[0013] Furthermore, each signal light plug-in board is electrically connected to a plurality of signal lights in the light source collection box via cables. When the current in the circuit loop of each signal light is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold value, or greater than or equal to a second predetermined threshold value, it is determined that the circuit loop of the signal light is faulty. Otherwise, it is considered that the circuit loop of the signal light is working normally.

For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative labor. Among them:

[0016] Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the structure of the navigation signal light system in one embodiment of the present invention. [Specific implementation method]

[0017] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] The term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the words "connected", "connected", and "connected" herein that indicate electrical connection all refer to direct or indirect electrical connection.

[0019] The present invention provides an improved navigation signal light system, wherein the outdoor light assembly adopted by the navigation signal light system is a complete optical path system, has no electrical components, is not easily damaged, does not have the problem of low insulation caused by water entering the light assembly, and also does not have the problem of needing to replace the light assembly on the mast. If a problem occurs with the circuit part of the navigation signal light system, and the circuit part is located indoors, it is also very easy to be repaired and replaced.

[0020] Figure 1 The structure diagram of the navigation signal light system 10 in one embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The navigation signal light system comprises: a signal light control panel 100; a plurality of signal light plug-in panels 200a, 200b and 200c electrically connected to the signal light control panel 100 via cables 120; a light source collection box 300 and a plurality of outdoor light assemblies.

[0021] The light source collection box 300 includes a shell 310 forming an inner cavity, a plurality of signal lamps 320 located on one side of the inner cavity, and a plurality of lighting components 330 located in the inner cavity, wherein each lighting component 330 corresponds to a signal lamp 320, and the signal lamp 320 is electrically connected to the signal lamp plug-in boards 200a, 200b, and 200c via cables. Each signal lamp plug-in board 200a, 200b, and 200c is electrically connected to the plurality of signal lamps 320 in the light source collection box 300 via cables. Since the signal lamp plug-in board is adopted, the subsequent expansion design can be facilitated. For example, if the capacity is to be expanded later, only one or several signal lamp plug-in boards need to be added.

[0022] Each outdoor light assembly includes a fiber optic access head 510, a plurality of optical fibers 520, a fiber optic connector 530, and an outdoor light bulb 540 located in a light source collection box. Each fiber optic access head 510 corresponds to a lighting component 330. The first ends of the plurality of optical fibers 520 are connected to the fiber optic access head 510, the second ends of the plurality of optical fibers 520 are connected to the fiber optic connector 530, and the outdoor light bulb 540 is connected to the fiber optic connector 530. The lighting component 330 includes a lens assembly, which converges the light scattered from the signal light 320 to the corresponding fiber optic access head 510. The fiber optic connector 520 scatters the outgoing light of each optical fiber, and the light scattered from the fiber optic connector 530 is transmitted through the outdoor light bulb 540. The outdoor light bulb 540 is not an electrical light bulb, but a light-transmitting component, which is used to project the light from the fiber optic connector 530. It can be seen that the outdoor light assembly is a complete optical path system, has no electrical components, is not easily damaged, does not have the problem of low insulation caused by water entering the light group, and does not need to replace the light group on the mast.

[0023] The signal light control panel 100 can control the on and off of each signal light in the light source collection box 300. The signal light can be an LED (Light Emitting Diode).

Unlike the prior art, it is not necessary to climb up the mast to troubleshoot and replace components.

[0024] In one embodiment, the navigation signal light system further comprises a wire fixing plate 400, and the wire fixing plate 400 can allow the optical fiber 520 to pass through and fix the optical fiber to facilitate the arrangement of the optical fiber.

[0025] The signal light control panel 100 includes a plurality of current detection circuits, each of which is used to detect the current in the circuit loop of each signal light 320, and to determine whether the circuit loop of the signal light is faulty based on the current in the circuit loop of each signal light 320. When the current in the circuit loop of each signal light 320 is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold value (too low), or greater than or equal to a second predetermined threshold value (too high), it is determined that the circuit loop of the signal light 320 is faulty, otherwise, it is considered that the circuit loop of the signal light 320 is working normally. When it is determined that the circuit loop of the signal light 320 is faulty, the signal light control panel 100 sends a reminder signal that the circuit loop of the signal light 320 is faulty, so that maintenance personnel can detect and perform maintenance in time.

[0026] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a ship using an improved navigation signal light system. The ship comprises: a hull; a mast; and a navigation signal light system installed on the hull. The navigation signal light system can be Figure 1 The navigation signal light system 10 shown, wherein at least part of the outdoor light bulbs 540 are installed on the mast. As mentioned above, since the outdoor light assembly is a complete optical path system without electrical components, it is not easy to be damaged, and there is no problem of low insulation caused by water ingress to the light assembly, and there is no problem of needing to replace the light assembly on the mast. In addition, the signal light control panel 100 can realize online detection of the signal light 320, and can promptly give a reminder when a fault occurs. In addition, troubleshooting is also carried out indoors, which is convenient for maintenance.
