Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0024] Example:
[0025] Figure 1-8 This invention illustrates a preferred embodiment of a multifunctional night light. Specifically, the multifunctional night light includes an inner shell 4, an outer shell 1 disposed outside the inner shell 4, and a base 2 disposed at the lower end of the outer shell 1. The lower ends of both the inner shell 4 and the outer shell 1 are snapped into the base 2. The base 2 is provided with a circuit board 6, an infrared receiver 7, an infrared transmitter 8, and a surface-mount light 9. The infrared receiver 7, infrared transmitter 8, and surface-mount light 9 are all disposed on the circuit board 6. The base 2 is provided with a first support frame 11, and the first support frame 11 is provided with a driving assembly. The driving assembly is used to drive a swing assembly disposed on the first support frame 11 to reciprocate horizontally. The swing assembly is provided with a camera 3 connected to the circuit board 6.
[0026] In this invention, a camera 3 is provided on the base 2 to facilitate real-time monitoring and recording of people getting up at night. The swing component is driven by the drive component to swing back and forth, thereby expanding the monitoring range of the camera 3 and making the night light more practical.
[0027] Specifically, the swing assembly includes a connecting rod 5, one end of which is connected to the camera 3, and the other end is connected to a fan-shaped plate 10. A first rotating rod 13 is vertically mounted on the base 2, with its upper end rotatably connected to the fan-shaped plate 10. The end of the fan-shaped plate 10 away from the connecting rod 5 is a fan-shaped surface, and the fan-shaped surface of the fan-shaped plate 10 has multiple equidistantly distributed gear teeth 23. A sliding rod 25 with a square cross-section is mounted on the first support frame 11. The sliding rod 25 has horizontal teeth 24 that mesh with the gear teeth 23. The sliding rod 25 is connected to the drive assembly. An opening is provided in the middle of the connecting rod 5. A rotating disk 26 is provided on the base 2 below the connecting rod 5. A limiting block 27 is provided on the rotating disk 26 and is positioned within the opening. The drive assembly includes a motor 28, and the sliding rod 2... Both ends of the connecting rod 5 are fitted onto the first support frame 11, and the first support frame 11 is used to restrict the rotation of the connecting rod 5. One end of the sliding rod 25 is provided with a screw hole, and a screw 29 is threaded into the screw hole. A differential 30 is provided on the screw 29. The output end of the motor 28 is connected to the differential 30. The motor 28 drives the screw 29 to rotate through the differential 30. During the rotation of the screw 29, the sliding rod 25 is driven to slide back and forth along the first support frame 11, so that the horizontal teeth 24 on the sliding rod 25 drive the gear teeth 23 to move, and drive the sector plate 10 to rotate along the first rotating rod 13. During the rotation of the sector plate 10, the limiting block 27 set in the opening of the connecting rod 5 is moved. During the rotation of the sector plate 10, the rotation of the disc restricts the rotation range of the connecting rod 5, thereby allowing the camera 3 connected to the connecting rod 5 to rotate within a certain range. The differential 30 allows for controllable movement speed of the sliding rod 25, which in turn facilitates adjustment of the rotation speed of the camera 3. The angle of the camera 3 can be adjusted by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 28. At the same time, the camera 3 is placed inside the inner shell 4, which provides concealment and also makes the night light multifunctional.
[0028] The base 2 has a battery 12 on one end and a groove 14 on the other end. The groove 14 has a Type-C power charging port 15 for charging and storing energy in the battery 12. The battery 12 is used to provide power to the entire night light device through the Type-C power charging port 15.
[0029] The base 2 is provided with an annular plate 16. The outer wall of the annular plate 16 is provided with a first annular protrusion 17. The first annular protrusion 17 is provided with a second support frame 31 for supporting the circuit board 6, and the second support frame 31 is provided with a second annular protrusion 18. A first annular groove 19 is formed between the first annular protrusion 17 and the second annular protrusion 18. A third annular protrusion 20 is provided between the inner walls of the inner shell 4. The third annular protrusion 20 is engaged in the first annular groove 19. A second annular groove 21 is formed between the first annular protrusion 17 and the base 2. A fourth annular protrusion 22 is provided on the lower inner wall of the outer shell 1. The fourth annular protrusion 22 is engaged in the second annular groove 21. During installation, the third annular protrusion 20 on the inner shell 4 is engaged in the first annular groove 19, and the fourth annular protrusion 22 on the outer shell 1 is engaged in the second annular groove 21, so that the inner shell 4 and the base 2, and the outer shell 1 and the base 2 can be stably connected.
[0030] Both the inner shell 4 and the outer shell 1 are made of transparent gel material, and a one-way light-transmitting film is provided on the inner side of the outer shell 1.
[0031] Although the invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that many other modifications and implementations can be devised by those skilled in the art, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various variations and modifications can be made to the components and / or layout of the subject matter arrangement within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims. Besides variations and modifications to the components and / or layout, other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
