[0039] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various variations and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention. Such variations and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment includes: a multi-segment lamp assembly and a rotation locking device for connecting and locking adjacent lamp assemblies. Specifically, the lamp assembly includes: a first lamp assembly 1 and a second lamp assembly 2; the rotation locking device includes: a rotation locking frame 3 and a locking rod 4. In this embodiment, a two-segment lamp assembly is selected, but three-, four-, or other folding lamps that utilize the locking structure of this embodiment are considered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the first lamp tube assembly 1 and the second lamp tube assembly 2 have the same structure, and both are composed of a lampshade 11, a mounting plate 12 and a lamp tube frame 13. The lampshade 11 and the mounting plate 12 are installed on the lamp tube frame 13, and the mounting plate 12 is located between the lamp tube frame 13 and the lampshade 11. The lampshade 11 is made of a light-transmitting material, and the lighting assembly is installed on the mounting plate 12. The light path of the lighting assembly diverges from the lampshade 11. The lamp tube frame 13 is a rectangular metal frame structure. A cavity is provided inside the lamp tube frame 13 for installing a power supply, a drive assembly, and circuits, etc. The circuits are connected to the lighting assembly. A first axial hole 101 and a through hole 102 are provided at the ends of the lamp tube frames 13 of the first lamp tube assembly 1 and the second lamp tube assembly 2.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating locking frame 3 includes: a first side plate 31, a connecting plate 32, and a second side plate 33. The connecting plate 32 is connected to the first and second side plates 31, 33 on both sides, and the first and second side plates 31, 33 are perpendicular to the connecting plate 32. The first and second side plates 31, 33 are each provided with a second axial hole 301, a sliding groove 302, a locking groove 303, and a locking groove 304. The arrangement is as follows: one end of the first and second side plates 31, 33 is provided with a second axial hole 301 and a sliding groove 302, the sliding groove 302 being concentric with the second axial hole 301, and the other end is provided with a second axial hole 301 and a locking groove 304, the locking groove 304 being concentric with the second axial hole 301. The sliding grooves 302 and locking grooves 304 on the two side plates are positioned opposite each other, with the sliding groove 302 on one side plate corresponding to the locking groove 304 on the other side plate. The centers of the four second axial holes 301 of the rotating locking frame 3 are coplanar. All sliding slots 302 and locking slots 304 are arc-shaped, with identical arcs and lengths, ensuring consistent rotation of the lamp assembly. Furthermore, the arcs of the sliding slots 302 and locking slots 304 approximate a quarter-circle shape to accommodate a 90° rotation of the lamp assembly relative to the rotating locking frame 3. In this embodiment, the latching slot 303 is located between the sliding slots 302 and locking slots 304.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, the locking rod 4 includes: a blocking piece 41, a sliding section 42, a locking section 43, a connecting section 44 and a convex edge 45; the blocking piece 41, the sliding section 42, the locking section 43, the connecting section 44 and the convex edge 45 are connected in sequence.

[0045] The ends of the rotating locking frame 3 are rotatably connected to adjacent lamp tube assemblies. Specifically, the ends of the lamp tube frames 13 are provided with hollowed-out reliefs in the direction of rotation to prevent interference between the lamp tube frames 13 and the rotating locking frame 3 during rotation. The rotating locking frame 3 is installed between the hollowed-out reliefs of adjacent lamp tube frames 13. The connecting plate 32 of the rotating locking frame 3 is parallel to the mounting plate 12, and the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 33 are close to the inner sides of the two sides of the lamp tube frames 13. The second axial holes 301 at each end of the rotating locking frame 3 are connected to the first axial holes 101 in the adjacent lamp tube frame 13 via rotating shafts, thereby enabling the basic rotation of the lamp tube frame 13 relative to the rotating locking frame 3.

[0046] The locking rod 4 is mounted at both ends in the through-hole 102 and the locking slot 304, respectively. The locking rod 4 can be moved axially, with either the sliding section 42 or the locking section 43 positioned in the locking slot 304, facilitating axial movement. The locking slot 304 comprises a moving slot and a positioning slot, with positioning slots at both ends. The moving slot is an arc-shaped slot, while the positioning slot is a circular slot. The diameters of the sliding section 42, the moving slot width, the locking section 43, and the positioning slot are designed from small to large. When the sliding section 42 is located in the locking slot 304, its diameter is smaller than both the moving slot and the positioning slot, allowing the locking rod 4 to slide freely along the locking slot 304 and the lamp assembly connected to the locking rod 4 via the through-hole 102 to rotate freely. When the locking section 43 is located in the positioning slot, its diameter is larger than the moving slot but smaller than the positioning slot, preventing it from moving from the positioning slot to the moving slot. The locking section 43 interferes with the moving slot, locking the lamp assembly relative to the rotational locking frame 3. During the sliding process of the locking rod 4 relative to the locking groove 304 , the connecting section 44 of the locking rod 4 slides freely along the sliding groove 302 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the blocking piece 41 of the locking rod 4 is located on the side of the locking groove 304 facing away from the sliding groove 302, and is ultimately located on the outside of the side through hole 102 on one side. The convex edge 45 is located on the side of the sliding groove 302 facing away from the locking groove 304, and is ultimately located on the outside of the side through hole 102 on the other side. The diameters of the blocking piece 41 and the convex edge 45 are both larger than the diameters of the side through holes 102 on both sides to prevent the locking rod 4 from falling off.

[0048] like Figure 6-7As shown, the hollowed-out avoidance area of ​​the lamp assembly is covered by a cover assembly 5. The cover assembly 5 is smaller than the hollowed-out avoidance area and does not interfere with the hollowed-out avoidance area. The cover assembly 5 includes a buckle 51 and a cover plate 52. The cover plate 52 is provided with a buckle 51, which is engaged with the slot 303 via the buckle 51.

[0049] Working principle:

[0050] When in the storage locking state, one end of the baffle 41 protrudes from the through hole 102 on the adjacent side, the convex edge 45 interferes axially with the through hole 102 on the other side, the locking section 43 is located in the positioning groove close to the card slot 303 and interferes with the movable groove, and the lamp tube assembly is in the storage locking state; when the locking rod 4 is pressed from one end of the baffle 41, the locking rod 4 moves axially so that the sliding section 42 is located in the locking groove 304, the locking rod 4 can slide freely along the locking groove 304, and the lamp tube assembly is in a freely movable state; when the first lamp tube assembly 1 and the second lamp tube assembly 2 are in a 180° expansion, the locking rod 4 is pressed from one end of the convex edge 45, the locking rod 4 moves axially so that the locking section 43 is located in the positioning groove away from the card slot 303 and interferes with the movable groove, and the lamp tube assembly is in the expansion locking state.

[0051] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and 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 therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0052] The above describes specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present invention. The embodiments of this application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other in any manner unless there is a conflict.
