Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diving equipment technology, specifically to a diving mask with LED lights. Background Technology

[0002] Diving masks are essential equipment for underwater visibility during diving activities. Currently, there are two main types of diving masks on the market: traditional diving masks and newer diving masks. Traditional diving masks have a simple structure but lack underwater lighting. When diving in deep water, external lighting equipment is required, which is inconvenient for diving operations. Newer diving masks have built-in lighting, eliminating the need for external lighting equipment and providing some convenience for diving operations. However, the lens units of these newer diving masks are often glued to the external frame, making disassembly extremely difficult. If the lens is damaged or the LED light strip malfunctions, it is difficult to replace the damaged parts, and a new diving mask must be purchased.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a diving mask that is easy to maintain and has an LED light. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a diving mask with an LED light to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a diving mask with LED lights, specifically including a silicone frame and a lens unit. The lens unit includes a protective lens. The front and rear edges of the protective lens are respectively provided with a light-transmitting fixing frame and a light-blocking fixing frame. An LED light strip is installed on the edge of the protective lens close to the light-transmitting fixing frame by a U-shaped buckle, so that the LED light strip and the protective lens can be detachably assembled, which facilitates the assembly of the LED light strip and the protective lens, as well as the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the LED light strip and the protective lens.

[0007] Furthermore, the lens unit also includes a locking frame, which is located outside the light-transmitting fixing frame. The locking frame and the silicone lens frame are fixed by a detachable snap-fit. The light-transmitting fixing frame, the protective lens, and the light-blocking fixing frame are fixed inside the silicone lens frame by the assembly and fixing between the locking frame and the silicone lens frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the light-transmitting fixing frame and the light-blocking fixing frame are tightly fastened to the edge of the protective lens to form a stable U-shaped edging structure. In order to prevent water from entering the gap between the light-transmitting fixing frame and the light-blocking fixing frame and the protective lens, which could cause a short circuit, silicone gaskets are placed at the joints where the light-transmitting fixing frame and the light-blocking fixing frame are fastened to each other and at the joints where they are attached to the surface of the protective lens to achieve a waterproof sealing effect.

[0009] Furthermore, to prevent fogging of the inner surface of the protective lens due to temperature differences during underwater diving, which would affect the diver's vision, an ITO conductive heating film is applied to the side of the protective lens near the anti-glare frame. A flexible circuit electrically connected to the ITO conductive heating film and LED lights is set at the edge of the ITO conductive heating film. The flexible circuit integrates a miniature temperature control sensor chip to control the ITO conductive heating film to heat up and defog. The miniature temperature control sensor chip measures the temperature of the protective lens and automatically controls the ITO conductive heating film to heat up according to the temperature change, achieving an automated temperature-sensing defogging effect, thereby providing divers with good visibility conditions. It should be further noted that the ITO conductive heating film and the temperature control sensor chip or module are conventional technologies in the field of automated glass defogging and defrosting technology. Their functions, principles, and circuit designs are well-known technologies in this field, and therefore will not be elaborated upon in this article.

[0010] Furthermore, the LED light strip and the anti-light fixing frame are designed to be front and back corresponding. The anti-light fixing frame is designed to be opaque to reduce the stimulation and interference of the light emitted by the LED light strip on the eyes, which helps to protect the eyes, improve visual comfort, and avoid problems such as visual fatigue or temporary blindness caused by strong light.

[0011] Furthermore, a miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector electrically connected to the flexible circuit is provided on one side of the light-proof fixing frame.

[0012] Furthermore, to prevent the locking frame from blocking light, the entire locking frame is made of rigid, highly transparent plastic.

[0013] Furthermore, the silicone frame specifically includes a waterproof face shield and a front frame. The front end of the waterproof face shield is integrally formed with an assembly slot for assembling and connecting with the front frame, and the assembly slot is designed to be outwardly folded at the front end of the waterproof face shield. The inner side of the front frame, near the waterproof face shield, is integrally formed with an assembly groove for assembling and combining with the assembly slot. The waterproof face shield and the front frame are detachably snap-fitted together through the cooperation of the assembly slot and the assembly groove. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the lens unit assembly, the front frame and the front end of the waterproof face shield are made of rigid plastic as the main structure, and a layer of soft silicone with a thickness of 0.5-1 mm is attached to the surface of the main structure through vulcanization treatment.

[0014] Furthermore, to facilitate detachable assembly and fixation between the locking frame and the silicone frame, buckles are integrally formed at equal intervals around the outer edge of the locking frame for engaging with the silicone frame. A groove is also integrally formed on the inner wall of the front cover frame to engage with the buckles on the edge of the locking frame. During the assembly of the lens unit onto the silicone frame, the light-transmitting fixing frame and the light-blocking fixing frame, along with the inner fixed protective lens, ITO conductive heating film, flexible circuit, and LED light strip, are placed inside the front cover frame. The light-blocking fixing frame is then fitted against the outer side of the mounting groove at the front of the waterproof face shield. Finally, the locking frame and the front cover frame work together to firmly press the light-transmitting fixing frame, the light-blocking fixing frame, and the protective lens against the front of the waterproof face shield. This provides fixation while simultaneously using clamping pressure to seal the contact gap between the light-blocking fixing frame and the waterproof face shield, thus achieving a waterproof effect.

[0015] Furthermore, one side of the front cover frame is provided with a wiring adapter hole for accommodating a miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector, and a silicone waterproof ring is provided in the gap between the wiring adapter hole and the miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector to prevent water leakage at the gap between the wiring adapter hole and the miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector.

[0016] Furthermore, to facilitate the wearing of the diving mask, hanging holes are integrally formed on both sides of the front cover frame, and lanyard buckles are snapped into the two hanging holes. An adjustable cable tie connects the two cable tie. A power source is fixed in the middle of the adjustable cable tie on the outer side. The power source is a portable waterproof battery pack specifically designed for underwater use. The power source is also equipped with a power switch for controlling the power supply and a waterproof charging port for charging. This allows divers to control the circuit's on / off state via the power switch, enabling supplemental lighting and defrosting. A silicone plug is installed on the waterproof charging port to prevent water from entering during diving. To supply power to the flexible circuit for LED light strip supplemental lighting and temperature-sensing defogging, a wire is connected to the power supply end of the power source. The end of the wire is equipped with a waterproof quick-connect male connector that is compatible with a miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector.

[0017] The advantages of this utility model over the prior art are as follows:

[0018] This invention utilizes the structural design of the lens unit to achieve a detachable assembly effect between the entire lens unit and the silicone frame. Furthermore, the components within the lens unit also employ a detachable assembly design. If any part of the lens unit is damaged, the user can easily replace or repair the damaged part.

[0019] In addition, this utility model has a built-in LED light strip for supplemental lighting, eliminating the need for external light sources during diving, freeing the diver's hands and providing convenience for diving operations. At the same time, the diving mask also has a temperature-sensing defogging function, which can ensure good visibility for divers when working in deep water, providing convenience for underwater operations or sports.

[0032] Example

[0033] For the common new diving masks with supplemental lighting functions currently on the market, the lens unit 2 is mostly assembled with the external frame using adhesive bonding, which makes disassembly extremely difficult. Furthermore, if the lens is damaged or the LED light strip malfunctions, it is difficult to replace the affected parts. We propose a diving mask that facilitates later maintenance and includes an LED light, as detailed below:

[0034] like Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the diving mask with LED light provided in this embodiment includes a silicone frame 1 and a lens unit 2. The lens unit 2 includes a protective lens 201. The front and rear edges of the protective lens 201 are respectively provided with a light-transmitting fixing frame 204 and a light-blocking fixing frame 205. An LED light strip 202 is installed on the edge of the protective lens 201 close to the light-transmitting fixing frame 204 by a U-shaped buckle 203, so that the LED light strip 202 and the protective lens 201 can be detachably assembled, which facilitates the assembly of the LED light strip 202 and the protective lens 201 and the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the LED light strip 202 and the protective lens 201.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lens unit 2 also includes a locking frame 206, which is located outside the light-transmitting fixing frame 204. The locking frame 206 and the silicone lens frame 1 are fixed by a detachable snap-fit. The light-transmitting fixing frame 204, the protective lens 201 and the light-blocking fixing frame 205 are fixed inside the silicone lens frame 1 by the assembly and fixing between the locking frame 206 and the silicone lens frame 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting fixing frame 204 and the light-blocking fixing frame 205 are tightly fastened to the edge of the protective lens 201 to form a stable U-shaped edging structure. In order to prevent water from entering the gap between the light-transmitting fixing frame 204 and the light-blocking fixing frame 205 and the protective lens 201, which may cause a short circuit, silicone gaskets are placed at the joints where the light-transmitting fixing frame 204 and the light-blocking fixing frame 205 are fastened to each other and at the joints where they are attached to the surface of the protective lens 201 to achieve a waterproof sealing effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, to prevent fogging of the inner mirror surface due to temperature differences during underwater diving, which would affect the diver's vision, an ITO conductive heating film 208 is applied to the side of the protective lens 201 near the anti-glare frame 205. A flexible circuit 209 electrically connected to the ITO conductive heating film 208 and the LED light strip 202 is provided at the edge of the ITO conductive heating film 208. The flexible circuit 209 integrates a micro temperature control sensor chip for controlling the ITO conductive heating film 208 to heat up and defog. The micro temperature control sensor chip measures the temperature of the protective lens 201 and automatically controls the ITO conductive heating film 208 to heat up according to the temperature change, achieving an automated temperature-sensing defogging effect, thereby providing good visibility conditions for the diver. It should be further noted that the ITO conductive heating film 208 and the temperature control sensor chip or module are conventional technologies in the field of automated glass defogging and defrosting technology. Their functions, principles, and circuit designs are well-known technologies in this field, and therefore will not be elaborated upon in this text.

[0038] In this embodiment, the LED light strip 202 and the anti-light fixing frame 205 are positioned in a front-to-back correspondence. The anti-light fixing frame 205 is designed to be opaque to reduce the stimulation and interference of the light emitted by the LED light strip 202 on the eyes, which helps to protect the eyes, improve visual comfort, and avoid problems such as visual fatigue or temporary blindness caused by strong light.

[0039] A miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector electrically connected to the flexible circuit 209 is provided on one side of the light-proof fixing frame 205.

[0040] In this embodiment, to prevent the locking frame 206 from blocking light, the locking frame 206 is made of rigid, highly transparent plastic.

[0041] In this embodiment, the silicone lens frame 1 specifically includes a waterproof face shield 101 and a front lens frame 103. The front end of the waterproof face shield 101 is integrally formed with an assembly slot 102 for assembling and connecting with the front lens frame 103. The assembly slot 102 is outwardly designed at the front end of the waterproof face shield 101. The inner side of the front lens frame 103, near the waterproof face shield 101, is integrally formed with an assembly groove 104 for assembling and combining with the assembly slot 102. The waterproof face shield 101 and the front lens frame 103 are detachably snap-fitted together and fixed through the cooperation of the assembly slot 102 and the assembly groove 104. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the lens unit 2 during assembly, the front lens frame 103 and the front end of the waterproof face shield 101 are made of hard plastic as the main structure, and a soft silicone layer with a thickness of 0.5-1 mm is coated on the surface of the main structure through vulcanization treatment.

[0042] In this embodiment, to facilitate detachable assembly and fixation between the locking frame 206 and the silicone frame 1, buckles 207 are integrally formed at equal intervals around the outer edge of the locking frame 206 for engaging with the silicone frame 1. A groove 106 is also integrally formed on the inner wall of the front cover frame 103 to engage with the buckles 207 on the edge of the locking frame 206. During the assembly of the lens unit 2 onto the silicone frame 1, the light-transmitting fixing frame 204 and the light-blocking fixing frame 205, along with the inner fixed protective lens 201 and the ITO conductive lens, are fastened together. The heating film 208, flexible circuit 209, and LED light strip 202 are placed inside the front cover frame 103, and the anti-light fixing frame 205 is attached to the outer side of the mounting groove 102 at the front end of the waterproof face mask 101. Finally, the locking frame 206 cooperates with the front cover frame 103 to press the light-transmitting fixing frame 204, the anti-light fixing frame 205, and the protective lens 201 tightly onto the front end of the waterproof face mask 101. While fixing, the clamping pressure makes the contact gap between the anti-light fixing frame 205 and the waterproof face mask 101 tightly sealed, thereby achieving a waterproof effect.

[0043] In this embodiment, a wiring adapter hole for accommodating a miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector is provided on one side of the front cover frame 103, and a silicone waterproof ring is provided in the gap between the wiring adapter hole and the miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector to prevent water leakage at the gap between the wiring adapter hole and the miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector.

[0044] In this embodiment, to facilitate the wearing of the diving mask, hanging holes 105 are integrally formed on both sides of the front cover frame 103, and lanyard buckles 3 are snapped onto the two hanging holes 105. An adjustable cable tie 4 is connected between the two cable tie buckles 3. A power supply 5 is fixed in the middle of the adjustable cable tie 4 and on the outer side. The power supply 5 is a portable waterproof battery pack specifically for underwater use. The power supply 5 is also equipped with a power switch for controlling the opening and closing of the power supply 5 and a waterproof charging port for charging the power supply 5. This allows divers to control the circuit through the power switch to achieve supplemental lighting and defrosting. A silicone plug is provided on the waterproof charging port to prevent water from entering the waterproof charging port during diving. In order to supply power to the flexible circuit 209 to realize the supplemental lighting of the LED light strip 202 and temperature-sensing defogging, a wire 6 is connected to the power supply end of the power supply 5. The end of the wire 6 is equipped with a waterproof quick-connect male connector that is compatible with the miniature waterproof quick-connect female connector.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
