It is understood that the terms "a" and "an" should be interpreted as meaning that a number of one element or element is one in one embodiment, while a number of other elements is one in another embodiment, and the terms "a" and "an" should not be interpreted as limiting the number.

Referring to fig. 1 to 6, a lighting device 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The illumination direction of the lighting device 1 can be conveniently adjusted.

Specifically, the lighting device 1 includes a supporting component 10, a mounting component 20, and at least one light-emitting component 30, wherein at least a portion of the light-emitting component 30 is capable of emitting light, and the light-emitting component 30 is mounted on the supporting component 10 through the mounting component 20. The support assembly 10 can support the light emitting assembly 30 on a ground, a wall, or the like.

With the support assembly 10, the light emitting assembly 30 is rotatably supported on the support assembly 10 relative to the support assembly 10.

In detail, the mounting assembly 20 is rotatably coupled to the support assembly 10. When the mounting component 20 rotates relative to the support component 10, the light emitting component 30 located on the mounting component 20 can rotate along with the mounting component 20, so that the position of the light emitting component 30 changes relative to the support component 10.

The light emitting assembly 30 is rotatably coupled to the mounting assembly 20. The position of the light emitting assembly 30 at the mounting assembly 20 changes relative to the support assembly 10 as the light emitting assembly 30 rotates relative to the mounting assembly 20.

For the light emitting assembly 30, when the light emitting assembly 30 radiates outwards to illuminate, the orientation of the light emitting assembly 30 can be changed not only with the rotation of the mounting assembly 20 relative to the support assembly 10, but also with the rotation of the light emitting assembly 30 relative to the mounting assembly 20, so that the illumination direction of the light emitting assembly 30 can be adjusted in multiple directions.

More specifically, the mounting assembly 20 is rotatably supported on the support assembly 10 about a rotational axis X1, and the light emitting assembly 30 is rotatably supported on the mounting assembly 20 about a mounting axis X2. When the mounting assembly 20 rotates around the rotation axis X1, taking the example that the lighting device 1 is placed on the ground as an example, the light emitting assembly 30 located on the mounting assembly 20 moves in pitch relative to the ground.

The mounting assembly 20 includes a mounting seat 21 and a mounting portion 22, wherein the mounting portion 22 is configured to extend from the mounting seat 21 toward one side of the mounting seat 21. The mounting portion 22 is used for mounting to the supporting component 10, and the mounting seat 21 is used for mounting the light emitting component 30. The mount 21 is connected to the mount 22. The mounting seat 21 and the mounting portion 22 may be integrally formed or may be a split structure. Preferably, the mounting seat 21 is integrally formed on the mounting portion 22, so as to facilitate the connection strength between the mounting seat 21 and the mounting portion 22.

The mounting portion 22 protrudes from the mounting seat 21, and by virtue of the connection between the mounting portion 22 and the supporting component 10, the mounting seat 21 is rotatably supported on the supporting component 10 relative to the supporting component 10.

The mounting portion 22 is rotatably supported on the support assembly 10 about the rotation axis X1, and the mounting seat 21 is located on the peripheral side of the rotation axis X1. That is, the mount 21 is rotatably held on the peripheral side of the rotation axis X1 about the rotation axis X1.

In other words, the mounting assembly 20 is supported on the support assembly 10 with the axis of rotation X1 extending between the respective connections of the mounting assembly 20 and the support assembly 10. The rotation axis X1 passes through the mounting portion 22 of the mounting assembly 20, the mounting seat 21 of the mounting assembly 20 is located outside the rotation axis X1, and when the mounting seat 21 moves relative to the supporting assembly 10 with the rotation between the mounting portion 22 and the supporting assembly 10, it is equivalent to moving along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis X1.

The distance from the mounting seat 21 to the rotation axis X1 can be set according to the requirement, and when the number of the light emitting assemblies 30 mounted on the mounting seat 21 is larger or the weight of the light emitting assemblies 30 is larger, the distance from the mounting seat 21 to the rotation axis X1 can be larger to facilitate the mounting seat 21 and the light emitting assemblies 30 to be stably supported on the support assembly 10.

In other words, the center of gravity of the lighting device 1 is greatly affected by the mounting assembly 20 and the light emitting assembly 30 for the entire lighting device 1. Taking the lighting device 1 as an example of being placed on the ground, the supporting component 10 supports the mounting component 20 and the light emitting component 30 on the ground.

There are three main relative positions of the mounting base 21 and the supporting component 10 of the lighting device 1, one is that the mounting base 21 is located in front of the supporting component 10, one is that the mounting base 21 is located above the supporting component 10, and the other is that the mounting base 21 is located behind the supporting component 10. When the mounting seat 21 is located in front of or behind the supporting component 10, the connection between the mounting portion 22 and the supporting component 10 will receive the forward or backward acting force from the mounting seat 21 and the light emitting component 30 due to the weight of the mounting seat 21 plus the weight of the light emitting component 30.

The support assembly 10 is specifically designed to provide a stable support for the mount 21 and the light emitting assembly 30.

Specifically, the support assembly 10 includes a support base 11 and two support arms 12, wherein the two support arms 12 are located at two sides and extend upward from the support base 11. The mounting portion 22 of the mounting assembly 20 is supported by the two support arms 12 respectively on the support base 11. The two support arms 12 are respectively located at both sides of the mounting portion 22 to be stably supported to the mounting portion 22 of the mounting assembly 20, thereby facilitating to stably support the mounting seat 21 and the light emitting assembly 30 which are connected to the mounting portion 22 and located at the outer side.

The axis of rotation X1 extends between the two support arms 12 and through the junction between the two support arms 12 and the mounting portion 22. The mounting seat 21 is located on the peripheral side of the rotation axis X1, so that the mounting seat 21 is always kept at a certain distance from the rotation axis X1 during rotation, to facilitate the escape between the mounting seat 21 and the support arm 12.

In order for the mounting base 21 and the light emitting assembly 30 to be stably supported on the support assembly 10, the support arm 12 is designed as a triangular mechanism. The support arm 12 includes a support frame, wherein the support frame includes a first support frame, a second support frame and a third support frame, the first support frame, the second support frame and the third support frame form a triangular structure, and the mounting assembly 20 is supported at an end of the triangular structure.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the manner in which the support assembly 10 supports the mounting assembly 20 is not limited to the examples described above. The number of the support arms 12 of the support assembly 10 is one or three or even more. When the mounting assembly 20 is supported by the support assembly 10, the mounting seat 21 of the mounting assembly 20 performs a "pitch" or "tilt" motion relative to the support assembly 10. The support arm 12 of the support assembly 10 may be located outside the mounting portion 22, or the mounting portion 22 may be located outside the support arm 12.

Further, the light emitting module 30 mounted to the mount base 21 of the mount module 20 is rotatably held on the peripheral side of the rotation axis X1 about the mount axis X2.

Specifically, the light emitting assembly 30 is mounted to the mounting seat 21, and the mounting seat 21 is spaced from the rotation axis X1, that is, a connecting portion between the supporting arm 12 of the supporting assembly 10 and the mounting portion 22 of the mounting assembly 20 is spaced from the mounting seat 21. When the mounting seat 21 is rotated by the relative rotation of the mounting portion 22 and the supporting member 10, the light emitting member 30 located in the mounting seat 21 is rotated relative to the rotating shaft about the rotating axis X1. That is, the light emitting module 30 is rotatably held on the peripheral side of the rotation axis X1 about the rotation axis X1.

More specifically, the light emitting module 30 includes a light emitting portion 31 and an assembling portion 32, wherein the light emitting portion 31 is connected to the assembling portion 32, and the assembling portion 32 is mounted to the mounting seat 21 of the mounting module 20.

The assembling portion 32 includes a first mounting end 321 and a second mounting end 322, wherein the first mounting end 321 and the second mounting end 322 are respectively located at two ends, the mounting axis X2 passes through the first mounting end 321 and the second mounting end 322 of the assembling portion 32, and the light emitting assembly 30 is rotatably mounted to the mounting seat 21 about the mounting axis X2.

Further, the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting module 30 is located on the peripheral side of the mounting axis X2 and is rotatable in the circumferential direction of the mounting axis X2, and the mounting axis X2 passes through the assembling portion 32 of the light emitting module 30.

The mounting base 21 provides a mounting space for the light emitting assembly 30, and it is understood that the number of the mounting spaces may be plural, that is, the number of the light emitting assemblies 30 that can be mounted on the mounting base 21 is plural.

When the number of the light emitting assemblies 30 of the lighting device 1 is plural, the lighting device 1 can provide not only illumination in one orientation, but also illumination in plural orientations, and the orientations of different light emitting assemblies 30 can be adjusted to meet different requirements, for example, one light emitting assembly 30 is adjusted in orientation, and another light emitting assembly 30 can be kept in original orientation.

Specifically, at least two of the light emitting elements 30 are mounted on the mount 21. Preferably, the light emitting assembly 30 is mounted at a peripheral position of the mounting seat 21. Of course, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the light emitting assembly 30 can also be mounted at a non-peripheral position of the mounting base 21, for example, the mounting base 21 surrounds to form a receiving space 210 for mounting the light emitting assembly 30, but mounting the light emitting assembly 30 at the non-peripheral position of the mounting base 21 may mean that a larger space needs to be reserved for the mounting base 21 to obtain the light emitting assembly 30 with a larger illumination variable range, compared with mounting the light emitting assembly 30 at the peripheral position of the mounting base 21.

In detail, when the light emitting module 30 is mounted at the peripheral position of the mounting seat 21, the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting module 30 can rotate around the mounting axis X2 to rotate from one side of the mounting seat 21 to the opposite side of the mounting seat 21. The circumference of the mounting seat 21 is recessed inward to form the receiving space 210 for mounting the assembling portion 32 of the light emitting assembly 30. The light emitting part 31 of the light emitting assembly 30 may be exposed to the outside.

In order to achieve the same illumination variation effect, if the light emitting device 30 is installed at a non-peripheral position, for example, a middle position of the installation seat 21, the accommodating space 210 needs to be designed to be larger to accommodate the assembling portion 32 and the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting device 30, thereby being disadvantageous to providing a space utilization rate of the installation seat 21.

Further, when the light emitting elements 30 are mounted on the mounting seat 21, the light emitting elements 30 can be rotated to the same orientation. In this way, the lighting device 1 can meet the user's high intensity lighting needs for one orientation. Of course, the light emitting assembly 30 can be adjusted to face different directions to meet the user's requirement.

Specifically, the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting element 30 has a light emitting surface 311 corresponding to the mounting axis X2 of each light emitting element 30 being located on the same plane. When the light emitting assembly 30 rotates along with the mounting axis X2, the light emitting assembly 30 can rotate to be located on the same plane as the light emitting surface 311 of each light emitting assembly 30, so that a plurality of light emitting assemblies 30 can radiate light in the same direction.

To facilitate the operation of the user, the mounting base 21 has at least one limiting groove 2100, wherein the mounting base 21 has a top surface 211 and a bottom surface 212, wherein the top surface 211 and the bottom surface 212 of the mounting base 21 are opposite to each other, the mounting base 21 extends to the bottom surface 212 of the mounting base 21, and the limiting groove 2100 is formed in the top surface 211 of the mounting base 21.

At least a portion of the top surface 211 of the mounting seat 21 is inwardly recessed to form the stopper groove 2100, and the stopper groove 2100 has a certain area and depth. When the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting element 30 rotates to move to the side of the top surface 211 of the mounting seat 21, it is accommodated in the stopper groove 2100 while moving toward the top surface 211 of the mounting seat 21, and is partially stopped by the top surface 211 of the mounting seat 21 where the stopper groove 2100 is formed so as not to move further.

By presetting the position of the limiting groove 2100, when a user needs to keep the light emitting assembly 30 in the same orientation, the user directly rotates the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting assembly 30 to the position of the limiting groove 2100 of the mounting base 21 so as to conveniently control the light emitting surface 311 to be located in the same orientation.

In the present embodiment, the number of the light emitting elements 30 is three, and it is preferable that when the light emitting surfaces 311 of the light emitting elements 30 are located on the same plane, the distances between the adjacent light emitting elements 30 are the same, that is, the angle between the adjacent light emitting elements 30 is 120 degrees. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the number of the light emitting elements 30 may be one, two, or more. The distance between adjacent light emitting assemblies 30 can be set according to requirements.

Each of the light emitting elements 30 is independently rotatably mounted to the mounting base 21. The rotation of one of the light emitting assemblies 30 does not affect the orientation of the other light emitting assemblies 30. Each of the light emitting elements 30 may rotate independently or simultaneously. For example, a user may operate the rotation between the mounting portion 22 and the support assembly 10 to achieve simultaneous rotation of all the light emitting assemblies 30, or a user may operate the rotation between the light emitting assemblies 30 and the mounting seat 21 of the mounting assembly 20 to achieve rotation of a single light emitting assembly 30.

In the present embodiment, the mounting axes X2 corresponding to three light emitting assemblies 30 form a triangle. That is, each of the light emitting elements 30 can rotate around one side of the corresponding triangle.

Viewed from another perspective, the mounting seat 21 has a central axis, wherein the central axis passes through the top surface 211 and the bottom surface 212 of the mounting seat 21, respectively, and the light emitting assemblies 30 mounted at the peripheral positions of the mounting seat 21 are located at the peripheral sides of the central axis, respectively. In the present embodiment, the mounting axes X2 corresponding to three light emitting assemblies 30 respectively surround the central axis of the mounting seat 21. The light emitting module 30 is rotatable by a predetermined angle along the mounting axis X2 on the peripheral side of the central axis of the mounting base 21.

The range of the rotation angle of the light emitting assembly 30 around the mounting axis X2 is 0 to 360 °, and the range of the rotation angle of the light emitting assembly 30 can be set as required. In the present embodiment, the angular rotation range of the light emitting assembly 30 is less than 360 ° due to the blocking effect of the mounting seat 21.

Further, the lighting device 1 can effectively dissipate heat to avoid heat accumulating at a certain position, which affects the service life of the whole lighting device 1.

Specifically, the light emitting module 30 is attached to the mount 21, and when the lighting device 1 operates, a large amount of heat is generated at the position of the light emitting section 31 of the light emitting module 30. Since the three light emitting assemblies 30 are independently disposed on the mounting seat 21, a certain distance is maintained between the adjacent light emitting assemblies 30, so that interference between the adjacent light emitting assemblies 30 is less, and heat accumulation is avoided. Further, each of the light emitting assemblies 30 can be rotated according to the requirement, that is, the distance between adjacent light emitting assemblies 30 can be increased, for example, one light emitting assembly 30 is located on one side of the mounting seat 21, and the other light emitting assembly 30 is located on the other side of the mounting seat 21, so as to reduce the possibility of heat accumulation when the number of the light emitting assemblies 30 is large.

The mounting base 21 may also assist in dissipating heat from the light emitting assembly 30 to avoid heat build-up between the mounting base 21 and the light emitting assembly 30. Specifically, the mount 21 of the mount assembly 20 includes a first mount housing 213 and a second mount housing 214 and has a receiving cavity 21000, wherein the first mount housing 213 is mounted to the second mount housing 214 and forms the receiving cavity 21000, and when the light emitting assembly 30 is located on the first mount housing 213 side or the second mount housing 214 side, heat from the light emitting assembly 30 is conducted to the mount 21. The mounting seat 21 further includes a plurality of heat dissipation ribs 215, and the heat dissipation ribs 215 are respectively located on the first mounting housing 213 and/or the second mounting housing 214. The heat dissipation ribs 215 may be located inside the accommodation chamber 21000 or outside the accommodation chamber 21000. The heat dissipation ribs 215 of the mount 21 may assist in dissipating heat from the light emitting assembly 30.

Further, the mounting portion 22 of the mounting assembly 20 has a receiving cavity 220, wherein the receiving cavity 220 can be used for receiving some electronic components. Preferably, the mounting portion 22 is integrally formed on the first mounting housing 213 of the mounting base 21, and the mounting portion 22 is formed by protruding and extending the first mounting housing 213 outwards. The housing cavity 220 of the mounting portion 22 of the mounting unit 20 communicates with the housing cavity 21000 of the mounting base 21, so that the electronic component located in the housing cavity 220 of the mounting portion 22 can easily reach the housing cavity 21000 of the mounting base 21, and communicates with the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting unit 30 supported by the mounting base 21.

The lighting device 1 further includes a battery module 40, wherein the battery module 40 is electrically connected to the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting module 30.

The battery assembly 40 is mounted to the support assembly 10, and the battery assembly 40 is detachably mounted to the support assembly 10.

Specifically, the supporting base 11 of the supporting component 10 has a receiving cavity 110, wherein the receiving cavity 110 is used for receiving the battery component 40. The battery assembly 40 has a large mass and volume, so that the battery assembly 40 is disposed at the lower position of the support base 11 of the support assembly 10 to facilitate lowering the center of gravity of the whole lighting device 1, thereby facilitating the stability of the lighting device 1 when placed on the ground.

The battery module 40 supplies electric power to the light emitting part 31 of the light emitting module 30, and when the energy in the battery module 40 is exhausted, the battery module 40 can be detached from the support base 11 of the support module 10 to replace a new fully charged battery module 40.

It should be noted that the battery assembly 40 and the light emitting assembly 30, the mounting assembly 20 and the supporting assembly 10 of the lighting device 1 can be used separately, and the battery assembly 40 can be used as an independent power supply device, that is, the battery assembly 40 can not only supply power to the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting assembly 30, but also be used for other devices requiring power driving, such as electronic devices like mobile phones and mobile notebook computers.

The battery assembly 40 may be used as an emergency power source to provide power in a timely manner when power is unavailable to a user.

The light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting module 30 can be supplied with power from the power grid through a power cord alone for normal operation, and can be charged through the power cord when the battery module 40 is low in power.

It is worth mentioning that the lighting device 1 is designed in a structure such that providing enough space for the battery assembly 40 enables the components of the lighting device 1 to be designed more compactly, thereby utilizing space as efficiently as possible.

Specifically, the receiving cavity 110 is located between the two supporting arms 12 of the supporting assembly 10, and the battery assembly 40 received in the receiving cavity 110 is located between the two supporting arms 12 of the supporting assembly 10, so as to facilitate stabilizing the center of gravity of the whole lighting device 1.

The battery assembly 40 includes a battery cover 41 and a battery 42, wherein the battery 42 is received in the receiving cavity 110 of the supporting base 11. The receiving cavity 110 has a receiving cavity opening 1100, and the battery cover 41 is disposed on the supporting seat 11 to control the opening and closing of the receiving cavity 110.

When the battery cover 41 is not covered on the receiving cavity 1100, the receiving cavity 1100 is exposed to allow the battery 42 to be placed in the receiving cavity 110 of the support base 11. When the battery cover 41 covers the receiving cavity opening 1100, the battery 42 in the receiving cavity 110 cannot be taken out.

The supporting arms 12 are located at the left and right sides of the supporting base 11. The mounting portion 22 of the mounting assembly 20 is located at an upper side of the support base 11. The receiving cavity 1100 is located at the front side or the rear side of the supporting seat 11 between the two supporting arms 12 of the supporting assembly 10.

For the user, when taking out the battery 42 or placing the battery 42 in the receiving cavity 110, the battery 42 needs to be transversely pulled out from the bottom of the lighting device 1 or transversely fed in. That is, the battery 42 is laterally disposed on the support base 11, and in this way, the height of the whole lighting device 1 is advantageously reduced. That is, the battery 42 is accommodated in the accommodation chamber 110 in a horizontal manner. The battery 42 occupies a larger dimension in the horizontal direction, thereby facilitating a reduction in the dimension occupied by the battery 42 in the height direction.

Optionally, the battery 42 is received in the receiving cavity 110 in a horizontally inclined manner to reduce the possibility of moisture entering the battery 42. Specifically, the receiving cavity opening 1100 of the receiving cavity 110 is formed in the support seat 11 in an obliquely downward direction. When the battery 42 needs to be installed in the receiving cavity 110, the user needs to push the battery 42 into the receiving cavity 110 obliquely upward. In this way, moisture is difficult to accumulate around the battery 42 because the moisture naturally slides down obliquely under the force of gravity to leave the battery 42. Meanwhile, the battery 42 is convenient to take out from the containing cavity 110, and the battery 42 naturally slides downwards in an inclined way under the action of gravity to leave the containing cavity 110.

Further, referring to fig. 4 with emphasis, the battery assembly 40 includes a battery cover locking fitting 43, and the battery cover locking fitting 43 includes a first battery cover locking member 431 and a second battery cover locking member 432, and the first battery cover locking member 431 and the second battery cover locking member 432 can be locked to each other. Specifically, one end of the battery cover 41 is coupled to the support base 11, and the other end of the battery cover 41 is movably coupled to the support base 11. The first battery cover locking member 431 is provided at the movable end of the battery cover 41, and the second battery cover locking member 432 is provided at the support base 11. When the battery cover 41 covers the receiving cavity 1100 of the supporting seat 11, the first battery cover locking member 431 and the second battery cover locking member 432 can be locked to fix the battery cover 41 to the supporting seat 11, so as to retain the battery 42 in the receiving cavity 110 of the supporting seat 11. When the battery 42 in the receiving cavity 110 of the supporting seat 11 needs to be taken out, the first battery cover locking piece 431 and the second battery cover locking piece 432 are operated to be separated to open the battery cover 41, so that the battery 42 is taken out from the receiving cavity 110.

Alternatively, the battery cover 41 is rotatably connected to the support base 11. The battery cover 41 may be pivotally connected to the support base 11. Further, the battery cover 41 is connected to the support base 11 to be rotatable up and down. The light emitting component 30 and the mounting component 20 are located above the supporting seat 11, and the battery cover 41 can abut against the lower portion of the mounting seat 21 of the mounting component 20. The battery cover 41 can provide partial support for the mounting base 21, so as to reduce the load on the supporting arm 12 of the supporting assembly 10, and the battery cover 41 can also limit the rotation angle of the mounting base 21, so that the mounting base 21 can be abutted against the battery cover 41 in a natural state and cannot rotate towards the battery cover 41 continuously.

The battery cover locking fitting 43 is located at the bottom side of the support base 11, the battery cover locking fitting 43 is difficult to be observed from the outside, and the battery cover locking fitting 43 is prevented from being influenced by the mounting base 21 during rotation, so that the battery cover 41 is accidentally detached.

Further, the battery assembly 40 includes a battery locking assembly 44, wherein the battery locking assembly 44 includes a first battery locking member 441 and a second battery locking member 442, wherein the first battery locking member 441 and the second battery locking member 442 can be locked with each other. When the battery 42 is pushed into the receiving cavity 110 of the support base 11 to a certain distance, the battery 42 is released, and the battery 42 cannot be taken out of the receiving cavity 110 temporarily, and the first battery locking piece 441 and the second battery locking piece 442 are locked with each other.

The first battery locking member 441 is disposed on the support base 11 or the control cover 53. In this example, the first battery lock 441 is provided to the control cover 53 and is located inside the control cover 53, and is difficult to be seen from the outside. The first battery locking member 441 is a boss.

The second battery locking member 442 is disposed on the battery 42, the second battery locking member 442 includes a movable protrusion 4421, an elastic member 4422 and a button 4423, wherein the battery locking member 44 has an open state and a locked state, and the movable protrusion 4421 is supported by the elastic member 4422.

In the open state, the movable protrusion 4421 protrudes out of the surface of the battery 42 under the action of the elastic member 4422, and when the battery 42 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 110 of the support seat 11 and the battery cover 41 is folded to cover the upper side of the battery 42, the movable protrusion 4421 in the open state is blocked by the first battery locking member 441 located on the battery cover 41 so that the battery 42 cannot be taken out of the accommodating cavity 110.

In the closed state, the movable protrusion 4421 is moved toward the elastic member 4422 by the button 4423 to press the elastic member 4422 and the movable protrusion 4421 is moved away from the surface of the battery 42, that is, away from the first battery locker 441, so that the battery 42 can be detached from the receiving chamber 110.

The movable protrusion 4421 is controllably connected to the button 4423. The user realizes switching between the open state and the locked state with respect to the movable protrusion 4421 by operating the button 4423.

It will be understood, of course, that the positions of the first battery locking member 441 and the second battery locking member 442 of the battery locking fitting 44 may be interchanged.

Further, referring to fig. 2A and 2B with emphasis, the lighting device 1 includes a control assembly 50, wherein the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting assembly 30 and the battery 42 of the battery assembly 40 are controllably connected to the control assembly 50, respectively. The control unit 50 is used to control the power on/off of the light emitting unit 31.

The control assembly 50 includes a control switch 51, a control circuit board 52 and a control cover 53, wherein the control switch 51 is disposed on the control cover 53, and the control circuit board 52 is received in the receiving cavity 110 of the support base 11. The control circuit board 52 is controllably connected to the control switch 51. The control switch 51 is exposed to the outside, and the user can operate the control switch 51 to control the opening and closing of the light emitting portion 31.

The control cover plate 53 is mounted on the support base 11 and covers the receiving cavity 110 of the support base 11. The battery cover 41 and the control cover plate 53 cover the receiving cavity 110 of the support base 11 from the front side and the rear side of the support base 11, respectively. The control cover plate 53 is fixedly mounted to the support base 11.

It is worth mentioning that the control assembly 50 is detachably connected to the battery assembly 40. When the control module 50 is mounted on the support base 11 and the battery module 40, the control module 50 and the battery module 40 can be turned on so that the control switch 51 of the control module 50 can control the power supply of the battery 42 of the battery module 40 toward the light emitting portion 31 of the light emitting module 30.

When the battery cover 41 is opened, the battery 42 of the battery assembly 40 is taken out from the receiving cavity 110 of the support base 11, the battery 42 is separated from the control assembly 50, and the control assembly 50 cannot control the power supply state of the battery 42 of the battery assembly 40. It should be noted that the control component 50 can still be conducted to the light-emitting portion 31 of the light-emitting component 30, so that the control switch 51 of the control component 50 can control the operation state of the light-emitting portion 31. For example, after the battery 42 is taken out from the receiving cavity 110 of the supporting seat 11, the light-emitting portion 31 of the light-emitting assembly 30 is powered by an external power source, and the user can still control the power supply state between the light-emitting portion 31 and the external power source by operating the control switch 51.

The lighting device 1 further comprises a waterproof assembly 60, wherein the waterproof assembly 60 can be engaged with the supporting base 11 so that the receiving cavity 110 of the supporting base 11 becomes a waterproof cavity with certain waterproof performance.

The first groove 61B is disposed to extend outward from a portion of the support base 11 near the position of the receiving cavity 1100, and the first protrusion 61A is formed on the battery cover 41 covering the receiving cavity 1100. When the battery cover 41 is mounted on the receiving cavity 1100 for passing the battery 42, the first protrusion 61A is engaged with the first groove 61B.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the positions of the first protrusion 61A and the first groove 61B may be interchanged, that is, the first protrusion 61A is formed on the support seat 11 near the position of the receiving cavity 1100, and the first groove 61B is configured to protrude outward from the peripheral position of the battery cover 41.

The first protrusion 61A and the first groove 61B may be an annular protrusion or an annular groove, respectively, and the "annular" may be circular, triangular, rectangular, polygonal, or the like. The cooperation between the annular first protrusion 61A and the annular first groove 61B can further reduce the possibility of moisture entering the receiving cavity 110.

Further, the waterproof assembly 60 includes a second protrusion 62A and a second groove 62B, wherein the second protrusion 62A and the second groove 62B are matched with each other. When the second projection 62A is mounted in the second groove 62B, the second projection 62A extends into the second groove 62B and fits snugly against it to prevent moisture from entering at the junction of the second projection 62A and the second groove 62B.

The second protrusion 62A is located on the control cover 53, and the second groove 62B is located on the support seat 11. Specifically, the number of the receiving cavities 1100 is two, one receiving cavity 1100 is used for the battery 42 of the battery assembly 40 to pass through, and the other receiving cavity 1100 is used for the control circuit board 52 of the control assembly 50 to pass through.

The two receiving cavities 1100 are respectively located at two sides, and the second groove 62B is located on the support seat 11 for the control circuit board 52 to pass through the vicinity of the receiving cavities 1100. The second protrusion 62A is formed at a peripheral position of the control cover 53, and protrudes outward from the control cover 53. The second protrusion 62A and the control cover 53 may be integrally formed or may be separately formed.

When the control cover plate 53 of the control assembly 50 is mounted on the support seat 11, the second protrusion 62A enters the second groove 62B, so that the control cover plate 53 and the support seat 11 are tightly attached.

The second protrusion 62A and the second groove 62B may be respectively an annular protrusion or an annular groove, where the "annular" may be circular, triangular, rectangular, or polygonal. The cooperation between the annular second protrusion 62A and the annular second groove 62B can further reduce the possibility of moisture entering the receiving cavity 110.

Further, the waterproof assembly 60 further includes at least one sealing ring 63, wherein the sealing ring 63 can be disposed between the second protrusion 62A and the second groove 62B or between the first protrusion 61A and the first groove 61B, so as to enhance the sealing performance.
