Abstract

A charging device for a light includes a light body and a charging assembly which is connected to the light body. The light body has a printed circuit board disposed therein. The charging assembly is electrically connected to the printed circuit board. The charging assembly has a base, an electrical connecting plate and a plurality of wires. The electrical connecting plate is connected to one side of the base. The wires are connected to another side of the base. The electrical connecting plate pivots and bends relative to the base. A plurality of metal conductors is disposed on the electrical connecting plate. Under this arrangement, when the light body needs to be charged, the electrical connecting plate is pulled up and inserted into a port of a computer.

Claims

1. A charging device for a light comprising a light body and a charging assembly which is connected to the light body;

the light body having a printed circuit board disposed therein;

the charging assembly electrically connected to the printed circuit board, the charging assembly having a base, an electrical connecting plate and a plurality of wires, the electrical connecting plate connected to one side of the base, the wires connected to another side of the base, the electrical connecting plate pivoting and bending relative to the base, a plurality of metal conductors disposed on the electrical connecting plate, one portion of each metal conductor exposed out of the electrical connecting plate, another portion of each metal conductor disposed into the electrical connecting plate; and

one end of each wire inserted into another side of the base and connected to one end of another portion of each metal conductor, another end of each wire electrically connected to the printed circuit board.

2. The charging device for a light as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrical connecting plate has a bending portion and a connecting portion defined thereon;

one end of the bending portion is connected to the base;

another end of the bending portion is connected to one end of the connecting portion;

the bending portion has an inner plate and a casing unit which covers the inner plate defined thereon.

3. The charging device for a light as claimed in claim 2, wherein one end of the inner plate is connected to the base;

a wrinkling segment is defined at one end of the inner plate;

the casing unit covers the wrinkling segment.

4. The charging device for a light as claimed in claim 2, wherein a flexible and thin segment is defined at one end of the inner plate;

the casing unit covers the flexible and thin segment.

5. The charging device for a light as claimed in claim 2, wherein a plurality of guiding grooves is opened on the inner plate and corresponds to the metal conductors and the wires;

another end of another portion of each metal conductor is embedded into one end of each corresponding groove;

one portion of each metal conductor abuts against the connecting portion;

the casing unit covers another end of another portion of each metal conductor.

6. The charging device for a light as claimed in claim 5, wherein one end of each wire is inserted into another side of the base;

one end of each wire is pulled out from one side of the base and inserted into each corresponding guiding groove;

one end of each wire is connected to one end of another portion of each metal conductor.

7. The charging device for a light as claimed in claim 2, wherein a receiving segment is defined at one side of the connecting portion;

the metal conductors abut against the receiving segment.

8. The charging device for a light as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of strips is disposed on one side of the charging assembly;

the strips surround three of four sides of the electrical connecting plate;

one side which is not surrounded by the strips is at another end of the connecting portion.

9. The charging device for a light as claimed in claim 1, wherein a storage room is opened on one side of the charging assembly;

an indentation is recessed on one side of the storage room and corresponds to the connecting portion of the electrical connecting plate.
