Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship when the product is in normal use.
[0022] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
[0023] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a flashlight with a fixing clip and magnetic attraction function, including a shell 1, a fixing clip 2 that can be elastically deformed on the shell 1, and a mounting block 3 for fixing the fixing clip 2 on the shell 1. One end of the fixing clip 2 abuts between the shell 1 and the mounting block 3. A mounting groove 301 is opened on the side of the mounting block 3 away from the shell 1, and a magnet 4 is placed in the mounting groove 301. In use, it can be fixed to an external object by clamping it with the fixing clip 2; it can also be magnetically fixed to an external ferromagnetic object by the magnet 4. This utility model flashlight with fixing clip and magnetic attraction function has a simple structure and low production cost. With the fixing clip 2 and magnet 4, it can be clamped to the edge of a pocket / backpack by the fixing clip 2, which is convenient to carry and quick to use; it can also be magnetically fixed to the surface of an iron object by the magnet 4, which has a wide range of applications; it is compact and easy to carry and store.
[0024] Specifically, the fixing clip 2 utilizes its own elasticity after deformation to provide clamping force, thereby clamping an external object that can be held. The object can be the edge of a pocket or backpack, or other parts suitable for clamping with the fixing clip 2. The magnet can be magnetically fixed to the surface of a ferromagnetic object (such as an iron object), such as an iron vehicle hood, iron pipe, iron toolbox, iron frame, iron tent frame, etc., for lighting purposes, eliminating the need for handheld use and making it convenient to use. The flashlight of this utility model can be fixed by clamping or magnetic attraction as needed. Of course, both of the above fixing methods can be used for lighting or storage. For example, it can be clamped to the edge of a pocket for lighting purposes, eliminating the need for handheld use; it can also be fixed to the edge of a pocket in an off state for storage; or it can be magnetically attracted to an iron frame for lighting, or magnetically attracted to an iron frame in an off state for storage, making it flexible in use.
[0025] See Figures 1-4 The fixing clip 2 is sheet-shaped and includes an integrally formed fixing plate 21 and an elastically deformable clamping plate 22. The fixing plate 21 abuts against the housing 1 and the mounting block 3 for fixation. The clamping plate 22 is used to clamp external objects for fixation. When clamping, the external part, such as the edge of a pocket, is clamped between the clamping plate 22 and the housing 1 for fixation, making clamping convenient. In this embodiment, the fixing clip 2 is made of metal. A connecting plate 23 connects the fixing plate 21 and the clamping plate 22. The plate 23 is inclined, and the mounting block 3 is provided with an abutment part 302 for abutting against the connecting plate 23. The abutment part 302 is arc-shaped, and the end of the clamping plate 22 away from the connecting plate 23 is provided with a bend part 221. By abutting against and obliquely pressing the connecting plate 23 through the abutment part 302, the connecting plate 23 drives the clamping plate 22 to press against the housing 1, that is, the bend part 221 presses against the housing 1, so that when clamping, the external clampable object can be clamped between the bend part 221 and the housing 1, and the clamping is stable.
[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clamping plate 22 is provided with a through groove 222. The through groove 222 makes it easier for the clamping plate 22 to undergo elastic deformation, avoiding excessive rigidity and difficulty in bending. Especially for some thicker parts, the clamping plate 22 needs to undergo greater elastic deformation on the side away from the shell 1 to achieve the clamping function. In addition, the through groove 222 can also save materials and reduce weight. In this embodiment, the through groove 222 is an oblong through groove. The mounting block 3 is connected to the shell 1 by bolts 5. The mounting block 3 and the shell 1 are fixed by bolts 5, which makes the assembly simple and the production cost low.
[0027] See Figures 2-4The housing 1 has a threaded hole 101 corresponding to the bolt 5, the fixing clamp 2 has a first through hole 201 corresponding to the bolt 5, and the mounting block 3 has a second through hole 303 corresponding to the bolt 5. During assembly, one end of the bolt 5 passes through the second through hole 303 and the first through hole 201 in sequence, and then the thread is screwed into the threaded hole 101 for fixing. The bolt 5 has a bolt head 501, and the mounting block 3 has a countersunk groove 304 for accommodating the bolt head 501. The mounting groove 301 has a groove bottom surface 3011, and the countersunk groove 304 is formed on the groove bottom surface 3011. This allows the bolt 5 to function as an inner... The recessed installation design prevents the bolt 5 from protruding from the bottom surface 3011 of the groove and interfering with the magnet 4, resulting in a compact structure. During assembly, the mounting block 3 and the fixing clip 2 are fixed to one side of the housing 1 by the bolt 5. After the bolt is tightened, the magnet 4 is then inserted into the mounting groove 301 for fixation, making assembly convenient. The mounting block 3 serves to fix both the fixing clip 2 and the magnet 4, achieving the fixation of the magnet 4 with a single component. The ingenious structural design reduces the number of parts and lowers production and assembly costs. The compact structure and small size make it easy to carry and store.
[0028] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Bolt 5 includes a first bolt 51 and a second bolt 52. The mounting block 3 is provided with a relief groove 306 for avoiding the installation of the first bolt 51. The relief groove 306 is arc-shaped and communicates with the mounting groove 301. The relief groove 306 is provided to avoid interference between the bolt 5 and the mounting block 3 during installation, ensuring that the bolt can be installed smoothly. In addition, after assembly, the magnet 4 can be easily removed from the mounting groove 301 through the relief groove 306. For example, the magnet 4 can be pried out from the mounting groove 301 through the relief groove 306 with a long stick or other tools. After prying it out, the first bolt 51 and the second bolt 52 can be removed so that the mounting block 3 and the fixing clip 2 can be replaced or repaired if they are damaged. For example, if the fixing clip 2 undergoes irreversible bending deformation after long-term use, resulting in a weak clamping force, the fixing clip 2 can be disassembled and replaced. There are two symmetrical first bolts 51, and the second bolt 52 is distributed at the three vertices of a triangle with the two first bolts 51, so that the structure is installed stably.
[0029] See Figures 3-5 The magnet 4 is tightly installed in the mounting groove 301. The edge of the mounting groove 301 is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer 307 to facilitate the installation of the magnet 4 into the mounting groove 301 and reduce the assembly difficulty. The magnet 4 can also be fixed by means of hot melt adhesive. If it is fixed by hot melt adhesive, when it needs to be disassembled, the part where the magnet 4 is installed is heated by tools such as a hot air gun to decompose the hot melt adhesive and lose its adhesive force, so that the magnet 4 can be removed.
[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2A first light-emitting part 102 is provided on the side of the housing 1 away from the fixing clamp 2. A first LED (not shown) is provided on the housing 1 at the position of the first light-emitting part 102. The first light-emitting part 102 emits light in the direction away from the fixing clamp 2. A second light-emitting part 103 is provided on the housing 1 perpendicular to the light-emitting direction of the first light-emitting part 102. A second LED (not shown) is provided on the housing 1 at the position of the second light-emitting part 103. A switch button 104 is provided on the housing 1 to control the first light-emitting part 102 to emit light alone or the second light-emitting part to emit light. The first light-emitting part 103 emits light alone, or the first light-emitting part 102 and the second light-emitting part 103 emit light simultaneously, or the first light-emitting part 102 and the second light-emitting part 103 turn off simultaneously. The corresponding light-emitting part can be lit according to the needs. With the help of the fixing clip and magnet, it is more flexible to use, meets different lighting needs, and provides a better user experience. The housing 1 is also equipped with a battery for powering the first and second light beads. The first light-emitting part 102 emits light in the Y-axis direction, and the second light-emitting part 103 emits light in the Z-axis direction. The lighting mode can be switched by pressing the switch button 104 multiple times.
[0031] This flashlight with a fixing clip and magnetic attraction function has a simple structure and low production cost. It is equipped with a fixing clip 2 and a magnet 4. The fixing clip 2 can be used to hold it in a pocket / backpack edge, etc., for easy carrying and quick access. It can also be magnetically fixed to the surface of an iron object by the magnet 4, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is compact and easy to carry and store. The connecting piece is pressed against and obliquely squeezed by the abutting part, so that the connecting piece drives the clamping piece to press against the shell, that is, the corner part presses against the shell, so that the external object that can be clamped can be clamped between the corner part and the shell, and the clamping is stable. The clamping piece is provided with a through groove, which makes the clamping piece more likely to undergo elastic deformation, avoiding excessive rigidity and difficulty in bending. The magnet is tightly installed in the mounting groove, and the edge of the mounting groove is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer, which makes it easy to insert the magnet into the mounting groove and reduces the assembly difficulty.
