[0037] Reference Figure 1-9 This application proposes an embodiment of a vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly, which includes a flashlight body 20. The flashlight body 20 includes:
[0038] The circuit assembly 21 includes a housing 211, a circuit board 216 disposed within the housing 211, and a charging module 23 and a power module 24 electrically connected to the circuit board 216. The housing 211 is provided with a button 214 and a charging interface 213. The front end of the housing 211 is open and a first light-emitting part 212 is provided on the side. A second lens 25 is provided at the front end of the housing 211. The circuit board 216 is also connected to a front light-emitting element 29 located behind the second lens 25 and a side light-emitting element 26 located at the first light-emitting part 212.
[0039] The zoom lens cap 22 is slidably mounted on the front opening of the housing 211. The front side of the zoom lens cap 22 is provided with a second light-emitting part 221. The zoom lens cap 22 is provided with a first lens 27 distributed between the rear side of the second light-emitting part 221 and the second lens 25.
[0040] The button 214 is used to control the brightness of the side light-emitting element 26 and the front light-emitting element 29, and / or to control the strobe of the front light-emitting element 29.
[0041] The button 214 can control the brightness of the opposite light-emitting element 26 and the front light-emitting element 29, as well as the strobe of the front light-emitting element 29, by the duration of the button 214.
[0042] The vehicle flashlight assembly with the above structure is normally placed inside the vehicle and can be used to provide illumination when the light inside and outside the vehicle is insufficient. The brightness of the front light-emitting element 29 and the side light-emitting element 26 can be adjusted separately to turn on, off, and adjust the brightness.
[0043] For example, when cycling, hiking, or searching for items, the brightness of the front light-emitting element 29 and the side light-emitting element 26 can be adjusted to be brighter, thereby providing the user with better visibility;
[0044] When engaging in outdoor activities such as fishing, barbecuing, and bonfire parties, the brightness of the front light-emitting element 29 and the side light-emitting element 26 can be adjusted to a dimmer level to provide illumination for the activity while ensuring the battery life of the flashlight assembly.
[0045] When using the vehicle-mounted flashlight assembly in different scenarios, the size of the flashlight spot can be infinitely adjusted by moving the zoom head cover 22. When searching for objects, the spot can be adjusted to be smaller to achieve high-brightness focused illumination, and when carrying out outdoor activities, the spot can be adjusted to be larger to achieve floodlight illumination.
[0046] When the front light-emitting element 29 is lit while the side light-emitting element 26 is not lit, the flashlight body 20 can be held forward for use. When the side light-emitting element 26 is lit while the front light-emitting element 29 is not lit, the flashlight body 20 can be placed on a flat surface for use.
[0047] It can also control the front light-emitting element 29 to flash, serving as a warning and distress signal;
[0048] The lighting effect and usage method of the vehicle flashlight assembly described in this application can meet the lighting needs of different scenarios outside and inside the vehicle.
[0049] Specifically, the outer wall of the housing 211 is provided with a sliding groove, and the inner wall of the zoom lens cover 22 is provided with a slider that matches the sliding groove. The slider is disposed in the sliding groove and can slide in the sliding groove to adjust the distance between the first lens 27 and the second lens 25.
[0050] The slider is a wedge-shaped block, and the end of the slide groove is provided with a wedge-shaped slot that matches the wedge-shaped block. The slider can slide in the slide groove until it is engaged in the wedge-shaped slot to limit the zoom lens cover 22, thereby fixing the focal length of the vehicle flashlight assembly for user convenience.
[0051] The power module 24 is a battery pack, and the charging interface 213 is used to charge the power module 24. In this embodiment, the charging interface 213 includes a Type-C interface and a Pogo PIN interface. The Type-C interface allows the user to charge the flashlight body 20 through a power bank, and the Pogo PIN interface allows the user to charge the flashlight body 20 through a car charging dock 10.
[0052] The housing 211 has a magnet 28 on the side opposite to the first light-emitting part 212, so as to facilitate the magnetic attachment of the flashlight body 20 to the metal shell for use.
[0053] In this embodiment, the vehicle flashlight assembly further includes a vehicle charging base 10. The vehicle charging base 10 is provided with a groove 11 that matches the shape of the flashlight body 20. The groove 11 is provided with a pin 12 for connecting to the Pogo PIN interface. When the flashlight body 20 is placed in the groove 11, the power module 24 is charged through the electrical connection between the pin 12 and the Pogo PIN interface.
[0054] Preferably, in order to ensure that the flashlight body 20 can be stably stored in the vehicle flashlight, a limiting structure 13 is provided between the groove 11 and the flashlight body 20. The limiting structure 13 is used to limit the flashlight body 20 in the groove 11.
[0055] In this embodiment, the limiting structure 13 includes a locking arm 131, a spring 132, and a button 133. The flashlight body 20 is provided with a locking slot 215. The locking arm 131 is horizontally slidably mounted on the vehicle charging base 10. One end of the locking arm 131 extends into the groove 11 and is locked into the locking slot 215, while the other end is connected to the vehicle charging base 10 via the spring 132. The locking arm 131 is provided with a first inclined surface 134. The button 133 is slidably mounted on the vehicle charging base 10. The lower end of the button 133 is provided with a second inclined surface 135 that abuts against the first inclined surface 134. Under the action of external force, the button 133 can move closer to the locking arm 131 and push the locking arm 131 out of the groove 11 by the second inclined surface 135 and the first inclined surface 134, thus overcoming the elastic tension of the spring 132.
[0056] Pressing the button 133 downwards causes the button 133 to push the locking arm 131 out of the groove 11 and the latch 215 via the second inclined surface 135 and the first inclined surface 134. At this time, the flashlight body 20 can be removed from the vehicle charging base 10. Preferably, the upper end of the vehicle charging base 10 is provided with recessed grip portions 17 on both sides of the groove 11, making it convenient for the user to hold the flashlight body 20 and remove it.
[0057] Furthermore, the inner bottom wall of the groove 11 is also provided with a first elastic pin structure 14. The first elastic pin structure 14 is used to pop up the flashlight body 20 after the limiting structure 13 is released from the flashlight body 20. Pressing down the button 133 pushes the locking arm 131 to overcome the elastic tension of the spring 132 and exit the groove 11 and the locking slot 215 through the second inclined surface 135 and the first inclined surface 134. At this time, the elastic tension of the first elastic pin structure 14 causes the flashlight body 20 to pop up. At this time, the user can release the button 133 and take out the flashlight body 20.
[0058] When the flashlight body 20 is placed in the groove 11 and engaged with the locking arm 131, the pin of the first elastic pin structure 14 compresses the elastic element on the flashlight body 20. After the flashlight body 20 is disengaged from the locking arm 131, the pin of the first elastic pin structure 14 can spring the flashlight body 20 up under the restoring force of the elastic element.
[0059] The limiting structure 13 also includes a second elastic pin structure 15 disposed on the two side walls of the groove 11. The outer side of the flashlight body 20 is provided with a limiting hole 222 that matches the second elastic pin structure 15. When the flashlight body 20 is placed in the groove 11, the pins of the two second elastic pin structures 15 are clamped on both sides of the flashlight body 20 and extend into the limiting hole 222, thereby improving the stability of the flashlight body 20 when it is stored in the groove 11.
[0060] The elastic pin structure includes a pin and an elastic element. One end of the pin extends into the groove 11, and the other end is mounted on the vehicle charging base 10. The pin can compress the elastic element under the flashlight body 20. After the external force is removed, the pin can re-abut against the flashlight body 20 under the restoring force of the elastic element.
[0061] When the flashlight body 20 is placed in the groove 11 and engaged with the locking arm 131, the pins of the first elastic pin structure 14 and the second elastic pin mechanism compress the corresponding elastic elements under the action of external force. After the locking arm 131 is released from the locking slot 215, the pin of the first elastic pin structure 14 can spring up the flashlight body 20 under the restoring force of the elastic element. After the flashlight body 20 is taken out of the groove 11, the second elastic pin structure 15 returns to its initial state under the restoring force of the elastic element.
[0062] Preferably, buffer pads 16 are provided at both ends of the groove 11. The buffer pads 16 are made of rubber material to prevent the inner wall of the groove 11 from scratching the flashlight body 20.
[0063] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
