Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cruise flashlight equipment technology, and specifically discloses an aluminum-air battery-powered smart cruise flashlight. Background Technology

[0002] Flashlights have the following problems in daily use:

[0003] (1) When using the navigation function continuously, the battery life of traditional lithium battery-powered smart flashlights is significantly shortened due to the continuous power consumption of the positioning module, making it difficult to meet the needs of long-term outdoor operations.

[0004] (2) Existing aluminum-air battery systems have low integration with electronic devices and cannot effectively match the intermittent high-power output characteristics of smart devices;

[0005] (3) Ordinary path recording devices lack the ability to manage energy autonomously, and are prone to losing trajectory data due to energy interruption in complex terrain;

[0006] (4) Traditional equipment cannot maintain the continuous operation of the Beidou positioning module in low-power mode, resulting in discontinuous path recording. By developing an intelligent energy management system based on aluminum-air batteries, while ensuring high-density energy output, intelligent power consumption allocation of lighting, positioning, and data storage modules can be achieved, enabling the equipment to maintain continuous path recording capability for more than 72 hours even in extreme environments.

[0007] Therefore, the inventors have provided an aluminum-air battery-powered smart cruise flashlight to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
