[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, combined with Figure 2 The present invention relates to a reading lamp, comprising a housing 1 and a lamp 2.

[0031] The box 1 can still be embedded in the carriage using an embedded fixed installation method. Several slots 101 are provided on the end face of the box 1 facing the inside of the carriage, and a socket 11 is provided on the bottom of the slot 101. In this embodiment, the slot 101 is square, but it can also be cylindrical or other shapes.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lamp 2 is a box-shaped flashlight or portable light source device that is adapted to the slot 101. The lamp 2 is inserted into the slot 101. A light source 22 is provided on the end face of the lamp 2 facing outward from the slot 101, and a plug 21 is provided on the end face of the lamp 2 facing inward from the slot 101. The mating mechanism between the plug 21 and the socket 11 can be a commercially available spring self-locking buckle mechanism.

[0033] In the first state, the lamp 2 is inserted into the slot 101, and the plug 21 is inserted into the socket 11 by pressing the lamp 2 and then springs into place. In the second state, the plug 21 is ejected from the socket 11 by pressing the lamp 2 again, and the lamp 2 is removed from the slot 101. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the lamp 2 is installed in the slot 101 as a fixed light source; when the user needs to temporarily access it or use it outside the vehicle, the lamp 2 can be removed from the slot 101, expanding the usage scenarios of the reading light and improving the user experience.

[0034] exist Figure 3 In one embodiment shown, a cover plate 3 is also included. One edge of the cover plate 3 is hinged to one edge of the box body 1 facing the interior of the carriage. The side of the cover plate 3 away from the hinged connection rotates around the hinged connection. The cover plate 3 is closed on the outer end face of the box body 1 by flipping. In the first state, when the lamp 2 is inserted into the slot 101, the cover plate 3 flips and closes on the end face of the box body 1 facing the interior of the carriage. In the second state, when the cover plate 3 flips and moves away from the box body 1, the lamp 2 is removed from the slot 101. The function of the cover plate 3 when closed is, on the one hand, to block the lamp 2 and prevent it from falling out of the slot 101, and on the other hand, to apply a sticker similar to the pattern of the inner wall of the carriage roof to the outer wall of the cover plate 3. Thus, when the cover plate 3 is closed on the outer end face of the box body 1, the cover plate 3 can be visually integrated with the inner wall of the carriage roof, improving the visual aesthetics of the carriage interior.

[0035] exist Figure 1 In one embodiment shown, a socket 11 is also provided on the side of the box body 1 away from the hinge connection part, and a plug 21 is also provided on the side of the cover plate 3 away from the hinge connection part. The cover plate 3 is elastically self-locked to the box body 1 by inserting the plug 21 into the socket 11, so that the cover plate 3 can be elastically self-locked and popped out to unlock by pressing.

[0036] exist Figure 3 In one embodiment shown, the cover plate 3 has several windows 301. When the lamp 2 is inserted into the slot 101, the cover plate 3 covers the end face of the box 1 facing the interior of the carriage. The light source lamp 22 is exposed in the window 301. This ensures that when the cover plate 3 covers the lamp 2 in the slot 101, it will not block the light source lamp 22 of the lamp 2, thus ensuring that the lamp 2 can provide normal interior lighting.

[0037] exist Figure 5 In one embodiment shown, a connector 23 is provided on the end face of the lamp 2 away from the light source 22. The lamp 2 is charged through the connector 23, so that the lamp 2 can be charged and used after being removed from the slot 101. A rechargeable battery may be installed inside the lamp 2.

[0038] exist Figure 1In one embodiment shown, the housing 1 is equipped with a battery pack and a control component. The control component mainly includes electrical components such as a control chip and a control circuit. The slot 101 is also equipped with a communication connector 12. The communication connector 12 is connected to the plug connector 23 through a communication wire, so that the lamp 2 is electrically connected to the battery pack and the control component. This allows the control component to monitor the device status of the lamp 2 in the slot 101 in real time, such as the remaining power, and also allows the lamp 2 to be charged in the slot 101.

[0039] exist Figure 1 In one embodiment shown, an indicator light 13 is provided on the end face of the housing 1 facing the interior of the carriage. The indicator light 13 is electrically connected to the control component and is used to indicate the remaining power of the lamp 2 inserted into the slot 101. The indicator light 13 can be an LED light. In addition, a control button can also be provided on the housing 1, for example, to adjust the brightness of the lamp 2.

[0040] exist Figure 4 In one embodiment shown, two slots 101 are provided in parallel on the box 1 to increase the number of lamps 2 loaded in the box 1. After a lamp 2 is removed from the box 1, one lamp 2 can still be left as a light source for the interior of the carriage.

[0041] exist Figure 2 In one embodiment shown, a buckle structure 14 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1. The box body 1 is detachably embedded in the wall of the carriage through the buckle structure 14, which makes it easier to remove the box body 1 from the carriage for maintenance and reinstall it in the carriage.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, this is a utility model of a car, using a reading light of any of the above embodiments. The box body 1 is set on the top wall of the car body, or in other positions inside the car body, or it can be set on the back of the vehicle seat.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
