An LED light source is generally a plane-type device capable of emitting light in a single direction. Therefore, in the case that an LED lamp body is fastened to a lamp base holder, how to rotate the lamp body to a desired direction is a problem to be urgently solved in the industry.
In the related art, the lamp base holder for mounting the lamp body is manufactured into an assembly, and at least two parts of the assembly may be rotatable relative to each other, such that the lamp body is rotated to the desired angle.
However, since the lamp body and the lamp socket need to be electrically connected and the electrical connection is achieved by a conductive wire, in the process of relative rotation of the two parts of the assembly, the conductive wire may be inevitably twisted, interwind, or even broken, such that the lamp base holder fails to be normally used.
To solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a lamp base holder 01. FIG. 1 is a schematic overall structural view of the lamp base holder 01, FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view taken along an A-A side in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a schematic exploded view of the lamp base holder 01. As illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, the lamp base holder 01 includes a lamp base neck 11, a lamp cap 12, and a fixing pin 13. The lamp cap 12 is configured to mount the lamp body 03. The fixing pin 13 penetrates the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12, and is connected to the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12, such that the lamp cap 12 is rotatable relative to the lamp base neck 11. For example, the fixing pin 13 successively penetrates the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12, such that the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are rotatable respectively about an axis of the fixing pin 13, or one of the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 is fixed relative to the fixing pin 13, and the other of the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 is rotatable about the fixing pin 13. In this way, relative rotation between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 is achieved.
The fixing pin 13 may penetrate the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 in a plurality of fashions. For example, projections, along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the fixing pin 13, of the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 respectively correspond to different positions of the axis of the fixing pin 13. That is, the fixing pin 13, in an axial direction thereof, successively penetrates the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12. Alternatively, projections, along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the fixing pin 13, of the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are at least partially overlapped. For example, the lamp base neck 11 partially or totally penetrates the lamp cap 12, and the fixing pin 13 directly penetrates the lamp base neck 11 and hence indirectly penetrates the lamp cap 12. This structure is as illustrated in FIG. 2.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the lamp base neck 11 includes a bottom plate 117 and a side wall 112 surrounding a circumference of the bottom plate 117. The bottom plate 117 is arranged opposite to the lamp cap 12, and the side wall 112 is configured to be connected to a lamp socket.
As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the lamp base neck 11 is provided with a first circuit board 14 and a second circuit board 15. The first circuit board 14 is arranged on a side, facing the lamp cap 12, of the bottom plate 117, and the second circuit board 15 is arranged on a side, distal from the lamp cap 12, of the bottom plate 117.
The structure of the first circuit board 14 is as illustrated in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. The shape of the first circuit board 14 is annular, and the first circuit board 14 is provided with an annular first conductive region 141. In the process of assembling of the first circuit board 14, a circle center of the first conductive region 141 is substantially coincident with the axis of the fixing pin 13, and the first circuit board 14 is connected to a first wiring 21 via the first conductive region 141 (as illustrated in FIG. 1).
The first circuit board 14 is provided with a tooling hole 143. The tooling hole 143 extends through the first circuit board 14. Hole metallization treatment is performed for the tooling hole 143, such that a current is conducted between two sides of the first circuit board 14.
The structure of the second circuit board 15 is as illustrated in FIG. 6. In this embodiment of the present application, the second circuit board 15 is circular, and the second circuit board 15 is provided with a second conductive region 151. The second conductive region 151 is elliptical. The second circuit board 15 is connected to a second wiring 22 via the second conductive region 151 (as illustrated in FIG. 1).
The first wiring 21 is configured to be connected to an N wire (or a null wire) of a power source, and the second wiring 22 is configured to be connected to an L wire (or a live wire) of the power source. Alternatively, the first wiring 21 is configured to be connected to the L wire of the power source, and the second wiring 22 is configured to be connected to the N wire of the power source, such that the lamp body 03 is powered on and emits light.
As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a first propping pin 16 is connected to the lamp cap 12. One end of the first propping pin 16 is configured to be electrically connected to the lamp body 03, and the other end of the first propping pin 16 penetrates the lamp cap 12 and is configured to be electrically connected to the first conductive region 141 of the first circuit board 14. For example, the first conductive region 141 is a metal layer, for example, a copper layer or an aluminum layer, the first propping pin 16 and the first conductive region 141 are electrically connected by means of metal contact, the first propping pin 16 rotates with the lamp cap 12, and in the process of rotation of the lamp cap 12 relative to the lamp base neck 11, the other end of the first propping pin 16 is constantly abutted against the first conductive region 141, that is, the first propping pin 16 and the first conductive region 141 are constantly in metal contact to achieve electrical connection therebetween.
As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a second propping pin 17 is disposed inside the fixing pin 13 along an axis of the fixing pin 13. One end of the second propping pin 17 is configured to be electrically connected to the lamp body 03, and the other end of the second propping pin 17 protrudes from the fixing pin 13 and is configured to be electrically connected to the second conductive region 151 of the second circuit board 15. For example, the second conductive region 151 is a metal layer, for example, a copper layer or an aluminum layer, the second propping pin 17 and the second conductive region 151 are electrically connected by means of metal contact, the second propping pin 17 rotates with the lamp cap 12, and in the process of rotation of the lamp cap 12 relative to the lamp base neck 11, the other end of the second propping pin 17 is constantly abutted against the second conductive region 151, that is, the second propping pin 17 and the second conductive region 151 are constantly in metal contact to achieve electrical connection.
According to the above embodiment, the first propping pin 16 is abutted against the first conductive region 141 such that the first propping pin 16 is electrically connected to the first wiring 21, and the second propping pin 17 is abutted against the second conductive region 151 such that the second propping pin 17 is electrically connected to the second wiring 22. In the case that the first propping pin 16 and the second propping pin 17 are connected to the lamp body, the lamp body may be connected to the circuit constituted by the first wiring 21 and the second wiring 22, such that the lamp body 03 is capable of emitting light. In this way, no conductive wire is needed between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12. When an angle of the lamp body needs to be adjusted, the lamp cap 12 is rotated, and rotation of the lamp cap 12 drives the lamp body 03, the first propping pin 16, and the second propping pin 17 to rotate simultaneously. The first propping pin 16 is abutted against the first conductive region 141 in the process of rotation, and the second propping pin 17 is abutted against the second conductive region 151 in the process of rotation. By the abutment, in the case that the lamp cap 12 is rotated to any angle and position, the lamp body 03 is constantly connected to the circuit, and thus the problem of twisting and break of the conductive wire is addressed.
In some embodiments, the first propping pin 16 and the second propping pin 17 substantially have the same structure. For ease of description, the embodiment hereinafter is described only using the structure of the first propping pin 16 as an example.
As illustrated in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, FIG. 7 is a schematic sectional view of the first propping pin 16, and FIG. 8 is a schematic exploded view of the first propping pin 16. In some embodiments, the first propping pin 16 is telescopically disposed along the axis thereof. Exemplarily, the first propping pin 16 includes a first section 161 and a second section 162 that are coaxially connected. A conductive elastic member 163 is disposed between the first section 161 and the second section 162. For example, the elastic member 163 may be a metal spring, a metal elastic sheet, or the like. By telescoping of the elastic member 163, the first section 161 and the second section 162 moves close to or away from each other. In this way, the first propping pin 16 is telescopic along the axis thereof.
As illustrated in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, in some embodiments, the first section 161 is hollow tubular, and a top of the first section 161 is provided with an opening, and a bottom of the first section 161 is closed. The elastic member 163 is mounted in a tube pore of the first section 161. One end of the second section 162 is inserted into the tube pore of the first section 161 and abutted against the elastic member 163, and the other end of the second section 162 is abutted against the first conductive region 141.
By configuring the first propping pin 16 to the above structure, in the case that the first propping pin 16 is mounted on the lamp base holder 01 when the elastic member 163 is in a compressed state, under effect of the elastic member 163, the second section 162 is tightly abutted against the first conductive region 141, such that in the process of rotation of the first propping pin 16, an end portion of the first propping pin 16 may not easily detach from the first conductive region 141, thereby ensuring stability of electrical connection. Further, by this configuration, a length of the first propping pin 16 may vary with a compression degree of the elastic member 163, such that the first propping pin 16 is adaptive to different mounting spaces.
As illustrated in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, in some embodiments, an end portion surface, in contact with the first conductive region 141, of the first propping pin 16 is designed as a smooth curved surface to reduce friction between the first propping pin 16 and the surface of the first conductive region 141 in the process of rotation.
As illustrated in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, in some embodiments, the lamp base holder 01 further includes a conductive fixing sleeve 18. The first propping pin 16 is mounted in the fixing sleeve 18. The fixing sleeve 18 is configured to be electrically connected to the lamp body 03, such that the first propping pin 16 is electrically connected to the lamp body 03. Exemplarily, the fixing sleeve 18 is tubular, and one end of the fixing sleeve 18 is provided with an opening. The first propping pin 16 may be mounted from the opening. A positioning mechanism may be disposed between the fixing sleeve 18 and the first propping pin 16. For example, the positioning mechanism includes a protrusion disposed on an inner wall of the fixing sleeve 18 and a recess disposed on an outer wall of the first section 161. In the process of the process of mounting the first propping pin 16 into the fixing sleeve 18, in the case that the protrusion is engaged with the recess, it is difficult for the first propping pin 16 and the fixing sleeve 18 to move relative to each other, such that the first propping pin 16 and the fixing sleeve 18 are positioned and restrained. Likewise, engagement between the fixing sleeve 18 and the lamp cap 12 may also be achieved by this positioning mechanism, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
In the process of mounting, the fixing sleeve 18 is first mounted on the lamp cap 12, such that the end, provided with the opening, of the fixing sleeve 18 is proximal to the lamp base neck 11, and then the first propping pin 16 is mounted from the opening of the fixing sleeve 18 into the fixing sleeve 18. During use, the fixing sleeve 18 and the lamp body are electrically connected, for example, via a conductive wire. In addition, the fixing sleeve 18 and the first propping pin 16 are electrically connected via direct contact, such that the first propping pin 16 and the lamp body 03 are electrically connected.
Since the first propping pin 16 may be inevitably subject to damages, for example, poor contact between the first propping pin 16 and the first circuit board 14 due to insufficient elasticity of the elastic member 163, in this case the first propping pin 16 needs to be replaced or repaired. In the process of replacement or repair of the first propping pin 16, the first propping pin 16 may be removed from the fixing sleeve 18. In the process of removal of the first propping pin 16, the first propping pin 16 is taken out from the opening of the fixing sleeve 18. Since the first propping pin 16 and the lamp body 03 are not directly connected, the fixing sleeve 18 does not need to be removed and the electrical connection structure between the fixing sleeve 18 and the lamp body 03 does not need to be released. In this way, mounting and removal of the first propping pin 16 are more convenient.
It may be understood that the structure of mounting the second propping pin 17 on the fixing pin 13 is the same as that of mounting the first propping pin 16 on the lamp cap 12, and achieves the same effect, which is not described in the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, the lamp base neck 11 is approximately columnar, an end, proximal to the lamp cap 12, of the bottom plate 117 is provided with an inner ring 111. An annular slot 113 is formed between the inner ring 111 and the side wall 112. The inner ring 111, the side wall 112, and the annular slot 113 are all coaxially disposed. The inner ring 111 is provided with an inner bore. The inner bore is configured to extend through the inner ring 111 and the bottom plate 117.
As illustrated in FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a schematic enlarged structural view of part B in FIG. 2. The fixing pin 13 is inserted into the inner bore of the inner ring 111. The first circuit board 14 is mounted in the annular slot 113. The first conductive region 141 of the first circuit board 14 faces towards the lamp cap 12. A circle center of the first conductive region 141 is disposed on the axis of the fixing pin 13.
As illustrated in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, an end, facing away from the lamp cap 12, of the lamp base neck 11 is provided with an accommodation chamber 114. The inner bore of the inner ring 111 is in communication with the accommodation chamber 114. The accommodation chamber 114 is configured to accommodate the second circuit board 15. In the case that the second circuit board 15 is mounted in the accommodation chamber 114, the second conductive region 151 is rightly opposite to the inner bore of the annular ring 111. The second conductive region 151 may be circular, annular, elliptical, or the like, as long as it is ensured that in the case that the second propping pin 17 is mounted in fixing pin 13, the end portion of the second propping pin 17 is constantly abutted against the second conductive region 151 in the process of rotation. Optionally, in the case that the second conductive region 151 is circular, a circle center thereof is disposed on the axis of the fixing pin 13.
It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first circuit board 14 is more proximal to the lamp cap 12 than the second circuit board 15 is. However, in actual manufacture, the positions of the first circuit board 14 and the second circuit board 15 may be exchanged, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the first circuit board 14 is provided with a connection hole 142-1 configured to be connected to the first wiring 21, and the second circuit board 15 is provided with a connection hole 142-2 configured to be connected to the second wiring 22. For protection of the first wiring 21 and the second wiring 22 from exposure outside, the first wiring 21 and the second wiring 22 are both configured to extend out from an end, distal from the lamp cap 12, of the lamp base neck 11 (as illustrated in FIG. 1). As such, in the case that the lamp base holder 01 is connected to the lamp base 02, the first wiring 21 and the second wiring 22 may be totally enclosed inside the lamp base neck 11.
However, in the case that the first wiring 21 extend out from the end, distal from the lamp cap 12, of the lamp base neck 11, the first wiring 21 needs to penetrate the second circuit board 15. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the second circuit board 15 is provided with an escape opening 152 for the first wiring 21 to penetrate. In addition, in order that the first wiring 21 penetrates the second circuit board 15 via a shortest path, as illustrated in FIG. 6 and FIG. 10, the lamp base neck 11 is provided with a locating block 115, and the second circuit board 15 is provided with a locating slot 153. The locating slot 153 is engaged with the locating block 115, such that the escape opening 152 is in communication with the connection hole 142-1 in the first circuit board 141. For example, the escape opening 152 is flush with the connection hole 142-1. Specifically, the locating block 115 is disposed on an inner wall of the accommodation chamber 114, and protrudes from a surface of the inner wall of the accommodation chamber 114. For example, the locating block 115 is strip-shaped, and disposed on the inner wall of the accommodation chamber 114 along an axis of the lamp base neck 11. In the process of mounting of the second circuit board 15, the locating slot 153 of the second circuit board 15 is sleeved onto the locating block 115, and slides along the locating block 115 and progressively approaches the bottom plate 117 before the second circuit board 15 is properly mounted, such that the escape opening 152 of the second circuit board 15 is flush with the connection hole 142-1 of the first circuit board 14, and the first wiring 21 connected to the connection hole 142-1 of the first circuit board 14 penetrates the escape opening 152 in a shortest path and runs through from the second circuit board 15.
As illustrated in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the lamp cap 12 includes a housing portion 121 and a columnar portion 122. The housing portion 121 is configured to mount the lamp body 03. The columnar portion 122 protrudes from an outer wall of the housing portion 121. A center of the columnar portion 122 is provided with a through hole 123 along an axial direction of the columnar portion 122. An outer wall of the columnar portion 122 is in contact with an inner wall of the side wall 112 of the lamp base neck 11. The through hole 123 is in contact with the outer wall of the inner ring 111 of the lamp base neck 11. By this configuration, the columnar portion 122 of the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11 are coaxially disposed and are engaged with each other in a radial direction, which is conductive to rapid positioning between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp socket in the process of mounting.
As illustrated in FIG. 11, FIG. 14, and FIG. 15, FIG. 14 is a schematic structural view of the fixing pin 13 at a first view angle, and FIG. 15 is a schematic structural view of the fixing pin 13 at a second view angle. In some embodiments, the fixing pin 13 includes a post portion 131, a first stop portion 132 disposed on one end of the post portion 131, and a second stop portion 133 disposed on the other end of the post portion 131. The first stop portion 132 and the second stop portion 133 both protrude from an outer periphery of the post portion 131. The post portion 131 penetrates the inner bore of the inner ring 111. The first stop portion 132 is abutted against an end, distal from the lamp cap 12, of the inner bore of the inner ring 111, and is configured to restriction axial movement of the lamp base neck 11 along the fixing pin 13. The second stop portion 133 is abutted against one end, distal from the lamp base neck 11, of the through hole 123, and is configured to restrict axial movement of the lamp cap 12 along the fixing pin 13. The first stop portion 132 and the second stop portion 133 are engaged with each other, such that the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are connected and fixed to each other.
Exemplarily, the fixing pin 13 is a cylindrical plastic fixing pin. The second stop portion 133 is cake-shaped, and a maximum diameter of the second stop portion 133 is greater than a diameter of the through hole 123. The first stop portion 132 is umbrella-shaped, and a maximum diameter of the first stop portion 132 is greater than a diameter of the inner bore of the inner ring 111. In addition, a stress slot 134 is disposed in a middle portion of the first stop portion 132 along an axial direction thereof. The stress slot 134 divides the first stop portion 132 into two parts along the axial direction. Nevertheless, the first stop portion 132 may also be divided into more parts, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. A mounting hole configured to mount the second propping pin 17 is disposed in the fixing pin 13 along an axial direction of the fixing pin 13. The second propping pin 17 is mounted in the mounting hole via the fixing sleeve 18, and one end of the second propping pin 17 is abutted against the second conductive region 151 of the second circuit board 15. The remaining mounting structure of the second propping pin 17 is the same as the mounting structure of the first propping pin 16 on the lamp cap 12, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
It should be noted that since the second propping pin 17 is mounted on the fixing pin 13, to cause the second propping pin 17 to rotate with the lamp cap 12, the fixing pin 13 needs to be caused to rotate with the lamp cap 12. For implementation of this function, in the embodiments of the present application, a locking mechanism is disposed between the fixing pin 13 and the lamp cap 12.
As illustrated in FIG. 13, FIG. 14, and FIG. 15, in some embodiments, the locking mechanism includes a boss 191 disposed on the lamp cap 12, and a recess 192 is disposed on an edge of the first stop portion 132. The recess 192 is configured to be fitted with the boss 191 to restrict a relative position between the fixing pin 13 and the lamp cap 12 in a circumferential direction, such that the fixing pin 13 and the lamp cap 12 synchronously rotate. In this way, the second propping pin 17 is driven to rotate with the lamp cap 12 and the lamp body 03, such that twisting of the wire for electrically connecting the lamp body 03 and the second propping pin 17 is prevented in the process of rotation of the lamp cap 12 relative to the lamp base neck 11.
In some other embodiments, the locking mechanism may further include a screw. The screw is inserted into the lamp cap 12 and the fixing pin 13 successively, such that the fixing pin 13 and the lamp cap 12 synchronously rotate to drive the first propping pin 16 to rotate with the lamp cap 12 and the lamp body 03.
As illustrated in FIG. 9 and FIG. 12, in some embodiments, a periphery of the columnar portion 122 is provided with a turn of lamp cap locking teeth 126, and the inner wall of the side wall 112 is provided with one or more lamp base locking teeth 116. Each of the one or more lamp base locking teeth 116 is meshed with at least two of the lamp cap locking teeth 126 such that a rotation angle of the lamp base neck 11 relative to the lamp cap 12 is locked. Exemplarily, in the case that 360 lamp cap locking teeth 126 are disposed, a top portion of each of the lamp cap locking teeth 126 defines a connection surface with a central axis of the columnar portion 122, and an included angle of 1 degree is defined between two adjacent connection surfaces. Three lamp base locking teeth 116 are disposed, and an included angle defined between two adjacent lamp base locking teeth 116 is an integer multiple of an included angle defined between two adjacent lamp cap locking teeth 126. In a locked state, each of the lamp base locking teeth 116 is embedded into a valley between two adjacent lamp cap locking teeth 126, such that the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are positioned. At this time, in the case that the lamp base neck 11 is fixed, the lamp cap 12 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by 1 degree. In the process of rotation, the lamp base locking tooth 116 slides from an initial position to a valley proximal to the other side of one lamp cap locking tooth 126, such that the lamp base locking tooth 116 is positioned at another position. Accordingly, in the process of rotation of the lamp cap 12, the lamp cap 12 is positioned at the valley each time the lamp cap 12 is rotated by 1 degree, and the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11 may be positioned at a maximum of 360 positions.
It should be noted that to cause the lamp cap 12 to rotate under an external force, surfaces of the lamp base locking teeth 116 and the lamp cap locking teeth 126 are smooth. For example, protruded surfaces of the lamp base locking teeth 116 and the lamp cap locking teeth 126 are arc-shaped, such that it is sufficient to position the lamp base locking teeth 116 into a valley between adjacent lamp cap locking teeth 126 with no external force being applied. In the case that an external force is applied, a resistance against abutment between the top portions of the lamp cap locking teeth 126 and the lamp base locking teeth 116 is overcome, such that the lamp base locking teeth 116 rotate to a valley between another two lamp cap locking teeth 126.
As illustrated in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, in some embodiments, an outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion 122 is fitted, via a tapered surface, with an inner peripheral surface of the side wall 112. A smaller-diameter end of the tapered surface is proximal to the lamp base neck 11, a larger-diameter end of the tapered surface is proximal to the lamp cap 12, and the lamp cap locking teeth 126 and the lamp base locking teeth 116 both extend along a generatrix of the tapered surface.
In the case that the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 go away from each other, a distance between the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion 122 and the inner peripheral surface of the side wall 112 increases, such that the lamp cap locking teeth 126 and the lamp base locking teeth 116 are in clearance fit or transition fit with each other, and the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 may rotate relative to each other under effect of a first external force. The first external force refers to a rotation force acted on the lamp base neck 11 or the lamp cap 12 and surrounding the axis of the fixing pin 13.
In the case that the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 approach each other, the distance between the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion 22 and the inner peripheral surface of the side wall 112 decreases, such that the lamp cap locking teeth 126 and the lamp base locking teeth 116 approach to each other and are in close fit with each other to lock the rotation angle of the lamp cap 12 relative to the lamp base neck 11. In this way, the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are fixed relative to each other, and are capable of synchronously rotating under effect of the first external force to mount the lamp base holder 01 onto the lamp socket, or remove the lamp base holder 01 from the lamp socket.
As illustrated in FIG. 11, in some embodiments, an elastic washer 20 is disposed between the fixing pin 13 and the lamp base neck 11. The elastic washer 20 is in elastic contact with both the fixing pin 13 and the lamp base neck 11. Specifically, the elastic washer 20 is disposed between the second stop portion 133 and an end portion of the inner ring 111. The second stop portion 133 is abutted against the end portion of the inner ring 111 via the elastic washer 20, such that an elastic clearance is present between the second stop portion 133 and the end portion of the inner ring 111. In a pre-compressed state, the elastic washer 20, by a pre-compress elastic force, causes the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 to go away from each other, such that the lamp cap locking teeth 126 and the lamp cap locking teeth 116 are in clearance fit or transition fit with each other, which facilitates relative rotation between the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11. In the case that the elastic washer 20 is further compressed by an external force, the elastic washer 20 is deformed such that parts disposed on two sides of the elastic washer 20 approach each other. For example, in the case that the elastic washer 20 is extruded and pressed by the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12, the elastic washer 20 is deformed to cause the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 to approach each other.
As illustrated in FIG. 16, in some embodiments, the elastic washer 20 is a wave washer, such that a greater elastic deformation for adjusting fitting degree between the lamp cap locking teeth 126 and the lamp base locking teeth 116 may be generated in a direction parallel to an axis of the elastic washer 20.
In some embodiments, at least one of a surface, in contact with the second stop portion 133, of the elastic washer 20, and a surface, in contact with the end portion of the inner ring 111, of the elastic washer 20 is provided with an anti-skid pattern. The anti-skid pattern is configured to further increase friction between the elastic washer 20 and at least one of the second stop portion 133 and the end portion of the inner ring 111. Since the fixing pin 13 and the lamp cap 12 synchronously rotate, only in the case that a greater first external force is applied, the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11 are capable of rotating relative to each other to adjust the angle of the lamp body 03. Without the first external force or with a small first external force, the angle between the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11 is relatively fixed, such that the lamp body 03 is stably maintained at the desired angle, thereby preventing unnecessary rotation.
Exemplarily, the anti-skid pattern may be a grid pattern, a strip-shaped pattern, a sanded cover, or the like, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
The implementation principles of the embodiments of the present application are as follows: Since the lamp base holder 01 includes the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 that are separated from each other, and the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are rotatable relative to each other about the fixing pin 13, in the case that the lamp base neck 11 is connected to the lamp socket and the lamp cap 12 is connected to the lamp body 03, the angle of the lamp body 03 may be changed by rotating the lamp cap 12, such that a light-emitting surface of the lamp body 03 faces a desired direction. In addition, the electrical connection between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 is implemented by abutment of the first propping pin 16 against the first conductive region 141 and abutment of the second propping pin 17 against the second conductive region 151, instead of the electrical connection via the conductive wire in the related art. Therefore, the lamp cap 12 is rotatable at any angle relative to the lamp base neck 11, and twisting and break of the conductive wire are not caused.
The angle between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 may be locked by engagement between the lamp cap locking teeth 126 disposed on the outer periphery of the columnar portion 122 and the lamp base locking teeth 116 disposed on the inner wall of the side wall 112. Under effect of the elastic force of the elastic washer 20, the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are in clearance fit or transition fit with each other, and the first external force is applied to rotate the lamp cap 12, such that the lamp cap 12 rotates at an angle of one or a plurality of lamp cap locking teeth 126 relative to the lamp base neck 11. Afterwards, the first external force is removed, and the lamp cap locking teeth 126 and the lamp base locking teeth 116 are in fit with each other at the angle, such that the angle between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 is locked.
Further, the angle between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 may also be locked by the anti-skid pattern on the surface of the elastic washer 20. In the case that the first external force is applied to the lamp cap 12, the lamp cap 12 overcomes the friction of the anti-skid pattern and rotates relative to the lamp base neck 11 to a suitable angle. Afterwards, the first external force is removed, and under effect of the friction of the anti-skid pattern, the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11 are stably maintained at the adjusted position, with no severe rotation or shaking.
It should be emphasized that in the process of actual process of rotating the lamp cap 12, the rotation angel is not necessarily sufficiently accurate, as long as the light-emitting surface of the lamp body 03 approximately rotates to the desired direction.
The above two fashions for locking the angle between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 may be independently used or combined in use, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
During use, the lamp base holder 01 also needs to be mounted, typically, by threaded connection, onto the lamp socket 02 together with the lamp body 03. When the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11 are rotatable relative to each other, it is difficult for an operator to hold the lamp cap 12 and screw up the lamp base holder 01 onto the lamp socket 02, and removal of the lamp base holder 01 is also difficult. Therefore, in the process of mounting or removal of the lamp base holder 01, the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11 need to be maintained stably, without any relative rotation.
As illustrated in FIG. 9, FIG. 12, and FIG. 17, in some embodiments, the housing portion 121 is provided with a toothed ring 124 surrounding the columnar portion 122. An end portion of the side wall 112 is abutted against the toothed ring 124. A side, proximal to the lamp base neck 11, of the toothed ring 124 is provided with a turn of end-face teeth 125, and the end portion of the side wall 112 of the lamp base neck 11 is provided with a restraining block 1121. Therefore, in the process of mounting or removal of the lamp base holder 01, the lamp cap 12 and the lamp base neck 11 are maintained stably relative to each other, without any relative rotation.
Exemplarily, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the end-face teeth 125 are arranged circumferentially along the toothed ring 124, and a restraining groove 127 is defined between two adjacent end-face teeth 125. The restraining grooves 127 have an equal width, and each two adjacent restraining grooves 127 have an equal distance therebetween. As illustrated in FIG. 9, six restraining blocks 1121 are disposed. The six restraining blocks 1121 are uniformly and circumferentially arranged on the end portion of the side wall 112. The shape of the restraining block 1121 is adaptive to the shape of the restraining groove 127 to be engaged with the restraining groove 127. In this way, the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are locked. It should be noted that configuration of the restraining block 1121 needs to satisfy a requirement that the six restraining blocks 1121 are simultaneously adaptive to the restraining grooves 127 such that the six restraining blocks 1121 collaboratively define a relative position between the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12.
When only one restraining block 1121 is disposed, the restraining block 1121 only needs to be adaptive to any of the restraining grooves 127.
In the case that a second external force is applied such that the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 approach each other, a top surface of the restraining block 1121 progressively approaches the restraining groove 127 defined between two adjacent end-face teeth 125, and is adaptive to the restraining groove 127. Two sides of the restraining block 1121 along a circumferential direction are both provided with end-face teeth 125, and the end-face teeth 125 restricts circumferential movement of the restraining block 1121, such that in the process of rotation of the lamp cap 12, due to restriction from the end-face teeth 125 and the restraining block 1121, the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 fails to move relative to each other. In this way, the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 are locked together, such that the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 synchronously rotate under effect of the first external force to mount the lamp base holder 01 onto the lamp socket, or remove the lamp base holder 01 from the lamp socket. The second external force refers to a force acting on the lamp cap 12 to cause the lamp cap 12 to approach the lamp base neck 11 along the axis of the fixing pin 13.
In the case that the lamp base holder 01 is mounted or removed, the second external force is removed. In this case, under effect of the elastic force of the elastic washer 20, the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 goes away from each other, the restraining block 1121 and the end-face teeth 125 are separated from each other and disengaged from each other, such that the lamp base neck 11 and the lamp cap 12 rotate relative to each other under effect of the first external force to adjust the angle of the lamp body 03.
An embodiment of the present application further provides a lamp, particularly an LED lamp. As illustrated in FIG. 18, the lamp according to this embodiment includes a lamp base 02, a lamp body 03, and the lamp base holder 01 as described in the above embodiments.

The lamp body 03 is fixed onto the lamp cap 12 of the lamp base holder 01.
In some embodiments, the lamp base 02 is electrically connected to the lamp base holder 01, and the lamp base holder 01 is electrically connected to the lamp socket via the lamp base 02. For example, the first wiring 21 and the second wiring 22 of the lamp base holder 01 are respectively electrically connected to two conductive portions of the lamp base 02. For example, the two conductive portions are respectively a metal head and a metal wall of the lamp base 02. The metal head and the metal wall of the lamp base 02 are respectively configured to be connected to an L wire and an N wire of the lamp socket, such that the lamp body 03 is connected to the circuit and thus the lamp body 03 emits light.
