Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flashlights, specifically to a silicone flashlight. Background Technology

[0002] Flashlights, as portable lighting tools, are widely used in the field of lighting equipment technology. They achieve mobile lighting through the cooperation of a light source component and a power supply, providing users with a directional beam of light in dark environments, making them an indispensable basic tool in daily life and special scenarios. With technological advancements, the function of flashlights has expanded from simple illumination to multi-functional and personalized applications, but traditional structures still face significant technological bottlenecks.

[0003] Traditional flashlights typically consist of a metal or hard plastic casing, an LED light source module, a battery compartment, a switch, and a lens assembly. The casing is often made of aluminum alloy or engineering plastic and is assembled with internal components via threads or snap-fit ​​structures. The light source module contains an LED chip, a reflector, and a lens, and its brightness is adjusted via circuit control. The battery compartment typically uses AA / AAA batteries or lithium batteries for power, and is controlled by a tail switch for on / off switching.

[0004] However, most existing flashlights are single-function lighting tools, which have the following practical defects: While the hard shell of a flashlight provides some protection, it is prone to deformation, cracking, or displacement of internal components in accidental scenarios such as drops and impacts, leading to device failure. Some existing flashlights are covered with silicone protective sleeves for protection, but the connection structure between the sleeve and the flashlight is relatively simple. The sleeve is prone to loosening after long-term assembly and disassembly, affecting the positioning of the flashlight and the protective sleeve. This results in poor stability and reliability of the connection between the flashlight and the protective sleeve, thus affecting the user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a silicone flashlight with reliable and stable positioning. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide a silicone flashlight to solve the technical problems in the background art of how to improve the stability and reliability of the connection and installation of the silicone protective cover and the flashlight, as well as the efficiency of the connection and assembly.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:

[0007] A silicone flashlight includes a main body and a light source assembly disposed within the main body. A silicone protective sleeve is fitted onto the main body. The silicone protective sleeve has a socket hole for the main body to pass through, and one end of the silicone protective sleeve has an opening communicating with the socket hole. One end of the main body passes through the opening and is fitted into the socket hole via an insertion structure. A limiting structure that matches the insertion structure is provided in the socket hole, allowing the silicone protective sleeve to be detachably wrapped around the outside of the main body through the socket hole. The other end of the main body extends into the opening. The main body has a control part for controlling the light source assembly, and the silicone protective sleeve has a pressing part that matches the control part.

[0008] Furthermore, as described above, an installation cavity is formed within the main body of the cylinder, and the light source assembly is built into the installation cavity. The light source assembly includes a main control board, LED beads electrically connected to the main control board, and a battery pack for providing power to the LED beads. A control key is electrically connected to the main control board, and the end of the control key passes through the main body of the cylinder to form a control section. A charging interface is also electrically connected to the main control board.

[0009] The structure forms an installation cavity inside the main body of the tube and houses the light source assembly. By integrating key components such as the main control board, LED beads, and battery pack into the installation cavity, the risk of component displacement caused by deformation of the hard outer shell during drop impact is effectively avoided. At the same time, the end of the control key is exposed to form a control part to realize functional operation.

[0010] Furthermore, as described above, the insertion structure includes a guide groove and a positioning groove. One end of the main body of the cylinder is formed with a tapered insertion end. The guide groove and the positioning groove are disposed on the outer surface of the insertion end. The guide groove extends along the axial direction of the main body of the cylinder, so that one end of the guide groove extends from the insertion end to the other end of the main body of the cylinder. The positioning groove is arranged in a ring at the end of the insertion end.

[0011] The insertion structure adopts a tapered insertion end combined with an axial guide groove and an annular positioning groove. The axial extension of the guide groove enables precise insertion guidance, and the annular structure of the positioning groove forms a circumferential limit, solving the problem of easy loosening and falling out of the silicone protective sleeve in traditional simple sockets, thus improving the accuracy of socket positioning and long-term stability.

[0012] Furthermore, as described above, there are two guide grooves, which are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the insertion end, and the end of the insertion end is connected to the guide grooves.

[0013] The two symmetrically arranged guide grooves form a dual guide path during insertion. Combined with the annular locking design of the positioning groove, the mechanical interlocking principle enhances the torsional resistance after the connection, effectively preventing structural wear and positioning failure caused by frequent disassembly.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a guide protrusion and a positioning protrusion. The guide protrusion and the positioning protrusion are disposed on the inner wall of the socket hole. The end of the guide protrusion extends toward the opening, and the guide protrusion is paired with the guide groove so that the main body of the cylinder can be inserted along the guide protrusion through the guide groove. The positioning protrusion is arranged in a ring shape so that the insertion end passes through the socket hole and forms a locking pair with the positioning protrusion through the positioning groove.

[0015] The pairing of guide protrusions and positioning protrusions in the limiting structure enables rapid insertion and positioning through the extension of the front end of the guide protrusions, while the annular clamping of the positioning protrusions forms an axial lock. Combined with the annular structure of the positioning groove, this enhances the structural stability and impact resistance after the connection.

[0016] Furthermore, as described above, a limiting part is formed at the end of the socket near the opening, the main body of the cylinder is paired and inserted into the socket, and the end of the main body of the cylinder near the opening contacts and limits the limiting part.

[0017] The contact limit between the limiting part of the silicone protective sleeve and the end of the main body of the cylinder is limited by the mechanical stop principle to restrict the clamping and sleeve connection of the main body of the cylinder, further ensuring the stability and reliability of the sleeve connection between the main body of the cylinder and the silicone protective sleeve, preventing the silicone protective sleeve from falling off and improving the reliability of use.

[0018] Furthermore, as described above, the inner wall of the socket is formed with a guide post that contacts the control key. The guide post is paired with the pressing part so that the pressing part contacts the control key through the guide post. The silicone protective sleeve has a through hole for avoiding the charging opening.

[0019] The contact design between the guide post and the control button allows external pressure to be accurately transmitted to the control button via the pressing part of the silicone protective sleeve. This ensures operational sensitivity while avoiding the risk of damage to the control button caused by direct pressing. At the same time, the through hole avoids the charging interface, allowing the charging device to charge the battery pack.

[0020] Furthermore, as described above, the silicone protective sleeve is a one-piece injection-molded sleeve structure, and the shape of the silicone protective sleeve is any three-dimensional shape of an animal, plant, or cartoon doll.

[0021] The silicone protective sleeve features a one-piece injection-molded three-dimensional design, providing basic protection while enhancing visual appeal and personalization through three-dimensional animal / plant / cartoon shapes, thus improving product aesthetics and user experience.

[0022] Furthermore, as described above, the end of the silicone protective sleeve is provided with a hanging rope.

[0023] The end lanyard structure provides a portable solution through physical constraints, while the flexible connection between the lanyard and the silicone protective sleeve prevents structural damage caused by accidental pulling, enhancing the product's durability.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a limiting structure that matches the insertion structure of the main body of the flashlight in the socket of the silicone protective sleeve, the silicone protective sleeve can be detachably wrapped around the outside of the main body of the flashlight through the socket. The limiting structure can play a good limiting role for the insertion structure, ensuring the reliability and stability of the socket positioning between the silicone protective sleeve and the main body of the flashlight, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the flashlight and the protective sleeve, enhancing the user experience. In addition, an opening communicating with the socket is opened at one end of the silicone protective sleeve. The main body of the flashlight passes through the opening and is paired with the socket, and the socket structure is paired with the limiting structure, making the socketing method simple and convenient. Users can quickly complete the assembly of the silicone protective sleeve and the main body of the flashlight, improving the efficiency of socketing assembly. Through the socketing setting of the silicone protective sleeve, the phenomenon of device failure caused by the main body of the flashlight in accidental scenarios such as drops and impacts is reduced, ensuring the normal use of the flashlight.

[0035] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-6 A specific embodiment of the silicone flashlight includes a main body 1 and a light source assembly disposed within the main body 1. A silicone protective sleeve 2 is fitted onto the main body 1. The silicone protective sleeve 2 has a socket 3 for the main body 1 to pass through, and one end of the silicone protective sleeve 2 has an opening 4 communicating with the socket 3. One end of the main body 1 passes through the opening 4 and is fitted into the socket 3 via an insertion structure. A limiting structure is provided in the socket 3 to match the insertion structure, so that the silicone protective sleeve 2 can be detachably wrapped around the outside of the main body 1 through the socket 3. The other end of the main body 1 extends into the opening 4. The main body 1 is provided with a control part for controlling the light source assembly, and the silicone protective sleeve 2 is provided with a pressing part 5 that matches the control part. The pressing part 5 is used to control the switching and illumination of the light source assembly.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main body 1 of the cylinder is formed by matching and fastening an upper shell cover and a lower shell cover. The upper shell cover and the lower shell cover are connected and fixed by bolts, and an installation cavity 6 for setting the light source assembly is formed between the upper shell cover and the lower shell cover.

[0037] An installation cavity 6 is formed inside the main body 1 of the cylinder. The light source assembly is built into the installation cavity 6. The light source assembly includes a main control board 7, LED beads 8 electrically connected to the main control board 7, and a battery pack 9 for providing power to the LED beads 8. A control key 10 is electrically connected to the main control board 7. The end of the control key 10 passes through the main body 1 of the cylinder to form a control part. A charging interface 11 is also electrically connected to the main control board 7.

[0038] The main body 1 has a structure in which an installation cavity 6 is formed inside and a light source assembly is built in. By integrating key components such as the main control board 7, LED beads 8, and battery pack 9 into the installation cavity 6, the risk of component displacement caused by deformation of the hard shell during drop impact is effectively avoided. At the same time, the end of the control key 10 is exposed to form a control part to realize functional operation.

[0039] Specifically, a dust plug for pairing the charging port 11 is formed on the outer side of the silicone protective cover 2 near the through hole 19, so that the dust plug can be paired and installed with the charging port.

[0040] The insertion structure includes a guide groove 12 and a positioning groove 13. One end of the cylindrical body 1 is formed with a tapered insertion end 14. The guide groove 12 and the positioning groove 13 are disposed on the outer surface of the insertion end 14. The guide groove 12 extends along the axial direction of the cylindrical body 1, so that one end of the guide groove 12 extends from the insertion end 14 to the other end of the cylindrical body 1. The positioning groove 13 is arranged in a ring at the end of the insertion end 14.

[0041] The insertion structure adopts a tapered insertion end 14 combined with an axial guide groove 12 and an annular positioning groove 13. The axial extension of the guide groove 12 achieves precise insertion guidance, and the annular structure of the positioning groove 13 forms a circumferential limit, which solves the problem of easy loosening and falling out of the silicone protective sleeve 2 in traditional simple sockets, and improves the accuracy of socket positioning and long-term stability.

[0042] Two guide grooves 12 are provided, and the two guide grooves 12 are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the insertion end 14, and the end of the insertion end 14 is connected to the guide groove 12.

[0043] The two symmetrically arranged guide grooves 12 form a double guide path during the insertion process. Combined with the annular clamping design of the positioning groove 13, the mechanical interlocking principle enhances the anti-torsion ability after the sleeve is connected, effectively preventing structural wear and positioning failure caused by frequent disassembly.

[0044] The limiting structure includes a guide protrusion 15 and a positioning protrusion 16. The guide protrusion 15 and the positioning protrusion 16 are disposed on the inner wall of the socket 3. The end of the guide protrusion 15 extends toward the opening 4, and the guide protrusion 15 is paired with the guide groove 12 so that the main body 1 of the cylinder can be inserted along the guide protrusion 15 through the guide groove 12. The positioning protrusion 16 is arranged in a ring shape so that the insertion end 14 passes through the socket 3 and forms a locking pair with the positioning protrusion 16 through the positioning groove 13.

[0045] The pairing of the guide protrusion 15 and the positioning protrusion 16 in the limiting structure enables rapid insertion and positioning through the extension of the front end of the guide protrusion 15. The annular clamping of the positioning protrusion 16 forms an axial lock, which, together with the annular structure of the positioning groove 13, improves the structural stability and impact resistance after the sleeve is connected.

[0046] A limiting part 17 is formed at the end of the socket 3 near the opening 4. The main body 1 is fitted into the socket 3, and the end of the main body 1 near the opening 4 contacts and limits the connection with the limiting part 17. The contact limiting part 17 of the silicone protective sleeve 2 with the end of the main body 1 limits the clamping connection of the main body 1 through the mechanical stop principle, further ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the main body 1 and the silicone protective sleeve 2, preventing the silicone protective sleeve 2 from falling off, and improving the reliability of use.

[0047] The inner wall of the socket 3 is formed with a guide post 18 that contacts the control key 10. The guide post 18 is paired with the pressing part 5 so that the pressing part 5 contacts the control key 10 through the guide post 18. The silicone protective sleeve 2 is provided with a through hole 19 to avoid the charging opening 4.

[0048] The contact design between the guide post 18 and the control key 10 allows external pressure to be accurately transmitted to the control key 10 via the pressing part 5 of the silicone protective sleeve 2. This ensures operational sensitivity while avoiding the risk of damage to the control key 10 caused by direct pressing.

[0052] The specific operating principle in this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] The silicone protective sleeve 2 is integrally molded by injection molding, and the inside of the silicone protective sleeve 2 is provided with a socket hole 3 for inserting a flashlight. The socket hole 3 has raised guide protrusions 15 and positioning protrusions 16. The light source assembly is built into the body body 1, and the insertion end 14 of the body body 1 is inserted into the socket hole 3 through the opening 4. Through the matching of the guide protrusion 15 and the guide groove 12, the guide protrusion 15 moves along the guide groove 12, so that the body body 1 is inserted into the socket hole 3. When the end of the insertion end 14 is inserted to the limit, the positioning groove 13 of the body body 1 matches and holds with the positioning protrusion 16. At the same time, the end of the body body 1 near the opening 4 contacts the limiting part 17 of the socket hole 3, thereby completing the rapid assembly of the body body 1 and the silicone protective sleeve 2.

[0054] By setting a limiting structure in the socket 3 of the silicone protective sleeve 2 to match the insertion structure of the main body 1, the silicone protective sleeve 2 can be detachably wrapped around the outside of the main body 1 through the socket 3. The limiting structure can play a good limiting role for the insertion structure, ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection and positioning between the silicone protective sleeve 2 and the main body 1.
