[0002] The main purpose of nightlights is to provide illumination at night or in dimly lit indoor areas, making it easier for people to walk around at night and preventing them from tripping or bumping into things. Nightlights also have the effect of creating an indoor atmosphere, hence the various uniquely designed nightlight structures to attract consumers' attention and increase their desire to buy.

[0003] However, existing nightlights are usually manufactured using standardized injection molding methods, resulting in fixed and monotonous shapes that fail to provide users with a sense of novelty. Furthermore, existing nightlights generally lack interactive features and cannot change their form. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems and shortcomings by providing a night light that can be assembled from building blocks, thereby effectively solving the problems of traditional design and limited functionality of current night lights on the market.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] The present invention discloses a night light that can be assembled from building blocks, comprising a light body, characterized in that the light body is a cavity having an inner cavity and an opening, the light body including an assembly base plate located at the bottom of the inner cavity, a rear shell with luminous LED beads, and a front shell that can be easily disassembled relative to the rear shell, the opening being formed on the front shell, the surface of the assembly base plate having an array of connecting protrusions for assembling building blocks, the building block shapes assembled on the assembly base plate being visible from the opening, and the light from the luminous LED beads being transmitted through the opening.

[0007] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the cavity is designed as a semi-transparent or fully transparent shell to allow the light from the luminous LED to be transmitted outside the cavity.

[0008] In some embodiments, the assembly substrate is fixedly connected to or detachably connected to the rear shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the front half of the assembly substrate extends beyond the rear shell, and when the front shell is connected to the rear shell, the front half of the assembly substrate is inserted into the front shell.

[0010] In some embodiments, the front shell and the rear shell are respectively provided with insertion holes and insertion blocks on their mating edges. The front shell and the rear shell can be easily detached and connected as a whole by the insertion holes and insertion blocks being inserted and engaged.

[0011] In some embodiments, the rear shell includes a connecting ring edge and a rear half-cavity shell. The edge of the rear half-cavity shell is provided with a connecting post with a screw hole, and the connecting ring edge is provided with a countersunk hole. After the connecting ring edge is mated with the edge of the rear half-cavity shell, a bolt with a nut passes through the countersunk hole and is screwed into the screw hole to connect them into one piece.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting ring edge is provided with a plug hole on the surface facing the front shell, and a plug block is provided on the mating edge of the front shell facing the connecting ring edge. The front shell and the connecting ring edge can be easily detached and connected as a whole by plugging and engaging the plug hole and the plug block.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer contour dimension of the connecting ring edge matches the inner wall contour of the front shell. After the front shell and the connecting ring edge are inserted and engaged with the plug block through the plug hole, the mating edge of the front shell contacts the mating edge of the rear shell, and the connecting ring edge is covered in the cavity.

[0014] In some embodiments, the luminous LED is disposed at the top of the rear housing, and a partition is provided at the top of the cavity of the rear housing. A mounting position is formed between the partition and the top cavity wall of the rear housing. The luminous LED is soldered onto the circuit board and then installed at the mounting position, with the luminous LED facing downward relative to the circuit board.

[0015] In some embodiments, the rear cover has a battery compartment formed below the mounting substrate, the battery compartment contains a rechargeable battery, the battery is electrically connected to the luminous LED, and the rear wall of the rear cover is provided with a USB port that can charge the battery or continuously power the luminous LED.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) The present invention provides a cavity on the lamp body, and various building block shapes that users can assemble themselves can be assembled inside the cavity. This not only changes the shape of the night light, but also increases the interactivity and combinability with building block toys while maintaining the original function of the night light, and also realizes the interaction between the user and the night light.

[0018] (2) Players can change the shape of the building blocks at any time according to their own interests, so that the night light can always bring new visual stimulation and freshness, and no longer cause aesthetic fatigue due to a single shape.

[0019] (3) Furthermore, since the night light is designed as a cavity with an opening, allowing light to shine through the opening, it is quite different from the traditional night light design, has a novel feel, and is more likely to attract users.

[0020] (4) By combining nightlights with building blocks, users are provided with more creative inspiration.

[0044] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this utility model. Furthermore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features, used to distinguish descriptive features, without any order or emphasis.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0047] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "fitting," "connected," "linked," and "installed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes the night light of this utility model that can be assembled from building blocks.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model relates to a night light with assembleable building blocks, including a lamp body designed with an inner cavity and an opening. Therefore, the night light's shape differs from conventional night lights, offering a novel and creative effect. The lamp body includes an assembleable base plate located at the bottom of the inner cavity, a rear shell equipped with luminous LEDs, and a front shell that can be easily detached from the rear shell. The opening is located on the front shell. The surface of the assembleable base plate is arrayed with connecting protrusions for assembling building blocks. The building block shapes assembled on the base plate are visible through this opening, and the light from the luminous LEDs shines through the opening. By assembling various user-assembled building block shapes within the cavity, the form of the night light is not only changed, but also, while maintaining its original function, its interactivity and combinability with building block toys are increased, enabling user interaction with the night light. Furthermore, players can change the building block shapes at any time according to their interests, ensuring the night light always brings new visual stimulation and novelty, preventing aesthetic fatigue from a monotonous design.

[0050] Understandably, this utility model designs the lamp body with a front and rear shell that can be relatively disassembled. The purpose is to facilitate the placement of the user-assembled building block model into the inner cavity, allowing it to be joined with the assembly base. The ease of disassembly here refers to the degree to which most users can remove the front and rear shells by hand without tools. Similarly, it is understandable that the area of ​​the opening must be smaller than the area of ​​the opening at the mating surface of the front and rear shells; otherwise, the front shell could be omitted entirely.

[0051] To achieve a more beautiful and brighter lighting effect, at least a portion of the cavity of this invention is designed as a semi-transparent or fully transparent shell. For example, the upper half of the front shell and the lower half of the rear shell may be semi-transparent, while the lower half may be opaque; or the front shell may be semi-transparent or fully transparent, while the rear shell may be opaque. This design allows the light from the luminous LED beads to be transmitted from the semi-transparent or fully transparent material to the outside of the cavity.

[0052] The modular base and the back shell of this invention can be either fixedly connected or detachably connected. A fixed connection means the modular base and the back shell are secured with screws or are integrally molded, making them non-removable or inconvenient to separate. A detachable connection allows the modular base and the back shell to be detachably connected, using methods such as snap-fit, threaded connection, or plug-in connection. A detachable connection allows for the replacement of modular bases with different block sizes as needed, accommodating various block sizes and thus giving the night light greater versatility in design, constantly providing new visual stimulation and novelty. Figure 4In the embodiment shown, the rear shell has a support plate on the bottom surface of the splicing substrate. The support plate divides the rear shell into upper and lower parts, with the upper cavity being larger than the lower cavity. The inner wall of the rear shell has an insertion interface at the upper end of the support plate and away from the docking opening. Correspondingly, the edge of the splicing substrate facing the rear shell has an insertion protrusion. When the splicing substrate is inserted into the rear shell, it is supported by the support plate, and at the same time, the insertion protrusion of the splicing substrate extends into the insertion interface, thereby further improving the firmness of the connection.

[0053] To increase the assembly area of ​​the modular substrates, such as Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the front half of the modular substrate extends beyond the rear shell. Furthermore, to ensure stability during use, the front half of the modular substrate is inserted into the front shell when the front and rear shells are connected. Figure 5 As shown, the front shell of this embodiment is also provided with an insertion interface at the position corresponding to the front of the splicing substrate. At the same time, the front of the splicing substrate is also provided with a forward insertion protrusion. After the front shell and the rear shell are connected, the insertion protrusion of the splicing substrate is inserted into the insertion interface.

[0054] The connection method between the front shell and the rear shell of this utility model can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the front shell and the rear shell are respectively provided with insertion holes and insertion blocks on their mating edges. Specifically, the rear shell is provided with insertion holes on its mating edge, and the front shell is provided with insertion blocks on its mating edge. The insertion holes and insertion blocks are connected and engaged, thereby enabling the front shell and the rear shell to be easily disassembled and connected as a whole.

[0055] It can also be like Figure 6 As shown, the rear shell of this embodiment includes a connecting ring edge and a rear half-cavity shell. The edge of the rear half-cavity shell has a connecting post with a threaded hole, and the connecting ring edge has a corresponding countersunk hole. After the connecting ring edge and the edge of the rear half-cavity shell are mated, a bolt with a nut passes through the countersunk hole and is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby connecting the connecting ring edge and the rear half-cavity shell into one unit. Next, the connecting ring edge has a insertion hole on its surface facing the front shell, and an insertion block protrudes from the mating edge of the front shell facing the connecting ring edge. The insertion hole and the insertion block are engaged, allowing the front shell and the connecting ring edge to be easily detachably connected as one unit, that is, allowing the front shell and the rear shell to be easily detachably connected.

[0056] To minimize the appearance of gaps in the connection between the components when the night light is viewed from the outside, in such cases... Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the outer contour of the connecting ring edge matches the inner wall contour of the front shell. After the front shell and the connecting ring edge are connected to the plug block through the plug hole, the mating edge of the front shell contacts the mating edge of the rear shell, and the connecting ring edge is covered in the cavity, so the connecting ring edge cannot be seen from the outside of the night light.

[0057] In order to allow light to pass through better and not be blocked, in such Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the luminous LED is positioned at the top of the rear housing. A partition is located at the top of the cavity of the rear housing, forming a mounting position between the partition and the top cavity wall of the rear housing. The luminous LED is soldered onto the circuit board and then mounted at this mounting position, with the luminous LED facing downwards relative to the circuit board; that is, the luminous LED is soldered to the bottom surface of the circuit board. The partition has a notch corresponding to the position of the luminous LED, allowing light to shine into the cavity below through the notch. Furthermore, a diffuser can be placed at the notch to soften and evenly diffuse the light from the luminous LED.

[0058] To facilitate the movement of the night light, a battery compartment is formed at the bottom of the rear shell, that is, at the bottom of the mounting base. A rechargeable battery is installed in the battery compartment and is electrically connected to the night light bulb. Therefore, the night light can be moved and placed at will without being plugged into a socket or power strip. In addition, a USB port is provided on the rear wall of the rear shell, through which the battery can be charged or the night light bulb can be continuously powered.

[0059] The lamp body of this utility model can be shaped like various cartoon characters, such as... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the lamp body is shaped like a round rice ball, and its opening also resembles the outline of a rice ball. Furthermore, a soft rubber label, simulating a real rice ball label, is inserted diagonally above the rice ball-shaped nightlight. This gives the nightlight a cute appearance, making it more appealing to users.

[0060] In this specification, the terms "embodiment," "example," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0061] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
