BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention is related to a light-emitting cell module in which a light-emitting cell such as a light-emitting diode is soldered between two terminals of a base seat. The base seat is latched with a connecting seat to tightly clamp the leads of different polarities in a desired position. The terminals inlaid in the base seat respectively thrust into the leads to electrically connect therewith. After powered on, the light-emitting cell is lighted up.

2. Description of the Prior Art

FIG. 7shows the light-emitting diodes (LED)63of the conventional Christmas light, decoration light, etc. Two pins631,632of the LED63soldered on two leads61,62. When powered on, the LED is lighted up. In manufacturing, the pins of the LED must be laboriously soldered with the leads61,62one by one. It is time-consuming to manufacture the above decoration lights. In addition, the manufacturing cost is relatively high. Moreover, the LED is fixedly soldered on the leads61,62so that the position of the LED cannot be changed as necessary. Also, such decoration light generally has a considerable length. The LED63protruding from the leads tends to be tangled with the leads and torn away.

FIG. 8shows another type of decoration light in which tiny light-emitting diodes64are soldered on a circuit board65by way of surface mount technology (SMT). The leads61,62are soldered between the adjacent circuit boards65, whereby the circuit boards65are serially connected to form a stream of decoration lights. In manufacturing, the leads61,62are interconnected between the circuit boards65so that the manufacturing procedure is complicated. In addition, it takes more time to manufacture the decoration lights and the manufacturing cost is increased. Moreover, in the case that a user forcedly pulls the leads61,62, the leads61,62tend to detach from the circuit boards65. Furthermore, as in the aforesaid decoration light, after manufactured, the intervals between the circuit boards65are fixed. It is impossible for a user to change the distance between two adjacent circuit boards65as necessary.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a light-emitting cell module including: a base seat; multiple terminals respectively inlaid in the base seat, a first end of each terminal being exposed to outer side of a first end of the base seat, a second end of each terminal having a sharp thrust section protruding from a second end of the base seat; a connecting seat latched with the second end of the base seat, the connecting seat and the second end of the base seat together tightly clamping and holding multiple leads of positive electrode and negative electrode, the second ends of the terminals being aligned with the corresponding leads, whereby the thrust sections of the second ends thrust into the leads to electrically connect the terminals with the leads; and a light-emitting cell having two pins which are soldered with the first ends of the terminals of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. After powered on, the light-emitting cell is lighted up.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer toFIGS. 1 to 5. The light-emitting cell module100of the present invention includes: a base seat10; multiple terminals20respectively inlaid in the base seat10, a first end21of each terminal20being exposed to outer side of a first end11of the base seat10, a second end22of each terminal20having a sharp thrust section221protruding from a second end12of the base seat10; a connecting seat30latched with the second end12of the base seat10, the connecting seat30and the second end12of the base seat10together tightly clamping and holding multiple leads40of positive electrode and negative electrode, the second ends22of the terminals20being aligned with the corresponding leads40, whereby the thrust sections221thrust into the leads40to electrically connect the terminals20with the leads40of positive electrode or negative electrode; and a light-emitting cell50such as a light-emitting diode (LED). The two pins51,52of the light-emitting cell50are soldered with the first ends21of the terminals20of the positive electrode and the negative electrode by way of, for example, surface mount technology (SMT). After powered on, the light-emitting cell50is lighted up.

Referring toFIGS. 1,2,3and4, in the light-emitting cell module100of the present invention, the second end12of the base seat10is recessed to form one or multiple lead channels121in which the leads40are accommodated. Two sides of the base seat10are formed with latch hooks13, while two sides of the connecting seat30are formed with latch lugs31each having a latch hole311. The latch hooks13of the base seat10are correspondingly latched in the latch holes311of the latch lugs31of the connecting seat30so as to firmly latch the base seat10with the connecting seat30.

In the light-emitting cell module100of the present invention, the terminals20are made from a metal sheet. The terminals20are then placed in an injection mold for molding the base seat10. After the base seat10is injection molded, the terminals20are integrated with the base seat10. Alternatively, the terminals20are inserted in the insertion cavities14of the base seat10.

FIG. 6shows another embodiment of the light-emitting cell module100aof the present invention, in which at least three terminals20are side by side inlaid in the base seat10a. The second end12of the base seat10ais recessed to form at least three lead channels121. At least three leads40are tightly clamped and held between the base seat10aand the corresponding connecting seat30a. The second ends22of the terminals20respectively thrust into the leads40. Accordingly, a light-emitting cell50awith three contacts can be mounted on the first ends of the three terminals. After powered on, the light-emitting cell50ais lighted up.

Referring toFIGS. 1,2,3and5, in the light-emitting cell module100of the present invention, the light-emitting cell50is previously soldered between two terminals20of the base seat10. Therefore, as necessary, the base seat10and the connecting seat30can be latched with each other to tightly clamp the leads40of different polarities in a suitable position. At this time, the terminals20inlaid in the base seat10respectively thrust into the corresponding leads40to electrically connect therewith. After powered on, the light-emitting cells50bridged between the terminals20are lighted up as a Christmas light, decoration light, etc. Accordingly, the light-emitting cell module100can clamp the leads40in any position as necessary. In addition, the light-emitting cell50is independently mounted on the base seat10and can be independently manufactured. In manufacturing, the light-emitting cell50is not directly soldered with the leads40so that the light-emitting cell50will not detach from the leads40due to tangling and pulling. Therefore, the quality of the product can be ensured.
