[0028] 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.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-5 In one embodiment of this utility model, a light-emitting sphere is disclosed. Specifically, the sphere includes a frame 1 with multiple mounting holes 11. In this embodiment, the frame 1 is a circular structure. Furthermore, the frame 1 is composed of two semi-circular frames, which are fixedly connected by means of bonding to improve the convenience of production and assembly. In order to ensure the accuracy of docking, in this embodiment, the docking end of one of the semi-circular frames is formed with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 13, and the docking end of the other semi-circular frame is formed with a snap-fit ​​groove 14. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 13 includes a rectangular part and a columnar part, and the snap-fit ​​groove 14 includes a rectangular groove and a columnar groove. In this way, the docking accuracy of the two semi-circular frames is improved by the mutual insertion of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13 and the snap-fit ​​groove 14. Optionally, the mounting holes 11 in this embodiment are set as hexagonal holes.

[0030] A plurality of cover plates 2 are distributed on the outside of the frame 1. The cover plates 2 are transparent to allow light to pass through. Of course, in this embodiment, both the frame 1 and the cover plates 2 can be made of plastic. The cover plates 2 cover the mounting holes 11 and are connected to the mounting holes 11 through the connecting structure 3. A light-emitting component 4 is also installed on the inside of the frame 1.

[0031] Among them, two cover plates 2 that are radially symmetrical along the skeleton 1 are configured as fixed covers 21. The two fixed covers 21 are connected to the light-emitting component 4 and lock the light-emitting component 4 circumferentially. That is, in this embodiment, two fixed covers 21 are configured to connect and fix the internal light-emitting component 4 to ensure the assembly stability of the light-emitting component 4.

[0032] In some embodiments, the connecting structure 3 of this utility model includes a plurality of claws 31 formed on the inner side of the cover plate 2. The claws 31 pass through the mounting holes 11 into the inner side of the frame 1 and engage with the inner side of the frame 1. During installation, the claws 31 on the cover plate 2 are inserted into the mounting holes 11 until the inner bent end of the claws 31 engages with the inner side of the frame 1, thus completing the installation of the cover plate 2. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0033] Optionally, the connection structure 3 described in this utility model further includes:

[0034] A plurality of positioning posts 32 are formed on the inner side of the cover plate 2. The frame 1 has a plurality of positioning holes 12 formed around the inner side of the mounting hole 11. The positioning posts 32 and the positioning holes 12 are inserted into each other. The design of the positioning posts 32 and the positioning holes 12 is used to improve the accuracy of the assembly of the cover plate 2. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a plurality of stepped positions are formed on the inner side of the mounting hole 11, and the positioning holes 12 are formed on the stepped positions.

[0035] Of course, those skilled in the art will know that the design of the above-mentioned positioning post 32 and positioning hole 12 is to further improve the installation effect of the cover plate 2. Therefore, it can be selected according to the needs, such as setting a stepped position inside some of the mounting holes 11 or setting a stepped position in all of them.

[0036] In some embodiments, the light-emitting component 4 of the present invention includes a mounting tube 41 and a circuit board 42 fixed to the upper end of the mounting tube 41;

[0037] A battery 43 is fixed inside the mounting tube 41. The circuit board 42 is equipped with a charging port 44, a switch button 45, and an indicator light 46. A light strip is wound around the outside of the mounting tube 41. The light strip is electrically connected to the circuit board 42. The switch button 45 is used to control the switching of the light strip. The indicator light can be used to indicate the charging and power-on status. This method of electrically connecting and controlling the light strip is a conventional method for those skilled in the art. This solution only improves its installation structure, so its circuit principle will not be described in detail. In this preferred embodiment, the light strip is a flexible light strip, which is spirally wound around the outside of the mounting tube 41 and glued and fixed. In actual use, the light strip can be turned on by the switch button 45 to achieve the lighting effect.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, a through hole is provided on the end face of the upper fixed cover 21 to avoid the charging port 44, the switch button 45 and the indicator light 46;

[0039] A sleeve portion 22 is also formed on the inner side of the fixing cover 21, and the sleeve portions 22 of the two fixing covers 21 are sleeved on both ends of the mounting tube 41.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, a slot 23 is provided on the outer side of the sleeve portion 22, and an elastic portion is defined on the outer side of the mounting tube 41 by a U-shaped groove. A locking protrusion 47 is formed on the elastic portion, and the locking protrusion 47 and the slot 23 are engaged. That is, in this embodiment, when the two fixing covers 21 are installed, the sleeve portion 22 at the inner end of the fixing cover 21 is first sleeved on the end of the mounting tube 41. When the locking claw 31 on the fixing cover 21 engages with the mounting hole 11, the connection of the mounting tube 41 is completed. During this process, since the sleeve portion 22 and the outer side of the mounting tube 41 are also formed with the locking protrusion 47 and the slot 23, the locking force of the locking protrusion 47 and the slot 23 can further realize the stable connection between the sleeve portion 22 and the mounting tube 41.

[0041] Of course, in order to ensure that the mounting tube 41 is in the correct circumferential position when the sleeve part 22 and the mounting tube 41 are connected, the sleeve part 22 of the fixing cover 21 in this embodiment is also formed with a foolproof post 24, and the bottom of the mounting tube 41 has a foolproof opening 48 that matches the foolproof post 24. That is, in this embodiment, by adopting the plug-in cooperation method of the foolproof post 24 and the foolproof opening 48, the circumferential locking of the mounting tube 41 can be realized to improve the accuracy and convenience of its assembly.

[0042] In summary, this utility model innovatively adds a light-emitting component 4 inside the frame 1. When in use, the light-emitting component 4 makes the entire sphere more dazzling and beautiful, greatly enhancing its aesthetics and playability. In addition, the fixing method of the light-emitting component 4 has also been optimized. Two fixing covers 21 are used for locking and fixing. During the assembly process, the light-emitting component 4 only needs to be placed inside the frame 1 first, and then the two fixing covers 21 are installed to complete the fixing of the entire light-emitting component 4. This design is not only simple and convenient to operate, but also improves assembly efficiency.

[0043] 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.
