The two ends of the connecting portion 9 are fixedly connected to the output end of the transmission motor 4 and the inner shell 3, so that the outer shell 1 can drive the inner shell 3 to rotate in the opening 2. Specifically, the output end of the transmission motor 4 is first placed in the connecting groove, and a transmission gear is sleeved on the output end. The connecting groove is provided with a tooth mouth that meshes with the transmission gear. At the same time, the end of the output end is also provided with a block for preventing the output end from falling out.

[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown: a hanging ring 12 is provided on the top of the outer shell 1, the hanging ring 12 and the outer shell 1 are integrally formed, the hanging ring 12 and the transmission motor 4 are on the same vertical line, and the hanging ring 12 is provided to facilitate hanging the electric lantern.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0036] By opening an opening 2 on the outer shell 1 and arranging an inner shell 3 in the opening 2, a transmission motor 4 is installed inside the outer shell 1, and the output end of the transmission motor 4 is connected to the inner shell 3 through a connecting component, so that the inner shell 3 and the outer shell 1 are fixed, and since the inner shell 3 and the output end of the transmission motor are connected, when the transmission motor 4 is started, its output end can drive the inner shell 3 to rotate; when in use, first connect the transmission motor 4 to an external power supply through a plug, and turn on the light-emitting components in the inner shell 3 and the outer shell 1 to make the light strip illuminate, as the transmission motor 4 is started, its output end will drive the inner shell 3 to rotate in the opening 2 of the outer shell 1, so that the inner shell 3 is dynamically displayed relative to the outer shell 1 and the light is diffused to the surroundings, fully reflecting its festive color, thereby increasing the interest and beauty of the lantern, and solving the technical problem that the existing lantern can only be used as a static decoration and thus lacks entertainment and beauty.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
