Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surfboard technology, and specifically to a lighting device for surfboards. Background Technology

[0002] Surfing is a popular outdoor sport, and a surfboard is essential equipment for surfing. Most existing surfboards are designed for daytime use without lighting. Some surfboard manufacturers produce single-light systems, but these only provide forward illumination at night, failing to meet the needs of night surfers for observation of their surroundings and providing no visual benefit. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, one object of this utility model is to provide a lighting device for surfboards, comprising:

[0004] Multiple silicone sleeves are provided on the outer contour of the surfboard and are evenly spaced around the surfboard.

[0005] An elastic cord is fitted inside multiple silicone sleeves to secure the multiple silicone sleeves to the outer contour of the surfboard by means of elasticity, and the ends of the elastic cord are overlapped to fit in an "X" shape around the end of the surfboard.

[0006] A storage battery, which is placed on the surfboard and secured to the surfboard by the elastic cord;

[0007] A light strip is provided around the outer side of the plurality of silicone sleeves and is connected to the battery.

[0008] Preferably, the silicone sleeve is U-shaped, and the inner side of the silicone sleeve is in contact with the surfboard.

[0009] Preferably, the top and bottom of the silicone sleeve are respectively formed with a first perforation groove and a second perforation groove, and the elastic rope passes through the first perforation groove and the second perforation groove respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the silicone sleeve has mounting holes formed on its side, and the light strip is disposed in the mounting holes.

[0011] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the elastic rope are arranged in an "X" shape and overlap.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the battery is provided with a plurality of equally spaced protrusions, and the plurality of protrusions generate friction with the surfboard.

[0013] Preferably, the battery is provided with a waterproof female connector, and the end of the light strip is provided with a waterproof male connector.

[0014] Preferably, the waterproof male connector and the waterproof female connector are plugged into each other.

[0015] Preferably, the light strip is a neon light strip.

[0016] The above-described solution of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] Multiple silicone sleeves are secured to the outer contour of the surfboard by elastic cords. LED strips are placed around the outer sides of the silicone sleeves. The battery that provides power is secured to the surfboard by elastic cords. This allows the surfboard to emit a more conspicuous light when used at night, with a wider illumination range and a warning function. The LED strips can also emit different colors of light to achieve different visual effects.

[0018] The synergistic design of the elastic cord and silicone sleeve enables quick, tool-free installation of the device onto the surfboard. The elasticity of the elastic cord can be adapted to surfboards of different sizes and shapes, significantly improving the product's versatility.

[0019] The "X" shaped overlapping structure at the end of the elastic cord enhances the impact resistance and fixation of the surfboard end, effectively preventing the device from falling off during high-speed surfing or severe bumpy conditions. The silicone material also provides cushioning protection, reducing friction damage to the board.

[0020] The wraparound light strip layout provides 360° illumination without blind spots, significantly improving user visibility at night or in low-light environments, while simultaneously enhancing surfers' ability to identify their location and reducing the risk of collisions on the water.

[0021] The innovative method of securing the battery with elastic cords avoids the damage to the battery plate caused by traditional adhesive / drilling installation.

[0040] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention: a lighting device for a surfboard.

[0041] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the system includes: multiple silicone sleeves 2, which are disposed on the outer contour of the surfboard 1 and are evenly spaced around the surfboard 1; an elastic rope 3, which is sleeved inside the multiple silicone sleeves 2 to fix the multiple silicone sleeves 2 to the outer contour of the surfboard 1 by elasticity, and the ends of the elastic rope 3 are overlapped to form an "X" shape around the end of the surfboard 1; a battery 4, which is placed on the surfboard and fixed to the surfboard 1 by the elastic rope 3; and a light strip 5, which is disposed around the outer side of the multiple silicone sleeves 2 and is connected to the battery 4.

[0042] Multiple silicone sleeves 2 are fixed to the outer contour of the surfboard 1 by elastic ropes 3 using their own elasticity. The light strip 5 is arranged around the outer side of the multiple silicone sleeves 2. The battery 4 that provides power is fixed to the surfboard 1 by the elastic ropes 3, so that when the user uses it at night, the outer side of the surfboard 1 can emit a more eye-catching light, with a larger illumination range and a warning function. Moreover, the light strip 5 can emit different colors of light to achieve different visual effects.

[0043] The synergistic design of the elastic cord 3 and silicone sleeve 2 enables quick, tool-free installation of the device onto the surfboard 1. The elasticity of the elastic cord 3 allows it to adapt to surfboards of different sizes and shapes, significantly improving the product's versatility. The "X"-shaped overlapping structure at the end of the elastic cord 3 enhances the impact resistance and fixation of the surfboard end, effectively preventing the device from falling off during high-speed surfing or severe turbulence. The silicone material also provides cushioning protection, reducing friction damage to the board. The wraparound light strip 5 provides 360° illumination without blind spots, significantly improving user visibility at night or in low-light environments, while simultaneously enhancing the surfer's orientation and reducing the risk of collisions on the water. The innovative method of fixing the battery 4 with the elastic cord 3 avoids the damage to the board caused by traditional adhesive / drilling installations.

[0044] In this embodiment, the silicone sleeve 2 is U-shaped, and its inner side is in contact with the surfboard 1. The U-shaped structure of the silicone sleeve 2 extends from the outer edge of the surfboard 1 to the upper and lower sides, forming a three-sided wrapping shape, which greatly increases the contact area between the silicone sleeve 2 and the surface of the surfboard. Due to the flexibility of the silicone material, the inner side of the U-shaped silicone sleeve 2 is tightly fitted to the surfboard 1. Its open end structure can be adapted to surfboard edges of different thicknesses or curvatures, and universal installation can be achieved without customized modification. It is especially suitable for professional surfboards with complex curved shapes, expanding the applicability of the device. While wrapping the edge of the surfboard, the U-shaped silicone sleeve 2 absorbs the kinetic energy of wave impact or collision through its elastic material, reducing the risk of direct contact between the surfboard 1 and external hard objects (such as rocks or other surfboards). This protects the surface coating of the surfboard and reduces the risk of the lighting components becoming loose due to impact. The "U"-shaped structure provides clear directional guidance. Users only need to align the opening of the silicone sleeve 2 with the edge of the surfboard and press it to complete the initial positioning. Combined with the elastic tightening of the elastic rope 3, it achieves a quick "release and pull" installation without complicated tools or calibration operations, greatly improving the efficiency of device deployment. The inner side of the "U"-shaped silicone sleeve 2, combined with the "X"-shaped end fixing of the elastic rope 3, forms a dual constraint mechanism of "surface contact + elastic locking". When the surfboard turns at high speed or is impacted by waves, it suppresses the relative slippage between the silicone sleeve 2 and the surfboard, ensuring that the position of the light strip 5 is always on the preset trajectory, avoiding illumination deviation or disconnection. The outer side of the "U"-shaped silicone sleeve 2 provides a stable arc-shaped mounting base for the light strip 5, ensuring that the light emission angle of the light strip 5 is consistent with the tangential direction of the surfboard edge, eliminating the blind spots caused by traditional straight-line installation, achieving 360° no-dark-area lighting, and enhancing visual visibility and safety when surfing at night.

[0045] In this embodiment, the top and bottom of the silicone sleeve 2 are respectively formed with a first perforation groove 201 and a second perforation groove 202, and the elastic rope 3 passes through the first perforation groove 201 and the second perforation groove 202 respectively; the elastic rope 3 uses its own elasticity to adhere the top and bottom of the silicone sleeve 2 to the top and bottom of the surfboard 1, realizing the double-layer guiding and limiting of the elastic rope 3, ensuring the precise positioning of the elastic rope 3 on the contour surface of the surfboard, avoiding the lateral sliding or partial loosening of the elastic rope 3 due to dynamic impact, and significantly improving the adhesion stability between the silicone sleeve 2 and the surface of the surfboard; the double perforation groove structure evenly distributes the tension of the elastic rope 3 to the upper and lower ends of the silicone sleeve 2, avoiding single-point stress concentration. This prevents the silicone sleeve 2 from deforming or tearing, while simultaneously enhancing the synergistic tensile deformation resistance of the silicone sleeve 2 and the elastic cord 3, extending the service life of key components. The pre-defined path of the perforated groove provides a clear threading direction for the elastic cord 3, simplifying the installation process and reducing the risk of the elastic cord 3 becoming tangled or misaligned. It is especially suitable for the complex structure of the curved edge of the surfboard, significantly improving the user's self-assembly efficiency and fault tolerance. When the surfboard is moving at high speed or is impacted by waves, the double perforated groove and the elastic cord 3 form a dual constraint mechanism, effectively suppressing the resonance displacement of the silicone sleeve 2 and the elastic cord 3, reducing the problem of light strip flickering or poor contact caused by vibration of the lighting device, and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the lighting system.

[0046] In this embodiment, the silicone sleeve 2 has mounting holes 203 formed on its side, and the light strip 5 is disposed within the mounting holes 203. By providing dedicated mounting holes 203 on the side of the silicone sleeve 2, the light strip 5 is completely embedded into the holes, achieving physical nesting and fixation between the light strip 5 and the silicone sleeve 2. This completely eliminates the risk of the light strip 5 shifting, warping, or falling off due to wave impact or external pulling, ensuring the long-term practical stability of the light strip 5. The mounting holes 203 form a circumferential wrap around the light strip 5, utilizing the elastic properties of the silicone material to absorb external impact energy, preventing the light strip 5 from being directly exposed to seawater scouring or collision friction, significantly improving the light strip 5's resistance to impact. The light strip is resistant to mechanical damage and corrosion, extending its service life. The mounting hole 203 provides a standardized insertion space for the light strip 5, allowing users to directly push the light strip 5 into the hole along the length of the silicone sleeve 2 to complete the assembly without additional fixing tools or adhesives. When the light strip 5 is damaged, it can be simply pulled out of the hole for replacement, enabling independent modular repair and reducing maintenance costs. The tight fit between the mounting hole 203 and the light strip 5, combined with the elastic contraction characteristics of the silicone sleeve 2, forms a multi-layer sealing interface between the outer wall of the light strip 5 and the inner wall of the hole, effectively preventing seawater penetration, avoiding the risk of short circuits, and meeting the high humidity and high salt spray environment requirements of surfing.

[0047] In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the elastic rope 3 are both arranged in an "X" shape and overlapped. The upper and lower ends of the elastic rope 3 adopt an "X" shape overlapping design, forming a symmetrical elastic locking structure at both ends of the surfboard. Through the double overlapping elastic superposition effect, the gripping force of the device at the end of the surfboard is significantly improved, preventing the device from slipping off due to insufficient stress at a single point during high-speed movement or sharp turns, and ensuring the overall fixation reliability. The double "X" shape overlapping structure evenly distributes the tension of the elastic rope 3 to the upper and lower edges of the surfboard end, avoiding the problem of local deformation or stress concentration caused by unilateral force. It is especially suitable for the multi-directional dynamic load generated by the surfboard under the impact of waves, enhancing the adaptability of the device to complex mechanical environments. The double overlapping structure forms a multi-point elastic anchoring mechanism. When the surfboard vibrates at high frequency or is impacted by waves, it absorbs vibration energy through multi-directional elastic deformation, suppresses the attenuation of the fixing force of the elastic rope 3 due to fatigue relaxation, and maintains a tight state during long-term use.

[0048] In this embodiment, the bottom of the battery 4 is provided with a plurality of equally spaced protrusions 401, which generate friction with the surfboard 1. The equally spaced protrusions 401 on the bottom of the battery 4 form a micro-friction interface with the surface of the surfboard 1. The point contact of the protrusions 401 increases the local pressure, significantly improving the static friction between the battery 4 and the surfboard. Even when fixed by the elastic rope 3, it can effectively suppress the lateral slippage of the battery 4 under high-speed surfing, sudden stop, or bumpy conditions, achieving double anti-detachment locking. The gaps between the protrusions 401 form capillary drainage channels, which accelerate the removal of seawater trapped between the battery 4 and the board when the surfboard is immersed in water, reducing the surface tension of the water. The adsorption effect ensures that the battery 4 can be quickly disassembled or repositioned, while avoiding corrosion caused by long-term water accumulation; the convex point 401 design can adapt to the slight unevenness or curvature of the surfboard surface, and achieves the fit of irregular surfaces through the elastic compression of some of the convex points 401, which is compatible with various surfboard types such as polished boards and anti-slip textured boards, enhancing the device's universal adaptability to surfboards with different processes; the array of convex points 401 forms an elastic contact layer between the battery 4 and the surfboard, and uses the damping characteristics of silicone material to absorb high-frequency vibration energy, reducing the abnormal noise generated by the collision between the battery 4 and the board, while reducing the impact of vibration on the internal circuit of the battery 4 and the connection stability of the light strip 5.

[0049] In this embodiment, the battery 4 is provided with a waterproof female connector 402, and the end of the light strip 5 is provided with a waterproof male connector 501; the waterproof male connector 501 and the waterproof female connector 402 are plugged into each other; by adopting the IP68-level waterproof male connector 501 and waterproof female connector 402 design, the interface between the battery 4 and the light strip 5 is completely sealed and protected. Even when the surfboard is completely immersed in seawater or is hit by huge waves, it can still effectively block the penetration of water and salt spray, ensure the absolute safety of electrical connection, avoid short circuit, leakage or contact oxidation problems, and meet the high reliability requirements of extreme marine environments.

[0050] In this embodiment, the light strip is a neon light strip. The neon light strip has ultra-high luminous intensity and penetrability, and can still maintain a bright color performance in night, foggy or underwater environments, making the outline of the surfboard clearly visible, greatly improving the user's visibility on the water surface, reducing the risk of collision with other water sports participants or boats, and is especially suitable for safety warning needs in low visibility sea conditions. The gradient light effect and multi-color switching function of the neon light strip can dynamically change with the surfing movement status (such as speed, turning), enhancing visual appeal, while supporting user-defined color modes (such as constant light, breathing, strobe), meeting the functional requirements of personalized expression and specific scenarios (such as event logos, team identification).
