Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fishing appliances, and particularly to an electronic float. Background Art

[0002] The electronic float is mainly used in scenarios where it is difficult to identify the changes of the float scale at night or in dim ambient light. Figure 1 Show a typical solution for daily use floats, mainly composed of a float tail 90, a float body 91 and a float foot 92, formed by glueing and polishing. From the tip of the float tail 90 to the root of the float tail, color zones 902 and 903 are successively formed on the outer surface of the float tail 90 by painting. The color zones 902 and 903 are arranged alternately, and a color separation zone 901 is coated at the junction. The color zones 902 and 903 are colored and have different colors. The color separation zone 901 is dark, usually black. The color zones 901, 902, and 903 together form the float scale of the float tail. A typical feature of the daily use float is that the width of the color separation zone 901 is narrow, usually about 3 mm, and the float tail 90 has sufficient rigidity and good elasticity and is not easily damaged.

[0003] For the electronic float for night use, such as Figure 2 Show a typical solution for an electronic float, mainly composed of an optical fiber 83, a transparent protection tube 80 sleeved outside the optical fiber, a float body 81 and a float foot 82. There are corresponding LED light-emitting elements and batteries inside the float body 81. The float foot 82 and the float body 81 are fixed together through bonding and polishing treatment. The optical fiber 83 is a light guiding component, and the common material is PMMA plastic. A typical feature of the electronic float is that the width of the color separation zone 801 is wider than that of the color separation zone 901 of the daily use float, usually about 10 mm. The purpose of widening the color separation zone 831 of the electronic float is to enable the human naked eye to distinguish the color zones 832 and 833 in the night environment, avoiding the situation that the effects after the float tail emits light are connected together and there is no clear resolution effect of the float scale of the daily use float. At the same time, since the optical fiber 83 is a light guiding component and the light propagates along the axial direction of the optical fiber and then realizes the light-emitting effect of the float tail through radial light transmission, due to the axial propagation and radial refraction light transmission of the light in the optical fiber, brightness loss is inevitable. In order to ensure sufficient radial light transmission brightness effect, the power of the light source must be increased, resulting in a short battery life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An electronic float tail includes a self-luminous body, the self-luminous body emits light from at least two sides or annularly, the float tail further includes a support body, the support body is movably connected or fixedly connected to the self-luminous body, and the support body supports the float tail to maintain a vertical state. The support body and the self-luminous body are in a covering or partially covering relationship. The self-luminous body adopts an OLED self-luminous body.

[0005] Specifically, the self-luminous body includes a transparent state or an intermittent transparent state.

[0006] Specifically, the self-luminous body presents point-like light emission or area light emission.

[0007] Specifically, the self-luminous body adopts an LED self-luminous body that emits light from at least two sides.

[0008] Specifically, the light-emitting body emits light from one side, including a connection method where two single-sided light-emitting bodies are connected back to back, a triangular prism shape formed by three single-sided light-emitting bodies, or a rectangular shape formed by four single-sided light-emitting bodies.

[0009] Specifically, the support is made of fully transparent, intermittently transparent, or semi-transparent materials.

[0010] Specifically, the support has color areas arranged at intervals along the axial direction, there is a color separation area between two adjacent color areas, and the axial width of the color separation area is W(1); the non-light-emitting area corresponding to the self-luminous body has an axial width W(2), and the size relationship is W(2) ≥ W(1), and there is a paint layer on the outermost surface of the color area of the support.

[0011] An electronic float includes an electronic float tail, and also includes a float body component and a float tail connected in sequence. The battery is built into the float body component and is electrically connected to the self-luminous body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] The electronic float tail provided by the solution of the present invention uses a self-luminous body to achieve direct light emission in the radial direction, with small light loss, high light intensity, and an observation area that realizes an almost 360-degree full circumference range in the light-emitting area, and there is no uneven brightness phenomenon in the light-emitting float marks.

[0014] Using an OLED self-luminous body for direct light emission, the base material and electrical leads are both transparent materials. During the day, when observing the center of the float tail, there will be no phenomenon of a central black rod, which does not affect the daily use effect.

[0015] The light-emitting area can be set to be point-like light emission or area light emission, can emit light in segments, or can be whole light emission, meeting various light-emitting observation requirements. Description of the Drawings

[0026] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention, that is, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] All the features disclosed in this specification, or all the steps in the disclosed methods or processes, except for mutually exclusive features, can be combined in any manner.

[0029] Next, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners, a further description of the present invention is made:

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] An electronic floating fishhook, such as Figure 3 , 4, as shown in Fig. 5, the electronic float in this solution includes a float tail 100, a float body assembly 200, and a battery that can be conveniently installed into the float tail assembly to connect to the self-luminous body 10. The float tail 100 includes the self-luminous body 10, and the self-luminous body 10 can emit light on both sides. The float tail 100 further includes a support body 50, and the support body 50 is movably or fixedly connected to the self-luminous body 10. The support body 50 supports the float tail to keep it in a vertical state. Define the extending direction of the float tail 100 as the axial direction, and the direction perpendicular to the axial direction is defined as the radial direction.

[0032] 1. In this embodiment, the self-luminous body 10 includes a flexible circuit board 11 (Flexible Printed Circuit, FPC) provided in the float tail 100, and LED lamp beads 12 provided on the flexible circuit board 11. Multiple LED lamp beads 12 on the flexible circuit board 11 are interconnected in segments corresponding to the float marks 510 of the float tail 100. In an alternative embodiment, the support body 50 is made of a transparent sleeve. When the transparent sleeve is fully transparent or semi-transparent in this embodiment, the float is mainly suitable for use at night. In another embodiment, there is colored paint on the outer surface of the transparent sleeve, and there is also a black color separation area between two adjacent colored paints, which can realize dual use during day and night. The transparent position of the sleeve corresponds to the float marks 510, and the opaque position corresponds to the non-luminous area 520. The self-luminous body 10 can be inserted into the transparent sleeve for movable connection, and the self-luminous body 10 can be fixed in the transparent sleeve. The self-luminous body 10 can be in a flexible or semi-rigid or rigid state.

[0033] Those skilled in the art should understand that, as Figures 4-5 shown, since the flexible circuit board 11 is not light-transmissive, the light-emitting surface of the single-sided flexible circuit board with LED lamp beads 12 can have a better float mark effect along the radial direction (0° - 180°) of the float tail 100, but the float mark observation effects on the back and side will have a significantly reduced brightness, affecting the fishing experience. In this embodiment, two groups of flexible circuit boards 11 are arranged back to back. Two groups of flexible circuit boards 11 can also use one group of flexible circuit boards 11 with LED lamp beads 12 arranged back to back at the same time. The LED lamp beads 12 emit light directly in opposite directions along the radial direction, realizing a full-direction float mark effect in the radial direction (0° - 360°) of the float tail 100. Since the self-luminous body 10 is used to achieve direct light emission in the radial direction, the light loss is small, the light-emitting intensity is high, the light-emitting area can achieve a 360-degree observation area, and there is no phenomenon of uneven brightness in the luminous float marks. The LED lamp beads 12 can form dot-like luminous float marks individually, or can form a light band with regional light emission by several LED lamp beads.

[0034] The support body 50 is made of a transparent material, and colors are attached to the support body 50 to achieve the effect of differentiating the floating marks. The support body 50 can also be made of an intermittent transparent or translucent material. The LED beads 12 of the self-luminous body 10 correspond to the positions of the transparent parts in the radial direction for the luminous floating marks, and the opaque parts correspond to the interval positions 15 of the LED beads 12.

[0035] In an alternative embodiment, the self-luminous body 10 emits light from one side, and includes 3 single-sided self-luminous bodies 10 forming a triangular prism-shaped self-luminous body 10, or 4 single-sided light-emitting bodies forming a rectangular-shaped self-luminous body 10, or a self-luminous body 10 forming an annular light-emitting area.

[0036] Reference Figures 6-7 In order to simultaneously meet the daily use effect, multiple color areas are sequentially coated on the outer surface of the support body 50 from the tip of the floating tail towards the floating body direction, namely color area A 512, color separation area 530, and color area B 513. The color separation area 530 is located between color area A 512 and color area B 513, forming a single outer tube color area combination; the outer tube color area combinations are sequentially increased in a cycle along the axis direction of the floating tail, forming multiple outer tube floating marks. The color separation area 530 of the support body 50 has a width W(1). Preferably, W(1) is 2 to 4 millimeters. The widths of color area A 512 and color area B 513 are significantly wider than that of the color separation area 530. The color separation area 530 mainly serves as a color interval function, and the colors of color area A 512 and color area B 513 are inconsistent. In this embodiment, the self-luminous body 10 uses a flexible circuit. Since the flexible circuit is not light-transmissive, a "black rod" phenomenon will occur during daily use: a black shadow inside the floating mark can be seen, which has a certain impact on the daily use effect.

[0037] As Figure 7 As shown, on the side of the floating tail 100 close to the floating body assembly 200 is the proximal end 522 of the floating tail, and on the side away from the floating body assembly 200 is the distal end 515 of the floating tail. Multiple light-emitting areas are sequentially distributed on the floating tail 100 from the distal end 515 of the floating tail to the proximal end 522 of the floating tail, including floating marks 510, non-light-emitting areas 520, and second light-emitting areas 511; the floating marks 510 and the second light-emitting areas 511 correspond to the positions of the LED beads 12 of the self-luminous body 10, forming a floating mark light-emitting area, which functions to emit light outward in the radial direction; the non-light-emitting areas 520 are located between the floating marks 510 and the second light-emitting areas 511, forming a single light-emitting area combination; the light-emitting area combinations are sequentially increased in a cycle along the axis direction; the remaining surface area of the floating tail, that is, the proximal end 522 of the floating tail, forms a remaining non-light-emitting area 523. The non-light-emitting area 520 has a width W(2), and the size relationship with the color separation area W(1) is W(2)≥W(1).

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] Reference Figure 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10 propose yet another embodiment. The electronic float described in this solution includes a float tail 400, a float body assembly 200, and a battery that can be conveniently installed into the float tail assembly to connect to the self-luminous body 10. The float tail 400 includes the self-luminous body 10, and the self-luminous body 10 can emit light on both sides. The float tail 400 further includes a support body 50, and the support body 50 is movably or fixedly connected to the self-luminous body 10. The support body 50 supports the float tail to maintain a vertical state, and the extending direction of the float tail 400 is defined as the axial direction. The direction perpendicular to the axial direction is defined as the radial direction.

[0040] Specifically, the self-luminous body 10 uses an OLED (organic light-emitting semiconductor) self-luminous body. The self-luminous body 10 includes a transparent substrate 21 and a transparent light-emitting layer 22. A strip-shaped light-emitting area is directly formed on the slender strip-shaped transparent substrate 21, or one-eye corresponding to the float mark 510 of the float tail 400 can be formed by a single or multiple strip-shaped light-emitting areas 221. And the electrical lead-out wires of the OLED are all made of transparent conductive materials. Since the self-luminous body 10 is overall in a transparent state, when the transparent light-emitting layer 22 emits light, both the front and back sides can emit light. The transparent substrate 21 can also be set as an opaque part of the substrate at the corresponding position in the non-transparent light-emitting layer 23 area, while the transparent substrate 21 and the transparent light-emitting layer 22 are the transparent parts, and the transparent substrate 21 can be formed by the opaque part and the transparent part to form an intermittent transparent effect.

[0041] An alternative embodiment, the support body 50 uses a transparent sleeve, and the transparent position of the sleeve corresponds to the float mark 510, and the opaque position corresponds to the non-light-emitting area 520. The self-luminous body 10 can be inserted into the transparent sleeve for covering and wrapping connection. When maintenance is required, the self-luminous body 10 can also be pulled out from the transparent sleeve. The self-luminous body 10 can also be fixed in the transparent sleeve by bonding or other means. The self-luminous body 10 and the support body 50 can also form a covering or partial covering connection relationship. For example, the transparent sleeve is outside and the self-luminous body 10 is placed inside the transparent sleeve. The self-luminous body 10 can also be embedded in the support body to form a partial covering connection relationship, or the sheet-shaped self-luminous body 10 is bonded to the sheet-shaped support body to form a partial covering connection relationship. It can also be that a support body is arranged inside the self-luminous body in the form of a sleeve, and the self-luminous body covers and wraps the support body or the transparent support body wraps the self-luminous body. The self-luminous body 10 in the form of a sleeve forms a ring-shaped light emission.

[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that as Figures 8-9As shown, since the self-luminous body 10 uses a transparent OLED, the light-emitting surfaces corresponding to the transparent base material 21 and the transparent light-emitting layer 22 can have a better floating-eye effect along the radial direction (0° - 360°) of the floating tail 400. Since the self-luminous body 10 is used, direct light emission in the radial direction can be achieved, with small light loss, high light intensity, and a 360-degree observation area for the light-emitting area, and there is no phenomenon of uneven brightness in the floating eye. The transparent light-emitting layer 22 can form a dot-shaped floating eye for single formation, or can form a light band for area light emission corresponding to the floating eye.

[0043] The support body 50 is made of a transparent material, and colors are attached to the support body 50 to achieve the effect of distinguishing the floating eye. The support body 50 can also be made discontinuously transparent, with the transparent part corresponding to the position of the floating eye where the self-luminous body 10 emits light in the radial direction, and the opaque part corresponding to the interval position 211 of the transparent light-emitting layer 22.

[0044] Reference Figure 7 and 10 In order to simultaneously meet the daily use effect, a plurality of color areas are sequentially coated on the outer surface of the support body 50 from the tip of the floating tail towards the floating body, namely color area A 512, color separation area 530, and color area B 513. The color separation area 530 is located between color area A 512 and color area B 513, forming a single outer tube color area combination; the outer tube color area combination sequentially increases in a cycle along the axis direction of the floating tail, forming a plurality of outer tube floating eyes. The color separation area 530 of the support body 50 has a width W(1), preferably, W(1) is 2 to 4 millimeters. The widths of color area A 512 and color area B 513 are significantly wider than that of the color separation area 530. The color separation area 530 mainly plays a role in color separation, and the colors of color area A 512 and color area B 513 are inconsistent. In this embodiment, the self-luminous body 10 uses a transparent OLED. Since the transparent OLED can transmit light, the phenomenon of "black stick" can be avoided during daily use, and the daily use effect is better.

[0045] Applying the self-luminous body 10 with a transparent OLED to the field of floating floats has significant advantages compared to the self-luminous body 10 in Embodiment 1. The phenomenon of "black stick" will not occur, and the daily use effect is better. At the same time, in order to make the floating float more sensitive, usually the floating tail should be made as slender as possible, which results in a narrow internal space in the floating tail. In this embodiment, the self-luminous body 10 of the OLED only needs to use a single light-emitting unit (the floating eye is 1 eye). The self-luminous body 10 with a single OLED light-emitting unit can also achieve a 360° observation range. At the same time, the overall structure of the floating tail is simpler, the reliability is better, and the self-luminous body 10 with a single OLED is also more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0046] Embodiment 3

[0047] In Embodiment 1 or 2, the self-luminous body can emit white light or colored light. In this embodiment, a usage scenario where the self-luminous body emits colored light is proposed based on Embodiment 1 or 2.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, the self-luminous body 10 can emit colored light corresponding to the float target position. The transparent sleeve is completely transparent and can display colors to distinguish the float targets, which is mainly applicable for night use.

[0049] It is also possible to paint corresponding colors (such as orange, yellow or other colors) at the positions corresponding to the float targets on the transparent sleeve. In this way, the self-luminous body 10 can emit light both during the day and at night, and can enhance the color effect both during the day and at night. Especially in situations with poor sunlight (such as dusk, dawn or cloudy days), it can achieve a more prominent effect and can display special effects of large sections of red and brighter local red.

[0050] In another alternative embodiment, the self-luminous body emits yellow light or light of a certain color, and a paint layer is provided on the outer surface of the transparent sleeve. When it emits light, the colors are superimposed to form the desired color to form the corresponding float target, which is applicable to night-use floats.

[0051] The above embodiments only show the quantity of partial float targets corresponding to the self-luminous float targets. In actual applications, the quantity can be decreased or increased according to needs, and all are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0052] The self-luminous body also includes other electronic self-luminous devices.
