Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of camping equipment technology, and in particular relates to a portable camping light. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor activities such as camping and hiking, portable camping lights have become the mainstream outdoor lighting product due to their wide applicability and portability. Their core uses include campsite lighting, nighttime activity lighting, and emergency signal indication, and they need to be adaptable to complex outdoor environments such as rain, collisions, and high and low temperatures.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN220647917U discloses a portable outdoor light that solves the problems of existing outdoor lights, such as the inconvenience of needing to free one hand to use, the difficulty of fixing the light outdoors, and the difficulty of collecting power outdoors. Research revealed that outdoor camping and hiking activities require light travel and should not involve carrying excessively large or heavy items. However, the aforementioned device is relatively bulky, causing inconvenience in storage and carrying, affecting its usability, and making it difficult to adjust its usage according to actual needs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve existing camping lights and provide a portable camping light with a folding function. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a portable camping light that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, has a folding function, and is easy to switch between usage modes, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A portable camping light, comprising:

[0008] The telescopic housing includes a base, a top mount, and a protective shell located between the two. The protective shell is made of transparent plastic.

[0009] A flexible LED light strip is spirally arranged inside the protective shell, and both ends of the flexible LED light strip are fixedly connected to the base and the top seat, respectively.

[0010] The rotating handle includes a sleeve hinged to the left and right sides of the base, and a "U"-shaped handle slidably connected to the sleeve. A second bolt is threaded onto the outer wall of the top end of the sleeve, and two first positioning holes adapted to the second bolt are provided inside the vertical section of the handle.

[0011] A switch button is located at the front of the base. A charging port is provided on the outer left front wall of the base. An outer frame is provided on the outer side of the charging port. The outer frame is fixed to the periphery of the base, and a rubber sheet is attached to the inner side wall of the end of the outer frame away from the base.

[0012] Preferably, the protective shell is composed of a first shell and a second shell that are slidably connected. Both the first shell and the second shell are hollow cylindrical structures, and the outer walls of the two shells at opposite ends are fixed with protrusions in annular shape. The protrusions are bolted to the base and the top seat.

[0013] Preferably, a groove is provided on the inner wall at the rear of the second housing, and a protrusion is provided on the outer wall at the top rear of the first housing. The protrusion is engaged and slidably located in the groove to limit the extension range of the protective housing.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom end face of the top seat is symmetrically fixed with positioning blocks at the outer edge, the positioning blocks are threaded with a first bolt in the middle, and the handle is provided with a second positioning hole that matches the first bolt.

[0015] Preferably, a hanging ring is fixed at the top center of the handle for hanging the camping light.

[0016] Preferably, the system also includes a control mechanism located inside the base. The control mechanism includes a central control circuit board and a battery. The battery is electrically connected to the charging port. The battery, the flexible LED light strip, the switch button, and the central control circuit board are electrically connected to each other.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In this invention, the device can first unscrew the second bolt to disengage it from the first positioning hole located inside the bottom of the handle, thereby releasing the handle from its positioning. At this time, by using the slidingly fitted first and second shells, the protective shell can be controlled to shrink, and the base and top can be brought closer to each other. The spirally arranged flexible LED light strip can be compressed vertically downward, thereby reducing the size of the camping light and achieving the technical effect of easy storage and carrying, making it more suitable for outdoor camping and other activities.

[0019] This camping lamp can be placed directly on a camping table, the ground, or other flat surface using the horizontal base. It can also be hung on tree branches or lamp stands using the hanging ring fixed at the top center of the handle. When hiking outdoors at night, the first bolt can be screwed down to disengage it from the second positioning hole in the middle of the handle, releasing the handle from the positioning block. This allows the telescopic shell to rotate 180°, enabling hand-carrying use, making it easier to bring the light closer to the ground. Gravity allows the protective shell to extend, and the sliding grooves and protrusions ensure stability in this extended state. This camping lamp can be switched between multiple usage modes according to actual needs, making it more practical. Attached Figure Description

An outer frame 19 is provided on the outer side of the charging port 18. The outer frame 19 is fixed to the periphery of the base 1, and a rubber sheet 20 is attached to the inner side wall of the end of the outer frame 19 away from the base 1.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the protective shell is preferably composed of a first shell 3 and a second shell 4 that are slidably connected. Both the first shell 3 and the second shell 4 are hollow cylindrical structures, and the outer walls of the two opposite ends are fixed with protrusions 5 in an annular shape. The protrusions 5 are bolted to the base 1 and the top seat 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the protrusions 5 facilitate the fixed connection between the two ends of the protective shell and the base 1 and the top seat 2, and similarly facilitate the disassembly of the protective shell, making it convenient for the maintenance of the flexible LED light strip 8.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, preferably, a groove 6 is provided on the inner wall of the rear of the second housing 4, and a protrusion 7 is provided on the outer wall of the top of the rear of the first housing 3. The protrusion 7 is engaged and slidably located in the groove 6 to limit the extension range of the protective housing.

[0038] In this embodiment, the opening of the groove 6 and the setting of the protrusion 7 are used to limit the extension range of the protective shell and prevent the first shell 3 and the second shell 4 from separating.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, preferably, a positioning block 9 is fixed symmetrically on the outer edge of the bottom end face of the top seat 2, a first bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the middle of the positioning block 9, and a second positioning hole 16 adapted to the first bolt 10 is opened inside the handle 12.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first bolt 10 and the second positioning hole 16 are used to facilitate the positioning of the top seat 2 and the second housing 4, ensuring the stable deployment of the protective shell.

[0042] In this embodiment, the hanging ring 15 facilitates the hanging of the camping light on tree branches and the light stand for combined use.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, it is preferable to also include a control mechanism, which is located inside the base 1. The control mechanism includes a central control circuit board and a battery. The battery is electrically connected to the charging port 18. The battery, the flexible LED light strip 8, the switch button 17 and the central control circuit board are electrically connected.

[0044] In this embodiment, a storage battery is used to provide power to the flexible LED light strip 8, and the opening and closing of the flexible LED light strip 8 can be easily controlled by the switch button 17.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] When in use, the battery located inside the base 1 can be charged through the charging port 18. After charging is complete, the opening of the outer frame 19 can be sealed with a rubber sheet 20 to isolate and protect the charging port 18, preventing dust from entering under outdoor conditions and affecting the use of the charging port 18.

[0047] When in use, this camping light can be placed directly on a camping table, the ground, or other flat surface using the horizontal base 1. It can also be hung on tree branches or a light stand using the hanging ring 15 at the top center of the handle 12. Furthermore, when hiking outdoors at night, the first bolt 10 can be unscrewed to disengage it from the second positioning hole 16, thus releasing the handle 12 from the positioning block 9. This allows the telescopic housing to rotate 180° as if... Figure 5In the state shown, this camping light is used in a handheld manner. At this time, the light is closer to the ground, making it easier for the user to see the road surface and avoid falling or slipping. In addition, during the handheld use, the protective shell can be extended by gravity. The sliding groove 6 and the protrusion 7 can ensure the stability of the extended state of the protective shell and prevent the first shell 3 and the second shell 4 from separating. In summary, this camping light can switch and adjust to multiple usage modes according to actual needs, making it more practical.

[0048] After using the camping light, first restore it to its normal state. Figure 1 In the state shown, the second bolt 13 is then tightened to disengage it from the first positioning hole 14 inside the bottom of the handle 12, thus releasing the positioning between the handle 12 and the sleeve 11. At this time, the top seat 2 can be manually pressed down to control the retraction of the protective shell and bring the base 1 and the top seat 2 closer together. At this time, the spirally arranged flexible LED light strip 8 can be compressed vertically downward, thereby reducing the size of this camping light to the size shown. Figure 4 In the state shown, tighten the second bolt 13 so that one end of it is inserted into another first positioning hole 14, which makes it easy to position the camping light in the retracted state. By folding and compressing the camping light, it is easy to store and carry, making it more suitable for outdoor camping and other activities.

[0049] It should be noted that the central control circuit board and battery inside the base 1, as well as the charging port 18, switch button 17 and flexible LED light strip 8 are all existing electrical components. Their specific cooperative operation mode and control principle are all mature and widely used existing technologies. This case directly uses existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model and on the basis of existing technology through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
