Abstract

A lamp for a laptop includes a lamp arm, a base, and a lamp body. The lamp arm has a connecting element and a first electrical contact located at the connecting element. The base has a first rotating shaft portion fixedly connected to the connecting element. The lamp body includes a casing, a circuit board, a second electrical contact, and a flexible circuit board. The casing has a second rotating shaft portion adapted to rotate relative to the first rotating shaft portion. The circuit board is disposed in the casing. The second electrical contact passing through the first rotating shaft portion is configured to contact the first electrical contact. The flexible circuit board is electrically connected between the circuit board and the second electrical contact. When the lamp body is rotated, the relative position of the second electrical contact and the first electrical contact is fixed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lamp for a laptop, comprising:
a lamp arm, having a connecting element and a first electrical contact, wherein the first electrical contact is located at the connecting element;
a base, having a first rotating shaft portion, and the first rotating shaft portion being fixedly connected to the connecting element; and
a lamp body, comprising a casing, a circuit board, a second electrical contact, and a flexible circuit board, the casing having a second rotating shaft portion, the second rotating shaft portion overlapping with the first rotating shaft portion and being adapted to rotate relative to the first rotating shaft portion, the circuit board being disposed in the casing relatively away from the first rotating shaft portion, the second electrical contact passing through the first rotating shaft portion and being configured to contact the first electrical contact, and the flexible circuit board being electrically connected between the circuit board and the second electrical contact,
wherein when the lamp body is rotated relative to the base by the first rotating shaft portion and the second rotating shaft portion, a relative position of the second electrical contact and the first electrical contact is fixed.

2. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 1 , wherein the lamp body further comprises a first magnetic element, which is disposed on the lamp body relatively close to the first rotating shaft portion, the base is provided with a second magnetic element, and the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element attract each other.

3. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting element has an arched portion, the arched portion has an opening and an accommodation groove, the first electrical contact is disposed in the opening, and the second magnetic element is disposed in the accommodation groove.

4. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 3 , wherein the base has a bottom, the first rotating shaft portion protrudes from the bottom, the first rotating shaft portion has an empty groove, and the first magnetic element is disposed corresponding to the empty groove.

5. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 4 , further comprising a buffer element, disposed between the first magnetic element and the first rotating shaft portion.

6. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible circuit board is disposed and bent between the circuit board and the first rotating shaft portion.

7. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible circuit board is welded to the second electrical contact.

8. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 1 , further comprising a battery arm, wherein the lamp arm is located between the lamp body and the battery arm, the battery arm is adapted to accommodate a battery, and the battery is electrically connected to the first electrical contact.

9. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrical contact is a pogo pin.

10. The lamp for the laptop according to claim 1 , wherein when the lamp body rotates relative to the base, the flexible circuit board deforms to maintain the electrical connection between the second electrical contact and the first electrical contact.
