As illustrated in fig. 1 to 7, the flashlight 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes a frame carrier 10, a light source part 20 mounted to the frame carrier 10, a power supply part 30 for supplying power to the light source part 20, a control switch 40 for controlling the electrical conduction of the light source part 20, and a functional unit 50 assembled to the frame carrier 10.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the frame carrier 10 has opposite front and rear ends 110 and 120, and the light source part 20 is mounted to the front end 110 of the frame carrier 10. The light source part 20 includes at least one luminous point 21, as shown in fig. 3, to function as illumination when turned on. The light-emitting point 21 may be implemented as an LED-type light-emitting point 21, or as another type of light-emitting point 21.

In order to meet the light intensity requirement of the flashlight 100 and reduce astigmatism, the light source portion 20 is further provided with a reflector 22 having an arc-shaped curved surface structure, as shown in fig. 3, the reflector 22 is covered outside the light emitting point 21 for converging light. The reflector 22 extends forward from the luminous point 21 in a diverging manner, i.e. the cross-sectional area of the reflector 22 increases gradually forward from the luminous point 21.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the light source unit 20 further includes a housing 24 disposed outside the light emitting point 21 and the reflector 22, so as to accommodate the light emitting point 21 and the reflector 22 in the housing 24, thereby protecting and dust-preventing the light emitting point 21. The outer cover 24 is flared forward to act to concentrate light to some extent. The light source part 20 further includes a light-emitting lens mounted to the housing 24, which may be implemented as an optical lens, and is held on a light-emitting path of the light-emitting point 21 to allow light emitted from the light-emitting point 21 to pass through the light-emitting lens.

It should be noted that the light source unit 20 may be fixed to the front end 110 of the frame carrier 10 or may be movably mounted to the front end 110 of the frame carrier 10, which is not limited to the present application. In a specific example of the present application, the light source part 20 is fixed to the front end 110 of the frame carrier 10. In another specific example of the present application, the housing 24 of the light source portion 20 is slidably mounted on the frame carrier 10, and may drive the light-emitting lens mounted on the housing 24 to slide relative to the frame carrier 10, wherein the light-emitting lens is implemented as an optical lens, and the light emitted from the light-emitting point 21 may be modulated by moving the light-emitting lens, so as to adjust the light-emitting performance (e.g., light divergence angle, light intensity distribution) of the flashlight 100. In still another specific example of the present application, the outer cover 24 of the light source portion 20 is pivotally mounted on the frame carrier 10, and can rotate the light emitting point 21 mounted on the outer cover 24 relative to the frame carrier 10, and an angle between an axis of the light emitting point 21 and an axis of the frame carrier 10 changes with the rotation of the light emitting point 21, so as to change a light emitting direction of the light emitting point 21.

In order to enable the flashlight 100 to adapt to illumination requirements of different distances so as to meet more application scenes, the flashlight 100 is further provided with a focusing part 60 for focusing. The focusing unit 60 is movable with respect to the light source unit 20, and focusing is performed by the focusing unit 60 to lengthen the image distance when long-distance irradiation is required, and focusing is performed by the focusing unit 60 to shorten the image distance when short-distance irradiation is required.

Specifically, the flashlight 100 further includes a focusing part 60 movably mounted to the light source part 20, as shown in fig. 1, the focusing part 60 includes a focusing carrier 61 movably mounted to the housing 24 of the light source part 20 and at least one light modulation element 62 mounted to the focusing carrier 61, wherein the light modulation element 62 is held on the light emitting path of the light source part 20 to adjust the distance between the light modulation element 62 and the light emitting point 21 by moving the focusing carrier 61, thereby achieving focusing.

More specifically, the embodiment in which the focusing part 60 is movably mounted to the light source part 20 is not limited to the present application. In a specific example of the present application, the focusing carrier 61 of the focusing part 60 is movably mounted to the outer housing 24 of the light source part 20 in a spiral rotation manner, the focusing carrier 61 and the outer housing 24 are respectively provided with a first screw thread and a second screw thread which are mutually adapted, and the focusing carrier 61 and the light modulation element 62 are moved relative to the light emitting point 21 of the light source part 20 by rotating the focusing carrier 61 in such a manner that the focusing part 60 is movably mounted to the light source part 20.

In another specific example of the present application, the focusing carrier 61 of the focusing part 60 is movably mounted to the housing 24 of the light source part 20 in a relatively sliding manner, the focusing carrier 61 and the housing 24 are respectively provided with a sliding rail and a sliding block which are mutually adapted, or the focusing carrier 61 and the housing 24 are respectively provided with a sliding block and a sliding rail which are mutually adapted, so that the focusing carrier 61 can move relative to the light emitting point 21 of the light source part 20 along the length extending direction of the sliding rail, in such a manner that the focusing part 60 is movably mounted to the light source part 20. In other specific examples of the present application, the focusing part 60 may be movably mounted to the light source part 20 by means of elastic expansion and contraction, a segment engagement, or the like.

It should be noted that the light modulation element 62 may be used as a light-emitting mirror of the flashlight 100 to transmit the light of the light-emitting point 21. That is, the mounting position of the light-emitting lens is not limited to the present application, and the light-emitting lens may be mounted on the housing 24 or the focusing carrier 61. It should be appreciated that the flashlight 100 may also be provided with a light-emitting lens on the housing 24 and the focusing carrier 61, respectively, to transmit and modulate the light emitted from the light-emitting point 21.

It should be understood that the focusing part 60 may be disposed at other positions, for example, the focusing part 60 may be disposed on the frame carrier 10 to be movable with respect to the light emitting point 21 of the light source part 20.

In the embodiment of the present application, the light modulation element 62 is implemented as a convex lens for converging light. Accordingly, the light modulation element 62 includes at least one convex lens, wherein the number of the convex lenses may be 1,2 or more, which is not limited to the present application. In a variant embodiment of the application, the optical focusing is achieved by the cooperation of a convex lens and a concave lens, and correspondingly, the light modulation element 62 further comprises at least one concave lens. In variant embodiments of the application, the light modulation element 62 may be implemented as other types. In some embodiments of the present application, the light modulation element 62 is detachably mounted to the focusing carrier 61, so as to replace different types of light modulation elements 62 according to different application requirements.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the inner surface of the reflector 22 is provided with a mark, and the mark may be customized by focusing the pattern of the mark, and for example, the mark may be designed as a company trademark, a specific pattern, or a specific text. As shown in fig. 6.

In the embodiment of the present application, the flashlight 100 may be powered by an external power source, or may be powered by its own power source 31 to achieve the electrical conduction of the light source 20. Accordingly, the power supply part 30 is electrically connected to the light source part 20, the power supply part 30 includes at least one power supply interface 32 electrically connected to the light emitting point 21, and the light emitting point 21 of the light source part 20 is adapted to be connected to the external power source 31 through the power supply interface 32, wherein the power supply interface 32 may be implemented as a USB interface or other types of interfaces, which is not limited to the present application. The power supply portion 30 further includes at least one power source 31, and at least one power source 31 of the at least one power source 31 is electrically connected to the light source portion 20.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present application, the outer cover 24 can be used not only as a protection cover for the light-emitting point 21, but also as a blocking cover for the power supply interface 32. In a specific example of the present application, the housing 24 of the light source part 20 is movably mounted to the frame carrier 10, and at least one power supply interface 32 of all power supply interfaces 32 is disposed on the frame carrier 10 adjacent to the housing 24 such that at least one power supply interface 32 of all power supply interfaces 32 is switched between a first state and a second state, and when in the first state, at least one power supply interface 32 of all power supply interfaces 32 is covered by the housing 24 to avoid contaminants from entering therein, and when in the second state, at least one power supply interface 32 of all power supply interfaces 32 is exposed, as shown in fig. 4, to make it suitable for electrical connection to an external device.

The control switch 40 is electrically connected between the power supply part 30 and the light source part 20 to control the electrical conduction of the light source part 20.

It should be noted that different application scenarios may require different lighting performance of flashlight 100, and that in some scenarios it may be desirable for flashlight 100 to perform functions other than illumination. To this end, the inventors propose that the structure of flashlight 100 may be heterogeneous, and functional areas for achieving multiple functions may be planned. In this way, not only multiple functions can be integrated in the flashlight 100 to realize multiple functions and meet the requirements of different scenes on the flashlight 100, but also the distribution space of each functional component can be saved to a large extent by concentrating the components realizing multiple functions in a specific area.

Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the flashlight 100 is provided with a functional unit 50 for centrally arranging functional components to achieve various functions. The functional unit 50 is detachably assembled to the frame carrier 10, and the specific embodiment in which the functional unit 50 is detachably assembled to the frame carrier 10 is not limited to the present application. In one specific example of the present application, the functional unit 50 is detachably assembled to the frame carrier 10 by being plugged into the frame carrier 10, as shown in fig. 2 and 5. The peripheral wall of the functional unit 50 and the peripheral wall of the frame carrier 10 are fitted to each other, and are joined together as the peripheral wall of the main casing of the flashlight 100. In another specific example of the present application, the flashlight 100 further includes a cover 52 mounted to the rear end 120 of the frame carrier 10, and the functional unit 50 is detachably assembled to the frame carrier 10 by being fastened to the cover 52, as shown in fig. 6 and 7. The front end of the functional unit 50 is provided with a first buckle body, the cover 52 is provided with a second buckle body adapted to the first buckle body, and the functional unit 50 and the frame carrier 10 are buckled with each other through the first buckle body and the second buckle body. In yet another embodiment of the present application, the functional unit 50 is detachably mounted to the frame carrier 10 by being directly fastened to the frame carrier 10. In other embodiments of the present application, the functional unit 50 may also be detachably assembled to the frame carrier 10 by means of hinging, sleeving, clamping, etc.

Specifically, the functional unit 50 includes a functional housing 51 detachably assembled to the frame carrier 10, and at least a portion of the functional housing 51 is made of plastic, so that not only a non-slip effect is achieved to some extent, but also the overall weight of the flashlight 100 is reduced. The functional housing 51 forms a receiving chamber 501, that is to say, in the exemplary embodiment of the application, the functional unit 50 has a receiving chamber 501. The housing 501 is adapted to house at least one functional component (e.g., the power source 31, the magnetic attraction element 200, the wireless charging device 400, a string, a hook, a window breaking hammer 300, and an auxiliary light 70, as described below), so that the flashlight 100 can have various additional functions in addition to illumination. In some embodiments of the present application, after the functional casing 51 is detached from the frame carrier 10, the functional components accommodated in the accommodating cavity 501 may be detached at the same time, and different functional components may be replaced according to different scenarios. Accordingly, any one or more of the following are adapted to be removably received within the receiving cavity 501 of the functional unit 50: the power supply 31, the magnetic attraction element 200, the wireless charging device 400, the rope, the hook, the window breaking hammer 300 and the auxiliary illuminant 70.

In a specific example of the present application, the housing chambers 501 are all used as the housing space of the power source 31 to ensure power supply to the light source part 20.

In another specific example of the present application, the accommodating cavity 501 is further divided into at least two areas for accommodating at least two functional components, and accordingly, the accommodating cavity 501 includes a first cavity 5011 and a second cavity 5012 as shown in fig. 7. In this specific example, the flashlight 100 is provided with at least two power sources 31, which can be divided into two groups and respectively received in the first cavity 5011 and the second cavity 5012.

It should be noted that the requirements of different application scenarios on the luminous intensity of the flashlight 100 are different. As described above, in the scenario where the requirements for the luminous intensity are high and the power supply is sufficient, flashlight 100 is required to preferentially satisfy the luminous intensity, and then the electric quantity is considered; in a scenario where there is a low demand for luminous intensity and power is scarce, flashlight 100 is required to be able to function as illumination while maintaining as much power as possible. The flashlight 100 of the present application is capable of adjusting the lighting pattern by the application scenario's demand for lighting intensity.

Specifically, in a scenario with a high requirement for luminous intensity and sufficient power supply, the flashlight 100 may supply power to the light source unit 20 through the multiple power supplies 31, divide all the power supplies 31 into two groups and respectively place the two groups in the first cavity 5011 and the second cavity 5012, so as to enhance the luminous intensity of the flashlight 100, so that the flashlight 100 is in the first luminous mode, and in a scenario with a low requirement for luminous intensity and insufficient power supply, only part of the power supplies 31 are placed in the first cavity 5011 or the second cavity 5012, so as to save electric quantity, and the flashlight 100 is in the second luminous mode.

It should be appreciated that the housing cavity 501 may be divided into more cavities, and the number of power sources 31 disposed in the cavities may be selected according to the lighting intensity requirements and the power supply conditions to adjust the lighting mode of the flashlight 100 and balance the relationship between the lighting intensity and the power supply amount. Thus, flashlight 100 not only adjusts the luminous intensity for different application requirements, but also takes into account the power consumption.

In another embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 7, the first cavity 5011 and the second cavity 5012 are adapted to receive a power source 31 and a window breaking hammer 300 therein, respectively. The functional unit 50 further includes a mounting location 511 disposed on the functional housing 51, and the window hammer 300 is adapted to be mounted on the mounting location 511. When the window breaking hammer is needed, the window breaking hammer body 300 accommodated in the second cavity 5012 can be taken out and mounted on the mounting position 511, and the functional housing 51 and the frame carrier 10 of the flashlight 100 can be used as a handle. In this way, the flashlight 100 may perform a striking function using the window breaking hammer body 300 and its own structural features, and be used as a window breaking hammer.

In yet another embodiment of the present application, the first cavity 5011 and the second cavity 5012 are adapted to receive a power source 31 and a magnetic attraction element 200 (not shown), respectively, therein. In this way, the flashlight 100 can be used as a magnetite, and the flashlight 100 is attached to metal for ease of placement. For example, when the vehicle is driven out for camping, the flashlight 100 can be adsorbed to the metal part of the vehicle body without holding the flashlight 100 all the time, so that the flashlight 100 is stably kept at a certain position, both hands are liberated, and the flashlight 100 can be prevented from easily rolling to other places.

In yet another specific example of the present application, the first cavity 5011 and the second cavity 5012 house a power source 31 and a wireless charging device 400, respectively, therein. In this way, flashlight 100 may be used as a wireless charger to charge other powered devices (e.g., a cell phone).

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present application, the functional unit 50 is detachably assembled at the rear of the frame carrier 10, as shown in fig. 6 and 7; in other embodiments of the present application, the functional unit 50 is detachably assembled to the inside of the frame carrier 10 or the outside of the frame carrier 10 to increase the function of the flashlight 100 without increasing the length of the flashlight 100.

Accordingly, in one specific example of the present application, the functional unit 50 is assembled to the frame carrier 10 by way of its functional housing 51 being sleeved in the frame carrier 10 and located at the rear end 120 of the frame carrier 10 without affecting the arrangement of the components (e.g., the light source portion 20, the control switch 40) located at the front end 110 of the frame carrier 10.

In another specific example of the present application, the functional unit 50 is assembled to the frame carrier 10 in such a manner that the functional housing 51 thereof is sleeved outside the frame carrier 10 (i.e., the functional housing 51 accommodates the frame carrier 10 therein), and the functional housing 51 may protect the frame carrier 10.
