Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flashlight technology, and in particular to a flashlight with strobe function. Background Technology

[0002] Flashlights are primarily used for emergency lighting, but with technological advancements, people have increasingly higher demands for them, rendering traditional flashlights inadequate. Therefore, in addition to illumination, flashlights have incorporated various other functions, such as light distress signals, sound distress signals, electric shock, and strobe. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN201721217276.0 discloses a waterproof flashlight with a USB direct charging interface and a one-button strobe switch. By separating the strobe switch, pressing it directly activates the strobe mode, simplifying control and solving the problem of traditional flashlights requiring multiple presses to switch to strobe mode when using a single button. However, this solution also has some problems. First, the strobe switch is located on the side wall of the flashlight body. When using it, the flashlight is often hung on a belt or other items with a clip, and the strobe switch on the side wall of the flashlight body is sometimes easily blocked, which will affect the operation. Second, the strobe switch can only be controlled by pressing, and in some usage scenarios it is not convenient to press, which will also have an adverse effect on activating the strobe function. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a shake-controlled strobe flashlight with a more reasonable structural design, more convenient operation, and less hindrance in activating the strobe function.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a shake-controlled strobe flashlight, comprising a main body, on which a battery, a power switch and a strobe switch are disposed. The strobe switch is disposed at the tail end of the main body and includes a switch cap and a strobe control board (i.e., a circuit board for controlling the strobe). The strobe control board is electrically connected to the battery. A rearwardly protruding switch with both shaking and pressing functions is disposed on the strobe control board. The switch cap is connected to the switch with both shaking and pressing functions, and the switch cap protrudes outside the tail cover of the main body to form a structure that can perform shaking and pressing actions.

[0005] Furthermore, the switch that combines shaking and pressing functions is a rocker / head-shaking switch, with a fixing sleeve fixed to its outside, which is embedded and fixed in the switch cap.

[0006] Furthermore, the joystick / head switch is a switch that combines pressing and cross-shaped rocking functions, allowing for five different operation actions: pressing, rocking up, rocking down, rocking left, and rocking right.

[0007] Furthermore, a cover is connected to the front end of the switch cap, which completely covers the rocker / sway switch.

[0008] Furthermore, a spring is provided at the front of the strobe control board, and a conductive cap is provided at the front of the spring. The strobe control board is electrically connected to the battery through the spring and the conductive cap.

[0009] Furthermore, a locking sleeve is provided in front of the strobe control board, which separates the battery from the strobe control board, and the conductive cap is installed in the locking sleeve and protrudes forward.

[0010] Furthermore, the strobe control board is assembled and fixed to the tail cap of the main body by several fixing pins.

[0011] Preferably, the conductive cap is made of a material with good electrical conductivity, such as a copper cap.

[0012] Furthermore, the power switch is located on the outer wall of the main body, and a clamp is also installed on the outer wall of the main body.

[0013] This invention places the strobe switch at the tail end of the flashlight body, making it less likely to be obstructed or interfered with, whether handheld or worn on the body, thus facilitating the activation of the strobe function at any time. Furthermore, the strobe switch can be operated not only by pressing but also by shaking it like a game controller. When pressing is inconvenient, the strobe switch can be shaken in any direction—up, down, left, or right—to activate the strobe function, making operation more flexible and convenient.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-5The shake-controlled strobe flashlight includes a main body 1, on which a battery 11, a light source, a circuit board, a power switch 12, and a strobe switch are disposed. The strobe switch is located at the tail end of the main body 1 and includes a switch cap 2 and a strobe control board 3 (i.e., a circuit board for controlling the strobe). The strobe control board 3 is electrically connected to the battery 11. A rearward protruding switch that has both shaking and pressing functions is disposed on the strobe control board 3, i.e., a rocker / shake switch. In this embodiment, a rocker switch 31 is used. The switch cap 2 is connected to the rocker switch 31, and the switch cap 2 protrudes outside the tail cap of the main body 1 to enable shaking and pressing actions.

[0021] A fixing sleeve 6 is fixed to the outside of the rocker switch 31. The fixing sleeve 6 is embedded in the switch cap 2, which can increase the torque and make it easier and smoother to rock the switch cap 2.

[0022] The rocker switch 31 has a pressing function and a cross-shaped rocking function, and can perform five operation actions such as pressing, rocking up, rocking down, rocking left and rocking right. Therefore, it can more flexibly realize the activation of the strobe function when it is inconvenient to operate.

[0023] The front end of the switch cap 2 is connected to a cover 21, which completely covers the rocker switch 31.

[0024] A spring 32 is provided in front of the strobe control board 3, and a conductive cap 4 is provided in front of the spring 32. The strobe control board 3 is electrically connected to the battery 11 through the spring 32 and the conductive cap 4.

[0025] A locking sleeve 5 is provided in front of the strobe control board 3, which separates the battery 11 from the strobe control board 3. The conductive cap 4 is installed in the locking sleeve 5 and protrudes forward. The locking sleeve 5 is fixed by the tail cover of the main body 1.

[0026] The strobe control board is assembled and fixed to the tail cover of the main body by several fixing pins.

[0027] The conductive cap 4 is made of materials with good conductivity, such as copper caps; aluminum caps and stainless steel caps are also acceptable.

[0028] The power switch 12 is located on the outer wall of the main body 1. A clip 13 is also provided on the outer wall of the main body 1 to fix the entire flashlight, such as by clipping it onto a hat, clothes, belt or other places that can be clipped.

[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
