(17) A preferred embodiment of this application provides a breathing lamp, including a housing, a base, and a light-emitting component. The housing is connected to the base. The light-emitting component is mounted on the base. The housing is made of a flexible material, for example, silicone, or rubber. A drive mechanism and a transmission mechanism are further mounted on the base, to enable the transmission mechanism to act on the housing to induce deformation of the housing. That is, the force of the transmission mechanism is transmitted to the housing to induce deformation of the housing, and with the cooperation of the light-emitting component, a dynamic breathing effect is formed.

(18) As another preferred embodiment of this application, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, this application provides a breathing lamp, including a housing 1, a base 2, and a light-emitting component 3. The housing 1 is connected to the base 2, and the light-emitting component 3 is mounted on the base 2. The housing 1 is made of a flexible material, for example, silicone, or rubber. A drive mechanism 4 and a transmission mechanism 5 are further mounted on the base 2. In order to make it more convenient for the transmission mechanism 5 to act on the housing, a pull rod 6 is connected between the transmission mechanism 5 and the housing 1. The drive mechanism 4 drives the pull rod 6 through the transmission mechanism 5 to induce deformation of the housing 1. For example, the deformation may be displacement of the housing 1 in a vertical direction.

(19) By adopting the technical solution above, the pull rod 6 of the device is driven by of the drive mechanism 4 to displace in the vertical direction, so that the housing 1 also rises and falls back and forth, thereby inducing deformation and forming a dynamic breathing effect.

(20) Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the drive mechanism 4 is a motor. Alternatively, the drive mechanism 4 may be another structure that produces rotational motion, for example, a rotary cylinder. The transmission mechanism 5 includes a first pulley 51, a second pulley 52, and a belt 53. The first pulley 51 is connected to an output shaft of the motor. The belt 53 is wrapped around the first pulley 51 and the second pulley 52.

(21) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 8, a first retaining member 11 is provided on the housing 1. A second retaining member 521 is provided at a position of the second pulley 52 that deviates from an axis. Both ends of the pull rod 6 are respectively connected to the first retaining member 11 and the second retaining member 521.

(22) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, a lampshade 7 is further mounted on the base 2. A first opening 71 is provided in the lampshade 7. The pull rod 6 is connected to the housing 1 after passing through the first opening 71.

(23) Specifically, the lampshade 7 is made of transparent frosted material or a translucent frosted material. In this way, light generated by the light-emitting component 3 is softer, and light emitted by the light-emitting component 3 through the lampshade 7 does not hurt eyes and has more uniform brightness.

(24) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, a plurality of inverted L-shaped hooks 21 are respectively provided on both sides of the base 2, a plurality of first bayonet holes 72 are provided in the lampshade 7, and each of the inverted L-shaped hooks 21 is clamped to one of the first bayonet holes 72.

(25) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, an annular groove 12 is provided at a bottom of the housing 1, and a plurality of second bayonet holes 121 are provided in a side wall of the annular groove 12. The base 2 is inserted in the annular groove 12 after being assembled with the lampshade 7, and a hook portion 211 of the inverted L-shaped hook 21 is inserted in one of the second bayonet holes 121 after passing through the first bayonet hole 72. In this way, the device is convenient to mount, and only the inverted L-shaped hooks 21 need to be provided to connect the base 2 to both the lampshade 7 and the housing 1. Further, in the foregoing assembly manner, the base 2 may be mounted horizontally, and when using a product protected by the technical solution, horizontal placement can be achieved through the base 2.

(26) It should be noted that, in order to accommodate the base 2, the bottom of the housing 1 is open, that is, the bottom of the housing includes a second opening 16.

(27) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the housing 1 includes a first region portion 14 connected to the base 2 and a second region portion 15 not connected to the base 2, and a thickness of the second region portion is less than or equal to a thickness of the first region portion. That is, a portion of the housing 1 of the device that is close to the base 2 is thicker, so that the housing 1 is more firmly mounted on the base 2.

(28) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a ventilation hole 13 is provided in the housing 1. The purpose of the ventilation hole 13 is to achieve air pressure balance inside and outside the housing 1. Under the action of the vertical movement of the pull rod 6, the connection between the housing 1 made of a flexible material and the pull rod 6 rises and falls back and forth to form a dynamic breathing effect. Without the ventilation hole 13, when the housing 1 of the device rises and falls, under the action of internal pressure, the base 2 tends to fall off, or air fails to enter the housing 1, resulting in pressure imbalance, causing the problem that the housing 1 fails to automatically restore its shape by elasticity.

(29) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the pull rod 6 is a spring pull rod. Preferably, a snap ring 61 is provided respectively at both ends of the spring pull rod, and each snap ring 61 is connected to the first retaining member 11 and the second retaining member 521. The advantage of choosing the spring pull rod as the pull rod of this application is that the spring pull rod is a non-rigid component. When subjected to external pressure, the spring bends and can dissipate the external force. Therefore, in some cases, damage to the housing and other internal structures of this application can be effectively prevented.

(30) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of support columns 22 are further provided on the base 2, and the light-emitting component 3 is mounted on the support columns 22. Further, in order to prevent the device from sliding when in use, an anti-skid pad 23 is further provided on a bottom surface of the base 2 of this application, and a plurality of anti-skid pads 23 are provided, and are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the base 2.

(31) Specifically, the light-emitting component 3 is an LED light board, and two LED light boards are provided, and are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 2, thereby achieving the purpose of evenly dispersing a light source and reducing a mounting area of the light boards.

(32) Further, as shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 10, a power supply 8, a power switch 81, and a sensor 9 are further provided on the base 2. When the power switch 8 is turned off, if the sensor 9 senses that the pull rod is in a non-preset position, the sensor 9 emits an electrical signal to enable the drive mechanism 4 to drive the pull rod 6 to a preset position through the transmission mechanism 5.

(33) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the sensor 9 is a through-beam photoelectric switch. A positioning member 10 is further provided on the first pulley 51 or the second pulley 52. Preferably, the positioning member 10 is mounted at the second pulley 52. When the power switch 81 is turned off, if the electrical signal emitted by the through-beam photoelectric switch fails to act on the positioning member 10, the drive mechanism 5 operates and drives the first pulley 51 and/or the second pulley 52 to rotate to change a position of the positioning member 10 until the electrical signal emitted by the through-beam photoelectric switch successfully acts on the positioning member 10. The purpose of the arrangement is that when the device does not operate, the shape of the housing 1 is restored, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appeal and decorative value of the breathing lamp in its static state. The breathing lamp protected based on this application may also be used as a household decorative component. Therefore, the aesthetic appeal and decorative value are also advantages of the device.

(34) It should be noted that the through-beam photoelectric switch is formed by a transmitter and a receiver, and is directly obtained from existing technologies. The operating principle of the through-beam photoelectric switch is that light emitted by the transmitter directly enters the receiver. When a detected object passes between the transmitter and the receiver and blocks the light, the photoelectric switch generates a switch signal. The electrical signal emitted by the through-beam photoelectric switch successfully acts on the positioning member stated in this application specifically means that the positioning member 10 is located between the transmitter and the receiver of the through-beam photoelectric switch and can block light passing therebetween. In this case, the through-beam photoelectric switch is triggered to generate a related electrical signal and transfer the electrical signal to the drive mechanism.

(35) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, a speaker 100 is further mounted on the base 2, and the power supply 8 is respectively electrically connected to the light-emitting component 3, the speaker 100, and the sensor 9. Different music can be played through the speaker 100 to enhance the fun.

(36) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the power supply 8 is a cylindrical battery, and is mounted obliquely on the base 2. The cylindrical battery and a side of the base form a particular angle in a horizontal direction, which is called obliquely. This can save internal space and make the product structure more compact and smaller.

(37) Specifically, the housing 1 and the first retaining member 11 are integrally formed, thereby improving the convenience of assembly.

(38) The operating principle of the present invention is as follows: An example in which the housing 1 is designed in the shape of a panda is used. The housing is made of a silicone material, and the first retaining member 11 is provided inside the housing 1, specifically, may be provided at the belly of the panda, thereby enhancing the fun. When the power switch 81 is turned on, the device is started. The motor 4 drives the first pulley 51 to rotate. The first pulley 51 transmits the rotational power to the second pulley 52 through the belt 53. The second retaining member 521 is provided at an eccentric position (which may be a wheel edge position) of the second pulley 52. As the second pulley 52 rotates, the pull rod 6 at least displaces in the vertical direction. When the pull rod 6 moves downward, the interior of the housing 1 also moves downward due to a downward pulling force, that is, downward deformation is generated. When the pull rod 6 moves upward, the interior of the housing 1 also moves upward due to an upward force or its own elasticity, that is, upward deformation is generated. In this way, the housing 1 can rise and fall back and forth, and with the cooperation of LED light of the light-emitting component 3, the device can form a dynamic breathing light effect.

(39) When the device is not in use, the power switch 81 can be turned off. In this case, the through-beam photoelectric switch performs detection. If the electrical signal emitted by the through-beam photoelectric switch fails to act on the positioning member 10, the motor 4 continues to operate and drives the second pulley 52 to rotate to change the position of the positioning member 10 until the electrical signal emitted by the through-beam photoelectric switch successfully acts on the positioning member 10, so that the pull rod 6 and the housing 1 can be automatically reset.
