Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a pumpkin lantern with a changeable pattern. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of lighting technology, numerous lighting fixtures with varying functions have emerged on the market. For example, patterned tiles are placed in the light path from a light source to create corresponding patterned effects. Currently, patterned lights on the market lack a quick-change mechanism for the patterned tiles; this means that replacing the tile requires disassembling the entire light fixture, a time-consuming and laborious process. Therefore, how to quickly replace the patterned tile has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to enable quick replacement of pattern pieces, this application provides a pumpkin lantern with changeable patterns.
[0004] The pumpkin lantern with changeable patterns provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A pumpkin lantern with changeable patterns includes a base, a light box, a cover, and multiple pattern pieces. The two ends of the light box are connected to the base and the cover, respectively. Each side of the light box has a through hole, and the side of the light box has a mounting groove that communicates with the through hole. The pattern pieces are inserted into the mounting groove to cover the surface of the through hole, and the pattern pieces are connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove through a connecting component.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the pattern piece inserted into the mounting slot on the outside of the light box can cover the surface of the through hole, so that the illuminated light presents the corresponding pattern effect. When it is necessary to replace the pattern piece, the pattern piece can be removed by connecting components, so that the pattern piece can be taken out from the outside of the light box for replacement. Different pattern pieces can be replaced without disassembling the whole light, which is simple and quick.
[0006] Optionally, the connecting assembly includes a mounting frame, a first spring, a fixing block, and an unlocking component. The patterned piece is mounted on the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is inserted into a mounting slot. The mounting frame has first fixing slots on its side wall, and the fixing block is movably mounted in the first fixing slot. The inner wall of the mounting slot has a second fixing slot for the fixing block to be inserted into. The spring force of the first spring is used to drive the fixing block to be inserted into the second fixing slot, and the unlocking component is used to cancel the insertion of the fixing block into the second fixing slot.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting frame and the mounting groove cooperate to cover the outer wall of the through hole with the pattern piece. The elastic force of the first spring drives the fixing block to insert into the second fixing groove, thereby achieving a stable installation of the pattern piece. The insertion and cooperation between the fixing block and the second fixing groove can improve the installation efficiency of the pattern piece. And by unlocking the component, the insertion and cooperation between the fixing block and the second fixing groove can be canceled, thereby facilitating the user to quickly disassemble and replace the pattern piece.
[0008] Optionally, the fixing block is provided with a guide surface for guiding itself into the second fixing groove.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of inserting the mounting frame into the mounting groove, the fixing block is inserted into the second fixing groove under the guidance of the guide surface; so that the mounting frame can be smoothly inserted into the mounting groove. When the first fixing groove and the second fixing groove are aligned, the fixing block is inserted into the second fixing groove under the elastic force of the first spring, thereby making the pattern piece firmly cover the surface of the through hole.
[0010] Optionally, the unlocking component includes an unlocking block and an unlocking rod, the unlocking block being movably installed in the second fixing groove; the outer wall of the light box is provided with an unlocking groove communicating with the second fixing groove, and the unlocking rod passes through the unlocking groove and is connected to the unlocking block.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixing block is inserted into place, it will contact the unlocking block and push the unlocking block to move away from the unlocking lever. At this time, by pressing the unlocking lever, the unlocking block can overcome the elastic force of the first spring and push the fixing block away from the second fixing groove, thereby realizing the quick unlocking and replacement of the pattern piece, which is convenient and efficient.
[0012] Optionally, the side of the unlocking groove away from the second fixing groove is connected to the bottom wall of the light box, and the base has an avoidance groove for pressing the unlocking rod.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the unlocking slot is set at the bottom of the light box, and together with the avoidance slot opened in the base, the pressing operation of the unlocking rod can only be performed from the bottom, effectively preventing users from accidentally touching the unlocking rod during normal use, thereby improving the stability and safety of the pattern sheet fixation.
[0014] Optionally, a push-out groove is provided on the side of the mounting groove away from the mounting frame, and a push-out block for abutting against the mounting frame is movably installed in the push-out groove; a second spring is provided between the push-out block and the push-out groove, and the elastic force of the second spring is used to drive the push-out block to move toward the side away from the push-out groove.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after the fixed state of the pattern piece is removed, the elasticity of the push-out block automatically pushes the mounting frame out of the mounting slot, thereby making it convenient for users to quickly remove the pattern piece, improving the efficiency of changing the pattern piece, and reducing the tediousness of manual operation.
[0016] Optionally, the outer peripheral wall of the mounting frame is provided with a rubber layer.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after setting a rubber layer on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting frame, the friction between the mounting frame and the inner wall of the mounting groove can be effectively increased. When the ejector block moves away from the ejector groove under the elastic force of the second spring, this friction can prevent the mounting frame from being completely ejected from the mounting groove, thereby protecting the mounting frame from damage.
[0018] Optionally, the outer peripheral wall of the mounting frame is provided with a groove.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the grooves set on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting frame make it easier for users to insert their fingers, thereby making it easier to grasp the mounting frame and improving the ease of operation when changing pattern pieces.
[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The pattern piece can be inserted into the mounting slot on the outside of the light box to cover the surface of the through hole, so that the illuminated light presents the corresponding pattern effect; when it is necessary to replace the pattern piece, the pattern piece can be removed by connecting components, so that the pattern piece can be taken out from the outside of the light box for replacement. Different pattern pieces can be replaced without disassembling the whole light, which is simple and quick. 2. After the pattern piece is removed from its fixed position, the spring force of the ejector block automatically pushes the mounting frame partially out of the mounting slot, making it convenient for users to quickly remove the pattern piece, improving the efficiency of changing the pattern piece and reducing the tediousness of manual operation.

The two ends of the light box 2 are connected to the base 1 and the cover 3, respectively. A light bulb is installed inside the light box 2, and the light bulb is electrically connected to the base 1. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the light bulb is covered with a pumpkin-shaped shell 11 so that the light is emitted from the pumpkin shell 11 to create a Halloween atmosphere.
[0026] Each side wall of the light box 2 has a through hole 21, and a patterned piece 4 is used to cover the surface of the through hole 21 to create the corresponding pattern effect when illuminated. In this embodiment, the patterned piece 4 is set with patterns such as witches and tree branches, which are part of the Halloween atmosphere.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 The outer peripheral wall of the light box 2 is provided with a mounting groove 22 that communicates with the through hole 21. The pattern piece 4 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 22 through the connecting component 5. In this embodiment, the connecting component 5 includes a mounting frame 51, a first spring 52, a fixing block 53 and an unlocking component 54. The pattern piece 4 is mounted on the mounting frame 51, and the mounting frame 51 is inserted into the mounting groove 22. A first fixing groove 511 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting frame 51, and the fixing block 53 is movably mounted in the first fixing groove 511. A second fixing groove 23 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 22 for the fixing block 53 to be inserted.
[0028] A guide surface is provided on the side of the fixing block 53 near the light box 2, and a positioning surface is provided on the side of the fixing block 53 away from the light box 2. The distance from the side of the guide surface away from the first fixing groove 511 to the positioning surface is smaller than the distance from the side of the guide surface near the first fixing groove 511 to the positioning surface. The guide surface is used to guide the fixing block 53 into the first fixing groove 511.
[0029] Reference Figure 4The two ends of the first spring 52 are connected to the fixing block 53 and the first fixing groove 511 respectively. The elastic force of the first spring 52 is used to drive the fixing block 53 to move toward the side away from the first fixing groove 511. When the mounting frame 51 is inserted into the mounting groove 22, the fixing block 53 is firmly inserted into the first fixing groove 511 under the elastic force of the first spring 52, thereby increasing the stability of the patterned piece 4 covering the outer wall of the through hole 21.
[0030] The unlocking component 54 includes an unlocking block 55 and an unlocking rod 56. The unlocking block 55 is movably installed in the second fixing groove 23.

The unlocking rod 56 is movably installed in the unlocking groove 24 and connected to the unlocking rod 56. The base 1 is provided with a clearance groove 12 that communicates with the unlocking groove 24. The clearance groove 12 is used to allow the user's hand to reach in and press the unlocking rod 56.
[0031] By pressing the unlocking lever 56, the unlocking block 55 can overcome the elastic force of the first spring 52 and push the fixing block 53 away from the second fixing groove 23, thereby realizing the quick unlocking and replacement of the pattern piece 4.
[0032] Reference Figure 5 An ejection groove 25 is provided on the side of the mounting groove 22 away from the mounting frame 51, and an ejection block 6 is movably installed in the ejection groove 25. A second spring 61 is provided between the ejection block 6 and the inner wall of the ejection groove 25. The elastic force of the second spring 61 is used to drive the ejection block 6 to move toward the side away from the ejection groove 25 so that it abuts against the mounting frame 51.
[0033] After the pattern piece 4 is removed from its fixed position, the elasticity of the push-out block 6 automatically pushes the mounting frame 51 out of the mounting slot 22, making it convenient for the user to quickly remove the pattern piece 4, improving the efficiency of replacing the pattern piece 4 and reducing the tediousness of manual operation.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 The outer peripheral wall of the mounting frame 51 is provided with a groove 27, which facilitates hand gripping of the mounting frame 51 and improves the ease of operation for changing the pattern piece 4.
[0035] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: The pattern piece 4 can be inserted into the mounting slot 22 on the outside of the light box 2 to cover the surface of the through hole 21 so that the illuminated light presents the corresponding pattern effect. When it is necessary to replace the pattern piece 4, the pattern piece 4 can be removed by connecting component 5, so that the pattern piece 4 can be taken out from the outside of the light box 2 for replacement. Different pattern pieces 4 can be replaced without disassembling the whole light, which is simple and quick.
