[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lever flashlight that solves the problem that traditional flashlights mostly use a single button for control, requiring multiple presses to achieve on / off and dimming functions, which is cumbersome to operate and makes it difficult to quickly and accurately switch modes, especially in emergency situations.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model relates to a lever flashlight, comprising an inner tube, an aluminum alloy outer shell mounted on the outer surface of the inner tube, an output end of the inner tube with a lighting component installed inside the aluminum alloy outer shell, an input end of the inner tube with a charging port, a charging indicator light mounted on the outer surface of the inner tube extending to the outer surface of the aluminum alloy outer shell, a button PCBA board fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the inner tube, a control component mounted on the button PCBA board, the control component including a dimming button and a power button, the power button being mounted in the middle of the button PCBA board, two dimming buttons fixedly mounted on the upper surfaces of both ends of the button PCBA board, and a lever assembly mounted inside the aluminum alloy outer shell, the pressing end of the lever assembly being positioned above the button end of the control component.

[0006] Furthermore, the lever assembly includes a mounting base installed inside an aluminum alloy housing. A lever is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base, extending to the outer surface of the aluminum alloy housing. Three pressing protrusions are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the mounting base.

[0007] Furthermore, the lever assembly also includes a silicone button, which is installed inside the aluminum alloy housing and positioned above the control assembly. First silicone bumps are fixedly installed on the lower surfaces of both ends of the silicone button, and a second silicone bump is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the middle portion of the silicone button. The positions of the two first silicone bumps correspond to the two dimming buttons and the pressing bumps at both ends of the mounting base, respectively. The position of the second silicone bump corresponds to the pressing bump in the middle of the mounting base and the switch button.

[0008] Furthermore, a metal pen clip is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the aluminum alloy housing.

[0009] Furthermore, a rubber plug is movably installed on the outer surface of the aluminum alloy housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the rubber plug is inserted into the inside of the charging port.

[0011] Furthermore, the lighting assembly includes a lamp plate holder, which is installed at the output end of the inner liner. A lamp plate is installed on one side of the lamp plate holder, an O-ring is installed on the outer surface of the lamp plate holder, a reflector is installed on one side of the lamp plate, and a lens cup is installed at one end of the reflector.

Its outer surface is meticulously designed to secure the button PCBA board, house the charging interface and indicator lights, ensuring the structural integrity and electrical reliability of each functional module. It serves as the structural hub connecting the front-end lighting components and the rear-end control components.

[0020] Aluminum alloy outer shell 5: It bears the dual responsibility of main support and external protection. It is made of high-strength aluminum alloy material and CNC machined. It not only provides a sturdy frame to ensure the structural strength and impact resistance of the product, but also has excellent heat dissipation characteristics, which can dissipate the heat generated by the lamp panel in time. Its interior is precision machined for precise installation and fixation of the inner shell, lever assembly and lighting assembly. It is the main sealing structure to achieve the IPX5 waterproof rating.

[0021] The lever assembly 7 includes a mounting base 701, which is installed inside the aluminum alloy housing 5. A lever 702 is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base 701 and extends to the outer surface of the aluminum alloy housing 5. Pressing protrusions 703 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the mounting base 701, and the number of pressing protrusions 703 is fixed to three. The aluminum alloy outer shell 5 is composed of two half shells, and a slot 501 is provided on the half shell. A protrusion 502 is installed on the inner side of the slot. The middle part of the mounting base 701 is locked in the slot 501, and the side of the mounting base 701 is provided with a long slot 707 that cooperates with the protrusion 502.

[0022] Toggle assembly 7: This is the core human-machine interface component for achieving innovative interactive control. The mounting base 701, made of engineering plastic, serves as the base, upon which the toggle 702 is mounted as the actuator for direct user operation. The ingenious feature of this assembly lies in the three pressing protrusions 703 integrated on its lower surface. These protrusions act as a medium for force transmission, precisely translating the toggle's movements—upward, downward, and pressing—into triggering the silicone button below. Its structural design ensures a clear tactile feedback and reliable reset during operation.

[0023] The lever assembly 7 also includes a silicone button 704, which is installed inside the aluminum alloy housing 5 and positioned above the control assembly 4. First silicone bumps 705 are fixedly installed on the lower surfaces of both ends of the silicone button 704, and a second silicone bump 706 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the middle part of the silicone button 704. The positions of the two first silicone bumps 705 correspond to the two dimming buttons 401 and the pressing bumps 703 at both ends of the mounting base 701, respectively. The position of the second silicone bump 706 corresponds to the pressing bump 703 in the middle of the mounting base 701 and the switch button 402. Silicone button 704: A key sealing and force transmission component located between the lever assembly and the PCBA board. It utilizes the elasticity and flexibility of the silicone material itself to achieve two core functions: first, it transmits pressing pressure through its own deformation; second, it acts as a soft barrier, tightly covering the PCBA board to effectively prevent moisture and dust intrusion, significantly improving the product's sealing and protection level. The first silicone bump 705 and the second silicone bump 706 integrated on it are used for precise alignment and triggering of the micro switch, while providing a comfortable operating feel.

[0024] A metal pen clip 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the aluminum alloy housing 5; A rubber stopper 8 is movably installed on the outer surface of the aluminum alloy housing 5; The rubber plug 8 is inserted into the charging port 101; Metal Pen Clip 6: A portable functional component made of flexible metals such as stainless steel. Its design incorporates bending and flexibility, providing sufficient clamping force to securely clip the flashlight to a pocket, backpack, or belt for easy carrying and access. Its metal material also ensures durability and fatigue resistance.

[0025] Rubber plug 8: A dedicated waterproof protective cover for the charging port, made of soft and elastic rubber material. Its size is precisely matched with the charging port. When inserted into the charging port, it can produce an interference fit, forming an effective physical isolation and seal to prevent water and dust from entering the inner shell from the charging port. It is an indispensable component in maintaining the overall IPX5 waterproof performance of the flashlight.

[0026] The lighting assembly 2 includes a lamp holder 201, which is installed at the output end of the inner tube 1. A lamp plate 202 is installed on one side of the lamp holder 201. An O-ring 203 is installed on the outer surface of the lamp holder 201. A reflector 204 is installed on one side of the lamp plate 202. A lens cup 205 is installed at one end of the reflector 204. The lens cup 205 is installed inside one end of the aluminum alloy outer shell 5. Lighting Component 2: The flashlight's optical output module, responsible for efficiently converting electrical energy into light energy. The lamp board 202 integrates a high-performance LED chip and is the light source generator. The lamp board holder 201 provides a stable installation and electrical connection for the lamp board and bears the main heat conduction path. The reflector 204 collects and reflects the light emitted by the LED, initially shaping the light spot. The lens cup 205 performs final shaping and focusing of the beam, determining the angle and effect of the emitted light. The O-ring 203, installed at the mating point between the lamp board holder and the housing, is a key static seal ensuring the front-end lighting compartment achieves an IPX5 waterproof rating.

[0027] Working principle: In use, when the user moves the lever 702 up or down, the lever tilts, causing one end of the mounting base 701 to press down. The pressing protrusion 703 at this end presses down the corresponding first silicone protrusion 705, thereby triggering a dimming button 401 on the lower button PCBA board 3. The PCBA board generates a "brighten" or "diminish" dimming signal. When the user presses the lever vertically in the middle position, the pressing protrusion 703 in the middle of the mounting base 701 presses down the second silicone protrusion 706, thereby triggering the lower switch button 402. The PCBA board generates an "on" or "off" switch signal. After adjustment, the mounting base 701 resets due to the elasticity of the silicone button 704. This allows for single-finger operation of all functions—upward dimming, middle-press switch, and downward dimming—with clear logic and convenient blind operation, greatly improving efficiency and safety in dark environments or emergency situations. These electrical signals are received by the control circuit in the inner tube 1, ultimately controlling the lamp of the lighting component 2. The board 202 enables operations such as switching on and off and changing brightness levels. An external power source is connected via the charging port 101 on the inner chamber 1 to charge the built-in battery. The charging status is displayed by the charging indicator light 102; a solid red light indicates charging, and a solid green light indicates fully charged, allowing the user to intuitively understand the charging progress. The built-in battery powers the lighting component 2 and the entire control system, enabling the flashlight's portable lighting function. The front lighting compartment is sealed by an O-ring 203 on the outer surface of the lamp holder 201, and the charging port 101 is sealed with a movable rubber plug 8 to prevent water intrusion. The overall structural design ensures the flashlight achieves an IPX5 waterproof rating, preventing harmful effects from water sprayed from all directions. The built-in rechargeable battery is charged via the charging port 101, and the charging indicator light 102 displays the charging status (red light for charging, green light for fully charged). The rubber plug 8 inserted into the charging port ensures an IPX5 waterproof rating. The metal clip 6 allows the flashlight to be clipped to clothing for easy carrying. The overall structure is compact and the operation is intuitive.
