[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] An outdoor flashlight with a backup power supply comprises a barrel 1, a ready-to-use battery 3 and a backup battery 4. A working battery compartment 5, a placement compartment 6 and a coupling groove 8 are provided inside the barrel 1. The working battery compartment 5, the placement compartment 6 and the coupling groove 8 form a shell, and the shell is connected to the barrel 1 by ultrasonic welding to facilitate production and assembly. A plug rod 13 is inserted into the coupling groove 8, and a pressure plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug rod 13. The outer wall of the pressure plate 11 and the inner wall of the working battery compartment 5 are respectively integrated with a contact electrode 2 10 and a contact electrode 1 7, and a positioning component for positioning the pressure plate 11 is provided between the barrel 1 and the pressure plate 11. The ready-to-use battery 3 and the backup battery 4 are respectively placed inside the working battery compartment 5 and the placement compartment 6;
[0025] The spare battery 4 is placed in the placement compartment 6, and the ready-to-use battery 3 is placed in the working battery compartment 5 according to the corresponding orientation requirements. The insertion rod 13 is inserted into the coupling groove 8, and the cover 2 is rotated. While the horizontal end of the cover 2 is screwed together with the cylinder 1, the cover 2 pushes the pressure plate 11 forward until the vertical end of the cover 2 overlaps the outer wall of the cylinder 1. At this time, the contact electrode 10 on the pressure plate 11 contacts the ready-to-use battery 3, and the convex seat 12 is pressed on the spare battery 4. At this time, the ready-to-use battery 3 is used as a power supply, so that the flashlight can be used stably. When the ready-to-use battery 3 is suddenly out of power, the cover 2 is unscrewed, and the ready-to-use battery 3 and the spare battery 4 are swapped to continue using the flashlight, thereby improving the use effect of the outdoor flashlight;
[0026] It should be noted that the technical means of realizing power supply of a flashlight by cooperating with a battery through contact electrode 1 7 and contact electrode 2 10 is relatively common in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0027] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the outer wall of the insertion rod 13 is fixedly connected with a convex strip 14, and a limiting groove 9 is provided inside the cylinder 1, and the limiting groove 9 is communicated with the coupling groove 8, so that the pressure plate 11 and the cover 2 can rotate relatively. At the same time, the convex strip 14 is fixed on the outer wall of the insertion rod 13, and when the insertion rod 13 is coupled to the coupling groove 8, the convex strip 14 is coupled to the limiting groove 9, so that when the cover 2 and the cylinder 1 are screwed together and the pressure plate 11 is pushed, the axial position of the pressure plate 11 will not change, so that the contact electrode 2 10 and the instant battery 3 as well as the convex seat 12 and the spare battery 4 can all correspond stably.
[0028] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a cover 2 screwed together with the cylinder 1, and the cover 2 is rotatably connected to the pressure plate 11 through a rotating shaft. When the horizontal end of the cover 2 is screwed together with the cylinder 1, the cover 2 pushes the pressure plate 11 forward until the vertical end of the cover 2 overlaps the outer wall of the cylinder 1. The cross-section of the cover 2 is a T-shaped structure, and the horizontal end of the cover 2 is screwed together with the inner wall of the cylinder 1, and the vertical end of the cover 2 overlaps the outer wall of the cylinder 1, so as to avoid excessive screwing between the cover 2 and the cylinder 1. The insertion rod 13 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 11 by screws to ensure the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the insertion rod 13. A boss 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure plate 11 away from the cover 2, and the outer wall of the boss 12 abuts against the outer wall of the backup battery 4. Considering the setting of the contact electrode 10, there will be a corresponding gap between the pressure plate 11 and the backup battery 4. The boss 12 is used to fill the gap to avoid shaking of the backup battery 4.
[0029] Working principle: the spare battery 4 is placed in the placement compartment 6, and the ready-to-use battery 3 is placed in the working battery compartment 5 according to the corresponding orientation requirements, the insertion rod 13 is inserted into the coupling groove 8, the cover 2 is rotated, and the horizontal end of the cover 2 is screwed together with the cylinder 1, while the cover 2 pushes the pressure plate 11 forward until the vertical end of the cover 2 overlaps the outer wall of the cylinder 1. At this time, the contact electrode 10 on the pressure plate 11 contacts the ready-to-use battery 3, and the convex seat 12 is pressed on the spare battery 4. At this time, the ready-to-use battery 3 is used as the power supply, so that the flashlight can be used stably. When the ready-to-use battery 3 is suddenly out of power, the cover 2 is screwed together. Open the sealing cover 2, swap the positions of the instant battery 3 and the spare battery 4, and the flashlight can continue to be used, thereby improving the use effect of the outdoor flashlight. The pressing plate 11 and the sealing cover 2 can rotate relative to each other, and at the same time, the convex strip 14 is fixed on the outer wall of the insertion rod 13. When the insertion rod 13 is combined with the combining groove 8, the convex strip 14 is combined with the limiting groove 9. In this way, when the sealing cover 2 is screwed together with the cylinder 1 and the pressing plate 11 is pushed, the axial position of the pressing plate 11 will not change, so that the contact electrode 10 and the instant battery 3 as well as the convex seat 12 and the spare battery 4 can all correspond stably.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
