The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1The present embodiment provides an intensity self-adjusting street lamp, comprising a lamp body 1, a support part 2, a power supply part 3, a conductive part 4, a drive part 5, a detection part 7, a control part 8 and a resistance adjustment part 9, wherein the lamp body 1 is mounted on one side of the support part 1, the input end of the power supply part 3 is connected to the negative end of the lamp body 1, and the output end is connected to the resistance adjustment part 9, the detection part 7 is mounted on the outside of the support part 1, and is used to detect the light intensity, the conductive part 4 is attached to the outside of the resistance adjustment part 9 and is electrically connected to the resistance adjustment part 9, the conductive part 4 is connected to the positive end of the lamp body 1, and the control part 8 is arranged inside the support part 1, and is used to receive the detection signal of the detection part 7 and send an operation instruction to the drive part 5 according to the detection signal, so as to drive the conductive part 4 to move along the length direction of the resistance adjustment part 9 through the drive part 5.

[0031] The power supply unit 3 outputs current, which flows through the resistance adjustment unit 9, the conductive unit 4 and the lamp body 1 in sequence and flows back to the power supply unit 3 to achieve electrical conduction of the lamp body 1, so as to drive the lamp body 1 to emit illuminating light; the intensity of the external light is detected by the detection unit 7. When the intensity of the external light is weakened, the control unit 8 receives the signal of weakened light intensity and sends an operation instruction to the driving unit 5, and uses the driving unit 5 to drive the conductive unit 4 to move to one side along the resistance adjustment unit 9. At this time, the path of the current output by the power supply unit 3 flowing through the resistance adjustment unit 9 is shortened, and the resistance adjustment unit 9 is turned off. 9 decreases, so that the current flowing through the lamp body 1 increases, thereby enhancing the lighting intensity of the lamp body 1. When the external light intensity increases, the control unit 8 receives the light intensity enhancement signal to issue an operation instruction to the driving unit 5, and uses the driving unit 5 to drive the conductive part 4 to move to the other side along the resistance adjusting unit 9. At this time, the path of the current output by the power supply unit 3 flowing through the resistance adjusting unit 9 is extended, and the resistance of the resistance adjusting unit 9 increases, so that the current flowing through the lamp body 1 decreases, thereby reducing the lighting intensity of the lamp body 1, so as to realize automatic adjustment of the lighting intensity of the lamp body 1.

When the conductive rod 55 rotates forward, it can cooperate with the thread of the conductive sleeve 43 to drive the conductive sleeve 43 and the conductive card 44 to move to one side along the insulating member 91, so that the path of the current output by the power supply unit 3 flowing through the resistance adjustment unit 9 is shortened, the resistance value of the resistance adjustment unit 9 is reduced, and the current flowing through the lamp body 1 is increased, thereby enhancing the lighting intensity of the lamp body 1; when the intensity of external light increases, the driving unit 5 can drive the conductive rod 55 to rotate reversely according to relevant instructions. When the conductive rod 55 rotates reversely, it can cooperate with the thread of the conductive sleeve 43 to drive the conductive sleeve 43 and the conductive card 44 to move to the other side along the insulating member 91, so that the path of the current output by the power supply unit 3 flowing through the resistance adjustment unit 9 is extended, the resistance value of the resistance adjustment unit 9 is increased, and the current flowing through the lamp body 1 is reduced, thereby reducing the lighting intensity of the lamp body 1.

[0041] In another embodiment, the resistance adjusting part 9 may also include two groups of end plates and metal rods fixedly arranged between the two groups of end plates, a plurality of the metal rods are distributed in a ring-shaped manner, and the resistance values ​​of the plurality of the metal rods are different, the conductive part 4 may also include two groups of metal sheets hingedly arranged on the inner wall of the support part 1, the output end of the power supply part 3 is connected to one group of the metal sheets through a wire, the input end is connected to the negative terminal of the lamp body 1 through a wire, and the other group of metal sheets is connected to the positive terminal of the lamp body 1 through a wire, and the driving part 5 may also include a driving motor for driving one group of the end plates to rotate.

[0042] The control unit 8 sends relevant instructions to the driving motor. When the intensity of external light weakens, the driving motor drives the corresponding end plate to rotate forward by a certain angle, and then drives a number of metal rods to rotate by a certain angle, so that the metal rod with a smaller resistance value rotates to a predetermined position, and the two groups of metal sheets are respectively attached to the two ends of the group of metal rods. At this time, the current flowing through the group of metal rods is relatively large, and then the current flowing through the lamp body 1 is relatively large, thereby enhancing the lighting intensity of the lamp body 1; when the intensity of external light increases, the driving motor drives the corresponding end plate to rotate reversely by a certain angle, and then drives a number of metal rods to rotate and move by an angle, so that the metal rod with a larger resistance value rotates to a predetermined position, and the two groups of metal sheets are respectively attached to the two ends of the group of metal rods. At this time, the current flowing through the group of metal rods is relatively small, and then the current flowing through the lamp body 1 is relatively small, thereby reducing the lighting intensity of the lamp body 1.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, the intensity of external light is detected by the detection unit 7. When the intensity of external light is weakened, the control unit 8 receives the light intensity weakening signal to issue an operation instruction to the driving unit 5, and uses the driving unit 5 to drive the conductive part 4 to move to one side along the resistance adjusting part 9.

When the intensity of external light is enhanced, the control unit 8 receives the light intensity enhancement signal to issue an operation instruction to the driving unit 5, and uses the driving unit 5 to drive the conductive part 4 to move to the other side along the resistance adjusting part 9. At this time, the path of the current output by the power supply unit 3 flowing through the resistance adjusting part 9 is extended, and the resistance value of the resistance adjusting part 9 is increased, so that the current flowing through the lamp body 1 is reduced, thereby reducing the illumination intensity of the lamp body 1, so as to realize automatic adjustment of the illumination intensity of the lamp body 1.
