Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flashlight technology, and in particular to a flashlight with a retractable and rotatable lamp head. Background Technology

[0002] The industry already has technologies that allow for adjusting the beam direction by rotating the lamp head on a single axis, but this requires a curved surface to rotate, which increases manufacturing difficulty and creates visual discrepancies. Hiding the curved surface would increase the product's size. Other technologies use a centrally fixed lever connecting the lamp head, allowing for pull-out and rotation adjustments. However, this fixed lever divides the space between the main body and the lamp head into smaller sections, making it difficult to place other parts and requiring irregular shapes or increased product size. Therefore, developing a side-mounted, retractable, and rotatable flashlight is of significant importance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flashlight with a retractable and rotatable lamp head to overcome the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a flashlight with a retractable and rotatable lamp head, including a main body, a lamp head, and a base. The main body has a guide rail, a slider, and a pressure block on one or both sides. The lamp head and the main body are connected by a fixing plate and a slider. The slider is connected to the fixing plate by a screw and a nut. The pressure block restricts the slider to move up and down within the guide rail. An elastic limiting mechanism and a limiting groove are provided between the slider and the guide rail so that the lamp head can stop when it is stretched and retracted along the guide rail.

[0006] Furthermore, the lamp head is provided with a first functional surface and a second functional surface at its upper and lower ends.

[0007] Furthermore, a first damping washer is provided between the fixing plate and the slider, and a second damping washer is provided between the slider and the nut. When the lamp head is stretched, the first damping washer and the second damping washer can stop the lamp head when it is rotated to a suitable position.

[0008] Furthermore, the pressure block is fixed on the guide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, protective covers are provided on both sides of the main body, and the protective covers are fixed to the base with screws.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0011] 1. The lamp head is flat on both the front and back, facilitating the installation of lights or functional components requiring directional adjustment (such as cameras); 2. Both the front and rear functions can be adjusted in angle during rotation; 3. The lamp head is extendable via a slider connection, and has protective ears on the sides to effectively protect it from impacts; the telescopic and rotating structure is separated from the lamp function for easier installation and maintenance; 4. The lamp head retracts into the main body for concealment, maintaining the product's integrity; 5. The retracted lamp head reduces the size of the product, making it easier to carry; 6. The retracted lamp head enhances strength, preventing damage from external forces and effectively resisting drops; 7. The separation of the telescopic and rotating structure from the lamp function allows for more efficient space arrangement, enabling a more refined product design. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Please see the appendix Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a retractable and rotatable flashlight, including a main body 14, a lamp head 8, and a base. The main body 14 has a guide rail 11, a slider 4, and a pressure block 7 on one or both sides. The lamp head 8 and the main body 14 are connected by a fixing plate 3 and a slider 4. The slider 4 is connected to the fixing plate 3 by a screw 2 and a nut 1. The pressure block 7 restricts the slider 4 to move up and down within the guide rail 11. An elastic limiting mechanism 12 and a limiting groove 13 are provided between the slider 4 and the guide rail 11 so that the lamp head can stop when it is stretched and retracted along the guide rail.

[0021] In this embodiment, the lamp head 8 is provided with a first functional surface 9 and a second functional surface 10 at its upper and lower ends. The first functional surface 9 and the second functional surface 10 have other functions such as installing lamps or cameras.

[0022] In this embodiment, a first damping pad 5 is provided between the fixing plate 3 and the slider 4, and a second damping pad 6 is provided between the slider 4 and the nut 1. When the lamp head is stretched, the first damping pad 5 and the second damping pad 6 can make the lamp head 8 stop rotating to a suitable position.

[0023] In this embodiment, the pressure block 7 is fixed to the main body 14 by screws.

[0024] In this embodiment, protective covers 15 are provided on both sides of the outer side of the main body 14, and the protective covers 15 are fixed to the main body 14 by screws.

[0025] Working principle and usage: In this embodiment of the flashlight, the fixing plate 3 and the lamp head 8 are fixed together on the side. When the lamp head 8 is stretched, the fixing plate 3 is driven. The slider 4 is connected to the fixing plate 3 through the screw 2 and the nut 1. The pressure block 7 restricts the slider 4 to move up and down in the guide rail 11. The slider 4 and the guide rail 11 have an elastic limiting structure 12 and a limiting groove 13, so that the lamp head can stop when it is stretched and contracted along the guide rail. There is a first damping pad 5 between the fixing plate 3 and the slider 4, and a second damping pad 6 between the slider 4 and the nut 1. When the lamp head is stretched, the first damping pad 5 and the second damping pad 6 can make the lamp head 8 rotate to a suitable position and stop, realizing the change of the lamp head direction fixed on the first functional surface (lamp or other functions) and the second functional surface (lamp or other functions).

[0026] This utility model provides a flashlight with a retractable and rotatable lamp head. The front and rear of the lamp head are flat, facilitating the installation of the lamp or adjusting the direction of the light. Both the front and rear functions can be adjusted during rotation. The lamp head is extendable via a slider and has side guards to effectively protect it from impacts. The retractable and rotatable structure is separate from the lamp function, making installation and maintenance more convenient. The lamp head retracts into the main body, maintaining the product's integrity. Retracting the lamp head reduces its size, making it easy to carry. Retracting the lamp head also increases its strength, preventing damage from external forces and effectively resisting drops. The separation of the retractable and rotatable structure from the lamp function allows for more efficient space arrangement and a more refined product design. The rotating structure of this utility model does not affect the lamp's placement space while allowing adjustment of the beam direction at both ends. The side serves as both a guide rail and a guard. When rotation is not needed, the retractable structure maintains the lamp's integrity, making it easy to carry and effectively resistant to drops.

[0027] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
