[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. This utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a portable solar flashlight, including a flashlight body 1, a shell 2 slidably connected to the outer circumference of the flashlight body 1, a groove 3 at the bottom of the outer circumference of the flashlight body 1, a solar panel 4 for solar power generation in the groove 3, an adjustment component between the shell 2 and the flashlight body 1 for adjusting the sliding distance of the shell 2, a limiting component between the shell 2 and the flashlight body 1 for limiting the sliding process of the shell 2, a flat groove 16 at the top of the outer circumference of the flashlight body 1, a protrusion 17 fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the shell 2 by bolts, and the protrusion 17 slides in the flat groove 16, the flat groove 16 is only opened in a local position of the outer circumference of the flashlight body 1 and does not penetrate the surface of the flashlight body 1 laterally.
[0024] By designing the flashlight handle as a separate unit and using a mechanically deformable structure, the fundamental contradiction between portability and functionality is resolved, significantly reducing the space occupied and making it easy to put into a backpack side pocket, emergency kit, or pocket.
[0025] In this utility model, the adjustment component includes a sliding groove 5 opened on one side inner wall of the flat groove 16, and a plurality of equally spaced slots 6 opened on one side inner wall of the sliding groove 5. A clearance opening 9 through the outer circumference of the outer shell 2 and the protrusion 17 is opened. A slider 10 is slidably connected in the clearance opening 9. The lower surface of the slider 10 is fixedly connected to a block 13 that cooperates with the plurality of slots 6 by bolts, and the block 13 is embedded in one of the slots 6.
[0026] When in use, the slider 10 is first pushed by the rubber block 11 to move along the relief opening 9. At this time, the spring 12 is compressed. During the movement of the slider 10, the bottom insert 13 will slide along the groove 6. When the insert 13 is completely slid into the groove 5, the outer shell 2 can be pushed, so that the outer shell 2 and the flashlight body 1 will retract and shorten.
[0027] The adjustable components allow for locking the length of both components after the extension and retraction are adjusted, preventing them from sliding during use and affecting usability.
[0028] Furthermore, side grooves 14 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the clearance opening 9, and connecting blocks 15 that cooperate with the two side grooves 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider 10 by bolts.
[0029] Furthermore, a spring 12 is welded to one side of the slider 10, and the other end of the spring 12 is fixed to the inner wall of one side of the clearance opening 9.
[0030] After the flashlight is retracted to the required length, the slider 10 is released. At this time, the spring 12 releases its elastic force and pushes the slider 10 to slide in the opposite direction along the relief opening 9. During the sliding process of the slider 10, the bottom insert 13 will be driven to re-insert into one of the slots 6, thereby completing the adjustment of the flashlight length.
[0031] In this utility model, a square plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider 10 by bolts. The square plate is slightly larger than the slider 10, and a rubber block 11 is adhered to the upper surface of the square plate.
[0032] In this utility model, the limiting component includes two limiting grooves 7 symmetrically located on the outer circumference of the flashlight body 1, and two symmetrical limiting strips 8 that are fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the outer shell 2 by bolts and cooperate with the two limiting grooves 7.
[0033] When the outer casing 2 and the flashlight body 1 are fully retracted, the outer casing 2 completely covers the solar panel 4. When not in use, both are fully retracted to cover the solar panel 4, thereby protecting it from damage caused by bumps or knocks.
[0034] The use of this utility model involves the following steps:
[0035] S1: When in use, the slider 10 is first pushed along the relief opening 9 by the rubber block 11. At this time, the spring 12 is compressed. During the movement of the slider 10, the bottom insert 13 will slide along the groove 6. When the insert 13 is completely slid into the groove 5, the outer shell 2 can be pushed, so that the outer shell 2 and the flashlight body 1 will retract and shorten.
[0036] S2: After shrinking to the required length, release the slider 10. At this time, the spring 12 releases its elastic force and pushes the slider 10 to slide in the opposite direction along the relief opening 9. During the sliding process of the slider 10, it will drive the bottom of the insert 13 to re-insert into one of the slots 6, thereby completing the adjustment of the flashlight length.
[0037] S3: When the outer shell 2 and the flashlight body 1 are fully retracted, the outer shell 2 completely covers the solar panel 4.
[0038] Finally, the following points should be noted: In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connection, or internal connection between two components, or direct connection. "Up", "down", "left", "right", etc. are only used to indicate relative positional relationship. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may change.
[0039] The electronic components and modules used in this utility model can all be parts that are commonly used in the market and can achieve the specific functions in this case. The specific models and sizes can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs.
