Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lighting equipment, in particular to a lighting equipment with a low mispress key. Background Art

[0002] At present, lighting equipment such as flashlights have been widely used. Traditional flashlights have only one switch at the tail, which can only be used to turn the power on and off. In order to adapt to the changing application environment, flashlights with double switches at the tail have appeared. The double-button design allows users to quickly operate the flashlight with one hand without changing the holding posture. For example, one button can be used to turn the flashlight on and off, and the other button can be used to switch the dimming to strobe mode or switch the lighting intensity level. This is very convenient for law enforcement officers or soldiers who use flashlights in dark environments, making the flashlight more flexible in tactical situations.

[0003] Generally, flashlights are designed with double tail switches, and the power on / off and dimming modes are designed at the tail. However, the tail space of the flashlight is narrow, and the crowded end surface makes the button contact area small, and it is difficult to press, which brings inconvenience to operation. For this reason, in the prior art, a pressure plate is placed above the sub-button, and the sub-button is triggered and released by pressing the pressure plate; because the surface area of ​​the pressure plate is larger than that of the sub-button, the user's finger contact area is increased, thereby improving the convenience of triggering the sub-button. However, when using this type of button structure, it is very easy for the user to accidentally touch the pressure plate when operating the main button, resulting in the sub-button (the button triggered by the pressure plate) being accidentally triggered.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology still needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a lighting device with low mispress keys in view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, so as to reduce the probability of the keys matched with the pressure plate being mispressed.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:

[0007] A lighting device with a low mispress key, comprising a tail cover, a first key and a second key, and further comprising:

[0017] The lighting device with low mispress keys further comprises:

[0018] A mounting portion, disposed on the tail cover; the mounting portion is located between the first button and the second button, and is detachably rotatably connected to the pressing plate;

[0019] When the second button is in a released state, the lower surface of the mounting portion contacts the second button.

[0020] In the lighting device with a low mis-press key, the surface of the mounting portion is inclined and is located on the same plane as the first inclined surface.

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer and more specific, the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0033] The utility model provides a lighting device with a low mis-press key, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the lighting device with low mispress buttons includes a tail cover 1, a first button 2, a second button 3 and a pressure plate 4; the first button 2 and the second button 3 are both arranged on the tail cover 1 and can move up and down, so as to be triggered and released; the pressure plate 4 is rotatably connected to the tail cover 1 and covers the top of the second button 3; the second button 3 is located on the rotation path of the pressure plate 4, then in a natural state, the pressure plate 4 does not produce pressure on the second button 3, and the second button 3 is in a released state; when the user's finger presses down on the pressure plate 4, the pressure plate 4 rotates relative to the tail cover 1 and presses down the second button 3, so as to trigger the second button 3; when the user's finger releases the pressure plate 4, the second button 3 is reset and holds the pressure plate 4 to reset, and the second button 3 returns to the released state.

[0034] It can be understood that the first button 2 can be a main button, and the second button 3 can be a sub-button; or the first button 2 can be a sub-button, and the second button 3 can be a main button; the present application does not specifically limit the functions of the first button 2 and the second button 3, such as: the first button 2 is used to control the on and off of the power supply, and the second button 3 is used for dimming (adjusting the lighting mode and gear); or the first button 2 is used for dimming, and the second button 3 is used to control the on and off of the power supply. The pressing plate 4 is used to increase the contact area between the second button 3 and the user's finger, thereby improving the convenience of pressing and triggering the second button 3. The pressing plate 4 can be a metal pressing plate 4, a plastic pressing plate 4, or a rubber pressing plate 4.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the pressing plate 4 has a first inclined surface 41 and a second inclined surface 42; the first inclined surface 41 is located between the second inclined surface 42 and the first button 2, and is connected to the second inclined surface 42; the second inclined surface 42 is inclined downward relative to the first inclined surface 41; the end of the first inclined surface 41 close to the second inclined surface 42 is lower than the end close to the first button 2, and the end of the second inclined surface 42 away from the first inclined surface 41 is lower than the end close to the first inclined surface 41.

[0036] When the user uses the lighting device with low error pressure buttons, the user usually places the lighting device with low error pressure buttons vertically with the tail cover 1 facing upwards, and then uses the thumb to trigger the first button 2 or the second button 3. Since the user holds the body of the lighting device with low error pressure buttons with the other four fingers, when the thumb presses the first button 2 (such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown), the thumb is parallel to the surface of the first key 2, and a first angle α1 is formed at the first joint of the thumb (as shown Figure 7 As shown), the first inclined surface 41 and the second inclined surface 42 form a second angle α2 (as shown Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the first angle α1 does not match the first angle α1, so when the user uses the thumb to trigger the first button 2, the surface of the pressure plate 4 (the surface formed by the connection of the first inclined surface 41 and the second inclined surface 42) effectively avoids the thumb from moving downward, and the probability of accidentally touching the pressure plate 4 is reduced by the inclination of the first inclined surface 41 and the second inclined surface 42, thereby reducing the probability of accidentally touching the second button 3 when the first button 2 is triggered.

[0037] At the same time, since the surface of the pressing plate 4 is formed by connecting the first inclined surface 41 and the second inclined surface 42, compared with the flat surface of the pressing plate 4, the surface of the pressing plate 4 in the present application increases the contact area with the user's thumb, so that the contact area achieved in the limited area of ​​the surface of the pressing plate 4 is maximized.

[0038] It should be noted that, when the second button 3 is in the released state, the pressure plate 4 is lower than the first button 2, that is, when the second button 3 is in the released state, the surface of the pressure plate 4 is in the rearmost position, and the end of the first slope 41 close to the first button 2 is lower than the first button 2, and the end of the first slope 41 close to the second slope 42 is lower than the end close to the first button 2, so that the surface of the pressure plate 4 is lower than the first button 2 as a whole, thereby reducing or even eliminating the contact between the user's thumb and the pressure plate 4 when pressing the first button 2.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the second angle α2 is an obtuse angle, so that after the user adjusts the state of the first button 2, the user can lift the thumb without moving the proximal phalanx of the thumb, and apply pressure to the second inclined surface 42 through the distal phalanx, thereby triggering the second button 3.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, a downwardly recessed groove 5 is provided on the tail cover 1 , the first button 2 is located outside the groove 5 , and the second button 3 is provided at the bottom of the groove 5 .

[0041] Specifically, the plane where the first button 2 is located on the tail cover 1 and the plane where the second button 3 is located on the tail cover 1 have a certain height difference, and Figure 1As shown, the plane 200 where the second button 3 is located on the tail cover 1 is lower than the plane 100 where the first button 2 is located on the tail cover 1. The groove 5 is used to accommodate the second button 3 and provide a height difference between the first button 2 and the second button 3; at the same time, the groove 5 can also be used to accommodate fingers. When the pressure plate 4 is not used to trigger the second button 3, the user's thumb can be placed in the groove 5 to trigger the second button 3. In this way, under the action of the groove 5, not only can the second button 3 be effectively avoided from being accidentally touched when the first button 2 is pressed, but also the first button 2 can be effectively avoided from being accidentally touched when the second button 3 is pressed.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lighting device with a low mispress button further includes two first enclosures 6 ; the two first enclosures 6 are arranged on the tail cover 1 and located on both sides of the groove 5 ; the second button 3 is located between the two first enclosures 6 .

[0043] Specifically, the pressure plate 4 and the second button 3 are both located between the two first enclosures 6; the arrangement direction of the two first enclosures 6 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first buttons 2 and the second buttons 3; the two first enclosures 6 block the second button 3 from both sides of the groove 5, thereby preventing the user from accidentally pressing the pressure plate 4 from other directions.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lighting device with low mispress key further includes two second enclosures 7; the two second enclosures 7 are arranged on the tail cover 1 and outside the groove 5; the first key 2 is located between the two second enclosures 7; the arrangement direction of the two second enclosures 7 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the two first enclosures 6. The two second enclosures 7 shield the first key 2 from both sides of the first key 2, thereby preventing the user from accidentally pressing the first key 2 from other directions.

[0045] The first enclosure 6 is lower than the second enclosure 7, so that the second enclosure 7 is more suitable for pressing the first button 2, and the first enclosure 6 is more suitable for pressing the second button 3, thereby preventing the first enclosure 6 from causing adverse interference to the thumb when the user switches from pressing the first button 2 to pressing the second button 3, thereby improving the convenience of the user switching between pressing the first button 2 and the second button 3.

[0046] The surface 61 of the first enclosure 6 is a curved surface (eg Figure 3As shown), the curved surface is adapted to the inclined transition of the first inclined surface 41 and the second inclined surface 42, which makes it easy to judge the position of the pressure plate 4 by touching the curved surface in a dark environment, and can also improve the overall coordination of the appearance of the tail cover 1 when viewed from the side.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the first inclined surface 41 and / or the second inclined surface 42 is provided with an anti-slip portion 8, so that the friction between the pressing plate 4 and the user's thumb is increased by the anti-slip portion 8, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the opening efficiency of the second button 3.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lighting device with low mispress buttons further includes a mounting portion 9, which is disposed on the tail cover 1; the mounting portion 9 is located between the first button 2 and the second button 3, and is detachably rotatably connected to the pressure plate 4.

[0049] When the second button 3 is in the released state, the lower surface 92 (eg Figure 8 The mounting portion 9 is shown in the figure) in contact with the second button 3; that is, when the second button 3 is in the highest position, the lower surface 92 of the mounting portion 9 limits the second button 3. Specifically, a receiving groove is provided on the pressing plate 4, a part of the mounting portion 9 is located in the receiving groove, and the pressing plate 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting portion 9 and the first enclosure 6 respectively through a pin shaft. The mounting portion 9 can isolate the first button 2 and the second button 3, and limit the first button 2 and the second button 3 at the same time. When the user's thumb presses the first button 2, the contact between the user's thumb and the pressing plate 4 can be effectively reduced due to the isolation effect of the mounting portion 9.

[0050] In one implementation of the present embodiment, the surface of the mounting portion 9 is inclined and is located on the same plane as the first inclined surface 41, so that the surface of the mounting portion 9 forms an extension of the first inclined surface 41 in the direction close to the first button 2. When the user's thumb presses the first button 2, the surface of the mounting portion 9 can also produce a certain avoidance effect for the user's thumb, further increasing the probability of the second button 3 being pressed by mistake.

[0051] In one implementation of this embodiment, Figure 8As shown, the mounting portion 9 is provided with a receiving groove 91, and the receiving groove 91 is arranged concave from bottom to top; a part of the first button 2 is located in the receiving groove 91, and when the first button 2 is in a released state (that is, when the first button 2 is in the highest position), the first button 2 contacts the top wall of the receiving groove 91. The receiving groove 91 increases the contact area between the first button 2 and the mounting portion 9, and the top wall of the receiving groove 91 can be used to limit the first button 2.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, the inclination angle b1 of the first inclined surface 41 relative to the horizontal plane is 5° to 30°, and the inclination angle b2 of the second inclined surface 42 relative to the horizontal plane is 30° to 70°, so that the inclination degree of the surface of the pressure plate 4 that contacts the user's thumb is more ergonomically designed and more conducive to the user's thumb pressing.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a toggle button 10 (such as a quick-close toggle button) is also provided on the side of the tail cover 1; the groove 5 and the two first enclosures 6 together form an accommodating space, and the mounting portion 9 and the second button 3 are both located in the accommodating space; in order to maintain the visual consistency of the toggle button 10 and the accommodating space, the width of the accommodating space close to the toggle button 10 is smaller than the width of the accommodating space close to the first button 2.

[0054] It should be understood that the application of the present invention is not limited to the above examples. For ordinary technicians in this field, improvements or changes can be made according to the above description. All these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
