Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a working lamp, in particular to a foldable automobile inspection lamp, which is suitable for lighting in different occasions such as automobile maintenance. Background Art

[0002] There are many types of automotive inspection work lights on the market, with hood-mounted retractable work lights and tripod-mounted work lights being the most popular. Triangle-mounted work lights are bulky, heavy, and difficult to carry, which limits their use. Hood-mounted retractable work lights, however, are mounted on the hood via a hook and can be retracted and folded. However, they also have the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. When installed on the hood for maintenance, the irradiation area can only be adjusted by rotating the handles on both sides. It is not possible to increase the irradiation area by rotating a single angle.

[0004] 2. The battery is installed in the handle. When folded into a triangle, the center of gravity is unstable and it is easy to fall over. The handle area is limited and the battery capacity is limited.

[0005] 3. Folding into a triangle requires disassembly and reassembly, which is inconvenient for the user. If the quick-switch design were to be reversed to form a triangle, the structure would be more complex, difficult to produce, impractical, and only capable of producing a single-color light. When folded into a triangle, the handle is non-reflective, and the reflective upper half of the triangle is missing, leaving the triangle incomplete for vehicles behind, which can easily lead to misjudgment.

[0006] 4. The folding joint structure is large in size, reducing the area of ​​the lamp

[0007] 5. It is not compact after folding, there is a gap between each lamp body, and the storage volume is large

[0008] 6. The battery is installed in the handle. The circuit inside the lamp body is very long, which will attenuate the light, causing the light on the side close to the lamp body to be bright and the light on the side away from the lamp body to be dim. In addition, the handle is larger than the other, which is not beautiful.

[0009] Upon investigation, the existing Chinese patent number CN201220479590, "A Lighting Work Lamp for Automotive Maintenance," includes a work lamp body equipped with LED lamp beads and a lithium battery. Hooks are installed at both ends of the work lamp body; a rotating adjustment base is installed between the work lamp body and the hooks; and a folding base is installed in the middle of the work lamp body. The work lamp's bracket is foldable, but it cannot be rotated to adjust the angle or easily folded into a triangle. Further structural improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention
