the relative position of the connection pin and the hollow socket barrel.

2. The interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a cross-section shape of the socket locating bar is triangle, a cross-section shape of the locating slot is triangle.

3. The interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a chamfer is provided an inner wall of one side of the plug locating ring.

4. The interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of the plug locating ring is equal to an outer diameter of the hollow plug barrel.

5. The interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hollow socket further comprises a plug flange disposed on one end of the hollow plug barrel, at least two screw holes are provided on the plug flange.

6. The interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the interconnection mechanism further comprises a first limit plate, the first limit plate is disposed on a free side of the plug flange.

7. The interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the socket mechanism further comprises a socket flange disposed on one end of the hollow socket barrel, at least two screw holes are provided on the socket flange.

8. The interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the interconnection mechanism further comprises a second limit plate, the second limit plate is mounted on a free side of the socket flange.

9. The interconnection mechanism for LED bar lighting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the socket locating ring of the connection pin has same axial length with the opening of the hollow plug barrel.
