Detailed Implementation

[0024] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a specific embodiment of the "Multifunctional Warning Light for Bicycles" is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] See Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the warning light is mounted on a detachable bicycle frame 100. The warning light includes a base box 200 with a top cover 201 forming a hollow outer shell. The base box 200 has transparent sidewalls 202 on both sides. A power supply 203 is located inside the base box 200. The power supply 203 is electrically connected to a circuit board assembly 204, which is electrically connected to side light strips 205 and a main light strip 206. Users can edit the light-emitting dot matrix of the side light strips 205 and the main light strip 206 through the circuit board assembly. The light can form patterns or text of different shapes and colors. A light-transmitting opening 207 and a button 208 are provided on the top cover 201. The button 208 is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 204. The button can be a touch button or a mechanical press button. Users can control the side light strip 205 and the main light strip 206 to turn on or off or adjust the brightness through the button. The side light strip 205 emits light through the transparent side wall 202, and the main light strip 206 emits light through the light-transmitting opening 207, ensuring that the top and left and right side walls of the light-emitting lamp can emit light. The warning light of this patent adopts a detachable and independent design, powered by an independent power supply 203. It controls the side light strip 205 and the main light strip 206 through the circuit board assembly 204. When on the bicycle frame 100, the side light strip 205 can display patterns or fonts of different colors and shapes, which can serve as both a safety warning and a welcome light. The patterns or text can be customized to meet individual needs, combining safety and personalization. Furthermore, when the cyclist reaches the destination and needs to camp overnight, the warning light can be removed and used as a camping light or ambient light, making it versatile.

[0026] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the circuit board assembly 204 may include communication connection control modules such as an editing control module, a satellite communication module, a positioning module, and a Bluetooth connection module. Users can use mobile phone software to locate it, edit the luminous pattern, and perform other operations to meet various modern needs.

[0027] See further Figure 1In this embodiment, a fixing groove 101 is provided on the bicycle frame 100, and the warning light is detachably fixed in the fixing groove 101. The outer surface of the warning light is flush with the outer surface of the bicycle frame 100. In this way, when the warning light is installed on the bicycle frame 100, it blends into the bicycle and does not look abrupt. It is both beautiful and practical.

[0028] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, an electronic lock assembly 209 is provided at one end of the bottom box 200. The electronic lock assembly 209 is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 204. The warning light is locked and fixed in the fixing groove 101 by the electronic lock assembly 209. It can be unlocked by electronic control via mobile phone software or by NFC sensing.

[0029] More specifically, in this embodiment, a mechanical lock assembly 210 is also provided at the other end of the bottom box 200. This can be used to unlock the mechanical lock assembly 210 with a key or other mechanical parts. In use, the user only needs to unlock either the electronic lock assembly 209 or the mechanical lock assembly 210 to remove the warning light from the fixing slot 101. In this way, when the electronic lock assembly 209 malfunctions and cannot be unlocked, the user can mechanically unlock the mechanical lock assembly 210 to remove the warning light, providing double unlocking security.

[0030] See further Figure 3 In this embodiment, a transparent inner box 211 is provided inside the bottom box 200. The power supply 203, circuit board assembly 204, side light strip 205 and main light strip 206 are all arranged in the inner box 211. A transparent cover 212 is provided on the inner box 211 to form a sealed and transparent inner protective shell to protect the electrical components inside the warning light, and to provide waterproof and dustproof protection, thus achieving the effect of isolation and protection.

[0031] More specifically, in this embodiment, a receiving groove 213 is provided on the inner side of the bottom wall of the base box 200, and a magnet 214 is fixedly installed in the receiving groove 213. In this way, when the warning light is removed for use, the user can magnetically hang the warning light to other desired positions without using other objects to fix the warning light, making the warning light more convenient to use. In addition, an anti-slip strip 215 is provided on the bottom of the base box 200 to increase the friction of the bottom surface of the warning light.

[0032] It should be noted that the light source of this application is mainly used on electric bicycles (E-bike), but it can also be used on ordinary bicycles. In this embodiment, when the warning light is used on an electric bicycle, a power terminal 102 electrically connected to the main battery of the electric bicycle can be provided in the fixing slot 101, and a charging interface 216 electrically connected to the power supply 203 is provided on the top cover 201. When the warning light is placed in the fixing slot 101, the charging interface 216 is connected to the power terminal 102, which can charge the warning light; and the warning light can communicate with the CAN bus of the electric bicycle. When the electric bicycle is started, the warning light will flash dynamically to achieve a personalized welcome light effect. In some embodiments, a discharge port electrically connected to the power supply 203 can be provided on the bottom shell / top cover 201 of the warning light. By connecting the discharge port and the mobile device with a charging cable, the mobile device can be powered, making the warning light also function as a power bank.
