Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing float technology, specifically to a light-emitting float that is easy to press to switch. Background Technology

[0002] In modern fishing, luminous floats are a core tool for identifying fish bites at night or in low-light conditions, making the reliability and convenience of their light control function crucial. However, most mainstream luminous floats on the market currently employ the rudimentary operating method of "removing the batteries to turn off the light and inserting the batteries to turn the light on." This traditional control mode suffers from several insurmountable technical drawbacks:

[0003] From an operational convenience perspective, outdoor fishing scenarios often involve complex environments such as slippery surfaces and low temperatures. Anglers need to frequently disassemble the light source casing and precisely insert and remove small button batteries. This process is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to battery slippage and loss. In dimly lit nighttime conditions, searching for batteries further disrupts the fishing process and diminishes the angler's experience.

[0004] Regarding circuit stability, repeated battery insertion and removal inevitably causes wear on the electrode surface, leading to increased contact resistance and resulting in problems such as flickering lights and unstable brightness. Some floats even experience intermittent power outages due to improper battery installation, causing anglers to miss crucial fish bites and affecting their fishing success rate.

[0005] It is evident that the traditional lighting control method for luminous floats has become a technical bottleneck restricting the improvement of product performance, and a breakthrough urgently needs to be achieved through innovative design. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above, this utility model provides a light-emitting float that is easy to press to turn on or off, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model:

[0008] This utility model provides a light-emitting float with an easy-to-press switch, including a float body, a float rod, and a light emitter. The float rod is installed on the float body and extends through both ends of the float body. The light emitter is installed at the top of the float rod. The light emitter includes a connecting cylinder, a light-emitting element, a battery, and a pressing cylinder. One end of the connecting cylinder has a through hole, and the other end has a light-emitting hole, and it is sleeved to the top of the float rod through the light-emitting hole. The light-emitting element is installed inside the connecting cylinder, with its light-emitting end facing the light-emitting hole and its battery end facing the through hole. The battery is clamped inside the pressing cylinder. The connecting cylinder and the pressing cylinder achieve two clamping positions through a clamping structure: when the pressing cylinder is in the first clamping position, the battery and the light-emitting element are disconnected; when it is in the second clamping position, the battery and the light-emitting element are connected.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer circumferential surface of the connecting cylinder is provided with two snap-fit ​​protrusions, and the inner circumferential surface of the pressing cylinder is provided with an annular snap-fit ​​groove. The pressing cylinder is snapped onto the connecting cylinder through the annular snap-fit ​​groove and the snap-fit ​​protrusions.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the positions of the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the annular slot are interchanged.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting cylinder includes an integrally connected circular tube section and a conical section. The end of the conical section with a larger outer diameter is connected to the circular tube section. The through hole is located at the end of the circular tube section, the light-emitting hole is located at the tip of the conical section, and the light-emitting element is housed within the circular tube section.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer circumferential surface of the circular tube section is provided with a limiting step, and when the end face of the pressing cylinder abuts against the limiting step, the battery is electrically connected to the light-emitting element.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting element includes a lamp body and two pins, with the positive pin offset towards the center of the connecting cylinder and the negative pin close to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting element is an OLED or an LED.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the battery is a needle-tube lithium battery.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the section of the float rod located between the float and the light emitter is an optical fiber section, and the outer surface of the optical fiber section is provided with marking sections of different colors, and a black color-blocking area is provided between adjacent marking sections.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the float is a hollow or solid buoyancy structure.

[0018] This utility model, through its innovative press-type double-clamp structure design, completely revolutionizes the lighting control method of luminous floats, demonstrating significant technical advantages and practical value compared to existing technologies.

[0019] I. Significantly Improved Ease of Operation: This utility model features a dual-locking position for the pressing cylinder and the connecting cylinder. The angler only needs to apply slight pressure with one hand to smoothly switch the pressing cylinder between the two locking positions, easily controlling the on / off state of the light-emitting element. This process requires no tools and no battery removal, enabling rapid switching of light states and greatly improving ease of use.

[0020] 2. Stable and reliable circuit connection: The battery is firmly locked inside the pressing cylinder. When the pressing cylinder slides to switch the locking position, the battery and the electrodes of the light-emitting component always maintain precise alignment, effectively avoiding poor contact problems caused by battery loosening or displacement.

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a light-emitting float with an easy-to-press switch, including a float body 1, a float rod 2, and a light emitter 3. The float rod 2 is mounted on the float body 1, with both ends of the float rod 2 passing through both ends of the float body 1. The light emitter 3 is mounted on the top end of the float rod 2 (the end protruding above the water surface). The light emitter 3 includes a connecting cylinder 31, a light-emitting element 32, a battery 33, and a pressing cylinder 34. One end of the connecting cylinder 31 is a through hole 311, and the other end is a light-emitting hole 312. The connecting cylinder 31 is sleeved onto the top end of the float rod 2 through the light-emitting hole 312. The light-emitting element 32 is installed inside the connecting cylinder 31, with the light-emitting end of the light-emitting element 32 facing the light-emitting hole 312 and the battery end of the light-emitting element 32 facing into the through hole 311. The battery 33 is secured inside the pressing cylinder 34. The connecting cylinder 31 and the pressing cylinder 34 are engaged. The connecting cylinder 31 and the pressing cylinder 34 have two locking positions. When the pressing cylinder 34 is in the first locking position, the battery 33 is disconnected from the light-emitting element 32. When the pressing cylinder 34 is in the second locking position, the battery 33 is connected to the light-emitting element 32. The pressing cylinder 34 is switched between the two locking positions by external force, thereby realizing the light-emitting element 32 emitting light or turning off.

[0033] In use, when the pressing cylinder 34 is in the first locking position, the battery 33 is disconnected from the light-emitting element 32, and the light-emitting element 32 is in an off state. When fishing at night, external force acts on the pressing cylinder 34 to overcome the locking force, causing the pressing cylinder 34 to slide into the second locking position, locking the positive and negative terminals of the battery 33 inside the pressing cylinder 34 to contact the positive and negative terminals of the light-emitting element 32, and the light-emitting element 32 is powered on and illuminates. When it is necessary to turn off the light-emitting element 32, external force acts on the pressing cylinder 34 to overcome the locking force, causing the pressing cylinder 34 to slide into the first locking position, locking the positive and negative terminals of the battery 33 inside the pressing cylinder 34 to disconnect from the positive and negative terminals of the light-emitting element 32, and the light-emitting element 32 is de-energized and turns off.

[0034] This utility model, through its innovative press-type double-clamp structure design, completely revolutionizes the lighting control method of luminous floats, demonstrating significant technical advantages and practical value compared to existing technologies.

[0035] I. Significantly Improved Ease of Operation: This utility model features a dual-locking position for the pressing cylinder and the connecting cylinder. The angler only needs to apply slight pressure with one hand to smoothly switch the pressing cylinder 34 between the two locking positions, easily controlling the on / off state of the light-emitting element 32. This process requires no tools and no battery removal, enabling rapid switching of light states and greatly improving ease of use.

[0036] II. Stable and reliable circuit connection: The battery 33 is firmly locked inside the pressing cylinder 34. When the pressing cylinder 34 slides to switch the locking position, the electrodes of the battery 33 and the light-emitting element 32 always maintain precise alignment, effectively avoiding poor contact problems caused by battery loosening or displacement.

[0037] III. Extended Product Lifespan: Reducing frequent battery disassembly and assembly effectively avoids electrode wear and battery depletion. Combined with a physical disconnect design at dual snap-fit ​​positions, it achieves zero standby power consumption when not in operation, extending battery life. Simultaneously, stable circuit connections significantly reduce the probability of internal component damage, substantially improving the overall durability of the float and lowering user operating costs.

[0038] In summary, this utility model, through its innovative structural design, successfully solves the technical problems of traditional luminous floats, such as cumbersome operation and unstable circuits. It achieves comprehensive improvements in practicality, reliability, and user experience, and has extremely high market promotion value and broad application prospects.

[0039] In this embodiment, the outer circumferential surface of the connecting cylinder 31 has two snap-fit ​​protrusions 313, and the inner circumferential surface of the pressing cylinder 34 has an annular groove 341. The pressing cylinder 34 is snapped onto the connecting cylinder 31 through the annular groove 341 and the snap-fit ​​protrusions 313. It can be understood that the positions of the snap-fit ​​protrusions 313 and the annular groove 341 can be interchanged. When the pressing cylinder 34 slides along the connecting cylinder 31, the engagement of the snap-fit ​​protrusions 313 and the annular groove 341 produces clear locking feedback. The angler can judge the on / off status of the light-emitting element by feel and sound, realizing blind operation and quickly turning the light on and off with one hand. The snap-fit ​​design eliminates the need for additional connecting parts, simplifies the internal structure, and reduces assembly complexity. The snap-fit ​​protrusions 313 and the annular groove 341 are integrally molded from high-strength materials and show no deformation or wear after thousands of pressing tests, effectively extending the service life of the float.

[0040] In other embodiments, the inner circumferential surface of the connecting cylinder 31 has two engaging protrusions 313, and the outer circumferential surface of the pressing cylinder 34 has an annular groove 341. The pressing cylinder 34 is engaged with the engaging protrusions 313 through the annular groove 341. It can be understood that the positions of the engaging protrusions 313 and the annular groove 341 can be interchanged.

[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting cylinder 31 includes an integrally connected circular tube section 314 and a tapered section 315. The end of the tapered section 315 with a larger outer diameter is connected to the circular tube section 314. A through hole 311 is formed at the end of the circular tube section 314. A light-emitting hole 312 is formed at the tip of the tapered section 315. The light-emitting element 32 is housed within the circular tube section 314. The tapered section 315 can effectively converge and directionally emit light from the light-emitting element 32. When the light emitted by the light-emitting element 32 propagates to the tapered section 315, as the tube diameter gradually decreases, the light is focused and emitted from the light-emitting hole 312 at the tip of the cone, forming a more concentrated and stronger beam of light. This effectively increases the penetration distance of the light, making it easier for anglers to clearly observe the float light in a more distant water environment, thus improving the visibility and effectiveness of the float light.

[0042] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the circular tube segment 314 has a limiting step 316, so that when the end face of the pressing cylinder 34 abuts against the limiting step 316, the battery 33 and the light-emitting element 32 are electrically connected.

[0043] The light-emitting element 32 includes a lamp body and two pins connected to the lamp body. The positive pin is offset towards the center of the connecting cylinder 31, and the negative pin is close to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 31. This facilitates electrical connection with the positive and negative terminals of the battery 33.

[0044] The light-emitting element 32 can be either OLED or LED. OLED features self-illumination, wide viewing angle, and high contrast, providing more uniform and softer light within the connecting tube 31. This reduces eye strain for anglers during nighttime fishing, and its high contrast makes the light more easily identifiable underwater, even in complex lighting conditions. LED, on the other hand, is known for its high brightness, long lifespan, and low energy consumption. High brightness further enhances light penetration in water, long lifespan means less frequent replacement of the light-emitting element, and low energy consumption helps extend the battery 33's operating time, making it particularly suitable for extended fishing sessions and reducing operating costs.

[0045] Battery 33 uses a needle-shaped battery (such as CR311, CR316, CR322, CR425, CR435 lithium battery), which is small in size (about 4mm in diameter and about 25mm in length), suitable for the narrow space inside the float, and has a capacity of about 30mAh, which can be used continuously for 10-20 hours.

[0046] One end of the pressing cylinder 34 is a closed end, and the other end is an open end for the battery terminals of the battery 33 to extend out.

[0047] The section of the float rod 2 located between the float 1 and the light emitter 3 is an optical fiber segment. With the cooperation of the light emitter 32, the optical fiber segment transmits light from the light emitter 3 to the float 1 to emit light, which is suitable for night fishing.

[0048] The outer surface of the fiber segment has different colored markings, and there is a black color-blocking area between two adjacent markings, which can be used day and night.

[0049] Float 1 is a hollow structure with buoyancy, such as a transparent shell. Alternatively, float 1 can also be a solid structure with buoyancy, as long as it can generate enough buoyancy to keep the float upright on the water surface.

[0050] In summary, this utility model, through its innovative structural design, enables the annular slot 341 to switch between the two engaging protruding rings 313 by pushing the pressing cylinder 34, thus quickly completing the light switching. It successfully solves the technical problems of cumbersome operation and unstable circuit in traditional luminous floats, achieving a comprehensive improvement in practicality, reliability, and user experience. It has extremely high market promotion value and broad application prospects.
