Detailed Embodiments

[0023] As Figure 1 shown, a schematic exploded view of the present utility model is shown therein.

[0024] A lighting control device includes a receiving sleeve 1. The receiving sleeve 1 is tubular with a closed bottom end 30.

The outer wall of the contact edge 4 can be slightly higher than the outer wall of the receiving sleeve 1 or integrated with the outer wall of the receiving sleeve 1. The diameter of the receiving sleeve 1 gradually decreases slightly from left (head) to right (bottom end), so that the receiving sleeve 1 as a whole presents a slow conical barrel-like structure.

[0025] On the inner side of the right end of the end cap 11, an end cap thread 32 adapted to the head thread 5 is formed ( Figure 2 as shown in). On the outer side of the left end of the end cap 11, an approximately rectangular interface hole 12, a wire passing hole 33, and a switch hole 19 are respectively provided. On the outer side of the end cap 11, there is also a switch protection cap 14 adapted to the switch hole 19. The interface hole 12 is generally set to be adapted to a standard USB interface. The wire passing hole 33 is a circular hole in some examples of the present invention, and then a separate sealing component is used to maintain the seal between the control wire 10, the sealing component, and the wire passing hole 33. In some other examples of the present invention, the problem of passing and sealing the control wire can be solved directly by providing a control wire passing hole 36 adapted to the number and shape of the control wires 10. An interface hole protection cover 13 adapted to the interface hole is also provided on the end cap 11. The interface hole protection cover 13 is adapted to a part of the interface hole 12 and can be elastically clamped in the interface hole 12, and its other end extends out a connecting piece 38, which is rotatably fixed on the end cap 11. In some examples of the present invention, the interface hole protection cover 13 is processed into a structure similar to a convex cap, and the protruding part is received in the interface hole 12 and fits with its inner wall, and the edge part fits with the outer wall of the end cap 11 to form a further seal. The way the connecting piece 38 is connected to the end cap 11 is, in some examples, set to provide a circular hole on the end cap 11, and the cross-section of the tail end of the connecting piece 38 is set to be I-shaped, and the parts exceeding the diameter of the circular hole respectively fit on the inner and outer side surfaces of the end cap 11. In some examples of the present invention, the switch protection cap 14 is set to be a straw hat-like structure made of a flexible material, and the outer edge with a larger diameter is placed on the inner side of the end cap 11 and fits with the inner wall of the end cap to provide a seal.

[0026] The circuit board 6 is accommodated within the end cap 11, on which there are respectively provided a USB interface 7, in particular it can be a USB-C interface, and a switch 8. The switch 8 has a key 20 that can be pressed, and in some instances, the key 20 can have two or more strokes. An LED light emitter can be provided on the side of the switch 8 or at other possible positions on the circuit board 6. The LED light emitter can be one or more, and each LED light emitter can also be of a single color or multiple colors. There is also provided a screw hole 9 on the circuit board 6. The control line 10 is connected to the circuit board through two connection points (not shown in the figure) provided on the circuit board 6.

[0027] A battery 15, which is preferably a rechargeable or ordinary battery in some instances, has two battery connection lines 16 and a battery connector 17 to discharge or charge the battery 15 in some cases.

[0028] As Figure 2 shown, there is shown a structural exploded enlarged view of the end cap of the lighting control device of the present utility model and some components adapted thereto from another angle. It shows some details of the inner side of the end cap 11 and the circuit board 6 of the lighting control device of the present utility model from another angle. Four cuboid-like support blocks 22, a snap-in piece 23, and a screw fixing block 24 are provided on the inner wall of the end cap 11, and they are arranged at equal angles as a whole. Among them, the snap-in piece 23 and the screw fixing block are arranged linearly opposite to each other, and the four support blocks are also arranged linearly opposite to each other in pairs. A circuit board fixing notch 28 is provided on the circuit board 6, and the overall size of the notch 28 is preferably set to be smaller than the snap-in piece 23 in some instances, so that the circuit board 6 can be fixed on the end cap 11 on one side of the snap-in piece without axial movement. A prefabricated hole is provided on the screw fixing block 24. A screw 18 passes through the screw hole 9 on the right side of the circuit board 6 and is screwed into the prefabricated hole to further fix the circuit board 6 on the end cap 11. A circuit board battery connector 21 is also provided on the right side of the circuit board 6, which is adapted to the battery connector 17 to disassemble or connect the battery 15. An end cap thread 32 is also provided on the inner side of the end cap 11. An interface hole protection cover protrusion 40 is provided on the interface hole protection cover 13.

[0029] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, in the lighting control device of the present utility model, in some instances, the receiving sleeve 1, the hook 2, and the protrusion 3 can be integrally formed. The receiving sleeve 1 forms a generally conical tubular receiving structure with the opening diameter gradually slightly decreasing from the top to the bottom end 30 diameter. When in use, the battery 15 is placed into the receiving sleeve, and due to the shape and material elasticity of the receiving sleeve 1, the battery 15 can be relatively less likely to slide to a certain extent. The battery 15 is connected to the battery connector 17 through the battery connecting wire 16. The battery connector 17 is adapted to the circuit board battery connector 21 to be further capable of connecting to the relevant power supply and / or charging contacts on the circuit board 6. On the circuit board 6, except for the positions occupied by components such as the USB interface 7 and the switch 8, other positions can easily accommodate an integrated control circuit (not shown in the figure) with functions such as control, charge and discharge. Since the available positions are sufficient, and both the front and back sides of the circuit board 6 can be used to place such integrated control circuits, the lighting control device of the present utility model can accommodate various integrated control circuits of arbitrary sizes commonly used in the art based on its novel structure and can ensure sufficient heat dissipation space. The circuit board 6 is first inserted obliquely with the notch 28 under the engaging piece 23, then gradually laid flat and the screw holes 9 are aligned with the reserved holes on the screw fixing block 24, and the circuit board 6 is fixed to the end cap 11 through the screw 18. At this time, the USB interface 7, the switch 8, and the control line 10 placed or connected on the circuit board 6 are respectively adapted to or pass through the interface hole 12, the switch hole 19, the wire passing hole 33, or the control line wire passing hole 36. Through the adapted head thread 5 and the end cap thread 32, the end cap 11 can be screwed and engaged with the receiving sleeve 1, and further sealed through the contact edge 4. When in use, by pressing the switch protection cap 14 to achieve the pressing key 20, the relevant working states or functions of the integrated control circuit can be sequentially selected to control the working states of the relevant input or output components, realizing decorative lamp control, battery charge and discharge, lighting or extinguishing or color change of the LED light emitter, and other functions. In some instances of the present utility model, the LED light emitter is preferably set to display two states of the rechargeable battery being charging and fully charged. For example, it is displayed in red when charging and in green when fully charged. Of course, the integrated control circuit of the present utility model can also be replaced by a simpler circuit according to actual needs and device requirements as long as it is also adapted to the various elements of the present utility model. The interface hole protection cover 13 can cover the USB interface 7 by pressing part of it into the interface hole 12 when the USB interface is not in use, and when using the USB interface, the interface hole protection cover 13 can be more easily pulled up by pulling up the protrusion 40. The hook 2, in some instances of use, is used to hang the lighting control device of the present utility model on certain fixed parts (such as a fixed ring), and the protrusion 3 can further prevent it from slipping out of the corresponding position after being easily hung in.In some examples of certain deformations of the present utility model, the control line 10 may also be selected to pass through from the end cover 11 or other positions of the accommodating sleeve 1 or directly implement the function of the control line 10 through a USB interface.

[0030] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the scope of the present utility model. It should not be understood as a limitation of the present utility model. Without departing from the design spirit of the present utility model, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present utility model.
