Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mobile lighting equipment, and in particular relates to a detachable flashlight handle structure and flashlight assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the current flashlight market, flashlights with handles mainly follow two mainstream technical solutions. However, both of these solutions have obvious limitations and are difficult to meet the diverse needs of users in actual use.

[0003] The first type is the fixed, non-switchable handle design. In this design, the handle merely serves as a load-bearing mechanical structure, its primary function being to facilitate carrying and holding the flashlight. The flashlight's switch is located separately on the surface of the flashlight body. This design means that when holding the flashlight, users must additionally move their fingers to press the switch on the body surface to turn it on or off. In practical use cases, such as walking or climbing, where both hands need to maintain a certain level of stability, it is difficult for users to operate the switch conveniently, significantly reducing ease of use.

[0004] The second type is the integrated circuit handle solution. This solution integrates the switch inside the handle and connects it to the flashlight's main circuitry via a wiring harness. While this design achieves a degree of integration between the handle and the switch, it also introduces several problems. Firstly, the interface connection structure becomes extremely complex, increasing both production and assembly difficulty, and reducing product reliability, making it prone to malfunctions such as loose connections and poor contact. Secondly, the non-removable structure of the handle and flashlight main unit significantly limits the flashlight's usability. For example, when users need to use the flashlight in different environments, or require separate maintenance or replacement of the handle or flashlight main unit, this non-removable design causes considerable inconvenience.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flashlight handle structure and flashlight assembly that is both convenient for users to operate the switch and has detachable features. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a detachable flashlight handle structure and flashlight assembly, which not only facilitates user operation of the switch but also has a detachable feature, thus meeting users' needs for ease of use and flexibility.

In this embodiment, two waterproof rings 450 are provided, both fitted onto the body of the transmission rod 420, to prevent moisture from entering the connecting hole 230 and affecting the normal movement of the transmission rod 420 and the service life of the handle button 4. The buffer pad 460 at the lower end of the transmission rod 420 makes the contact between the transmission rod 420 and the flashlight button 510 more gentle, avoiding damage to the flashlight button 510, and also improving the user's operating comfort.

[0047] See appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 In the above embodiment, the fixed base 1 has clamping grooves 110 at both ends, and the quick-release mechanism 3 includes a clamping base 310. A fixed clamping arm 320 is provided on one side of the clamping base 310, and a movable clamping arm 330 is provided on the other side. A screw 340 is provided on the clamping base 310, connecting one end of the fixed clamping arm 320 to the movable clamping arm 330. The screw 340 is used to drive the movable clamping arm 330 closer to the fixed clamping arm 320 to clamp it within the clamping groove 110. In this embodiment, when the screw 340 is rotated to move the movable clamping arm 330 away from the fixed clamping arm 320, quick disassembly between the handle 2 and the flashlight 5 can be achieved. When the screw 340 is rotated in the opposite direction to move the movable clamping arm 330 closer to the fixed clamping arm 320, quick installation and fixation between the handle 2 and the flashlight 5 can be achieved. This facilitates the user to replace the handle 2 or perform separate maintenance on the flashlight 5 according to actual needs, improving the product's flexibility and maintainability. In this embodiment, the clamping base 310 and the connecting post 220 are fixed together by screws.

[0048] See appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 In the above embodiment, the movable clamping arm 330 is provided with a guide block 331, and the side of the clamping seat 310 is provided with a guide groove 311 for accommodating the guide block 331. In the embodiment, when the rotating screw 340 unlocks the movable clamping arm 330, causing the movable clamping arm 330 to move relative to the clamping seat 310, the guide block 331 on the movable clamping arm 330 restricts the movement path of the movable clamping arm 330 relative to the clamping seat 310 by moving within the guide groove 311 of the clamping seat 310, thereby achieving a guiding effect on the movable clamping arm 330 and enabling the movable clamping arm 330 to move smoothly under the drive of the screw 340.

[0049] See appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 In the above embodiment, the upper end of the fixed base 1 is provided with an anti-slip groove 120, and the lower end of the clamping base 310 is provided with an anti-slip block 312 that cooperates with the anti-slip groove 120. In this embodiment, the anti-slip groove 120 on the fixed base 1 and the anti-slip block 312 at the lower end of the clamping base 310 cooperate to prevent the clamping base 310 from sliding on the fixed base 1, ensuring the clamping accuracy between the clamping base 310 and the fixed base 1, improving the stability of the connection between the handle 2 and the flashlight 5, and ensuring that the handle 2 will not accidentally loosen during use.

[0050] See appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7In the above embodiment, a second spring 350 is sleeved on the screw 340. The second spring 350 is used to make the movable clamping arm 330 tend to move closer to the fixed clamping arm 320. In this embodiment, the second spring 350 makes the movable clamping arm 330 tend to move closer to the fixed clamping arm 320. When it is necessary to remove the handle 2, rotating the screw 340 will not immediately move the movable clamping arm 330 away from the fixed clamping arm 320, but will keep it in a pre-clamped state. The user only needs to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 350 to move the movable clamping arm 330 away from the fixed clamping arm 320, which facilitates the removal of the handle 2 and avoids accidental detachment during the removal process. When installing the handle 2, the elastic force of the second spring 350 can help the movable clamping arm 330 better clamp the clamping groove 110 on the fixed seat 1. The user only needs to tighten the screw 340 after the movable clamping arm 330 completes the clamping action, making the operation more convenient.

[0051] See appendix Figure 1 This embodiment also improves a flashlight assembly, including a flashlight 5 and the aforementioned detachable flashlight handle structure, with a fixing base 1 fixedly disposed on the body 520 of the flashlight 5. In this embodiment, the fixing base 1 can be fixed to the body 520 by screws, or it can be a component of the body 520 or integrally formed with the body 520.
