Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile lighting, and in particular to rotation positioning protection components and mobile lighting devices. Background Technology
[0002] The flashlight has a charging interface structure (350) for charging the internal battery. However, the charging interface structure (350) is usually exposed and does not meet the requirements for waterproofing. Therefore, a hidden charging interface structure (350) is adopted, which is set inside the flashlight.
[0003] To address the waterproofing issue, traditional flashlights use a cover to conceal the charging port structure (350). However, this makes the cover prone to falling off and being lost. Furthermore, the concealed charging port structure (350) is easily loosened and can be easily pulled out of the flashlight. Utility Model Content

[0005] One embodiment of this application is a rotary positioning protection component, which includes a rotary cover, an anti-slip rubber ring, and a housing structure;
[0006] The housing structure has a first thread, a first circular groove, an opening, and a mounting cavity.

[0008] The first circular groove includes a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove, and one of the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, together with the second circular groove, accommodates the anti-slip rubber ring;
[0009] When the rotating cover is spirally rotated relative to the housing structure, the anti-slip rubber ring switches positions between the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove. When the anti-slip rubber ring is in the first limiting groove, the rotating cover exposes the opening.

[0010] The aforementioned rotation positioning protection component, through the cooperation of the rotating cover, anti-slip rubber ring, and housing structure, achieves rotation positioning and provides two preset positions for the rotating cover as feedback for rotation. On the one hand, it helps to determine the position of the rotating cover, so that the rotating cover accurately exposes or covers the opening; on the other hand, it helps to prevent the rotating cover from being pulled out excessively and detached from the housing structure, thereby avoiding the possibility of the rotating cover falling off and being lost; furthermore, the anti-slip rubber ring also provides a waterproof effect, increasing the applicability of the rotation positioning protection component.

[0051] This application discloses a rotation positioning protection component and a mobile lighting device, which includes some or all of the technical features of the following embodiments; that is, the rotation positioning protection component and the mobile lighting device include some or all of the following structures. In one embodiment of this application, a rotating positioning protection component includes a rotating cover, an anti-slip rubber ring, and a housing structure. The housing structure has a first thread, a first circular groove, an opening, and a mounting cavity. The mounting cavity is configured to accommodate a charging interface structure, and the opening communicates with the mounting cavity and is configured to expose the charging interface structure. The rotating cover has a second circular groove and a second thread, the first thread and the second thread being adapted to screw the housing structure to the rotating cover. The first circular groove includes a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove, and one of the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, together with the second circular groove, accommodates the anti-slip rubber ring. When the rotating cover is spirally rotated relative to the housing structure, the anti-slip rubber ring switches positions between the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove. When the anti-slip rubber ring is in the first limiting groove, the rotating cover exposes the opening; when the anti-slip rubber ring is in the second limiting groove, the rotating cover covers the opening. The aforementioned rotation positioning protection component, through the cooperation of a rotating cover, an anti-slip rubber ring, and a housing structure, achieves rotation positioning. It provides two preset positions for the rotating cover as feedback for rotation. On one hand, this helps determine the position of the rotating cover, ensuring it accurately exposes or covers the opening; on the other hand, it helps prevent the rotating cover from being excessively pulled out and detaching from the housing structure, thus avoiding the possibility of loss due to the rotating cover falling off; furthermore, the anti-slip rubber ring also provides a waterproof effect, increasing the applicability of the rotation positioning protection component. The following section will discuss... Figures 1 to 11 The rotation positioning protection component and the movable lighting device are described in detail below.
[0052] In some embodiments, a mobile lighting device 400, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an illumination component 100, a button component 200, and a rotation positioning protection component 300 as described in any embodiment; the illumination component 100 is connected to the button component 200, and the illumination component 100 and the button component 200 are respectively disposed on the rotation positioning protection component 300. As an example, in conjunction with... Figure 1 and Figure 2The lighting component 100 and the button component 200 are respectively disposed on the housing structure 360 of the rotation positioning protection component 300. As an example, the button component 200 is used to realize light source switching and power display. It is understood that, due to the use of the rotation positioning protection component 300 described in any embodiment, the mobile lighting device 400 also has the beneficial technical effects of the rotation positioning protection component 300, which will not be elaborated upon here.
[0053] In some embodiments, a rotation positioning protection component 300, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a rotating cover 330, an anti-slip rubber ring 340, and a housing structure 360; combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing structure 360 is provided with a first thread 361, a first circular groove 362, an opening 363, and a mounting cavity 364. The mounting cavity 364 is configured to accommodate a charging interface structure 350, and the opening 363 communicates with the mounting cavity 364 and is configured to expose the charging interface structure 350. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The rotating cover 330 is provided with a second circular groove 331 and a second thread 332. The first thread 361 is adapted to the second thread 332 so that the housing structure 360 is screwed to the rotating cover 330. The first circular groove 362 includes a first limiting groove 365 and a second limiting groove 366. One of the first limiting groove 365 and the second limiting groove 366, together with the second circular groove 331, accommodates the anti-slip rubber ring 340. When the rotating cover 330 is spirally rotated relative to the housing structure 360, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 changes position between the first limiting groove 365 and the second limiting groove 366. When the anti-slip rubber ring 340 is in the first limiting groove 365, the rotating cover 330 exposes the opening 363. When the anti-slip rubber ring 340 is in the second limiting groove 366, the rotating cover 330 covers the opening 363. This structural design, through the cooperation of the rotating cover 330, the anti-slip rubber ring 340, and the housing structure 360, achieves rotational positioning, providing two preset positions for the rotating cover 330 as feedback for rotation. On the one hand, it helps to determine the position of the rotating cover 330, so that the rotating cover 330 accurately exposes or covers the opening 363; on the other hand, it helps to prevent the rotating cover 330 from being pulled out excessively and detaching from the housing structure 360, thereby avoiding the possibility of the rotating cover 330 falling off and being lost; furthermore, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 also provides a waterproof effect, increasing the applicability of the rotating positioning protection component 300.
[0054] In each embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the housing structure 360 is provided with a first thread 361, a first circular groove 362, an opening 363, and a mounting cavity 364, combined with Figure 4 The mounting cavity 364 is configured to accommodate the charging interface structure 350, and the opening 363 communicates with the mounting cavity 364 and is configured to expose the charging interface structure 350. In some embodiments, the rotation positioning protection assembly 300 further includes the charging interface structure 350 disposed in the mounting cavity 364. In some embodiments, the charging interface structure 350 is a Type-C interface, thus realizing a rotation-positioned, hidden Type-C charging interface. In other embodiments, the charging interface structure 350 is a Micro-USB interface or a DC plug, where a DC plug is a power interface used to transmit direct current. This structural design, on the one hand, adopts a Type-C interface embodiment, supporting reversible blind insertion, compatible with most current smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets, which is beneficial to improving user convenience. On the other hand, by opening and closing the rotating cover 330, the charging interface structure 350 can be hidden or exposed, effectively preventing dust and liquid from entering the charging interface structure 350, thereby extending the service life of the charging interface structure 350.
[0055] In each embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the rotating cover 330 is provided with a second circular groove 331 and a second thread 332. The first thread 361 and the second thread 332 are adapted to each other so that the housing structure 360 is screwed onto the rotating cover 330. As an example, such as Figure 11As shown, the rotating cover 330 has a cover body 333 and a second circular groove 331 and a second thread 332 are provided on the inner wall of the cover body 333. Exemplarily, the second thread 332 is closer to the opening 363 or the charging interface structure 350 than the second circular groove 331. In an embodiment with a pressure cap 313, the second circular groove 331 is closer to the pressure cap 313 than the second thread 332, so that the second circular groove 331 is closer to the mounting opening of the mounting cavity 364 for mounting the pressure cap 313 than the second thread 332. That is, from the direction in which the rotating cover 330 is separated from the housing structure 360, the position of the rotating cover 330 is restricted by the second circular groove 331 in conjunction with the anti-slip rubber ring 340, so as to prevent the rotating cover 330 from being separated from the housing structure 360. This structural design serves several purposes. First, when the second thread 332 is closer to the opening 363 or charging interface structure 350 than the second circular groove 331, the opening and closing stroke of the rotating cover 330 can be quickly positioned via the thread, ensuring that the opening 363 is accurately exposed or closed. Second, in embodiments with a pressure cap 313, the second circular groove 331 is closer to the pressure cap 313 and the mounting port, allowing the anti-slip rubber ring 340 to intervene and limit the rotation of the cover 330 when it approaches its limit position, preventing the cover from detaching from the housing structure 360 due to excessive twisting and thus preventing the cover from being lost. Third, the second thread 332 secures the rotating cover 330 to the housing structure 360 via a screw connection, while the second circular groove 331, in conjunction with the anti-slip rubber ring 340, forms a physical limit. This dual structure ensures connection stability and provides rotational feedback through the limiting points, improving the user experience. On the other hand, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 is embedded between the second circular groove 331 and the limiting groove 365 / 366 of the housing structure 360. Regardless of whether the rotating cover 330 is in the open or closed state, it can form a seal by the rubber ring, effectively preventing liquid from seeping into the mounting cavity 364 and protecting the charging interface structure 350.
[0056] In each embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first circular groove 362 includes a first limiting groove 365 and a second limiting groove 366, and one of the first limiting groove 365 and the second limiting groove 366, together with the second circular groove 331, accommodates the anti-slip rubber ring 340. As an example, in one state, the first limiting groove 365 and the second circular groove 331 jointly accommodate the anti-slip rubber ring 340. In this state, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 is partially located in the first limiting groove 365 and partially located in the second circular groove 331. For the annular anti-slip rubber ring 340, the first limiting groove 365 and the second circular groove 331 together form a receiving area having at least the annular space. Similarly, in another state, the second limiting groove 366 and the second circular groove 331 jointly accommodate the anti-slip rubber ring 340. In this state, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 is partially located in the second limiting groove 366 and partially located in the second circular groove 331. Furthermore, when the rotating cover 330 is spirally rotated relative to the housing structure 360, that is, when the rotating cover 330 is rotated relative to the housing structure 360, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 changes position between the first limiting groove 365 and the second limiting groove 366. As an example, and not a limitation, when the rotating cover 330 is spirally rotated clockwise downwards relative to the housing structure 360, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 moves from the first limiting groove 365 to the second limiting groove 366; when the rotating cover 330 is spirally rotated counterclockwise upwards relative to the housing structure 360, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 moves from the second limiting groove 366 to the first limiting groove 365. Figure 4 and Figure 7 With the anti-slip rubber ring 340 in the state of the first limiting groove 365, the rotating cover 330 exposes the opening 363; combined with Figure 6 and Figure 8When the anti-slip rubber ring 340 is in the second limiting groove 366, the rotating cover 330 blocks the opening 363. This structural design, through the positional change of the anti-slip rubber ring 340 between the two limiting grooves, namely the first limiting groove 365 and the second limiting groove 366, provides the rotating cover 330 with two clearly preset states: the opening of the corresponding first limiting groove 365 is exposed, and the opening of the corresponding second limiting groove 366 is blocked. During operation, the tactile feedback of the anti-slip rubber ring 340 engaging with the corresponding limiting groove allows the user to intuitively judge the position of the rotating cover and avoids misoperation. On the other hand, the movement of the anti-slip rubber ring 340 between the two limiting grooves restricts the rotation range of the rotating cover 330. When the anti-slip rubber ring 340 reaches either limiting groove, the rotating cover cannot continue to be twisted and detached from the housing structure 360, preventing the rotating cover from falling off and being lost due to excessive rotation. Furthermore, regardless of whether the rotating cover is open or closed, the anti-slip rubber ring 340 is compressed and fixed within the groove, forming a sealed structure.
[0057] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotation positioning protection assembly 300 further includes a pressure cap structure 310, which covers the housing structure 360 to close the mounting cavity 364. In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 8 At the first limiting groove 365, the pressure cap structure 310 is in a state where it cooperates with the rotating cover 330 and the housing structure 360 to abut against the anti-slip rubber ring 340. This structural design, on the one hand, allows the pressure cap structure 310, rotating cover 330, and housing structure 360 to jointly compress the anti-slip rubber ring 340, forming multiple sealing barriers that effectively prevent liquids and dust from entering the mounting cavity 364, strengthening the protection of the charging interface structure 350. On the other hand, the abutting action of the pressure cap structure 310 provides additional support for the anti-slip rubber ring 340, ensuring stronger positional stability of the rotating cover 330 when it is in the exposed open state, preventing accidental displacement of the rotating cover due to external force. On the other hand, the pressure cap structure 310, the housing structure 360, and the rotating cover 330 form a collaborative limiting system. When the anti-slip rubber ring 340 is inserted into the first limiting groove 365, the pressure cap structure 310 further restricts the rotation range of the rotating cover 330 through physical contact. With the dual limiting of the thread and the groove, the overall structural reliability of the component is improved.
[0058] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the pressure cap structure 310 includes a first waterproof ring 311, a second waterproof ring 312, a pressure cap 313, a tail cap pressure ring 314, and a tail cap 315; the pressure cap 313 covers the housing structure 360 and the tail cap pressure ring 314, and the tail cap pressure ring 314 presses against the tail cap 315; the housing structure 360 is sleeved outside the tail cap pressure ring 314, and the first waterproof ring 311 abuts between the housing structure 360 and the tail cap pressure ring 314; the second waterproof ring 312 is sleeved outside the tail cap 315 and abuts between the tail cap pressure ring 314 and the tail cap 315. As an example, the assembly end 367 of the housing structure 360 is fitted over the tail cap pressure ring 314, and the first waterproof ring 311 abuts between the assembly end 367 and the tail cap pressure ring 314; the pressure cap 313 covers the assembly end 367 and the tail cap pressure ring 314. This structural design achieves multiple waterproof seals, including the first waterproof ring 311 being positioned between the housing structure 360 and the tail cap pressure ring 314 to prevent liquid from seeping into the mounting cavity 364 from the connection between the housing and the pressure cap structure, thus enhancing the waterproof performance of the interface area; while the second waterproof ring 312 is fitted over the tail cap 315 and abuts against the tail cap pressure ring 314, sealing the connection gap between the tail cap 315 and the tail cap pressure ring 314, preventing liquid from entering from the tail of the component, forming a double waterproof barrier. On the other hand, the pressure cap 313 covers the housing structure 360 and the tail cap pressure ring 314, physically pressing and securing the components together, reducing the risk of shaking or loosening between components, and improving the overall structural stability. On the other hand, the housing structure 360 is fitted over the tail cap retaining ring 314, forming a nested assembly. Combined with the fixing effect of the retaining ring, this enhances the axial and radial impact resistance of the component, adapting to complex usage scenarios. Furthermore, the retaining ring structure 310 adopts a modular design, facilitating the later inspection and replacement of the charging interface structure 350 or the two waterproof rings, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
[0059] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the pressure cap 313 is fitted onto the housing structure 360 and the tail cap pressure ring 314 with an interference fit, and the pressure cap 313 has an embedded portion located between the housing structure 360 and the tail cap pressure ring 314. This structural design, on the one hand, ensures a tight fit between the pressure cap 313, the housing structure 360, and the tail cap pressure ring 314, forming a stable connection without the need for additional fasteners, reducing the risk of component loosening and improving structural reliability. On the other hand, the embedded portion of the pressure cap 313 fills the gap between the housing structure 360 and the tail cap pressure ring 314, further compressing and sealing with the first waterproof ring 311, blocking the liquid penetration path, and enhancing the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the mounting cavity 364. Furthermore, the structural design of the embedded portion provides a clear installation guide for the pressure cap 313, ensuring accurate coverage of the housing structure 360 and the tail cap pressure ring 314, while limiting the axial movement range of the pressure cap 313, assisting the anti-slip rubber ring 340 in stable positioning within the corresponding limiting groove. On the other hand, the physical properties of interference fit enable rapid assembly without the need for complex tools or additional processes, which helps reduce production difficulty and costs, making it suitable for mass production.
[0060] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the tail cap retaining ring 314 includes a retaining ring body 316 and at least two support pillars 317. The retaining ring body 316 is connected to each of the support pillars 317. A clearance opening 368 is formed between adjacent support pillars 317, communicating with the opening 363, to expose the charging interface structure 350. The end of each support pillar 317 away from the retaining ring body 316 is provided with a chamfered surface 318 and a cross-section 319. The chamfered surface 318 is used to guide the assembly of the tail cap retaining ring 314, and the cross-section 319 is used to hold the charging interface structure 350. As an example, the retaining ring body 316 and the support pillars 317 are integrally formed. This structural design ensures that the clearance opening 368 between adjacent support pillars 317 communicates with the opening 363, ensuring that the charging interface structure 350 is accurately exposed when the rotating cover 330 is opened, facilitating insertion and removal operations, while preventing the interface from being blocked by the retaining ring body 316. On the other hand, the beveled surface 318 at the end of the support column 317 provides a guide for the insertion of the tail cap retaining ring 314 into the housing structure 360, reducing assembly difficulty and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the cross-section 319 presses against the charging interface structure 350, firmly fixing the interface within the mounting cavity 364, preventing the interface from shaking or loosening due to external forces, and ensuring electrical connection stability. Moreover, the separate design of the support column 317 and the retaining ring body 316 reduces material usage and component weight, while the support column structure retains sufficient strength to support the retaining cap 313 and tail cap 315, ensuring overall rigidity. Additionally, the open design of the recessed opening 368 can accommodate different specifications of the charging interface structure 350. By adjusting the spacing or number of support columns, it flexibly adapts to various interface size requirements, improving component versatility.
[0061] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotation positioning protection assembly 300 further includes a resilient button structure 320 disposed in the mounting cavity 364, the resilient button structure 320 being electrically connected to the charging interface structure 350; the pressure cover structure 310 or the tail cover 315 of the pressure cover structure 310 resiliently abuts against the resilient button structure 320, the pressure cover structure 310 or the tail cover 315 being configured to press the resilient button structure 320 under pressure and to reset under non-pressure conditions. As an example, the charging interface structure 350 is used to electrically connect the battery assembly 370 through the resilient button structure 320, the resilient button structure 320 conducting the circuit between the charging interface structure 350 and the battery assembly 370 in a first pressing state, and disconnecting the circuit between the charging interface structure 350 and the battery assembly 370 in a second pressing state. This structural design offers several advantages. First, the elastic button structure 320, when pressed, can connect or disconnect the circuit between the charging interface structure 350 and the battery component 370, supporting manual control of charging start / stop, avoiding long-term power loss of the interface, and improving electrical safety. Second, the pressure cover structure 310 or tail cover 315 provides clear tactile feedback when the elastic button is pressed, allowing users to intuitively judge the circuit status, such as whether it is connected or disconnected, by the pressure and travel, thereby reducing the risk of misoperation. Third, the elastic button structure 320 has a built-in mounting cavity 364, which, through the physical shielding of the pressure cover structure 310 and the sealing of the waterproof ring, prevents the button from being directly exposed, preventing dust and liquid intrusion from affecting button functionality and extending the component's lifespan. Fourth, the rotation positioning protection component 300 does not require additional openings or external buttons; its function is achieved through the linkage between the pressure cover structure 310 and the internal button, which helps maintain the integrity of the device casing and enhances the simplicity and integrated design of the appearance.
[0062] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the elastic button structure 320 includes a spring 321 and a button 322. The button 322 is electrically connected to the charging interface structure 350. The pressure cover structure 310 or the tail cover 315 of the pressure cover structure 310 elastically abuts against the button 322 through the spring 321. The pressure cover structure 310 or the tail cover 315 is configured to press the button 322 under pressure. As an example, the button 322 conducts the circuit between the charging interface structure 350 and the battery assembly 370 in the first pressed state and disconnects the circuit between the charging interface structure 350 and the battery assembly 370 in the second pressed state. With this structural design, on the one hand, the spring 321 provides elastic support, so that the tail cover 315 or the pressure cover structure 310 can automatically reset after pressing the button 322, ensuring stable switching between the on and off states of the circuit and avoiding button jamming or circuit abnormalities caused by continuous external force. On the other hand, the elastic coefficient of spring 321 can be adjusted to control the required pressing force and stroke. By designing different compression amounts to correspond to the first pressing state (e.g., on) and the second pressing state (e.g., off), precise control of dual-state switching is achieved, thereby improving operational reliability. Furthermore, button 322 is directly electrically connected to the charging interface structure 350, achieving circuit switching through physical pressing, reducing contact resistance and signal loss, and ensuring the stability and safety of power transmission. Moreover, the modular design of spring 321 and button 322 occupies little space and can be flexibly embedded in the mounting cavity 364, working in conjunction with the cover structure 310 to adapt to the internal layout requirements of miniaturized electronic devices. Furthermore, button 322 is hidden within the mounting cavity 364, with the cover structure 310 and a waterproof ring forming an outer protective layer, preventing external impacts or liquids from directly affecting button 322, thus extending the component's lifespan.
[0063] The following will continue to combine Figures 1 to 11 The example illustrates the rotation positioning protection component 300 and the mobile lighting device 400 employing the rotation positioning protection component 300. In some embodiments, the housing structure 360 of the rotation positioning protection component 300 is provided with an opening 363 that matches the charging interface structure 350, allowing access to an external charging terminal, such as a Type-C connector, after the charging interface structure 350 is installed inside the housing structure 360.
[0064] The outer surface of the housing structure 360 is provided with a first thread 361 and two first circular grooves 362. The rotating cover 330 has a second thread 332 that matches the first thread 361 of the housing structure 360 and a second circular groove 331 inside. The second circular groove 331 has a certain depth to form a fitting gap with the first circular groove 362 of the housing structure 360 to accommodate the anti-slip rubber ring 340. The anti-slip rubber ring 340 is installed on the second circular groove 331 in the rotating cover 330. In actual operation, when force is applied to the rotating cover 330, the rotating cover 330 can drive the anti-slip rubber ring 340 to slide when it rotates along the first thread 361. This allows the anti-slip rubber ring 340 to slide from the first limiting groove 365 in the first circular groove 362 of the housing structure 360 to the second limiting groove 366 to close the opening 363, or to slide from the second limiting groove 366 to the first limiting groove 365 to expose the opening 363 for use with the charging interface structure 350. This design allows the rotating cover 330 to slide out normally while increasing friction to prevent it from sliding out of the housing structure 360 and falling off. The two limiting grooves of the first circular groove 362 work together to position the cover, allowing the operator to know the extent to which the rotating cover 330 has rotated during the rotation process. This also increases rotational feedback and provides a waterproof effect, preventing water from flowing into the charging interface structure 350 and affecting the internal circuitry.
[0065] Button 322 contacts the charging interface structure 350. The tail cover 315 can also be used as a button. After the tail cover 315 is pressed, it returns to its original position via spring 321 once the external force is released. The tail cover 315 has an outer circle that exceeds the size of the central circle, and is held in place by the tail cover retaining ring 314. Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the tail cap retaining ring 314 is provided with three support pillars 317. The lower end of each support pillar 317 has a beveled surface 318 and a cross-section 319. The beveled surface 318 facilitates insertion and installation, while the cross-section 319 helps to press against the charging interface structure 350. The tail cap retaining ring 314 passes through the outer periphery of the button 322 to hold it in place, and the lower cross-section 319 presses against the charging interface structure 350. The tail cap 315 is internally fixed to the tail cap retaining ring 314. A second waterproof ring 312 is installed on the tail cap 315 for waterproofing, and a first waterproof ring 311 is installed around the tail cap retaining ring 314 for waterproofing as well. Finally, the retaining cap 313 is installed. In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the above structural components, a rotatable, positioning, waterproof, hidden Type-C charging interface and a tail switch button with multi-level waterproofing are achieved.
