TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of outdoor recreation, sports equipment, and particularly to a luminous belt for outdoor equipment and a fixing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hammocks, swings, tents, outdoor folding chairs, trampolines, swimming pools, basketball stands, goals and other equipment are widely used in various entertainment and leisure places, amusement parks and rural activity centers as sports and entertainment items, and are very popular among children and teenagers. Since amusement parks are usually open in the evening or 24 hours a day, there is a high safety risk during use at night or in low light conditions, especially for people with weak safety awareness such as children and teenagers. Therefore, some people have proposed setting up a luminous area on these outdoor equipment, which not only provides safety in use, but also improves the interest of the equipment.

[0003] See US patent document No. US10117503B1, which discloses a hammock with integrated lights. The technical solution adopted is: a lighting hammock, comprising a flexible hammock, a light assembly and a flexible light suspension system. The light assembly includes first and second flexible non-elastic light lines that extend along opposite sides of the hammock and have corresponding proximal and distal ends. The wire connector is formed at the proximal end. The wire connector is located near the first end of the hammock, and the distal end extends towards the other end of the hammock. The flexible light suspension system is connected to the light assembly and is adapted to elastically tension the first and second light lines when a user is on the hammock. In this technical solution, the light-emitting body still uses the traditional "string of lights", which needs to be connected by several light-emitting units (such as light bulbs or LEDs, etc.) through wires to form a long strip-shaped light string. The entire light string is installed in a transparent plastic tube. When installing, the edge of the fabric constituting the hammock is sewn with a sleeve, and the plastic tube is inserted into the sleeve to form a fixed connection.
