Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable lighting technology, and in particular to a camping lamp with an improved switch structure. Background Technology

[0002] As people increasingly value outdoor activities, camping lights have become widely used. Camping lights are lighting tools specifically designed for outdoor camping activities, offering various functions and features to adapt to different outdoor environments and usage needs. Currently, existing camping lights, such as the Chinese utility model patent application CN202222047632.6 (authorization announcement number CN218001216U) entitled "An Outdoor Camping Light," include a lamp holder and a light strip assembly. The lamp holder is equipped with a rotary switch, which controls the opening and closing of the light strip assembly by rotation.

[0003] While the aforementioned camping lights can have their light strips turned on and off via a knob switch, this requires the switch to be installed externally on the lamp holder. This knob switch occupies space on the outer surface of the camping light, affecting its lighting effect and making it inconvenient for users. Furthermore, some camping lights are rechargeable, with the charging port constantly exposed, making it prone to water ingress or dust accumulation, thus affecting charging efficiency. Therefore, further improvements to these camping lights are necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a camping light with an improved switch structure in view of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the camping lamp with improved switch structure includes a lampshade, a light-emitting component installed inside the lampshade, and a switch part installed at the bottom of the lampshade. The switch part is electrically connected to the light-emitting component. The switch part includes a lower cover that can rotate relative to the lampshade, a rotary switch and a circuit board disposed in the lower cover, the rotary switch being connected to the lower cover, and the circuit board having multiple positions. Rotating the lower cover can drive the rotary switch to switch between multiple positions, so that the light-emitting component is in an open or closed state.

[0006] To protect the charging port of the camping light, preferably, the circuit board has a charging port, and the lower cover has a connection port corresponding to the charging port. Rotating the lower cover allows the switch to have at least two states: a first state, where the charging port and the connection port coincide, and the light-emitting component is in the off state; and a second state, where the lower cover drives the rotary switch to the next position, the charging port and the connection port are misaligned, and the light-emitting component is in the on state. When the camping light is in the off state, i.e., the light-emitting component is off, the charging port and the connection port coincide, exposing the charging port for easy charging by the user; when the camping light is on, i.e., the light-emitting component is on, the charging port and the connection port are misaligned, thereby preventing dust or water from entering the charging port and protecting it.

[0007] Furthermore, the circuit board is a ring-shaped plate, with multiple speed settings spaced apart along the circumference of the circuit board. These speed settings include an off position and multiple multi-level speed settings, with the off position located in the center and the multiple multi-level speed settings symmetrically arranged around it. The light-emitting component can be opened by rotating the lower cover in both directions, and the circuit board has multiple multi-level speed settings, allowing the camping light to be adjusted to multiple levels of lighting effect.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower cover has a mounting groove in the center, and the rotary switch has a protrusion that extends downward and corresponds to the mounting groove. The protrusion is installed in the mounting groove, and the lower cover can drive the rotary switch to rotate.

[0009] To facilitate carrying the camping lamp, preferably, the lampshade has a top cover, and a connector is mounted on the top of the top cover. The connector has a through-hole for adjustment. The lampshade has an inverted U-shaped handle on its exterior, with both ends of the handle mounted on either side of the bottom of the lampshade. The horizontal section of the handle passes through the adjustment hole, which provides space for the handle to move up and down. The adjustment hole has a relatively large diameter, and the horizontal section of the handle still has space within it. Therefore, when the two ends of the handle are inserted into the lampshade, the adjustment hole provides a certain amount of swing space for the handle to move up and down, thus facilitating the installation of the handle.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a spring, the upper and lower ends of which abut against the connector and the handle, respectively. The compressed spring secures the connector to the top cover and the handle to the lampshade.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the connector is provided with a hook. The hook makes it easy to hang the camping light on a tree outdoors for illumination from a height.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom perimeter of the lampshade is provided with two opposing mounting holes, and the two ends of the handle extend toward the lampshade to engage with the corresponding mounting holes. The mounting holes prevent the handle from detaching from the lampshade.

[0013] Furthermore, the light-emitting component includes a tungsten filament lamp and an LED lamp. Of course, other lighting components can also be used as the light-emitting component.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This application provides a camping lamp with an alternative structure. The switch structure of this camping lamp is located at the bottom of the lampshade. By rotating the lower cover, the rotary switch can be switched between multiple positions to turn the light-emitting component on or off. The structure of this camping lamp is simple, allowing the lampshade and light-emitting component to occupy more space. Therefore, the lighting effect of the camping lamp is better.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1-7 The figure shown is the preferred embodiment of this utility model.

[0024] The camping lamp of this embodiment includes a lampshade 1, a light-emitting component 2, a switch part 3, a top cover 4, a connector 5, a handle 6, a spring 7, and a hook 8. The light-emitting component 2 is installed inside the lampshade 1 and includes a tungsten filament lamp 21 and an LED lamp 22. The switch part 3 is installed at the bottom of the lampshade 1 and is electrically connected to the light-emitting component 2. The switch part 3 includes a lower cover 31 that can rotate relative to the lampshade 1, a rotary switch 32 and a circuit board 33 disposed in the lower cover 31. The rotary switch 32 is connected to the lower cover 31, that is, a mounting groove 31 is provided in the center of the interior of the lower cover 31. 2. The rotary switch 32 has a downwardly extending protrusion 321 corresponding to the mounting groove 312. The protrusion 321 is installed in the mounting groove 312. The lower cover 31 can drive the rotary switch 32 to rotate. The circuit board 33 has multiple positions 331 and a charging port 332. The lower cover 31 has a connection port 311 corresponding to the charging port 332. Rotating the lower cover 31 can drive the rotary switch 32 to switch between multiple positions 331, so that the light-emitting component 2 is in an on or off state. That is, rotating the lower cover 31 makes the switch part 3 have at least two states: the first state, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the charging port 332 overlaps with the connection port 311, and the light-emitting component 2 is in the off state, meaning the charging port 332 is exposed for easy charging by the user; the second state, as... Figure 7 As shown, the lower cover 31 drives the rotary switch 32 to switch to the next position 331, the charging port 332 is offset from the connection port 311, and the light-emitting component 2 is in the open state, thereby preventing dust or water from entering the charging port 322, thus protecting the charging port 332 of the camping light.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board 33 in this embodiment is a ring-shaped board with multiple positions 331 spaced apart along the circumference of the circuit board 33. The positions 331 are divided into a closed position 331a and multiple multi-level positions 331b. The closed position 331a is located in the middle, and the multiple multi-level positions 331b are symmetrically arranged along the closed position 331a, so that the light-emitting component 2 can be opened by rotating the lower cover 31 in both directions. Furthermore, the multiple multi-level positions 331b on the circuit board 33 enable the camping light to adjust multiple levels of lighting effects.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the lampshade 1 is equipped with a top cover 4, and the top of the top cover 4 is equipped with a connector 5. The upper end of the connector 5 is provided with a hook 8, and the connector 5 is provided with an adjustment hole 51 that runs through from left to right. The outside of the lampshade 1 is provided with an inverted U-shaped handle 6. The two ends of the handle 6 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the lampshade 1, that is, there are two opposite mounting holes 11 on the peripheral wall of the bottom of the lampshade 1. The two ends of the handle 6 extend toward the lampshade 1 to fit into the corresponding mounting holes 11, and the horizontal section of the handle 6 passes through the adjustment hole 51. The adjustment hole 51 provides space for the handle 6 to move up and down during installation. That is, the diameter of the adjustment hole 51 is relatively large, and the horizontal section of the handle 6 still has space in the adjustment hole 51. Therefore, during the process of the two ends of the handle 6 being inserted into the lampshade 1, the adjustment hole 51 can provide a certain swing space for the handle 6 to move up and down, thereby facilitating the installation of the handle 6. Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the spring 7 abut against the connector 5 and the handle 6 respectively. The spring 7, in a compressed state, can fix the connector 5 to the upper cover 4 and the handle 6 to the lampshade 1.

[0027] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0028] A. When the camping light is off, the connection port 311 of the lower cover 31 coincides with the charging port 332 on the circuit board 33, and the rotary switch 32 is in the middle off position 331a inside the lower cover 31, so the light-emitting component 2 does not provide illumination.

[0029] B. When the camping light needs to be lit, the user can rotate the lower cover 31 in both directions. The lower cover 31 drives the rotary switch 32 to switch to the next gear 331, that is, the multi-level gear 331b, so that the light-emitting component 2 turns on and emits a corresponding degree of light, thereby illuminating the camping light. The rotation of the lower cover 31 will cause the charging port 332 to be misaligned with the connection port 311, thereby protecting the charging port 332.
