The disclosure relates to the technical field of lighting, and relates to a lighting apparatus.
With the continuous development of human society, lighting apparatuses have become increasingly indispensable in people's lives. People need various lighting apparatuses for different occasions. However, existing lighting apparatuses have fixed lighting positions, so that the lighting angle and the lighting range are not adjustable, the diversified needs of users cannot be met, and the same lighting apparatus has a relatively simple function. In a case of different user needs, different lighting apparatuses need to be replaced, and the purchase of various lighting apparatuses results in a waste of resources, increased costs, and a waste of a storage space.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure provides a lighting apparatus which is capable of flexibly adjusting the lighting angle and the lighting range to overcome the problem that the lighting angle and the lighting range of existing lighting apparatuses are not adjustable.
In order to achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted by the disclosure is that: a lighting apparatus includes an end cover, at least two light-emitting modules and a cylinder body which are sequentially disposed, and further includes a telescopic sleeve rod. The at least two light-emitting modules are disposed in a surrounding manner, one end of each light-emitting module is hinged to the end cover while the other end of each light-emitting module is detachably connected with the cylinder body, the telescopic sleeve rod penetrates through an inner space formed by the at least two light-emitting modules in a surrounding manner, and one end of the telescopic sleeve rod is connected with the cylinder body while the other end of the telescopic sleeve rod is connected with the end cover.
The lighting apparatus in the above solution is retractable to adjust the lighting height, and the light-emitting modules are adjusted from different angles to achieve lighting in different directions. The lighting apparatus achieves different lighting functions in unfolding and folding states, which meets the diversified needs of people, and is suitable for different occasions. Furthermore, the lighting apparatus is relatively small in the folding state, so that a storage space is saved. Specifically, the light-emitting modules provide the lighting function, and the cylinder body is configured to provide installation support. The telescopic sleeve rod is retractable to push the end cover forward or to contract, while driving the light-emitting modules to move forward or contract to adjust the lighting height, so as to change the lighting range and brightness. Each light-emitting module is hinged to the end cover to achieve the rotation of the light-emitting module relative to the end cover, so as to change the irradiation angle and the lighting direction of the light-emitting module to achieve lighting in different directions. The plurality of light-emitting modules are arranged in a surrounding manner to form a whole with the cylinder body in the folding state, and the plurality of light-emitting modules arranged in a surrounding manner enhance the lighting brightness.
In some embodiments, the number of light-emitting modules is two, and the two light-emitting modules are symmetrically disposed about the cylinder body. The two light-emitting modules abut against each other, and each light-emitting module is hinged to the end cover and in clamped connection with the cylinder body, so that the lighting apparatus is fixed after the light-emitting module is in clamped connection with the cylinder body, and when the lighting apparatus is unfolded, only a clamped connection between the light-emitting module and the cylinder body needs to be released, so that the end, far away from the end cover, of the light-emitting module becomes a free end, the light-emitting module rotates relative to the end cover as needed to adjust the angle of the light-emitting module, and then the lighting direction and the lighting range are changed. The light-emitting modules are symmetrically arranged, so that the lighting intensity is increased. When light condensation is needed, the two light-emitting modules arranged opposite to each other, so that the light is gathered towards the middle to increase the lighting brightness. When the irradiation range is relatively large, the two light-emitting modules are arranged back to each other to diverge light and expand the lighting range.
In some embodiments, the lighting apparatus further includes two connecting rods; one end of each of two connecting rods is hinged to the end cover while the other end of the two connecting rods is hinged to the light-emitting module. The connecting rods are taken as a connection bridge between the light-emitting modules and the end cover. Through the connecting rods, the angle of the light-emitting modules is adjusted conveniently, so that the light-emitting modules not only rotate with the end cover as the center, but also swing up and down or left and right, so as to achieve the adjustment at any angle, reduce the limitation on the rotation of the light-emitting modules, and further expand the flexibility of the lighting direction.
In some embodiments, the lighting apparatus includes a damping structure, the damping structure is disposed on the hinged positions of the connecting rods and the light-emitting modules. Through the arrangement of the damping structure, after the light-emitting modules adjust the rotation or swing angle relative to the connecting rods, the positions of the light-emitting modules and the connecting rods remain unchanged, and the angle does not change due to the gravity of the light-emitting modules. The damping structure makes the rotation or swing of the light-emitting modules relative to the connecting rods need to overcome a certain resistance, so as to prevent the non-human rotation affecting the positions of the light-emitting modules, thereby ensuring that the light-emitting modules always maintain the original irradiation range and irradiation direction unchanged during use.
In some embodiments, the lighting apparatus further includes a storage battery. The storage battery is disposed in the cylinder body, and the storage battery is electrically connected with the at least two light-emitting modules. The storage battery can be installed in the cylinder body, and the cylinder body protects the storage battery. The storage battery supplies power to the light-emitting modules to increase the applicable occasions of the lighting apparatus. An external power supply is not needed, so that the convenience for outdoor use is achieved. Specifically, spring wires are arranged in the cylinder body, so that the light-emitting modules are electrically connected to the storage battery through the spring wires.
In some embodiments, the lighting apparatus further includes a connecting seat, and the connecting seat is disposed on the end cover, the telescopic sleeve rod is in inserted connection with the connecting seat, and the light-emitting module is hinged to the connecting seat. The end of the telescopic sleeve rod is in inserted connection with the middle of the connecting seat, and a threaded connection can also be increased on the basis of an inserted connection to increase the reliability of the connection between the telescopic sleeve rod and the connecting seat. The light-emitting modules are hinged to a side of the connecting seat, so that the light-emitting modules rotate relative to the connecting seat. Specifically, the connecting rods are hinged to the connecting seat, and then the connecting rods are hinged to the light-emitting modules, and through the rotation of the connecting rods and connecting seat, changes in angles of the light-emitting modules relative to the connecting seat are achieved. The end cover is connected to the connecting seat and covers the connecting seat. Preferably, through the arrangement of the shape of the connecting seat, the limitation on the rotation angles of the connecting rods is formed to a certain extent, so that the connecting rods only rotate within the range of 0 to 90 degrees, which is convenient for the folding and unfolding of the light-emitting modules. The two connecting rods are located on both sides of the connecting seat, and are arranged symmetrically. When the two connecting rods are transverse I-shaped, the two connecting rods are arranged collinearly, and the lighting apparatus is in an unfolded state at this time. When the two connecting rods are parallel to each other, the light-emitting modules are in clamped connection with the cylinder body, and the lighting apparatus is in a folded state at this time.
