[0002] Road lighting lamps must have the technical characteristics of wide angle, high brightness and large area illumination range. The existing traditional LED lighting lamps usually adopt bat-wing asymmetric light distribution scheme, which is designed in accordance with the national industry standard "Urban Road Lighting Design Standard CJJ455-2015". However, while this light distribution scheme has large angle, high brightness and wide area illumination, the glare value is also increasing simultaneously. In fact, in the application process, because LED is a point-like light source, the luminous flux is concentrated to one light point, so the excessive pursuit of road landscape lighting effect, uncontrolled increase in brightness without effective control - light propagation mode, causes the light intensity within the visible angle range to be too high. For drivers on the road, the glare value is very serious, especially for long-term drivers. If the glare value is too high, it is very easy to have temporary visual blackening phenomenon, which is very easy to cause traffic accidents. Summary of the invention

[0053] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A method for controlling street lighting is applied to a street lighting system, wherein the street lighting system includes a plurality of street lights arranged at intervals on one side or both sides of a road and a detection mechanism arranged on the street lights. The method includes the following steps:

[0054] S1. Determine whether there is an observer in the detection area of ​​the detection agency;

[0055] S2, if yes, then obtain the current position information of the observer in real time, determine the first current position information obtained as the initial position information, the current position information at least includes coordinates and an angle, the angle being the angle between the line connecting the detection mechanism and the observer and the road surface;

[0056] S3, calculating the movement information of the observer according to the current position information and the initial position information of the observer, where the movement information at least includes a vector displacement and an angle difference;

[0057] S4. Control the brightness and illumination angle of the lighting module of the street lamp according to the calculated movement information.

[0058] In the above step S1, the detection mechanism scans within a conical area with its location as the top, and the detection area of ​​the detection mechanism is larger than the illumination area of ​​the street lamp. The detection mechanism determines whether an observer has entered its detection area by whether it can receive reflected waves. Specifically, when an observer enters the detection area of ​​the detection mechanism, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the detection mechanism can be reflected by the observer, and the detection mechanism receives reflected waves, which indicates that there is an observer in its detection area.

[0059] In the above step S2, when the detection mechanism determines that there is an observer in its detection range, the detection mechanism locates the observer in real time to obtain the coordinates and angle of the observer's current position so as to subsequently identify the observer's moving position.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The schematic diagram of establishing a coordinate system in the control method of street lighting of the present invention. Further, in step S2, the detection mechanism includes at least a distance detection component 4, and the step of obtaining the current position information of the observer in real time includes:

[0061] S21, draw a first perpendicular line from the position of the distance detection component 4 to the road surface, and establish a coordinate system with the intersection of the first perpendicular line and the road surface as the origin, wherein the direction of the y-axis is the same as the direction of the road 7;

[0062] S22, draw a parallel line from the position of the observer to the y-axis of the coordinate system, draw a second perpendicular line from the position of the distance detection component to the parallel line, and calculate a first distance L1 between the intersection of the second perpendicular line and the parallel line and the distance detection component;

[0063] S23, obtaining in real time through the distance detection component 4 a second distance L2 between the current position of the observer and the distance detection component;

[0064] S24, according to the formula and formula Calculate the values ​​of x and y, where x is the distance between the current position of the observer and the y-axis of the coordinate system, H is the height distance between the distance detection component and the road surface, and y is the distance between the current position of the observer and the x-axis of the coordinate system;

[0065] S25, determining the quadrant of the current position of the observer based on a preset determination rule, and determining the positive and negative values ​​of x and y according to the quadrant to obtain the coordinates (x, y) of the current position of the observer;

[0066] S26. Calculate the angle ∠α according to the formula ∠α=90°-arccos(H / L2), and obtain the current position information of the observer according to the coordinates (x, y) of the observer's current position.

[0067] In the above step S21, for each detection mechanism on the street lamp, a rectangular coordinate system is first established. In the present embodiment, a first perpendicular line is drawn from the position of the distance detection component to the road surface, and a rectangular coordinate system is established with the intersection O of the first perpendicular line and the road surface as the origin, wherein the first perpendicular is used as the z-axis, and the direction of the road surface of road 7 toward the position of the detection mechanism is defined as the positive direction, the direction of the y-axis is the same as the direction of road 7, and the forward direction of the lane of the positioned road 7 is the positive direction, and the direction of the x-axis is perpendicular to the direction of the lane of road 7, and the side of the lane of road 7 away from the street lamp is the positive direction.

[0068] In the above step S22, a parallel line parallel to the y-axis of the coordinate system is drawn from the position of the observer. The parallel line can be regarded as the direction of the observer's line of sight, that is, the direction in which the observer is moving. Then, a second perpendicular line is drawn from the position of the distance detection component to the parallel line. The intersection of the second perpendicular line and the parallel line is recorded as N, and the coordinates of N are extracted. The extraction method is an existing method and will not be repeated here. Then, based on the coordinates of N and the known coordinates of the distance detection component, the first distance L1 between the intersection N of the second perpendicular line and the parallel line and the distance detection component is calculated. The distance between the intersection N of the second perpendicular line and the parallel line and the coordinate origin O is the value corresponding to the x-axis in the coordinates of the observer's current position.

[0069] In the above step S23, the second distance L2 is directly acquired by a distance detection component, and the distance detection component can adopt an existing distance detection mechanism.

[0070] Furthermore, the distance detection component includes a microwave distance sensor and an infrared distance sensor arranged in parallel, and the step of obtaining the second distance L2 between the observer's current position and the distance detection component in real time through the distance detection component includes:

[0071] S231, obtaining a third distance between the observer's current position and the microwave distance sensor through the microwave distance sensor;

[0072] S232, obtaining a fourth distance between the current position of the observer and the microwave distance sensor through the infrared distance sensor;

[0073] S233, determining whether the absolute value of the difference between the first distance and the fourth distance is less than or equal to a preset error threshold;

[0074] S234. Take the average value of the third distance and the fourth distance as the second distance L2 between the observer's current position and the distance detection component.

[0075] In the above steps S231 to S233, the microwave distance sensor detects more accurately when the observer is an object, and the infrared distance sensor detects more accurately when the observer is a person. Therefore, after obtaining the sum of the third distance and the fourth distance, it is determined whether the absolute value of the difference between the first distance and the fourth distance is less than or equal to the preset error threshold, and the error threshold may be 5 cm. If so, the average value of the third distance and the fourth distance is used as the second distance L2 between the observer's current position and the distance detection component; if not, it means that the microwave distance sensor and the infrared distance sensor may be damaged, and the obtained distance is not used. Therefore, the distance detection component uses the microwave distance sensor and the infrared distance sensor to jointly emit mixed electromagnetic waves, and the second distance L2 between the observer and the distance detection component can be accurately obtained regardless of whether the observer is an object or a person.

[0076] In the above step S24, Figure 2 According to trigonometric functions, we can get the first formula The second formula ∠D0=arccos(H / L0), the third formula M=L0*sin∠D0, the fourth formula The fifth formula is obtained by combining the second formula, the third formula and the fourth formula Thus, the distance x between the observer's current position and the y-axis of the coordinate system and the distance y between the observer's current position and the x-axis of the coordinate system can be calculated.

[0077] In the above step S25, in the coordinate system, the xoy plane is divided into the first quadrant, the second quadrant, the third quadrant and the fourth quadrant. When the observer enters the scanning area of ​​the detection mechanism, he is located in the fourth quadrant. Therefore, in the coordinates of the observer's initial position, x is a positive value and y is a negative value, and the initial coordinates (x0, y0) are obtained. When the observer moves forward along road 7, it can be determined whether the difference between the y value calculated at his current position and the y0 value of the initial position is greater than the absolute value of y0. If so, it means that the observer has moved from the fourth quadrant to the first quadrant. At this time, in the coordinates of the observer's current position, x is a positive value and y is a positive value. The positive and negative values ​​of x and y in the coordinates of the observer's current position are determined according to the quadrant of the observer's current position.

[0078] In the above step S26, Figure 2 It can be seen that according to the trigonometric function ∠α=90°-arccos(H / L2), the angle ∠α between the distance detection component and the line connecting the observer and the road surface can be obtained, and according to the coordinates of the observer's current position obtained in step S25 (x, y), the position information of the observer's current position, i.e., the coordinates (x, y) and the angle ∠α, can be obtained.

[0079] In the above step S3, the angle difference in the movement information is the difference between the angle in the current position information of the observer and the angle in the initial position information of the observer. The coordinates in the initial position information of the observer are marked as initial coordinates (x0, y0), and the angle in the initial position information of the observer is recorded as initial angle ∠α0. The coordinates in the current position information of the observer obtained subsequently are recorded as (x1, y1), (x2, y2), ..., (x n ,y n ), n is the total number of current position information obtained; similarly, the middle angles of the current position information of the observer obtained subsequently are recorded as ∠α1, ∠α2, ..., ∠α n , then the vector positions of the observer's current position and initial position are (x1-x0, y1-y0), (x2-x0, y2-y0), ..., (x n -x0,y n -y0). The angle difference between the angle of the observer at the current position and the angle of the initial position is ∠α1-∠α0, ∠α2-∠α0, ..., ∠α n -∠α0.

[0080] Furthermore, the detection mechanism further includes a communication module, and after the step of calculating the movement information of the observer, the method further includes:

[0081] S3a, transmitting the movement information to the communication modules of all street lamps within its communication range through the communication module.

[0082] In the above step S3a, after the detection mechanism calculates the movement information of the observer's current location, it converts the calculated movement information of the observer into a digital signal, and shares the digital signal to the communication modules of all street lamps within the communication area of ​​its communication module. After the communication modules of other street lamps receive the shared digital signal, the digital signal received by the detection module is reconverted into auxiliary movement information, which is combined with the movement information calculated by its own detection module to control the brightness and illumination angle of the street lamp.

[0083] In the above step S4, when the observer enters the scanning area of ​​the detection mechanism and moves toward the street lamp, the brightness of the street lamp is adjusted as the observer's vector displacement changes and the angle difference changes, and the illumination angle of the street lamp is controlled so that the illumination area of ​​the street lamp is in front of the observer, so that the observer can better and more clearly identify obstacles in front, thereby avoiding excessive light intensity within the observer's visual angle range, avoiding excessive glare values, and preventing the observer from experiencing temporary visual blackening, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of traffic accidents; when the observer moves forward a distance and passes the street lamp, and moves in the direction away from the street lamp, the brightness of the street lamp will also be adjusted as the observer's vector displacement changes and the angle difference changes, and the illumination angle of the street lamp will be controlled so that the illumination area of ​​the street lamp is behind the observer, so that the observer can be better and more clearly identified by other observers, thereby greatly improving the safety level of the observer's life and property.

[0084] Furthermore, the step of controlling the brightness and illumination angle of the lighting module of the street lamp according to the calculated movement information specifically includes:

[0085] S41, based on a preset correspondence relationship between movement information and control signals, obtaining a control signal corresponding to the movement information, where the control signal includes a brightness signal and an angle signal;

[0086] S42: Control the brightness of the lighting module of the street lamp according to the brightness signal, and control the illumination angle of the street lamp according to the angle signal.

[0087] In the above steps S41 and S42, the correspondence between the movement information and the control signal is preset, each vector displacement and angle difference corresponds to a brightness signal and an angle signal, and the brightness signal can be a voltage signal or a frequency signal. When the corresponding brightness signal is obtained according to the vector displacement and angle difference, the current input to the street lamp lighting module is adjusted according to the brightness signal to achieve the brightness change control of the street lamp lighting module. The corresponding angle signal is obtained according to the vector displacement and angle difference, and then the street lamp lighting module is controlled to rotate according to the angle signal to achieve the street lamp illumination angle control.

[0088] Furthermore, before the step of determining whether there is an observer in the detection area of ​​the detection mechanism, the method further includes:

[0089] S1a, detecting whether the communication module receives mobile information;

[0090] S1b, if yes, confirming the received mobile information as auxiliary mobile information;

[0091] Before the step of controlling the brightness and illumination angle of the lighting module of the street lamp according to the calculated movement information, the method further includes:

[0092] S41a, acquiring a corresponding auxiliary brightness signal according to the auxiliary movement information;

[0093] S41b, determining whether the auxiliary brightness signal is greater than a preset brightness threshold;

[0094] S41c, if yes, obtain a corresponding angle signal according to the calculated movement information, and obtain a preset default brightness signal, control the brightness of the lighting module of the street lamp according to the default brightness signal, and control the illumination angle of the street lamp according to the angle signal;

[0095] S41d: If not, executing the step of controlling the brightness and illumination angle of the lighting module of the street lamp according to the calculated movement information.

[0096] In the above steps S1a and S1b, starting from the street lamp at one end, the street lamps are numbered in sequence, and are recorded as the first street lamp, the second street lamp and the Nth street lamp, where N is the total number of street lamps. In this embodiment, if the detection mechanism of the first street lamp detects an observer in its detection area, after calculating the movement information of the observer, the calculated movement information will be shared with the communication modules of the street lamps within its communication range through the communication module. For example, the second street lamp and the third street lamp communicate with the first street lamp, so the communication modules of the second street lamp and the third street lamp receive the movement information of the observer shared by the first street lamp, and record the received movement information as the preset auxiliary information. At the same time, the detection mechanism on the second street lamp will also detect whether there is an observer in its detection area. If not, the second street lamp is controlled to maintain the initial state; if so, steps S2 and S3 are also executed. At this time, it indicates that the observer is located between the first street lamp and the second street lamp, and can be scanned by the detection mechanism on the first street lamp and the detection mechanism on the second street lamp at the same time. Similarly, the detection mechanism on the third street lamp, like the detection mechanism on the second street lamp, will also detect whether there is an observer in its detection area.

[0097] In the above steps S41a to S41d, before executing step S41, the detection mechanism of the second street lamp first obtains the corresponding auxiliary brightness signal according to the auxiliary movement information, and determines whether the auxiliary brightness signal is greater than the preset brightness threshold, that is, whether the brightness of the first street lamp irradiating the observer has met the brightness requirement. If the auxiliary brightness signal is greater than the preset brightness threshold, it means that the brightness of the first street lamp irradiating the observer has met the requirement, and the brightness of the second street lamp irradiating the observer does not need to be so bright, then the detection mechanism of the second street lamp obtains the default brightness signal, adjusts the brightness of the second street lamp according to the brightness signal, and obtains the corresponding angle signal according to the calculated movement information, and adjusts the irradiation angle of the second street lamp according to the angle signal, so that the irradiation area of ​​the second street lamp is located in front of the observer. If the auxiliary brightness signal is less than the preset brightness threshold, the detection mechanism of the second street lamp executes steps S41 and S42.

Specifically, the street lamp body includes a lamp pole 6, a lamp housing 1 arranged on the lamp pole 6 and a lighting module 2 rotatably arranged in the lamp housing 1.
