Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic equipment technology, and in particular to an inflatable soft light and control device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electronic technology, the field of photography is also changing rapidly, from film cameras to today's SLR and mirrorless cameras. At the same time, in today's rapidly developing material life, cameras are indispensable in entertainment companies, news media, newspapers, magazines, and photo studios. When taking photos in a photo studio, if ordinary lights (such as incandescent or fluorescent lamps) emit direct, hard light, it is easy to produce glaring shadows and highlights, and there are significant problems in terms of application scenarios, comfort, and energy consumption. Soft lights, on the other hand, can produce uniform and soft light through diffusion technology, eliminating obvious shadows and glare, and improving the shooting quality of photos when taking photos in a photo studio. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention provides an inflatable soft light and control device, which solves the problems of needing soft light in the studio to eliminate obvious shadows and glare during shooting, as well as to accurately control the working status.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An inflatable soft light includes an airbag and a light source. The four edges of the airbag are connected to the four edges of the light source by a detachable zipper. The surface of the airbag is provided with a soft light area, and the interior is provided with an inflatable cavity. The inflatable cavity is divided into three interconnected areas. The airbag is also provided with an inflation port and a pressure relief valve.

[0006] The light source includes a foldable flexible substrate and several parallel long strip LED light strips evenly installed on the front side of the substrate. A fixing member that can rotate and bend 360 degrees is provided at the geometric center of the back side of the substrate. Velcro that works with the fixing frame is also fixed around the edge of the back side of the substrate. Metal fixing rings are sewn on the four corners. A receiving bag is also sewn on the back side of the substrate. An air pump connected to the air port is provided in the receiving bag.

[0007] Furthermore, the partition is fixed to both sides of the airbag by heat fusion.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a fixing seat, a locking ring, a support rod, and a set screw. The fixing seat is fixed to the geometric center position on the back side of the substrate by bolts. The support rod includes a ball, a central rod that can be bent and changed direction arbitrarily, and a sleeve rod arranged in sequence. The set screw is disposed on the sleeve rod to fix the fixing frame inserted into the sleeve rod. The ball is rotatably fixed inside the cavity formed by the locking ring and the fixing seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure relief valve includes a valve body seat and a pressure relief component. The valve body seat is disposed on one side of the airbag, and the interior of the valve body seat is provided with a pressure relief channel for connecting the inflation chamber and the external environment. The pressure relief component is movably disposed in the pressure relief channel to block or release the pressure relief channel according to the air pressure in the inflation chamber. When the pressure relief component releases the blockage of the pressure relief channel, the inflation chamber is connected to the external environment through the pressure relief channel to depressurize the inflation chamber.

[0010] A control device for an inflatable soft light includes a power module and a control module. The power module is electrically connected to an external power source and the control module. The control device also has a battery compartment for operation in the absence of an external power source. The control module is connected to an air pump and an LED light strip wire, and is used to control the start and stop of the air pump and to control the on / off, brightness adjustment, and color temperature adjustment of the LED light strip.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0012] 1. By setting up an airbag and light source, and creating a soft light zone on the airbag surface, the airbag is inflated during use. When the predetermined air pressure is reached, the air pump stops inflating, the light source turns on, and the soft light, after passing through the soft light zone, provides soft light, eliminating obvious shadows and making the subject look more natural and delicate. The soft light uses high-temperature resistant translucent plastic to convert direct flash light into soft, diffused light, thereby eliminating highlights on the subject and making photos or videos look more natural and beautiful.

[0013] 2. By setting up a control device, the air pump can be started and stopped, and the LED light strip can be switched on and off, and its brightness and color temperature can be adjusted. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 8An inflatable soft light includes an airbag and a light source. The four edges of the airbag are connected to the four edges of the light source via detachable zippers. The surface of the airbag is provided with a soft light area, and an inflatable cavity is provided inside. The inflatable cavity is divided into three interconnected areas. The airbag is also provided with an inflation port and a pressure relief valve. The light source includes a foldable flexible substrate and several parallel long strip LED light strips evenly installed on the front side of the substrate. A fixing member that can rotate and bend 360 degrees is provided at the geometric center of the back side of the substrate. Velcro for use with a fixing frame is also fixed around the edge of the back side of the substrate. Metal fixing rings are sewn on the four corners. A receiving bag is also sewn on the back side of the substrate. An inflation pump connected to the inflation port is provided in the receiving bag.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the airbag 1 and the light source 2 are connected as a whole by a zipper, and a soft light area 11 is set on the front surface of the airbag 1. This softens the light emitted by the light source, eliminates obvious shadows, and makes the subject look more natural and delicate, thereby eliminating highlights on the subject and making the photos or videos look more natural and beautiful. At the same time, an inflation port 14 is set on the airbag 1, and an external air pump 27 is installed. The external air pump 27 inflates the airbag 1 through the inflation port 14, using the partition 1. The inflatable chambers 12 in the three airbags 1 are divided into three interconnected parts, so that the surface of the airbags 1 is held by the partitions 13 to form a relatively flat surface, making the light softer; by setting the fixing parts 23, Velcro 24 and fixing ring 25 on the back of the substrate 21 of the light source 2, the inflatable soft light is fixed to the fixing frame through different connection methods, which further strengthens the fixing strength and realizes 360-degree rotation to adapt to more usage environments; by utilizing the flexibility of the airbags 1 and the substrate 21, the inflatable soft light can be folded for easy carrying when going out.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 The partition is fixed to both sides of the airbag by heat fusion.

[0028] Using the above technical solution, the partition 13 is fixed to the airbag 1 by heat fusion. The partition 13 divides the air chamber 12 in the airbag 1 into 3 interconnected parts, so that the surface of the airbag 1 is pulled by the partition 13 to form a relatively flat surface, making the light softer.

[0029] refer to Figure 8 The fixing component includes a fixing seat, a locking ring, a support rod, and a set screw. The fixing seat is fixed to the geometric center position on the back of the substrate by bolts. The support rod includes a ball, a central rod that can be bent and changed direction arbitrarily, and a sleeve rod arranged in sequence. The set screw is set on the sleeve rod to fix the fixing frame inserted into the sleeve rod. The ball is rotatably fixed inside the cavity formed by the locking ring and the fixing seat.

[0030] Using the above technical solution, through the mutual cooperation of the fixing seat 231, locking ring 232, support rod 233 and set screw 234, the fixing seat 231 fixes the fixing member 23 to the geometric center position on the back of the substrate 21, the locking ring 232 fixes the support rod 233 inside the cavity formed by the locking ring 232 and the fixing seat 231, the bendability of the support rod 233 allows the inflatable soft light to be adjusted to various illumination angles by bending the support rod 233, and the set screw 234 further strengthens the connection strength between the fixing member 23 and the fixing frame.

[0031] refer to Figure 7 The pressure relief valve includes a valve body seat and a pressure relief component. The valve body seat is disposed on one side of the airbag, and the interior of the valve body seat has a pressure relief channel for connecting the inflation chamber and the external environment. The pressure relief component is movably disposed in the pressure relief channel to block or release the pressure relief channel according to the air pressure in the inflation chamber. When the pressure relief component releases the blockage of the pressure relief channel, the inflation chamber is connected to the external environment through the pressure relief channel to depressurize the inflation chamber.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, a pressure relief valve 15 is set, and the valve body seat 151 is set on one side of the airbag 1. The valve body seat 151 has a pressure relief channel 1511 inside for connecting the inflation chamber 12 and the external environment. The pressure relief component 152 is movably set in the pressure relief channel 1511 so as to block or release the pressure relief channel 1511 according to the air pressure in the inflation chamber 12. When the pressure relief component 152 releases the blockage of the pressure relief channel 1511, the inflation chamber 12 is connected to the external environment through the pressure relief channel 1511 so as to release the pressure in the inflation chamber 12.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 A control device for an inflatable soft light includes a power module and a control module. The power module is electrically connected to an external power source and the control module. The control device also has a battery compartment for operation in the absence of an external power source. The control module is connected to an air pump and an LED light strip wire, and is used to control the start and stop of the air pump and to control the on / off, brightness adjustment, and color temperature adjustment of the LED light strip.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, a control device 3 is set up to control the start and stop of the air pump 27 and to control the switch, brightness adjustment and color temperature adjustment of the LED light strip 22.
