[0032] Detailed Implementation

[0033] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment includes: a first lighting component 1, a second lighting component 2, and a folding connecting component 3; the two ends of the folding connecting component 3 are respectively connected to the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2, and lighting modules are installed on the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 for emitting light. The first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 can be folded or unfolded through the folding connecting component 3. When unfolded, the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 are unfolded at 180°, and the adjacent ends of the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 abut against each other and are fixed with screws. The folding connecting component 3 is placed on the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 to limit rotation and sway, and enhance stability; when folded, the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 are folded to one side simultaneously through the folding connecting component 3, and the entire folding lamp is only half the original length, making it easy to store.

[0035] like Figure 3-5As shown, the folding connecting assembly 3 includes: a first connector 31, a second connector 32, and a connecting rod 33. Both ends of the connecting rod 33 have through holes along their width direction. A first rotating shaft 331 and a second rotating shaft 332 are respectively installed through these through holes at both ends. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 331 and the second rotating shaft 332 protrude from the sides of the connecting rod 33. The first connector 31 has a first sliding groove 311 along its length direction, and the second connector 32 has a second sliding groove 321 along its length direction. The protruding portion of the first rotating shaft 331 slides along the first sliding groove 311, and the protruding portion of the second rotating shaft 332 slides along the second sliding groove 321. Thus, the two ends of the connecting rod 33 are slidably connected to the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 32. When the connecting rod 33 slides to one end of the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 32 near the connecting rod 33, that is, the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 32 are pulled out to the end of the corresponding groove in the direction away from the connecting rod 33, and the connecting rod 33 can rotate relative to the first connecting head 31 and the second connecting head 32. The first connecting head 31 is installed on the first lighting component 1 and drives the first lighting component 1 to move together, and the second connecting head 32 is installed on the second lighting component 2 and drives the second lighting component 2 to move together.

[0036] like Figure 5-6 As shown, both the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 include: a baffle 301, a side plate 302, and a base plate 303. The base plate 303 is perpendicularly connected to the side plates 302 on both sides, and the side plates 302 are connected to the baffle 301 towards the center. The baffle 301 is parallel to the base plate 303. The base plate 303, side plates 302, and baffle 301 together form a cavity for the linear movement of the connecting rod 33. During linear movement, the connecting rod 33 is restricted from rotation by the baffle 301 and the base plate 303. The end of the baffle 301 closest to the connecting rod 33 is shorter than the base plate 303 and the side plates 302, forming a recessed groove. After the connecting rod 33 moves to the end of the groove, it is allowed to rotate from the recessed groove. After rotating a certain angle, the connecting rod 33 is restricted from further rotation by the baffle 301 towards the edge of the recessed groove.

[0037] In this embodiment, the clearance groove is more accurately understood as follows: the entire first lighting component 1 and the first connector 31, as well as the entire second lighting component 2 and the second connector 32, have clearance grooves at one end of the connecting rod 33. The connecting rod 33 rotates relative to the first connector 31 and the second connector 32, and is thus clearanceed in the rotational direction by the clearance groove. That is, the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 should also be provided with clearance grooves to clearance the connecting rod 33. When the dimensions of the clearance grooves of the lighting components and the corresponding connectors are inconsistent, the groove that first causes interference with the connecting rod 33 after rotation should be considered the clearance groove.

[0038] In one embodiment, the connecting rod 33 rotates at an angle of 0-90° relative to the first connector 31 and the second connector 32.

[0039] In one embodiment, the two ends of the connecting rod 33 are set to be semi-circular to prevent the connecting rod 33 from interfering with the wall of the cavity during rotation.

[0040] In one embodiment, a snap-on lamp can be used instead of screws to reinforce the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2, or screws can be omitted from the machining process.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 can move or rotate together relative to the connecting rod 33, or they can move or rotate together relative to the connecting rod 33.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] This embodiment of the folding lamp has two states: a folded state and an unfolded state. In the folded state, the first pivot 331 and the second pivot 332 of the connecting rod 33 are located at or near the end of the corresponding slide groove closest to the connecting rod 33. The first connector 31 and the second connector 32, through the rotation of their corresponding pivots relative to the slide groove, are perpendicular to the connecting rod 33, thereby making the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 perpendicular to the connecting rod 33 and parallel to each other, thus maintaining the overall folded state. In the unfolded state, the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 are aligned in a straight line and unfolded at 180°, and the corresponding first connector 31 and the second connector 32 are also unfolded at 180°. The two ends of the connecting rod 33 move into the internal cavities of the first connector 31 and the second connector 32, respectively. The adjacent end faces of the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 abut against each other, or the adjacent end faces of the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 abut against each other, to restrict movement along the length direction. The two ends of the connecting rod 33 are limited by the corresponding cavity wall and cannot rotate. That is, the first lighting component 1, the second lighting component 2 and the connecting rod 33 cannot rotate relative to each other, thus having good stability.

[0044] During the transition from the folded state to the unfolded state, the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 are first rotated, causing the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 to rotate relative to the connecting rod 33 until they are fully unfolded (180°). Then, the first lighting component 1 and the second lighting component 2 are moved towards each other, causing both ends of the connecting rod 33 to enter their respective cavities until they come into contact. Finally, they are secured with screws to prevent movement, and the clearance groove is covered by a cover plate. The transition from the unfolded state to the folded state is the reverse process.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0046] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the substantive content of this utility model.
