Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. The terminologies used in the description of the present invention herein are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Please refer toFIGS. 1 and 2, Example 1 of the present invention discloses a light device, including a lamp body20, a battery30, and a clamping structure10. The battery30is detachably connected to the lamp body20through the clamping structure10.

The specific structure of the clamping structure10will be described in detail below.

Please refer toFIGS. 3-7together, the clamping structure10of this solution includes a male seat1, an elastic limiting component2, a female seat3, and a pushing aid4. The male seat1is provided with clamping protrusions11. The elastic limiting component2is disposed on the male seat1. The female seat3is provided with clamping slots31. One of the clamping slots31is internally provided with a limiting slot32. The female seat3is further provided with a first through hole33penetrating to the limiting slot32. The pushing aid4movably penetrates through the first through hole33, and the pushing aid4is configured to make the elastic limiting component2clamped into or separated from the limiting slot32.

As one optional implementation, the male seat1is disposed on the lamp body20, and the female seat3is disposed on the battery30. As another optional implementation, the female seat3is disposed on the lamp body20, and the male seat1is disposed on the battery30. In this embodiment, the situation that the male seat1is disposed on the lamp body20, and the female seat3is disposed on the battery30is taken as an example.

In the light device of this solution, during butt joint operation of the battery30and the lamp body20, the male seat1is screwed into the female seat3at a specific angle, the clamping protrusions11are rotated and buckled to the clamping slots31, and the pushing aid4is configured to move relative to the first through hole33under extrusion of the elastic limiting component2so that the elastic limiting component2may be clamped into the limiting slot32for limiting, thereby completing the installation limiting of the male seat1and the female seat3, namely, completing butt joint of the lamp body20and the battery30. During disassembly operation of the battery30and the lamp body20, an external force is applied to the pushing aid4, the pushing aid4is further configured to extrude the elastic limiting component2under the action of the external force so that the elastic limiting component2may be separated from the limiting slot32, and at the same time, the male seat1or the female seat3is rotated so that the clamping protrusions11may be rotated to be separated from the clamping slots31, that is, disassembly of the lamp body20and the battery30is completed. The mode of adopting the male seat1and the female seat3to realize detachable connection, on one hand, is beneficial to improving the connection reliability of the light device, and on the other hand, helps the light device to be accurately positioned during installation.

In some embodiments, the male seat1is internally provided with a threaded stud13, and the male seat1is provided with a second through hole12. The elastic limiting component2includes an ejector pin21and a first elastic member22. The ejector pin21movably penetrates through the second through hole12. One end of the first elastic member22abuts against the threaded stud13, and the other end of the first elastic member22abuts against a side, away from the pushing aid4, of the ejector pin21. In this way, when the clamping protrusions11are rotated and buckled to the clamping slots31, the ejector pin21extrudes the pushing aid4under the action of the first elastic member22so that the pushing aid4may move relative to the first through hole33, and thus the ejector pin21is clamped into the limiting slot32. The pushing aid4abuts against the ejector pin21under the action of the external force, the ejector pin21extrudes the first elastic member22, and thus the ejector pin21is separated from the limiting slot32.

Exemplarily, the first elastic member22is a spring, while in other optional implementations, a second elastic member35may further be an elastic piece, which is not limited here.

In some embodiments, an inlet of one of the clamping slots31is provided with a bevel34, and when the elastic limiting component2moves relative to the female seat3, the elastic limiting component2is extruded or reset under the action of the bevel34. In this way, in the process of installation and alignment of the male seat1and the female seat3, the elastic limiting component2is changed into a compressed state under the extrusion of the bevel34, that is, the elastic limiting component2is extruded into the compressed state before being clamped into the limiting slot32, so that the elastic limiting component2has elastic force for extruding the pushing aid4when clamped into the limiting slot32. In the disassembly process of the male seat1and the female seat3, since the elastic limiting component2is in a compressed state when separated from the limiting slot32, the elastic limiting component2may be gradually reset under the action of the bevel34. In addition, the arrangement of the bevel34also facilitates the installation and alignment of the male seat1and the female seat3.

In some embodiments, as an optional implementation, the pushing aid4includes an elastic part41and an ejector pin part42connected to the elastic part41, the elastic part41is fixed into the limiting slot32, and the ejector pin part42penetrates through the first through hole33and is capable of expanding and contracting relative to the first through hole33. With this design mode, a user may extrude the ejector pin part42, the ejector pin part42drives the elastic part41to elastically deform under the action of external force, and the ejector pin part42contracts relative to the first through hole33so as to extrude the elastic limiting component2, that is, when the light device is disassembled, the external force borne by the pushing aid4is extrusion force.

As another optional implementation, the pushing aid4is a push button (not shown), the push button is slidably disposed at the first through hole33, and a side, facing the elastic limiting component2, of the push button is provided with a guide surface. The guide surface may be a wedge-shaped surface or a bevel disposed obliquely toward the elastic limiting component2so that the push button may extrude the elastic limiting component2when sliding relative to the first through hole33, which is not limited here. With this design method, the user may push the push button, and the push button slides relative to the first through hole33under the action of external force so that the guide surface may extrude the elastic limiting component2, that is, when the light device is disassembled, the external force borne by the pushing aid4is pushing force.

In this embodiment, the pushing aid4being a spring pin is taken as an example.

In some embodiments, the clamping protrusions11are disposed on the outer side of the male seat1, the clamping slots31are disposed in the inner side of the female seat3, and the male seat1is screwed to the inner side of the female seat3at a specific angle so that the clamping protrusions11on the outer side of the male seat1may be rotated and buckled to the clamping slots31located in the inner side of the female seat3.

Further, there are a plurality of clamping protrusions11and a plurality of clamping slots31. In this way, the female seat3and the male seat1may have a better positioning and installation effect. Exemplarily, there are four clamping protrusions11, the four clamping protrusions11are disposed on the male seat1at intervals, there are also four clamping slots31, and the four clamping slots31are disposed in the female seat3at intervals.

Furthermore, there are one group of elastic limiting component2and one group of pushing aid4. There is one limiting slot32and one first through hole33, and the limiting slot32and the first through hole33are formed in any clamping slot31. There is also one bevel34, and the bevel34is disposed on the same clamping slot31as the limiting slot32. It can be understood that in other preferred implementations, there may further be a plurality of groups of elastic limiting components2and a plurality of groups of pushing aids4, when there are the plurality of groups of elastic limiting components2and the plurality of groups of pushing aids4, there are also a plurality of limiting slots32, a plurality of first through holes33and a plurality of bevels34correspondingly, which is not limited here.

Optionally, the first through hole33is disposed in one clamping slot31, and the second through hole12is disposed in the clamping protrusion11corresponding to the clamping slot31.

In some embodiments, the male seat1and/or the female seat3are/is further provided with the second elastic member35, and the second elastic member35is located between the male seat1and the female seat3, and is configured to eliminate an axial gap between the male seat1and the female seat3, that is, the second elastic member35is configured to provide elastic force when the clamping protrusions11are rotated and buckled to the clamping slots31so as to eliminate the axial gap between the male seat1and the female seat3, thereby eliminating a gap between the lamp body20and the battery30. In this way, the battery30and the lamp body20may be prevented from shaking.

The male seat1and/or the female seat3being provided with the second elastic member35specifically includes the following three situations: the male seat1is provided with the second elastic member35, the female seat3is provided with the second elastic member35, and the male seat1and the female seat3are each provided with the second elastic member35. In this embodiment, the female seat3being provided with the second elastic member35is taken as an example.

Further, the male seat1and/or the female seat3are/is further provided with bosses36, and the height of the highest point of each boss36is lower than the height of the highest point of the second elastic member35. In this way, the bosses36may be configured to reduce fit clearance between the female seat3and the male seat1, and meanwhile, an installation position and a compression space of the second elastic member35are reserved, thereby preventing the second elastic member35from failing beyond the elastic limit. It can be seen from the above that the second elastic member35is disposed on the female seat3, and correspondingly, the bosses36are also disposed on the female seat3.

Specifically, there are two bosses36, and the two bosses36are spaced apart on the bottom surface of the inner side of the female seat3. The second elastic member35is the elastic piece, and the second elastic member35is also disposed on the bottom surface of the inner side of the female seat3. Two avoiding notches351are disposed at positions, corresponding to the two bosses, of the second elastic member35, and the two bosses36penetrate through the two avoiding notches351respectively.

In some embodiments, the elastic limiting component2and the pushing aid4are both metal members or plastic members. In this way, since the elastic limiting component2and the pushing aid4are both metal members or plastic members, the elastic limiting component2abuts against the pushing aid4when clamped into the limiting slot32so that the elastic limiting component2and the pushing aid4may collide and generate a prompt sound, and the prompt sound may bring convenience to the user to determine whether the lamp body20and the battery30are in butt joint in place.

The following is a detailed description of the disassembly and assembly processes of the battery30and the lamp body20:

The butt joint operation of the battery30and the lamp body20: the male seat1is screwed into the female seat3at a specific angle, and the ejector pin21extrudes the first elastic member22under the action of the bevel34at the inlet of the corresponding clamping slot31, so that the first elastic member22is in a compressed state, and when the male seat1rotates relative to the female seat3until the clamping protrusions11are rotated and buckled to the clamping slots31, the ejector pin21is clamped into the limiting slot32under the action of the first elastic member22and extrudes the ejector pin part42of the spring pin, thereby completing installation limiting of the male seat1and the female seat3, namely, completing the butt joint of the lamp body20and the battery30.

The disassembly operation of the battery30and the lamp body20: the extrusion force is applied to the ejector pin part42of the spring pin, the ejector pin part42of the spring pin extrudes the ejector pin21under the action of the extrusion force, and the ejector pin21extrudes the first elastic member22, so that the ejector pin21is separated from the limiting slot32, and at the same time, the male seat1or the female seat3is rotated so that the clamping protrusions11may be rotated to be separated from the clamping slots31, thereby completing the disassembly of the male seat1and the female seat3, namely, completing the disassembly of the lamp body20and the battery30.
