Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photographic accessories technology, specifically to an adjustable light-effect flash. Background Technology
[0002] A flash is a commonly used photographic auxiliary device. Its main function is to provide a momentary high-intensity light source when ambient light is insufficient, in order to compensate for lighting deficiencies and enhance the brightness and depth of the image. Currently, most mainstream flashes on the market use white light sources, and the color temperature of the output light is usually fixed at around 5600K. This color temperature is close to the natural color temperature and can meet most basic shooting needs.
[0003] During use, if it is necessary to adjust the color temperature, color, light softness, and other light effects of the flash output light, the user needs to manually attach the light effect adjustment component (such as a color filter, diffuser, etc.) to the flash output port. The light effect adjustment component filters the white light emitted by the flash, thereby changing the color temperature of the emitted light, converting it to a specific color, or the softness and hardness of the light, etc., to adapt to different shooting scene requirements.
[0004] However, as an accessory independent of the flash unit itself, the light effect adjustment component needs to be stored and carried separately. Furthermore, light effect adjustment components are typically small, and multiple components are often required to accommodate different light effect adjustment needs. Therefore, they are easily lost or misplaced during transport due to negligence, ultimately rendering the corresponding light effect adjustment function unusable. To address these shortcomings, we propose a flash unit with adjustable light effect to effectively resolve these issues. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5An adjustable light-effect flash unit includes a main body 1, which serves as the core supporting structure, providing a mounting base and support for various functional components. In this embodiment, a hot shoe interface 101 is installed at the bottom of the main body 1. This hot shoe interface 101 conforms to internationally accepted photographic equipment standards and can be directly snapped onto the hot shoe mount on the top of the camera, realizing mechanical fixation and signal linkage (such as synchronous flash triggering) between the flash unit and the camera. In addition, a button 102, a charging port 103, and a power indicator light 104 are installed on the side wall of the main body 1, allowing users to intuitively grasp the operating status of the device and operate it quickly. At the same time, the main body 1 also houses a main control circuit board, a battery, etc. The hot shoe interface 101, button 102, charging port 103, and power indicator light 104 are all electrically connected to the main control circuit board, which is powered by the battery. The main control circuit board is responsible for coordinating the operating logic of each component.
[0033] This embodiment also includes at least one light-emitting unit 2 and a light effect switching unit 3. The integrated design solves the problem that the light effect adjustment component in the prior art needs to be carried separately and is easily lost.
[0034] Specifically, the light-emitting unit 2 is mounted on the main body 1. It uses an LED light and is electrically connected to the main control circuit board, and can output standard white light with a color temperature of 5600K±200K. The light effect switching unit 3 is mounted on the main body 1 and corresponds one-to-one with the light-emitting unit 2. It is used to adjust the light effect of the light-emitting unit 2.
[0035] The light effect switching unit 3 includes at least two light effect adjustment components 301, which can enable different light effect adjustment components 301 to enter or exit the light path of the corresponding light-emitting unit 2 in order to adjust the light effect of the light-emitting unit 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, the light effect switching unit 3 further includes an annular bracket 302 disposed on the main body 1. The light-emitting unit 2 is located inside the annular bracket 302, and the light path direction of the light-emitting unit 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the annular bracket 302, that is, the light-emitting unit 2 emits light towards the annular surface of the annular bracket 302. Each light effect adjustment component 301 is distributed circumferentially along the annular bracket 302 (equally spaced on the annular surface of the annular bracket 302). The annular bracket 302 can rotate around its own axis to allow the light effect adjustment components 301 to rotate into or out of the light path. When the annular bracket 302 is rotated, different light effect adjustment components 301 can move sequentially into the light path directly in front of the light-emitting unit 2, thereby realizing rapid switching of light effects.
[0037] Specifically, two supports 105 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the main body 1, and a fixed shell 106 is detachably connected between the two supports 105 by screws. The fixed shell 106 is a hollow cylinder, and the light-emitting unit 2 is installed inside the fixed shell 106. A light-emitting port adapted to the light-emitting unit 2 is opened on the side wall of the fixed shell 106. The annular bracket 302 is movably sleeved on the fixed shell 106 and can rotate around the axis of the fixed shell 106.
[0038] To improve the switching positioning accuracy, elastic ball bearings 107 are installed on the outer wall of the fixed housing 106. The inner ring of the annular bracket 302 has several positioning grooves 4 (the same number as the light effect adjustment component 301), evenly spaced along the circumference of the annular bracket 302. When the annular bracket 302 is rotated, each time a light effect adjustment component 301 aligns with the light outlet, the elastic ball bearing 107 engages in the corresponding positioning groove 4, generating clear positioning feedback (accompanied by a "click" sound). This precisely positions and fixes the annular bracket 302, ensuring complete alignment between the light effect adjustment component 301 and the light outlet, preventing light leakage or light effect deviation due to misalignment.
[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the light effect adjustment element 301 may be made of various materials, including but not limited to:
[0040] 1. The light effect adjustment component 301 is a color filter used to adjust the color or color temperature of the light-emitting unit 2. For example, the color filter is a transparent carrier sheet with a filter material attached to its surface (using PET film as the substrate, and forming a nano-scale filter layer on the surface through vacuum evaporation process, which has the characteristics of being lightweight, portable, and resistant to repeated bending). Alternatively, the color filter can be made of colored glass (optical-grade borosilicate glass made through ion doping process, which has the significant advantages of high light transmittance and resistance to high and low temperatures), colored acrylic sheet (using PMMA sheet as the substrate, incorporating color masterbatch during injection molding, which has low production cost and is easy to process and form), or filter paper (using polyester film as the base material, and coating with a polyurethane coating containing organic dyes to achieve spectral modulation, suitable for low-cost and rapid replacement in temporary scenarios).
[0041] 2. The light effect adjustment component 301 is a diffuser, used to change the softness and hardness characteristics of the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 2 (such as converting hard light into soft light). For example, the diffuser may be a frosted transparent sheet (using optical glass, acrylic sheet or PET film as the substrate, forming a micron-level concave-convex structure through single-sided or double-sided frosting treatment, and using diffuse reflection to soften the light) or a mesh transparent sheet (using nylon yarn, metal mesh or transparent resin mesh structure, scattering light through the Fresnel diffraction effect of the yarn edge, combining soft light and a certain light shaping function).
[0042] Operating Procedure: After the user secures the flash unit to the camera's hot shoe mount via the bottom hot shoe interface 101, they press button 102 to start the device. At this time, the main control circuit board drives the light-emitting unit 2 to output standard 5600K white light by default. When the shooting scene requires adjustment of the lighting effect, the user manually rotates the ring bracket 302. At this time, the elastic ball bearing 107 on the outer wall of the fixed shell 106 cooperates with the positioning groove 4 on the inner ring of the ring bracket 302 to generate intermittent positioning feedback (accompanied by a "click" sound), so that the target light effect adjustment component 301 is precisely moved to the front of the light outlet of the light-emitting unit 2. The light is filtered by the light effect adjustment component 301 and emitted from the light outlet, realizing precise switching of the lighting effect.
[0043] Compared to traditional independent light effect adjustment components that need to be carried and removed separately, this structure integrates the light effect adjustment component 301 into the ring bracket 302 and forms a whole with the main body 1, fundamentally solving the problem of easy loss of accessories. At the same time, light effect adjustment can be completed without interrupting the shooting process, greatly improving the efficiency and ease of operation of light effect adjustment during shooting.
[0044] Example 2: This example also proposes an adjustable light effect flash. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the light effect switching unit 3 includes a disc-shaped bracket disposed on the main body 1, and the light-emitting unit 2 is located inside the disc-shaped bracket. The light path direction of the light-emitting unit 2 is parallel to the axis of the disc-shaped bracket (the axis of the disc-shaped bracket is located next to the light path of the light-emitting unit 2). Each light effect adjustment component 301 is distributed circumferentially along the disc-shaped bracket (equally spaced on the disc surface of the disc-shaped bracket). The disc-shaped bracket can rotate around its own axis to allow the light effect adjustment component 301 to rotate into or out of the light path.
[0045] When the disc-shaped support 303 is rotated, different light effect adjustment components 301 can be moved sequentially into the light path of the light-emitting unit 2 to achieve light effect switching.
[0046] Example 3: This example also proposes an adjustable light effect flash. The difference between this example and Examples 1 and 2 is that the light effect switching unit 3 includes a first linear bracket disposed on the main body 1. The first linear bracket is located next to the light path of the light-emitting unit 2, and the light path direction of the light-emitting unit 3 is parallel to the length direction of the first linear bracket. Each light effect adjustment component 301 is arranged sequentially along the length direction of the first linear bracket, and each light effect adjustment component 301 can be translated into or out of the light path in a direction perpendicular to the length of the first linear bracket. For example, a linear slide rail corresponding to each light effect adjustment component 301 is provided on the first linear bracket, and each light effect adjustment component 301 can move along the corresponding linear slide rail, thereby translating into or out of the light path.
[0047] When the light effect needs to be adjusted, the user presses and pushes any light effect adjustment piece 301 to move it horizontally until the target light effect adjustment piece 301 is aligned with the light-emitting unit 2. At this time, the light is emitted after being filtered by the light effect adjustment piece 301, and the light effect can be adjusted.
[0048] Example 4: This example also proposes an adjustable light effect flash. The difference between this example and Examples 1, 2, and 3 is that the light effect switching unit 3 includes a second linear bracket disposed on the main body 1. The second linear bracket is located beside the light path of the light-emitting unit 2, and the light path direction of the light-emitting unit 3 is parallel to the length direction of the second linear bracket. Each light effect adjustment component 301 is arranged sequentially along the length direction of the second linear bracket, and each light effect adjustment component 301 can rotate around an axis parallel to the length direction of the second linear bracket to enter or exit the light path. For example, a rotating shaft is fixed on the second linear bracket, and the axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the light path. Each light effect adjustment component 301 can rotate along the rotating shaft, thereby rotating to enter or exit the light path.
[0049] When the light effect needs to be adjusted, the user manually rotates the edge of the target light effect adjustment component 301 to bring it into the light path. The light is then filtered and emitted, thus switching the light effect.
