Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to an ornament with a night light function and its driving structure, and more particularly to an ornament with a night light function. Background Technology
[0002] Ornaments, as a common type of decoration, are widely used in homes, offices, and other places. They not only beautify the environment but also reflect the user's personality and taste. In recent years, as people's pursuit of quality of life has continued to improve, traditional single-function ornaments can no longer fully meet market demands. At the same time, nightlights, as an important lighting tool in daily life, are gradually shifting in design from functionality to decoration, striving to add artistic and personalized elements while meeting basic lighting needs.
[0003] In existing technologies, in order to achieve the dual functions of decoration and lighting for ornaments, light strips are usually installed directly inside the ornaments, and the lighting effect is achieved by the light strips emitting light.
[0004] However, in the existing technology, when multiple light strips are set inside the ornament to achieve uniform lighting, the light strips themselves will cast shadows on the ornament when the light beads are turned off during the day, thus affecting the overall aesthetics of the ornament. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To reduce the shadows cast on the ornament by the LED strip during the day, this application provides an ornament with a night light function.
[0006] The decorative item with a night light function provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An ornament with a night light function includes a power supply base and a light-transmitting shell fixedly installed on the top side of the power supply base. Multiple light strips are arranged inside the light-transmitting shell. The middle part of the light strips is connected to the inner top wall of the light-transmitting shell. Sliders are fixedly installed at both ends of the light strips. A sliding groove is opened on the top side of the power supply base for the sliders to slide. A drive mechanism is installed on the power supply base to drive the sliders to slide.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple LED strips are installed inside the light-transmitting housing. The two ends of the LED strips engage with sliding grooves on the top side of the power supply base via sliders, allowing the LED strips to slide within the housing. A drive mechanism effectively controls the movement of the sliders, thereby adjusting the position of the LED strips. This design allows the ornament to emit light at night, providing a night light function, while during the day the LED strips can be retracted to a position that does not affect the appearance, reducing shadows cast by the LEDs and improving the ornament's aesthetics.
[0009] Optionally, the driving mechanism includes a first airbag, a second airbag, a rotating rod, and a spring. A receiving groove is provided on the top side of the power supply base. The rotating rod is rotatably inserted into the power supply base, with a portion of the rotating rod located inside the receiving groove. The middle of each sliding groove communicates with the receiving groove. The first airbag is located inside the receiving groove. Multiple second airbags are provided, each corresponding to a slider. One end of the first airbag is fixedly connected to the shaft of the rotating rod, and the other end of the first airbag is fixedly connected to one end of the second airbag. The other end of the second airbag is fixedly connected to the slider. The first and second airbags are interconnected. The spring is fixedly installed on the side of the slider away from the second airbag and on the inner wall of the sliding groove. The spring is used to drive the slider to move towards the first airbag.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive mechanism, through the cooperation of the first airbag, the second airbag, and the spring, enables the slider to slide within the groove, thereby adjusting the position of the light strip and preventing the LED beads from casting shadows that affect the aesthetics of the ornament when they are off during the day. The spring ensures that the slider can return to its original position when no external force is applied, maintaining the stability of the light strip.
[0011] Optionally, a pressure rod is provided inside the receiving groove, the end of the pressure rod is rotatably inserted into the inner wall of the receiving groove, and elastic sleeves are fixedly installed at both ends of the pressure rod, with the pressure rod located on one side of the rotating rod.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure rod positioned inside the receiving groove can effectively compress the first airbag. When the rotating rod retracts the first airbag, the pressure rod smoothly discharges the air inside the first airbag to the second airbag. This design ensures efficient air transfer, thereby driving the slider to slide more smoothly within the groove and improving the response speed and stability of the entire drive mechanism.
[0013] Optionally, a rotating plate is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a rotating plate is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod, so that the user can drive the rotating rod to rotate by manually rotating the rotating plate.
[0015] Optionally, a plug rod is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating plate near the power supply base, and the power supply base has a slot for inserting the plug rod.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the rotating plate drives the rotating rod to rotate, the plug can be inserted into the slot on the power supply base by pressing the rotating plate, thereby limiting and fixing the rotating plate, ensuring that the rotating rod remains stable, reducing the risk of the rotating rod rotating unexpectedly due to external force, which would affect the normal operation of the light strip.
[0017] Optionally, a first conductive sheet is installed on the bottom wall of the slide groove, and a second conductive sheet is fixedly installed at both ends of the light strip, with the second conductive sheet located on the bottom side of the slider.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a first conductive sheet is installed on the bottom wall of the slide groove, and a second conductive sheet is fixedly installed at both ends of the light strip and located on the bottom side of the slider, which can realize the electrical connection between the light strip and the power supply base.
[0019] Optionally, limit strips are fixedly installed on both inner sidewalls of the slide, and the sidewall of the slider is provided with a limit groove for the limit strips to enter.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the limiting strip and the limiting groove can effectively prevent the slider from shifting or disengaging in the groove, ensuring that the slider slides stably along the predetermined track, thereby improving the reliability of the light strip position adjustment.
[0021] Optionally, a plurality of light-transmitting plates are embedded on one side of the light-transmitting housing, and the plurality of light-transmitting plates are spaced apart along the height direction, wherein the light transmittance of the light-transmitting plates is greater than that of the light-transmitting housing.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple light-transmitting plates are embedded on one side of the light-transmitting housing, and the light transmittance of the light-transmitting plates is greater than that of the light-transmitting housing, so that the light emitted by the light strip can be transmitted more concentratedly from the light-transmitting plate position, thereby improving the brightness and uniformity of the light when used at night.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. By setting multiple light strips inside the light-transmitting shell and using sliders and grooves to adjust the position of the light strips, the light strips can be retracted during the day, reducing the shadows cast on the ornament and thus improving its aesthetics.
[0025] 2. The design of the drive mechanism allows the light strip to be adjusted in position as needed, and unfolds to provide uniform illumination when used at night, thus meeting the requirements of the night light function. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.
[0035] This application discloses an ornament with a night light function.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The decorative item with a night light function includes a power supply base 1 and a light-transmitting housing 2 fixedly installed on the top side of the power supply base 1. Multiple light strips 3 are installed inside the light-transmitting housing 2, with the middle of each light strip 3 connected to the inner top wall of the light-transmitting housing 2. Slider blocks 4 are fixedly installed at both ends of each light strip 3. A sliding groove 5 is provided on the top side of the power supply base 1 for the sliders 4 to slide, and a drive mechanism 6 is installed on the power supply base 1.
[0037] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The drive mechanism 6 includes a first airbag 61, a second airbag 62, a rotating rod 63, and a spring 64. A receiving groove 7 is provided on the top side of the power supply base 1. The rotating rod 63 is rotatably inserted into the side wall of the power supply base 1, with a portion of the rotating rod 63 located inside the receiving groove 7. The middle part of each sliding groove 5 communicates with the top opening of the receiving groove 7, and the first airbag 61 is located inside the receiving groove 7.
[0038] One end of the first airbag 61 is fixedly connected to the body of the rotating rod 63, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the second airbag 62. The other end of the second airbag 62 is fixedly connected to the slider 4. The first airbag 61 and the second airbag 62 are interconnected. The spring 64 is fixedly installed on the side of the slider 4 away from the second airbag 62 and on the inner wall of the groove 5. The spring 64 is used to drive the slider 4 to move towards the first airbag 61.
[0039] Specifically, spring 64 can be a helical spring or a leaf spring, made of stainless steel or a high-elasticity alloy material, to ensure stable elastic performance during repeated compression and release. The first airbag 61 and the second airbag 62 can be made of rubber or silicone, providing good airtightness and flexibility. The slider 4 can be made of metal or high-strength plastic, with a polished surface to reduce frictional resistance during sliding.
[0040] The rotating rod 63 can be a solid metal rod or a hollow metal tube, with different diameters and wall thicknesses selected according to actual needs. A limiting structure can be provided at the end of the rotating rod 63 to prevent damage caused by excessive rotation. The preload of the spring 64 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the slider 4 can slide smoothly when the first airbag 61 is inflated.
[0041] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 A rotating plate 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod 63. A plug rod 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating plate 8 near the power supply base 1. The power supply base 1 has a slot 10 for the plug rod 9 to be inserted. The rotating plate 8 can be made of metal or high-strength plastic material, and the surface is treated with anti-slip material for easy operation. The plug rod 9 can be made of metal or plastic material, and the size of the slot 10 matches the plug rod 9 to ensure a firm and reliable connection.
[0042] The rotating plate 8 drives the rotating rod 63 to rotate, which in turn winds up and down the first airbag 61. When the rotating rod 63 winds up the first airbag 61, the air inside the first airbag 61 flows to the second airbag 62. The second airbag 62 straightens, pushing the slider 4 away from the first airbag 61, thus bringing the light strip 3 closer to the inner wall of the light-transmitting housing 2, thereby increasing the brightness of the ornament. When the rotating rod 63 unwinds the first airbag 61, the air inside the second airbag 62 flows to the first airbag 61. The spring 64 pushes the slider 4 towards the first airbag 61, thus moving the light strip 3 away from the inner wall of the light-transmitting housing 2, thereby reducing the shadow left on the light-transmitting housing 2 after the light strip 3 is turned off. After rotating the rotating rod 63, pressing the rotating plate 8 allows the insertion rod 9 to be inserted into the slot 10, which acts as a limit.
[0043] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 The receiving groove 7 contains a pressure rod 11, the end of which is rotatably inserted into the inner wall of the receiving groove 7. Elastic sleeves 12 are fixedly installed at both ends of the pressure rod 11, which is located on one side of the rotating rod 63. The pressure rod 11 can be made of metal or high-strength plastic, and the elastic sleeves 12 at both ends can be made of rubber or silicone, providing good cushioning and shock absorption performance. The thickness of the elastic sleeves 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs to meet different cushioning requirements.
[0044] When the rotating rod 63 retracts the first airbag 61, the first airbag 61 passes between the pressure rod 11 and the rotating rod 63. The first airbag 61 is squeezed by the pressure rod 11, which facilitates the air inside the first airbag 61 to be discharged to the second airbag 62.
[0045] Reference Figure 3 A first conductive sheet 13 is installed on the bottom wall of the slide 5, and a second conductive sheet 14 is fixedly installed at both ends of the light strip 3. The second conductive sheet 14 is located on the bottom side of the slider 4. The first conductive sheet 13 and the second conductive sheet 14 can be made of conductive materials such as copper or aluminum, and have good conductivity. The first conductive sheet 13 is connected to the power supply circuit of the power supply base 1, and the second conductive sheet 14 is connected to the circuit of the light strip 3. When the slider 4 moves the light strip 3, the second conductive sheet 14 contacts the first conductive sheet 13, realizing the conduction of the circuit.
[0046] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 Limiting strips 15 are fixedly installed on both inner sidewalls of the slide groove 5, and limiting grooves 16 are provided on the sidewalls of the slider 4 to allow the limiting strips 15 to enter. The limiting strips 15 can be made of metal or plastic and can be circular, square, or other geometric shapes. The dimensions of the limiting grooves 16 match the limiting strips 15 to ensure that the slider 4 does not deviate when sliding within the slide groove 5. A lubricating coating can be applied between the limiting strips 15 and the limiting grooves 16 to reduce frictional resistance.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 A plurality of light-transmitting plates 17 are embedded on one side of the light-transmitting housing 2. The plurality of light-transmitting plates 17 are spaced apart along the height direction, and the light transmittance of the light-transmitting plates 17 is greater than that of the light-transmitting housing 2.
[0048] The implementation principle of the ornament with night light function in this application embodiment is as follows: the driving mechanism 6 drives the slider 4 to slide within the slide groove 5, allowing the light strip 3 to move within the light-transmitting housing 2. When illumination is needed, the first airbag 61 inflates, pushing the second airbag 62, which in turn drives the slider 4 to slide along the slide groove 5, and the light strip 3 moves towards the inner wall of the light-transmitting housing 2, achieving a uniform lighting effect. When illumination is not needed, the spring 64 resets, causing the slider 4 to slide in the opposite direction, moving the light strip 3 away from the inner wall of the light-transmitting housing 2, reducing the shadows cast by the LED beads on the light-transmitting housing 2, thereby maintaining the overall aesthetics of the ornament.
[0049] By setting the first conductive sheet 13 and the second conductive sheet 14 within the slide groove 5, the light strip 3 can automatically complete the circuit connection and disconnection during the extension and retraction process, eliminating the need for an additional switching device. By setting the limiting strip 15 and the limiting groove 16 within the slide groove 5, the movement path of the slider 4 can be effectively restricted, preventing the slider 4 from deviating or getting stuck during sliding. This design not only solves the problem of the LED beads casting shadows during the day but also improves the practicality and decorative appeal of the ornament.
[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
