Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lighting devices, specifically relating to a lighting device and a detection device that can be freely plugged in and combined. Background Technology

[0002] Workers operating in mining, oil and gas extraction, or explosive environments typically require head-mounted searchlights for assistance. Traditional head-mounted searchlights usually consist of a fixedly connected lamp head and battery pack, which may be integrated into the lamp head or connected via wires. This integrated design is convenient for operators, but it has some limitations in practical applications. First, when the battery runs out, the operator must remove the old equipment and put on the new one, which is inconvenient in hazardous environments. Second, because the lamp head and battery are a non-separable unit, damage to a part of it can render the entire unit unusable, increasing operating costs. Furthermore, for extended periods of operation, operators need to carry an additional spare searchlight, increasing their workload. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this utility model aims to provide a detachable and flexibly combinable lighting device, where the lamp head and battery pack can be partially replaced and arbitrarily matched. In addition to solving the power supply problem of the lighting device, it also aims to incorporate detection functions to further support workers in mining, oil and gas extraction, or explosive environments.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A freely pluggable and combinable lighting device, comprising a head-mounted device, a cable, and a carrying device, characterized in that:

[0006] The head-mounted device includes:

[0007] Light-emitting elements, used for illumination;

[0008] The first power supply group is used to provide power support for the lighting equipment;

[0009] A first plug-in port is used to connect the head-mounted device to other components of the lighting equipment;

[0010] The carrying device includes:

[0011] The second power supply group is used to provide power support for the lighting equipment;

[0012] The second plug-in port is used to connect the carrying device to other components of the lighting equipment;

[0013] The cable includes:

[0014] The first plug-in head has a plug-in structure that is adapted to the plug-in structure of the first plug-in port;

[0015] The second plug-in head has a plug-in structure that is adapted to the plug-in structure of the second plug-in port;

[0016] When the head-mounted device is connected to the carrying device via the cable, the first power supply group and the second power supply group cooperate or selectively provide power support to the lighting device;

[0017] When the head-mounted device is not connected to the cable, the first power supply group provides power support to the lighting equipment independently.

[0018] Compared to existing technologies, this lighting device first proposes a split structure, where plug-in ports are provided on the head-mounted device and the carrying device, which are connected by cables. The head-mounted device and the carrying device can be matched and combined arbitrarily. Furthermore, the light-emitting element is equipped with a first power supply integrated inside the head-mounted device and a second power supply externally, making the lighting device suitable for various usage scenarios. For temporary or short-term work, users can easily and quickly enter the work environment simply by wearing the head-mounted device; for complex or long-term work, users can carry one or more carrying devices to ensure the headlamp's continued operation; during the interval between unplugging the cable and switching to the second power supply, the first power supply can also provide temporary lighting, facilitating user operation.

[0019] Preferably, the lighting device further includes a detection device, which is mounted on the head-mounted device.

[0020] Battery capacity limits the brightness, range, and additional functions of lighting equipment, but the dual power supply setup in this lighting system solves the battery life problem. Therefore, in addition to basic lighting functions, it is also possible to add detection devices for environmental indicators such as humidity, oxygen, and carbon monoxide.

[0021] Preferably, the detection device includes a fixed detection element, which is non-detachably connected to the head-mounted device.

[0022] For commonly used detection functions, the detection components can be integrated into the head-mounted device and protected inside the housing.

[0023] Preferably, the detection device includes a mobile detection element; the head-mounted device is provided with a detection element plug-in port, and the mobile detection element has a plug-in end adapted to the plug-in structure of the detection element plug-in port, and the mobile detection element is connected to the head-mounted device through the plug-in end.

[0024] The design of the mobile detector allows users to replace detectors with different functions according to the work scenario, and the lighting equipment can flexibly adapt to various scenarios; in addition, the installation method of the mobile detector is simple plug-and-play, which is convenient for users to operate.

[0025] Preferably, the plug-in end has the same plug-in structure as the first plug-in head; the first plug-in port is used as a probe plug-in port, and the first plug-in port is set individually.

[0026] Integrating the functionality of the probe plug-in port into a single first plug-in port firstly reduces the number of open ports on the head-mounted device, improving dust and water resistance; secondly, it simplifies the operation process, eliminating the need for users to distinguish between different ports when replacing probes or cables; and finally, it reduces the volume occupied by the plug, freeing up space that can be used to reduce the overall size of the head-mounted device or to accommodate a larger capacity first power supply unit.

[0027] Preferably, the first plug-in port is located on the side of the head-mounted device.

[0028] In existing technologies, integrated head-mounted searchlights typically connect the lamp head to the power cord at the top of the lamp head, with the power cord routed above the user's head or helmet to avoid obstructing hand movement. This device, considering the need for replacing the detection device and cable, places the first plug-in port on the side of the head-mounted unit, with the cable routing around the side of the user's head or helmet. This side-port plug-in design firstly reduces the range of hand movements during insertion and removal, allowing operators to perform the operation even while wearing heavy protective gear; secondly, it positions the head-mounted unit on the side, providing ample contact area and reducing effort; and thirdly, it preserves the cable routing's ability to avoid obstructing hand movement.

[0029] Preferably, the first plug-in port and the second plug-in port have the same plug-in structure.

[0030] The focusing point of a head-mounted searchlight is generally in the area in front of the user, which may result in a "dark spot" phenomenon. To facilitate users in temporarily changing the head-mounted device, carrying device, or cable in the work environment, both ends of the cable use the same plug-in structure, and there is no need to distinguish the direction when connecting the cable.

[0031] Preferably, the head-mounted device includes a head-mounted device display for displaying the operating status of the head-mounted device and / or the detection device.

[0032] Preferably, the carrying device includes a carrying device display for displaying the operating status of the carrying device.

[0033] Since the head-mounted device and the portable device can be replaced individually and paired arbitrarily, each device is equipped with an independent display to show its working status, making it convenient for the user to control.

[0034] This invention also proposes a pluggable detection device, which is connected to the head-mounted device via a pluggable end adapted to the pluggable structure of the first pluggable port.

[0035] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides a modular, flexible, pluggable combination lighting device and detection apparatus. The modularity of the lighting equipment is achieved through pluggable connections between the head-mounted device, carrying device, and cable, allowing users to flexibly choose the power source according to different scenarios. The mobile detection component connects to the head-mounted device via a pluggable end, allowing users to freely and easily replace different types of detection components as needed. The single first pluggable port further simplifies the usage process and reduces potential points of failure. This invention simultaneously improves the functionality and ease of use of the lighting equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art will be able to implement the present invention based on these descriptions. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention described below are generally only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Therefore, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] To balance battery life and battery weight, this lighting equipment offers a dual power supply solution and adopts a pluggable design, allowing users to choose according to their specific working environment.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 This lighting equipment includes a head-mounted device 1, a cable 2, and a carrying device 3. The head-mounted device 1 has the appearance of a lamp head with a housing. Light-emitting elements 110 such as LED beads and a first power supply group 120 such as a lithium battery are all housed inside the housing. A first plug-in port 130 is located on the surface of the housing. The carrying device 3 has the appearance of a box-shaped body. Inside the box-shaped body is a second power supply group 310 such as a lithium battery. A second plug-in end 421 port 320 is located on the top of the box-shaped body. The two ends of the cable 2 are a first plug-in head 210 and a second plug-in head 220, respectively. The first plug-in head 210 is adapted to the plug-in structure of the first plug-in port 130, and the second plug-in head 220 is adapted to the plug-in structure of the second plug-in end 421 port 320.

[0048] From the perspective of power supply mode, users can choose from the following usage methods:

[0049] 1. When the headgear 1 is used alone, the headgear 1 is fixed to the front of the user's helmet or head strap by a clip structure, and the first power supply group 120 provides power support to the light-emitting element 110.

[0050] 2. The head-mounted device 1 and the carrying device 3 are used in conjunction, and the head-mounted device 1 and the carrying device 3 need to be connected by cable 2. The head-mounted device 1 is equipped with an intelligent power management integrated circuit (IC) that can switch between two power supply modes: "second power supply group 310 supplies power independently" and "two power supply groups supply power together".

[0051] In the scenario where the head-mounted device 1 and the carrying device 3 are used together, the user may encounter situations where they need to change the cable 2 or the carrying device 3 in a dark working environment. To further facilitate user operation, the first plug-in port 130 and the second plug-in port 421 320 can be designed to have the same plug-in structure, and the two ends of the cable 2 will no longer be distinguished by direction, allowing for arbitrary plugging and unplugging.

[0052] While addressing the battery life issue, this lighting equipment further integrates a detection device 4 within the lamp head housing, providing safety assurance for users in mining, oil and gas extraction, or explosive environments.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The detection device 4 includes a fixed detector 410 and a mobile detector 420. The fixed detector 410 is built into the housing of the head-mounted device 1 and is a factory-installed component that cannot be replaced by the user. The mobile detector 420 includes an internal sensor 422 and a plug-in end 421, which needs to be used in conjunction with the detector plug-in port 140 on the head-mounted device 1. The plug-in end 421 has a plug-in structure adapted to the detector plug-in port 140. Figure 3 An embodiment of the plug-in structure is described. The plug-in end 421 is provided with a contact copper pin (female pin), and the probe plug-in port 140 is provided with a contact copper pin (male pin). After the plug-in end 421 is inserted into the probe plug-in port 140, it can be locked by the threaded housing to fix the relative position.

[0054] While adding the probe plug-in port 421 140 enriches the functions of the lighting equipment, it also increases the potential for equipment failure. This embodiment further streamlines and simplifies the design of the head-mounted device 1.

[0055] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The electrical functions of the probe plug-in terminal 421 140 are integrated into the first plug-in port 130. In this case, the plug-in terminal 421 and the first plug-in head 210 have the same plug-in structure. Only a single first plug-in port 130 is needed on the head-mounted device 1 to meet the connection requirements of the carrying device 3 and the mobile probe 420. This design reduces the number of open ports on the head-mounted device 1, improving dust and water resistance; it simplifies the operation process, eliminating the need for users to distinguish between different ports when replacing the mobile probe 420 or the cable 2; and finally, it reduces the size occupied by the plug, saving space that can be used to reduce the overall size of the head-mounted device 1 or to accommodate a larger capacity first power supply group 120.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 When the first plug-in port 130 is set up alone, its position is arranged on the side of the head-mounted device 1, with the port facing the user's left or right hand side. Figure 1The example shown illustrates the scenario where the port faces the user's left hand. In this case, the cable 2 is routed close to the helmet, extending from the side of the helmet to the back, and then connecting to the carrying device 3 on the user's waist. This side-port insertion / removal design firstly reduces the range of hand movements during insertion and removal, allowing the operator to operate independently even when wearing thick protective gear; secondly, it places the force-bearing position of the headgear on the side, ensuring sufficient force area and making the movement easier when the user stabilizes the headgear with one hand and inserts / removes accessories with the other; furthermore, it preserves the cable arrangement's ability to avoid obstructing the movement areas of the left and right hands.

[0057] Since the head-mounted device 1 and the carrying device 3 are relatively independent, this embodiment sets up displays on the two devices to report their respective working statuses.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 The carrying device 3 is equipped with a carrying device display 330, which can display information such as power, voltage, and fault number, so that users can easily judge the operating status of the second power supply group 310.

[0059] Please see Figure 2 The head-mounted device 1 is equipped with a head-mounted device 1 display and interactive operation buttons 160, and can display information such as power supply mode number, sensor 422 data, and fault number, so that users can judge the operating status of the first power supply group 120, the light-emitting element 110, and the detection device 4.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] A pluggable detection device is provided, which may optionally be equipped with sensors 422 for indicators such as temperature, humidity, oxygen, and carbon monoxide to detect relevant environmental information. The detection device also has a pluggable end 421 adapted to the pluggable structure of the pluggable port 140 or the first pluggable port 130 of the detection element. The pluggable end 431 is connected to the head-mounted device 1 and is used as an accessory of the lighting equipment in Embodiment 1.
