Detailed Implementation Methods

[0027] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] Specific embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the technical solution of this utility model is further explained. An emergency lighting device with a flip-top plug includes a device body 1 and a power plug 2. The outer surface of the device body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 10 for accommodating the power plug 2. The device body 1 is provided with a light-emitting circuit board 20 for providing lighting. The light-emitting circuit board 20 is electrically connected to the power plug 2. A flip structure 30 is provided at the connection between the light-emitting circuit board 20 and the power plug 2. The flip structure 30 is used to flip the power plug 2 so that when charging, the power plug 2 flips 90° outward from the receiving groove 10, and when charging is not required, the power plug 2 folds inward into the receiving groove 10.

[0029] In this embodiment, the flip-up structure design allows the power plug of the emergency lighting device to be folded inward into the receiving slot when not in use, making it easy to carry. When charging is needed, simply flip the power plug outward to insert it into a power outlet for charging, eliminating the need for the user to find a separate charging plug, thus improving the flexibility of the emergency lighting device. Secondly, the retractable design of the power plug can prevent accidental electric shock and other safety accidents caused by accidentally touching the plug.

[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the flip structure 30 includes a conductive connector 31 disposed on the light-emitting circuit board 20 and a rotating shaft 32 disposed on the power plug 2. The conductive connector 31 is provided with two grooves 33 that cooperate with the rotating shaft 32 to flip.

[0031] The diameters of the two grooves 33 are matched with the diameter of the rotating shaft 32.

[0032] Specifically, when charging is required, the user can flip the power plug 2 placed in the receiving slot 10 outward. At this time, the pivot 32 on the power plug 2 will rotate outward along the groove 33 due to the outward attraction, so that the power plug 2 can be flipped out of the receiving slot 10 for charging.

[0033] When fully charged or no longer needed, the user can fold the power plug 2 inward. At this time, the pivot 32 on the power plug 2 will rotate inward along the groove 33 due to the inward attraction, so that the power plug 2 can be flipped into the receiving groove 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, the groove design can limit the rotation range of the shaft, ensuring that the power plug can only be flipped within the set range, which helps to prevent the power plug from being flipped excessively; secondly, the cooperation between the groove and the shaft can prevent the power plug from shaking or shifting during the flipping process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the power plug flipping.

[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the light-emitting circuit board 20 is also provided with a power conversion module 21. The power conversion module 21 is electrically connected to the power plug 2 through the conductive connector 31. The power conversion module 21 is used to convert mains power into DC power to provide power to the light-emitting circuit board 20.

[0036] Specifically, during charging, the power plug 2 is inserted into the matching socket. At this time, the mains power is transmitted to the power conversion module 21 through the power plug 2 and the conductive connector 31. The power conversion module 21 converts the mains power into stable DC power to meet the working voltage requirements of the light-emitting circuit board 20, so that the light-emitting circuit board 20 can work normally.

[0037] In this embodiment, the power conversion module can convert mains power into stable DC power, providing the light-emitting circuit board with a voltage that meets its operating requirements, avoiding problems such as changes in light intensity, flickering or damage caused by unstable voltage, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of emergency lighting effects.

[0038] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the light-emitting circuit board 20 is also electrically connected to a storage battery 22, which is used to store electrical energy and to provide power to the light-emitting circuit board 20 during power outages.

[0039] Specifically, under normal power supply conditions, the DC power converted by the power conversion module 21 not only supplies the light-emitting circuit board 20 for normal operation, but also charges the battery 22 until it is fully charged; in case of emergency or power outage, the battery 22 will provide DC power to the light-emitting circuit board 20 so that the light-emitting circuit board 20 can continue to be used in emergency situations and provide emergency lighting for users.

[0040] Alternatively, the storage battery 22 can be a lithium battery.

[0041] In this embodiment, when an emergency or power outage occurs, the battery can provide DC power to the light-emitting circuit board, enabling the device to continuously provide lighting in any emergency situation, facilitating people to evacuate, find emergency equipment, or wait for rescue. Secondly, the combination of mains power supply and battery power supply forms a redundant power supply system, reducing the risk of the device failing to work properly due to a failure of a single power supply method, and improving the operational stability and reliability of the emergency lighting device.

[0042] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the light-emitting circuit board 20 is also provided with an illumination module 23, the illumination module 23 including a plurality of LED beads 231, the plurality of LED beads 231 being arranged at intervals on the light-emitting circuit board 20.

[0043] Alternatively, all of the LED beads 231 may be light-emitting diodes.

[0044] In this embodiment, the LED beads on the light-emitting circuit board are arranged at intervals, which enables the emergency lighting device to provide a softer and more uniform lighting effect, reduce shadows and areas with strong contrast between light and dark, and improve the lighting quality. Secondly, the spaced arrangement design is conducive to air circulation and facilitates the dissipation of heat from the LED beads, thereby avoiding heat accumulation that could lead to a decrease in the performance or damage of the LED beads, and improving the heat dissipation performance and service life of the emergency lighting device.

[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the main body 1 of the device is also provided with an illumination switch 11 for controlling the illumination brightness of the light-emitting circuit board 20.

[0046] The lighting switch 11 is provided with a protrusion 111 for easy pushing.

[0047] Optionally, the lighting switch 11 has three positions, which sequentially control the light-emitting circuit board 20 to emit strong light, control the light-emitting circuit board 20 to turn off the light, and control the light-emitting circuit board 20 to emit weak light.

[0048] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the main body 1 of the device is also provided with a lampshade 12, which is disposed on the same side as the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting circuit board 20.

[0049] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above description is one embodiment provided in conjunction with specific content, and does not imply that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. Furthermore, due to differences in industry naming conventions, it is not limited to the above names or English names. Any methods or structures similar to or identical to those of this utility model, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this utility model, should be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
