[0036] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] 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.

[0038] This embodiment relates to a folding lamp structure, comprising: a two-section lamp tube assembly 1, a cover plate 2, and a folding connection assembly 3; the lamp tube assembly 1 comprises a mounting frame 11 and a lighting assembly 12; the folding connection assembly 3 comprises a first connector 31, a connecting frame 32, a second connector 33, a slide groove 34, a sliding shaft 35, and a limit assembly. The folding lamp has two states: a bent and folded state, achieved by pulling the two-section lamp tube assembly 1 out of the locked state and then bending and folding the two-section lamp tube assembly 1; and a straight and locked state, achieved by unfolding the two-section lamp tube assembly 1 flatly and then bringing them together. The limit assembly of the folding connection assembly 3 restricts rotation in the bending direction, thereby achieving locking, thereby improving the ability to resist bending and shaking in the bending direction.

[0039] The mounting frame 11 is used to mount the circuit, the driving device, and the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 of the folding connection assembly 3 .

[0040] Lighting assembly 12: used to install the lighting module. The lampshade of the lighting assembly 12 is made of transparent material.

[0041] The first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 33 can rotate, slide and lock relative to the connecting frame 32 to drive the corresponding lamp tube assembly 1 to move.

[0042] Connecting frame 32: used for the rotation, sliding and locking of the first connector 31 and the second connector 33.

[0043] Limiting assembly: used to limit the rotation of the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 33 relative to the connecting frame 32.

[0044] The sliding groove 34 and the sliding shaft 35 are used for the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 33 to slide relative to the connecting frame 32 .

[0045] Specifically, if Figure 1 、 4As shown in Figure 7, the mounting frame 11 is connected to the lighting assembly 12, and the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 are respectively mounted in the mounting frame 11 of a section of the lamp tube assembly 1. The lower side plates of the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 are respectively connected to the lighting assembly 12 of a section of the lamp tube assembly 1. The first connector 31 and the second connector 33 are respectively slidably mounted on both ends of the connecting frame 32; sliding shafts 35 are provided at both ends of the connecting frame 32, and the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 are provided with sliding grooves 34, along which the sliding shafts 35 slide; when entering the straight locking state, the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 slide to the top end toward the connecting frame 32, and the connecting frame 32 is restricted from rotating by the limiting assembly; when entering the bent and folded state, the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 slide to the end in a direction away from the connecting frame 32, and the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 are allowed to rotate relative to the connecting frame 32.

[0046] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the connecting frame 32 includes a first side panel 321, a bottom panel 322, and a second side panel 323. The bottom panel 322 is connected to the first and second side panels 321 and 323 on either side. The first and second connectors 31 and 33 each utilize a frame structure formed by an upper, lower, left, and right side panel. The ends of the connecting frame 32 slide along the interior of the frame structures of the first and second connectors 31 and 33, respectively.

[0047] In one embodiment, sliding shafts 35 are installed at both ends of the first side plate 321 and the second side plate 323 , and sliding grooves 34 are provided on the left and right plates of the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 .

[0048] When the cam 32 is in the unlock state, the locking cam 324 is pressed against the locking cam 325, and the locking cam 326 is turned to the unlock state, so that the cam 326 will be unlocked and the lock cam 328 can be turned to the unlock state.

[0049] In one embodiment, when the flat locking state is entered, a cover plate 2 is installed at the avoidance position of the mounting frame 11 , and both ends of the cover plate 2 are respectively connected to the mounting frame 11 of a section of the lamp tube assembly 1 by screws.

[0050] In one embodiment, the upper side plates of the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 are provided with a relief structure at one end facing the connecting frame 32 when entering the bent and folded state. The mounting frame 11 avoids the connecting frame 32 in the rotation direction.

[0051] Working principle:

[0052] When entering the flat locking state, the two sections of the lamp tube assembly 1 move toward each other and close, driving the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 33 to move toward each other, and the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 33 both move toward the direction of the connecting frame 32, and the sliding shafts 35 at both ends of the connecting frame 32 move along the slide grooves 34 of the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 33. When the sliding shaft 35 moves to the end of the slide groove 34, the first limit block 301 gradually engages with the second slot 324, and the two ends of the second limit block 325 gradually engage with the first slot 302, thereby limiting the rotation of the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 33 relative to the connecting frame 32, and then limiting the rotation of the two sections of the lamp tube assembly 1, to achieve flat locking.

[0053] When entering the bending and folding state, the two sections of the lamp tube assembly 1 move in opposite directions and separate, driving the first connector 31 and the second connector 33 to move in opposite directions. The first connector 31 and the second connector 33 both move away from the connecting frame 32, and the sliding shafts 35 at both ends of the connecting frame 32 move toward the other end along the sliding grooves 34 of the first connector 31 and the second connector 33. When the sliding shafts 35 move to the other end of the sliding grooves 34, the first limit block 301 gradually disengages from the second retaining groove 324, and the two ends of the second limit block 325 gradually disengage from the first retaining groove 302, thereby no longer restricting the rotation of the first connector 31 and the second connector 33, and thus no longer restricting the rotation of the two sections of the lamp tube assembly 1. The two sections of the lamp tube assembly 1 rotate to the same side to achieve bending and folding.
