[0039] Sustainable materials: The shell and accessories are made primarily of recyclable or biodegradable materials to reduce environmental impact and promote the concept of green camping.
[0040] Modular portable camping lights not only meet basic lighting needs, but also provide users with a more flexible, diverse, and personalized camping experience through innovative design.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment, a control board is provided inside the housing 1, and a control button 2 and a power indicator light 5 are provided on the housing 1. The lighting lamp, power supply, control button 2, and power indicator light 5 are all electrically connected to the control board.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the lighting lamp includes a lamp sheet 3 and a lamp cover 4 covering the lamp sheet 3, which has a simple structure and strong practicality.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the winding mechanism 16 includes a rotating drum 6 and a central rod 12. The central rod 12 is vertically connected inside the housing 1, and the rotating drum 6 is sleeved outside the central rod 12. A spring-loaded spring 11 connects the rotating drum 6 and the central rod 12. The end of an elastic band 15 is connected to the rotating drum 6, and the elastic band 15 is wound around the outer surface of the rotating drum 6. By pulling the elastic band 15, the rotating drum 6 can rotate against the torque of the spring-loaded spring 11. When the elastic band 15 is released, the rotating drum 6 can rotate under the torque of the spring-loaded spring 11 to retract the elastic band 15. Two positioning rods 7 are arranged outside the rotating drum 6 and are fixedly connected inside the housing 1 to prevent the rotating drum 6 from shaking when rotating. At least two circular protruding rings are provided around the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 6. Corresponding to the circular protruding rings, there are sliding grooves on the inner wall of the positioning rod 7. The circular protruding rings are embedded in the sliding grooves of the positioning rod 7. Through the cooperation of the circular protruding rings and the sliding grooves, the rotating cylinder 6 can be stably positioned and rotated.
[0044] Structure and working principle of winding mechanism 16:
[0045] The winding mechanism 16 is an important component of the modular portable camping light. It is mainly responsible for the winding and unwinding of the elastic band 15, ensuring that users can easily adjust the length of the elastic band as needed and neatly store it when not in use.
[0046] 1. Center Rod 12: The center rod 12 serves as a support structure for the winding mechanism 16 and is vertically connected within the housing 1. It is typically made of robust and durable materials, such as stainless steel or alloys, to ensure sufficient strength and stability. The center rod 12 is designed to serve as the rotation axis of the drum 6 and to provide a fixed connection point for the spring 11.
[0047] 2. Rotating Cylinder 6: The rotating cylinder 6 is a cylindrical or tubular component that is fitted around the outside of the central rod 12. A certain gap is maintained between the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 6 and the central rod 12 to ensure smooth rotation around the central rod 12. The outer surface of the rotating cylinder 6 is designed with grooves or textures for winding the elastic band 15, increasing the friction between the elastic band and the rotating cylinder and preventing the elastic band from slipping during operation.
[0048] 3. Spring 11: Spring 11 is a key component in the winding mechanism 16, connecting the rotating drum 6 and the central rod 12. Spring 11 is designed to deform and store energy when subjected to external force. When the external force disappears, it releases the stored energy and drives the rotating drum 6 to rotate. This design allows the elastic band 15 to unfold against the torque of spring 11 when pulled, and to automatically retract under the action of spring 11 when released.
[0049] 4. Elastic Band 15: The elastic band 15 is the output component of the winding mechanism 16. Its end is connected to the rotating drum 6 and wound around the outer surface of the rotating drum 6. The elastic band 15 is typically made of a highly elastic material, such as rubber or nylon, to ensure good tensile strength and resilience. Users can adjust its length by pulling the elastic band 15 and use it to fix or connect other items.
[0050] Working principle:
[0051] When the user needs to unfold the elastic band 15, simply hold the free end of the elastic band 15 and pull it outward. During this process, the elastic band 15 will unfold along the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 6, and at the same time drive the rotating cylinder 6 to rotate against the torque of the spring 11. As the elastic band 15 gradually unfolds, the spring 11 will continuously store energy.
[0052] When the user releases the elastic band 15, the spring 11 releases its stored energy and drives the rotating drum 6 to rotate in the opposite direction. During this process, the rotating drum 6 retracts the elastic band 15 along its outer surface until the elastic band 15 is completely wound around the rotating drum 6. This design not only makes the operation of retracting and extending the elastic band 15 simple and quick, but also ensures that the elastic band can maintain good performance and lifespan even after long-term use.
[0053] In summary, the winding mechanism 16, through the coordinated action of the rotating drum 6, the central rod 12, and the spring 11, achieves the automatic winding and unwinding function of the elastic band 15. This design not only improves the practicality and convenience of the modular portable camping light but also provides users with more flexible and diverse usage methods.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the rear end of the housing 1 is provided with an openable and closable rear lamp cover 10, which has a simple structure and strong practicality.
[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the size of the fastener 14 is larger than the size of the strip opening to prevent the fastener from retracting into the housing 1. This design is simple and highly practical.
[0056] Finally, it should be noted that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of this utility model should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
