[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3This embodiment provides a novel luminous rope structure including a control box and a luminous rope 100. The control box is equipped with a power supply and control components, and a through hole is provided on one side of the control box. The luminous cord 100 includes a light strip 130 and a braided strip 110. The braided strip 110 is woven from cord and has a hollow cavity inside. The light strip 130 is housed in the hollow cavity and is covered by the braided strip 110. One end of the luminous cord 100 extends into the control box through the through hole. The power supply is used to power the light strip 130. The control component is used to control the light strip 130 to turn on or off. The light strip 130 includes a first conductor 131, a second conductor 132, and a plurality of light-emitting elements 133. The insulating outer sheath of the first conductor 131 and the insulating outer sheath of the second conductor 132 are connected by an insulating waterproof tape 134. The insulating waterproof tape 134 extends along the length of the first conductor 131. The plurality of light-emitting elements 133 are all disposed on the insulating waterproof tape 134. The light-emitting elements 133 are electrically connected to the first conductor 131 and the second conductor 132, respectively. Among them, the light emitted by multiple light-emitting elements 133 is emitted outward through the outer peripheral gaps of the braided tape 110.

[0036] As can be seen, the novel luminous rope structure of this utility model includes a control box and a luminous rope 100. The control box is equipped with a power supply and control components. The power supply can be powered by a solar panel, a rechargeable battery, or a dry cell battery, which is convenient for users to operate. The luminous rope 100 includes a light strip 130 and a braided belt 110. The braided belt 110 has a hollow cavity, and the light strip 130 is housed in the hollow cavity. The power supply is used to power the light strip 130. The control components are used to control the light strip 130 to turn on or off. The light strip 130 includes a first wire 131, a second wire 132, and a plurality of light-emitting elements 133. The light emitted by the light-emitting elements 133 shines outward through the outer periphery of the braided belt 110. The luminous rope 100, as the main body of the rope, can be used as a tow rope for tents. The luminous rope 100 can light up, which can remind users of the presence of rope at night and prevent users from tripping over the rope. When the luminous rope 100 is used on the guy lines of the tarp and the hiking backpack rope, it can also serve as a warning. It is convenient for users to use and solves the technical problem of existing ropes not being able to light up, which makes them easy to overlook and inconvenient to use at night.

[0037] The insulating outer sheath of the first conductor 131 and the insulating outer sheath of the second conductor 132 are connected in parallel by an insulating waterproof tape 134, and multiple light-emitting elements 133 are set on the insulating waterproof tape 134. The structure is compact, stable and reliable, so as to avoid the electrical connection between the light-emitting elements 133 and the conductors being easily torn off. This makes the installation of the light strip 130 in the braided tape 110 more stable and less prone to loosening, thereby improving the practicality and reliability of the light-emitting rope. Specifically, the insulating waterproof tape 134 is an integral structure injection molded from plastic material. The light-emitting elements 133 can be LED lamp beads, and the braided tape 110 can be made of fiber thread or rope commonly used in the prior art.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the luminous cord 100 also includes a reinforcing band 120, which extends along the length of the light strip 130. The reinforcing band 120 covers the outside of the light strip 130 and is located within the hollow cavity of the braided band 110. The reinforcing band 120 covers the outer periphery of the light strip 130, reducing damage to the light strip 130 caused by external pulling forces during use, and improving the reliability and practicality of the product.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the control box includes a base box 200, a cover 300, and a gasket 400. Control components are mounted on the base box 200 and the cover 300. A battery compartment 220 is located inside the base box 200. One side of the control component is electrically connected to the light-emitting cord 100, and the other side is electrically connected to the battery compartment 220. The cover 300 rotates to close on top of the base box 200. The gasket 400 is located between the base box 200 and the cover 300, and the power supply is housed within the battery compartment 220. The power supply is preferably a common dry cell battery, which saves costs and allows for convenient battery replacement when the device's power is depleted. The gasket 400 between the cover 300 and the base box 200 provides waterproofing, making the product unaffected by environmental conditions. It can be used on land, such as as a tent tow rope or a tarp guy line, as well as on surfboards and paddleboards. It can also be used as a hiking backpack rope, jump rope, and pet leash, broadening its application range.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the control assembly includes a circuit box 210, a control button 211, and a control key 310. The circuit box 210 is located inside the bottom box 200, the control button 211 is located on the top of the circuit box 210, and the control key 310 is located on the box cover 300. When the box cover 300 is closed onto the bottom box 200, the control button 211 abuts against the control key 310. The control key 310 is made of elastic material for easy user operation. The control button 211 is located on the top of the circuit box 210 inside the bottom box 200 to prevent external liquids from flowing into the circuit box 210 through the control button 211, thereby preventing damage to the circuitry inside the circuit box 210 and further ensuring the safety and reliability of the product.

[0041] Furthermore, the control button 310 controls the illumination and extinguishing of the luminous cord 100, offering two settings: a first setting (constantly lit) and a second setting (flashing). Pressing the control button 310 once activates the first setting, and pressing it twice activates the second setting. These multiple settings enhance user convenience and improve the overall user experience.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, a concave groove 201 is formed along the circumference of the top side wall of the base box 200, and a convex protrusion 410 is provided on the gasket 400. The gasket 400 is embedded in the concave groove through the convex protrusion 410. The gasket 400 is embedded in the concave groove 201 on the top side wall of the base box 200, which makes the connection structure between the gasket 400 and the base stable, reduces the risk of the gasket 400 easily falling off and being lost during use, and further improves the reliability of the product.

[0043] Specifically, the gasket 400 is made of rubber or silicone. The gasket 400 is made of rubber or silicone, which has a lower manufacturing cost. Furthermore, rubber and silicone are elastic. When placed between the base box 200 and the lid 300, the pressure between the base box 200 and the lid 300 causes the gasket 400 to deform, resulting in a better seal and waterproofing when the lid 300 is closed on top of the base box 200.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover 300 is provided with a first locking part 320, and the bottom box 200 is provided with a second locking part, so that the cover 300 is closed and locked onto the bottom box 200 by the cooperation of the first locking part 320 and the second locking part. This arrangement ensures that the control box will not open automatically due to non-human factors, guaranteeing the stability of the control box when closed and further demonstrating the reliability of the product.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the first locking part 320 includes a first protrusion 321 and a first locking block 322. The first protrusion 321 extends outward from the front sidewall of the lid 300, and the first locking block 322 is fastened to the first protrusion 321. The first locking block 322 is provided with a latching protrusion 323. The second locking part includes a second protrusion 230, which extends outward from the front sidewall of the bottom box 200. When the lid 300 is closed onto the bottom box 200, the latching protrusion 323 engages with the bottom of the second protrusion 230, thereby locking the lid 300 onto the bottom box 200. This locking structure is simple and easy to implement, convenient for industrial processing and production, and also convenient for user operation.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the locking protrusion 323 has a first rib 324, and the bottom of the second protrusion 230 has a second rib 231. When the locking protrusion 323 is engaged with the bottom of the second protrusion 230, the first rib 324 passes over the second rib 231. This design makes the locking structure more stable, further improving the reliability and practicality of the product.

[0047] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0048] The control box is equipped with a power supply and control components for user convenience. The luminous rope 100 includes a light strip 130 and a braided strip 110. The braided strip 110 has a hollow cavity, within which the light strip 130 is housed. The power supply provides power to the light strip 130, and the control components control the light strip 130 to turn on or off. The light strip 130 includes a first conductor 131, a second conductor 132, and multiple light-emitting elements 133. The light emitted by the light-emitting elements 133 shines outward through the gaps around the outer periphery of the braided strip 110. The luminous rope 100, as the main body of the rope, can be used as a tent tow rope. The luminous rope 100 illuminates, alerting users to the presence of a rope at night and preventing tripping. When used as a guy line on a tarp or as a hiking backpack rope, the luminous rope 100 also serves as a warning. It is user-friendly and solves the technical problem in existing technologies where ropes are not luminous, making them easily overlooked and inconvenient to use at night. A gasket 400 is placed between the cover 300 and the base box 200 to make the control box waterproof, so that the use of this product is not affected by the environment. It can be used on land, such as on tent tow ropes, tarps, etc., and can also be used on surfboards and paddleboards, making its application range wider.
