[0103] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the detachable flashlight mounting bracket of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0104] It should be noted that, in the description of this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0105] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0106] First refer to Figure 1-10The first aspect of this invention provides a detachable mounting bracket for a flashlight, which generally includes a housing 1, a movable connecting assembly 2, and a spring-loaded connecting assembly 3. The housing 1 has an open cavity 101 for mounting the flashlight 4. The movable connecting assembly 2 is mounted at the rear of the housing 1 and is detachably connected to the rear end of the flashlight 4. The spring-loaded connecting assembly 3 is mounted at the front of the housing 1 and is detachably connected to the front of the flashlight 4. By using the movable connecting assembly 2 and the spring-loaded connecting assembly 3, the flashlight 4 can be quickly removed without tools when separating the mounting bracket from the flashlight 4, making disassembly and assembly convenient and quick, and easy to use.

[0107] Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the open cavity 101 of the housing is a sunken arc-shaped recessed structure to facilitate contact with the front outer wall and the rear outer wall of the flashlight 4.

[0108] Optionally, the two sides of the housing 1 can be fixed to the trunk, rear center console or other parts of the car by bolts. The specific installation position depends on the actual use.

[0109] See Figure 1-6 ,as well as Figure 8 In one embodiment, the movable connection component 2 generally includes a button 201, a locking member, and a connecting unit 204. The connecting unit 204 is mounted at the middle of the rear end of the housing 1. The locking member is retractably mounted on the connecting unit 204. The button 201 is pressably connected to the housing 1 so as to detachably abut against the locking member, driving the locking member to retract, thereby detachably connecting the locking member to the rear end of the flashlight 4. By providing the button 201 and the locking member, the button 201 can pressably abut against the locking member to drive the locking member to retract, thus detaching the locking member from the rear end of the flashlight. The flashlight 4 can be easily and quickly retrieved simply by pressing the button 201.

[0110] The connecting unit 204 and the housing 1 are integrally formed or welded together, resulting in good sturdiness.

[0111] Continue reading Figure 1 Specifically, the locking element is arranged along the length of the connecting unit 204 and the housing 1 and is telescopically mounted on the connecting unit 204. The front of the button 201 is a vertical surface so that the rear end of the flashlight can be engaged with the locking element. The rear and two sides of the button 201 can be curved or vertical surfaces without affecting the pressing.

[0112] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific size of the connecting unit 204, and those skilled in the art can set the size of the connecting unit 204 according to the actual situation.

[0113] See Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, the lower front side of the button 201 has an upward recess (not shown in the figure), which forms an open cavity 2015 between the recess and the housing 1 to allow the latch 202 of the lock to retract. The lock generally includes an integrally formed latch 202 and latch shaft 203. The latch shaft 203 is movably connected to the connecting unit 204, facilitating the overall forward or backward movement of the lock. The latch shaft 203 and the button 201 are detachably abutted by a sliding engagement structure, causing the latch to retract from the outside of the open cavity 2015 into the inside of the open cavity 2015, facilitating a detachable connection between the latch 202 and the rear end of the flashlight. By setting an open cavity 2015 to provide room for the locking tongue 202 to move, it is convenient for the rear end of the flashlight and the locking tongue 202 to engage or disengage. The locking tongue shaft 203, driven by the button 201, drives the locking tongue 202 to retract through the sliding engagement structure. In this way, the locking tongue 202 and the rear end of the flashlight are disengaged, making it convenient and quick to take out the flashlight.

[0114] The retraction stroke of the latch 202 is equal to the pressing stroke of the button 201, and greater than the engagement distance between the flashlight 4 and the latch 202.

[0115] Continue reading Figure 1-5 Specifically, the latch shaft 203 is a horizontally arranged rod, and its rear end extends beyond the rear of the connecting unit 204 to allow the latch shaft 203 to move forward and backward. The latch 202 is a block structure, which is integrated with the latch shaft 203, so that the latch shaft 203 and the latch 202 can move forward and backward as a whole, and the latch 202 can be detachably engaged with the rear end of the flashlight 4.

[0116] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific dimensions of the locking tongue 202, and those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation.

[0117] Continue reading Figure 1-5 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, the upper part of the latch 202 is formed with a latch slope 205, and the lower part of the latch 202 is a bottom plane 206. The rear end of the flashlight 4 is provided with a flashlight protrusion 401. The outer side of the flashlight protrusion 401 is used to press the latch slope 205, causing the latch 202 and the latch shaft 203 to retract, causing the flashlight protrusion 401 to fall on the lower part of the latch 202, so that the latch 202 and the latch shaft 203 can extend. In this way, the latch 202 can be inserted into the inner side of the flashlight protrusion 401. The inner side of the flashlight protrusion 401 abuts against the bottom plane 206 of the latch 202, thereby forming a separable connection between the flashlight 4 and the latch 202. The flashlight 4 is snapped into place by the cooperation of the latching tongue bevel 205, the bottom plane 206 and the flashlight protrusion 401, making it convenient and quick to take out the flashlight 4.

[0118] See below for further reading. Figure 1-5 In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the latch bevel 205 is 40° to 50°, preferably 45°. When the above-mentioned inclination angle is adopted, the flashlight protrusion 401 has a good effect of pressing against the latch 202 and retracting, thus preventing jamming. The flashlight protrusion 401 has a ring structure, and there is a certain gap between the bottom plane 206 of the latch 202 and the housing 1. The thickness of the flashlight protrusion 401 and the height of the gap are consistent, so that the latch 202 can restrict the flashlight protrusion 401 within the gap to achieve a locking action.

[0119] In one feasible embodiment, a rubber sheet is bonded to the bottom plane 206 of the latch 202, and another rubber sheet is bonded to the housing 1 at the position corresponding to the open cavity 2015. When the flashlight protrusion 401 is confined within the gap, it is pressed and held in place by the two rubber sheets to prevent vibration under external force. For example, when the mounting bracket is installed in the trunk of a vehicle, some vibration will occur during vehicle movement. After repeated use, a small gap will develop between the flashlight protrusion 401 and the latch 202, which will then generate vibration and produce low-frequency noise.

[0120] Optionally, the bottom plane 206 of the locking tongue 202 can also be an arc-shaped surface, the angle of which matches the arc angle of the flashlight protrusion 401 to achieve arc-shaped matching and further improve the locking effect.

[0121] In one feasible embodiment, the lower edge of the front end of the latch 202 is set to be arc-shaped, and the rear end of the flashlight protrusion 401 is also set to be arc-shaped. This facilitates the retraction of the latch 202 by the latch protrusion 401 against the latch slope 205 of the latch 202, so that the flashlight protrusion 401 is in the gap, avoiding jamming during the process.

[0122] See Figure 6-8 In one embodiment, the sliding fit structure generally includes a button rib 2012 disposed below the button 201 and a latch shaft through hole 210 disposed on the latch shaft 203. The lower end of the button rib 2012 is an inclined edge 2013, higher at the front and lower at the rear. The rear side of the latch shaft through hole 210 has an inclined surface 211 that slopes towards the rear end of the latch shaft 203. The inclined edge 2013 and the inclined surface 211 slide in contact, allowing the button 201 to drive the latch shaft 203 to retract the latch 202, thereby enabling the latch 202 and the rear end of the flashlight to be detachably engaged. By configuring the button 201 and the locking element, the button 201 can press against the locking element to drive the locking element to retract, thus separating the locking element from the rear end of the flashlight. The flashlight 4 can be easily and quickly removed simply by pressing the button 201.

[0123] Optionally, the latch shaft through hole 210 is a rectangular through hole, the button rib 2012 is a rectangular piece, and the inclination angle of the lower inclined edge 2013 of the button rib 2012 is adapted to the inclination angle of the inclined surface 211 of the latch shaft through hole.

[0124] Continue reading Figure 6-8 In one embodiment, the flashlight has a protruding edge 401 at its rear end, which is used to press the inclined surface 205 of the latch to retract the lock, so that the protruding edge 401 falls under the latch 202, causing the lock to extend so that the latch 202 can be inserted into the inner side of the protruding edge 401, thus forming a separable locking connection between the flashlight 4 and the latch 202. The contact between the protruding edge 401 and the inclined surface 205 presses the latch 202 backward. When the end of the protruding edge 401 is lower than the latch 202, the latch 202 extends forward, thus confining the protruding edge 401 under the latch 202, achieving a convenient and quick locking of the flashlight 4.

[0125] See Figure 10 In this embodiment, the flashlight protrusion 401 is annular, and its length is basically the same as the gap length of the lower part of the locking tongue 202, which makes it easy for the flashlight protrusion 401 to fit into the gap.

[0126] See Figure 2-6 In one embodiment, the connecting unit generally includes an end cap 2041 and two connecting cylinders 2042. The end cap 2041 has a first through hole (not marked in the figure) in its center, allowing the rear end of the latch shaft 203 to be inserted and pass through it, enabling the latch shaft 203 to move forward or backward. The end cap 2041 has symmetrical second through holes (not marked in the figure) on both sides, which are connected to the rear ends of their respective connecting cylinders 2042. The front ends of the connecting cylinders 2042 are connected to the housing 1. The connected end caps 2041 and two connecting cylinders 2042 provide support for the latch shaft 203, and the first through holes in the end caps provide an extension channel for the latch shaft 203.

[0127] Continue reading Figure 4-6 In this embodiment, the second through holes of the two end caps and the rear ends of their respective connecting cylinders 2042 are connected by screws, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance. The front end of the connecting cylinder 2042 and the rear end of the housing 1 are welded or integrally formed, resulting in good sturdiness.

[0128] Please refer to further reading Figure 4-6In this embodiment, the specific length of the connecting cylinder 2042 is determined by actual use. The diameter of the first through hole 2043 of the end cap is slightly larger than the diameter of the locking tongue shaft 203 so that the locking tongue shaft 203 can pass through. An annular protrusion (not marked in the figure) is formed on the outer side of the front end of the first through hole 2043 of the end cap, which is used for the rear end of the first spring 209 to abut, so that the first spring 209 is compressed when the locking tongue shaft 203 retracts.

[0129] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes a first limiting structure, which generally includes a baffle 102, a first convex ring 207, a second convex ring 208, and a first elastic element 209. The baffle 102 is located at the rear of the open cavity 101 of the housing and has a baffle through hole (not shown in the figure) for the insertion of the latch 202 for guidance. The first convex ring 207 is located at the front of the latch shaft 203 and limits the extension of the latch 202 out of the baffle through hole, preventing excessive extension or retraction of the latch 202 and thus avoiding excessive impact damage to the rear end of the flashlight 4 caused by the latch 202. The second convex ring 208 is located at the rear of the latch shaft 203 and is detachably abutted against the button opening 2011 at the lower part of the button 201, preventing excessive extension or retraction of the latch shaft 203. The first elastic element 209 is fitted around the rear of the latch shaft 203 and abuts against the second convex ring 208, providing elastic force to the latch shaft 203. When the latch shaft 203 and the latch 202 move forward to the preset stroke, the first convex ring 207 contacts the inner wall of the baffle 102 to prevent the latch 202 from moving forward too much, so that the rear end of the flashlight will not be impacted by the latch 202, and the latch 202 extends forward to a reasonable length. The second convex ring 208 is used to contact the outer wall of the button opening 2011 to prevent the latch shaft 203 from extending forward too much. It also provides elastic force through the first elastic element 209, which facilitates the latch shaft 203 and the latch 202 to extend forward or retract backward.

[0130] Among them, the first elastic element 209 is a spring.

[0131] Continue reading Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the baffle 102 is integrally formed on the rear part of the housing 1. When the latch 202 and the flashlight protrusion 401 are engaged, the rear ends of the baffle 102 and the flashlight 4 are close together. The through hole of the baffle 102 is used to accommodate the latch shaft 203 and the latch 202, and serves as a guide. The hollow structure 103 is opened in the middle of the area between the baffle 102 and the rear end of the housing 1 to reduce weight and facilitate the pressing of the button 201 and the sliding connection of the latch shaft 203. The diameter of the first protruding ring 207 is larger than the diameter of the through hole of the baffle, and the diameter of the second protruding ring 208 is larger than the diameter of the button opening 2011 to prevent the latch 202 from extending excessively.

[0132] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes an inverted snap-fit ​​structure, which generally includes two connecting protrusions 104 symmetrically arranged at the rear of the housing 1 and two plug-in pieces 2014 symmetrically arranged below the button 201. The two connecting protrusions 104 and the two plug-in pieces 2014 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence and connected in an inverted snap-fit ​​manner, so that the button 201 can be pressed. By setting the two connecting protrusions 104 and the two plug-in pieces 2014 in a one-to-one correspondence and connected in an inverted snap-fit ​​manner, the button 201 is installed and can be pressed up and down.

[0133] Continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the spring shaft connecting assembly 3 includes a first spring shaft unit 301 and a second spring shaft unit 302, which are structurally identical and symmetrically arranged at the front of the housing 1. The structure of the first spring shaft unit 301 will be described in detail below. The first spring shaft unit 301 generally includes a housing 3011 and a shaft 3012. The housing 3011 is fixed to one side of the front of the housing 1, and the shaft 3012 is retractably inserted into the interior of the housing 3011. The front part of the shaft 3012 is located outside the front of the housing 3011 and fits against the groove 105 on one side of the front of the housing 1, so that the front end of the shaft 3012 can be detachably inserted into the connection hole 402 of the flashlight 4. By providing the first spring shaft unit 301 and the second spring shaft unit 302 to retractably connect to the connection hole 402 of the flashlight 4, the flashlight 4 is prevented from slipping, and the flashlight 4 is installed more securely.

[0134] Continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the outer shell 3011 is rectangular with an internal cavity structure. The outer shell 3011 can be fixed to the front of the housing 1 by bolts or welding. The length of the shaft 3013 is greater than the length of the outer shell 3011 so that the shaft 3013 can extend.

[0135] The front end of the shaft 3012 is arc-shaped, and the connecting hole 402 is also arc-shaped, so that the front end of the shaft 3012 can slide into the interior of the connecting hole 402.

[0136] Continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes a second limiting structure, which generally includes a first through hole (not shown in the figure), a second through hole (not shown in the figure), a shaft flange 3014, and a second elastic member 3013. The first through hole is located at the front end of the housing, and the second through hole is located at the rear end of the housing and coaxial with the first through hole. The shaft flange 3014 is formed at the front of the shaft 3012 and abuts against the front inner wall of the housing. The second elastic member 3013 is fitted onto the rear of the shaft 3012 and abuts against both the shaft flange 3014 and the rear inner wall of the housing, allowing the shaft 3012 to extend along the groove 105 so that the front end of the shaft 3012 can be detachably inserted into the connection hole 402 of the flashlight 4. When the shaft 3012 extends forward, the shaft flange 3014 abuts against the front inner wall of the housing 3011, preventing the shaft 3012 from extending excessively forward, thus preventing damage to the connection hole 402 of the flashlight 4 from the impact of the shaft 3012.

[0137] Please refer to further reading Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, both the first and second through holes are circular holes, allowing the shaft 3012 to be inserted and move forward or backward within them. The shaft flange 3014 is annular in shape, with a diameter smaller than that of the first through hole, preventing the shaft 3012 from slipping out of the housing 3011 and also preventing the front end of the shaft 3012 from being over-inserted into the connecting hole 402, thus avoiding damage to the connecting hole 402.

[0138] In one feasible embodiment, an annular protrusion is provided around the second through hole at the inner rear end of the housing 1 for the corresponding end of the second elastic member 3013 to be inserted, so that the second elastic member 3013 is squeezed with better stability when the front end of the shaft 3012 contacts the housing of the flashlight lamp 4.

[0139] The second elastic element 3013 is a spring.

[0140] Furthermore, the groove 105 is arc-shaped to fit the shaft 3012. The depth of the groove 105 is less than half the cross-section of the shaft 3012, ensuring that the flashlight 4 is subjected to a certain external pulling force and the shaft 3012 can slide out of the groove 105.

[0141] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the mounting bracket also includes a flipping structure, which generally includes a first through hole 106 in the housing, a recess 107, and a raised arc surface 403. The first through hole 106 is located in the middle of the housing 1, the recess 107 is formed at the front of the open cavity 101 of the housing, and the raised arc surface 403 is formed on the lower front of the flashlight 4 and is adapted to the recess 107. By providing the recess 107 in the housing 1 and the raised arc surface 403 on the lower front of the flashlight 4, when the flashlight's raised edge 401 separates from the locking tongue 202, and simultaneously under the force of the hydraulic device 5, the flashlight 5 can be flipped 90° for easy access.

[0142] Continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 10 In this embodiment, the lower front part of the flashlight 4 protrudes slightly downward to form a downward convex arc surface 403. When the flashlight 4 and the mounting bracket are engaged, the convex arc surface 403 and the recess 107 are tightly abutted together.

[0143] Furthermore, the front end of the housing 1 is higher than the rear end of the housing 1, which facilitates the flashlight 4 to rotate around the raised arc surface 403 and the recess 107 to provide axial force.

[0144] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes a hydraulic device 5, which generally includes a hydraulic base 501 and a hydraulic rod 502. The hydraulic base 5 is connected to the housing 1, and the hydraulic rod 502 is inserted inside the hydraulic base 501. The upper end of the hydraulic rod 502 extends outside the first through hole 106 of the housing, and is used to contact the flashlight 4 to lift the middle part of the flashlight 4, allowing the flashlight 4 to rotate around the raised arc surface 403 and the recess 107. When the flashlight's raised edge 401 separates from the locking tongue 202, the upper end of the hydraulic rod 501 extends upward through the first through hole 106 of the housing, lifting the flashlight 4 and allowing it to rotate, making it easier and faster to retrieve.

[0145] Continue reading Figure 1-3 Specifically, the upper end of the hydraulic rod 502 is located outside the first through hole 106 of the housing. When the flashlight 4 is pressed into the open cavity 101 of the housing, the lower part of the flashlight 4 presses against the upper end of the hydraulic rod 502, causing the hydraulic rod 502 to retract downward. When the button 201 drives the locking tongue 203 and the flashlight protrusion 401 to separate, the upper end of the hydraulic rod 502 pushes against the lower part of the flashlight 4, the rear end of the flashlight 4 slowly rises, the front end of the flashlight 4 flips, and the rear end of the flashlight 4 is lifted out by applying a slight external pulling force. The flashlight 4 can be dislodged from the shaft 2012, making it easy to pick up the flashlight 4.

[0146] Among them, the flashlight lamp 4 can be rotated from 70° to 90°.

[0147] Continue reading Figure 3 In this embodiment, the hydraulic base 501 and the housing 1 are detachably connected by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0148] See Figure 2 , 3 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes a charging assembly. This charging assembly generally includes a charging connector 601 and a charging pin 602. The charging connector 601 is mounted on the bottom of the housing 1 and connected to a power source. The charging pin 602 is mounted on the bottom of the housing 1 and connected to the charging connector 601. The charging pin 602 makes contact with the charging contact point 404 of the flashlight 4 for charging the flashlight.
