Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, warning lights are commonly used on vehicles, night patrol vehicles, for pets, and at construction sites, with a wide range of applications. Their purpose is to prevent accidents and injuries in dimly lit environments. To improve the portability and versatility of warning lights, this design utilizes a retractable, foldable lampshade to extend the illumination range.

[0003] Chinese patent CN208253242 discloses a portable warning light that connects to a pet's leash via a strap or is strapped to the user. The warning light has a retaining ring that surrounds the junction of the bottom shell and the top cover to secure the strap. The strap has locking holes that engage with buckles on the bottom shell, fixing the warning light to a pet harness, shoulder strap, or similar item. The tightness of the strap can be freely adjusted.

[0004] However, the LED lights in these warning lights are located on a single plane, resulting in a limited illumination range and difficulty in achieving multi-angle illumination. Therefore, they are significantly insufficient in certain usage scenarios. For example, when reading, the flat light easily creates noticeable shadows on the book, keyboard, and computer screen, requiring users to constantly adjust the book or their body angle to avoid these shadows, which can lead to eye strain over time. Similarly, during kitchen cooking, users often completely block the light from directly above, creating shadows in the work area and hindering clear observation of food details and processing, posing potential safety hazards.

[0005] The strap-on design of this warning light effectively avoids the risk of losing accessories by tightly connecting it to the outer shell. However, in actual use, it is cumbersome to operate and is prone to falling off, affecting its portability and stability. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retractable warning light, which aims to solve the problems of existing warning lights being inconvenient to wear and easy to lose, as well as the limited illumination range of flat lampshades.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the retractable warning light provided in this embodiment of the invention can flexibly change the breadth, concentration, and coverage dimension of the illumination according to the needs of the location. The retractable warning light includes: an upper housing, a lower housing, and a control board; characterized in that the upper housing is mounted on the lower housing, the upper housing is made of a retractable and foldable transparent material, and the control board is equipped with LED lights, allowing the light to shine through the upper housing; stretching or compressing the upper housing changes its shape between stretching and folding, thereby increasing or decreasing the volume of the warning light and its illumination range.

[0008] Optionally, the upper housing is provided with a top cover, a telescopic part and a fixed part; the fixed part is installed around the top surface of the lower housing, and the fixed part and the top cover are respectively connected to the telescopic part on both sides; by stretching the telescopic part to extend it out of the fixed part, or by pressing the telescopic part to retract it into the fixed part, the warning light can be converted from a stretched form to a folded form.

[0009] Optionally, the telescopic part includes an upper rubber ring and a lower rubber ring, and a flexible ring located between and connected to the two. Another flexible ring is also provided between the lower rubber ring and the fixed part. The hardness of the flexible ring is lower than that of the upper rubber ring and the lower rubber ring, and it is easy to deform. When the upper shell is compressed, the flexible ring deforms and the lower rubber ring is housed in the fixed part, and the upper rubber ring is housed in the lower rubber ring. When the upper shell is stretched, the flexible ring deforms and extends, and the upper rubber ring and the lower rubber ring extend out from the fixed part, and the upper rubber ring extends out from the lower rubber ring.

[0010] Optionally, when the warning light is in its extended state, the shape of the upper housing can be any one of the following: drum-shaped, cylindrical, or rectangular.

[0011] Optionally, the upper housing is coated with a fluorescent coating, which may be red, green, blue, yellow, orange, or white.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom surface of the lower housing is provided with a mounting base, a latch, and a locking hook; the mounting base is provided on the bottom surface of the lower housing for mounting the latch; the latch is pivotally connected to the mounting base for engaging or unlocking with the locking hook.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting base has a mounting hole, and the latch is rectangular, with one end rotatably mounted at the mounting hole; the position of the latch is opposite to the mounting base; the other end of the latch is engaged with the latch; the latch has a groove, and the other end of the latch is engaged in or disengaged from the groove to lock or unlock.

[0014] Optionally, the lower housing is provided with a waterproof plug and a matching groove, with a charging port in the groove. During charging, the waterproof plug is removed from the groove to allow the charging port to be plugged into a power source to charge the warning light. When not charging, the waterproof plug is inserted into the groove to seal the charging port and prevent dust, water vapor, etc., from entering the warning light.

[0015] Optionally, the control board is a circuit board on which LED lights are mounted; a storage battery is installed inside the lower housing; a power button is installed on the upper housing; the power button, LED lights, storage battery and charging port are electrically connected; when in use, the storage battery provides power, and by pressing the power button, the light from the LED lights shines through the upper housing.

[0016] Optionally, the bottom surface of the lower housing is provided with anti-slip pads; when the warning light is fixed in one position, the anti-slip pads can prevent the warning light from moving and falling.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the warning light with the above structure can switch between stretched and folded forms at will, thereby flexibly changing the size and illumination range of the warning light, realizing multi-angle illumination and being convenient to carry and store, so that the warning light can adapt to a variety of application scenarios. The warning light is easy to operate when worn, and can be quickly hung and attached to other objects. When carrying or illuminating, it does not need to be held by hand, which significantly improves its ease of use and adaptability.

[0018] For example, when taking your pet dog out at night, you can switch the warning light from its folded form to its extended form. In this case, the light emitted by the LED light shines through the transparent shell, maximizing the illumination and warning range. This effectively alerts vehicles, cyclists, and other pedestrians to the pet and greatly reduces the risk of traffic accidents. When you are in a well-lit area, you can switch the warning light from its extended form to its folded form to reduce the illumination range and size of the warning light.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the embodiments of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the retractable warning light includes an upper housing 100, a lower housing 200, and a control board 300. The control board 300 is installed inside the lower housing 200, and the upper housing 100 is mounted on the lower housing 200. The upper housing 100 is made of a retractable and foldable transparent material, which can be any of silicone, acrylic, or plastic optical fiber. The control board 300 is equipped with an LED light 310, and the light can shine through the upper housing 100. Stretching or compressing the upper housing 100 changes its shape between stretching and folding, thereby increasing or decreasing the volume of the warning light and its illumination range. A power button 140 is also provided at the bottom of the upper housing 100 for convenient switching the warning light on and off.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The upper housing 100 shown has a top cover 110, a telescopic part 120, and a fixing part 130. The fixing part 130 is installed around the top surface of the lower housing 200, and the telescopic part 120 is connected to the fixing part 130 and the top cover 110 on both sides respectively. By stretching the telescopic part 120 to extend it out of the fixing part 130, or by pressing the telescopic part 120 to retract it into the fixing part 130, the warning light can be extended from... Figure 3 The folded shape shown is transformed into Figure 4 The extended form is shown. When the warning light is in the extended form, the illumination range is increased, achieving multi-angle illumination and no longer limited to planar illumination. When the warning light is in the folded form, the illumination range is reduced, and the size of the warning light is also reduced, making it easier to carry and store. When the telescopic part 120 is in the folded form, the top cover 110 is located outside the fixed part 130, making it easier to hold the top cover 110 to extend the telescopic part 120.

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the telescopic part 120 includes an upper rubber ring 121 and a lower rubber ring 122, and a flexible ring 123 located between and connected to both. Another flexible ring 123 is also provided between the lower rubber ring 122 and the fixed part 130. The flexible ring 123 has a lower hardness than the upper rubber ring 121 and the lower rubber ring 122, making it easier to deform. When the upper housing 100 is compressed, the flexible ring 123 deforms, causing the lower rubber ring 122 to be housed within the fixed part 130, and the upper rubber ring 121 to be housed within the lower rubber ring 122. When the upper housing 100 is stretched, the flexible ring 123 deforms and extends, causing the upper rubber ring 121 and the lower rubber ring 122 to extend out of the fixed part 130, with the upper rubber ring 121 extending out of the lower rubber ring 122.

[0031] When the warning light is in its extended state, the shape of the upper housing 100 can be any of the following: drum-shaped, cylindrical, or rectangular.

[0032] The upper housing 100 is coated with a fluorescent coating, which can emit fluorescence even when the LED light is off, thus enabling the warning light to emit dazzling fluorescence. It has an attractive appearance and dazzling colors, making it suitable for various scenarios.

[0033] The fluorescent coating can be any color, such as red, green, blue, yellow, orange, or white.

[0034] like Figure 5As shown, the bottom surface of the lower housing 200 is provided with a mounting base 210, a latch 220, and a locking hook 230. The mounting base 210 is disposed on the bottom surface of the lower housing 200 for mounting the latch 220. The latch 220 is pivotally connected to the mounting base 210 for engaging or unlocking with the locking hook 230. Specifically, the mounting base 210 has a mounting hole 211, and the latch 220 is rectangular, with one end rotatably mounted in the mounting hole 211. The locking hook 230 is disposed on the bottom surface of the lower housing 200, its position opposite to the mounting base 210. The other end of the latch 220 engages with the locking hook 230. Specifically, the locking hook 230 has a groove 231, and the other end of the latch 220 is engaged in or disengaged from the groove 231 to engage or unlock. When engaged, it facilitates the hanging and connection of the warning light to other objects; when unlocked, it allows the warning light to be removed from other objects.

[0035] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the bottom surface of the lower housing 200 is provided with a waterproof plug 250 and a matching plug groove 240, in which a charging hole 241 is provided. During charging, the waterproof plug 250 is removed from the plug groove 240 to facilitate plugging the charging hole 241 into a power source to charge the warning light. When not charging, the waterproof plug 250 is inserted into the plug groove 240 to seal the charging hole 241 and prevent dust, water vapor, etc., from entering the warning light.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the control board 300 is a circuit board on which an LED light 310 is mounted. A storage battery 270 is located inside the lower housing 200.
