Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of lighting fixtures, specifically to a footlight. Background Technology

[0002] Footlights are lighting fixtures installed on the floor at the front of a stage to illuminate performers from below. In current technology, strip lights are commonly used as footlights.

[0003] For example, CN116045235A discloses a strip light, including a lamp body shell, a light source assembly, and a lamp base assembly. The lamp body shell has a light outlet. The light source assembly is fixedly connected to the lamp body shell and includes several lamp bodies. The light source assembly adjusts the light output of the strip light through a structure in which the lamp body shell and the lamp base assembly are rotatably connected.

[0004] The above-mentioned strip lights have the following defects in actual use:

[0005] Firstly, the strip light's adjustable output light is achieved through a structure where the outer shell and the lamp base assembly are rotatably connected via the lamp base assembly. This structure is complex and inconvenient to install. Furthermore, the lamp base assembly results in a relatively high overall height for the strip light. Since the strip light is installed at the front of the stage, it is easily exposed on the stage, affecting the stage setup.

[0006] Secondly, in practical applications, it is necessary to change the color of the light according to the requirements. This is usually achieved by installing colored light strips of different colors at the front end of the light source. This strip light does not take into account the installation of colored light strips, making installation inconvenient. Furthermore, since this strip light does not take into account the waterproofing of open-air stages, the exposed structure of the light outlet is prone to rainwater seeping into the light source when used in rainy weather, posing a safety hazard of water leakage and electric shock.

[0007] In conclusion, the existing strip lights have defects and urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present application aims to provide a footlight. This application features a simple structure, ease of installation, and the ability to install colored light filters and waterproof sheets, making it convenient to use.

[0009] The footlight described in this application includes:

[0010] The housing has a light-emitting window on at least one side, and the housing has a mounting structure for mounting a sheet-like component outside the light-emitting window;

[0011] A light source is positioned at the light-emitting window, and the light emission direction is outward from the light-emitting window.

[0012] A movable flip cover is provided at the light-emitting window, and one edge of the movable flip cover is hinged to the housing through a damping hinge structure.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting structure includes a fixing plate and a sliding baffle. The housing has slots adapted to the sheet-like parts at both ends of the light-emitting window. The housing also has a sliding groove perpendicular to the slots and communicating with the slots. The sliding baffle is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, so that the sliding baffle can slide to the end extending into the slot to limit the sheet-like parts. The fixing plate is disposed on the side of the sliding baffle away from the housing and is connected to the housing.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the sliding baffle away from the slot protrudes outward to form a toggle portion.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting structure further includes an elastic element disposed in the sliding groove. One end of the elastic element is connected to the sliding baffle, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the sliding groove. The elastic element is configured to cause the sliding baffle to have a tendency to slide in the direction of the slot.

[0016] Preferably, the foot light further includes a waterproof sheet made of a light-transmitting material, which is inserted into the slot.

[0017] Preferably, sealing sleeves are fitted at both ends of the waterproof sheet.

[0018] Preferably, the foot light further includes a colored light strip, which is inserted into the slot.

[0019] Preferably, the damping hinge structure includes a damping shaft.

[0020] Preferably, the housing has wire grooves at both ends on the side away from the light-emitting window, and power connectors are provided in the wire grooves.

[0021] Preferably, the side of the housing away from the light-emitting window has a plurality of heat dissipation grooves.

[0022] The footlight described in this application has the advantage that, by setting a movable flip cover, which forms a damped hinge with the housing through a damped hinge structure, the movable flip cover can be suspended at any angle, thereby adjusting the angle at which the movable flip cover blocks the light source. After the light source is emitted, it is reflected by the inner side of the movable flip cover before being emitted. The emitted light of the footlight can be adjusted by rotating the movable flip cover. There is no need to set up a lamp foot assembly, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient installation. Moreover, the absence of a lamp foot assembly makes the overall height of the footlight lower, making it more suitable for stage footlight scenarios.

[0023] This application provides an installation structure for mounting sheet-like components at the light outlet window, which allows for the installation of colored light sheets. This solves the problem of inconvenient installation of colored light sheets in the prior art and also allows for the installation of waterproof sheets in rainy conditions. This effectively reduces the risk of water seepage and electrical leakage of footlights in rainy conditions, thus reducing safety hazards. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the footlight described in this application includes:

[0032] The housing 1 is elongated and has an inclined side surface with an elongated, perforated window on one side, which serves as a light-emitting window. The interior of the housing 1 is hollow for mounting other components. Outside the light-emitting window, the housing 1 also has a mounting structure 2 for mounting sheet-like components such as waterproof sheets and colored light sheets that are placed above the light-emitting window.

[0033] Light source 3 is specifically a long strip of light sheet. Light source 3 is set inside housing 1 and corresponds to the light output window. The plane of light source 3 is parallel to the plane of the light output window, so that the light output direction of light source 3 is outward from the light output window.

[0034] The movable flip cover 4 is elongated and covers the light-emitting window. The size of the movable flip cover 4 is adapted to the size of the light-emitting window so that the movable flip cover 4 can cover the light-emitting window. One edge of the movable flip cover 4 is connected to the housing 1 by a damping hinge structure 5.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, please refer to the detailed description. Figures 3-5 The mounting structure 2 specifically includes a fixing plate 21 and a sliding baffle 22. The housing 1 has slots 11 at both ends of the light-emitting window that are adapted to the sheet-like parts. Specifically, the slots 11 extend inward from both sides of the housing 1 to the side of the housing 1 and communicate with the space above the light-emitting window. The cross-sectional dimension of the slots 11 is slightly larger than the size of the sheet-like parts, so that the sheet-like parts can be inserted from the slots 11 on one side into the space above the light-emitting window. When the sheet-like parts are inserted from the slots 11 on one side into the slots 11 on the other side, the sheet-like parts cover the top of the light-emitting window, that is, cover the top of the light source 3.

[0036] To secure the sheet-like component and ensure its stable position after insertion into the slot 11, preventing displacement, the housing 1 in this embodiment also features a sliding groove 12 perpendicular to and communicating with the slot 11, forming a T-shaped groove structure. The fixing plate 21 is horizontally positioned, aligned with the slot 11 and perpendicular to the sliding groove 12, while the sliding baffle 22 is vertically positioned, aligned with the sliding groove 12. The sliding baffle 22 is slidably disposed within the sliding groove 12, forming a cross-shaped structure with the fixing plate 21 and the fixing plate 22 in a sliding fit. Specifically, the sliding baffle 22 is slidably disposed within the sliding groove 12 and can slide along the length of the groove 12. The fixing plate 21 is horizontally positioned outside the sliding baffle 22 and connected to the housing 1 by bolts to limit the sliding baffle 22 and prevent it from detaching from the sliding groove 12. Before inserting the sheet, move the sliding baffle 22 to the bottom of the sliding groove 12 so that the top of the sliding top plate is out of the slot 11. At this time, the slot 11 is exposed, and the sheet can be inserted into the slot 11. After the sheet is inserted into place, push the sliding baffle upward so that the top of the sliding baffle 22 enters the slot 11. That is, at this time, the top of the sliding baffle 22 is located at both ends of the sheet, fixing and limiting the sheet from both ends to prevent the sheet from dislodging from the slot 11.

[0037] To facilitate the movement of the sliding baffle 22, in this embodiment, the end of the sliding baffle 22 away from the slot 11 protrudes outward to form a toggle portion 221, which allows the sliding baffle 22 to be slidable by a finger. In a preferred embodiment, the sliding baffle 22 also has a spherical groove formed on one side of the toggle portion 221 to facilitate the insertion of a finger.

[0038] To further facilitate the installation of the sheet-like component and enable the sliding baffle 22 to automatically reset, in this embodiment, the mounting structure 2 also includes an elastic element (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the elastic element is a spring, disposed within the sliding groove 12. One end of the elastic element is connected to the sliding baffle 22, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the sliding groove 12. The elastic element is configured to cause the sliding baffle to have a tendency to slide towards the slot 11. The elastic element ensures that the sliding baffle 22 remains inserted into the slot 11 when no external force is applied. Therefore, after the sheet-like component is installed, there is no need to manually push the sliding baffle 22 upwards, making the installation of the sheet-like component easier.

[0039] To reduce the risk of water leakage and electrical leakage when the footlight is used outdoors in rainy weather, this embodiment of the footlight also includes a waterproof sheet. The waterproof sheet is made of a light-transmitting material, such as transparent plastic. The waterproof sheet is inserted into the aforementioned slot 11 and fixed by the mounting structure 2. The waterproof sheet can shield the top of the light-emitting window, preventing rainwater from directly entering the light-emitting window and contacting the light source 3, thus reducing the risk of electrical leakage.

[0040] To further enhance the waterproof sealing effect of the waterproof sheet, sealing sleeves made of rubber material are fitted at both ends of the waterproof sheet. The sealing sleeves can make the fit between the end of the waterproof sheet and the slot 11 tighter, reducing the risk of rainwater seeping in through the gaps in the slot 11.

[0041] In order to meet the requirements of different colors of light output, the foot light in this embodiment also includes a colored light sheet. The colored light sheet is a light-transmitting sheet with color, so that the light output of the light source 3 changes color after passing through the colored light sheet, thus meeting the requirements of different colors of light output.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the damping hinge structure 5 specifically includes a damping pivot, which has its own friction damping and serves as a connector between the movable flip cover 4 and the housing 1, allowing the sliding flip cover to be suspended at any angle.

[0043] Please refer to the detailed information. Figure 6 The housing 1 has wire grooves 13 on both ends of the back side away from the light-emitting window. Power connectors 14 are provided in the wire grooves 13. When power wiring and other connecting wires are connected to the power connectors 14, they are stored in the wire grooves 13 to avoid the wires being exposed.

[0044] Please continue reading. Figure 6 The side of the housing 1 away from the light-emitting window, i.e. the back, has several heat dissipation grooves 15. The heat dissipation grooves 15 are strip-shaped grooves that extend along the length of the housing 1. The heat dissipation grooves 15 are mainly used to increase the contact area between the back of the housing 1 and the external air, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the foot light.

[0045] In this embodiment, the footlight is installed at the front of the stage during use.

[0046] By rotating the movable flip cover 4, the relative angle between the movable flip cover 4 and the light source 3 can be adjusted. When the light source 3 is working, the emitted light will be partially blocked by the movable flip cover 4 and will also be reflected by the inner surface of the movable flip cover 4. The movable flip cover 4 can be adjusted to the required irradiation range of the emitted light as needed, thereby achieving adjustable emitted light.

[0047] When it is necessary to change the color of the emitted light, select the corresponding colored light sheet and insert it into the slot 11, and fix the colored light sheet through the mounting structure 2.

[0048] When used in rainy conditions, insert the waterproof sheet into the slot 11 and fix it in place by the mounting structure 2. This will prevent rainwater from directly entering the light outlet window and coming into contact with the light source 3, thus reducing the risk of electric leakage.

[0049] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms 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 the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
