[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A flashlight that can be adapted to multiple types of batteries includes a flashlight body 1, the flashlight body 1 includes a lamp barrel 11, a lamp head 12, a lamp cover 13 and a tail cover 14, the lamp head 12 and the lamp cover 13 are arranged at one end of the lamp barrel 11 in the length direction, and the tail cover 14 is arranged at the other end of the lamp barrel 11 in the length direction. The flashlight also includes a control component 2 and a battery component 3 arranged on the flashlight body 1, the battery component 3 is used to supply power to the control component 2, the control component 2 is used to electrically control the switch and various functions of the flashlight, and the lamp barrel 11 is provided with power and function control buttons.

[0033] Specifically, the battery assembly 3 includes a battery kit 31, and the battery kit 31 includes a kit body 311 arranged on the flashlight body 1. In the present embodiment, the kit body 311 is arranged on the lamp tube 11, and a plurality of limit pins 3112 are arranged on one side in the length direction of the kit body 311. The lamp tube 11 has a limit mounting hole that cooperates with the limit pins 3112, and the kit body 311 is installed in the lamp tube 11 through the limit pins 3112.

[0034] The interior of the kit body 311 has a battery compartment for installing batteries. In order to adapt to batteries of different models and specifications, the battery kit 31 is provided with a plurality of adjustment blocks 312 for adjusting the size of the battery compartment, and the plurality of adjustment blocks 312 are laid along the inner circle direction of the kit body 311, and the shape of the adjustment blocks 312 is adapted to the shape of the inner circle of the kit body 311. In this embodiment, there are three adjustment blocks 312, and the three adjustment blocks 312 are evenly arranged along the inner circle direction of the kit body 311, and the adjustment blocks 312 are arranged in an arc shape to adapt to the shape of the battery.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjustment block 312 is rotatably connected to the kit body 311, and the adjustment block 312 has a first adaptation state and a second adaptation state. By rotating the adjustment block 312, the first adaptation state and the second adaptation state can be switched to adapt to the installation of batteries of different models. More specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment block 312 has a fixed side 3121 and a swinging side 3122, the fixed side 3121 has a protruding pin 31211, the fixed side 3121 is rotatably connected to the kit body 311 through the protruding pin 31211, and the swinging side 3122 can be rotated with the fixed side 3121 as the rotation axis to switch to the first adaptation state or the second adaptation state. When the swinging sides 3122 of the three adjustment blocks 312 are all swung to fit the inner circle of the kit body 311, it is the first adaptation state, the volume of the battery compartment is larger, and the first type of battery can be adapted; and when the swinging sides 3122 of the three adjustment blocks 312 are all swung to the second adaptation state, the arched part of the arc-shaped adjustment block 312 will form a barrier in the battery compartment, so that the volume of the battery compartment is reduced, and the second type of battery can be adapted.

[0036] In order to limit the adjustment block 312, a plurality of positioning grooves 3111 are provided on both sides of the length direction of the kit body 311. The plurality of positioning grooves 3111 are provided along the edge direction of the kit body 311. Accordingly, the swing side 3122 has a corresponding positioning member 31221. In this embodiment, the positioning member 31221 is cylindrical. When the adjustment block 312 is rotated to the first adaptation state or the second adaptation state, the positioning member 31221 will be engaged with the positioning groove 3111. By providing the positioning member 31221 and the positioning groove 3111, on the one hand, the adjustment block 312 can be limited and fixed when switching states. On the other hand, it is known that the adjustment block 312 has been installed in place without observing the adjustment block 312. Especially in the case of insufficient light, the mode can be switched conveniently to replace the battery.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The control assembly 2 includes a negative pole spring 21 disposed at one end of the flashlight body 1 and a control module 22 disposed at the other end of the flashlight body 1, and the control module 22 is electrically connected to the negative pole spring 21. In this embodiment, the negative pole spring 21 is disposed on the side of the tail cover 14 facing the lamp barrel 11, and the negative pole spring 21 faces the battery kit 31. When the battery is loaded, the negative pole of the battery will contact the negative pole spring 21, and the negative pole spring 21 will lift the battery so that the positive pole of the battery contacts the control module 22, and the negative pole spring 21 is electrically connected to the control module 22 through the lamp barrel 11. Correspondingly, the control module 22 includes a support block 221, and the support block 221 is disposed on the lamp holder 12. A positive pole pin 222 and a plurality of conductive blocks 223 electrically connected to the negative pole spring 21 are disposed on one side of the support block 221 close to the lamp barrel 11. The conductive block 223 can specifically be a copper block. A circuit board is also provided on the support block 221 , and the circuit board is electrically connected to the conductive block 223 and the positive electrode ejector pin 222 . After the battery supplies power, the circuit board can control various functions of the flashlight.

[0038] At the same time, the control component 2 will generate a lot of heat during operation, especially when it is running for a long time. In order to ensure that the flashlight can operate normally for a long time, the support block 221 is also provided with a heat dissipation block 224. The heat dissipation block 224 is arranged on the side of the support block 221 away from the adjustment block 312. The heat dissipation block 224 is connected to the support block 221 by a plurality of heat-conducting columns for fixation. When the flashlight is running, the heat generated by the control component 2 can be accelerated through the heat-conducting columns and the support block 221 to conduct, thereby ensuring the operating temperature of the control component 2.

[0039] In addition, the flashlight further includes a charging assembly 4, which includes a charging port 41 disposed on the flashlight body 1, and the charging port 41 is electrically connected to the control assembly 2. When a rechargeable battery is installed in the flashlight, the rechargeable battery can be charged through the charging port 41. A blocking block 42 for opening and closing the charging port 41 is rotatably connected to the charging port 41. When charging is completed, the charging hole can be blocked by the blocking block 42, thereby preventing dust and debris from entering the charging port 41 and causing damage.

[0040] When a non-rechargeable battery is loaded, in order to avoid damage to the flashlight and the battery due to misconnection to the charging port 41, the support block 221 is also provided with a limit button 225 for limiting the function of the flashlight. The limit button 225 has a push pin 2251 facing the adjustment block 312, and the adjustment block 312 abuts against or disengages from the push pin 2251. In this embodiment, when the adjustment block 312 rotates to the first adaptation state, the adjustment block 312 fits in the kit body 311 and does not contact the push pin 2251. At this time, the rechargeable battery that is adapted and loaded can be charged through the charging port 41; and when the adjustment block 312 rotates to the second adaptation state, the adjustment block 312 will contact the push pin 2251 and lift the push pin 2251. At this time, the function of the charging port 41 will be limited, and even if the charging port 41 is powered, the battery cannot be powered, thereby protecting the flashlight and the battery. It can be understood that the limit button 225 is not limited to limiting the function of the charging port 41, but can also limit other functions of the flashlight, which can be selected according to the situation.

[0041] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0042] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
