[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a lamp 100 includes a body 101, a light source 304, and a connecting component 403. The body 101 is foldable, allowing it to switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. The light source 304 is mounted on the body 101. The connecting component 403 is mounted on either the body 101 or the light source 304. The connecting component 403 includes two first connectors 404. When the body 101 is in the folded state, the two first connectors 404 are detachably connected to prevent the body 101 from unfolding. In this embodiment of the present invention, the lamp 100 has a connecting component 403 within the body 101. The connecting component 403 includes two first connectors 404. When the lamp 100 is folded and in the folded state, the first connectors 404 of the connecting component 403 are connected to each other, making it difficult for the folded lamp 100 to unfold, thus stably maintaining it in the folded state and improving the folding and storage effect.
[0031] Specifically, in some embodiments of this utility model, the first connecting member 404 can be a magnet, and two first connecting members 404 can magnetically attract each other. In other embodiments, the first connecting member 404 can be a snap-fit, and two first connecting members 404 can snap together. It should be noted that preventing the body 101 from unfolding means reducing the probability of it unfolding due to its own shaking or external impact when it is not opened manually.
[0032] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the body 101 can be folded along a first axis 401 and a second axis 402, with the first axis 401 and the second axis 402 being perpendicular to each other. The body 101 is divided into four sequentially connected sub-sections 406 by the first axis 401 and the second axis 402. The lamp 100 includes two connecting components 403, and each sub-section 406 is provided with a first connector 404. When the body 101 is folded, at least two sub-sections 406 are stacked on top of each other.
[0033] It should be noted that the reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first axis 401 passes through Figure 4 The gap between two adjacent light-emitting plates 405 distributed on the left and right sides, the second axis 402 passes through Figure 4 The gap between two adjacent light-emitting plates 405 distributed vertically in the middle makes it easier to fold the body 101, so that the body 101 will not affect the light-emitting plate 405 when folding.
[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the specific folding process is as follows: First, the main body 101 is folded along the first axis 401. At this time, the first connecting member 404 in the left sub-section 406 is connected to the first connecting member 404 in the right sub-section 406, and the main body 101 becomes... Figure 6 The semi-circular ring shown is then folded along the second axis 402. At this time, the first connector 404 in the upper sub-section 406 is connected to the first connector 404 in the lower sub-section 406, and the body 101 becomes... Figure 7 The quarter-circle shown is thus folded, and the main body 101 is in a folded state. This design allows the main body 101 to be folded twice, making the folded main body 101 smaller and easier to store and organize.
[0035] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the light source 304 includes four light-emitting plates 405, with one light-emitting plate 405 in each sub-section 406. Any two adjacent light-emitting plates 405 are spaced apart, and each light-emitting plate 405 is connected to a first connecting member 404. The distributed light-emitting plate 405 design can better adapt to the folding process of the body 101, so that the body 101 will not obstruct the light-emitting plates 405 when folding. Furthermore, since the light-emitting plates 405 are connected to the first connecting members 404, the first connecting members 404 can also connect well with the light-emitting plates 405 after folding. Moreover, the light-emitting plates 405 have sufficient strength compared to purely flexible light-emitting components, and the luminous effect after unfolding is also better.
[0036] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting component 403 can also be installed on the main body 101, as long as each first connecting member 404 is set in each sub-part 406.
[0037] It should be noted that, preferably, multiple LED beads are arranged on the light-emitting plate 405 as the light source 304. LED beads have a long lifespan, high energy efficiency, and can be configured with various light-emitting modes to meet diverse needs. They also have advantages such as miniaturization, integration, and environmental friendliness. In some embodiments of this utility model, the back plate of the light-emitting plate 405 is mainly made of aluminum. Aluminum as the substrate provides better heat dissipation performance and also has advantages such as light weight and small size.
[0038] It should be noted that the reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first connector 404 is disposed at the center of each light-emitting plate 405, so as to ensure that the first connectors 404 can be better connected to each other after the body 101 is folded.
[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first connecting member 404 is a magnet. When the body 101 is in a folded state, the two first connecting members 404 are magnetically connected to each other. Alternatively, when the body 101 is in a folded state, the two first connecting members 404 are snapped together. The magnetic assembly has a simple structure, is easy to install, can adapt to various structures of the body 101 and the light-emitting panel 405, and is firmly attached. The direction of the magnetic poles can be adjusted as needed. The snap-fit method has the advantages of firm snap-fit and not easy to fall off.
[0040] It should be noted that the reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, when the first connector 404 is a magnet, the specific arrangement of the magnet is as follows: the magnetic pole distribution direction of the magnet is perpendicular to the first axis 401 and the second axis 402, and along the circumference of the body 101, the N and S poles of the four first connectors 404 are alternately distributed on the same side. For example, in some embodiments, when the magnet is like... Figure 4 When set as shown, from Figure 4 Viewed from the axial direction, the magnetic poles of the first connectors 404 at the upper left and lower right corners are N-pole, while those at the lower left and upper right corners are S-pole. This ensures that adjacent first connectors 404 are in a state of attraction between opposite poles when folded, making folding easier. In some embodiments, the two first connectors 404 at opposite corners can be configured as two magnets with the same pole, and two magnetic attractors, such as iron sheets, can be configured at the other opposite corner. This achieves the same technical effect of interconnecting the first connectors 404 when folded.
[0041] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, when the main body 101 is in the unfolded state, the main body 101 is ring-shaped; when the main body 101 is folded, the main body 101 is arc-shaped. In some usage scenarios, such as dressing rooms, a single light fixture 100 is not required for illumination. A ring-shaped design can meet the circumferential lighting needs. Furthermore, the ring-shaped main body 101, when folded, is arc-shaped, resulting in a smaller volume and easier storage and organization. In some embodiments, the main body 101 can also be configured in various shapes such as square or circular.
[0042] refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the body 101 includes an inner peripheral portion 103 and an outer peripheral portion 104 spaced apart radially on the body 101, and a positive ring portion 105 and a back ring portion 305 spaced apart axially on the body 101. The inner ring of the positive ring portion 105 and the inner ring of the back ring portion 305 are both connected to the inner peripheral portion 103, and the outer ring of the positive ring portion 105 and the outer ring of the back ring portion 305 are both connected to the outer peripheral portion 104. The light source 304 has a light-emitting surface 306 facing the positive ring portion 105. The positive ring portion 105 is a transparent part, while the inner peripheral portion 103, the outer peripheral portion 104, and the back ring portion 305 are non-transparent parts. This design allows for more precise lighting requirements. For example, when the luminaire 100 is used as a ring light, only the light needs to be emitted from the front. By making the main ring 105 transparent and the rest of the light source 304 opaque, all the light from the light source 304 can be emitted from the main ring 105, improving the concentration of the light and enhancing the luminous effect. Specifically, the main ring 105 can be made of transparent materials such as polyvinyl chloride or thermoplastic polyurethane.
[0043] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the body 101 is flexible. The body 101 also includes a receiving space 301 and an inflation port. The light source 304 is disposed in the receiving space 301. The inflation port is connected to the receiving space 301 and is used to inflate and deflate the receiving space 301 to deform the body 101. The inflatable body 101 has the advantages of being lightweight and easy to store, making it easier to fold and compress the body 101, convenient for storage when not in use, and easy to carry. It is more suitable for outdoor activities or temporary lighting needs.
[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the body 101 is not flexible. In this case, the folding of the body 101 is achieved by setting multiple pivot structures. Each sub-part 406 of the body 101 can rotate around the pivot to achieve the folding effect. The connecting component 403 can be set outside the body 101. When the body 101 is folded, the first connecting member 404 is connected to each other.
[0045] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the lamp 100 further includes a diaphragm 307, which is disposed within a receiving space 301. The receiving space 301 is divided into a first space 302 and a second space 303 by the diaphragm 307. The light source 304 is installed in the first space 302, and the inflation port is connected to the second space 303. This design isolates the space of the light source 304 from the inflation space, preventing the inflation and deflation process from affecting the circuit board, light-emitting components, and other facilities of the light source 304. It also prevents the components of the light source 304 from affecting the inflation gas and the inflation space during use, thus ensuring the quality and safety performance of both the light emission and inflation.
[0046] It should be noted that the reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first space 302 is set much smaller than the second space 303, and the back ring portion 305 and the diaphragm 307 jointly abut against the light source 304. This can improve the structural stability of the light source 304 set in the body 101 and prevent it from loosening.
[0047] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the lamp 100 further includes a bracket 102. The bracket 102 includes a handle portion 501 and a snap-fit portion 502. The snap-fit portion 502 has an opening 503, and the main body 101 is snapped into the opening 503. The bracket 102 facilitates the carrying of the main body 101. When the main body 101 with the light source 304 needs to be used, the handle portion 501 can be held, and the main body 101 can be snapped into the opening 503 of the snap-fit portion 502, making it easy to carry. It should be noted that, according to reference... Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the snap-fit part 502 is C-shaped, which can better snap the annular body 101. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the snap-fit part 502 is elastic, and the vertical diameter of the opening 503 of the snap-fit part 502 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the annular body 101. This allows the snap-fit part 502 to undergo slight deformation when the body 101 is snapped into the opening 503, and the rebound force of the deformation can make the snap-fit more stable.
[0048] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end of the snap-fit portion 502 is further provided with a snap-fit groove 505, see reference. Figure 1 After the latching part 502 latches onto the body 101, the slot 505 is located within the inner periphery 103 of the body 101. The slot 505 can be used to latch onto external devices such as mobile phones, so that the annular body 101 can better provide supplementary lighting for mobile phones and improve the usage scenarios of the lamp 100.
[0049] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom end of the handle portion 501 is also provided with a threaded hole, which is also used for threaded connection with external devices, such as workbenches, so that the lamp 100 can be threadedly connected to an external platform, enabling more usage scenarios.
[0050] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the handle portion 501 and the locking portion 502 are actively connected by a rotating shaft 506, which allows the locking portion 502 to rotate relative to the handle portion 501 around the rotating shaft 506, thereby changing the light emission angle of the body 101 and improving its applicability.
[0051] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the bracket 102 further includes a second connector 504, which is installed on the snap-fit portion 502. When the bracket 102 is snapped onto the body 101, the second connector 504 is connected to any one of the first connectors 404. This adds a connection structure between the first connector 404 and the second connector 504 to the snap-fit, making the body 101 more securely snapped onto the bracket 102. Specifically, in some embodiments of this utility model, when the first connector 404 is a magnet, the second connector 504 can be configured with opposite magnetic poles attracting each other towards the inside of the opening 503, or it can be configured as a magnetic attracting element such as an iron sheet, thus enabling better connection.
[0052] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first connector 404 and the light-emitting element are both disposed inside the body 101 on the side near the back ring portion 305, and the second connector 504 is disposed at the connection point in the vertical direction of the snap-fit portion 502. In this way, when the body 101 is snapped into the snap-fit portion 502, the distance between the first connector 404 and the second connector 504 can be closer, thereby making their magnetic attraction stronger.
[0053] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
