Abstract

A lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing includes a hollow tube body and a cap body. The cap body covers the opening of the hollow tube body. The inner surface of the cap body has a plurality of ring-shaped protrusion portions arranged to be parallel with each other. The glue is distributed over the inner surface of the cap body and the protrusion portions can prevent the glue from overflowing. The outer surface of the hollow tube body contacts the protrusion portions. The protrusion portions inside the cap body can avoid that the glue overflows from the gap between the cap body and the hollow tube body in order to improve tightness. Thus, the contact area between the glue and the inner wall of the cap body can increase, so the cap body and the hollow tube body can be firmly fixed with each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing, comprising a hollow tube body and a cap body covering an opening of the hollow tube body, wherein an inner surface of the cap body is provided with a plurality of protrusion portions, and the protrusion portions are ring-shaped and arranged to be parallel with each other, wherein a glue is distributed over the inner surface of the cap body and the protrusion portions are configured to prevent the glue from overflowing, and an outer surface of the hollow tube body contacts the protrusion portions, wherein the protrusion portions include a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion, and the first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion are circular and cross-sections of the first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion are conical.

2. The lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion portions include a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion, wherein there is a first area between the first protrusion portion and a bottom of an inner space of the cap body, there is a second area between the first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion, and there is a third area between an opening of the cap body and the second protrusion portion.

3. The lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing as claimed in claim 2 , wherein there is a first distance between the first protrusion portion and the bottom of the inner space of the cap body, there is a second distance between the second protrusion portion and the first protrusion portion, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.

4. The lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing as claimed in claim 3 , wherein there is a third distance between the opening of the cap body and the second protrusion portion, and the third distance is greater than the second distance.

5. The lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the rough surface is distributed over the first area and the second area.

6. The lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion portions are adjacent to an opening of the cap body.

7. The lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the inner surface of the cap body is provided with a rough surface and the glue adheres to the rough surface.

8. The lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an inner wall of the lamp cap is provided with a plurality of ribs and the outer surface of the hollow tube body contacts the ribs.

9. The lamp tube structure capable of preventing glue from overflowing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an inner wall of the lamp cap is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks and an outer wall of the opening of the hollow tube body contacts the positioning blocks.
