In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1 and in combination with FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 11, the variable resistance power adjustment device is used for adjusting the power of the lamp body 4. The variable resistance power adjustment device compromises: mounting base 1, keycap 2 and resistance adjustment module. Mounting base 1 is fixed to the lamp body 4, working with the lamp body 4 to form a mounting cavity 121 in an enclosure way, mounting base 1 is provided with a through-hole 122 connecting to the mounting cavity 121; the keycap 2 connects to the mounting base 1 flexibly and stretches into the through-hole 122 partially; resistance adjustment module is provided in the mounting cavity 121, the adjustment part of the resistance adjustment module connects to the keycap 2, and the resistance adjustment module connects to the driving power supply of the lamp body 4 electrically.

Wherein, the adjustment part of the resistance adjustment module refers to the flexible switch on the resistance adjustment module. For example, the resistance adjustment module comprises a knob-type potentiometer, and the adjustment part refers to the knob switch on the knob-type potentiometer. The knob switch connects to the keycap 2, rotation of the keycap 2 will drive the knob switch to rotate, so that certain resistance is switched in the driving power supply of the lamp body 4 directly from the knob-type potentiometer.

Understandably, the through-hole 122 passes through two surfaces of the mounting base 1, and the through-hole 122 can be a circular or rectangular hole. When the through-hole 122 is a circular hole, the resistance adjustment module can comprise a knob-type potentiometer, the keycap 2 connects to the adjustment part of the knob-type potentiometer, the keycap 2 rotates in the through-hole 122 to adjust the value of resistance switched in the driving power supply from the knob-type potentiometer, so that the luminescence power of the lamp body 4 is adjusted; When the through-hole 122 is a circular hole, the resistance adjustment module can comprise a slide-type potentiometer 3, the keycap 2 connects to the adjustment part of the knob-type potentiometer, the keycap 2 rotates in the through-hole 122 to adjust the value of resistance switched in the driving power supply from the knob-type potentiometer, so that the luminescence power of the lamp body 4 is adjusted.

In the embodiments of utility mode, the lamp body 4 provided with a mounting base 1 where the keycap 2 and the resistance adjustment module are installed, so that the resistance adjustment module can change the value of resistance switched in the driving power supply of the lamp body 4 and then the luminescence power of the lamp body is changed. Wherein, the resistance adjustment module also comprises knob-type potentiometer or a slide-type potentiometer 3, that is, the user can make the keycap 2 slide in the through-hole 122 to adjust the value of resistance switched in the driving power supply from the resistance adjustment module; or, the user can rotate keycap 2 to make it rotate in the through-hole 122 to adjust the value of resistance switched in the driving power supply from the resistance adjustment module. The variable resistance power adjustment device of present disclosure simplifies the power control mode of the lamp and improves the working stability of the lamp.

In the practical application of this embodiment, in combination with FIG. 4, the mounting base 1 can be provided on lamp body 4 in a clamping way; or the mounting base 1 can be fixed to the lamp body 4 with screws. Wherein, when the mounting base 1 is installed to the lamp body 4, there is a space between the partial area of the mounting base 1 and the lamp body 4, forming the mounting cavity 121; in other words, the mounting base 1 can be a plane structure, the lamp body 4 is provided with a concave slot, when the mounting base 1 is installed to the lamp body 4, the mounting base 1 covers the concave slot to form the mounting cavity 121; or, the mounting base 1 is provided with a concave slot, the surface of the lamp body 4 facing the mounting base 1 can be a plane structure, when the mounting base 1 is installed to the lamp body 4, the mounting base 1 works and the lamp body 4 form the mounting cavity 121 in an enclosure way.

Based on the afore the contents, the mounting base 1 works and the lamp body 4 to form the mounting cavity 121 in an enclosure way, and to facilitate installation of the keycap 2, the through-hole 122 is provided correspondingly to the mounting cavity 121; in other words, the through-hole 122 passes through the opposite two surfaces of the mounting base 1, so that the resistance adjustment module is provided in the mounting cavity 121 and is exposed to the through-hole 122 partially, the keycap 2 can pass through the through-hole 122, and the part of the keycap 2 passing through the through-hole 122 connects to the adjustment part of the resistance adjustment module.

In the practical application of this embodiment, in combination with FIG. 4, the keycap 2 connects to the mounting base 1 flexibly, which means that: the surface of the keycap 2 facing the mounting base 1 is provided with a protruding fastening part 24, the fastening part 24 of the keycap 2 passes through the through-hole 122, so that the fastening part 24 fits the button stand on the internal wall of the keycap 2 and the keycap 2 can rotate or slide in the through-hole 122; or the periphery of the keycap 2 is provided with protruding parts, the mounting base 1 is provided with limit slots 125, and protruding parts can be provided in the limit slots 125 in a slide way.

In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the resistance adjustment module comprises a fixed resistor and potentiometer 3, fixed resistor and potentiometer 3 are switched in the driving power supply of the lamp body 4 in series, and the adjustment part of potentiometer 3 connects to the keycap 2. Understandably, when the value of resistance switched in the driving power supply from the potentiometer 3 is 0, only the fixed resistor is switched in the driving power supply to adjust the current passing through the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3, and, in such a way, the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 serve as the component of adjusting the luminescence power of the lamp body 4 to improve the accuracy of the luminescence power of the lamp body 4.

Understandably, in combination with FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 connect in series as a whole. After the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 connect in series, they connect to the luminous module 46 of the lamp body 4 in parallel, i.e., the luminous module 46 connects to the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 in parallel and then is switched in the driving power supply.

Optionally, the fixed resistors resistance can be any numerical value. For example, the resistance of fixed resistor could be 5Ω, 10Ω, 15Ω, etc. Of course, the resistance of the fixed resistor can also be adjusted according to the actual industrial design.

Optionally, the resistance of the potentiometer 3 can be 0Ω-2 kΩ.

Optionally, the resistance of the potentiometer 3 can be 0Ω-2 kΩ. When the luminescence power of the lamp body 4 is adjustable, the potentiometer 3 with a corresponding resistance range can be replaced as needed.

In the practical application of this embodiment, the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 are connected in series and then are switched in the driving power supply of the lamp body 4, so that the luminescence power of the luminous module 46 can be adjusted by using the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 to improve the corresponding precision of the resistance and adjustment parameter.

Specifically, for the afore the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 switched into the driving power supply, it can be understood as:

assuming that the resistance of the knob-type potentiometer is 0Ω-2 kΩ, the designed rated rotating angle range of the knob switch of the knob-type potentiometer is 0°-240°; wherein, when the adjustment angle of the knob switch of the knob-type potentiometer is 0° or 240°, the adjustment angle 0° is corresponding to 0Ω, and the adjustment angle 240° is corresponding to 2 kΩ, and, between 0°-240°, the value of resistance switched into the driving power supply gets bigger gradually.

In the practical application, when the knob-type potentiometer is applied to the driving power supply, not all the corresponding light adjustment effect between the adjustment range of 0° and 240° could be generated, but the light adjustment effect is good. Its working characteristics include: for the potentiometer within a low resistance range, the light adjustment sensitivity is too high, the power declines or rises too quickly, and flashing is likely to happen; within a high resistance range, the light adjustment sensitivity is too low, the power hardly changes when the resistance value is changed, and the luminance of the lamp is not obvious; within a middle resistance range, the light adjustment effect is good, and the power adjustment precision is high. For example: Usually, the adjustment angle of the knob switch of the knob-type potentiometer is 30°-210°, and its resistance value change within this range is suitable for power adjustment of the lamp body 4. The user can rotate the keycap 2 to realize rotation of the knob switch of the knob-type potentiometer within 30°-210°;

However, in actual situations, the range of the power of the lamp body 4 to be adjusted is certain, such as 20%-100%. When the adjustment angle of the potentiometer 3 is 30°, if the rotation angle is small, the actual resistance change of the potentiometer 3 is small, the power changes too fast, the power adjustment sensitivity is too high, as a result, the power of the lamp body 4 does not maintain 20%, and the actual power may be 15%. Therefore, the potentiometer 3 is provided with a fixed resistor in series, so the cooperation between the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 makes the overall resistance maintain a medium resistance range, improving the power adjustment precision; in addition, through the setting of the specification of the fixed resistor, the power of the lamp is just 20% when the adjustment angle of the potentiometer 3 is 30°. Compared with the application of the single potentiometer 3, the cooperation of the fixed resistor and the potentiometer 3 can improve the adjustment sensitivity.

So, the fixed resistor can work with the knob-type potentiometer to correct power. Through switching the fixed resistor (as a reference value) into the driving power supply, the potentiometer 3 with a small resistance value can be applied instead of a large resistance value, effectively reducing the production cost and improving the stability of the adjustment system.

In combination with FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the variable resistance power adjustment device can be switched into the primary coil of the transformer of the driving power supply or the secondary coil of the transformer of the driving power supply. Wherein, the principle of the solution is explained by taking the switch of the variable resistance power adjustment device in the primary coil of the transformer of the driving power supply as an example. Specific contents are as follows:

In combination with FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, when the resistance adjustment module connects to one end of the primary coil of the transformer of the driving power supply, it can be avoided that another resistance adjustment module set on the secondary coil of the transformer, achieving a simple circuit structure and lowering the cost. When the external power supply end is switched into the alternating current, after filtering by the rectifier, the primary coil and the secondary coil of the transformer convert voltage into that needed in working of the luminous module 46, the alternating current is converted into the direct current needed in working of the luminous module 46 through the rectifying circuit, and there is a power control circuit between the filtering circuit of the driving power supply and the transformer to control the output power of the driving power supply. In other words, the potentiometer of the variable resistance power adjustment device connects to the adjustment interface of the power control circuit of the driving power supply.

In combination with FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, U1 chip in this embodiment can be a regular chip. For example, Chip LZC8620. Specifically, the RN port of U1 chip connects to the potentiometer to coordinate with U1 chip to adjust the control mode of the primary coil of the transformer and then adjust the output power of the driving power supply.

In regular circuits, the power may be adjusted by connecting a thermistor to the driving power supply. In such a way, the control precision is low, and the power cannot be adjusted effectively. Or the driving power supply can be provided with several control circuits, but it will cause a high cost, and products are very complex and cannot be manufactured effectively. In this embodiment, by switching the resistance adjustment module in the driving power supply in this embodiment, the luminescence power of the lamp body can be controlled effectively, and the control precision is high.

As shown in the following FIG. 14, this is a schematic diagram of the circuit of a complete embodiment. Wherein, TH2 is potentiometer 3 whose resistance is 0-2 KΩ; R35 is a fixed resistor (9.53 KΩ) connecting to TH2 in series and used for adjusting the minimum power of the lamp.

In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, in combination with FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the potentiometer 3 is a knob-type potentiometer; the surface of the keycap 2 facing the mounting base 1 is provided with connecting rod 21 which passes through the through-hole 122 and connects to the knob-type potentiometer.

In this embodiment, the mounting wall is provided with a knob-type potentiometer inside, by which the mounting base 1 only needs to be provided with a rectangular or circular through-hole 122, avoiding that the through-hole 122 covers a large area of the mounting base 1 and improving the external compactness of the variable resistance power adjustment device. In another aspect, the keycap 2 is used for rotating the knob-type potentiometer to adjust the resistance switched on the driving power supply, achieving high adjustment flexibility.

In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, in combination with FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the external surface of the mounting base 1 is also provided with limit slot 125 which is provided around the through-hole 122.

In combination with FIG. 10, the surface of the keycap 2 facing the mounting base 1 is provided with limit post 23 which is in parallel with connecting rod 21, and limit post 23 can be provided in limit slot 125 in a slide way.

In this embodiment, the external surface of the mounting base 1 is also provided with limit slot 125, the keycap 2 is provided with limit post 23 corresponding to limit slot 125, limit post 23 can be provided in limit slot 125 in a slide way to limit rotation angles of the keycap 2 and avoid damage to the potentiometer 3 caused by excessive rotation of the keycap 2.

In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, in combination with FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the external surface of the mounting base 1 is also provided with several locating slots 123 which are set around the through-hole 122 in a circle, and several locating slots 123 and limit slot 125 are provided at intervals;

In combination with FIG. 10, the surface of the keycap 2 facing the mounting base 1 is provided with positioning column 22 which are in parallel with connecting rod 21, and positioning column 22 can be provided in locating slots 123 in a slide way.

In this embodiment, the external surface is also provided with several locating slots 123 which are set around the through-hole 122 in a circle, the keycap 2 is provided with positioning column 22 corresponding to several locating slots 123. Wherein the keycap 2 rotates, the locating post 22 moves from one locating slot 123 to another locating slot 123. During this process, the internal wall of several locating slots 123 plays an impediment role in the motion of the locating post 22, avoiding damage to the potentiometer 3 caused by too fast rotation of the keycap 2.

Optionally, several locating slots 123 and limit slots 125 are provided around the through-hole 122 partially or wholly, several locating slots 123 and limit slots 125 are provided at intervals, i.e., the circumference of several locating slots 123 and that of limit slot 125 are set at intervals.

Understandably, in combination with FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the locating slots 123 can be slot formed through the sinking of the mounting base 1. Or, the mounting base 1 can be provided with several locating bars 124, and two adjacent locating bars 124 work to form locating slots 123.

In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, two adjacent the locating bars 124 provided at intervals to form locating slots 123, in combination with FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, the surface of the mounting base 1 facing the keycap 2 is provided with several locating bars 124 which are provided in a radiation shape centering on the through-hole 122.

In this embodiment, a structure characterized in that several locating bars 124 form several locating slots 123 are applied to enhance the thickness of locating slots 123, so that the service life of the variable resistance power adjustment device can be improved.

In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, limit slots 125 are provided in an arc shape, the angle between connection lines of two ends of limit slot 125 and the through-hole 122 is α, the rotating angle of the potentiometer 3 is β, and α≤β. In other words, the length of the limit slot 125 is no more than the stroke of rotation of the potentiometer 3 driven by the keycap 2, avoiding damage to the potentiometer 3.

In another aspect, the other important reason of α≤β is: regular potentiometers can hardly realize even light adjustment within it resistance adjustment range; in other words, for the potentiometer within a low resistance range, the light adjustment sensitivity is too high, flashing is likely to happen, and the performance is unstable; when the potentiometer is adjusted within a high resistance range, the light adjustment sensitivity is too low, the power hardly changes when the resistance value is changed, and the luminance of the lamp is not obvious; i.e., for the potentiometer within a medium resistance range, the light adjustment effect is good. So, the deficiency of the adjustment precision difference needs to be overcome through structural design of the adjustment device. By selecting a medium adjustment angle γ of the potentiometer with a certain light adjustment effect and making any in structure design, the potentiometer will be limited to rotating only within an angle range which can achieve a good light adjustment effect, ensuring that the light adjustment effect is good within the whole rotation range of the keycap.
