Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lighting equipment, and in particular to a portable hook flashlight. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, flashlights have become one of people's main emergency lighting tools. They can provide necessary lighting functions in emergencies such as power outages, night travel, disasters, etc. to ensure the safety of people's lives. In addition, with the popularity of tourism and outdoor activities, flashlights have become a must-have item to fully meet the lighting needs of outdoor enthusiasts.

[0003] In the prior art, many small flashlights are available on the market for easy portability. These flashlights are small, lightweight, and easy to carry. However, with technological advancements, existing flashlights are becoming increasingly intelligent. Consequently, a problem arises: when an existing (intelligent) flashlight is turned off (not in use), its internal circuit system remains in a "standby" state, and the battery within the flashlight still requires power to maintain this state. Consequently, if the flashlight is not used for an extended period, the battery charge decreases, impacting battery life. Therefore, a portable hook flashlight is proposed to address the aforementioned technical issues. Utility Model Content

[0025] Below, the present application is further described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should be noted that for directional words, such as the terms "center", "horizontal", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and so on, the directions and positional relationships indicated are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of this application.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0028] One of the preferred embodiments of this application is as follows: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a portable hook flashlight includes a housing 1, a battery 5, a circuit module 6, and a lampshade 7. The battery 5 and the circuit module 6 are both installed inside the housing 1, and the lampshade 7 is movably installed inside the housing 1. When in use, the lampshade 7 acts like a wire (with an electrically connected wire or metal strip inside). That is, the two ends of the lampshade 7 are electrically connected to the battery 5 and the circuit module 6 respectively, and the battery 5 then supplies power to the circuit module 6 through the lampshade 7.

[0029] It should be noted that the circuit module 6 is common knowledge known to those skilled in the art, and its main functions are to control the flashlight's lighting on and off, control the brightness of the lighting, and switch lighting modes. Although the flashlight is turned off, the circuit module 6 is still in a standby state under the power of the battery 5. Therefore, when the flashlight is not used for a long time, the power in the battery 5 is still slowly consumed.

[0030] Therefore, if the flashlight is not used for a long time, Figure 5 As shown, we can move the lampshade 7 in a first direction (to the left) along the shell 1 so that the two ends of the lampshade 7 are separated from the battery 5 and the circuit module 6 respectively, and then the battery 5 will be in an off-circuit state, which greatly reduces the power consumption of the battery 5 and thus extends the service life of the battery 5.

[0031] In one of the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the lampshade 7 includes an outer shell 701 and a rod 702 connected to each other, and the outer shell 701 is sealingly and slidably disposed inside the rear end of the housing 1.

[0032] It should be noted that when the battery 5 is in the disconnected state, it is not necessary to disconnect both electrodes of the battery 5 simultaneously; we only need to disconnect one of the electrodes to achieve the disconnection effect. Therefore, when the flashlight is in use, the inner center position of the outer shell 701 abuts against one of the electrodes of the battery 5, and the rod 702 abuts against the circuit module 6; while the other electrode of the battery 5 can be connected to the circuit module 6 via a wire, thus forming a circuit.

[0033] Of course, the outer shell 701 and the rod body 702 themselves can be made of conductive materials (such as metal), and of course metal sheets with electrical connections can be embedded inside the two, so as to realize power supply when the lampshade 7 is abutted and matched.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the rod body 702 and the circuit module 6 when they are in contact with each other, Figure 4 As shown, an elastic micro switch 11 (such as a metal copper sheet) can be provided at the bottom end of the circuit module 6; when the lampshade 7 is electrically matched with the circuit module 6, the micro switch 11 can be pressed against the rod body 702 under the action of elastic force to ensure good contact and stable current transmission.

[0035] like Figure 5As shown, we know that the battery 5 is installed and placed along the length direction of the shell 1, and when the outer shell 701 is matched with the battery 5, it directly squeezes the battery 5, so the installation position of the battery 5 is easily offset during multiple squeezing processes.

[0036] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, a skeleton 8 can be installed in the shell 1, and the battery 5 is fixedly installed in the skeleton 8. An electrode sheet 12 electrically connected to one of the electrodes of the battery 5 is provided at the end of the skeleton 8, and the outer shell 701 is sleeved on the outside of the skeleton 8.

[0037] It can be understood that at this time, the cooperation between the lampshade 7 and the battery 5 can be transformed into the cooperation between the outer shell 701 and the electrode sheet 12, so that the battery 5 body will basically not be subjected to a large extrusion effect, thereby avoiding the problem of position offset of the battery 5 in the shell 1 and ensuring the stability and service life of the battery 5.

[0038] It should be noted that a certain damping force exists between the lampshade 7, the housing 1, and the frame 8. When the lampshade 7 slides to any position and stops, it can remain in that position and will not change position due to slight external vibration or movement. This damping force can be achieved by providing a friction material or using a self-adhesive material between the lampshade 7 and the housing 1 or the frame 8. In addition, to further ensure the stability of the lampshade 7 and prevent accidental sliding, when the lampshade 7 moves to the conductive position, it can be provided with a corresponding positioning structure, such as a positioning groove or positioning protrusion, on the housing 1 or the frame 8 to enhance the limiting effect.

[0039] To facilitate understanding of how the battery 5 supplies power and disconnects the circuit, the working principle of the entire process is described below:

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown in (a), the battery 5 is in the power supply state. We assume that the outer shell 701 is in contact with the point A on the electrode sheet 12, and the rod 702 is in contact with the point B on the micro switch 11. That is, the battery 5 supplies power to the circuit module 6 through the lampshade 7. When the flashlight is not used for a long time, we can disconnect the battery 5: Figure 5 As shown in (b), the lampshade 7 is pulled to the left to pull out the lampshade 7 originally retracted inside the housing 1. Figure 3 At this time, the outer shell 701 will be separated from point A, and the rod body 702 will be separated from point B to achieve power off of the battery 5.

[0041] It should be noted that the power-off operation of the above-mentioned battery 5 can also be used in such scenarios: for example, when we accidentally drop the flashlight into the water, we can quickly pick up the flashlight and pull the lampshade 7 to cut off the power of the battery 5. This can prevent subsequent water from entering the shell 1 and causing the circuit module 6 to short-circuit. After that, the flashlight can be dried before subsequent use, thereby avoiding the probability of possible damage.

[0042] In one of the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, since the battery 5 generates heat during operation, if the battery 5 is located within the frame 8, its heat dissipation will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when the frame 8 is specifically arranged, the battery 5 and the projection of the frame 8 into the housing 1 overlap. In other words, the protection range of the frame 8 is smaller than the overall size of the battery 5. The frame 8 is installed in a manner that partially covers the battery 5. This ensures that the heat generated by the battery 5 during operation can be effectively dissipated through the portion not covered by the frame 8, thereby preventing the performance degradation or damage of the battery 5 due to heat accumulation. Of course, the specific dimensions of the frame 8 can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.

[0043] In one of the embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the end of the outer shell 701 away from the battery 5 can be installed with a hook 3, and the opening of the hook 3 is provided with an aluminum alloy spring 4. The first end of the aluminum alloy spring 4 is installed at the first end of the opening, and the second end of the aluminum alloy spring 4 is snap-fitted with the second end of the opening. The opening of the hook 3 is closed or opened by the elastic deformation of the aluminum alloy spring 4. For example, in actual use, the hook 3 can be conveniently hung on the user's belt, backpack or other objects, so that the flashlight can be quickly accessed when needed. Of course, it can also be used in conjunction with a rope or safety belt, so that the flashlight can provide lighting in high places or places that are difficult to directly access.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the flashlight itself can be set into a long rectangular structure to facilitate users to carry and use in various occasions.

[0045] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a charging port 10 and a power port 9 are provided on the outside of the housing 1, and both the charging port 10 and the power port 9 are electrically connected to the circuit module 6. It can be understood that the charging port 10 is used to charge the internal battery 5, while the power port 9 can discharge the battery 5. For example, we connect the power port 9 to a mobile phone via a data cable to provide emergency charging for the mobile phone or other portable electronic devices. This design makes the flashlight not only a lighting tool, but also has the function of an emergency power supply, greatly improving its use value.

[0046] Furthermore, the charging port 10 and the power port 9 are preferably arranged at the front end (head) of the shell 1 (flashlight), and a lamp head 2 can also be slidably arranged at the front end of the shell 1. For example, when the charging port 10 and the power port 9 need to be used, the lamp head 2 can slide outward along the shell 1, thereby exposing the charging port 10 and the power port 9; similarly, when the charging port 10 and the power port 9 are not needed, the lamp head 2 is slid in the opposite direction, so that the charging port 10 and the power port 9 are hidden and protected, thereby avoiding damage to the charging port 10 and the power port 9 by external factors such as dust and water. Of course, the sliding adjustment of the lamp head 2 can also adjust the focal length of the flashlight itself, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of use.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, in order to improve the aesthetics of the entire flashlight, a plurality of multi-color fluorescent silicone strip placement areas 13 can be provided at the front end of the lamp head 2, and a multi-color fluorescent silicone strip placement area 13 is sealed and installed with a multi-color fluorescent silicone strip 14, so that the flashlight can generate dim light of different colors when in use, greatly improving the aesthetics.

[0048] The above describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above-described embodiments and the specification merely illustrate the principles of the present application. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. These changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present application for which protection is sought. The scope of protection claimed by the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
