Quick release mechanism

This invention relates to a quick-release mechanism, especially a quick-release mechanism of a diving lighting device.

Today’s life is getting busier and busier, so many people choose to engage in some outdoor activities and get close to nature to relax. Especially when the weather gets hotter in summer, more and more people go to the beach to engage in marine leisure activities. In addition to water leisure activities such as surfing, stand-up paddle boarding and canoeing, diving is becoming more and more popular among Chinese people. It not only allows you to swim leisurely in the ocean with schools of fish, but also explores the colorful and spectacular underwater world. . Since light is not easy to reach at sea level, the brightness of the light becomes darker as the diving depth becomes deeper, resulting in poor vision for divers and making them unable to successfully perform underwater work or explore the underwater world. Therefore, a flashlight specially designed for diving is an important part of diving sports. One of the indispensable equipment.

A conventional diving flashlight can be combined with a diving mask by attaching the diving flashlight to a strap of the diving mask through a buckle strap, so that the diving flashlight is fixed to the diving mask. However, since the buckle strap is attached to the harness, it will take a lot of time to assemble or disassemble the diving flashlight, causing inconvenience to the diver and making it impossible to assemble or disassemble quickly, and if it is affected by tidal currents The diving flashlight fell to the bottom of the sea due to the impact, causing safety concerns and poor convenience of use.

In view of this, there is still a need to improve the conventional combination method of diving flashlights.

Please refer to Figures 4 and 6. When using the quick-release mechanism of the present invention, each connector 12 can be mounted on the user's hand. In this embodiment, each connector 12 is mounted on the right hand. to explain. When you want to disassemble the lighting device M, press the first end 22a of the operating member 22 with your left thumb, and the operating member 22 can drive the limiting member 24 to move, so that the limiting member 24 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixing base 21 213 are flush; in this way, the limiting member 24 does not engage the limiting groove 33 of the assembly component 3, so that the assembly component 3 can be separated from the quick-release module 2 along the disassembly and assembly direction D2, and then the assembly component 3 can be disassembled. Lighting device M.

Please refer to Figures 2, 5, and 6. When assembling the lighting device M, the assembly component 3 is coupled to the fixing base 21 along the disassembly and assembly direction D2, and at the same time, the operating component 22 is pressed with the thumb of the left hand. The first end 22a prevents the limiting member 24 from engaging the limiting groove 33 of the assembly member 3 . At this time, continue to combine the assembly member 3 with the fixed base 21 along the disassembly and assembly direction D2 until the operating member 22 is located behind the communication groove 32, and then release your left thumb so that the operating member 22 is not pressed. The operating member 22 can be reset by being pushed by the reset element 23, so that the limiting member 24 protrudes from the inner wall 213 of the fixed base 21; in this way, the limiting member 24 blocks the limiting member 3 The slot 33 allows the assembly component 3 to be combined with the quick-release module, thereby completing the assembly of the lighting device M.

Please refer to Figures 4 and 7. Since the number of the first side opening H3 and the second side opening H4 is two, the operating member 22 can be extended through the first side of another set of opposite positions. The side opening H3 and the second side opening H4. When in use, each connecting member 12 is placed on the left hand, and the first end 22a of the operating member 22 is pressed with the thumb of the right hand. The operating member 22 can drive the limiting member 24 to move, so that the limiting member 24 and the limiting member 24 are moved. The inner wall 213 of the fixed base 21 is flush; in this way, the limiting member 24 does not engage the limiting groove 33 of the assembly component 3, so that the assembly component 3 can be separated from the quick-release module along the disassembly and assembly direction D2. 2. The lighting device M can then be disassembled. The actions performed are the same as those mentioned above, except for the difference between the left and right hands. Therefore, the quick-release mechanism of this invention can be worn on the left or right hand according to the user's different needs.

To sum up, in the quick-release mechanism of the present invention, when the operating member is pressed, the limiting member does not engage the limiting groove of the assembly member, so that the assembly member can be separated from the quick-release module, and thus The lighting device is disassembled; when the operating member is not pressed, the limiting member engages the limiting slot of the assembly member so that the assembly member is combined with the quick-release module. In this way, the tedious procedures of assembling and disassembling the lighting device can be simplified, the requirement of rapid disassembly and assembly can be achieved, and the convenience of use is improved.
