It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] See appendix Figures 1 to 8 This utility model proposes an inflatable lamp, including a lampshade 1 and a light-emitting unit 2.

[0044] The lampshade 1 comprises at least three flexible covers 11, which together form a closed cavity 100. One flexible cover 11 is light-transmitting, while the others are opaque. The light-emitting unit 2 is located within the cavity 100 and emits light towards the light-transmitting flexible cover 11. Specifically, the flexible covers 11 are made of flexible material, and the lampshade 1 formed by the flexible covers 11 is also flexible. An inflation / deflation structure is installed on one of the flexible covers 11, allowing the user to inflate or deflate the cavity 100. When the cavity 100 is inflated, the lampshade 1 expands and takes its shape; when the gas in the cavity 100 is expelled, the lampshade 1 can be folded for storage.

[0045] The lampshade 1 is configured such that only one side is translucent while the other sides are opaque, so that the light generated by the light-emitting unit 2 in the cavity 100 will be concentrated on the translucent side and emitted, thereby achieving the purpose of directional light emission and reducing the useless dispersion of light.

[0046] Regarding the structure of lampshade 1, in some embodiments, please refer to the appendix. Figure 2The lampshade 1 is composed of four flexible covers 11, and the cross-section of the lampshade 1 is approximately rectangular. Specifically, the lampshade 1 includes a first flexible cover 111, a second flexible cover 112, a third flexible cover 113, and a fourth flexible cover 114, wherein the first flexible cover 111 is light-transmitting, and the second flexible cover 112, the third flexible cover 113, and the fourth flexible cover 114 are all opaque. Specifically, the first flexible cover 111 can be a transparent or translucent material of any color, while the second flexible cover 112, the third flexible cover 113, and the fourth flexible cover 114 are opaque materials of any color, and their materials can be PVC or TPU, etc.

[0047] The second flexible cover 112 is disposed opposite to the first flexible cover 111, and the third flexible cover 113 is disposed opposite to the fourth flexible cover 114. The third flexible cover 113 and the fourth flexible cover 114 are both connected to the first flexible cover 111 and the second flexible cover 112, so as to jointly form a lampshade 1 with a roughly rectangular cross-section. The aforementioned light-emitting unit 2 can be installed on any one of the second flexible cover 112, the third flexible cover 113, and the fourth flexible cover 114.

[0048] Preferably, in some embodiments, the light-emitting unit 2 is mounted on the second flexible cover 112, and the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting unit 2 faces the first flexible cover 111.

[0049] Regarding the mounting structure of the light-emitting unit 2 within the cavity 100, in some embodiments, please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 The lampshade 1 also includes a light-transmitting flexible sealing layer 12, which is fixed to the second flexible cover 112 by heat pressing. A first sealing cavity 101 is formed between the flexible sealing layer 12 and the second flexible cover 112, isolating the first sealing cavity 101 from the cavity 100. The light-emitting unit 2 is located in the first sealing cavity 101 and sandwiched between the flexible sealing layer 12 and the second flexible cover 112. Furthermore, when the inflatable lamp is in use, to prevent the light-emitting unit 2 from shaking in the cavity 100, the light-emitting unit 2 can also be fixed to the second flexible cover 112 by adhesive. Due to the presence of the flexible sealing layer 12, the first sealing cavity 101 is formed. When the cavity 100 is filled with air, the expansion amplitude of the connection between the second flexible cover 112 and the flexible sealing layer 12 is relatively small, reducing the risk of the light-emitting unit 2 detaching. Simultaneously, the air in the cavity 100 directly compresses the flexible sealing layer 12, thereby pressing against the light-emitting unit 2 and further positioning it.

[0050] In addition, the width of the flexible sealing layer 12 is less than half the width of the second flexible cover 12, while the width of the light-emitting unit 2 is close to the width of the flexible sealing layer 12, further preventing the light-emitting unit 2 from shifting.

[0051] Regarding the structure of lampshade 1, see the appendix for other embodiments. Figure 3 The lampshade 1 is composed of three flexible covers 11, and the cross-section of the lampshade 1 is approximately triangular. Specifically, the lampshade 1 includes a fifth flexible cover 115, a sixth flexible cover 116, and a seventh flexible cover 117, which together enclose a cavity 100. The fifth flexible cover 115 is light-transmitting, while the sixth and seventh flexible covers 116 and 117 are opaque. The light-emitting unit 2 can be installed on either the sixth or seventh flexible cover 116. Alternatively, more preferably, the light-emitting unit 2 can be installed at the junction of the sixth and seventh flexible covers 116 and 117, so that the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting unit 2 faces the fifth flexible cover 115. In this case, refer to the appendix. Figure 3 The flexible sealing layer 12 connects the sixth flexible cover 116 and the seventh flexible cover 117, and the flexible sealing layer 12, the sixth flexible cover 116 and the seventh flexible cover 117 together enclose and fix the light-emitting unit 2.

[0052] Understandably, in other embodiments, the lampshade 1 can also be composed of five, six or even more flexible covers 11. As long as one of the flexible covers 11 is light-transmitting, the purpose of focusing and directional light emission can be achieved.

[0053] In addition, in some embodiments, the edges of any two adjacent flexible covers 11 are connected by thermoforming, thereby connecting the multi-faceted flexible covers 11 into one unit to achieve sealing of the cavity 100.

[0054] Regarding the light-emitting unit 2, in some embodiments, the light-emitting unit 2 can be a flexible light strip, which is distributed along the length of the lampshade 1. Because the lampshade 1 is flexible, the light-emitting unit 2 is also flexible, which ultimately allows the inflatable lamp to be folded and stored arbitrarily after deflation.

[0055] Regarding the light-emitting unit 2, in other embodiments, see Appendix Figure 4 The light-emitting unit 2 includes several rigid lamp panels 21, each with several LEDs, and the rigid lamp panels 21 are flexibly connected by wires 22. Therefore, when the gas in the cavity 100 is discharged, the lamp cover 1 can be folded along the gap between adjacent rigid lamp panels 21.

[0056] Regarding the shape of the lampshade 1, in some embodiments, the lampshade 1 is elongated, and each flexible cover 11 is also elongated and sheet-like. After the flexible covers 11 are connected in sequence to form a cylinder, the two ends of the cylindrical structure are closed and sealed. This embodiment is not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Regarding the shape of the lampshade 1, see the appendix for other embodiments. Figure 1 and 2 The lampshade 1 is arranged in a ring shape, and each of the corresponding flexible cover bodies 11 is also arranged in a ring shape, thus forming a ring-shaped cavity 100. The light-emitting units 2 are also distributed in a ring shape in the cavity 100. In these embodiments, if the light-emitting units 2 are connected by rigid lamp plates 21 and flexible wires 22, the shape and distribution of each rigid lamp plate 21 can be designed according to the ring shape of the lampshade 1. The lampshade 1 can be circular, square, tripod, or other shapes, and can be a closed or open ring. For example, when the lampshade 1 is designed in a circular shape, the light-emitting unit 2 can be composed of four arc-shaped rigid lamp plates 21 and wires 22.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figures 5 to 7 The inflatable lamp also includes a power supply device 3, which is mounted on either side of the flexible cover 11 and electrically connected to the light-emitting unit 2. A control device 7 can also be provided, which can be integrated with the power supply device 3. The control device 7 adjusts the operating state of the light-emitting unit 2 and supplies power to it using the power supply device 3. The power supply device 3 can be sealed within the cavity 100 and employ a rechargeable design, eliminating the need to remove it; or it can be a replaceable battery structure, allowing users to quickly replace the battery outdoors, eliminating the need for charging.

[0059] In some embodiments, the power supply device 3 is detachably connected to the lamp cover 1. Specifically, the inflatable lamp also includes an electrical connection part 4, which is sealed and mounted on either side of the flexible cover 11. The electrical connection part 4 is electrically connected to the light-emitting unit 2. The power supply device 3 is detachably mounted on the flexible cover 11 and can be electrically connected to the electrical connection part 4. The electrical connection part 4 can specifically be an electrical contact structure, and the power supply device 3 also has a corresponding electrical contact structure. The electrical contact structures of the two devices come into contact with each other to achieve electrical connection between the power supply device 3 and the light-emitting unit 2.

[0060] Regarding the power supply device 3, in some embodiments, the power supply device 3 is located entirely outside the lampshade 1 for easy replacement. This embodiment is not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Regarding the power supply device 3, in some other embodiments, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, to save space, the power supply device 3 is partially exposed outside the lampshade 1. Specifically, the lampshade 1 also includes a sealing cover 13 and a mounting member 5. The sealing cover 13 is located within the cavity 100 and is connected to one of the flexible covers 11, for example, as shown in FIG. Figure 7The connection shown is on the second flexible cover 112. A second sealing cavity 102 is formed between the sealing cover 13 and the second flexible cover 112, so that the second sealing cavity 102 and the cavity 100 are isolated by the sealing cover 13. The light-emitting unit 2 and the electrical connection part 4 are both located in the second sealing cavity 102 or partially located in the second sealing cavity 102.

[0062] The electrical connection part 4 is disposed on the mounting part 5, which is located inside the second sealed cavity 102. The mounting part 5 is provided with a mounting cavity 51 for accommodating the power supply device 3. The mounting cavity 51 is provided with a mounting port 52 for connecting to the outside. The power supply device 3 is detachably installed in the mounting cavity 51. The mounting part 5 may be made of plastic. Specifically, the power supply device 3 can be detachably connected to the mounting part 5 by means of magnetic attraction, snap-fit, or other structures (the magnetic attraction and snap-fit ​​structures are not shown in the attached drawings), thereby realizing the housing of the power supply device 3 in the second sealed cavity 102 without causing the power supply device 3 to protrude excessively.

[0063] The presence of the sealing cover 13 provides an airtight separation between the second sealing cavity 102 and the cavity 100, preventing gas inside the cavity 100 from leaking to the outside through the gaps in the mounting component 5. Furthermore, the sealing cover 13 is integrally formed with the aforementioned flexible sealing layer 12, and connects the first sealing cavity 101 and the second sealing cavity 102 to facilitate connection between the electrical connection part 4 and the light-emitting unit 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, the power supply device 3 may also have a handle structure (not shown in the figures) on the side outside the lampshade 1 for the user to grip and use.

[0065] In some embodiments, the lampshade 1 does not have a power supply device 3, but only a power cord (not shown in the figure) is provided on the surface of the lampshade 1. The power cord is electrically connected to the light-emitting unit 2 and is used to connect to an external power source.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 8 The inflatable lamp also includes a support frame 6, on which the lampshade 1 is detachably mounted. The support frame 6 can be supported on the ground, and the end of the support frame 6 connected to the lampshade 1 can also be equipped with a rotating structure. The support frame 6 itself can also adopt a telescopic rod structure design to adjust the illumination angle and height of the inflatable lamp. In some embodiments, the power supply 3 can be fixed to the outside of the lampshade 1, and then the support frame 6 is installed with the power supply 3.

[0067] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any equivalent structures made using the content of this utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
