1. Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a solar lamp, and particularly to a solar lamp for interacting with electronic products.

2. Description of Related Art

[0002] In general, the conventional solar lamp can transform the light energy into the electric energy for storing to its reserve power unit via its solar panel; however, the electric energy is just supplied to the solar lamp itself for illumination. Furthermore, the reserve power unit of the solar lamp can not supply the electric energy to the electronic product as power of the electric product is exhausted. In addition, use of the solar lamp must be waited for charging as the shortage of power of the reserve power unit. It is inconvenient that the solar lamp would not be used immediately as the user needs to use in emergent.

[0003] Therefore, the invention provides a solar lamp to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] References are made to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A, a solar lamp 1 includes a solar power supply apparatus 11, a luminescence module 12, and a transmission module 13.The solar power supply apparatus 11 includes a control module 111, a power switch 112, a vibration sensing switch 113, and a solar battery 114.

[0016] The solar battery 114 includes a solar panel 1141 and a reserve power unit 1142. The solar panel 1141 could automatically transform the light energy into the electric energy as the solar panel 1141 is in a place of light energy source, and then the electric energy could be stored in the reserve power unit 1142. The vibration sensing switch 113 can output a sensing signal to the control module 111 by sensing a status, such as, vibration status or static status, of the solar lamp 1. The control module 111 connects to the reserve power unit 1142 and the vibration sensing switch 113 for controlling the output of the electric energy storing in the reserve power unit 1142 by the sensing signal from the vibration sensing switch 113. The power switch 112 connecting the control module 111 provides a switch signal to the control module 111. The switch signal controls that the status of the solar lamp 1 is on or off. The control module 111 would start the vibration sensing switch 113 or close the vibration sensing switch 113 according to the switch signal. The luminescence module 12 connects the reserve power unit 1142. The control module 111 controls and determines if the reserve power unit 1142 outputs the electric energy to the luminescence module 12.

[0017] The solar lamp 1 in a static status (unused) as the power switch 112 operates, so the vibration sensing switch 113 outputs the sensing signal which is a short-circuit signal. The control module 111 controls that the reserve power unit 1142 stops to output the electric energy to the luminescence module 12 by the sensing signal, so the luminescence module 12 does not shine. Additionally, the solar lamp 1 in a vibration status (used) as the power switch 112 operates, so the vibration sensing switch 113 outputs the sensing signal which is a conduction-circuit signal. The control module 111 controls that the reserve power unit 1142 outputs electric energy to the luminescence module 12 by the sensing signal, so the luminescence module 12 shines.

[0018] The vibration sensing switch 113 automatically senses the status of the solar lamp 1 at set intervals, and outputs the sensing signal to the control module 111. Therefore, the control module 111 would control the reserve power unit 1142 at set intervals for continuously outputting the electric energy or stopping to output the electric energy to the luminescence module 12. For example, the vibration sensing module 113 transmits the sensing signal into the control module 111 as the vibration status of the solar lamp 1 was sensed, and therefore the control module 111 would control the reserve power unit 1142 continuously outputting the electric energy to the luminescence module 12 until the next preset time. If the vibration status of the solar lamp 1 is sensed on the next preset time, the reserve power unit 1142 will continuously output electric energy to the luminescence module 12. If the static status of the solar lamp 1 is sensed on the next preset time, the reserve power unit 1142 will stop to output electric energy to the luminescence module 12. Therefore, the vibration sensing switch 113 would sense the status of the solar lamp 1 at set intervals and output the sensing signal to the control module 111, and the control module 111 would control the reserve power unit 1142 to output electric energy to the luminescence module 12 or not.

[0019] The solar lamp 1 further includes the transmission module 13, and the transmission module 13 has a port 131 and a transmission line 132.

The transmission module 13 provides the second connector 1322 electrically connecting an electronic product 2. Therefore, the port 131 would electrically connect the electronic product 2 indirectly. Furthermore, the first connector1321 and the second connector 1322 can be Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector, IEEE 1394 connector, and so on.

[0020] Inside of the electronic product 2 includes a rechargeable battery 21 connecting the transmission module 13. Therefore, there are two electric energy transmission ways, which electric energy transmits between the solar lamp 1 and the electronic product 2 as follows. (1) The reserve power unit 1142 of the solar lamp 1 supplies electric energy. The solar panel 1141 transforms light energy into electric energy and stores electric energy into the reserve power unit 1142 as receiving light energy. The reserve power unit 1142 would supply electric energy to the rechargeable battery 21 of the electronic product 2 by transmission module 13. (2) The reserve power unit 1142 of the solar lamp 1 is supplied with electric energy. If the solar lamp 1 needs to shine as electric energy of the reserve power unit 1142 is efficiency, the rechargeable battery 21 of the electronic product 2 would output electric energy into the reserve power unit 1142 by transmission line 132. Therefore, the solar lamp 1 will shine.

Besides, the solar lamp 1 connects the electronic product 2 which is a walkman in the present embodiment. Inside of the electronic product 2 includes the rechargeable battery 21.The reserve power unit 1142 of the solar lamp 1 would transmit electric energy into the rechargeable battery 21 of the electronic product 2 as electric energy of the rechargeable battery 21 is efficiency. Therefore, user can use the walkman for listening to music.

[0025] Please refer to FIG.5 illustrating a sixth embodiment of the solar lamp 1. The solar lamp 1 could be applied with the helmet 4. The solar lamp 1 can be a headlamp 121, and the solar panel 1141 is located on the top surface of the headlamp 121. The headlamp 121 could connect two of the transmission lines 132, and two of the transmission lines 132 separately connect a first auxiliary lamp 22 and a second auxiliary lamp 23. The first auxiliary lamp 22 and the second auxiliary lamp 23 could have battery inside, or could use electric energy supplying from the solar lamp 1 to shine. Therefore, one solar lamp 1 can connect several auxiliary lamps.
