Abstract

Invention details A name that reflects an invention. Air-cushioned lamp post Branches of science related to invention. Engineering related to the structure of lampposts and air compression systems. The nature and purpose of the invention. Air-powered shock absorber streetlights are designed for easy folding and tilting. They consist of an upper section that folds or tilts and a lower section connected to a plate for securing to the foundation structure. Folding and tilting the pole relies on increasing or decreasing internal pressure in a shock absorber cylinder to raise or lower the rod. The air-powered shock absorber is securely attached to the pole structure and provides protection against the pole falling, collapsing, or separating the upper and lower sections in the event of unforeseen or accidental incidents. The purpose of inventing the pneumatic shock-absorbing street light pole system is to facilitate easy repair or maintenance of equipment at the top of the pole, reducing traffic congestion caused by lane blocking and minimizing accidents for road users due to lane blocking or accidents from working at heights during repairs or maintenance. For safety, the pneumatic shock-absorbing street light pole system aims to minimize the number of operators required for maintenance. It offers comprehensive safety features by designing the upper pole with a larger diameter than the lower pole to securely lock the two sections together. Furthermore, an additional safety locking mechanism prevents the pole from moving, thus preventing it from falling, collapsing, or separating the upper and lower sections in the event of unforeseen or accidental incidents. Background in the relevant art or science. Currently available utility poles are typically round with a tapered end, or other similar shape, and are constructed as a single, continuous piece from base to tip. They are connected to a plate for anchoring to the foundation structure. Repairing or maintaining equipment at the top of the pole, which is higher than the height of a worker, requires tools or machinery (scaffolding, cherry pickers, cranes), resulting in high repair and maintenance costs. Furthermore, it causes traffic congestion due to lane closures and may lead to accidents for road users or those involved in working at heights. The inventor therefore designed and developed a foldable lamp post consisting of an upper and lower pole section securely attached. An air shock absorber was installed in the pole to easily tilt it up and down for repair or maintenance of equipment located at the top of the pole. Brief description of the painting.

Full disclosure of the invention. The air-powered shock absorber lamppost system is an invention designed to solve the difficult maintenance and upkeep problems associated with equipment located at the top of lampposts, as well as the indirect problems associated with maintenance. It can be easily folded or tilted up and down by increasing or decreasing the air pressure inside the shock absorber cylinder. It consists of three main parts: the upper lamppost, the lower lamppost, and the air shock absorber. Figure 1 and Figure 3 show an overview of the air-assisted suspension system of the lamp post structure while upright and while folded. Figure 2 and Figure 4 show specific details of the air-assisted suspension system of the lamp post structure while upright and while folded. The lamp post structure is made of hot-dip galvanized steel and consists of the top pole – round or square section 1(1) or other similar shape. At the end of this section of the lamp post, a device with a clamp that can be fitted, covered or locked securely to the end of the lamp post can be installed. The top pole – round or square section 2(2) or other similar shape is connected between the top pole – round or square section 1(1) and the top pole – round or square section 2(2) by means of fastening, welding, securing or casting them together. There is a connection or fastening between the top pole and the bottom pole by a connecting section between the top pole and the bottom pole (3) which is one piece with the top pole – round or square section 2(2) by means of fastening, welding,The lower pole (4) is a main component for securing the two main pole sections together, acting as a pivot point for folding the pole and preventing the two pole sections from separating. There is also a connection between the upper pole and the air shock absorber (10) which is secured, welded, bolted, or cast to the upper pole, acting as a locking point for the air shock absorber to remain attached to the upper pole for maintenance and servicing. The lower pole (5) has a service access hole (20) for installing the pole leveling kit (21) and other additional equipment. Inside the pole is a service access cover (6) with a pole fall protection section (22) to cover the pole leveling kit (21) and other equipment installed inside the lower pole. The pole leveling kit (21) acts as a locking or unlocking part between the upper and lower pole sections, providing a first-level safety protection. In addition, the pole fall protection section (22) acts as a securing part,The pole leveling assembly (21) is held in place or secured to prevent movement, thus ensuring the upper and lower pole sections are securely fastened together as a second layer of safety protection. There is a locking point for the maintenance cover (7) which has a special shape or form that prevents the normal tools from being used to lock or unlock the maintenance cover (6). The locking point for the maintenance cover (7) is used to lock the maintenance cover (6) and the lower pole section (5) together. The bottom of the lower pole section (5) is secured, braced, or fixed to the pole plate (8) which has holes drilled in it. The light (9) is used to secure the lamp post to the foundation and has a connection between the lower part of the lamp post and the air shock (11) which is completely attached, welded, fixed or cast to the lower part of the lamp post. It serves as a locking point for the air shock to be attached to the lower part of the lamp post for maintenance and servicing. The air shock may be attached on the same side as the maintenance cover (6) or on either side of the lamp post. It consists of sub-components including the shock shaft (12) which extends and retracts to tilt the lamp post, the shock cylinder (13) which stores or releases air to increase or decrease the pressure to extend and retract the shock shaft (12),The upper part of the air shock absorber that is connected to the upper part of the lamp post (14) and the lower part of the air shock absorber that is connected to the lower part of the lamp post (15) have a connecting rod between the air shock absorber and the upper part of the lamp post (16), and a connecting rod between the air shock absorber and the lower part of the lamp post (18) to hold the air shock absorber and the lamp post together. There are also locking pins to prevent the connecting rod between the air shock absorber and the upper part of the lamp post (17) and locking pins to prevent the connecting rod between the air shock absorber and the lower part of the lamp post (19) from loosening. Figures 5 and 6 show details of the connection point between the lamp post and the air compressor. The air compressor may be attached on the same side as the maintenance cover (6) or on either side of the lamp post. The connection point can be divided into two parts: the upper part, which consists of the connection point between the upper lamp post and the air compressor (10), the upper part of the air compressor connected to the upper lamp post (14), the connecting rod between the air compressor and the upper lamp post (16), and the locking pin between the air compressor and the upper lamp post (17) connected to the upper lamp post – round or square part 2 (2) and the connection point between the upper lamp post and the lower lamp post (3); and the lower part, which consists of the connection point between the lower lamp post and the air compressor (11), the lower part of the air compressor connected to the lower lamp post (15), the connecting rod between the air compressor and the lower lamp post (18), and the locking pin between the air compressor and the lower lamp post (19) connected to the lower lamp post (5), and the lamp post plate (8). Figure 7 shows an overview of the air shock absorber, which may be mounted on the same side as the maintenance cover (6) or on either side of the lamp post and consists of the shock absorber shaft (12) which extends and retracts to tilt the lamp post, the shock absorber cylinder (13) which stores or releases air to increase or decrease the pressure to extend and retract the shock absorber shaft (12), the upper part of the air shock absorber which is connected to the upper part of the lamp post (14), and the lower part of the air shock absorber which is connected to the lower part of the lamp post (15). Figure 8 shows an overview of the maintenance bay (20), which has an internal section with a pole leveling unit (21) installed. This unit serves as a locking or unlocking mechanism between the upper and lower pole sections, providing a first-level safety protection. Additional equipment can also be installed inside the maintenance bay (20). Figure 9 shows an overview of the maintenance cover (6), which includes a pole fall protection component that acts as a fastener, restraining or securing the pole leveling unit (21) to prevent movement, thus ensuring that the upper and lower parts of the pole are securely attached, providing a second layer of safety protection. The best way to invent This is in accordance with the details stated in the section on full disclosure of the invention.
