[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a foldable reading lamp, including a lamp head 1, a flexible support tube 2 and a base 3 connected in sequence. A first receiving groove 31 matching the shape of the lamp head 1 is formed in the side end of the base 3, and a second receiving groove 32 matching the flexible support tube 2 is formed around the edge of the base 3 on the side. The length and shape of the second receiving groove 32 match the flexible support tube 2. One side of the first receiving groove 31 is connected to one end of the second receiving groove 32. One end of the flexible support tube 2 is connected to the lamp head 1, and the other end is connected to the other end of the second receiving groove 32.

[0041] Understandably, the foldable reading lamp provided in the first embodiment uses a first receiving groove 31 and a second receiving groove 32 to respectively house the lamp head 1 and the flexible support tube 2, reducing the storage volume while providing better protection for the lamp head 1. Specifically, the flexible support tube 2 is connected to the lamp head 1 and the base 3 at both ends, and the flexible support tube 2 is made of a flexible material, so that the flexible support tube 2 and the lamp head 1 can be adjusted to the required position by bending the flexible support tube 2, while the flexible support tube 2 provides support for the lamp head 1. The first receiving groove 31 is set for the lamp head 1 and the second receiving groove 32 is set for the flexible support tube 2, and is located on the side of the base 3, so that the light source surface 11 is set on the side with more space on the lamp head 1, improving the lighting effect of the lamp head 1. At the same time, after the lamp head 1 and the flexible support tube 2 are stored, they provide more stable protection for the lamp head 1, reducing the possibility of damage to the lamp head 1 when exposed to the external environment or when the foldable reading lamp shakes, and extending the service life of the lamp head 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first receiving groove 31 is wider than the second receiving groove 32 to accommodate the shape of the lamp holder 1 and the flexible support tube 2.

[0043] Furthermore, the flexible support tube 2 is made of a supportive flexible material, which allows the user to flexibly adjust the position and supports the lamp head 1 during the adjustment process, preventing the lamp head 1 from shaking too much and affecting the lighting stability.

[0044] Preferably, the flexible support tube 2 can be set as a gooseneck tube, which has the characteristics of being able to be bent arbitrarily and having a defined direction. It can provide support for the lamp head 1 while the user flexibly adjusts the direction and position of the flexible support tube 2, thus maintaining the stability of the lamp head 1 position.

[0045] Understandably, the lamp head 1 and the first receiving slot 31 are respectively set as cuboids to facilitate the storage of the regularly shaped lamp head 1 and to maximize the area of ​​the light source surface 11.

[0046] Understandably, the shape and length of the second receiving groove 32 are matched with the shape and length of the flexible support tube 2, so that when the flexible support tube 2 can be stored in the second receiving groove 32, there will be no problem that the flexible support tube 2 is too long or too short, and the problem that the mismatch in length between the two affects the storage of the lamp head 1 is avoided.

[0047] It should be noted that the base 3 is block-shaped as a whole, and the side away from the first receiving groove 31 is set to be arc-shaped to reduce the bending of the flexible support tube 2 when the second receiving groove 32 accommodates the flexible support tube 2.

[0048] Furthermore, when the lamp holder 1 is housed in the first receiving groove 31 and the flexible support tube 2 is housed in the second receiving groove 32, at least 80% of the lamp holder 1 and the flexible support tube 2 are housed to limit the range of motion of the lamp holder 1 and the flexible support tube 2, and to ensure that most of the lamp holder 1 is covered, so as to avoid external factors such as shaking affecting the safety of the lamp holder 1 and the flexible support tube 2.

[0049] Furthermore, neither the lamp head 1 nor the flexible support tube 2 extends beyond the range of the first receiving groove 31 and the second receiving groove 32, thereby keeping the surfaces of the lamp head 1 and the flexible support tube 2 flush with or inside the surface of the base 3, reducing the volume after storage and making it easier for users to carry.

[0050] Preferably, the lamp head 1 is completely housed in the first receiving groove 31, and the flexible support tube 2 is completely housed in the second receiving groove 32, so that the lamp head 1 and the flexible support tube 2 are wrapped and protected, improving the safety of the overall structure after it is housed.

[0051] Furthermore, by increasing the depth of the first receiving groove 31 and the second receiving groove 32, there is sufficient space in the first receiving groove 31 and the second receiving groove 32 to accommodate the lamp head 1 and the flexible support tube 2.

[0052] Understandably, after the lamp head 1 and the flexible support tube 2 are stored, the foldable reading lamp only has the volume occupied by the base 3, making it convenient for users to store and carry.

[0053] Furthermore, a fixing position 321 is provided at the end of the second receiving groove 32 that is not connected to the first receiving groove 31. The end of the flexible support tube 2 away from the lamp head 1 is fixed in the fixing position 321. When adjusting the position of the lamp head 1 and the flexible support tube 2, the end is fixed on the fixing position 321 to provide support for the flexible support tube 2, making the position of the flexible support tube 2 more stable.

[0054] Preferably, the two ends of the fixing position 321 are the first receiving groove 31 and the second receiving groove 32, respectively, and are not connected to the first receiving groove 31. This allows the flexible support tube 2 to wrap around the side of the base 3 at its maximum length when stored. The longer length of the flexible support tube 2 also provides users with greater freedom to adjust the position of the lamp head 1, thus improving the user experience.

[0055] Understandably, the structure in which the first receiving groove 31, the second receiving groove 32 and the fixing position 321 are arranged adjacently can surround the side of the base 3.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 3 includes an upper housing 33 and a lower housing 34 connected together. The first receiving groove 31 and the second receiving groove 32 are located at the edge between the upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34. The first receiving groove 31 and the second receiving groove 32 are arranged between the upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34, so that the upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34 restrict the range of the lamp head 1 on the two opposite sides of the lamp head 1, increase the range of the covered light source surface 11, and provide more stable protection for the lamp head 1.

[0057] Furthermore, a limiting plate 323 is provided on the side of the second receiving groove 32 opposite to the opening. The receiving space formed by the limiting plate 323 and the two sides opposite to the upper shell 33 and the lower shell 34 provides storage space for the flexible support tube 2.

[0058] The limit plate 323 can be connected and is provided on the upper housing 33 and / or the lower housing 34. After the upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34 are installed, the limit plate 323 abuts against the opposite upper housing 33 or lower housing 34 to close the internal space of the upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34.

[0059] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 323 is located on the upper housing 33 and is positioned at the end to avoid the fixing position 321.

[0060] Furthermore, at least one of the two surfaces adjacent to the limiting plate 323 is provided with evenly distributed protrusions 322, and there are gaps between the protrusions 322. Taking advantage of the characteristic that the protrusions 322 and the gaps are spaced apart, when the flexible support tube 2 is placed in the second receiving groove 32, the protrusions 322 apply pressure to the surface of the flexible support tube 2 to enhance the friction and make the stability of the flexible support tube 2 stronger when it is placed.

[0061] Understandably, the protrusion 322 is located at the edge of the inner wall of the upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34.

[0062] In this embodiment, both the upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34 are provided with protrusions 322, and the positions of the protrusions 322 are corresponding on the two opposite sides of the second receiving groove 32, so that the flexible support tube 2 can be squeezed by the protrusions 322 on both sides at the same time, avoiding the problem of dislocation.

[0063] Furthermore, the protrusion 322 is flush with the edge of the opening of the second receiving groove 32, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the flexible support tube 2 without resistance.

[0064] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A clip 36 is provided on the side of the lower housing 34 opposite to the upper housing 33 for clipping the foldable reading light onto the pages of a book for easy reading.

[0065] Optionally, the open end of the clip 36 can face the end closer to the first receiving groove 31 or the end farther away from the first receiving groove 31.

[0066] Furthermore, when the lamp head 1 is stored in the first receiving slot 31, the light source surface 11 faces the direction of the lower housing 34, so that when the lamp head 1 is used in the non-folded state, the clip 36 clamps the base 3 onto the page, with the light source surface 11 facing the direction of the lower housing 34. That is, when the user uses it, the light source surface 11 can face the direction of the page, which is convenient for the user to use.

[0067] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A limiting groove 12 is provided on the side of the lamp head 1 away from the light source surface 11, and a limiting block 35 is provided on the surface of the upper housing 33. When the lamp head 1 is stored in the first receiving groove 31, the limiting block 35 and the limiting groove 12 on the inner wall of the first receiving groove 31 are connected to each other, making the storage of the lamp head 1 more stable and preventing the lamp head 1 from dislodging when the foldable reading lamp is shaken.

[0068] Optionally, the positions of the limiting slot 12 and the limiting block 35 can be interchanged.

[0069] Understandably, the limiting block 35 is set on the inner wall of the first receiving groove 31 to avoid the problem of wear caused by the limiting block 35 being exposed on the surface of the foldable reading lamp.

[0070] Specifically, the base 3 includes a circuit board 37, which is disposed inside the upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34, and is electrically connected to the flexible support tube 2 and the lamp holder 1 in sequence through the fixing position 321. The upper housing 33 and the lower housing 34 protect the internal circuit board 37, realize the electrical connection between the flexible support tube 2 and the circuit board 37 at the fixing position 321, so that the circuit board 37 can better control the operation of the lamp holder 1.

[0071] Furthermore, a button 331 is provided on the upper housing 33. The button 331 is electrically connected to the lamp head 1 through the circuit board 37. When the user needs to turn the reading light on or off or adjust the working status, he / she presses the button 331, thereby adjusting the status of the lamp head 1 through the circuit board 37.

[0072] Furthermore, a battery 38 is also installed inside the base 3. The battery 38 is located inside the upper shell 33 and the lower shell 34. A charging port 341 is provided on the lower shell 34. The battery 38 and the charging port 341 are electrically connected to the circuit board 37. When the folding reading lamp is not connected to an external power source, the battery 38 supplies power to the lamp head 1 through the circuit board 37. When the folding reading lamp is connected to an external power source through the charging port 341, the power source can charge the battery 38 or directly supply power to the lamp head 1.

[0073] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The working principle of the foldable reading lamp provided in the first embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0074] When using the foldable reading lamp, the clip 36 is clipped onto the book page, with the light source surface 11 facing the page, providing illumination for reading. Simultaneously, the user can flexibly adjust the position and direction of the lamp head 1 using the flexible support tube 2, ensuring stable lighting. In the folded state, the lamp head 1 is stored in the first receiving groove 31, and the movement of the lamp head 1 is further restricted by the cooperation structure of the limiting block 35 and the limiting groove 12. The flexible support tube 2 is stored in the second receiving groove 32. The protrusions 322 on the inner wall of the second receiving groove 32 apply pressure to ensure the flexible support tube 2 is stably stored inside the second receiving groove 32, thus ensuring the overall structure is stable and safe after storage, reducing wear on the lamp head 1, and minimizing its size for easy carrying.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
