Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lighting, and specifically provides a lamp. Background Art

[0002] With the development of lighting technology, the types of home and office lamps have become more diverse, such as table lamps, floor lamps, wall lamps and various other lamps.

[0003] Existing lamps are generally turned on and off by switches installed on their housings. Existing lamp switches mainly include two types: push-button switches and touch switches. The operating surface of the switch is exposed through a hole in the lamp housing to facilitate user operation.

[0004] However, regardless of the switch type, the exposed area on the housing is relatively small, limiting the user's ability to operate directly through sight or touch. This is particularly inconvenient in low light conditions or when precise brightness control is required. Furthermore, in different usage environments, user operation is often restricted by surrounding objects. Existing switch designs do not fully account for these factors, resulting in inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0005] One purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the operation interface of the switch of the existing lamp is small and thus inconvenient for the user to operate.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a lamp, comprising a light-emitting unit for providing lighting, a conductive shell, an electrode and a control unit; the conductive shell and the electrode are insulated from each other and close to each other to form a capacitive switch, and the control unit is electrically connected to the electrode to sense the current of the electrode and control the on and off of the light-emitting unit.

[0007] Optionally, at least a portion of the electrode is located within the conductive housing.

[0008] Optionally, an insulating member is provided between the electrode and the conductive shell.

[0009] Optionally, the insulating member is configured to be tubular; and / or, the electrode is configured to be spiral.

[0010] Optionally, the lamp further includes a lamp head and a lamp holder for supporting the lamp head; the lamp head includes the light-emitting unit, the conductive shell and the electrode; and the control unit is arranged on the lamp head or the lamp holder.

[0011] Optionally, the conductive shell has an opening facing downward; the lamp holder further comprises a light-transmitting cover arranged at the opening of the conductive shell, and the light-emitting unit and the electrode are both arranged between the conductive shell and the light-transmitting cover.

[0012] Optionally, the light-transmitting cover is fixedly connected to the conductive shell, and the light-emitting unit and the electrode are fixedly connected to the light-transmitting cover.

[0013] Optionally, the lamp further comprises a lamp pole arranged between the lamp head and the lamp holder, and the lamp head is fixedly connected to the lamp pole through the light-transmitting cover; and / or, the electrode is located on a side of the light-emitting unit away from the light-transmitting cover; and / or, the outer surface of the conductive shell is set to be a part of a sphere; and / or, the lamp holder as a whole is set to be a part of a sphere.

[0014] Optionally, the lamp holder includes a charging indicator light located inside the lamp holder and a light-transmitting ring located at the bottom of the lamp holder.

[0015] Optionally, the lamp is a table lamp or a floor lamp.

[0016] Based on the foregoing description, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that, in the aforementioned technical solution of the present invention, by setting the housing of the lamp to be conductive, configuring the lamp with electrodes electrically connected to the control unit, and making the conductive housing and the electrodes insulated from each other and close to each other to form a capacitive switch, when the user's finger touches the conductive housing, the electric field strength of the conductive housing and the electrode can be changed, so that the control unit can sense the change in the current of the electrode, and then the control unit can control the power on and off and whether the light-emitting unit is illuminated accordingly. In simple terms, the present invention senses whether it is touched by the user by making the conductive housing of the lamp part of the capacitive switch, thereby achieving on-off control of the lamp. At the same time, because the size of the conductive housing is much larger than the size of the switch installed on the housing of the existing lamp, the size of the operating interface for the user to control the lamp switch of the present invention is much larger than the size of the operating interface of the switch on the existing lamp, which facilitates the user's operation and improves the user experience.

[0017] Furthermore, by arranging the electrode in a spiral shape, the area of ​​the electrode is increased within a limited space, thereby improving the accuracy of capacitance switch detection.

[0031] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. These embodiments are intended to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the embodiments provided by the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element described must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a communication between the two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances. For example, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", and "fix", unless otherwise specified, can specifically refer to any feasible connection form such as bolt connection, screw connection, welding, plug-in connection, riveting, welding, and clamping.

[0034] In the present invention, the lamp can be any feasible lighting fixture such as a table lamp, a floor lamp, a wall lamp, etc. Figures 1 to 7 Taking a desk lamp as an example, the lamp of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the lamp 001 includes a light-emitting unit 110 for providing lighting, a conductive shell 120, an electrode 130, and a control unit 210. The conductive shell 120 and the electrode 130 are insulated from each other and close to each other to form a capacitive switch 101. The control unit 210 is electrically connected to the electrode 130 and the light-emitting unit 110 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5 ), to sense the current of the electrode 130 and control the on and off of the light emitting unit 110.

[0036] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention configures the housing of the lamp 001 to be conductive, equips the lamp 001 with an electrode 130 electrically connected to the control unit 210, and insulates the conductive housing 120 and the electrode 130 from each other and places them close together to form a capacitive switch 101. This allows a user's finger to touch the conductive housing 120, thereby changing the electric field strength between the conductive housing 120 and the electrode 130. This allows the control unit 210 to sense the change in current flowing through the electrode 130, and thus control the on / off switching of the light-emitting unit 110. Simply put, the present invention uses the conductive housing 120 of the lamp 001 as part of the capacitive switch 101 to sense whether it has been touched by the user, thereby achieving on / off control of the lamp 001. At the same time, since the size of the conductive shell 120 is much larger than the size of the switch installed on the shell of the existing lamp 001, the size of the operating interface of the lamp 001 of the present invention for the user to control the switch of the lamp 001 is much larger than the size of the operating interface of the switch on the existing lamp 001, which facilitates the user's operation and improves the user's experience.

[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an insulating member 140 is provided between the electrode 130 and the conductive shell 120 to ensure that the electrode 130 and the conductive shell 120 do not conflict and are insulated from each other, thereby ensuring the reliability of the capacitive switch 101.

[0040] Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also provide an insulating layer on the outside of the electrode 130 ; and / or provide an insulating layer on the inside of the conductive shell 120 as needed.

[0041] In addition, in order to prevent the electrode 130 from abutting against the conductive shell 120 , those skilled in the art may further provide an insulating plate-shaped structure at one end of the electrode 130 close to the conductive shell 120 as needed.

[0042] from Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As can be seen in some other embodiments of the present invention, the electrode 130 is configured to be spiral, so as to increase the area of ​​the electrode 130 within a limited space, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the capacitive switch 101.

[0043] Of course, those skilled in the art may also configure the electrode 130 to any other feasible shape, such as a plurality of parallel rod-shaped structures, as needed.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the light emitting unit 110 is Figure 5 , the light-emitting unit 110 is clamped vertically by the conductive housing 120 and the light-transmitting cover 150. Specifically, the light-emitting unit 110 is configured as an annular plate-like structure, and a circle of light beads is provided on the side of the light-emitting unit 110 facing the light-transmitting cover 150 to provide illumination. The top side of the outer end of the light-emitting unit 110 abuts the conductive housing 120, while the bottom side of the inner end of the light-emitting unit 110 abuts the light-transmitting cover 150. After the conductive housing 120 and the light-transmitting cover 150 are tightened, the light-emitting unit 110 is firmly clamped between the conductive housing 120 and the light-transmitting cover 150.

[0055] Continue reading Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, a fixing plate 131 is disposed on the bottom side of the electrode 130. After the conductive housing 120 and the light-transmitting cover 150 are tightened, the conductive housing 120, the insulating member 140, the fixing plate 131, and the light-emitting unit 110 are sequentially abutted, and the light-emitting unit 110 and the light-transmitting cover 150 clamp the insulating member 140 and the fixing plate 131, thereby achieving relative fixation between the internal components of the lamp holder 100. At the same time, the electrode 130 is positioned on the side of the light-emitting unit 110 away from the light-transmitting cover 150.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the lamp holder 100 may further include a connecting member 160 , which may be threadedly connected to the light-transmitting cover 150 , and a sealing ring may be disposed between the connecting member 160 and the light-transmitting cover 150 .

[0058] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also install a counterweight (not shown in the figure) in the support housing 220 as needed to increase the stability of the lamp holder 200 and prevent the lamp 001 from tipping over. For example, the counterweight may be installed in Figure 5 The area above the battery 250 in the middle support housing 220.

[0059] from Figures 1 to 5 As can be seen in FIG, in some embodiments of the present invention, the supporting shell 220 is configured as a portion of a sphere as a whole to optimize the appearance of the lamp holder 200 .

[0060] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control unit 210 is a plate-shaped structure as a whole, or is formed on or disposed on the plate-shaped structure. A charging indicator light 211 is configured on the bottom side of the control unit 210 to light up when the lamp 001 is charging.

[0061] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a micro switch 212 may be further configured on the bottom side of the control unit 210 to control whether the capacitive switch 101 is activated or not.

[0063] Furthermore, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also omit the micro switch 212 and its corresponding button 241 as needed. However, in this case, the capacitive switch 101 may be accidentally touched, causing the lamp 001 to light up.

[0064] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a power receiving terminal 242 is provided on the base 240 to connect to an external power source through the power receiving terminal 242 to charge the battery 250 and also to provide power to the light emitting unit 110 and the charging indicator light 211.

[0069] Refer to the following Figures 3 to 5 The following briefly describes the usage and working principle of the lamp 001 of the present invention.

[0070] When lamp 001 is needed, the button 241 on the bottom of lamp 001 is first triggered to ensure that lamp 001 is in standby mode. This energizes electrode 130 and generates an electric field. When a user touches or approaches conductive housing 120, the electric field at electrode 130 changes. Based on the changes in the electric field and current at electrode 130, control unit 210 determines that the user has triggered capacitive switch 101, thereby controlling the lighting unit 110 to light up or turn off.

[0071] It can be seen that the lamp 001 of the present invention facilitates the user's operation and improves the user's experience.
