With reference toFIGS.1-10, a floor lamp with a light-emitting lamp pole includes:a top light source assembly100;a lamp pole200, where one end of the lamp pole200is connected to the top light source assembly100, the other end of the lamp pole200is connected to a base300, and a groove210is formed on a surface of the lamp pole200;a lamp strip400, where the lamp strip400is detachably mounted in the groove210of the lamp pole200;a controller, where the controller is electrically connected to a power line and electrical interfaces500for power supply and control of the floor lamp; andan electrical interface500is arranged at both ends of the groove210respectively, the two electrical interfaces500are electrically connected to the controller and the top light source assembly100respectively, and when the lamp strip400is mounted in the groove210and connected to the electrical interfaces500, a power supply circuit and a control circuit of the top light source assembly100and the lamp strip400are communicated with the controller.

The floor lamp not only meets lighting needs, but also achieves rich changes in colors and color temperatures through RGB lamp beads, thus enhancing the decorative effect. In a way of designing the groove210on the lamp pole200, modular mounting of the lamp strip400is achieved, thus facilitating replacement and maintenance. The top light source assembly100and the lamp strip400use the RGB lamp beads, and are capable of independently controlling color temperatures and colors, such that a personalized lighting experience can be provided.

Connection functions of the lamp strip400and the electrical interfaces500are integrated to achieve dual functions of the lamp strip400, i.e., the lamp strip400serves as both a light-emitting body and a circuit connection medium. The detachable design of the lamp strip400allows a user to replace or upgrade the lamp strip400as needed, and also provides the possibility of expanding the lamp. The controller integrates smart control functions, including a wireless connection function, through which the user can remotely control the lamp.

The controller is connected to the power line, to supply power required for the floor lamp. The lamp strip400is mounted in the groove210of the lamp pole200, the electrical interfaces500at both ends of the groove210are connected to the controller and the top light source assembly100, and the lamp strip400mounted, through an internal electrical conductor, is connected to the electrical interfaces500. The controller transmits signals through the electrical interfaces500, and the RGB lamp beads of the top light source assembly100and the lamp strip400are separately controlled to achieve independent adjustment of color temperatures and colors. In the process of mounting the lamp strip400, its internal electrical conductor is connected to the electrical interfaces500at both ends of the groove210, to ensure power supply and control signals of the top light source assembly100can be smoothly transmitted.

The lamp strip400not only achieves lighting and decorative effects, but also serves as a medium for circuit connections, thereby simplifying the design and reducing additional wiring requirements. The design of the lamp pole200and the lamp strip400make the lamp more visually attractive, enhancing the interior decoration effect. Circuit connectivity is achieved through the internal electrical conductor of the lamp strip400, which reduces external wiring and improves system stability and reliability.

With reference toFIGS.3-4, in this embodiment, the lamp strip400is provided with a first cavity410and a second cavity420;a light source of the lamp strip400is arranged in the first cavity410, and a connector of the electrical conductor configured for communicating with both ends of the lamp strip400is arranged in the second cavity420; andthe first cavity410is located above the second cavity420, and when the lamp strip400is mounted in the groove210, the first cavity410faces outside of the groove210.

The controller is connected to the power line through the electrical interfaces500, to supply power for the floor lamp and receive control signals. The lamp strip400is mounted in the groove210of the lamp pole200in a detachable manner, and it is needed to ensure that the first cavity410faces outward, to achieve the lighting function. The electrical conductor in the second cavity420is connected to the electrical interfaces500at both ends of the groove210, to achieve the transmission of power supply and control signals to the lamp strip400and the top light source assembly100. The controller independently controls the RGB lamp beads of the top light source assembly100and the lamp strip400in accordance with user settings, to achieve adjustment of color temperatures and colors.

The lamp strip400is divided into two cavities to place the light source and the electrical conductor separately, which optimizes use of an internal space of the lamp strip400, and improves the design efficiency. A translucent housing design of the first cavity410not only makes its appearance more attractive, but also enhances the lighting effect. The electrical conductor is designed in the second cavity420to arrange the power supply lines and the control lines, which ensures independent control and power supply for the lamp strip400and the top light source assembly100. The lamp strip400mounted is flush with the lamp pole200, thereby providing a trim appearance and a seamless lighting experience.

In this embodiment, sealing strips430are arranged on both sides of the lamp strip400in an extending direction of the lamp strip400, and sealing grooves corresponding to the sealing strips430are formed on a side wall of the groove210. The combined use of the sealing strips430and the sealing grooves is designed, which achieves fixation of the lamp strip400and a certain sealing effect, and ensures the stability and durability of the lamp. The combination of the sealing strips430with the sealing grooves simplifies the installation process of the lamp strip400, such that the user can easily secure the lamp strip400on the lamp pole200. The sealing design helps to improve dustproof and waterproof properties of the lamp, protect the light source and the electrical conductor, and prolong the service life of the lamp.

When the user pushes the lamp strip400in a direction of the groove210of the lamp pole200, the sealing strips430on both sides of the lamp strip400correspondingly cooperate with the sealing grooves on the side wall of the groove210. The sealing strips430are clamped into the sealing grooves to secure the lamp strip400, and a tight connection between the sealing strips430and the sealing grooves achieves a sealing effect. After the lamp strip400is mounted in place, its internal electrical conductor is connected to the electrical interfaces500at both ends of the groove210, to complete connections of the power supply lines and the control lines.

In this embodiment, the electrical interfaces500include 5 line contact points, and the 5 line contact points are respectively used for independent power supply and control of the top light source and the lamp strip400. The 5 line contact points include a negative power supply line, a positive power supply line for the top light source, a control line for the top light source, a positive power supply line for the lamp strip400, and a control line for the lamp strip400.

The controller is connected to the power line, to supply power to the floor lamp. The negative power supply line in the 5 line contact points serves as a common terminal, and forms a loop together with the positive power supply lines for the top light source and the lamp strip400respectively to achieve independent power supply. Contact points of the control lines for the top light source and the lamp strip400are connected to the controller respectively, to achieve the transmission of independent control signals. Based on the user's instructions, the controller transmits control signals through the contact points of the control lines, and adjusts the brightness, color temperatures and colors of the top light source and the lamp strip400. After the lamp strip400is mounted in the groove210, interfaces at both ends of the lamp strip400are connected to the electrical interfaces500of the groove210, to complete connections of the power supply lines and the control lines.

Each light source assembly has independent power supply and control lines, which can be adjusted separately to provide more personalized lighting solutions. The design allows the user to adjust the lighting effect according to needs, and the brightness, color temperatures or colors can be independently controlled.

In this embodiment, the electrical interfaces500are pin slots, and the interfaces at both ends of the lamp strip400are pins510. The user align the pins of the lamp strip400with the pin slots in the groove210for initial positioning. The pins are inserted into the pin slots to achieve an electrical connection and ensure power supply and control signal transmission of the lamp strip400. After positioning, the user pushes other parts of the lamp strip400into the groove210to complete the installation. After the lamp strip400is pushed into the groove210, fixation and sealing can be achieved through the cooperation of the sealing strips430with the sealing grooves. The combination of the pins and the pin slots can play a role of electrical connection and facilitate the positioning and installation of the lamp strip400.

With reference toFIGS.5-6, in this embodiment, a power supply base of a light source110of the top light source assembly100is provided with 3 line contact points corresponding to a power supply loop and a control circuit of the light source110.

A lamp holder120of the top light source assembly100is provided with metal parts corresponding to the contact points of the power supply base.

In the prior art, only power supply interfaces are available for the lamp holder120of the light source and the power supply base of the light source. A light source of wireless control in the prior art usually is provided with a built-in wireless control module for receiving control signals. When this scheme is adopted in the technical solution, the lamp strip400further requires a separate wireless control module.

Line contact points are added between the light source110and the lamp holder120to achieve direct transmission of control signals, thus avoiding the dependence on the built-in wireless control module in the light source. The need for the built-in wireless control module in the light source is eliminated, which simplifies the internal design of the light source and reduces costs and complexity. The unified controller is used to control both the top light source assembly100and the lamp strip400, which improves system integration and operational convenience.

The controller supplies power to the floor lamp through the power line and transmits control signals through the electrical interfaces500. The 3 line contact points on the power supply base are connected to the corresponding metal parts of the lamp holder120, to achieve connections of power supply loops and control circuits. The controller transmits control signals through the electrical interfaces500to the light source110and the lamp strip400, and transmits to the light source110through the line contact points. The light source of the top light source assembly100and the lamp strip400can be controlled independently based on the user's needs or can work together to achieve different lighting effects.

In this embodiment, a first line contact point111A is arranged at a center of a bottom surface of the power supply base, and a concentric annular second line contact point112A is arranged outside the first line contact point111A. It is considered that the light source110is screwed into the lamp holder120in the mounting process. The first line contact point at the center and the annular second line contact point are adapted to an installation method for lamp bulbs, and a third line contact point113A is located on a side surface of the power supply base. Compared to conventional light sources, an annular second line contact point is added on the bottom surface of the power supply base for transmitting control signals. Only part of a bottom end of the lamp holder120is modified. The lamp holder is provided with a first metal part111B, a second metal part112B and a third metal part113B correspondingly.

In design, compatibility with the lamp holder120in the prior art is considered. The annular second line contact point is added, and the annular second line contact point is specifically used for transmitting control signals, which enriches the functions of the light source, such as light regulation, color adjustment, and the like. The installation method of screwing the light source is maintained, and the user does not need to change his/her installation habits. Further, the installation process is simplified. Improvements are made only to the bottom end of the lamp holder120, thereby reducing overall costs and making the upgrade more cost-effective.

In this embodiment, the controller is provided with a wireless transmission module for receiving wireless control signals. By integrating the wireless transmission module, the controller is capable of receiving control signals from different sources, including a remote controller, WIFI, Bluetooth, and the like. A variety of control options are available to users. Different users may prefer different control modes, and diverse control options can meet a wider range of user needs, thereby improving the user experience. By integrating modern wireless communication technology into the controller, seamless integration with smart home systems is achieved.

The wireless transmission module of the controller receives control signals from devices such as the remote controller, WIFI or Bluetooth. The controller decodes received signals, and identifies the user's control instructions. Based on the decoded instructions, the controller transmits corresponding control signals through the electrical interfaces500to the top light source assembly100and the lamp strip400of the floor lamp, to achieve adjustments in the brightness, color temperatures, colors and the like. Compatibility with the WIFI and Bluetooth for control causes the floor lamp to be easily integrated into smart home systems, so as to achieve remote control and automated operations.

With reference toFIGS.7-8, in this embodiment, the lamp pole200is formed by connecting 2 or more support rods230end to end.

The electrical interfaces500are arranged on a support rod at a top end of the lamp pole200and a support rod at a bottom end thereof.

A plurality of support rods230of the lamp pole200can be individually packaged, to reduce transportation volume and costs. In accordance with the installation instructions, the user can assemble all the support rods230to form the complete lamp pole200. The electrical interfaces500are arranged on the support rod at the top end and the support rod at the bottom end, which are configured for connecting with the top light source assembly100and the lamp strip400. The lamp strip400is provided with an integrated signal transmission unit. After being assembled, the lamp pole200is connected to the controller through the electrical interfaces500, to achieve power supply and control.

The lamp pole200is split into a plurality of parts, and a size of individual packaging is reduced, thereby effectively reducing transportation costs. The circuit transmission is integrated in the lamp strip400, which eliminates the need for wiring in a middle of the lamp pole200, and reduces assembly complexity. Due to no need of wiring in the middle of the lamp pole200, both the assembly complexity and potential failures are reduced.

In this embodiment, the support rods230are provided with inserting slots231, adjacent support rods230are connected through inserting strips240, and the inserting strips240are located in the inserting slots231and secured with screws. The design of the inserting strips240and the inserting slots231, and securing by screws, provide a more stable connection mode than a threaded screw connection. Compared to the threaded screw connection, the design of the inserting strips240and the inserting slots231simplifies the assembly process, and the user can quickly connect the support rods230. The inserting slots231help to align the inserting strips240accurately, thereby ensuring the straightness of the lamp pole200and the stability of the overall structure.

The user aligns one of the inserting strips240with one of the inserting slots231, then a screw penetrates through a hole in the inserting strip240, and screwing into a threaded hole in the inserting slot231is performed to complete securing. After the screw is tightened, the inserting strip240and the inserting slot231are tightly connected, to form a stable structural connection. In the connection process, the user can ensure alignment of the groove210, to facilitate the installation of the lamp strip400and the connection of the circuits. According to the screw fixation method, screws can be hidden inside the lamp, without affecting the appearance of the lamp.

With reference toFIG.10, the light source of the top light source assembly100is a LED lamp, and the LED lamp beads are directly connected to the electrical interface500at a top end of the lamp pole200.
