In a first embodiment, referring to
The light-emitting module of the floating projection decorative lamp of the present invention is of compact size, with a simple light-emitting mode. Moreover, it is capable of projecting patterns and light spots in water. The present invention can be inflated and is made of light-transmitting materials. It is provided with a solar panel integrated inside, thus obviating the necessity of charging or battery replacement. Moreover, it is equipped with a sensing device that can control the illumination of the floating projection decorative lamp according to the changes in the brightness of the surrounding light. The floating projection decorative lamp provided by the present invention has a simple structure, low cost, and compact size. It can provide users a better using experience.
In one embodiment, the light-emitting module arranged in the outer casing directs light onto the mapping part. After passing through the transmissive pattern on the mapping part, projection patterns corresponding to the transmissive pattern can be presented in water.
The main body part 21 encloses a first accommodating space 24, the mapping part 22 is connected to the bottom of the main body part 21 and encloses a second accommodating space 25 together with the main body part 21, and the light emitting module 30 is arranged in the second accommodating space 25.
Specifically, the first accommodating space is located above the second accommodating space. The first accommodating space can be inflated to ensure that the floating projection decorative lamp floats in water. The light-emitting module is positioned in the second accommodating space, which enables the position of the light-emitting module to be adjacent to the transmissive pattern. This way, it maximizes the utilization of the light emitted by the light-emitting module and reduces the attenuation of the light.
The main body part 21 is made of a flexible inflatable material, and the first accommodating space 24 is configured for filling with air. The mapping part 22 is made of the same material as the main body part 21, and a volume of the second accommodating space 25 is smaller than a volume of the first accommodating space 24.
Specifically, the main body part 21 can be fabricated from flexible inflatable materials such as rubber, latex, or soft plastic. The first accommodating space can provide buoyancy for the floating projection decorative lamp after being inflated, and the second accommodating space is smaller than the first accommodating space. By reducing the second accommodating space to the maximum extent, the first accommodating space becomes larger. Consequently, larger buoyancy can be provided for the floating projection decorative lamp.
The light-emitting module 30 includes a housing 31 and a first light source 32 arranged in the housing 31, a light-passing opening 33 is arranged on one side of the housing 31 facing the transmissive pattern 23, and the first light source 32 is arranged in the light-passing opening 33. Specifically, the housing 31 is assembled from two housing parts. The first light source is comparatively close to the light-passing opening, and the area of the light-passing opening is comparatively large. Such a design enables more light to be emitted by the first light source, which can then pass through the light-passing opening and shine onto the transmissive pattern.
The light emitting module 30 further includes a circuit board 34 and a battery 35 arranged in the housing 31, the first light source 32 is arranged on the circuit board 34, and the battery 35, the circuit board 34 and the first light source 32 are electrically connected in sequence, thereby enabling the battery to supply power to the first light source through the circuit board.
The light emitting module 30 further includes a solar panel 311, the solar panel 311 is arranged on an outside of the housing 31, the solar panel 311 is positioned to face upward, and the solar panel 311 is electrically connected to the circuit board 34. It can be understood that the solar panel can absorb external light to charge the battery. This enables the floating projection decorative lamp to avoid the need for battery replacement or manual charging, which provides convenience for users.
The light emitting module 30 further includes a sensing device 37 arranged on the circuit board 34, the housing 31 is provided with a through hole 312, the through hole 312 is arranged to face upward, and the sensing device 37 corresponds to a position of the through hole 312. It can be understood that the sensing device can receive the changes in external light through the through hole. When the external light is too dim, the sensing device can send a signal to the main board, causing the main board to power on all the light sources. When the external light is too bright, the sensing device can send a signal to the main board, causing the main board to power off all the light sources. In this way, the floating projection decorative lamp can automatically turn off its light sources during the day and turn them on at night, providing more convenience for users.
The light emitting module 30 further includes a diffusing paper 38, and the diffusing paper is fitted over the through hole. It can be understood that the diffusing paper 38 is fitted over the through hole, which can enable the light covering the diffuser paper to be projected onto the sensing device more evenly, and protect the sensing device inside the through hole from being damaged.
The outer casing 20 is made of a light-transmitting material, enabling the solar panel arranged inside to receive light, thereby charging the floating projection decorative lamp.
The mapping part 22 includes a bottom housing 221, and the transmissive pattern 23 is arranged on the bottom housing 221. However, it can be understood that in some embodiments, no transmissive pattern is arranged on the bottom housing.
The bottom housing 221 is made of PVC. PVC materials have a broad range of applications, which leads to their relatively low cost. Moreover, PVC materials feature high strength and corrosion resistance. Therefore, PVC materials are employed for the bottom housing. Even when the bottom housing is in long-term contact with the water surface, the service life of the bottom housing can be extended.
The transmissive pattern 23 is printed by silk-screening on the bottom housing 221. It can be understood that the cost of silk-screen printing is relatively low, thus enabling further cost reduction.
A shape of the transmissive pattern 23 can be any one or combination of an animal shape, a plant shape, a geometric shape and an irregular shape. It can be understood that the transmissive pattern 23 can be in a variety of styles. For example, when the transmissive pattern is in the shape of a flamingo, the floating projection decorative lamp can project the pattern shape of the flamingo in the water. This not only increases the interest but also provides users with various choices.
The floating projection decorative lamp 10 further includes a protective cover 40, the protective cover 40 is arranged in the second accommodating space 25, and the protective cover is located above the transmissive pattern 23. It can be understood that the protective cover is located above the transmissive pattern to protect the transmissive pattern from being crushed.
The protective cover 40 is made of a transparent material. Using a transparent material for the protective cover can reduce the loss of light intensity.
The light emitting module 30 further includes a light-gathering cover 39, the light-gathering cover 39 is connected to the light-passing opening 33, and a plurality of transparent protrusions 391 are arranged on an inner sidewall of the light-gathering cover 39.
In some embodiments, the light-emitting module further includes the light-gathering cover. No transmissive pattern is arranged on the mapping part. The light-gathering cover is made of a transparent material. The transparent protrusions arranged on the inner sidewall of the light-gathering cover can play a role in converging light rays, so that light spots can be presented on the water surface after passing through the mapping part. The light-emitting module 30 is detachably connected to the main body part 21.
Referring to
The light emitting module 30 further includes a second light source 321, the second light source 321 is electrically connected to the circuit board 34, and the second light source 321 is arranged towards the main body part 21. The second light source can illuminate an upper portion of the floating projection decorative lamp to provide a better experience for users.
A first light-transmitting cover 314 is arranged on one sidewall of the housing 31 towards the main body part 21, and a position of the first light-transmitting cover 314 corresponds to the second light source 321; a second light-transmitting cover 313 is arranged on one sidewall of the housing 31 away from the main body part 21, and a position of the second light-transmitting cover 313 corresponds to the first light source 32.
Evidently, the first light-transmitting cover is made of a transparent material, which enables the light emitted by the second light source to pass through and illuminate the area above. Meanwhile, the second light-transmitting cover is also made of a transparent material, allowing the light emitted by the first light source to pass through and shine into the water.
The floating projection decorative lamp 10 further includes an inflation port 50, and the inflation port 50 is arranged on a sidewall of the main body part 21; the floating projection decorative lamp further includes a hanging head 60, and the hanging head 60 is arranged at a top of the floating projection decorative lamp 10.
