Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor lighting technology, and in particular to an outdoor linear light. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor linear lights, due to the characteristics of their application environment, have extremely high requirements for waterproof and hydrophobic performance. See the "Waterproof Housing Structure for an LED Linear Light" disclosed in CN211260427U, which achieves an IP67 waterproof rating through structural designs such as adhesive strips. However, while this structure can withstand short-term immersion or spraying, it fails to effectively solve the problem of water accumulation on the surface of the light fixture's cover. Water accumulating on the cover still poses a risk of gradually seeping into the interior of the housing under prolonged exposure. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an outdoor linear light to prevent water from accumulating on the top surface of the housing.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the first technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an outdoor linear light, including a housing 1; one side of the housing 1 is a mounting surface 11, and the top surface of the housing 1 is divided into a first hydrophobic surface 12 and a second hydrophobic surface 13. The first hydrophobic surface 12 is connected to the mounting surface 11, the included angle between the first hydrophobic surface 12 and the mounting surface 11 is less than 90°, and the included angle between the second hydrophobic surface 13 and the first hydrophobic surface 12 is less than 180°.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the outer shell can be connected to the wall through the mounting surface. Then, by connecting the top surface of the outer shell to the mounting surface at an acute angle (i.e., the first hydrophobic surface and the wall form an obtuse angle), and the second hydrophobic surface that is connected to it and slopes outward, a double-sloping water guiding system from top to bottom is formed. This structure can actively guide the water flowing on the top surface: firstly, it flows quickly along the steep first hydrophobic surface away from the wall, and then it is further guided outward from the outer shell along the second hydrophobic surface. This effectively avoids the retention and accumulation of rainwater on the top surface of the outer shell (especially in key areas near the wall), reduces the risk of water ingress into the outer shell due to long-term water penetration from the top surface, and thus improves the long-term waterproof reliability of the outdoor linear light under complex weather conditions.

[0017] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses an outdoor linear light, including a housing 1; one side of the housing 1 is a mounting surface 11, and the top surface of the housing 1 is divided into a first hydrophobic surface 12 and a second hydrophobic surface 13. The first hydrophobic surface 12 is connected to the mounting surface 11, the included angle between the first hydrophobic surface 12 and the mounting surface 11 is less than 90°, and the included angle between the second hydrophobic surface 13 and the first hydrophobic surface 12 is less than 180°.

[0019] Working Principle: The outer casing 1 connects to the wall via the mounting surface 11. A first hydrophobic surface 12 (forming an obtuse angle between the first hydrophobic surface 12 and the wall) connects to the top surface of the outer casing 1 at an acute angle to the mounting surface 11, and a second hydrophobic surface 13 connects to it and slopes outwards, forming a double-sloping water-guiding system from top to bottom. This structure actively guides water flowing onto the top surface: first, it flows rapidly along the steep first hydrophobic surface 12 away from the wall, and then further outwards along the second hydrophobic surface 13, away from the outer casing 1. This effectively prevents rainwater from stagnating and accumulating on the top surface of the outer casing 1 (especially in critical areas near the wall), reducing the risk of water ingress into the outer casing 1 due to prolonged water penetration from the top surface, thereby improving the long-term waterproof reliability of the outdoor linear light under complex weather conditions.

[0020] It is worth noting that the included angle between the first hydrophobic surface 12 and the mounting surface 11 is C, where 80° ≤ C < 90°, and the included angle between the second hydrophobic surface 13 and the first hydrophobic surface 12 is D, where 120° ≤ D < 180°. Wherein, C includes, but is not limited to, 80°, 81°, 82°, 83°, 84°, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, and 89°; and D includes, but is not limited to, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, 150°, 155°, 160°, 165°, 170°, and 175°.

[0021] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer shell 1 has a first drainage surface 14 disposed opposite to the first hydrophobic surface 12. The angle between the first drainage surface 14 and the mounting surface 11 is greater than 90°. A first drain outlet 141 is provided at the end of the first drainage surface 14 away from the mounting surface 11. When water enters the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, the water will flow through the first drainage surface 14 toward the first drain outlet 141 under the action of gravity, and finally be discharged from the first drain outlet 141, thus preventing water accumulation in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1.

[0022] It is worth noting that the included angle between the first drainage surface 14 and the mounting surface 11 is A, where 90° < A ≤ 110°. A includes, but is not limited to, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, 96°, 97°, 98°, 99°, 100°, 101°, 102°, 103°, 104°, 105°, 106°, 107°, 108°, 109°, and 110°. By limiting the included angle between the first drainage surface 14 and the mounting surface 11, it is ensured that the water on the first drainage surface 14 can flow towards the first drain outlet 141.

[0023] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the outer shell 1 has a second drainage surface 15 disposed opposite to the second hydrophobic surface 13. The angle between the second drainage surface 15 and the first drainage surface 14 is less than 180°. A second drain outlet 151 is provided at the end of the second drainage surface 15 away from the first drainage surface 14. After water enters the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, some of the water will flow towards the second drain outlet 151 under the action of gravity, and finally be discharged from the second drain outlet 151, thus preventing water accumulation in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1.

[0024] It is worth noting that the included angle between the second drainage surface 15 and the first drainage surface 14 is B, where 120° ≤ B < 180°. B includes, but is not limited to, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, 150°, 155°, 160°, 165°, 170°, and 175°.

[0025] In some implementations, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, end caps 2 are provided at both ends of the outer casing 1 along its length. A screw groove 16 is provided in the inner cavity of the outer casing 1, and the end caps 2 are provided with mounting holes 21 corresponding to the screw grooves 16. The end caps 2 are threadedly connected to the screw grooves 16 through the mounting holes 21, thereby assembling the end caps 2 onto the outer casing 1.

[0026] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the end cap 2 is provided with a locking block 22 on one end face facing the outer shell 1, which is arranged along the outline of the end cap assembly opening of the outer shell 1. The end cap 2 is engaged with the outer shell 1 by the locking block 22, thereby improving the assembly reliability of the end cap 2 on the outer shell 1.

[0027] In one embodiment, a sealing ring (not shown in the figure) is provided between the locking block 22 and the outer shell 1. By compressing and deforming the sealing ring, not only can the end cap 2 be fixed to the outer shell 1, but a seal can also be achieved. Of course, the sealing ring can also be replaced by applying sealant to the outer wall of the locking block 22 to achieve sealing and fixation between the end cap 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0028] In another embodiment, the area enclosed by the outer wall of the locking block 22 is larger than the area of ​​the end cap assembly opening of the outer shell 1. By compressing and deforming the end cap assembly opening of the outer shell 1, the end cap 2 can be effectively fixed to the outer shell 1. Of course, after the end cap 2 is connected to the outer shell 1, sealant can be applied to the gap between the end cap 2 and the outer shell 1 to achieve a sealing effect.

[0029] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the lamp body module 3 is mounted in the inner cavity of the housing 1 via a connector 4. The connector 4 includes a first mounting block 41, a second mounting block 42, and a magnet 43; the first mounting block 41 is mounted on the housing 1, the second mounting block 42 is mounted on the lamp body module 3, and the magnet 43 is mounted on the first mounting block 41, and the magnet 43 is magnetically connected to the second mounting block 42. The assembly of the lamp body module 3 onto the housing 1 is achieved using magnetism, so that if the lamp body module 3 is damaged, it is not necessary to remove the outdoor linear light from the wall; only the lamp body module 3 needs to be replaced, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0030] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the connector 4 also includes a screw 44, and the magnetic block 43 is fixed to the first mounting block 41 by the screw 44. Preferably, the screw 44 is a countersunk screw, and the magnetic block 43 is provided with a countersunk hole adapted to the countersunk screw, so that the screw 44 can be embedded in the magnetic block 43 to ensure that the magnetic surface of the magnetic block 43 is in contact with the second mounting block 42.

[0031] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the connector 4 also includes a fall arrestor rope 45, one end of which is connected to the first mounting block 41, and the other end of which is connected to the second mounting block 42. The fall arrestor rope 45 is used to prevent the housing 1 from accidentally falling off during the assembly and disassembly of the lamp body module 3.

[0032] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 is composed of a mounting surface 11, a first hydrophobic surface 12, a second hydrophobic surface 13, a first drainage surface 14, and a second drainage surface 15, forming an L-shaped housing 1, so that the lamp module 3 can be assembled in the housing 1 at an angle, thereby enabling the lamp module 3 to emit light at an angle.

[0033] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, elastic clamping arms 17 are provided at the end of the second hydrophobic surface 13 away from the first hydrophobic surface 12 and at the end of the second drainage surface 15 away from the first drainage surface 14. When no external force is applied, the distance between the two elastic clamping arms 17 is less than the width of the light-emitting end of the lamp module 3. During the assembly of the lamp module 3 into the housing 1, because the width of the light-emitting end of the lamp module 3 is greater than the distance between the two elastic clamping arms 17, the two elastic clamping arms 17 are forced to undergo elastic deformation, thereby using the elastic force generated by the elastic clamping arms 17 to fix the lamp module 3 in the inner cavity of the housing 1.

[0034] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
