DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] This embodiment provides a flashlight with a switch that prevents accidental touches, which is mainly used to solve the problem of the flashlight lamp being extinguished due to accidental touches on the switch.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the flashlight includes a handle 1 and a lamp head 10 installed at the end of the handle 1, wherein the handle 1 includes a tail cover 12, a hand-held portion 11 and a tube body 13 arranged in sequence, wherein the hand-held portion 11 is installed with a battery, the tail cover 12 is installed at the tail end of the hand-held portion 11 to block the inner cavity of the hand-held portion 11, and the tube body 13 is installed at the other end of the hand-held portion 11, wherein, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the control board 2 is installed in the inner cavity of the tube body 13 , and the other end of the tube body 13 is connected to the lamp holder 10 .

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a touch switch 21 is installed on the control board 2, and a key board 3 adapted to the touch switch 21 is provided on the tube body 13, wherein the key board 3 is provided with a button 32 located directly above the touch switch 21, and the button 32 is provided with a push column 321 that abuts against the touch switch 21.

[0033] With the above arrangement, when it is necessary to control the on or off of the lamp beads in the lamp holder 10 , it can be achieved by simply pressing the button 32 and using the push column 321 to press the touch switch 21 .

[0034] In order to realize the installation of the control board 2, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the tube body 13 is provided with a mounting groove 132 arranged along the axial direction of the tube body 13 , wherein the control board 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 132 .

[0035] The keypad 3 is installed so that the push pin 321 on the button 32 can abut against the touch switch 21. In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer wall of the tube body 13 is provided with a sedimentation tank 131 which is recessed radially inwardly along the tube body 13, wherein the bottom wall of the sedimentation tank 131 is connected to the inner cavity of the tube body 13 through a first avoidance port 1312, wherein, as shown Figure 4 As shown, the key plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the sedimentation tank 131 by means of positioning bolts 6 .

[0036] During use of the flashlight, since the button 32 protrudes from the sedimentation groove 131, the hand may easily touch the button 32, which may cause the flashlight to be turned on or off abnormally, affecting the user experience.

[0037] Therefore, in this embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, a locking groove 3211 is provided on the side wall of the pushing column 321, and a locking component 5 is further provided in the sedimentation tank 131, which is radially slidably connected to the pushing column 321, wherein a locking plate 51 is provided on the locking component 5. When the locking plate 51 is inserted into the locking groove 3211, the locking plate 51 can limit the pushing column 321 from moving toward the touch switch 21, and then lock the button 32 to prevent the button 32 from being accidentally touched, causing the flashlight to be turned on or off. When the locking plate 51 moves out of the locking groove 3211, the restriction of the button 32 is released, and the touch switch 21 can be turned on or off by the button 32.

[0038] In order to prevent the installation of the key plate 3 from affecting the sliding of the locking plate 51, in this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the bottom wall of the key panel 3 is fixed with a column 31. When the key panel 3 is installed inside the sedimentation tank 131, the column 31 abuts against the bottom wall of the sedimentation tank 131, so that a movable layer 30 is reserved between the key panel 3 and the bottom wall of the sedimentation tank 131, wherein the locking plate 51 slides inside the movable layer 30, reducing the interference of the key panel 3 on the movement of the locking plate 51.

[0039] In order to achieve stable sliding of the locking plate 51, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, both sides of the first avoidance opening 1312 are provided with a slide groove 1311, wherein the bottom wall of the locking plate 51 is fixed with a slider 52 inserted into the slide groove 1311, wherein the outer wall of the slider 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 1311 to improve the stability of the movement of the locking plate 51.

[0040] In order to realize the movement of the locking plate 51, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a first waist-shaped hole 33 is provided on the key plate 3 , and a push rod 53 passing through the first waist-shaped hole 33 is fixed on the locking plate 51 .

[0041] Through the above arrangement, when the locking plate 51 needs to be moved, the locking plate 51 can be pushed directly by the push rod 53, thereby changing the position of the locking plate 51 and switching the locking and unlocking states of the push column 321.

[0042] Since the keypad 3 is directly fixed to the bottom wall of the sedimentation tank 131 by the positioning bolts 6, the positioning bolts 6 are exposed to the outside and are easy to scratch the user. Therefore, in this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a buckle and a pad 4, and the buckle and the pad 4 are provided with a second avoidance opening 41 for the button 32 to pass through. When the key plate 3 is installed inside the sedimentation tank 131, the buckle and the pad 4 can be buckled on the outside of the key plate 3, and the nut of the positioning bolt 6 can be encapsulated to prevent the positioning bolt 6 from leaking out.

[0043] In order to prevent the installation of the buckle and the pad 4 from affecting the movement of the push rod 53, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the buckle and pad 4 are provided with a second waist-shaped hole 42 aligned with the first waist-shaped hole 33 , wherein the push rod 53 passes through the second waist-shaped hole 42 , thereby exposing the push rod 53 outside the tube body 13 .

[0044] When the locking plate 51 is buckled in the locking groove 3211, in order to improve the stability of the locking plate 51 and prevent the locking plate 51 from moving out of the locking groove 3211 again, in this embodiment, Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, a clamping portion 34 is fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the key panel 3, wherein the clamping portion 34 is provided with a clamping groove 343 for clamping the push rod 53. When the locking plate 51 is buckled in the locking groove 3211, the push rod 53 is located in the clamping groove 343, thereby limiting the movement of the push rod 53.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the holding portion 34 is made of rubber.

[0046] like Figure 10 As shown, a guide opening 341 is further provided on one side of the clamping portion 34, wherein the guide opening 341 is communicated with the clamping groove 343, and a contraction opening 342 is provided between the guide opening 341 and the clamping groove 343, and the opening of the guide opening 341 is larger than the diameter of the cross section of the push rod 53, and the contraction opening 342 is smaller than the diameter of the cross section of the push rod 53.

[0047] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, when the locking plate 51 is inserted into the locking groove 3211, the push rod 53 first enters the guide opening 341, then expands the contraction opening 342, and finally enters the clamping groove 343. After the push rod 53 enters the clamping groove 343, the contraction opening 342 retracts again due to material problems, thereby preventing the push rod 53 from moving out of the clamping groove 343, thereby improving the stability of the locking plate 51.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced within the present invention.
