Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lamps, in particular to a special lamp. Background Art

[0002] In modern military operations and special mission executions, special lamps such as rifle lamps and tactical lamps have become one of the indispensable equipment. These lamps provide crucial lighting and aiming assistance functions for combatants in low-light environments such as field operations, night searches, and anti-terrorism operations. However, the switch designs of current special lamps generally adopt tail switches, button switches, or knob switches, and these designs have significant deficiencies in functionality and convenience, especially when multi-gear adjustment or multi-functional control needs to be achieved.

[0003] Specifically, in tail switches and button switches, in order to meet the requirements of multi-gear adjustment or multi-functional control, multiple buttons often need to be designed, which directly leads to an increase in the overall volume of the lamp, making it inconvenient for combatants to carry and operate. Although there are also switches with multiple functions controlled by a single button in the prior art, the function conversion of this type of switch has a fixed order and cannot be operated in reverse, restricting the rapid response ability of combatants in emergency situations; while the knob switch lacks a clear boundary during function switching and relies on hand feeling to judge during operation, which is prone to switching failure or misoperation. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a special lamp, which can solve the problem of space occupation by multiple switches and at the same time solve the problem of unclear function switching boundary of the knob switch.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its problems is as follows:

[0006] A special lamp, comprising: a lamp housing, which has a receiving cavity inside, and a control module and a power supply are arranged in the receiving cavity; a light source, which is assembled at one end of the lamp housing; a cover body, which is detachably connected to the lamp housing, and a plurality of first clamping structures are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the perforation on the cover body; a knob switch, which includes an operating end and a connecting end, the connecting end partially passes through the perforation and is electrically connected to the control module, the operating end is used to drive the knob switch to rotate, and the knob switch is provided with a second clamping structure corresponding to the first clamping structure.

[0007] By adopting the above solution, by providing a second latching structure on the knob switch that matches the first latching structure on the cover body, the gear positioning of the knob during the rotation process can be achieved. This design allows each gear to have a clear physical boundary, thereby avoiding the problem of lack of clear boundaries when the knob switch switches functions, reducing the uncertainty of relying on hand feeling judgment during operation, reducing the risk of switching failure or misoperation, and at the same time, the function can be adjusted at will through continuous rotation or reverse rotation, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0008] Furthermore, one of the first locking structure and the second locking structure is a protruding locking member, and the other is a groove engaged with the locking member.

[0009] By adopting the above solution, as the knob switch rotates, the latching piece on it moves along the groove on the cover body. Whenever the groove is aligned and engaged with the latching piece, a clear rotation stop position is formed, which corresponds to a specific function or brightness level. The contact between the physical latching piece and the groove provides intuitive tactile feedback, making it easy to confirm the operation result.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking member includes: a protrusion, the protrusion having an arc surface or a spherical surface on a side facing the groove; and an elastic member, one end of which is fixedly connected to the protrusion on a side away from the groove.

[0011] By adopting the above solution, the protrusion can slide more smoothly over the edge of the groove during the rotation process and naturally fall into the groove when reaching the predetermined position. The arc surface or spherical surface design also reduces friction and wear, and prolongs the service life of the switch. The elastic member will provide a certain elastic force to help the protrusion to be more easily inserted into the groove when reaching the groove position.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of the locking members is N1, and the number of the grooves is N2, then N2≥N1≥1.

[0013] By adopting the above solution, a one-to-many or one-to-one positioning effect can be achieved, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.

[0014] Furthermore, when the number of the grooves is more than 2, there is a height difference between the depths of the grooves.

[0015] By adopting the above solution, different groove depths correspond to different functions or brightness levels, and the changes between the levels can be intuitively felt through the height difference, so that combatants can clearly perceive the current level through tactile feedback without visual observation.

[0016] Further, the clamping member further includes a limiting sleeve. One end of the limiting sleeve is closed and the other end is open. The elastic member is located inside the limiting sleeve and is used to drive the convex block to move along the axis of the limiting sleeve.

[0017] By adopting the above solution, the convex block can move along its axial direction, ensuring that the convex block does not deviate from the predetermined trajectory during rotation, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of the knob switch.

[0018] Further, a key switch is further provided on the cover body. The key switch includes: a rubber cap which is snap-fitted on the surface of the cover body and partially protrudes from the cover body; a tactile key which is arranged in the accommodation cavity. One side of the tactile key abuts against the rubber cap and the other end is connected to the control module.

[0019] By adopting the above solution, the design of combining the key switch and the knob switch provides users with multiple operation mode options, which can be flexibly switched according to different usage scenarios and requirements.

[0020] Further, at least two assembly edges are provided on the outer surface of the lamp housing, and a guide rail clamping device is arranged on the assembly edges.

[0021] By adopting the above solution, while increasing the overall strength and stiffness of the housing, it also facilitates the installation of the guide rail clamping device.

[0022] Further, the guide rail clamping device includes: a mounting seat; a fixed clamp which is fixedly assembled at one end of the mounting seat; a movable clamp which is slidably arranged at the other end of the mounting seat and is used to approach or move away from the fixed clamp; an adjusting member which is used to adjust the distance between the movable clamp and the fixed clamp.

[0023] By adopting the above solution, by operating the adjusting member, the user can easily adjust the position of the movable clamp to meet different installation requirements.

[0024] Further, the lamp housing is threadedly connected to the cover body, and anti-slip patterns are provided on the outer surface of the lamp housing and / or the outer surface of the cover body.

[0025] By adopting the above solution, the threaded connection can provide a large fastening force to ensure the stable connection between the lamp housing and the cover body and prevent loosening or falling off during use; the anti-slip pattern design is to increase the friction force on the outer surface of the lamp housing and / or the cover body to facilitate the installation of the two.

[0026] In summary, a special lamp provided by the present utility model has the following technical effects:

[0027] 1. By adopting the knob switch design, compared with multiple button switches, the space occupied on the surface of the lamp is greatly reduced, making the overall lamp more compact and facilitating the carrying and operation of combat personnel. This design is particularly suitable for use in military equipment that requires high integration and portability.

[0028] 2. The second clamping structure on the knob switch is combined with the first clamping structure on the cover body, providing clear gear positioning for the rotation operation. This not only makes each function gear have a clear physical boundary, reducing the risk of misoperation, but also allows users to freely adjust the functions by continuously rotating or rotating in reverse order, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of operation.

[0029] 3. Since each gear has a clear physical feedback, users can accurately switch to the required function gear without relying on feel or visual confirmation, which is particularly important in emergency situations and can significantly improve the response speed and accuracy of combat personnel.

[0037] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described and discussed below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, what is described here is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] For the convenience of understanding the embodiments of the present invention, the following will take specific embodiments as examples to further explain and illustrate in conjunction with the drawings, and each embodiment does not constitute a limitation to the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the description of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0041] Embodiment 1 of the present invention is referred to Figures 1-6As shown, a special lamp is disclosed, which includes a lamp housing 1, a cover 3, a rotary switch 8 and a light source 2; a receiving cavity 11 is provided in the lamp housing 1, and a control module 12 and a power supply 13 are arranged in the receiving cavity 11; the light source 2 is assembled at one end of the lamp housing 1, the cover 3 is detachably connected to the lamp housing 1, a through hole 31 is provided on the cover 3, and a plurality of first clamping structures 4 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the through hole 31. The rotary switch 8 includes an operating end and a connecting end, the connecting end is partially inserted through the through hole 31 and electrically connected to the control module 12, the operating end is used to drive the rotary switch 8 to rotate, and the rotary switch 8 is provided with a second clamping structure 5 corresponding to the first clamping structure 4. By providing the second clamping structure 5 on the rotary switch 8 that cooperates with the first clamping structure 4 on the cover 3, the gear positioning during the rotation of the rotary knob can be achieved. This design enables each gear to have a clear physical boundary, thereby avoiding the problem of the lack of a clear boundary when the rotary switch 8 switches functions, reducing the uncertainty that needs to rely on the sense of touch during operation, reducing the risk of switching failure or misoperation, and at the same time, the function can be adjusted arbitrarily by continuous rotation or reverse rotation, improving the operation convenience.

[0042] In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 11 includes a battery cavity 111 and a light source cavity 112. The power supply 13 is arranged in the battery cavity 111, a circuit board 113 is arranged between the light source cavity 112 and the battery cavity 111, the light source 2 is arranged in the light source cavity 112, and a reflector 114 for condensing light is also arranged in the light source cavity 112. An operation cavity 32 is provided in the cover 3, the operation cavity 32 is communicated with the battery cavity 111, the control module 12 is arranged in the operation cavity 32, an elastic conductive sheet 33 for electrically connecting with the battery is arranged on one side of the control module 12 facing the battery cavity 111, and the connecting end of the rotary switch 8 is connected to the side of the control module 12 facing away from the battery cavity 111.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the rotary switch 8 sequentially includes a rotary switch body 81, a connecting member 82, a rotating member 83 and a fixing member 84 from the connecting end to the operating end. The rotary switch body 81 is arranged on the control module 12, and the rotary switch body 81, the connecting member 82 and the rotating member 83 are coaxially arranged and rotate synchronously with each other. When the user operates the rotating member 83, it drives the connecting member 82 and the rotary switch body 81 to rotate, thereby changing the circuit conducted on the control module 12, and realizing the conversion between different functions by conducting different circuits.

[0044] Preferably, one of the first latching structure 4 and the second latching structure 5 is a convex latching member 41, and the other is a groove 51 engaged with the latching member 41. As the knob switch 8 rotates, the latching member 41 thereon moves along the groove 51 on the cover 3. Whenever the groove 51 is aligned and engaged with the latching member 41, a clear rotation stop position is formed, which corresponds to a specific function or brightness level. The contact between the physical latching member 41 and the groove 51 provides intuitive tactile feedback, making it easy to confirm the operation result. In this embodiment 1, the latching member 41 includes a protrusion 411 and an elastic member 412. The protrusion 411 is curved or spherical on one side facing the groove 51. One end of the elastic member 412 is fixedly connected to the protrusion 411 on the side away from the groove 51, so that the protrusion 411 can slide more smoothly over the edge of the groove 51 during rotation and naturally fall into the groove 51 when reaching a predetermined position. The design of the arc or spherical surface also reduces friction and wear, and prolongs the service life of the switch. The elastic member 412 provides a certain elastic force to help the protrusion 411 to be more easily inserted when it reaches the position of the groove 51. The locking member 41 can be directly assembled to the rotary switch body 81, or directly assembled into the cover body 3. In order to improve the stability of the elastic member 412, a limiting sleeve 413 can be additionally provided. The limiting sleeve 413 is closed at one end and open at the other end. The elastic member 412 is located in the limiting sleeve 413, and is used to drive the protrusion 411 to move along the axis of the limiting sleeve 413, so that the protrusion 411 can move along its axis, ensuring that the protrusion 411 will not deviate from the predetermined trajectory during the rotation process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the knob switch 8.

[0045] It should be noted that the elastic member 412 is preferably a spring, and the fixing member 84 is preferably a screw.

[0046] The number of the positioning members 41 is N1, and the number of the grooves 51 is N2, then N2≥N1≥1, and thus, a one-to-many or one-to-one positioning effect can be achieved, thereby improving the adaptability of the device. Specifically, in this embodiment 1, the number of the positioning members 41 is four, and the number of the grooves 51 is also four, thereby achieving a one-to-one locking effect, thereby improving the rotation limiting effect of the knob switch 8.

[0047] In order to facilitate users to identify the difference between different gears, in some embodiments, a locking piece 41 can be provided, and a plurality of grooves 51 can be provided. When the number of the grooves 51 is more than two, there is a height difference between the depths of the grooves 51. Different depths of the grooves 51 correspond to different functions or brightness gears. The change between the gears can be intuitively felt through the height difference, so that the combatants can clearly perceive the current gear through tactile feedback without visual observation.

[0048] It should be noted that as the depth of the groove 51 changes, the diameter of the groove 51 also needs to be appropriately increased to prevent the convex block 411 from being unable to slide out of the groove 51 due to excessive depth. Therefore, a radian is designed to enable the convex block 411 to slide out.

[0049] In some scenarios, it is necessary to temporarily and briefly turn on the light without keeping it on for a long time. To meet the above functions, in some embodiments, a key switch 6 is provided on the cover body 3. The key switch 6 includes a rubber cap 61 and a tactile key 62. When the rubber cap 61 is pressed, the tactile key 62 can be triggered, and the tactile key 62 will close the separate circuit connecting the light source 2 and the battery, realizing the operation of turning on the light source 2. When the rubber cap 61 is released, the circuit can be disconnected. Specifically, the rubber cap 61 is snap-fitted on the surface of the cover body 3 to achieve a waterproof effect. A part of the rubber cap 61 protrudes from the cover body 3. The tactile key 62 is arranged in the accommodation cavity 11. One side of the tactile key 62 abuts against the rubber cap 61, and the other end is connected to the control module 12. The design of combining the key switch 6 with the rotary switch 8 provides users with a variety of operation mode options, which can be flexibly switched according to different usage scenarios and requirements.

[0050] In some scenarios, it is necessary to assemble the lamp to a special object, such as assembling it to a rifle for use. For this purpose, in some embodiments, at least two assembly ribs 14 are provided on the outer surface of the lamp housing 1, and a rail clip device 7 is provided on the assembly ribs 14. With this setting, while increasing the overall strength and stiffness of the housing, it is also convenient for the installation of the rail clip device 7. In this Embodiment 1, the rail clip device 7 includes a mounting seat 71, a fixed clip 72, a movable clip 73, and an adjusting member 74. The fixed clip 72 is fixedly assembled at one end of the mounting seat 71, the movable clip 73 is slidably arranged at the other end of the mounting seat 71, and the adjusting member 74 is used to adjust the distance between the movable clip 73 and the fixed clip 72 to make the movable clip 73 approach or move away from the fixed clip 72. Optionally, the adjusting member 74 can adopt various forms such as a knob, a lever, and a screw. The knob-type adjusting member 74 usually has the characteristics of simple operation and a large adjustment range; the lever-type adjusting member 74 may have a greater adjustment force and more accurate adjustment accuracy; the screw-type adjusting member 74 pushes the movable clip 73 to move by rotating the screw and has the characteristics of stability and reliability. No matter which form is adopted, the adjusting member 74 should have clear markings and an easy-to-operate design so that users can easily make adjustments.

[0051] In the present Embodiment 1, the lamp housing 1 is threadedly connected to the cover 3. Threaded connection can provide a relatively large fastening force to ensure a stable connection between the lamp housing 1 and the cover 3, preventing loosening or detachment during use. Anti-slip patterns 15 are provided on the outer surface of the lamp housing 1 and / or the outer surface of the cover 3 to increase the friction on the outer surface of the lamp housing 1 and / or the cover 3, facilitating the installation of the two.

[0052] In summary, a special lamp provided by the present utility model has the following technical effects:

[0053] 1. By adopting the knob switch 8 design, compared with multiple button switches 6, the space occupied on the lamp surface is greatly reduced, making the overall lamp more compact and facilitating the carrying and operation of combat personnel. This design is particularly suitable for use in military equipment that requires high integration and portability.

[0054] 2. The second positioning structure 5 on the knob switch 8 is combined with the first positioning structure 4 on the cover 3 to provide clear gear positioning for rotational operation. This not only makes each functional gear have clear physical boundaries, reducing the risk of misoperation, but also allows users to freely adjust functions by continuously rotating or rotating in reverse order, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of operation.

[0055] 3. Since each gear has clear physical feedback, users can accurately switch to the required functional gear without relying on touch or visual confirmation, which is particularly important in emergency situations and can significantly improve the response speed and accuracy of combat personnel.

[0056] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
