(12) It should be noted that, unless conflicting, features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

(13) In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an LED meteor light for 360-degree illumination, wherein the LED meteor light is a point control LED meteor light, and includes a plurality of LED meteor light units.

(14) Each LED meteor light unit includes a transparent or semi-transparent tubular hood body.

(15) Each LED meteor light unit is free of a PCB.

(16) A head part and a tail part of each hood body includes a first waterproof cap and a second waterproof cap respectively.

(17) A first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and a second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity, parallel to each other, are at least arranged inside the hood body along a direction from the tail part to the head part of the hood body.

(18) A plurality of LED luminous bodies are arranged in sequence inside the hood body along a direction of the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity.

(19) Specifically, each LED luminous body is connected to a first connecting wire and a second connecting wire, the first connecting wire is connected to the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity, and the second connecting wire is connected to the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity.

(20) For further reference, see specific examples in FIG. 1. The LED meteor light disclosed by the present disclosure is free of any PCB. In other words, the LED meteor light does not need a PCB, which not only reduces the cost, but facilitates 360-degree illumination; and each LED luminous body can realize 360-degree illumination and emit light towards the outside through the transparent or semi-transparent tubular hood body. Further, all necessary circuit elements are sealed inside the LED luminous bodies or beads, which prevents failures caused by the PCB, such as soldering shorts or false soldering, thus realizing a better structural design of the LED meteor light.

(21) Exemplarily, FIG. 3 further illustrates a schematic diagram of real objects inside a hood body in a two-wire point control LED meteor light provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

(22) In another embodiment, each LED luminous body includes an LED bead.

(23) The LED bead is a point control bead and operation of the LED bead is controlled by at least two pins.

(24) In another embodiment, the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity are in roughly equal lengths.

(25) In another embodiment, when the LED bead is a two-wire point control bead, the inside of the hood body is provided with merely the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity.

(26) It should be noted that, at the moment, the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity are used as power supply wires and can carry waves so as to transmit a control signal to each LED luminous body and the LED bead inside.

(27) In another embodiment, when the LED bead is a three-wire point control bead, a third conducting wire is further arranged inside the hood body, wherein the third conducting wire is smaller in wire diameter than the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity or the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity.

(28) In another embodiment, a wire diameter of the third conducting wire is determined on a basis of no significant impact on a visual effect of the corresponding LED meteor light unit and 360-degree illumination of the corresponding LED meteor light unit.

(29) It can be understood that, the wire diameter of the third conducting wire may be very small and only needs to meet the most basic mechanical properties to avoid breaking the third conducting wire during shaking of the hood body.

(30) In another embodiment, the third conducting wire is located between the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity.

(31) In another embodiment, the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity are power supply wires.

(32) Referring to FIG. 2, in another embodiment, the third conducting wire is a signal wire, configured to transmit a signal to the bead in each LED luminous body to control a working status of the bead.

(33) It should be noted that, at the moment, the LED bead in the LED luminous body is definitely a three-wire point control LED bead. Moreover, from the perspective of the third conducting wire, all LED luminous bodes in each LED meteor light unit may be in parallel connection. That is, all LED luminous bodies in each LED meteor light unit only receive a DIN signal and do not transmit any DOUT signal externally. The third conducting wire connects each LED luminous body in a bus-like manner. This is beneficial for maintaining the LED meteor light. For example, when a signal processing failure occurs in one or several LED luminous bodies inside the hood body, due to the bus-like connection of each LED luminous body by the third conducting wire, as long as the third conducting wire itself is not disconnected, the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity can still supply power normally to the remaining normal LED luminous bodies. Therefore, the remaining normal LED luminous bodies can still receive the DIN signal and operate normally. If maintenance or replacement of a faulty LED luminous body is needed, simply opening the hood body allows for easy maintenance operations.

(34) Naturally, from the perspective of the third conducting wire, each LED luminous body in each LED meteor light unit may also follow a signal transmission method known as breakpoint continuation. That is, the LED luminous body preceding in the LED meteor light unit receives the DIN signal and externally transmits the DOUT signal to the LED emitter following it.

(35) In another embodiment, the LED beads are in-line beads.

(36) Exemplarily, FIG. 4 further illustrates a schematic diagram of real objects inside a hood body in a three-wire point control LED meteor light provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. In combination with FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, it can be found that, the LED meteor light disclosed by the present disclosure is beneficial in that 360-degree illumination can be realized with the absence of PCBs, and that all bare conducting wires and the third conducting wire inside the hood body do not have a significant impact on the visual effect. It can also be understood that the wire diameters and rigidity of the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity need to satisfy the following two restricting conditions: the bare conducting wires should not only support all the plurality of LED luminous bodies, but also exert no significant impact on the visual effect of the LED meteor light. The wire diameter and rigidity of the third conducting wire need to satisfy the following restricting conditions: the wire diameter should be as thin as possible, so that the conducting wire does not have a significant impact on the visual effect of the LED meteor light, and even if the hood body swings in non-harsh weather conditions, the third conducting wire should not break.

(37) In addition, in another embodiment, the present disclosure further discloses a manufacturing method for an LED meteor light for 360-degree illumination. The method includes the following steps: a first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and a second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity which are parallel to each other are arranged; a plurality of LED luminous bodies are arranged in sequence along a direction of the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity, and each LED luminous body is connected to the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity through a first connecting wire, and each LED luminous body is connected to the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity through a second connecting wire.

(38) In another embodiment, the method further includes the following steps: a hood body is arranged, and the plurality of LED luminous bodies, the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity, the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity, the first connecting wire and the second connecting wire are sleeved with the hood body.

(39) In another embodiment, the method further includes the following steps: a first waterproof cap and a second waterproof cap are respectively arranged on a head part and a tail part of the hood body.

(40) In another embodiment, the method further includes the following steps: the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity and the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity inside the hood body are connected to two power supply wires outside the hood body through the second waterproof cap on the tail part of the hood body.

(41) In another embodiment, the method further includes the following steps: when the LED bead is a three-wire point control bead, a third conducting wire is arranged inside the hood body, wherein the third conducting wire is smaller in wire diameter than the first bare conducting wire with certain rigidity or the second bare conducting wire with certain rigidity.

(42) The third conducting wire is a signal wire, configured to transmit a signal to the bead in each LED luminous body to control a working status of the bead.

(43) The above description is only specific embodiments of the present disclosure and the scope of protection of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present disclosure should be encompassed within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
