    Abstract: A safety lamp, which comprises a lamp body and two electric connecting portions. The lamp body has a light emitting module. The two electric connecting portions are respectively disposed on two sides of the lamp body, and each of the electric connecting portions further comprises a first electric connecting terminal, a pressing switch unit, an elastic conductive unit and a second electric connecting terminal. Each of the pressing switch units must sustain a pressing force to urge against the corresponding elastic conductive unit to deform and to electrically connect the corresponding first electric connecting terminal to the corresponding second electric connecting terminal through the elastic conductive unit. Alternatively, when the pressing switch unit is released from the pressing force, the deformed elastic conductive unit reforms back to an opposite direction of the pressing force to form an open circuit.

  • Publication number: 20120176714
    Abstract: An electric shock protection device is provided, including a voltage input unit, a rectifier unit, a determine unit, an output control unit and a switch unit. The voltage input unit receives an AC voltage, and the rectifier unit rectifies the AC voltage to time-varying DC voltage. The determining unit determines whether the time-varying DC voltage is less than or greater than the preset voltage and selectively chooses an output control signal to determine whether there is an external receptor connected in series with the input power. The output control unit is driven by the control signal to make the switch unit control whether the time-varying DC voltage is provided to the electrical load, and to sustain or interrupt the conductive circuit loop. Accordingly, the receptor can be avoided from being subjected to an electric shock from high AC voltage.
