Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of float technology, and in particular to an integrated self-standing float with the battery compartment installed at the end of the float foot. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, to enable floats to be illuminated at night for anglers' convenience, a light source is typically installed inside the float body. The light source's optical fiber illuminates a light-emitting optical fiber in the float tip, allowing anglers to easily observe the float's real-time status. However, to house the light source and its power battery within the float body, the float design needs to be altered. This might require creating space within the float body for the battery and light source, or designing the float body to be detachable. Figure 1 As shown, the float tip 21 and float foot 22 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the float body 1. The float body 1 can be detached from the top, and the battery and light source can be placed inside the float body 1, which facilitates the installation of the battery and light source. This requires a separate design for the float body and float tip structure, which is not only costly, but also results in a higher defect rate due to the complexity of the structure, causing trouble for manufacturers. At the same time, if the float body and float tip are separated, after a period of use, the gap at the connection between the float body and float tip is prone to leakage or seepage, which seriously affects the life of the float. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated self-standing float with the battery compartment installed at the end of the float foot, which addresses the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: An integrated self-standing float with a battery compartment installed at the end of the float foot includes a float body with a hollow interior, a float tail with a hollow interior and transparent interior, a float foot with a hollow interior, a light-emitting component, a battery, a receiving cavity for accommodating the battery, and a float seat connector. One end of the float tail and one end of the float foot extend into both ends of the float body, respectively. The receiving cavity is located at the end of the float foot away from the float body. The float seat connector is located at the end of the receiving cavity away from the float foot. The light-emitting component is located in the receiving cavity, the float tail, and the float foot. The light-emitting component is electrically connected to the battery and can light up the float tail.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The battery compartment of this utility model is installed in an integrated self-standing float at the end of the float foot. By integrating the float body, float tip, and float foot, the integrity and sealing performance of the float are ensured. The battery and light-emitting components can be conveniently installed by setting a receiving cavity in the float foot. While ensuring the integrity of the float, the float tip is also lit up, so that the float can be lit up at night, which is convenient for anglers to fish at night. There is no need to change the original structure of the float body and float tip. The entire float structure is not affected by the light-emitting performance. There is no need to disassemble the float body and float tip, which ensures the product yield. At the same time, the receiving cavity is set in the float foot, which also improves the float's turning speed when entering the water, so that the float can stand upright on its own, giving anglers a better experience.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows:

[0007] Further: The light-emitting component includes an optical fiber and an LED bead. The LED bead is disposed in the receiving cavity. One end of the optical fiber is inserted into the receiving cavity and aligned with the LED bead. The LED bead is electrically connected to the battery. The other end of the optical fiber passes through the float foot and the float tail in sequence and is inserted into the float tail, so that the light emitted by the LED bead enters the optical fiber and illuminates the float tail.

[0008] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting the LED light beads, in conjunction with the optical fiber that runs through the float stem, float body and float tip, the transparent float tip can be lit up relatively easily, making it convenient to observe the fish biting status when fishing at night.

[0009] Furthermore, the light-emitting component also includes a core for isolating the positive and negative electrodes of the LED beads, the core being disposed between the positive and negative electrodes of the LED beads.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solution are: by setting the glue core, the positive and negative electrodes of the LED lamp bead can be isolated, and at the same time, the glue core can also better fix the LED lamp bead in the receiving cavity, prevent the LED lamp bead from being displaced, and ensure that the light emitted by the LED lamp bead accurately enters the optical fiber.

[0011] Further: The light-emitting component includes a light strip, a PCB board, and a positive electrode spring. The PCB board and the positive electrode spring are respectively disposed within the receiving cavity, and the positive electrode spring is located between the PCB board and the rear wall of the receiving cavity. The positive electrode spring is electrically connected to the PCB board. One end of the light strip is inserted into the receiving cavity and soldered to the PCB board. The PCB board is electrically connected to the battery. The other end of the light strip passes through the float foot and the float tail in sequence and is inserted into the float tail so that the light emitted by the light strip illuminates the float tail.

[0012] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting the light strip through the float foot, float body and float tip, and in conjunction with the PCB board, the battery can easily power the light strip through the PCB board, thereby illuminating the float tip. This makes it easier to light up the transparent float tip, which is convenient for fishing at night and for observing the fish biting the hook.

[0013] Furthermore: the light strip includes conductive lines and LED chips. The conductive lines are disposed within the float foot, float body, and float tail. The LED chips are disposed on the conductive lines and are located within the float tail.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting conductive lines, a conductive path can be provided for all LED chips, so that the PCB board is electrically connected to all LED chips, and the LED chips are lit up, thereby lighting up the drift tail.

[0015] Furthermore, the conductive circuit is an FPC flexible board or a metal wire.

[0016] Furthermore, the float foot is a transparent hollow tube, and the LED chip is located inside the float tail and float foot.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solution are: by setting the float foot as a transparent hollow tube and the LED chip located inside the float tip and float foot, the float tip and float foot can be lit up at the same time. On the one hand, this can improve the fishing experience, and on the other hand, it can attract fish closer and improve the fishing catch.

[0018] Further: The receiving cavity includes a battery compartment, a back cover, and a plug. The end of the battery compartment near the float foot is conical, and one end of the float foot is connected to the corresponding end of the battery compartment. The battery is disposed in the battery compartment. One end of the back cover is connected to the other end of the battery compartment. The plug is connected to the other end of the back cover. The float seat connector is inserted into the end of the plug away from the back cover.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solution are: by setting the battery compartment and the back cover, and in conjunction with the plug, a closed space can be formed to accommodate the battery and some light-emitting components, thereby ensuring the nighttime visibility of the entire float. At the same time, the plug facilitates the installation of the float seat connector, making it easy to connect the float and the fishing line.

[0020] Furthermore, one end of the rear cover is detachably connected to the other end of the battery compartment.

[0021] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further solution is that by detachably connecting one end of the back cover to the other end of the battery compartment, it is convenient to open the receiving cavity, remove the battery or replace the battery when not in use or after the battery is used up. The operation is convenient, simple and practical.

[0022] Furthermore, the receiving cavity also includes a sealing ring, which is disposed between the other end of the battery compartment and one end of the rear cover.

[0023] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting the sealing ring, the sealing performance of the connection between the other end of the battery compartment and the other end of the back cover can be guaranteed, avoiding water leakage between the other end of the battery compartment and the other end of the back cover after a period of use, thus ensuring the working stability of the float.

[0030] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, an integrated self-standing float with a battery compartment installed at the end of the float foot includes a hollow float body 1, a hollow and transparent float tail 21, a hollow float foot 22, a light-emitting component, a battery 5, a receiving cavity for accommodating the battery 5, and a float seat connector 8. One end of the float tail 21 and one end of the float foot 22 extend into the two ends of the float body 1, respectively. The receiving cavity is located at the end of the float foot 22 away from the float body 1. The float seat connector 8 is located at the end of the receiving cavity away from the float foot 22. The light-emitting component is disposed in the receiving cavity, the float tail 21, and the float foot 22. The light-emitting component is electrically connected to the battery 5 and can illuminate the float tail 21.

[0032] This utility model features an integrated self-standing float with the battery compartment installed at the end of the float stem. By integrating the float body 1, float tail 21, and float stem 22, the integrity and sealing performance of the float are ensured. The battery and light-emitting components can be easily installed in the float stem 22, ensuring the integrity of the float while ensuring that the float tail 21 is lit, allowing the float to be lit at night for anglers to fish at night. There is no need to change the original structure of the float body 1 and float tail 21. The entire float structure is not affected by the light-emitting performance, and there is no need to disassemble the float body 1 and float tail 21, ensuring product yield. At the same time, the placement of the housing in the float stem 22 also improves the float's turning speed upon entering the water, enabling the float to stand upright on its own, thus providing anglers with a better experience.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in one or more embodiments of this utility model, the light-emitting component includes an optical fiber 91a and an LED bead 92a. The LED bead 92a is disposed within the receiving cavity. One end of the optical fiber 91a is inserted into the receiving cavity and aligned with the LED bead 92a. The LED bead 92a is electrically connected to the battery 5. The other end of the optical fiber 91a passes through the float stem 22 and the float body 1 in sequence and is inserted into the float tip 21, so that the light emitted from the LED bead enters the optical fiber 91a and illuminates the float tip 21. By setting the LED bead, in conjunction with the optical fiber 91a passing through the float stem 22, the float body 1, and the float tip 21, the transparent float tip 21 can be illuminated relatively easily, facilitating observation of fish biting status during nighttime fishing.

[0034] Optionally, in one or more embodiments of this utility model, the light-emitting component further includes a core 93a for isolating the positive and negative electrodes of the LED beads 92a, the core 93a being disposed between the positive and negative electrodes of the LED beads 92a. By providing the core 93a, the positive and negative electrodes of the LED beads 92a can be isolated, and the core 93a can also better fix the LED beads 92a in the receiving cavity, preventing the LED beads 92a from shifting and ensuring that the light emitted from the LED beads 92a accurately enters the optical fiber 91a.

[0035] In practice, the LED bead 92a is better fixed in the receiving cavity by the glue core 93a. In this way, after the battery 5 is inserted into the receiving cavity, the positive and negative terminals of the LED bead 92a are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery 5 respectively, and the optical fiber 91a is lit.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, in one or more embodiments of this utility model, the light-emitting component includes a light strip 91b, a PCB board 92b, and a positive electrode spring 93b. The PCB board 92b and the positive electrode spring 93b are respectively disposed in the receiving cavity, and the positive electrode spring 93b is located between the PCB board 92b and the rear wall of the receiving cavity. The positive electrode spring 93b is electrically connected to the PCB board 92b. One end of the light strip 91b is inserted into the receiving cavity and soldered to the PCB board 92b. The PCB board 92b is electrically connected to the battery 5. The other end of the light strip 91b passes through the float foot 22 and the float body 1 in sequence and is inserted into the float tail 21, so that the light emitted by the light strip 91b illuminates the float tail 21. By installing the light strip 91b through the float foot 22, float body 1 and float tip 21, and in conjunction with the PCB board 92b, the battery 5 can easily power the light strip 91b through the PCB board 92b, thereby illuminating the float tip 21. This makes it relatively easy to illuminate the transparent float tip 21, which is convenient for fishing at night and observing the fish's bite status.

[0037] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the light strip 91b includes a conductive line 911b and an LED chip 912b. The conductive line 911b is disposed within the float foot 22, the float body 1, and the float tail 21. The LED chip 912b is disposed on the conductive line 911b and is located within the float tail 21. By providing the conductive line 911b, a conductive path can be provided for all LED chips 912b, so that the PCB board 92b is electrically connected to all LED chips 912b, illuminating the LED chips 912b and thus illuminating the float tail 21.

[0038] Optionally, in one or more embodiments of this utility model, the conductive line 911b is an FPC flexible board or a metal wire. In this utility model, the conductive line 911b is preferably an FPC flexible board.

[0039] Optionally, in one or more embodiments of this utility model, the float stem 22 is a transparent hollow tube, and the LED chip is located inside the float tip 21 and the float stem 22. By setting the float stem 22 as a transparent hollow tube and the LED chip being located inside the float tip 21 and the float stem 22, the float tip 21 and the float stem 22 can be lit simultaneously. This can improve the fishing experience and attract fish closer, thus increasing the fishing catch.

[0040] It should be noted that, in practice, the position and arrangement of the LED chips on the light strip 91b can be flexibly changed according to the actual situation. For example, when the float 22 is a transparent hollow tube, LED chips can be set on the conductive line at the position corresponding to the float 22. Furthermore, the LED chips can be arranged at uniform intervals, or in groups of several, connected within a group or spaced apart, with intervals between groups.

[0041] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the receiving cavity includes a battery compartment 3, a rear cover 6, and a plug 7. The end of the battery compartment 3 near the float foot 22 is conical, and one end of the float foot 22 is connected to the corresponding end of the battery compartment 3. The battery 5 is disposed in the battery compartment 3. One end of the rear cover 6 is connected to the other end of the battery compartment 3, and the plug 7 is connected to the other end of the rear cover 6. The float seat connector 8 is inserted into the end of the plug 7 away from the rear cover 6. By setting the battery compartment 3 and the rear cover 6, and cooperating with the plug 7, a closed space can be formed to accommodate the battery and some light-emitting components, thereby ensuring the nighttime visibility of the entire float. At the same time, the plug 7 facilitates the installation of the float seat connector 8, making it easy to connect the float and the fishing line.

[0042] In practice, in order to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the float foot 22 and the battery compartment 3, after one end of the float foot 22 is inserted into the corresponding end of the battery compartment 3, it is necessary to apply adhesive to fix and seal it.

[0043] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, one end of the rear cover 6 is detachably connected to the other end of the battery compartment 3. By detachably connecting one end of the rear cover 6 to the other end of the battery compartment 3, the receiving cavity can be easily opened, the battery removed, or the battery replaced when not in use or after the battery is depleted. The operation is convenient, simple, and practical.

[0044] In this embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the other end of the battery compartment 3 is provided with an external thread, the inner wall of the rear cover 6 is provided with an internal thread, and the other end of the battery compartment 3 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the rear cover 6.

[0045] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the receiving cavity further includes a sealing ring 4, which is disposed between the other end of the battery compartment 3 and one end of the rear cover 6. By providing the sealing ring 4, the sealing performance of the connection between the other end of the battery compartment 3 and one end of the rear cover 6 can be guaranteed, preventing water leakage between the other end of the battery compartment 3 and one end of the rear cover 6 after a period of use, thus ensuring the working stability of the float.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
