[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Currently, most straight-tube flashlights of the same type lack visual management, making it difficult for users to accurately understand the flashlight's battery level, remaining working time, and current working mode.

[0035] To this end, the present invention proposes a driving assembly 1, which aims to solve the technical problem that the existing straight-tube flashlight lacks visual management, making it impossible for the user to accurately understand the flashlight's power level, remaining working time and current working mode.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly 1 is used in a flashlight 100. The flashlight 100 may include but is not limited to a housing assembly 2, a light source assembly 3 and a driving assembly 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the shell assembly 2 is mainly used to accommodate components such as the light source assembly 3 and the drive assembly 1, and plays the role of installing and protecting the above-mentioned components. The shape and material of the shell assembly 2 are generally not limited. For example, in order to improve the structural stability of the flashlight 100, the shape of the shell assembly 2 can be rectangular and the material can be metal. Other situations are similar and will not be repeated here. The light source assembly 3 serves as the lighting device of the flashlight 100, and can include but is not limited to glass 31, reflective cup 32, positioning seat 33, light source plate 34 and ejector plate 35. Specifically, the glass 31, reflective cup 32, positioning seat 33, light source plate 34 and ejector plate 35 are installed in the shell assembly 2 in sequence along a first direction, and the first direction is the axial direction of the flashlight 100, and the glass 31 is pressed by a first pressure ring 36. The drive assembly 1 serves as the control center of the flashlight 100, and can include but is not limited to the drive plate 12. The driver board 12 is disposed within the housing assembly 2 and electrically connected to the light source board 34 of the light source assembly 3. It is primarily responsible for controlling and driving the light source board 34 to produce light. To prevent the driver board 12 from being directly mounted on the housing assembly 2, the driver assembly 1 of this embodiment further includes a driver bracket 11. The driver bracket 11 connects the driver board 12 to the housing assembly 2, thereby preventing the driver board 12 from being directly mounted on the housing assembly 2 and protecting the structure of the driver board 12.

[0038] As described above, to enhance visual management, the driver assembly 1 also includes a display module 13. Display module 13 can be implemented using a display screen, such as a TN screen, IPS screen, VA screen, OLED display, LED display, or TFT liquid crystal panel. In this embodiment, display module 13 is implemented using an OLED display. OLED displays offer advantages such as thinness, light weight, and strong shock resistance, which can improve the convenience and shock resistance of flashlight 100. The OLED display is electrically connected to the driver board 12, which is mounted on the driver bracket 11. In other words, the OLED display and driver board 12 are integrated via the driver bracket 11. This simplifies the electrical connection between the driver board 12 and the OLED display, reduces the size of the driver assembly 1, and thus reduces the size of the flashlight 100, making it lightweight and convenient. The housing assembly 2 is provided with a display port 221, with the display surface of the OLED display facing the display port 221. In actual use, the OLED display can display the battery level, remaining operating time, and current operating mode of the flashlight 100. The user can view the content displayed on the OLED display through the display port 221 so as to replenish the power according to different usage scenarios or change to other working modes to obtain the best lighting effect and meet specific needs.

[0039] The driving assembly 1 proposed in the technical solution of the present invention is applied to a flashlight 100. The flashlight 100 includes a shell assembly 2 and a light source assembly 3.

The battery pack can include but is not limited to lithium batteries. The second electrical connection portion 122 extends out of the cavity 113 and is electrically connected to the battery assembly 4. This arrangement can simplify the electrical connection lines between the light source assembly 3 and the driving plate 12, and between the battery assembly 4 and the driving plate 12. The reduction in the number of electrical connection lines can not only reduce the volume of the flashlight 100, but also simplify the structure of the flashlight 100, making it easier to maintain.

[0045] Reference Figure 6In one embodiment of the present utility model, the driving assembly 1 further includes a charging component 16. The charging component 16 can be implemented by a USB charging seat, a Type-C charging seat, a Lightning charging seat, or other charging seats. In this embodiment, the charging component 16 is implemented by a Type-C charging seat, which is electrically connected to the driving board 12, and the driving board 12 is electrically connected to the battery assembly 4. The shell assembly 2 is also provided with a mounting port 222, one end of the Type-C charging seat is mounted on the driving bracket 11, and the other end of the Type-C charging seat extends to the mounting port 222. When the flashlight 100 needs to be charged, the Type-C charging seat can be connected to an external power supply through the mounting port 222, so that the electric energy of the external power supply is input into the Type-C charging seat, and is converted by the Type-C charging seat and output to the battery assembly 4, thereby realizing energy storage of the battery assembly 4 so that the flashlight 100 can be carried and used.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly 1 further includes a dustproof member 17. The dustproof member 17 can be implemented by a dust plug. The dust plug is arranged between the outer peripheral wall of the charging member 16 and the inner peripheral wall of the second opening 115, and is mainly used to dust-proof and seal the gap between the charging member 16 and the driving bracket 11, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the cavity 113 through the gap between the charging member 16 and the driving bracket 11, further reducing the impact of foreign matter on the driving board 12 and the display module 13, and improving the life performance of both.

[0047] The utility model also provides a flashlight 100, referring to Figures 3 to 7 The flashlight 100 includes a shell assembly 2, a light source assembly 3 and a driving assembly 1. The specific structure of the driving assembly 1 refers to the above embodiment. Since the flashlight 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] The drive assembly 1 and the light source assembly 3 are separately disposed within the housing assembly 2 and arranged side by side along a first direction, which is the axial direction of the flashlight 100. The drive assembly 1 is connected to the light source assembly 3 to drive the light source assembly 3 to emit light to achieve illumination. The housing assembly 2 is provided with a display port 221, and the display surface of the display module 13 of the drive assembly 1 is arranged to face the display port 221, so that in actual application, the content of the display module 13 can be displayed outwardly through the display port 221 for the user to view and understand the battery level, remaining operating time, and current operating mode of the flashlight 100.

[0049] There are many forms of implementation of the housing assembly 2, see Figure 6In one embodiment of the present invention, the housing assembly 2 may include, but is not limited to, a lamp housing 21 and a barrel 22. The light source assembly 3 is mounted within the lamp housing 21, and the driving assembly 1 is mounted within the barrel 22. The lamp housing 21 and the barrel 22 are detachably connected, for example, by threading or plugging. In this embodiment, the lamp housing 21 and the barrel 22 are threadedly connected. This connection method not only improves the stability of the connection between the lamp housing 21 and the barrel 22, but also enhances the ease of assembly of the light source assembly 3 and the driving assembly 1.

[0050] There are many ways to implement the light source assembly 3. Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the light source assembly 3 may include but is not limited to glass 31, a reflective cup 32, a positioning seat 33, a light source plate 34, and an ejector plate 35.
