The flashlight further includes a flashlight tail 3 connected to another end of the flashlight body 1 away from the lamp base 2, a control assembly fixedly provided inside the flashlight tail 3 and in signal connection with a lamp bead driving circuit and the illumination switch 7 respectively, and a toggle switch 5 slidably mounted on an outer side of the flashlight tail 3 and provided with at least two gears in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the flashlight body 1, where the toggle switch 5 is configured to toggle in a reciprocating manner between the two adjacent gears so as to transmit a locking signal or an unlocking signal to the control assembly, and when the control assembly receives the locking signal from the toggle switch 5, the control assembly transmits a disconnection instruction to the lamp bead driving circuit; and when the control assembly receives the unlocking signal from the toggle switch 5, the control assembly recognizes a switch signal of the illumination switch 7 and transmits a connection instruction or the disconnection instruction to the lamp bead driving circuit according to a recognition result.


During practical application of this embodiment, by pushing the toggle switch 5 provided on the flashlight tail 3, switching of the different gears is achieved and a corresponding signal is transmitted to the control assembly, and after receiving the corresponding signal, the control assembly performs adjustment and outputs a corresponding instruction, thereby connecting or disconnecting the lamp bead driving circuit, and then achieving one-key locking of the illumination switch 7 of the flashlight. After locking, the lamp bead cannot emit light no matter whether a user presses the illumination switch 7 of the flashlight, thereby avoiding power waste caused when the user touches the illumination switch 7 by mistake; in addition, by means of the toggle switch 5 located on the flashlight tail 3 and capable of moving in the direction parallel to the axial direction of the flashlight body 1, when the flashlight body 1 is held by one hand, the gears can be changed by pushing the toggle switch 5 directly in the axial direction of the flashlight body 1, then one-key locking of the flashlight can be achieved, the operation process is relatively convenient, and use requirements of the user can be met.


It should be noted that, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, which correspond to structure diagrams of the flashlight in an unlocked state and in a locked state in sequence, when the lamp bead driving circuit is locked, the illumination switch 7 of the flashlight is also disabled, thereby achieving one-key locking of the flashlight.


In one case of this embodiment, the gears of the toggle switch 5 can be set as required, thereby achieving the states of the lamp bead driving circuit in correspondence to the different gears, for example, in addition to connecting and disconnecting the lamp bead driving circuit, the different gears can also correspond to different brightness or colors of the lamp bead, and thus the number of the gears of the toggle switch 5 is not specified restrictively.

It should be noted that the Hall sensor 4 can be subjected to magnetic induction with the magnetic block 52 of the toggle switch 5. The toggle switch 5 drives the magnetic block 52 to move in the toggle process, the Hall sensor 4 detects the change of the magnetic field so as to convert a changed magnetic field signal into the voltage signal and output the same to the MCU, the MCU can detect the position of the toggle switch 5 after processing the voltage signal and can receive the locking signal or the unlocking signal of the toggle switch, in combination with a digital signal of the illumination switch 7, after program logic operation, the MCU can obtain an instruction for controlling connection and disconnection of the lamp bead driving circuit and transmit the instruction to the lamp bead driving circuit, thereby adjusting the working state thereof, and achieving connection and disconnection of the lamp bead driving circuit.


As an example, in this embodiment, signal transmission can be performed on the MCU by means of a toggle stop block and an optical sensor, thereby transmitting the locking signal or the unlocking signal. An external signal transmission element can also be used to transmit the locking signal or the unlocking signal to the MCU, and then the MCU further recognizes and judges the digital signal of the illumination switch 7 so as to determine transmission of the connection instruction or the disconnection instruction to the lamp bead driving circuit. Therefore, the transmission manner for the locking signal and the unlocking signal is not specified restrictively in this embodiment.
