Abstract

A method for connecting direct light bars includes: providing connection wires, each of which has two ends to each of which a copper ring is mounted; providing light bars, each of which includes a wiring board having a first exposed copper zone that has a hole to serve as a circuit connection contact; providing a circuit board that has a second exposed copper zone including a hole to serve as a circuit connection contact; and positioning the two copper rings of each connection wire on the circuit connection contacts of the first and/or second exposed copper zones to be in alignment with the holes so as to allow the two copper rings to be connected to the holes corresponding thereto to establish circuit connection between the copper rings and the corresponding first and/or second exposed copper zones of the circuit board and the wiring boards of the light bars.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for connecting direct light bars, comprising the following steps:
(1) providing a plurality of connection wires, each of which has two ends, including a first end and a second end, to which a first copper ring and a second copper ring are respectively mounted, wherein the first copper ring mounted to the first end comprises a first circular hole and the second copper ring mounted to the second end comprises a second circular hole;
(2) providing a plurality of light bars, each of which comprises a wiring board that comprises a first exposed copper zone that comprises a circular hole to serve as a first circuit connection contact;
(3) providing a circuit board that comprises a second exposed copper zone that comprises a circular hole to serve as a second circuit connection contact; and
(4) positioning the first and second copper rings of each of the connection wires respectively on the circuit connection contacts of the first exposed copper zone and the second exposed copper zone such that the first circular hole is positioned on and in coaxial alignment with the circular hole of the first exposed copper zone and the second circular hole is positioned on and in coaxially alignment with the circular hole of the second exposed copper zone, with a coupling piece received through each of the first circular hole and the circular hole of the circuit board and the second circular hole and the circular hole of the wiring board, respectively, to fix the first circular hole to the circular hole of the circuit board and to fix the second circular hole to the circular hole of the wiring board so as to allow the first and second copper rings to be physically and electrically connected to the first exposed copper zone and the second exposed copper zone to establish circuit connection between the first and second copper rings and the first exposed copper zone and the second exposed copper zone, respectively, such that the circuit board and the wiring boards of the light bars are electrically connected by the connection wires.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupling pieces comprise bolts.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupling pieces comprise pins.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second copper rings are connected to the first and second ends of each of the connection wires through pick-and-place operations.
