Description

Technical Field



[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lamps, in particular to a lamp controller socket.

Background



[0002] The controller is installed on the lamp holder of the lamp to control the switching on or switching off of the lamp. The existing controller socket, as shown in FIGs 15-17, comprises a first mounting part 01 and a socket main body 02, a rubber ring 03, a gasket 04 and a nut 05 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, wherein, the socket main body 02 has a first socket part 021 operable to be interlocked with the first mounting part 01, and a second socket part 022 threaded with the nut 05, the first socket part 021 has a plurality of L-shaped first connecting grooves 023 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer wall thereof, the inner wall of the first mounting part 01 is formed with a plurality of first connecting blocks 011 adaptively connected with the corresponding L-shaped first connecting grooves 023, the front end of the first connecting block 011 is provided with a first clamping block 012, and the first connecting groove 023 is formed with a second clamping block 024 for elastically clamping the first clamping block 012; the rubber ring 03 is sleeved on the second socket part 022, and has a first rubber part 031 arranged between the lamp holder 06 and the first mounting part 01 to form a waterproof sealing, and a second rubber part 032 arranged between the lamp holder 06 and the first socket part 021 to form a waterproof sealing. When the controller is assembled, the second socket part 022 is arranged to pass through the through holes on the rubber ring 03 and the lamp holder 06 in sequence, and is threaded with the nut 05 on the lower side of the lamp holder 06, and the first connecting block 011 of the first mounting part 01 is then inserted into the first connecting groove 023 of the first socket part 021 vertically, and rotated at a certain angle, to allow the first connecting block 011 to be interlocked with the first connecting groove 023.

[0003] The drawbacks of the above scheme are: when the tightening force of the nut 05 is too small, the pressing force on the rubber ring 03 is small, which will affect the sealing performance; when the tightening force of the nut 05 is too large, the first socket part 021 will press the second rubber part 032 excessively, to allow the thickness of the second rubber part 032 to become smaller, that is, the separation distance between the first socket part 021 and the lamp holder 06 will become smaller, the thickness of the first rubber part 03 will basically remain unchanged since the first rubber part 031 is not under pressure, and the separation distance between the first mounting part 01 and the lamp holder 06 will be greater than the separation distance between the first socket part 021 and the lamp holder 06, which allows the first mounting part Oldifficult to be screwed into the first socket part 021. In order to ensure that the first connecting block 011 of the first mounting part 01 can be completely inserted into the first connecting groove 023 to achieve a locking connection, the installer needs to press the first mounting part 01 with force to reduce the thickness of the first rubber part 031, only after which, the first mounting part 01 can be assembled with the first socket part 021. This assembly is time-consuming and laborious, which greatly reduces the assembly efficiency.
