[0002] Existing light guides and mirrors are usually separate units. The light guide is installed above the mirror, and the light emitted by the light guide is reflected by the mirror to the viewer's eyes to create an image. However, after installation, the light guide can only illuminate the mirror at a fixed angle, and the beam angle cannot be adjusted, which cannot meet various daily needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, this invention proposes a rotatable light guide mirror lamp.

[0004] This utility model embodiment provides a rotatable light guide lamp, the rotatable light guide lamp comprising:

[0005] Mirror;

[0006] The lamp body is located above the mirror;

[0007] A damping hinge includes a first hinge, a second hinge, and a pin. The first hinge is fixedly installed on the mirror, the second hinge is fixedly installed on the lamp body, and the pin passes through and is fixedly connected to the second hinge. The first hinge has a bushing, and the inner peripheral wall of the bushing has an elastic annular pad. The pin passes through the bushing, and the inner peripheral wall of the elastic annular pad presses against the outer peripheral wall of the pin, so that the pin and the bushing are interference-fitted, and the pin can rotate relative to the bushing.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second hinge is provided with a positioning groove, and the rear side of the lamp body is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lamp body is clamped between two opposite groove walls of the positioning groove.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a reflector is provided on the upper side of the lamp body.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a heating wire is provided on the rear side of the mirror.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of connectors are fixedly provided on the rear side of the mirror, the plurality of connectors being arranged at intervals along the left and right direction, and the connectors being able to be fixed to the wall.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the connector includes a first vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The front side of the first vertical plate is attached to the rear side of the mirror. The first vertical plate and the mirror are fixedly connected by bolts. The front side of the horizontal plate is connected to the upper end of the first vertical plate. The horizontal plate is provided with a connecting hole. The horizontal plate can be fixedly connected to the wall by bolts passing through the connecting hole.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the connector further includes a second vertical plate, the upper end of which is connected to the rear side of the horizontal plate, and the lower end face of the second vertical plate is provided with a notch that extends upward and the width of the notch gradually decreases upward in the left-right direction.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second vertical plate is provided with an elongated through hole extending in the left-right direction, and the notch extends upward to communicate with the elongated through hole.

[0016] The rotatable light guide lamp according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following technical effects:

[0017] 1. The lamp body is located above the mirror, and it shines downwards to provide a light source, ensuring that the user can use the mirror normally. The pin can rotate relative to the first hinge, thereby causing the lamp body to rotate relative to the mirror. Due to the interference fit between the pin and the first hinge, the user needs to overcome the friction between the pin and the first hinge when rotating the lamp body. When the lamp body is rotated to the target angle, the pin and the first hinge maintain the interference fit, so that when the user no longer applies force to the lamp body, the lamp body and the mirror are relatively fixed and self-locking.

[0018] 2. When using a mirror in a humid environment, water vapor easily condenses on the mirror surface, affecting its use. The heating wire generates heat when energized, and the heat is conducted to the mirror glass, raising the mirror temperature above the dew point. This causes the water vapor to evaporate and dissipate quickly, keeping the mirror clear and eliminating the need for manual wiping, making it convenient and quick.

[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1 to 5 The rotatable light guide mirror lamp includes a mirror 100, a lamp body 200, and a damping hinge 300. The mirror surface of the mirror 100 faces forward, and the lamp body 200 is located above the mirror 100. The damping hinge 300 includes a first hinge 310, a second hinge 320, and a pin 330. The first hinge 310 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the mirror 100, the second hinge 320 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the lamp body 200, and the pin 330 passes through both the first hinge 310 and the second hinge 320. The pin 330 is fixedly connected to the second hinge 320 and has an interference fit with the first hinge 310, allowing the pin 330 to rotate relative to the first hinge 310.

[0037] The lamp body 200 is located above the mirror 100. The lamp body 200 can shine downwards to provide a light source, ensuring that the light illuminates the face from top to bottom, simulating natural light or top lighting effects. This effectively illuminates facial details, reduces shadows in areas such as the lower eyelids, and provides a clear and realistic reflection in the mirror, ensuring normal use of the mirror 100. The pin 330 can rotate relative to the first hinge 310, thereby allowing the lamp body 200 to rotate relative to the mirror 100. Due to the interference fit between the pin 330 and the first hinge 310, the user needs to overcome the friction between the pin 330 and the first hinge 310 when rotating the lamp body 200. After the lamp body 200 rotates to the target angle, the pin 330 and the first hinge 310 maintain the interference fit, so that when the user no longer applies force to the lamp body 200, the lamp body 200 and the mirror 100 remain relatively fixed, thus achieving self-locking.

[0038] Understandably, the static friction generated by the interference fit is the source of the damping force, and the user needs to apply a certain force to rotate the lamp body 200. When the external force is removed, the frictional torque generated by the interference fit is sufficient to resist the torque generated by the weight of the lamp body 200 or slight disturbances, allowing the lamp body 200 to remain stably at any angle adjusted by the user without the need for an additional locking mechanism, making operation extremely simple and intuitive.

[0039] The first hinge 310 and the second hinge 320 are made of zinc alloy die-casting or stamping steel, and the pin 330 is made of stainless steel or high carbon steel. They have high hardness and wear resistance, ensuring the stability of the interference fit and the reliability of long-term use, and avoiding damping failure due to wear.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 The first hinge 310 is provided with a bushing 340, which has an inner cavity and extends in the left-right direction. Both ends of the bushing 340 are open, and the inner peripheral wall of the bushing 340 is provided with an elastic annular pad 350. When the pin 330 passes through the bushing 340 in the left-right direction, the inner peripheral wall of the elastic annular pad 350 presses against the outer peripheral wall of the pin 330, so that the pin 330 and the elastic annular pad 350 are in an interference fit. When the user rotates the lamp body 200, it is necessary to overcome the friction between the elastic annular pad 350 and the pin 330 so that the pin 330 rotates relative to the elastic annular pad 350.

[0041] Understandably, bushing 340 provides a precise carrier and guide for the interference fit. The elastic annular gasket 350, an O-ring or polyurethane seal, is pressed against the outer surface of pin 330. Made of rubber or polyurethane, the elastic annular gasket 350 provides uniform, quiet, and non-stick-slip friction, while also offering some cushioning and vibration absorption. Furthermore, the elasticity of the annular gasket 350 allows for some tolerance compensation and wear adaptation, maintaining a certain damping effect even after long-term use. Additionally, as a soft medium, the annular gasket avoids direct contact and friction between the metal bushing 340 and the metal pin 330, reducing wear and noise, and improving rotational smoothness and lifespan.

[0042] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second hinge 320 has a hexagonal hole 380, and a hexagonal nut 370 is fitted and fixed on the pin 330. The pin 330 is inserted into the hexagonal hole 380 of the second hinge 320 and into the bushing 340 in the left-right direction. When the pin 330 is inserted into the hexagonal hole 380 of the second hinge 320, the hexagonal nut 370 is located in the hole of the second hinge 320, so that the pin 330 cannot rotate relative to the second hinge 320. Moreover, since the pin 330 is interference-fitted with the elastic annular washer 350, in the natural state, the pin 330 cannot rotate or move axially relative to the elastic annular washer 350, and the pin 330 cannot move axially to disengage from the second hinge 320, so that the second hinge 320 and the pin 330 are relatively fixed. Under manual rotation, the pin 330 can overcome the friction between itself and the elastic annular washer 350, so that the rotation of the second hinge 320 can drive the pin 330 to rotate relative to the first hinge 310. When the user rotates the lamp body 200, the second hinge 320 drives the pin 330 to rotate. The pin 330 overcomes the friction between itself and the elastic annular pad 350, and rotates relative to the first hinge 310.

[0043] Understandably, the fit between the hexagonal hole and the hexagonal nut utilizes the self-locking property of the polygonal cross-section to completely eliminate the possibility of the pin 330 rotating relative to the second hinge 320, forming a rigid torque transmission path. When the user rotates the lamp body 200, thereby causing the second hinge 320 to rotate, the torque can be fully transmitted to the pin 330, driving the pin 330 to rotate against damping. Compared to keyways, pins, or welding, the hexagonal fit structure is simple, easy to assemble, has high connection strength, and is not prone to loosening or failure. The hexagonal nut also serves as an axial limiter.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 The second hinge 320 is provided with a positioning groove 360. The rear side of the lamp body 200 is inserted into the positioning groove 360, which provides initial positioning and alignment, simplifying installation. Preferably, the lamp body 200 and the positioning groove 360 ​​are interference-fitted. The two opposing groove walls of the positioning groove 360 ​​clamp the lamp body 200, thus fixing the second hinge 320 and the lamp body 200 relatively. Clamping force is generated by the elastic deformation of the groove walls of the positioning groove 360 ​​(i.e., the material of the second hinge 320 needs to have a certain degree of toughness, such as spring steel or a specific aluminum alloy), or by slight deformation of the lamp body 200 shell, such as a plastic lamp body 200. This allows for quick installation; the assembly between the lamp body 200 and the positioning groove 360 ​​can be completed quickly by simply plugging and unplugging. Alternatively, the lamp body 200 can be fixed to the second hinge 320 with bolts, ensuring a firm and reliable connection. Other connection methods such as snap-fit, welding, and bonding can also be used.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a reflector 210 is provided on the upper side of the lamp body 200. The lamp body 200 is provided with multiple light source components, such as LEDs. The reflector 210 can reflect the light emitted towards the rear of the lamp body 200 to the front, thereby ensuring that the light output from the front side of the lamp body 200 is uniform and has high brightness.

[0046] Understandably, LED light sources are directional, and some light is wasted by being emitted backward. The reflector 210 is made of a high-reflectivity material such as mirrored aluminum plate, silver-plated PC / ABS, or uses a special reflective coating. It can efficiently reflect the backward-reflected light forward, significantly increasing the forward luminous flux and helping to mix the light, eliminating the graininess of LEDs, and making the light shining on the face softer, more uniform, and shadow-free, providing a better lighting experience.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2A heating wire 110 is located on the rear side of the mirror 100. When activated, the heating wire 110 generates heat to defog the mirror surface. In humid environments, water vapor easily condenses on the mirror surface, affecting its use. The heating wire 110 is typically a resistance wire, such as a nickel-chromium alloy wire, or a printed thick / thin film heating circuit. When energized, the heating wire 110 generates heat, which is conducted to the mirror glass, raising the mirror surface temperature above the dew point. This causes the water vapor to evaporate and dissipate rapidly, keeping the mirror clear without requiring manual wiping by the user, making it convenient and quick.

[0048] Preferably, the mirror 100 has a first button and a second button on its front side. The mirror 100 has a circuit board inside, which is connected to the heating wire 110 and the lamp body 200 respectively. The first button and the second button are connected to the circuit board. The first button is used to control the heating wire 110 to start or stop. The second button is used to control the lamp body 200 to start and adjust its brightness.

[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Multiple connectors 400 are fixedly installed on the rear side of the mirror 100. These connectors 400 are spaced apart in the left-right direction and are used to fix the mirror 100 to the wall, thus securing it to the wall. The spaced-apart connectors 400 effectively distribute the overall weight load of the mirror 100, the lamp body 200, and internal components, preventing deformation or detachment due to excessive force at a single point, significantly improving the stability and safety of the installation.

[0050] Preferred, refer to Figure 4 The connector 400 includes a first vertical plate 410 and a horizontal plate 420. The front side of the first vertical plate 410 is attached to the rear side of the mirror 100, thereby increasing the force-bearing area between the first vertical plate 410 and the mirror 100 and enhancing the connection stability. The first vertical plate 410 supports the weight of the mirror 100 and transmits a vertically downward force; the horizontal plate 420 bears tensile force through wall bolts to prevent the mirror 100 from tipping over. The first vertical plate 410 and the mirror 100 are fixedly connected by bolts. The front side of the horizontal plate 420 is connected to the upper end of the first vertical plate 410. The horizontal plate 420 is provided with a connecting hole 430. Bolts pass through the connecting hole 430 of the horizontal plate 420, thereby allowing the horizontal plate 420 to be fixedly connected to the wall, thus allowing the mirror 100 to be fixedly installed on the wall.

[0051] Preferred, refer to Figure 4The connector 400 also includes a second vertical plate 440, the upper end of which is connected to the rear side of the horizontal plate 420. The lower end of the second vertical plate 440 has a notch 450 that extends upwards and gradually decreases in width from left to right. The rotatable light guide lamp also includes a hook 470, which is fixed to the wall and can be inserted upwards into the notch 450, allowing the mirror 100 to be hung on the hook 470. In its natural state, the mirror 100 tends to move downwards under gravity, ensuring that the hook 470 can support the mirror 100 upwards. Because the notch 450 gradually decreases in width from left to right, it guides the hook 470 to move upwards relative to the notch 450. The hook 470 is engaged at the top of the notch 450 and is not easily dislodged, ensuring the stability of the connection between the mirror 100 and the hook 470.

[0052] Understandably, after the mirror 100 is hung, it naturally sinks under gravity, causing the hook 470 to engage in the narrowest upper area of ​​the notch 450. At this point, the space in the left-right direction is very small, and the hook 470 is wedged tightly in the narrow space. Since gravity is downward, the supporting force provided by the hook 470 is upward, and the two are in balance. Furthermore, the walls on both sides of the narrow part of the notch 450 effectively prevent the hook 470 from coming loose to the left or right or accidentally upward, achieving reliable gravity self-locking.

[0053] Furthermore, the second vertical plate 440 is provided with an elongated through hole 460 extending in the left-right direction. A notch 450 extends upward to communicate with the elongated through hole 460. A hook 470, fixedly installed on the wall, can enter the elongated through hole 460 when passing upward through the notch 450 and move in the left-right direction, making it difficult for the hook 470 to detach from the connector 400 by passing downward through the notch 450, thus ensuring the connection stability between the connector 400 and the hook 470. Furthermore, the hook portion of the hook 470 is guided sequentially through the notch 450 to the elongated through hole 460 and then passes upward through the connecting hole 430 of the horizontal plate 420.

[0054] Understandably, the elongated through-hole 460 provides space for the hook 470 to move left and right within the hole. When installing the mirror 100, after the hook 470 is hooked in, the user can slightly push the mirror 100 left and right to position it ideally before fully tightening it with bolts. When the hook 470 passes upward through the notch 450 into the elongated through-hole 460, the "hook" or "head" of the hook 470 is located within the elongated through-hole 460. At this point, if the hook 470 wants to detach downward, its path will be blocked by the upper edge of the elongated through-hole 460. The user must first move the hook 470 left and right along the elongated through-hole 460 directly above the notch 450 before it can be pulled downward out of the notch 450. However, under normal use, the weight of the mirror 100 and possible friction will prevent the hook 470 from moving to this position on its own, greatly reducing the risk of accidental detachment and achieving mechanical anti-detachment.
