Abstract

An outdoor light holder structure includes: a holder body, a partitioning plate being disposed in the holder body; an assembling member buckled with the holder body; a first electro-conductive plate received in a first through hole of the holder body, the first electro-conductive plate having a first tip section and a first stop section extending to the assembling member; a second electro-conductive plate received in a second through hole of the holder body, the second electro-conductive plate having a second tip section and a second stop section extending to the assembling member, the first stop section and the second stop section being slightly raised from the partitioning plate; and a conductive wire disposed between the holder body and the assembling member. The first and second stop sections are inlaid and engaged in the conductive wire to secure the conductive wire with holder body.

Claims

1. An outdoor light holder structure comprising:

a holder body, a partitioning plate being disposed in the holder body to partition an interior of the holder body into a light chamber and a wire chamber, a first through hole being formed on the partitioning plate near a center thereof, a second through hole being formed on the partitioning plate near a sidewall of the holder body, two wire conduction holes being respectively formed through two lateral sides of the wire chamber;

an assembling member connected with the holder body from a top side of the holder body;

a first electro-conductive plate received in the first through hole, the first electro-conductive plate having a first electro-conductive section positioned in the light chamber, the first electro-conductive plate further having a first tip section and a first stop section extending into the wire chamber, the first tip section being disposed on one side of a rear end of the first stop section, the first stop section being slightly raised from the partitioning plate;

a second electro-conductive plate received in the second through hole, the second electro-conductive plate having a second electro-conductive section positioned on a sidewall of the light chamber, the second electro-conductive plate further having a second tip section and a second stop section extending into the wire chamber, the second tip section being disposed on one side of a rear end of the second stop section, the second tip section and the first tip section being positioned on different sides, the second stop section being slightly raised from the partitioning plate; and

a conductive wire having an external insulation skin, the conductive wire being disposed in the wire conduction holes of the holder body, the assembling member serving to force the conductive wire toward the holder body, whereby the first stop section of the first electro-conductive plate and the second stop section of the second electro-conductive plate are oppositely inlaid in the insulation skin to form inlay indentations on the conductive wire.

2. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first electro-conductive section and the first stop section of the first electro-conductive plate contain an angle, whereby the first electro-conductive section is transversely disposed on a bottom section of the light chamber, a first restriction block extending from a rear end of the first electro-conductive section, a restriction cavity being formed beside the first through hole on one face of the partitioning plate proximal to the wire chamber, the first stop section being restricted in the restriction cavity, the partitioning plate being further formed with a restriction rib disposed on one side of the first through hole opposite to the restriction cavity, the first restriction block leaning on the restriction rib.

3. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second electro-conductive section of the second electro-conductive plate is arched, at least one raised contact point being disposed on a surface of the second electro-conductive section, a second restriction block extending from a rear end of the second electro-conductive section, an insertion slot being formed on the sidewall of the light chamber, the second restriction block of the second electro-conductive plate being inlaid in the insertion slot, an engagement block being disposed on an inner side of the second through hole, the second stop section being engaged on the engagement block.

4. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the assembling member has two engagement buckles extending toward the center of the assembling member, a guide slope being formed on one face of the partitioning plate in adjacency to the engagement perforation, which face is proximal to the wire chamber.

5. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein two conductive wire passages are formed on a bottom face of the assembling member, on which a bottom face the engagement buckle is disposed.

6. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one restriction sharp protrusion is disposed on one face of the partitioning plate, which face is proximal to the wire chamber, the restriction sharp protrusion being positioned between the first tip section of the first electro-conductive plate and the second tip section of the second electro-conductive plate.

7. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 5, wherein at least one restriction sharp protrusion is disposed on one face of the partitioning plate, which face is proximal to the wire chamber, the restriction sharp protrusion being positioned between the first tip section of the first electro-conductive plate and the second tip section of the second electro-conductive plate.

8. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wire chamber is further formed with guide blocks on two sides of the engagement perforations.

9. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wire chamber is further formed with a water draining hole at a rear end of wire conduction hole in communication with the light chamber.

10. The outdoor light holder structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein an engagement perforation being disposed on at least one side of the partitioning plate of the holder body;

the assembling member having an engagement buckle disposed on at least one side of the assembling member, the engagement buckle being buckled in the engagement perforation from the wire chamber.
