Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe cleaner technology, and in particular to a light-emitting pipe cleaner. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional pipe cleaners, as a popular children's toy and sports aid, have long been loved by people of all ages. However, their limited functionality and visual appeal have become increasingly apparent, especially at night or in low-light environments, where their visual appeal is greatly reduced. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of existing technologies not emitting light, and to propose a light-emitting pipe cleaner.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A light-emitting pipe cleaner includes a shaping rod and flexible fibers disposed on the surface of the shaping rod, characterized in that the surface of the flexible fibers is provided with a light-emitting coating.

[0006] The luminescent coating is made of rare earth elements.

[0007] In some embodiments, the shaping rod is made of metal and is composed of two metal wires wound together.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the twist rod is cylindrical, and the diameter of the twist rod is 4mm-8mm.

[0009] In some embodiments, the flexible fiber material is polyester fiber.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a light-emitting pipe cleaner with the following beneficial effects.

[0011] 1. This utility model, by setting a rare earth coating on the surface of flexible fibers, can produce a fluorescent phenomenon, so that the pipe cleaner absorbs light energy in the presence of light source and releases light energy in the dim light, thereby improving the visual appeal of the pipe cleaner.

[0012] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows; and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following description; or may be taught from practice of this invention.

[0018] 1. Shaping rod; 2. Flexible fiber. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 A light-emitting pipe cleaner includes a shaping rod 1 and flexible fibers 2 disposed on the surface of the shaping rod 1. The shaping rod 1 is made of metal and is composed of two metal wires wound together. The two metal wires are clamped and disposed on the surface of the shaping rod 1. The flexible fiber 2 is made of polyester fiber. The cross-section of the pipe cleaner is cylindrical and the diameter of the pipe cleaner is 4mm-8mm.

[0021] Understandably, by setting the shaping rod 1, the pipe cleaner can be molded into various shapes.

[0022] Specifically, the surface of the flexible fiber 2 is provided with a light-emitting coating, which is rare earth.

[0023] It is understandable that rare earth elements emit light primarily because of their unique electronic energy level structure. They can absorb specific energy and then transition to higher energy levels, subsequently releasing photons when they return to lower energy levels. This process is called "fluorescence" or "phosphorescence." Specifically, the 4f electron shell of rare earth elements has a complex energy level structure with small intervals between these levels, corresponding to the wavelengths of the spectral lines. When rare earth ions absorb external energy (such as light or electrical energy), electrons transition from the ground state to an excited state. During the return to the ground state, electrons release energy, usually in the form of light, i.e., luminescence. This allows pipe cleaners to absorb light energy in areas with light sources and release it in areas with dim light, enhancing their visual appeal.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
