Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of twist stick technology, and in particular to an electronically luminous twist stick. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe cleaners are a craft material that combines a soft touch with malleability, and have become increasingly popular in DIY crafts, children's crafts, and creative design in recent years. During production, pipe cleaners are made by wrapping metal wires with imitation rabbit fur fibers, resulting in a delicate, fluffy surface that feels similar to real rabbit fur, but is safer and easier to clean. Rabbit fur can also be replaced with materials such as coral fleece or glitter, thus enriching the product range.
[0003] With the diversification of market demands, traditional pipe cleaners have significant limitations in functionality, especially in creative applications requiring luminous effects. Current solutions combine LED light strips with pipe cleaners, but this design struggles to balance safety, durability, and aesthetics. Specifically, directly combining LED light strips with pipe cleaners has several technical drawbacks: repeated bending of the pipe cleaner can easily cause the LED light strip's circuitry to break; users cutting the pipe cleaner may damage the integrity of the LED circuitry; the flammable fibers wrapped around the strips pose a fire hazard if they come into contact with the circuitry; the insufficient waterproofing of the LED light strips limits the product's outdoor applications; and the discrete LED beads lack continuity in their luminous effect, affecting the overall visual appeal.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of luminous twist stick with better safety, durability and aesthetics, so as to expand its application range. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, an insulating layer is provided between the core electrode and the light-emitting material layer.

[0013] Furthermore, the core electrode and the outer electrode are made of copper or aluminum.
[0014] Furthermore, the transparent filler layer is made of TUP.

[0026] like Figure 1-3As shown, an electronic light-emitting twisting stick includes an electroluminescent line 1, a metal wire 2, a winding material 3, and an electrical control box 4. The metal wire 2 is arranged along the electroluminescent line 1, and the winding material 3 is wound around the electroluminescent line 1 and the metal wire 2. The electrical control box 4 is detachably electrically connected to the electroluminescent line 1.

[0027] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: by setting the metal wire 2 to shape the product, the product can be easily bent into various shapes by the user and retain its shape after being bent; by setting the electroluminescent line 1, the product can emit light while also having the characteristics of being able to be bent at will, being able to be cut short, being waterproof, not generating heat, and emitting light continuously, thereby giving the product better safety, durability, and aesthetics, thus expanding its application range; and by wrapping the winding material 3, the appearance of the product is shaped, and various different visual effects can be brought about by wrapping different styles of winding material 3.
[0028] Electroluminescence, also known as electroluminescence or EL for short, is a physical phenomenon in which an electric field is generated by a voltage applied to two electrodes. Electrons excited by the electric field collide with the luminescent center, causing the electrons to transition, change, and recombine between energy levels, resulting in luminescence.
[0029] In the electroluminescent line 1, the core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4 are energized to form an alternating electric field. The alternating electric field causes electrons in the luminescent material layer 1.3 to repeatedly jump, releasing photons each time they jump, thereby emitting light. The transparent filling layer 1.5 is used to protect the core electrode 1.1, the insulating layer 1.2, the luminescent material layer 1.3 and the outer electrode 1.4 on its inner side.
[0030] Preferably, as one embodiment, the luminescent material layer 1.3 is made of zinc sulfide.
[0031] Preferably, as one embodiment, see Figure 2 The metal wire 2 is adhered to the outside of the transparent filler layer 1.5 on the electroluminescent line 1. This method of connecting the metal wire 2 to the electroluminescent line 1 has the advantages of simple manufacturing process and low cost.
[0032] Preferably, as another embodiment, see Figure 3 The metal wire 2 is embedded within the transparent filler layer 1.5 of the electroluminescent line 1 and does not contact the external electrode 1.4. By embedding the metal wire 2 within the electroluminescent line 1, the user will not be scratched by the metal wire, thereby reducing the safety hazards of this product and optimizing the user experience.
[0033] Preferably, the control box 4 is connected to a female port 4.1, and the electroluminescent line 1 is connected to a female port 1.6. The female port 1.6 is electrically connected to the core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4. The female port 1.6 and the female port 4.1 are detachably connected, allowing the user to easily remove the control box 4 to use the product, thus facilitating user design and storage. The user can also connect the female port 1.6 to other power supply devices, thereby expanding the application range of the product. The control box 4 acts as a power source to supply power to the electroluminescent line 1 and control the working state of the electroluminescent line 1; this technology is common and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] Preferably, the female port 1.6 is a USB interface or an SM terminal cable interface. USB interfaces include Micro USB, Type-A, Type-C, etc., which are common and frequently used electronic interfaces that are convenient for users; while SM terminal cables are inexpensive and help reduce production costs.
[0035] Preferably, an insulating layer 1.2 is provided between the core electrode 1.1 and the light-emitting material layer 1.3. The insulating layer 1.2 is made of polyvinyl chloride and is used to uniformly distribute the electric field.
[0036] Preferably, the external electrode 1.4 is wound in a spiral shape on the light-emitting material layer 1.3 with equal pitch, so that the electric field formed is uniform, thereby making the light-emitting material layer 1.3 emit light uniformly.
[0037] Preferably, the core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4 are made of copper or aluminum.
[0038] Preferably, the transparent filler layer 1.5 is made of TPU. Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) is a type of elastomer that can be plasticized by heating and dissolved by solvents. It has excellent comprehensive properties such as high strength, high toughness, wear resistance, and oil resistance, and good processing performance, which can enable this product to have a longer service life.
[0039] Preferably, the winding material 3 is made of polyester or nylon filaments. Relatively speaking, polyester filaments have higher toughness and elasticity, and can withstand greater tensile force, while nylon filaments have high mechanical strength. Using these two materials facilitates the processing of this product using mechanical devices, and also allows users to shape it multiple times without easily damaging it.
[0040] Preferably, as one embodiment, the wrapping material 3 is in the form of imitation rabbit fur fiber, coral fleece, or glitter.
[0041] The workflow of this product is as follows:
[0042] The core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4 are powered through the female port 4.1 on the electrical control box 4 and the female port 1.6 on the electroluminescent line 1. The core electrode 1.1 and the outer electrode 1.4 are energized to form an alternating electric field. The insulating layer 1.2 is used to store charge and uniformize the electric field. The alternating electric field causes electrons in the luminescent material layer 1.3 to repeatedly jump, releasing photons and emitting light each time they jump. The transparent filling layer 1.5 is used to protect the core electrode 1.1, the insulating layer 1.2, the luminescent material layer 1.3 and the outer electrode 1.4 inside it.
[0043] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting the metal wire 2 to shape the product, it can be easily bent into various shapes by the user and retain its shape after being bent; by setting the electroluminescent line 1, the product can emit light while also having the characteristics of being able to be bent at will, cut short, waterproof, non-heating, and emitting light continuously, thus giving the product better safety, durability, and aesthetics, thereby expanding its application range; by wrapping the winding material 3, the appearance of the product is shaped, and various different visual effects can be brought about by wrapping different styles of winding material 3; the button 4.1 is set to switch the light frequency of the electroluminescent line 1; the indicator light 4.2 is set to flash at the same frequency as the electroluminescent line 1, so that the user can judge the operating status of the product.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
