Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a working lamp, in particular to a foldable automobile inspection lamp, which is suitable for lighting in different occasions such as automobile maintenance. Background Art

[0002] There are many types of car maintenance work lights on the market, among which the hood retractable work lights and triangular bracket work lights are the most popular. Among them, the triangular bracket work lights are large in size, heavy and inconvenient to carry, and are subject to certain limitations during use. The hood retractable work lights are installed on the hood through a hook for use, and most of them can be retracted and folded, but they also have the following defects during use:

[0003] 1. When installed on the hood for maintenance, the irradiation area can only be adjusted by rotating the handles on both sides, and the irradiation area cannot be increased by a single rotation angle.

[0004] 2. The battery is installed in the handle. When folded into a triangle, the center of gravity is unstable and it is easy to fall down. The handle area is limited and the battery capacity is limited.

[0005] 3. When folded into a triangle, it needs to be disassembled and reassembled, which is not convenient for users. If you want to realize quick plug and unplug and fold it into a triangle, the structure is more complicated, the production difficulty is high, it is not practical, and it can only produce one color light. After folding into a triangle, because the handle part cannot reflect light, the upper half of the reflective triangle is missing, and the triangle seen by the following car is incomplete, which is easy to cause misjudgment.

[0006] 4. The folding joint structure is large in size, reducing the area of ​​the lamp

[0007] 5. It is not compact after folding, there is a gap between each lamp body, and the storage volume is large

[0008] 6. The battery is installed in the handle. The circuit inside the lamp body is very long, which will attenuate, causing the light on the side close to the lamp body to be bright and the light on the side far away from the lamp body to be dim. In addition, the handle is larger than the other, which is not beautiful.

[0009] After investigation, the existing Chinese patent number CN201220479590, "A kind of lighting work lamp for automobile maintenance", includes a work lamp body equipped with lighting LED lamp beads and lithium batteries, hooks are installed at both ends of the work lamp body; a rotating adjustment seat is installed between the work lamp body and the hook; and a folding seat is installed in the middle of the work lamp body.
