Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zipper technology, specifically to a light-emitting zipper head structure. Background Technology
[0002] A zipper consists of teeth, a slider, and top and bottom stops (front and back stops) or locking mechanisms. The teeth are the key component, directly determining the zipper's lateral pulling strength. Generally, a zipper has two straps, each with a row of teeth, arranged alternately. The slider grips the teeth on both sides, and by sliding along the pull tab, the teeth can engage or disengage. During use, the two rows of teeth must be aligned before pulling. Misalignment or clothing getting caught inside the zipper can cause it to jam. If resistance is encountered and the zipper cannot be stopped in time, it will affect its normal use, especially when children are using it, as they cannot receive the stop signal in time, leading to the zipper jamming or even damage to clothing and the zipper. Utility Model Content
[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a light-emitting zipper head structure, which solves the problem of not being able to provide advance warning of zipper jamming.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a luminous zipper head structure, including a zipper piece, a snap-fit hole is provided on the rear side of the top of the zipper piece, an auxiliary switch is installed on the top of the zipper piece and located behind the snap-fit hole, a switch mounting groove is provided on the top of the zipper piece, a constantly lit switch for surrounding an LED strip is installed inside the switch mounting groove, the surrounding LED strip is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the zipper piece, and a pull force indicator device is provided on the front side of the top of the zipper piece for indicating the pull force when using the zipper.
[0007] Preferably, the tension indicator device includes a mounting cavity, a partition plate, a battery, a sealing base plate, a push switch, a support spring, a button plate, and a colored light ring. The mounting cavity is located at the top front side of the zipper piece. The partition plate is installed inside the mounting cavity and positioned below it. The sealing base plate is threaded into the mounting cavity and located below the battery. The push switch is installed on top of the partition plate. The button plate is movably engaged inside the mounting cavity and located above the push switch. The colored light ring is installed on top of the zipper piece and located outside the mounting cavity.
[0008] Preferably, an external communication notch is provided on the outer side of the snap-fit hole, and an inner rotating ring is rotatably snapped into the inside of the snap-fit hole, with an internal communication notch provided on the outer wall of the inner rotating ring.
[0009] Preferably, the push-button switch and the colored light ring are electrically connected.
[0010] Preferably, the opening widths of the outer connecting notch and the inner connecting notch are equal, and a rubber damping pad is provided between the inner rotating ring and the snap-fit hole.
[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary switch is electrically connected to the colored light ring, and the push switch and the auxiliary switch are electrically connected to the colored light ring in series.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a light-emitting zipper head structure, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This illuminated zipper head structure allows the thumb to rest on the button plate while the index finger supports the bottom of the zipper plate. When the zipper plate is lifted upwards, the auxiliary switch contacts the zipper head and is pressed. Simultaneously, the thumb presses the button plate. During normal use, the resistance is low, and the pressure on the button plate is small, preventing the light ring from illuminating. When the zipper jams, the pressure of the thumb on the button plate increases, causing the button plate to press the switch. This causes the light ring to illuminate, indicating excessive pulling force. This serves as a reminder to check if the zipper is aligned and if there are any foreign objects stuck inside the zipper, thus preventing children from pulling the zipper too forcefully and damaging the zipper or clothing. This timely reminder effectively prevents zipper damage.
[0014] 2. This illuminated zipper pull design allows the surrounding LED strip to light up when the constant-on switch is pressed. The LED strip illuminates outwards along the outer edge of the zipper, preventing children from being easily seen and bumping into it while walking at night, thus improving children's safety when walking at night.
[0015] 3. This luminous zipper head structure, through the cooperation of the snap-fit hole, the outer connecting notch, the inner rotating ring, and the inner connecting notch, allows the device to be quickly installed onto the zipper head, and can be quickly removed when the garment is not in use, making it convenient to use.

In addition, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a light-emitting zipper head structure, including a zipper piece 1. A snap-fit hole 2 is provided on the rear side of the top of the zipper piece 1. An auxiliary switch 3 is installed on the top of the zipper piece 1 and located on the rear side of the snap-fit hole 2. A switch mounting groove 4 is provided on the top of the zipper piece 1. A constantly lit switch 7 for surrounding a light strip 5 is installed inside the switch mounting groove 4. The light strip 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the zipper piece 1. A tension indicator device 6 is provided on the front side of the top of the zipper piece 1 for indicating the tension when using the zipper.
[0023] Furthermore, the tension indicator 6 includes a mounting cavity 61, a partition plate 62, a battery 63, a sealing base plate 64, a push switch 65, a support spring 66, a button plate 67, and a color light ring 68. The mounting cavity 61 is located at the top front side of the zipper piece 1. The partition plate 62 is installed inside the mounting cavity 61, and the partition plate 62 is positioned below the partition plate 63. The sealing base plate 64 is threaded into the mounting cavity 61 and located below the battery 63. The push switch 65 is installed on top of the partition plate 62, and the button plate 67 is movably engaged inside the mounting cavity 61. The light ring 68 is located above the push switch 65 and is installed on the top of the zipper piece 1 and outside the mounting cavity 61. When the zipper is closed by pulling the zipper piece 1, the resistance of the pull is fed back as the pressing force applied to the zipper ring 6. The pressing force of the zipper ring 6 is converted into the switching of the light ring 68. When the pulling force is too great, the light ring 68 will light up to indicate that the pulling force should be stopped in time, thus preventing damage to the zipper or clothing.
[0024] Furthermore, an external connecting notch 21 is provided on the outer side of the snap-fit hole 2, and an inner rotating ring 22 is rotatably snapped into the inside of the snap-fit hole 2. An internal connecting notch 23 is provided on the outer wall of the inner rotating ring 22. Rotating the inner rotating ring 22 makes the internal connecting notch 23 connect with the external connecting notch 21, so that the zipper piece 1 can be installed, connected and disassembled with the zipper head, which is convenient to use.
[0025] Furthermore, the push switch 65 and the colored light ring 68 are electrically connected. The pressure applied by pressing the push switch 65 controls whether the colored light ring 68 lights up. When the zipper head is stuck, if the force is increased to pull the zipper head, the pull force indicator 6 will become brighter as the pressure increases, thereby improving the warning effect.
[0026] Furthermore, the opening widths of the outer connecting notch 21 and the inner connecting notch 23 are equal. When the outer connecting notch 21 and the inner connecting notch 23 are connected, disassembly and installation can be performed. A rubber damping pad is provided between the inner rotating ring 22 and the snap-fit hole 2. The rubber damping pad makes the inner rotating ring 22 stable after rotation, preventing the inner connecting notch 23 and the outer connecting notch 21 from being connected by error, which would lead to detachment.
[0027] Furthermore, the auxiliary switch 3 is electrically connected to the LED ring 68, and the push switch 65 and the auxiliary switch 3 are connected in series with the LED ring 68. The LED ring 68 will only light up when the zipper is pulled up to close, the auxiliary switch 3 is pressed against the zipper head, and the push switch 65 is also subjected to pressure. In the non-pull-up state, the LED ring 68 will not light up if the push switch 65 is pressed, thus preventing the LED ring 68 from lighting up due to accidental touch of the push switch 65.
[0028] In use, by rotating the inner rotating ring 22, the inner connecting notch 23 is rotated to the same side as the outer connecting notch 21. The snap-fit hole 2 is then engaged with the zipper head through the notch connecting the outer connecting notch 21 and the inner connecting notch 23. Then, the inner rotating ring 22 is rotated again to misalign the inner connecting notch 23 and the outer connecting notch 21. After installation, when using the device, place your thumb on the button plate 67 and your index finger on the bottom of the zipper plate 1. When you lift the zipper plate 1 upwards, the auxiliary switch 3 contacts the zipper head and is pressed. At the same time, the thumb... When the zipper is pulled normally, the resistance is small and the pressure is low, so the switch 65 will not trigger the LED ring 68 to light up. When the zipper is stuck, the pressure of the thumb on the button 67 increases, and the button 67 presses the switch 65, which then controls the LED ring 68 to light up to indicate that the pulling force is too great. This serves as a reminder to check whether the zipper is aligned and whether there are any foreign objects stuck inside the zipper. The greater the pressure on the switch 65, the brighter the LED ring 68 becomes, thus achieving the purpose of providing the reminder.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
