Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mobile lighting equipment, and in particular relates to a flashlight with multiple light sources arranged side by side. Background Technology

[0002] In various scenarios such as outdoor adventures, camping, emergency repairs, security patrols, and even everyday household use, flashlights serve as essential portable lighting tools, and their functionality and convenience are paramount. Traditional flashlight designs typically feature only a single light source with relatively fixed illumination modes (such as long-range beam, floodlight, or specific spectrum). When users need to switch between different scenarios—for example, needing long-distance navigation while hiking, requiring wide-area floodlight or soft ambient lighting at a campsite, or needing specific light sources for work (such as UV detection or laser pointers)—they often have to carry multiple flashlights with different functions. This not only increases the burden and cost of carrying them but also easily leads to confusion in use and management, significantly reducing the user experience.

[0003] To overcome the limitations of a single light source, some flashlights integrating multiple light sources have appeared on the market. However, most of these products use a design that stacks different light sources in series along the length (axial direction) of the flashlight. While this design integrates multiple functions, it inevitably leads to a significant increase in the overall length of the flashlight, making it bulky, inconvenient to hold, and difficult to fit into a regular pocket or small storage bag, seriously affecting its portability and convenience for daily use. Users often face a dilemma between feature richness and portability: either endure the inconvenience of carrying multiple dedicated devices, or compromise with an overly long and difficult-to-store "multi-functional" device.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a compact, easy-to-grip, and easy-to-store multi-light source flashlight that can be arranged side by side. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a flashlight with multiple light sources arranged side by side. This flashlight can effectively integrate various types and directions of light sources to meet the diverse lighting needs of users in different scenarios. It also has the advantages of compact structure, easy grip and storage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A flashlight with multiple light sources arranged side by side, comprising:

[0008] A housing, wherein a first cylindrical section and a second cylindrical section are arranged side by side inside the housing for accommodating components, and the first cylindrical section and the second cylindrical section are in communication with each other;

[0009] A first lighting component disposed at one end of the first cylindrical portion includes a first light source whose illumination direction is coaxial with the first cylindrical portion;

[0010] A second lighting assembly disposed at one end of the second cylindrical portion includes a second light source whose illumination direction is coaxial with that of the second cylindrical portion;

[0011] A third lighting assembly located at the body of the second cylindrical section includes a third light source and a light-transmitting side cover mounted on the side of the second cylindrical section, wherein the third light source illuminates outward through the light-transmitting side cover;

[0012] A battery is disposed inside the first cylindrical portion, and the battery is electrically connected to the first light source, the second light source, and the third light source, respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing includes a first cylindrical shell and a second cylindrical shell arranged side by side, the first cylindrical shell and the second cylindrical shell being connected by a connecting post, the first cylindrical portion being formed inside the first cylindrical shell, and the second cylindrical portion being formed inside the second cylindrical shell.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting column is provided with a connecting channel for connecting the first cylindrical part and the second cylindrical part.

[0015] Furthermore, a tail switch is provided at the end of the first cylindrical shell away from the first lighting component for controlling the first light source.

[0016] Furthermore, the second cylindrical portion has a magnetic tail cap at the end away from the second lighting component.

[0017] Furthermore, the light-transmitting side cover is a transparent cylindrical structure and is detachably connected to the second cylindrical shell. The interior of the second cylindrical shell and the interior of the light-transmitting side cover together form the second cylindrical part, and the magnetic tail cover is connected to the end of the light-transmitting side cover.

[0018] Furthermore, the side of the magnetic tail cap is fixed to the connecting post with screws.

[0019] Furthermore, a side switch is provided on the side of the second cylindrical shell for controlling the second light source and the third light source.

[0020] Furthermore, the first lighting component and the second lighting component also include a reflector, a light-transmitting sheet, and a fixing ring for fixing the reflector and the light-transmitting sheet, and the first lighting component and the second lighting component are both located at the same end of the housing.

[0021] Furthermore, the third light source is a camping ambient light, and the first and second light sources are any two combinations of floodlights, UV lights, high beams, and laser lights.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] This invention employs a first and second cylindrical section arranged side-by-side and interconnected, with a first and second light source coaxially positioned on each section, and a third light source positioned on the side of the second cylindrical section. All light sources share a single battery power supply, achieving a compact integration of multiple functional light sources into a single flashlight. This reduces the overall length, making it easy to carry and store. A connecting channel within the connecting column facilitates the smooth passage and connection of battery wires, control circuitry, and other components between the cylindrical sections. A tail switch at the tail of the first cylindrical section allows the user to directly operate the first light source with their thumb while holding the flashlight. A magnetic tail cap at the end of the second cylindrical section allows the flashlight to adhere to a metal surface. This invention effectively integrates multiple types and directions of light sources, meeting diverse lighting needs in different scenarios, and offers advantages such as compact structure, ease of holding, and easy storage.

[0033] See appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The figure shows a specific embodiment of a multi-light source flashlight with side-by-side combination provided by this utility model.

[0034] See appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 A multi-light source flashlight arranged side-by-side includes:

[0035] The housing 1 has a first cylindrical section 111 and a second cylindrical section 121 arranged side by side inside the housing 1 for accommodating components, and the first cylindrical section 111 and the second cylindrical section 121 are interconnected.

[0036] The first lighting assembly 2, located at one end of the first cylindrical portion 111, includes a first light source 210 whose illumination direction is coaxial with the first cylindrical portion 111;

[0037] The second lighting assembly 3, located at one end of the second cylindrical portion 121, includes a second light source 310 whose illumination direction is coaxial with that of the second cylindrical portion 121.

[0038] The third lighting assembly 4, located on the body of the second cylindrical section 121, includes a third light source 410 and a light-transmitting side cover 420 installed on the side of the second cylindrical section 121. The third light source 410 illuminates outward through the light-transmitting side cover 420.

[0039] A battery 5 is installed inside the first cylindrical section 111, and the battery 5 is electrically connected to the first light source 210, the second light source 310, and the third light source 410 respectively.

[0040] See appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 In the above embodiment, the first cylindrical section 111 and the second cylindrical section 121 are arranged side by side and interconnected. Each cylindrical section corresponds to a first light source 210 and a second light source 310 that provide coaxial illumination. In the body area, the body area of ​​the first cylindrical section 111 is used to place the battery 5, while the body area of ​​the second cylindrical section 121 is used to place the third light source 410 to achieve side illumination of the body. The battery 5 simultaneously powers the first light source 210, the second light source 310 and the third light source 410, thereby compactly integrating multiple functional light sources into a flashlight, shortening the overall length, and making it easy to carry and store. In this embodiment, the third light source 410 is a camping atmosphere light. A large area of ​​light panel is used inside the second tube 121 to achieve a large area of ​​light emission on the tube body, which is convenient for creating a camping atmosphere. The first light source 210 and the second light source 310 are any two combinations of floodlights, UV lights, high beams, and laser lights, which allows the flashlight to be flexibly adapted to various professional and leisure scenarios, such as large-area floodlighting, ultraviolet detection, long-distance search, laser positioning, etc., expanding the functionality and application range of the product. In this embodiment, the first lighting component 2 and the second lighting component 3 also include a reflector 10, a light-transmitting sheet 11, and a fixing ring 12 for fixing the reflector 10 and the light-transmitting sheet 11, and the first lighting component 2 and the second lighting component 3 are both located at the same end of the housing 1.

[0041] See appendix Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the housing 1 includes a first cylindrical shell 110 and a second cylindrical shell 120 arranged side by side, connected by a connecting post 130. A first cylindrical portion 111 is formed inside the first cylindrical shell 110, and a second cylindrical portion 121 is formed inside the second cylindrical shell 120. In this embodiment, by designing the housing 1 as a first cylindrical shell 110 and a second cylindrical shell 120 connected by a connecting post 130, a modular housing structure is achieved, facilitating manufacturing and assembly while ensuring the stability of the side-by-side structure. As shown in the attached diagram... Figure 4 As shown, the connecting column 130 is provided with a connecting channel 131 for connecting the first cylindrical part 111 and the second cylindrical part 121, which facilitates the smooth passage and connection of components such as wires and control circuits of the battery 5 between the first cylindrical part 111 and the second cylindrical part 121, simplifies internal wiring, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0042] See appendix Figure 2 In the above embodiments, a tail switch 6 is provided at the end of the first casing 110 away from the first lighting component 2 for controlling the first light source 210. In this embodiment, the tail switch 6 at the tail of the first casing 110 allows the user to control the first light source 210 when holding the flashlight in a reverse grip. Correspondingly, the first light source 210 can be configured as a floodlight for near-field illumination. In this embodiment, a side switch 9 is provided on the side of the second casing 120 for controlling the second light source 310 and the third light source 410. This allows the user to control the second light source 310 when holding the flashlight upright. Correspondingly, the second light source 310 can be configured as a high beam for long-distance illumination. Since the third light source 410 is located on the body of the second casing 121, using a side switch 9, also located on the side of the body, to control the third light source 410 is more intuitive for the user.

[0043] See appendix Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the second cylindrical portion 121 is provided with a magnetic tail cap 7 at the end away from the second lighting component 3. In the embodiment, the magnetic tail cap 7 consists of a tail cap 710 and a magnet 720 assembled inside the tail cap 710, so that the flashlight can be attached to iron surfaces such as vehicle hoods, toolboxes, tent frames, etc., freeing the user's hands and facilitating fixed lighting in scenarios such as maintenance and camping.

[0044] See appendix Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the light-transmitting side cover 420 is a transparent cylindrical structure and is detachably connected to the second cylindrical shell 120. The interior of the second cylindrical shell 120 and the interior of the light-transmitting side cover 420 together form the second cylindrical portion 121, and the magnetic tail cap 7 is connected to the end of the light-transmitting side cover 420. In this embodiment, the transparent cylindrical structure of the light-transmitting side cover 420 achieves a large-area uniform lateral light transmission effect when the third light source 410 is used as a camping ambient light, and facilitates the removal of the light-transmitting side cover 420 for cleaning, maintenance, or replacement of the third light source 410. In this embodiment, the second cylindrical shell 120 and the light-transmitting side cover 420 are fixed by a threaded connection.

[0045] See appendix Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the side of the magnetic tail cap 7 is fixed to the connecting post 130 by screws 8. In the embodiment, the length of the first cylindrical shell 110 is greater than the length of the second cylindrical shell 120. The light-transmitting side cover 420 is fixed to the second cylindrical shell 120 by threaded connection. In order to ensure the overall structural stability of the light-transmitting side cover 420, the magnetic tail cap 7 is fixed to the connecting post 130 from the side after being connected to the end of the light-transmitting side cover 420, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the magnetic tail cap 7 and the light-transmitting side cover 420 and the main structure of the entire shell 1, preventing loosening or falling off during adsorption or accidental collision.

[0046] In summary, this embodiment provides a flashlight with multiple light sources arranged side-by-side. By employing a first tube 111 and a second tube 121 arranged side-by-side and interconnected, and respectively arranging a first light source 210 and a second light source 310 for coaxial illumination, and a third light source 410 on the side of the second tube 121, all powered by the same battery 5, multiple functional light sources are compactly integrated into one flashlight, shortening the overall length and making it easy to carry and store. A connecting channel 131 is provided in the connecting post 130 to facilitate the smooth passage and connection of battery wires, control circuits, and other components between the tubes. A tail switch 6 is provided at the tail of the first tube 110, allowing the user to directly operate the first light source 210 with their thumb while holding the flashlight. A magnetic tail cap 7 is provided at the end of the second tube 121, allowing the flashlight to be attached to an iron surface. This embodiment can effectively integrate multiple light sources of different types and illumination directions to meet the diverse lighting needs of users in different scenarios, and has the advantages of compact structure, easy grip, and easy storage.
