[0003] However, in existing products, most lamp shades are of a fixed size, which is not conducive to storage when not in use. In addition, solar panels are usually set outside the lamp shade, which increases the overall size of the lamp and is also not aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a solar-powered inflatable lamp sphere, which has the advantages of simple start-up, good lighting effect, and the ability to conceal the solar panel. It also has a simple structure, low production cost, and is cost-effective, effectively solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A solar-powered inflatable lamp sphere includes a housing and a power supply box. The bottom of the housing has a placement tray that ensures the lamp is stably placed on a horizontal surface, guaranteeing illumination. The power supply box is placed on the placement tray and positioned in the center, cooperating with the tray to concentrate weight in the center, increasing the weight at the center of the tray and facilitating horizontal placement of the lamp. The sidewalls of the housing have LED strips designed to fit snugly against the sidewalls, reducing the housing's attenuation of brightness. The LED strips are electrically connected to the power supply box, which provides power to the LED strips for stable illumination. The housing has an inflation hole for easy inflation. The cover can be inflated or deflated for easy storage. When inflated, the cover forms a partially spherical shape with the placement tray, and its flat bottom facilitates placement. A photovoltaic panel is located on one side of the power box inside the cover, which converts sunlight into heat. The cover is transparent, allowing sunlight to penetrate and illuminate the photovoltaic panel, enabling it to emit light without charging. The power box contains a battery to store the electrical energy converted from solar energy. A control panel is located at the bottom of the power box for controlling the start and stop of the light strip and its lighting mode. Grounding nails are also connected to the side wall of the cover, which can be driven into the ground to prevent the light sphere from being blown away.

[0007] In one embodiment, the light strip is an LED light strip, and the LED light strip is equipped with LED beads. The LED light strip is arc-shaped and attached to the inner wall of the cover. LED lights have the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving, with energy consumption only 10% to 20% of that of incandescent lamps, saving more than 50% of electricity compared to energy-saving lamps. Long-term use can significantly reduce electricity bills. Therefore, the electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel is sufficient for it to emit light for a long time. It has an ultra-long lifespan, with a service life of 30,000 to 50,000 hours, which is more than 25 times that of incandescent lamps, reducing the trouble of frequent replacements. Moreover, it is environmentally friendly and safe, containing no harmful substances such as mercury and lead, and has no ultraviolet radiation, making it suitable for home use. When emitting light, the brightness is stable, there is no delay in starting, and the light is soft and flicker-free, protecting eyesight and suitable for long-term lighting. Furthermore, the LED light strip can be bent at any angle and can deform together with the cover. After the cover is deflated and compressed, the LED light strip folds, reducing the occupied area and making it easy to store.

[0008] In one embodiment, a plurality of LED light strips are arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the cover with the center of the placement plate as the axis. All the LED light strips evenly divide the cover into a plurality of parts to ensure that the light is emitted evenly. The cover is provided with a strip groove for limiting the position of the LED light strips, effectively restricting the position of the LED light strips so that they cannot move and ensuring the lighting effect.

[0009] In one embodiment, the material of the strip placement groove is the same as that of the cover body, both of which are light-transmitting. The use of the same material reduces production costs. The strip placement groove has folded edges on both sides. The folded edges can be bent to create thickness, forming a strip placement space in the middle of the strip placement groove to accommodate the LED strip. The bottom of the folded edges is connected to the inner wall of the cover body, ensuring that the strip placement groove can be bent / folded together with the cover body. At the same time, during the bending / folding process, the LED strip is bent / folded along with the groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the center of the placement tray has a slot for exposing the bottom surface of the power supply box, that is, the control panel is exposed through the slot, making it easy for the user to operate the control panel. At the same time, the thickness of the placement tray allows for a gap between the control panel and the horizontal plane when placed. A battery slot is provided on one side of the control panel, and the battery is placed in the battery slot. It is designed to be removable for easy replacement by the user. The control panel has a first button and a second button. The first button is used to control the start and stop of the LED light strip, while the second button is used to control the mode of the LED light strip.

[0011] In one embodiment, the bottom and sides of the placement tray are covered with a soft film sleeve, which gives the bottom of the placement tray a certain degree of elasticity and can play a cushioning role. The soft film sleeve isolates the control panel from the outside world.

[0012] In one embodiment, the number of LED light strips is the same as the number of the strip slots, and the two correspond one-to-one. There are six LED strips arranged in a circular array of six luminous lines in the cover. The air inlet is located at the top of the cover and is provided with a plug to facilitate inflation and deflation.

[0013] In one embodiment, the power box is cylindrical, and there are three battery slots. The power box does not have a control panel or buttons 1 and 2. It can be used simply by inserting batteries. The structure is simple and the production cost is low.

[0014] In one embodiment, the power supply box is cylindrical, with a twist-top cover at the bottom. The control panel is mounted on the twist-top cover, with a button battery electrically connected to the lower end of the control panel. The top end of the control panel can be electrically connected to an LED light strip. Tightening the twist-top cover enables the button battery to be electrically connected to the LED light strip, allowing the button battery to discharge directly without the need for button control.

[0015] In one embodiment, the control panel is equipped with a touch ring, and the top wall of the power supply box has contacts that mate with the touch ring. These contacts are electrically connected to the LED light strip. The screw cap and the side wall of the power supply box have mating threads. The threads ensure a stable distance between the screw cap and the power supply box. By controlling the distance between the contacts and the touch ring, the start and stop of the LED light strip can be controlled without the need for a separate button, achieving the same effect.

The power box 2 contains... The battery 7 and the power box 2 have a control panel 8 at the bottom. Before use, the inflatable lamp is placed in the sunlight. At this time, the cover 1 can be either deflated or inflated. The photovoltaic panel 6 converts light energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery 7. When in use, if the cover 1 is deflated, gas is injected through the air pump through the air inlet 5 to inflate the cover 1 into a hemispherical shape. Then, the light strip 4 can be lit through the control panel 8. When storing, it can be stored without deflating, or the cover 1 can be deflated through the air inlet 5 to make it deflated and flattened for storage. The side wall of the cover 1 is also connected to the ground nail 22, which can be driven into the ground to fix the lamp ball.

[0051] Preferably, the light strip 4 is an LED light strip, which is equipped with LED beads. The LED light strip is arc-shaped and attached to the inner wall of the cover 1. The LED light strip can be bent at any angle and can deform together with the cover 1.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, when the light strip 4 is powered on, the LED beads light up, and the light-emitting side of the LED beads is in contact with the inner wall of the cover 1, reducing the loss of brightness.

To facilitate user operation, prompt symbols should be printed on button 15 and button 26.

[0061] Preferably, the number of LED light strips is the same as the number of the strip slots 10, and the number is six. The air inlet 5 is located at the top of the cover 1, and the air inlet is provided with a plug 17.

[0062] By adopting the above technical solution, after inflation, the plug 17 is installed on the inflation hole 5 to prevent air leakage in the cover 1, ensuring the expansion degree of the cover 1. The number of LED light strips and the number of the strip slots 10 are the same and correspond one-to-one, ensuring that the light emitted by the LED light strips has no dead angles. Example 2

[0063] Please see Figure 10-12Based on Embodiment 1, this application also provides a solution without a control panel 8 and buttons 15 and 16. This solution only modifies the power box 2 of Embodiment 1; the inflation / deflation method of the cover 1 and the connection method between the light strip 4 and the cover 1 remain unchanged. The specific improvements are as follows:

[0064] Preferably, the power box 2 is cylindrical, the number of battery slots 14 is three, and the power box 2 does not have a control panel 8 and buttons 15 and 16.

[0065] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, simply insert the battery into the battery slot 14 to make the LED light strip light up; when not in use, simply remove the battery. Example 3

[0066] Please see Figure 13-17 Based on Embodiment 1, this application also provides a solution without a control panel 8 and buttons 15 and 16. This solution only modifies the power box 2 of Embodiment 1; the inflation / deflation method of the cover 1 and the connection method between the light strip 4 and the cover 1 remain unchanged. The specific improvements are as follows:

[0067] Preferably, the power supply box 2 is cylindrical, and a twist cover 18 is provided at the bottom of the power supply box 2. The control panel 8 is disposed on the twist cover 18. A button battery 19 is electrically connected to the lower end of the control panel 8, and the top end of the control panel 8 can be electrically connected to the LED light strip.

[0068] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the button battery 19 is placed into the twist cover 18, the control panel 8 is installed on the button battery 19, and then the twist cover 18 is tightened to enable the button battery 19 to supply power to the LED light strip.

[0069] Preferably, the control panel 8 is provided with a touch ring 20, and the top wall of the power box 2 is provided with a contact 21 that mates with the touch ring 20. The contact 21 is connected to the LED light strip, and the twist cover 18 and the side wall of the power box 2 are provided with threads that mate with each other.

[0070] By adopting the above technical solution, the button battery 19 is placed in the twist cover 18, and then the control panel 8 is installed on the button battery 19. Tightening the twist cover 18 can enable the button battery 19 to supply power to the LED light strip. After being fully tightened, the contact 21 and the contact ring are in contact and conduct electricity. When it is necessary to stop the power supply, simply loosen the twist cover 18 without completely unscrewing it. After loosening, the contact ring 20 moves away from the contact 21, and the mating threads ensure that the twist cover 18 will not detach from the power box 2.

[0071] Working principle: The cover 1 can be inflated / deflated through the inflation hole 5. When inflated, the cover 1 expands and bulges into a hemispherical shape with the placement plate 3. During the expansion process, the cover 1 will deform along with the light strip 4, making the light strip 4 into an arc shape. Under sunlight, the photovoltaic panel 6 can convert light energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery 7. It can be used without charging. After use, the cover 1 is deflated through the inflation hole 5. Through the cooperation of the placement groove 10 and the side wall of the cover 1, the cover 1 and the light strip 4 can be folded together for storage.
