DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the present invention provides a lamp with a quick-release battery. The lamp mainly includes three main parts: a lamp holder 1, a lamp body 2, and a battery pack 3. The lamp has good modularity, and is convenient to assemble and maintain.


The lamp holder 1 is a basic part of the entire lamp. A battery compartment 11 is designed inside the lamp holder 1, and the battery compartment 11 is provided with an opening at one side for the battery pack 3 to be inserted and taken out smoothly.


The battery pack 3 is a power supply unit of the lamp. To achieve the function of quick assembly and disassembly, a sub-buckle 31 is arranged on the end face of the battery pack 3. The design of the sub-buckle 31 utilizes the principle of mechanical structure, and can achieve a quick and stable connection with a clamping component 4 on the lamp holder 1.


The clamping component 4 is a core part of the present invention and is mounted on a corresponding side wall of the battery compartment 11. The clamping component 4 mainly includes the following parts:

    • (1) A clamping box 41: as a housing for the clamping component 4 and providing a mounting base for other components.
    • (2) A sliding block 42: mounted in the clamping box 41 so as to slide inward and outward. The design of the sliding block 42 enables a push-type operation of the entire clamping mechanism.
    • (3) A female buckle 43: arranged at an outer end of the sliding block 42, elastic, and extending out or retracting into the clamping box 41. When the female bucket is retracted into the clamping box 41, the female buckle 43 and the sub-buckle 31 can be mutually clamped, thereby achieving the fixation of the battery pack 3.
    • (4) A pressing-type elastic self-locking mechanism: arranged between the sliding block 42 and the clamping box 41 and as a key component for achieving the quick disassembly and assembly function.


The battery pack 3 of the present invention is simple, convenient and quick in disassembly and assembly processes. When the battery is mounted, the battery pack 3 only needs to be pushed directly into the battery compartment 11, and the sub-buckle 31 on the end face of the battery pack 3 can automatically clamp to the female buckle 43 to achieve quick mounting. When the battery pack is disassembled, the battery pack 3 may be automatically popped up only by pressing the battery pack 3 again, and the battery pack can be easily taken out. This design greatly simplifies the battery replacement and charging process and improves the user experience.


The design inspiration of the push-type elastic self-locking mechanism comes from the push-pop-up structure of the SIM card slot. Specifically, the mechanism includes the following parts:

    • (1) A guide groove 421: arranged on the sliding block 42 and as a track for movement of the pull rod 422.
    • (2) A pull rod 422: mounted in the clamping box 41 by a rotary connection, a free end of which is inserted into the guide groove 421 and can slide unidirectionally along the guide groove 421.
    • (3) A reset spring 423: arranged between the sliding block 42 and the clamping box 41 and elastically pressing the sliding block 42 outwards to ensure that the sliding block 42 is in an initial position when no external force is applied.


The guide groove 421 includes four interconnected sections:

    • (1) A front extension section 4211: extending from backward to forward.
    • (2) A rear turning section 4212: turning backward from the front extension section 4211.
    • (3) A front turning section 4213: turning forward from the rear turning section 4212.
    • (4) A rear extension section 4214: extending backward from the front turning section 4213.


These four sections are connected end to end in sequence to form a closed track. A stopping groove 4215 is further designed at the connection between the rear turning section 4212 and the front turning section 4213 for temporarily fixing the pull rod 422.


To further optimize the movement of the pull rod 422, steps 4216 that descend in sequence are arranged between the front extension section 4211 and the rear turning section 4212, between the rear turning section 4212 and the front turning section 4213, between the front turning section 4213 and the rear extension section 4214, and between the rear extension section 4214 and the front extension section 4211. This design enables the pull rod 422 to unidirectionally move more smoothly during the movement without moving in the opposite direction, and also provides a better positioning effect.


The female buckle 43 includes two elastic arms 431 arranged oppositely, and a space capable of accommodating the sub-buckle 31 is formed between the two elastic arms 431. When the female buckle 43 moves backward to retract into the clamping box 41, the two elastic arms 431 approach each other and clamp to the sub-buckle 31, thereby achieving a firm connection.


To ensure that the battery pack 3 can be inserted into the battery compartment 11 accurately, a guiding groove 32 is designed on a side surface of the battery pack 3, and correspondingly, a guide rail 12 that can slidably cooperate with the guiding groove 32 is arranged on a corresponding side surface of the battery compartment 11. This design not only ensures correct mounting of the battery pack 3, but also prevents damage due to incorrect operation.


The lamp of the present invention also takes mounting convenience into consideration. A mounting plate 5 is detachably connected to the lamp holder 1. The mounting plate 5 is typically mounted to a wall by fasteners, so that the entire lamp can be conveniently fixed in a desired position.


To further improve the mounting convenience, a magnetic connection structure is provided between the lamp holder 1 and the mounting plate 5. Specifically, a plurality of magnets 13 are arranged on the lamp holder 1, and the mounting plate 5 is made of iron. This design enables the lamp to be mounted and dismounted more simply and quickly, and the operation can be completed without using tools.


Finally, to ensure that the battery pack 3 can reliably supply power to the lamp, a conductive plug 33 and a conductive socket 14 which can be plugged into each other are respectively arranged on the battery pack 3 and a corresponding side wall of the battery compartment 11. This design not only ensures good electrical connection, but also prevents power supply problems due to poor contact.


In conclusion, the lamp with the quick-release battery provided by the present invention achieves quick disassembly and assembly of the battery pack by a smart structural design, and is greatly convenient for users to perform operations such as charging and battery replacement. Meanwhile, the modular design and magnetic mounting of the lamp with the quick-release battery also improve the overall use convenience of the lamp. This lamp is particularly suitable for scenarios where batteries need to be replaced frequently or used in different locations, and has broad application prospects.
