[0002] A pipe cleaner is a handicraft material that combines a soft touch and plasticity, and has been quite popular in the fields of DIY handicrafts, children's handicrafts, and creative design in recent years. When producing pipe cleaners, imitated angora fibers are required to wrap the metal wire, making the product surface delicate and fluffy, with a touch close to real rabbit hair, but safer and easier to clean. The angora can also be replaced with materials such as coral fleece and glitter, thus enriching the product variety.
[0003] With the diversified development of market demands, traditional pipe cleaners have obvious limitations in terms of functionality. Especially in creative application scenarios that require a lighting effect, existing technical solutions combine LED strip lights with pipe cleaners, but this design is difficult to balance safety, durability, and aesthetics. Specifically, the solution of directly combining LED strip lights with pipe cleaners has multiple technical defects: the repeated bending of the pipe cleaner is likely to cause the circuit of the LED strip light to break; when the user cuts the pipe cleaner short, it may damage the integrity of the LED circuit; the contact between the wrapped flammable fibers and the circuit poses a fire hazard; the insufficient waterproof performance of the LED strip light limits the outdoor application scenarios of the product; the discrete LED beads lack continuity in the lighting effect, affecting the overall visual effect.

[0026] Such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, an electroluminescent twisty stick includes an electroluminescent wire 1, a metal wire 2, a winding 3, and an electric control box 4. The metal wire 2 is arranged along the electroluminescent wire 1. The winding 3 is wound outside the electroluminescent wire 1 and the metal wire 2. The electric control box 4 is detachably electrically connected to the electroluminescent wire 1. The electroluminescent wire 1 includes a core electrode 1.1. A light-emitting material layer 1.3 is provided outside the core electrode 1.1. An outer electrode 1.4 is wound around the light-emitting material layer 1.3. A transparent filling layer 1.5 is wrapped outside the outer electrode 1.4.
[0027] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: By setting the metal wire 2 to shape this product, this product can be easily bent into various shapes by users and maintain the shape after being bent; and by setting the electroluminescent wire 1, this product has the characteristics of being bendable at will, cuttable, waterproof, non-heating, and continuous light emission while being able to emit light, so that this product has better safety, durability, and aesthetics to expand its application range; also by winding the winding 3 to shape the appearance of this product, various different visual effects can be brought by winding different styles of winding 3.
[0028] Electroluminescence, also known as field emission luminescence, abbreviated as EL, is a physical phenomenon in which an electric field is generated by applying a voltage across two electrodes, and the electrons excited by the electric field collide with the light-emitting center, resulting in the transition, change, and recombination of electrons between energy levels, leading to light emission.
[0029] In the electroluminescent wire 1, the core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4 are energized to form an alternating electric field. The alternating electric field causes the electrons in the light-emitting material layer 1.3 to repeatedly transition, and photons are released each time a transition occurs, thus emitting light. The transparent filling layer 1.5 is used to protect the core electrode 1.1, the insulating layer 1.2, the light-emitting material layer 1.3, and the outer electrode 1.4 inside it.
[0030] Preferably, as an embodiment, the light-emitting material layer 1.3 is made of zinc sulfide.
[0031] Preferably, as an embodiment, see Figure 2 , the metal wire 2 is adhered to the outside of the transparent filling layer 1.5 on the electroluminescent wire 1. This connection method between the metal wire 2 and the electroluminescent wire 1 has a simple manufacturing process and the advantage of low cost.
[0032] Preferably, as another embodiment, see Figure 3 , the metal wire 2 is buried in the transparent filling layer 1.5 on the electroluminescent wire 1 and does not contact the outer electrode 1.4. By burying the metal wire 2 in the electroluminescent wire 1, users will not be scratched by the metal wire, thus reducing the safety hazards of this product to optimize the user experience.
[0033] Preferably, the electronic control box 4 is connected with a male port 4.1, and the electroluminescent wire 1 is connected with a female port 1.6. The female port 1.6 is electrically connected to the core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4. The female port 1.6 is detachably matched with the male port 4.1, which is convenient for users to remove the electronic control box 4 to use this product, thus facilitating user styling and storage. Users can also connect the female port 1.6 to other power supply devices, thereby expanding the application scope of this product. The electronic control box 4 serves as a power source to supply power to the electroluminescent wire 1 and control the working state of the electroluminescent wire 1. This technology is a common technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0034] Preferably, the female port 1.6 is a USB interface or an SM terminal wire interface. The USB interface includes types such as Micro USB, Type-A, and Type-C, which are common and commonly used electronic interfaces and can facilitate user use; while the SM terminal wire is inexpensive, which helps to reduce production costs.
[0035] Preferably, an insulating layer 1.2 is provided between the core electrode 1.1 and the light-emitting material layer 1.3. The insulating layer 1.2 is made of polyvinyl chloride to evenly distribute the electric field.
[0036] Preferably, the outer electrode 1.4 is spirally wound around the light-emitting material layer 1.3 with an equal pitch, so that the formed electric field is uniform, thereby enabling the light-emitting material layer 1.3 to emit light evenly.
[0037] Preferably, the core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4 are made of copper or aluminum.
[0038] Preferably, the transparent filling layer 1.5 is made of TUP. Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer TPU is a type of elastomer that can be plasticized by heating and dissolved by solvents. It has excellent comprehensive properties such as high strength, high toughness, wear resistance, and oil resistance, and has good processing performance, which can enable this product to have a longer service life.
[0039] Preferably, the winding 3 is made of polyester filament or nylon filament. Relatively speaking, the polyester filament has higher toughness and elasticity and can withstand greater tensile force, while the nylon filament has very high mechanical strength. Using these two materials is convenient for processing this product with mechanical devices and can also be used by users for multiple styling without being easily damaged.
[0040] Preferably, as an embodiment, the winding 3 is in the form of imitation rabbit hair fiber, coral fleece, or glitter, etc.
[0041] The working process of this product is as follows:
[0042] Power is supplied to the core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4 through the sub-port 4.1 on the electronic control box 4 and the female port 1.6 on the electroluminescent wire 1. An alternating electric field is formed when the core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4 are electrified. The insulating layer 1.2 is used to store charges and uniform the electric field. The electrons in the luminescent material layer 1.3 repeatedly transition under the alternating electric field, and photons are released each time a transition occurs, thus emitting light. The transparent filling layer 1.5 is used to protect the core electrode 1.1, the insulating layer 1.2, the luminescent material layer 1.3, and the outer electrode 1.4 inside it.
[0043] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: The product is shaped by setting the metal wire 2, so that the product can be easily bent into various shapes by users and maintain the shape after being bent; and by setting the electroluminescent wire 1, the product has the characteristics of being bendable at will, cuttable, waterproof, non-heating, and continuous lighting while being able to emit light, thus making the product have better safety, durability, and aesthetics to expand its application scope; also, the appearance of the product is shaped by winding the winding object 3, and various different visual effects can be brought by winding different styles of winding objects 3; the button 4.1 is set to switch the lighting frequency of the electroluminescent wire 1; the indicator light 4.2 is set to flash in the same frequency as the electroluminescent wire 1 to facilitate users to judge the operating condition of the product.
