[0041] The principles and features of the present utility model will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0042] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an intelligent light and multi-storage colorful USB flash drive includes:

[0043] A first housing 1,

[0044] An interface 3 internally encapsulating a flash memory chip 2, which is inlaid and fixed at one end of the first housing 1;

[0045] A microcircuit board 4, which is arranged in the first housing 1 and is electrically connected to the interface 3;

[0046] A U-shaped colorful lamp assembly 5, which is inlaid and arranged at the front edge of the first housing 1 and is electrically connected to the microcircuit board 4;

[0047] A photoelectric sensor, which is inlaid and arranged on the surface of the first housing 1 and is electrically connected to the microcircuit board 4;

[0048] A photoelectric sensor switch 6, which is inlaid and arranged on the front of the first housing 1 and is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor;

[0049] A second housing 7, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the first housing 1;

[0050] A lighting assembly, which is arranged in the second housing 7;

[0051] A lighting assembly control button, which is inlaid and arranged on the surface of the second housing 7 and is electrically connected to the lighting assembly.

[0052] In the present utility model, the optoelectronic sensor switch 6 is used to control the on / off state of the optoelectronic sensor. The optoelectronic sensor is used to detect the ambient light brightness. When it senses a state of no light or weak light, it will turn on the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly 5. The intensity of the light emitted by the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly 5 is conducted and adjusted by the optoelectronic sensor. If the environment is completely dark, the lumen intensity of the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly 5 will reach 90; when there is weak light or in a fully lit environment, the lumen will float from 50 - 70 to 0. To sum up, the optoelectronic sensor is activated through the optoelectronic sensor switch 6. The optoelectronic sensor judges the adjustment of the light brightness emitted by the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly 5 by detecting the external ambient light. If the ambient light is dim, the light emitted by the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly will become brighter, and vice versa. During specific use, the user can directly insert the interface 3 into a computer or a device with a USB flash drive socket. This intelligent multi-storage colorful USB flash drive already includes the functions of plug-and-play and hot plugging. The user can activate the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly connected to the optoelectronic sensor through the optoelectronic sensor switch 6.

[0053] In the present utility model, the purpose of setting the lighting assembly is to fully expand the additional functions of the USB flash drive, which can be used as a flashlight when the user needs lighting, and the light intensity can be adjusted from 50 to a maximum of 200 lumens.

[0054] In this specific embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the following components are integrated on the microcircuit board 4:

[0055] A main control chip, electrically connected to the flash memory chip 2 integrated in the interface 3;

[0056] A power management circuit equipped with a battery, whose input end is connected to the interface 3, whose output end is connected to the main control chip and the flash memory chip 2, and is also electrically connected to the power supply end of the optoelectronic sensor through the optoelectronic sensor switch 6;

[0057] A signal processing circuit, whose power supply end is electrically connected to the output end of the power management circuit, and whose input end is electrically connected to the output end of the optoelectronic sensor;

[0058] A driving circuit for the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly, whose power supply end is electrically connected to the output end of the power management circuit, whose input end is electrically connected to the output end of the signal processing circuit, and whose output end is electrically connected to the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly 5.

[0059] In the present utility model, the flash memory chip 2, the main control chip and the interface 3 form the USB flash drive body. The circuit principles of the interface, the main control chip and the flash memory chip are as Figure 4 shown; Figure 4Among them, J1 represents Interface 3. The core of the main control chip is chip U1 with the model of IC1114, and the core of the flash memory chip is chip U2 with the model of K9F0BDUDB. Interface 3 can be connected to devices such as computers with USB-A sockets for data reading and data exchange. Interface 3 can adopt higher-standard data transmission technologies, such as USB3.2 or Thunderbolt, to improve the data reading and writing speed. Interface 3 uses off-the-shelf packaging technologies available on the market to integrate the flash memory chip into Interface 3 in order to save the space occupied by the original USB flash drive body.

[0060] The circuit principle of the power management circuit is as Figure 5 shown; when Interface 3 is plugged into a device with a USB interface, the power management circuit obtains power VUSB from Interface 3 and performs voltage conversion to obtain voltage VCC, which powers the main control chip and the flash memory chip, and simultaneously charges the battery BAT. When Interface 3 is not plugged into a device with a USB interface (such as a computer), the battery BAT in the power management circuit can provide a 5V voltage for subsequent circuits (such as a photoelectric sensor, a signal processing circuit, a driving circuit for the U-shaped dazzling light component, etc.) to work.

[0061] Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of the circuit principles of the photoelectric sensor switch, the photoelectric sensor, the signal processing circuit, and the driving circuit for the U-shaped dazzling light component; Figure 6 Among them, SB represents the photoelectric sensor switch; U5 represents the photoelectric sensor, and its model is On9658; LED represents the U-shaped dazzling light component. When ambient light shines on the photoelectric sensor, the measured object on the photoelectric sensor absorbs, reflects, or transmits the optical signal. The photodetector receives the optical signal reflected or transmitted by the measured object, and then converts this optical signal into an electrical signal and outputs it.

[0062] Since the electrical signal output by the photoelectric sensor is relatively weak, a signal processing circuit is also required for further processing; the signal processing circuit is used to amplify the electrical signal output by the photoelectric sensor so that the amplified electrical signal can be recognized by the driving circuit for the U-shaped dazzling light component.

[0063] The driving circuit for the U-shaped dazzling light component is used to drive the U-shaped dazzling light component 5 to emit light with corresponding brightness according to the magnitude of the electrical signal output by the signal processing circuit.

[0064] In this embodiment: the U-shaped dazzling light component 5 includes a U-shaped transparent tube, and an LED strip is wrapped inside the U-shaped transparent tube. A variety of color LED beads are integrated on the LED strip. The colors of the LED beads include blue, green, and purple.

[0065] The brightness of the environment sensed by the photoelectric sensor can control the LED beads of three colors, namely blue, green, and purple, on the LED light strip to change in a breathing light pattern. During the change process, the intensity of the light is conducted and adjusted by the photoelectric sensor 11. If the environment is completely dark, the lumen intensity of the U-shaped LED light strip 13 will reach 90; in a weakly lit or fully lit environment, the lumen will float from 50 - 70 to 0.

[0066] In this embodiment, the lighting assembly includes a lighting battery 8, a switch brightness adjustment board, and a lighting lamp 9. The lighting battery 8 is electrically connected to the lighting lamp 9 through the switch brightness adjustment board. The lighting lamp 9 is specifically an LED lamp, and the lighting battery 8 is specifically a button battery. The lighting assembly control buttons include a lighting switch button 10, a brightness increase button 11, and a brightness decrease button 12. The lighting switch button 10, the brightness increase button 11, and the brightness decrease button 12 are all electrically connected to the switch brightness adjustment board.

[0067] This utility model is powered by a lighting battery pack 8 to supply power to the lighting lamp 9. Among them, the lighting switch button 10 is used to control the on / off of the lighting lamp 9, the brightness increase button 11 (brightness adjustment (+)2) is used to enhance the brightness of the lighting lamp, and the brightness decrease button 12 is used to reduce the brightness of the lighting lamp.

[0068] In this embodiment, a magnetic adsorption material is provided on the reverse side of the first housing 1.

[0069] A magnetic adsorption material is provided on the reverse side of the first housing 1, which has an adsorption function and can adsorb components made of iron materials.

[0070] In this embodiment, the interface 3 is made of zinc alloy material; the first housing 1 and the second housing 7 are both made of aluminum material.

[0071] The interface 3 is made of a more durable and firm zinc alloy material to improve the anti - impact, waterproof, and dust - proof capabilities. While using this material, the wear resistance, strength, and cost are also balanced.

[0072] The first housing 1 and the second housing 7 use recycled metal of aluminum material. Its lightweight and corrosion - resistant properties are commonly used in the manufacturing of the outer shells of electronic products; using recycled aluminum to manufacture the outer shell of the USB flash drive is not only environmentally friendly but also can reduce production costs.

[0073] In a smart light multi-storage colorful USB flash drive of the present utility model, the optoelectronic sensor is turned on through the optoelectronic sensor switch. The optoelectronic sensor automatically detects the environment at night or in insufficient light, and directly turns on the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly in a weak light environment without the user having to turn it on through drive control. Inserting the USB flash drive into a device in a weak light environment helps reduce the risk of misinsertion or damage to the device that the user may cause due to not being able to see the USB interface. At the same time, the intensity of the light emitted by the U-shaped colorful lamp assembly can be adjusted by the optoelectronic sensor sensing the strength of the ambient light source, achieving a decorative effect and adding some fun to the user's computer desktop or working environment. In addition, by providing a lighting component to enhance the auxiliary lighting other than storage, the built-in lighting device of the USB flash drive can be used to replace the flashlight when it is relatively dark or when a small area needs to be illuminated. Although the effect is the same as that of a miniature flashlight and the maximum light intensity can only reach 200 lumens, it solves the dilemma that the USB flash drive only has a single storage function and provides a more convenient and comfortable user experience.

[0074] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
