Detailed Implementation

[0041] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-11 This application will be described in further detail.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] This application discloses a lighting device mounted on a walking stick, referring to... Figure 1 The illuminator includes a main housing 10, which includes a front housing 1 and a rear housing 2. In this embodiment, the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 are fixed by ultrasonic welding. In other embodiments, the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 can be fastened by screws.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 An elastic strap 3, made of soft rubber, is clamped and fixed between the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 of the lighting system on the same side. One end of the elastic strap 3 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip strip 31. The side walls of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 of the lighting system, which are close to each other, have slots 21 for the soft rubber strap to pass through. The width of the anti-slip strip 31 is larger than the width of the slots 21. After the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 of the lighting system are fixed, the anti-slip strip 31 abuts against the inner side walls of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 of the lighting system. A hook 22 is protruding and fixed on the other side of the rear cover 2 of the lighting system. The free end of the elastic strap 3 has multiple hook holes 32, which are spaced apart along the length of the elastic strap 3. After the free end of the elastic strap 3 is wrapped around the back of the cane 20, the hook hole 32 on the free end of the elastic strap 3 is hooked to the hook 22.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4The back of the lighting housing 2 has a mounting surface 23 that conforms to the outer peripheral wall of the cane 20. An elastic pad 24 is attached and fixed to the mounting surface 23 and abuts against the outer wall of the cane 20. The elastic pad 24 is a soft rubber pad. In other embodiments, the abutting surface of the elastic pad 24 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 241 to improve the friction between the elastic pad 24 and the cane 20.

[0046] The lower end of the lighting front shell 1 is integrally formed with a lamp head 11, which contains a light-emitting element. Specifically, the light-emitting element is an LED light panel 111 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the lamp head 11. A lamp cover 12 is fixedly connected to the lamp head 11, and a transparent light sheet 121 located below the LED light panel 111 is fixedly connected to the lamp cover 12. In this embodiment, the lamp cover 12 is a soft rubber cover, which is fixed to the lower part of the lamp head 11 by ultrasonic welding. When the user places the lighting device on the cane 20 on the edge of the table, the lower end of the lamp cover 12 contacts the table surface, providing a large friction force, effectively preventing the lighting device from slipping off the edge of the table, making it very convenient to hang the cane 20 on the edge of the table.

[0047] Reference Figure 5 The main housing 10 of the lighting unit houses a main control circuit board 4 and an LED light panel 111 powered by a battery 5. The battery 5 is installed in the inner cavity of the rear housing 2 of the lighting unit, and the main control circuit board 4 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the front housing 1 of the lighting unit. The main control circuit board 4 is equipped with a lighting control module, which includes a control button 411 fixedly connected to the front of the main control circuit board 4. The front of the front housing 1 of the lighting unit has a control hole 13 communicating with the inner cavity. The front housing 1 of the lighting unit has a push-button cover 14 that slides through the control hole 13. The inner wall of the push-button cover 14 abuts against the control button 411. An elastic post 141 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the push-button cover 14. The elastic post 141 is fixedly connected to the front of the main control circuit board 4. The elastic post 141 is used to force the push-button cover 14 to slide and reset. By pressing the push-button cover 14 once, the lighting circuit is connected and the LED light panel 111 is turned on. After pressing the push-button cover 14 again, the lighting circuit is disconnected and the LED light panel 111 is turned off.

[0048] The main control circuit board 4 is equipped with a GPS locator 42, which continuously sends signals to the mobile phone of the person being bound, allowing them to view the location of the lighting device in real time.

[0049] The implementation principle of a lighting device mounted on a cane 20 according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When the lighting device is mounted on the cane 20, the elastic pad 24 on the mounting curved surface 23 of the lighting back shell 2 abuts against the front peripheral wall of the cane 20. After the elastic strap 3 on the main shell 10 of the lighting device is wrapped around the back of the cane 20, the hook hole 32 on the free end of the elastic strap 3 is hung on the hook 22, and the lighting device can be fixed to the cane 20. The lighting device and the cane 20 are fixed by the elastic strap 3, which makes it easy to adjust the fixed position of the lighting device on the cane 20 according to the usage needs of different people.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] The difference from Example 1 is that, referring to Figure 6 , Figure 7 The lighting control module also includes a first control unit 412 disposed on the main control circuit board 4, a photosensitive element 413 built into the main housing 10 of the lighting unit and electrically connected to the first control unit 412, and a gyroscope 414 built into the main housing 10 of the lighting unit and electrically connected to the first control unit 412. The first control unit 412 includes a first control chip and its peripheral circuits mounted on the main control circuit board 4. In this embodiment, the first control chip is model FT61E133A-RB / SOP-16. A photosensitive hole 15 communicating with the inner cavity is opened on the side wall of the lighting rear housing 2, and the photosensitive element 413 passes through the photosensitive hole 15.

[0052] The photosensitive element 413 can detect the light intensity of the external environment through the photosensitive hole 15 and transmit the detection result to the first control chip, thereby controlling the on / off state of the LED light panel 111. The LED light panel 111 will only remain lit in a dark environment; otherwise, it will not light up to save power. The gyroscope 414 can sense the movement of the cane 20. If the cane 20 remains stationary for more than 10 seconds, the first control chip controls the LED light panel 111 to turn off until the cane 20 is lifted, at which point the first control chip controls the LED light panel 111 to turn on. In this embodiment, the LED light panel 111 will only light up when the control button 411 is turned on, the cane 20 is in motion, and the photosensitive element 413 is in a dark environment.

[0053] Example 3:

[0054] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that a light fixture is mounted on a cane, as shown in the following example. Figure 8 , Figure 9The device also includes a charging base 6. The side wall of the charging base 6 has a first magnetic suction hole 61. The charging base 6 has a first magnetic charging port 62 that slides into the first magnetic suction hole 61. A base body 63 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the charging base 6. A compression spring 64 is fixedly connected to the base body 63. The end of the compression spring 64 is fixedly connected to the first magnetic charging port 62. Under normal conditions, the compression spring 64 forces the first magnetic charging port 62 to slide out from the outer wall of the charging base 6. The outer wall of the charging base 6 has a USB port 65, which is electrically connected to the first magnetic charging port 62. The charging base 6 connects to an adapter via the USB port 65.

[0055] Reference Figure 10 Battery 5 is a lithium battery, and cover 14 is a transparent cover. The main control circuit board 4 is equipped with a charge / discharge control module 43, which includes a second control unit 431 mounted on the main control circuit board 4, a second magnetic charging port 432 electrically connected to the second control unit 431, and an LED indicator 433 electrically connected to the main control circuit board 4. The second control unit 431 includes a second control chip and its peripheral circuitry mounted on the main control circuit board 4. In this embodiment, the second control chip is model TP4056 / ESOP-8. The LED indicator 433 is located in the area covered by cover 14. A second magnetic hole 16 is provided on the side wall of the lighting front housing 1 for the second magnetic charging port 432 to pass through, and the second magnetic charging port 432 is exposed outside the main housing 10 of the lighting unit.

[0056] When the lithium battery is fully charged, LED indicator 433 flashes once every 5 seconds, indicating normal battery level. When the lithium battery level is less than 20%, LED indicator 433 flashes once every 1 second, indicating insufficient battery level and the need for charging. When the battery level drops further to at least 5%, LED indicator 433 turns off, and the entire lighting device shuts off. During charging, LED indicator 433 flashes once every 5 seconds until charging is complete, at which point it remains constantly lit.

[0057] Reference Figure 9 , Figure 11 An adhesive strip 67 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the charging base 6, allowing the charging base 6 to be adhered and fixed to the edge of the table. A support block 66 protrudes from the lower part of the outer wall of the charging base 6. A snap-fit ​​groove is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the cane 20, the lower end of the lighting back cover 2, and the outer wall of the lamp head 11. The cane 20 equipped with the lighting device can be placed on the support base, and the support block 66 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove. At this time, the second magnetic charging port 432 and the first magnetic charging port 62 magnetically engage. The USB port 65 is connected to the adapter for charging. The adapter is connected to the room power, the charging circuit is turned on, and the charging base 6 charges the lithium battery.

[0058] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
