JP6038736B2 - Handy light - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a handy light.

  Patent Document 1 describes that the structure of a switch is simplified as much as possible to reduce the outer shape and to obtain a light emitting tool such as a penlight that can be manufactured at low cost. Therefore, in Patent Document 1, a light emitting cylinder made of a translucent cylinder and a grip cylinder are screw-coupled so as to be separable, and an electric substrate having a conductive film formed on one surface is arranged between both cylinders. Attaching the light-emitting element to the substrate and arranging the power supply electrode (battery anode, spring electrode end) that faces the conductive film of the electric substrate and is ejected to the electric substrate side by a spring It is described as being used as a part.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a penlight type handy light equipped with a full-color LED that can change light emission freely by operating a switch corresponding to each RGB color with one hand. ing. This handy light 10 can be handled as a musical instrument that plays light, and can produce light in various spaces and scenes.

  This handy light 10 is a pen type (torch type, linear type) in which a light emitting part (light) 30 and a gripping part (grip) 50 are linearly connected, and the gripping part 50 has light 3 on one side. RGB color switches 51 to 53 as primary colors are arranged, and by pressing these switches 51 to 53, light emission of the RGBCMYW7 colors can be controlled in a momentary manner. Therefore, ON / OFF of the light emitting unit 30 and switching of the light emission color can be freely performed.

  A function switch (fade switch, F switch) 55 is arranged on the opposite side of the grip 50, and when the F switch 55 is pressed and the RGB switches 51 to 53 are pressed, the light emission fades in and out, so that intermediate colors can be expressed.

  A program switch (P switch) 56 is arranged side by side with the F switch 55 in the vertical or horizontal direction. When the P switch 56 is pressed and the RGB switches 51 to 53 are pressed, a pattern stored in advance is used with three RGB switches. It can be selected by 3-bit switching. Therefore, the light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 30 can be freely controlled.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a parallel type (ring type) handy light 20 in which the light emitting unit 30 and the grip 50 are arranged in parallel. The handy light 20 has a disk shape as a whole, and there is a space 40 through which a finger can pass between the light emitting unit 30 and the grip 50. Even if it does not fall. The handy light 20 can also be manually turned on / off by switching (fingering) with one hand. The light emitting unit 30 and the grip 50 are connected via a space 40 through which a finger passes, and may be connected on both sides of the space 40 or may be connected on one side.

  Depending on the handy light, the space 40 through which the finger passes can be passed through the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger, and the F switch 55 and the P switch 56 are arranged at positions where the thumb can be operated. Also good.

  On one side (front side, front side) of the grip 50, RGB switches 51 to 53 and a P switch 56 are arranged. The R switch 51 can be operated with the index finger, the G switch 52 can be operated with the middle finger, and the B switch 53 can be operated with the ring finger, and seven-color light emission of RGBCMYW can be controlled by three-bit switching (fingering). The P switch 56 is disposed at a place where it can be operated with a little finger, and the existing light emission corresponding to 3-bit switching can be pattern-reproduced by turning on the pattern switch. The F switch 55 is disposed at a position where the F switch 55 can be operated with the thumb at or near both ends of the grip 50, and can control the fade dimming mode.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the F switch 55 is disposed at the position of the thumb when the grip 50 is held by the left and right hands. For this reason, the thumb switch 55 is installed on the left and right sides, connected in parallel, and can be operated with either hand by switching between the right hand and the left hand, so it can be held with both hands. Horizontal inversion is possible by operating the switch. For example, all the RGBFP switches 51 to 53, 55 and 56 are reversed left and right by simultaneously pressing and holding. The left / right reversing switch operation is not limited to this.

  In both the torch-type handy light 10 and the ring-type handy light 20, the color of the light emitting unit 30 can be set using a switch. For example, the F switch 55 for the thumb can be set to a color designation mode that can be set independently from 512 colors with 8 gradations of RGB colors. In this mode, 7 colors can be set (presettable) with 3 bits of RGB switches 51 to 53. The color is maintained when the switch is turned on, and when the switch is pressed again, the light of the color corresponding to the switch is output. The pinky finger P switch 56 has a function of turning off. The function assigned to each switch is an example.

An example of the color setting process is as follows.
1. Lights off after RGBW order point when RGBFP is pressed twice simultaneously.
2. Each time the switch of the color to be emitted is pressed among the RGB switches 51 to 53, the light emission is intensified in 8 levels, and when it reaches MAX, the loop returning to MIN is repeated.
3. When the desired color is set by pressing the RGB switches 51 to 53, the set color blinks three times and is completed by pressing the fingering (3-bit switching) to be set while pressing the F button 55.

The method for entering the color setting mode will be described in more detail as follows.
1. Press PFRGB 51-53, 55, 56 fully for the first time from 1 second to 5 seconds.
2. Turn off (release) all switches.
3. Immediately press PFRGB51-53, 55, 56 fully for 1 second or more.
4). After turning on in RGBW order, it turns off and enters the color setting mode.

  The auxiliary specifications of the color setting mode are as follows. If the second full press is not received within 10 seconds after the first full press is accepted, the first full press is canceled and the normal mode is restored. In addition, after accepting the first full press, the color setting mode is entered as it is after 1 second of the second full press. Therefore, even if the second press is continued, right / left hand switching does not occur. If no operation is performed for 30 seconds in the color setting mode, the process is forcibly terminated. The toning display (the color being created) immediately after the first activation is all colors off (black). In the next color setting mode, it starts with the last final color matching, but when the battery is replaced, all colors start off.

  The setting color storage method is as follows. When the F key is pressed in the toned state, the color disappears for a moment and informs the waiting for storage, and then turns on again and waits for the RGB button assignment. If you hold down the F key and press the key you want to assign RGB for 2 seconds, the set color blinks three times and is assigned to that button. If the F key is released without pressing the key assignment operation while the F key is pressed and waiting for the RGB button assignment, the color setting mode is exited. The setting color is stored in the nonvolatile memory when the color setting mode is exited. Further, even when the operation is forcibly terminated without any operation for 30 seconds as described above, if there is a change in setting up to that point, it is saved.

  Note that the toning can be stored in the nonvolatile memory, and the previous toning display can be performed even when the battery is replaced.
