Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photographic equipment, and specifically to a selfie stick. <---

Background Art

[0002] Conventional selfie sticks with a lighting function all separately provide a light source at the top of the selfie stick, and the stick body of the selfie stick does not have a lighting function, and it is also impossible to create a lighting effect like the starry sky, which affects the user experience of the selfie stick in a relatively dark specific shooting scene.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a selfie stick whose stick body can emit light in order to solve the technical problem that the stick body of a conventional selfie stick cannot emit light.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows.

[0005] A selfie stick, comprising a tube body and a light-emitting source, wherein the tube body is the stick body part of the selfie stick, the tube body has a cavity inside, a plurality of light-transmitting holes are provided on the tube wall of the tube body, and the light emitted from the light-emitting source can be emitted into the inner cavity of the tube body and then emitted outside through the plurality of light-transmitting holes.

[0006] Furthermore, the aperture diameter of the light-transmitting hole is 1 millimeter or less.

[0007] Furthermore, a light reflection device for reflecting light rays is provided inside the tube body, and the light rays emitted from the light-emitting source are reflected by the light reflection device and then uniformly emitted to the tube body, thereby making the light emission of the tube body uniform.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two of the light reflecting devices, and each of the two light reflecting devices is located at both ends of the tube in the axial direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the multiple light-transmitting holes do not constitute a matrix, spiral, concentric circles, or other predetermined geometric array on the wall of the tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the tube is an expansion joint assembly, which includes multiple stages of expansion joints that are sequentially arranged from the inside out and are expandable in the axial direction, and each stage of the expansion joint has multiple light-transmitting holes in its tube wall.

[0011] Furthermore, the lumens of the multiple stages of the expansion tube are in communication with each other, and the light emitted from the light source can exit through the lumens of the multiple stages of the expansion tube and exit through the multiple light-transmitting holes of the multiple stages of the expansion tube.

[0012] Furthermore, the telescopic tube assembly includes a handle portion and a mounting portion located at both axial ends, the handle portion being used to be grasped by hand or connected to a handle for gripping, the mounting portion being provided with a mounting joint for attaching a shooting stand, the handle portion being located on the outermost telescopic tube of the telescopic tube assembly, and the light source being located inside the outermost telescopic tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting portion is located on the innermost expansion joint of the expansion joint assembly, the mounting joint is connected to the end of the innermost expansion joint, and one of the light reflectors is located inside the innermost expansion joint and connected to the mounting joint.

[0014] Furthermore, a rechargeable battery is provided within the selfie stick to supply power to the light source. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The selfie stick provided in this invention has the following advantages. Multiple perforated light-transmitting holes are processed into the tube body of the selfie stick, and light rays emitted from a light source are emitted outward through the multiple light-transmitting holes. In nighttime or dark environments, the stick body of the selfie stick can create a lighting effect similar to a starry sky, enriching the functionality of the selfie stick and increasing the user experience of taking photos with it. In some relatively dark lighting shooting scenes (for example, a night concert), it is not necessary to hold the selfie stick with one hand and a light-up stick with the other hand; one can simply hold the light-emitting selfie stick body with one hand, resulting in a better user experience. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0021] The selfie stick shown in Figure 1 includes a tube 1 and a light source 2. Here, the tube 1 is the rod body portion of the selfie stick, and the tube 1 is a long columnar structure with a hollow interior. Multiple light-transmitting holes 3 are provided in the tube wall of the tube 1, and light emitted from the light source 2 can exit into the lumen of the tube 1 and exit to the outside through the multiple light-transmitting holes 3. Here, the opening shape of the light-transmitting holes 3 may be any shape, for example, the light-transmitting holes 3 may be circular, elliptical, pentagonal star-shaped, or other polygonal holes. The diameter of the light-transmitting holes 3 is 1 millimeter or less, for example, the diameter of the light-transmitting holes 3 may be 1 millimeter or 0.8 millimeters.

[0022] Such a selfie stick has a tube 1 that forms the main body of the selfie stick, with multiple perforated light-transmitting holes 3, and a light source 2 is installed inside the tube 1. Light rays emitted from the light source 2 can exit the lumen of the tube 1 and exit through the multiple light-transmitting holes 3, so that in nighttime or dark environments, the main body of the selfie stick can create a lighting effect similar to a starry sky, enriching the functionality of the selfie stick and increasing the range of shooting scenes it can be used for.

[0023] In some embodiments of this model, the multiple light-transmitting holes 3 are arranged irregularly on the wall of the tube 1, that is, the multiple light-transmitting holes 3 do not form a matrix, spiral, concentric circles, or other predetermined geometric arrangement on the wall of the tube 1. The multiple light-transmitting holes 3 on the tube 1 can be formed by processing using a laser drilling machine or other drilling equipment. In the drilling process of the tube 1, the tube 1 is fixed to a movable jig, a random algorithm program is introduced into the drilling program of the laser drilling machine, and during the drilling process, the jig can be driven by a drive mechanism to rotate the tube 1 around its axis or move along its axis, the laser drilling machine randomly emits pulsed laser beams into the tube 1 based on the random algorithm program, each time a pulsed laser beam processes one light-transmitting hole 3 on the wall of the tube 1, the positions of the multiple light-transmitting holes 3 are generated by the random algorithm, and there is no functional relationship between their spacing and angles. On a macroscopic scale, the density distribution of the light-transmitting holes 3 is almost uniform at each point in the tube 1, and on a microscopic scale, the position coordinates and spacing of the light-transmitting holes 3 are uncorrelated and match the characteristics of a random distribution. In other embodiments of this example, multiple light-transmitting holes 3 can be arranged on the tube wall of the tube 1 in a regular array such as an array, spiral, or concentric circle.

[0024] In some embodiments of this embodiment, a light reflection device 5 for reflecting light rays is provided inside the tube body 1. The light rays emitted from the light source 2 are reflected by the light reflection device 5 and then uniformly emitted to the tube body 1, thereby making the light rays inside the tube body 1 uniform, and the plurality of light transmission holes 3 of the tube body 1 can emit light uniformly. Furthermore, there are two light reflection devices 5, and the two light reflection devices 5 are respectively located at both axial ends of the tube body 1.

[0025] In some embodiments of this embodiment, the tube body 1 is a telescopic tube assembly, and the telescopic tube assembly includes a plurality of telescopic tubes arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside and axially telescopic, and a locking device for locking two adjacent stages of telescopic tubes. The specific structure of the locking device is the general structure design of a selfie stick, and reference can be made to the prior art, and the description is omitted here. A plurality of light transmission holes 3 are provided on the tube walls of each stage of the telescopic tube, the inner cavities of the plurality of stages of telescopic tubes are communicated, and the light emitted from the light source 2 can be emitted into the inner cavities of the plurality of stages of telescopic tubes and then emitted outside through the plurality of light transmission holes 3 of the plurality of stages of telescopic tubes. In some alternative embodiments, one light source is provided inside each stage of the telescopic tube of the telescopic tube assembly, the plurality of light sources are connected in series, and the light rays emitted from the light sources in each stage of the telescopic tube are emitted outside through the plurality of light transmission holes 3 of that stage of the telescopic tube. In other embodiments of this embodiment, the rod body part of the selfie stick can further include only a single tube body.

[0026] In some embodiments of this embodiment, the telescopic tube assembly includes a hand-held part and a mounting part located at both axial ends. The hand-held part is located on the outermost stage of the telescopic tube of the telescopic tube assembly, and the mounting part is located on the innermost stage of the telescopic tube of the telescopic tube assembly. The hand-held part is used to be held by hand or connected to a handle for gripping, and a mounting joint 4 for mounting a shooting stand is provided on the mounting part. Specifically, the mounting joint 4 may be a 1 / 4-inch thread. The light source 2 may specifically be an LED light source, and the light source 2 is provided inside the outermost stage of the telescopic tube.

[0027] Furthermore, a rechargeable battery to supply power to the light source 2 may be provided inside the outermost telescopic tube or inside the selfie stick handle, and the rechargeable battery may be a lithium battery. A light source control board electrically connected to the light source 2 may also be provided inside the outermost telescopic tube or inside the selfie stick handle, and the light source control board can control parameters such as the luminance, color, and mode of the light source 2, making it possible to create a richer starry sky illumination effect in dark scenes.

[0028] In some embodiments of this model, when the telescopic tube assembly is unfolded, the number of light-transmitting holes 3 in different sections of the telescopic tube gradually increases in the direction from the handle to the mounting section, and the distribution density of light-transmitting holes 3 gradually increases, creating a specific starry sky illumination effect. In other embodiments of this model, when the telescopic tube assembly is unfolded, there may be no clear regularity in the number and distribution density of light-transmitting holes 3 in different sections of the telescopic tube.

[0029] In some embodiments of this model, the mounting joint 4 is connected to the end of the innermost expansion joint, and one of the light reflectors 5 is located inside the innermost expansion joint and connected to the mounting joint 4. Light rays emitted from the light source 2 are reflected after being irradiated by the light reflector 5, which is advantageous as it allows more rays to be reflected before being emitted out through the multiple light-transmitting holes 3. A light-reflective film capable of reflecting light rays may be attached to the inner wall of the tube 1, and the light-reflective film has openings at positions corresponding to the light-transmitting holes 3, increasing the probability that light rays inside the tube 1 will be reflected multiple times by the light-reflective film before being emitted out through the multiple light-transmitting holes 3.

[0030] In some embodiments of this model, a heat dissipation fan is provided inside the tube 1 to further enhance the airflow between the tube 1 and the surrounding air. The heat dissipation fan can drive the hot air inside the tube 1 to be rapidly expelled to the outside through a plurality of light-transmitting holes 3, thereby lowering the temperature of the outer surface of the tube 1 and preventing the tube 1 from becoming too hot to hold and use.

[0031] As described above, the selfie stick provided in this invention has multiple perforated light-transmitting holes 3 in the main body of the selfie stick, and a light source 2 and a light reflecting device 5 are installed inside the tube 1 of the main body of the selfie stick. After the main body of the selfie stick is fully extended, the light rays emitted from the light source 2 are reflected by the light reflecting device 5 and then exit into the lumen of the tube 1 and out through the multiple light-transmitting holes 3. In nighttime or dark environments, the main body of the selfie stick can create a lighting effect similar to a starry sky, enriching the functionality of the selfie stick and increasing the range of shooting scenes in which it can be used. In some relatively dark specific lighting shooting scenes (for example, a night concert), it is not necessary to hold the selfie stick with one hand and a light-up stick with the other hand; one can simply hold the light-emitting selfie stick with one hand, resulting in a better user experience.

[0032] Naturally, the above embodiments are illustrative for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make other different forms of modifications or changes based on the above description. It is not necessary, nor is it possible, to cover all embodiments here. Any obvious changes or modifications derived in this manner remain within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
