[0033] In this embodiment, the folding flashlight includes a head folding assembly 100 and a main body assembly 200;

[0034] The head folding assembly 100 includes a head folding shell 1, a light source assembly, and a head folding base 5. The light source assembly is installed inside the head folding shell 1, and the head folding shell 1 is installed on the head folding base 5.

[0035] The main body component 200 includes a housing and a control board 11. The control board 11 is installed inside the housing. The light source component is connected to the control board 11. The head folding base 5 is hinged to the first end of the housing so that the head folding base 5 can swing relative to the housing.

[0036] Specifically, the head folding shell 1 can be made of aluminum, which is strong and lightweight; the shell can be made of plastic, which is low-cost and lightweight; the head folding base 5 can swing 90° to the left and right relative to the shell. In order to avoid damage to the internal components due to excessive folding angle of the head folding base 5, a limiting structure can be provided on the shell. When the extension direction of the head folding shell 1 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the shell, the head folding base 5 is engaged with the limiting structure on the shell.

[0037] This folding flashlight, by hinged to the first end of the housing with the folding head shell 1, can realize the swing of the folding head shell 1 relative to the housing. Since the light source component is set inside the folding head shell 1, the swing of the folding head shell 1 can drive the angle of the light to change, improve the flexibility of the light source illumination angle, and make it more convenient to use.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first end of the housing extends to provide a first hinge edge and a second hinge edge. The head folding base 5 is installed between the first hinge edge and the second hinge edge, and waterproof damping rings 8 are provided between the head folding base 5 and the first hinge edge and between the head folding base 5 and the second hinge edge. The waterproof damping rings 8 not only provide a good sealing effect but also provide a damping effect. When the head folding base 5 is folded at a certain angle, it can remain stable under the action of the waterproof damping rings 8, thereby ensuring the stability of the head folding shell 1 and the light source assembly. The waterproof damping rings 8 can be made of rubber, which has good elasticity. When the head folding shell 1 or the head folding base 5 is subjected to external force, it can overcome the friction of the rubber ring and adjust the folding angle. When the head folding shell 1 or the head folding base 5 is not subjected to external force, the rubber ring can keep the head folding shell 1 and the head folding base 5 in a stable position.

[0039] In some embodiments, the light source assembly includes a head lens 2, a head lamp panel 3, and a lamp panel fixing member 4. The head lamp panel 3 is equipped with a floodlight 3-1 and a spotlight 3-2. The lamp panel fixing member 4 is mounted on a head folding base 5, the head lamp panel 3 is mounted on the lamp panel fixing member 4, the head lens 2 is sleeved on the lamp panel fixing member 4, and the head folding outer shell 1 is sleeved on the head lens 2. The head lens 2, the head lamp panel 3, and the lamp panel fixing member 4 are all sealed together. For example, waterproof sealing and fixing can be achieved by using sealant, or by setting a sealing gasket.

[0040] In some embodiments, the main body component 200 also includes a back clip 14, one end of which is connected to the housing, and the other end of which has a gap with the housing to facilitate the hanging of the flashlight.

[0041] In some embodiments, the back clip 14 is also provided with a first magnet 13. By setting the first magnet 13, the side wall of the flashlight can be attracted to other support structures for convenient use.

[0042] In some embodiments, the housing includes an upper shell 10 and a lower shell 9, with an anti-horizontal pad 10-1 provided between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 9 to ensure a sealing effect between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 9.

[0043] In some embodiments, a power supply assembly 300 is also included. The power supply assembly 300 includes a battery 24, a battery bottom cover 22, and a negative electrode spring 21. The battery bottom cover 22 is sealed to the second end of the housing. Specifically, a waterproof strip can be provided between the battery bottom cover 22 and the second end of the housing. The housing has a battery 24 receiving cavity. The negative electrode spring 21 is mounted on the battery bottom cover 22 and is used to abut against the negative electrode of the battery 24. The positive electrode of the battery 24 is used to conduct electricity to the control board 11. The battery 24 can supply power to the control board 11.

[0044] In some embodiments, the control board 11 is provided with a positive spring 11-1 and a conductive strip 11-2, and a conductive ring 12 is also installed on the housing. The conductive ring 12 can be connected to the negative terminal of the battery 24. Specifically, the conductive ring 12 is connected to the negative terminal of the battery 24 by connecting with the negative spring 21. The positive spring 11-1 is used to abut against the positive terminal of the battery 24. The end of the conductive strip 11-2 away from the control board 11 is connected to the conductive ring 12 to connect the control board 11 between the positive and negative terminals of the battery 24 so that the battery 24 can supply power to the control board 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, a second magnet 23 is embedded on the side of the battery bottom cover 22 away from the housing, which facilitates the attachment of the bottom of the flashlight to other support structures and can improve the positional stability of the flashlight.

[0046] In some embodiments, the main body component 200 also includes a warning light component, and the housing is provided with a warning light mounting slot for placing the warning light component. By setting the warning light component, the flashlight can have both lighting and warning light effects.

[0047] In some embodiments, the warning light assembly includes a warning light panel 17, a warning light reflector 18, and a warning light transparent cover 19.
