An electronic light source is a kind of apparatus or device converted electric energy into light energy. Conventional electronic light sources include bulb-lamps, candle-lamps, corn-lamps, lamp-cups, cross-inserting lamps, fluorescent lamps and the like. A conventional LED electronic light source usually emits light by using a holder such as E26, E27, E39, E40, B22, G24 and other traditional holders.

A corresponding light emitting mode of different lamp housings is different which can include a plurality of directions such as downward, obliquely downward, left and right, front and rear, obliquely upward, one-side and upward directions. In order to obtain the light emitting modes mentioned above, a full-angle electronic light source can be selected. However, extra light can be generated by its non-illuminated angle or area of the electronic light source, resulting in light pollution and waste of electric energy.

A conventional LED lotus lamp is disclosed in CN patent NO. 2017218980605 that its emitting light direction can be adjusted by rotating a plurality of light modules uniformly arranged around a lamp body.

Of course, in other exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, it is also within the protection scope of the present disclosure to design the number of the connecting portion 4 and the illuminant 5 into other quantities, based on the design features of the present disclosure.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the illuminant 5 is semicircular, and the pair of illuminants 5 cooperatively forms a circular illuminant surface.

Furthermore, the illuminant 5 includes a lamp plate 51, a lampshade 52 for sealing and protecting the lamp plate 51, and a heat sink arranged on the back of the illuminant 5. The heat sink includes a number of cooling fins 53 for heat dissipation of the lamp plate 51, and the lamp plate 51 includes a number of LEDs 54 arranged thereon in a matrix.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the lamp plate 51 is arranged on the front of the illuminant 5, and the plurality of cooling fins 53 is arranged on the back of the illuminant 5. In this way, when adjusting the luminous angle of the illuminant 5, the lamp plate 51 is rotated toward a desired side, and the cooling fin 53 is rotated to face away from the desired side, thereby achieving the effect of suppressing light pollution and reducing the waste of electric energy.

Furthermore, the fixing portion 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 6 and includes a pair of holding portions 7 formed on two opposite sides thereof for providing a rotational space for the at least one illuminant 5.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the pair of holding portions 7 is arranged to provide enough rotational space for the illuminant 5 so that its rotation angle of the illuminant 5 can't be limited by the housing 6 and the fixing portion 3.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the power supply 8 is configured to control a plurality of operating modes of the illuminant 5, such as providing a corresponding current, voltage, or controlling its activation and extinction for the illuminant 5. Furthermore, the power supply 8 is independently designed and a power supply module composed of the power supply 8 and the housing 6 is separated from the illuminant 5, which can improve the heat dissipation performance of the product and realize the application of higher power products.

Furthermore, the fixing portion 3 further includes a connecting end 30, an inserting end 31 inserted into the connecting end 30, and a cover 32 fixedly connected to the connecting end 31 to cover on an end portion 30a of the connecting end 30 far away from the inserting end 31.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting end 30 is an internal-hollow configuration. The cover 32 is fixed on the inserting end 31 and cover on the end portion 30a of the connecting end 30 with screws so that the connecting end 30 can't be separated from the inserting end 31, which is easy to operate and fixed firmly.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, both the inserting end 31 and the cover 32 are made of a plastic material or combination of plastic materials, and the connecting end 30 is made of a metal material or combination of metal materials, which can improve the mechanical strength of the product, as well as the manufacturing efficiency and assembly speed of various parts.

In this way, the illuminant 5 can be further effectively controlled by the expansion control interface 320, such as adjusting the brightness of the illuminant 5 and opening or closing the illuminant 5.

Furthermore, the connecting portion 4 includes a sleeve 44 and an internal-hollow axis 45 sleeved on the sleeve 44 and rotated relative to the sleeve 44.

Specifically, the axis 45 further includes a first sliding groove 450, a second sliding groove 451 and a snap spring 452 sleeved around the first sliding groove 450. The sleeve 44 includes a limiting recess 440 for positioning the snap spring 452 thereon. When the axis 45 is rotated relative to the sleeve 44, the snap spring 452 can prevent the sleeve 44 from disengaging from the axis 45 so that the sleeve 44 can only axially rotate rather than axially move. A ball 441 is formed between the sleeve 44 and the axis 45 and can slide in the second sliding groove 451. The second sliding groove 451 is an eccentric-groove configuration to limit a rotation angle of the sleeve 44 relative to the axis 45.

Furthermore, the connecting end 30 includes a fixing groove 300, and the axis 45 includes a fixing member 40 formed on its distal end 45a for engaging with the fixing groove 300.

Furthermore, the axis 45 includes an elastic element 42, and a blocking portion 43 connected to the elastic element 42 and in contact with the rotating member 50.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the axis 45 is an internal-hollow configuration for receiving the elastic element 42 therein. The elastic element 42 is a spring and the blocking portion 43 is a gasket. When the rotating member 50 is rotated in the installing portion 41, the elastic element 42 is compressed so that the rotating member 50, the sleeve 44 and the axis 45 are all damped during their rotations without needing for external adjustment. Thus, it is convenient to adjust the luminous angle when the lamp is used, and the wires between the power supply 8 and the illuminant 5 can be protected by the elastic element 42.

Furthermore, the housing 6 includes a sealing plate 60, a first block 61 arranged on the inner wall 6a of the housing 6, and a spring 600 perpendicularly fixed with the sealing plate 60 and including a rib 601 protruding outward from the outer wall of the spring 600. While, the holder 1 includes a second block 11 and an internal gear 10 formed inside the holder 1. The spring plate 60 is inserted into the holder 1 so that the rib 601 is embedded in the internal gear 10, and the holder 1 is stopped rotating relative to the housing 6 when the second block 11 is resisted against the first block 61.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first block 61 is arranged on the inner wall 6a of the housing 6, and the rib 601 is a long strip structure with a semi-circular section. The holder 1 is sleeved around the housing 6 so that the spring plate 60 is inserted into the holder 1 and the rib 601 is embedded in the internal gear 10. There is a number of springs 600 to form a circle there between and a corresponding number of ribs 601 is arranged. When the holder 1 rotating relative to the housing 6, the rib 601 is slid on the internal gear 10 to produce a damping effect there between. While, the holder 1 is stopped rotating relative to the housing 6 when the second block 11 is resisted against the first block 61. The first block 61 and the second block 11 cooperate together to function as a limit member.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the illuminant 5 is rotated relative to the connecting portion 4, the connecting portion 4 is rotated relative to the fixing portion 3, and the holder 1 is rotated relative to the housing 6 so that they are all damped during their rotations, thereby the luminous angle can be conveniently adjusted during using the lamp.
