[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0033] Based on the shortcomings of existing technologies, the following section combines specific examples. Figure 1-9 The handle assembly of the present invention and the luminous conductor baton containing the handle assembly are described in detail.

[0034] like Figure 9 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the luminous baton of the present invention. The luminous baton includes a luminous component 2 and a handle component 1, which are connected end to end. The handle component 1 is also equipped with an anti-slip rope 18.

[0035] The following is a specific example. Figure 1-8 The structure of the handle assembly 1 in this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0036] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the handle assembly 1 includes a handle housing 11, a power supply element and a drive element 13, wherein the power supply element and the drive element 13 are installed inside the handle housing 11, and the power supply element is electrically connected to the drive element 13.

[0037] The handle shell 11 of this embodiment is made of silicone material. Compared with the metal materials and hard plastics used in the prior art, silicone is lighter and thus reduces the weight of the luminous baton.

[0038] The handle shell 11 also has anti-slip protrusions 111 to better increase the comfort of gripping.

[0039] The power supply element in this embodiment is preferably a lithium battery 12, which has a longer power supply time and is lighter than a lead-acid battery.

[0040] In order to enable the handle assembly 1 to be attracted to an iron plate with a thickness of ≥5mm and to achieve upright, side-standing and upside-down positions, a magnetic suction component is also included. In this embodiment, the magnetic suction component is preferably a magnet 16, which is coded as 1607010003, has a size of φ16*5mm, and weighs approximately 7.4g.

[0041] According to the design specifications for magnet 16, the magnetic force is approximately 60 times the weight of magnet 16, meaning the adsorbed physical weight = xm = 446g; therefore, it can adsorb an object weighing 446g. The magnetic plate 17 attached to the surface of magnet 16 has a magnetic permeability of 90%, which is 356g. The weight of the luminous conductor stick is 290.12g (taking the maximum value), which is much less than the magnetic force, thus meeting the requirements for magnetic adsorption.

[0042] At the same time, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the handle housing 11 has a tail cap 14 at the tail end. The tail cap 14 is made of polycarbonate material. The tail cap 14 has a cushioning pad 15 and a groove. The groove can accommodate a magnet 16. The cushioning pad 15 has an annular hole 151 that matches the magnet 16. The magnet 16 is located in the groove and fixed through the annular hole 151.

[0043] In order to fix the magnetic plate 17, such as Figure 3 As shown, the edge of the buffer pad 15 is provided with an annular protrusion, and a magnetic plate 17 is provided inside the annular protrusion.

[0044] The cushioning pad 15 in this embodiment is made of molded silicone rubber material, and its main function is to cushion the product when it is dropped.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the magnetic plate 17, the buffer pad 15, and the tail cap 14 are connected by screws, and the anti-slip rope 18 is also installed on the tail cap 14.

[0046] In order to protect lithium battery 12, such as Figure 4 As shown, a battery protection plate 121 is provided on the side wall of the lithium battery 12. The battery protection plate 121 is located on the side wall of the lithium battery 12 near the drive element 13. The battery protection plate 121 has a semi-cylindrical structure with an arc-shaped inner side and is fixed on the side wall of the lithium battery 12.

[0047] In addition, in order to protect the lithium battery 12, the other end of the lithium battery 12 opposite to the battery protection plate 121 has a battery buffer pad, which is preferably made of rubber material. When the light-emitting conductor falls to the ground, the presence of the battery buffer pad can reduce the impact force on the lithium battery 12.

[0048] To further protect the lithium battery 12 and prevent it from rattling back and forth inside the handle housing 11, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a limiting protrusion 112 is provided on the inner wall of the handle housing 11, and the limiting protrusion 112 extends inward along the radial direction of the handle housing 11.

[0049] The limiting protrusion 112 can be annular or discontinuous arc-shaped protrusion. In this embodiment, it is preferred to include three discontinuous arc-shaped protrusions. One of these three arc-shaped protrusions is opposite to the battery protection plate 121, and the other two are located on both sides of the battery protection plate 121. In this way, the three arc-shaped protrusions work together to limit the battery.

[0050] In this embodiment, the lithium battery 12 is electrically connected to the driving element 13, and the lithium battery 12 supplies power to the driving element 13.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving element 13 in this embodiment includes a driving board 131 and a driving bracket 132. The driving board 131 is installed in the driving bracket 132 and is electrically connected to the lithium battery 12. The driving board 131 is also provided with a power start button 135.

[0052] Furthermore, a TYPE-C connector 133 is provided on one end of the drive bracket 132 opposite to the drive board 131. The TYPE-C connector 133 is electrically connected to the drive board 131 and is also electrically connected to the power display screen 134. The power display screen 134 is located on the handle housing 11, and the handle housing 11 is provided with a TYPE-C charging interface 1331 corresponding to the TYPE-C connector 133.

[0053] In this embodiment, the TYPE-C charging port 1331 on the handle is electrically connected to the lithium battery 12. The open-circuit voltage range of the lithium battery 12 is 2.5V-4.2V, the battery capacity is ≥5000mAh, the over-discharge protection voltage is 2.5±0.1V, and the overcharge protection voltage is 4.28±0.05V.

[0054] In this embodiment, the TYPE-C charging interface 1331 receives a DC 5V power supply and outputs a DC 4.2V power supply to charge the lithium battery 12.

[0055] The charging principle is as follows:

[0056] The charging system adopts the mature domestic IP5306 solution, featuring output overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection, as well as input overvoltage, overcharge, over-discharge, and overcurrent discharge protection, and supports over-temperature protection. The TYPE-C charging interface 1331 accepts DC 5V power and outputs DC 4.2V power to charge the lithium battery 12. Different charging methods are used depending on the lithium battery 12's voltage. When the lithium battery 12's voltage is below 3V, a 100mA constant current power supply is used for trickle charging. When the lithium battery 12's voltage is between 3V and 4.2V, a constant voltage power supply is used for charging. The maximum charging current is 2A, and it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge.

[0057] In addition, the tail cap 14 of this embodiment can be replaced with a window breaker for window breaking, or it can be replaced with a lamp interface that enables lamps to be used in pairs.

[0058] The specific installation process for handle assembly 1 is as follows:

[0059] (1) After aligning the guide rail on the drive board 131 with the guide rail on the handle housing 11 and installing it, use ST2.2*6 automatic screws to fix it.

[0060] (2) Install the TYPE-C sealing gasket on the handle housing 11 to complete the assembly;

[0061] (3) Install the anti-detachment rope 18 on the tail cap 14;

[0063] (5) Remove the adhesive backing of the buffer pad 15 and install it on the tail cap 14;

[0064] (6) The magnet 16 is installed on the tail cover 14, the magnetic plate 17 is covered, and the screws are used to tighten it to complete the assembly.

[0065] The assembly process of the drive element 13 that constitutes the handle assembly 1 is as follows:

[0066] (1) Solder the TYPE-C terminal block 133 to install the drive bracket 132;

[0067] (2) Solder the connected red and black wires to the drive board 131. The drive board 131 is fixed to the drive bracket 132 with ST2.2*6 screws.
