Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a street lamp maintenance device and also to an urban street lamp maintenance method comprising the street lamp maintenance device. Background Art

[0002] Streetlights are fixtures that illuminate roads. Broadly speaking, they also include lighting fixtures widely used in various outdoor public spaces and other areas requiring illumination. They consist of poles, bases, arms, and fixtures. A city has an enormous number of streetlights, covering a vast geographical area. Therefore, while the failure and wear rates of individual modern streetlights are low, the sheer number of streetlights across the city as a whole means that failures are a near-daily occurrence. Furthermore, failures of two consecutive streetlights can occur at random intervals and geographically far apart, requiring municipal maintenance personnel to quickly replace damaged lamps. The downside is that while planned replacement of lamps in batches can reduce bulb failure rates and maintenance in a given area, many bulbs still fail before their lifespan has expired, resulting in wasteful use. Furthermore, bulb failure is still unavoidable. If the method of replacing the damaged bulbs is adopted, it will lead to the inability to carry out effective planning. The maintenance personnel will have to repair the broken parts and work extremely hard. In order to maintain the integrity of the urban street light infrastructure, a considerable amount of maintenance manpower is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a street lamp maintenance device that can regularly maintain and replenish lamps in each area according to a plan, thereby preventing street lamps from being maintained without any plan.

[0004] As described in the background technology above, due to the distance between the municipal engineering personnel's residence and the place where the street lights are damaged, the time spent on replacing street lights is actually not much, which is far less than the time spent on the road. Therefore, the efficiency of this temporary and unplanned maintenance is extremely low. The invention of the inventor of this application is intended to avoid or reduce as much as possible this meaningless time consumption, that is, according to a certain plan and at a certain time interval, all street lights in the planned area and geographical scope can be replenished with one trip, so that within a predetermined time period, the above-mentioned street light maintenance device can automatically or remotely control the maintenance of the street lights without the need for personnel to be dispatched.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a street lamp maintenance device, including a lamp holder suitable for connecting to a light bulb of a street lamp, a first conveying device for conveying the combination of the lamp holder and the light bulb to a predetermined position, a driving device for driving the lamp holder at the predetermined position to move vertically to a target position so that the lamp holder forms a connection with the surface of the lampshade, and a second conveying device for conveying the lamp holder and the light bulb combination to a storage position. The driving device can also drive the lamp holder away from the target position and cooperate with a separation device so that the lamp holder separates from the driving device and enters the second conveying device. The lampshade is provided with a through hole for the light bulb or the light-emitting part of the light bulb to pass through. The lamp holder and the lampshade are provided with electrodes that cooperate with each other for electrically connecting to supply power to the light bulb when the lamp holder moves to the target position.

The two ends of the push plate are respectively fixed on the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, and the push plate is used to push the corresponding lamp holder to a predetermined position.

[0007] Furthermore, a support platform is provided at the predetermined position, the support platform is fixed to the driving device, and the support platform can be in the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the first conveying device.

[0008] Furthermore, the support platform is provided with a circular groove, the circular groove is provided with a notch for the light bulb to pass through, and a positioning baffle or a positioning groove is provided in the circular groove for locating the position of the lamp holder.

[0010] Furthermore, the separation device includes a push rod, and the baffle is provided with a channel for the push rod to pass through. When the driving device drives the support platform from the target position to the separation position, the push rod passes through the channel so that the combination of the lamp holder and the bulb moves from the separation device to the second conveying device and the second conveying device conveys the combination of the lamp holder and the bulb to a predetermined position.

[0011] The first conveying device includes a turntable, and a clamping piece for clamping the lamp holder is radially provided on the turntable. The turntable conveys the combination of the lamp holder and the bulb to a predetermined position by rotating a predetermined angle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the invention, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, a street lamp maintenance device of the present invention includes a lamp holder 3 suitable for connecting to a light bulb 4 of a street lamp, a first conveying device 5 for conveying the combination of the lamp holder 3 and the light bulb 4 to a predetermined position, a driving device 7 for driving the lamp holder 3 at the predetermined position to move vertically to a target position so that the lamp holder 3 forms a connection with the surface of the lampshade 2, and a second conveying device 6 for conveying the combination of the lamp holder 3 and the light bulb 4 to a storage position. The driving device 7 can also drive the lamp holder 3 away from the target position and cooperate with the separating device 9 so that the lamp holder 3 separates from the driving device 7 and enters the second conveying device 6. The lampshade 2 is provided with a through hole 205 for the light bulb 4 or the light-emitting part of the light bulb 4 to pass through. The lamp holder 3 and the lampshade 2 are provided with electrodes that cooperate with each other for electrically connecting to supply power to the light bulb 4 when the lamp holder 3 moves to the target position. The above-mentioned street lamp maintenance device can be set in its entirety in the lampshade 2 or partially in the lampshade 2 or an independently set box. The lampshade 2 and the box are reserved with openable and closable openings for maintaining or replacing the bulb 4. In this embodiment, a bulb with an overall cylindrical shape is usually used. The lampshade 2 includes an upper shell 201, a lower transparent cover body 202 and a reflective cover 203 arranged between the shell 201 and the cover body 202 for reflecting light. A cavity 204 for accommodating the above-mentioned street lamp maintenance device is formed between the reflective cover 203 and the shell 201. The first conveying device 5 and the second conveying device 6 are arranged up and down, and their working principle is as follows: the maintenance personnel pre-combine the lamp holder 3 and the bulb 4 to form a combination (hereinafter referred to as a lamp). When the lamp is damaged, the control device remotely controls the driving device 7 to drive the damaged lamp away from the target position to the separation position. The separation device 9 allows the damaged lamp to enter the second conveying device 6. The second conveying device 6 sends the damaged lamp to the storage position. After the damaged lamp is separated, the driving device 7 continues to move to the predetermined position, and the first conveying device 5 is started to transport one of the pre-placed lamps to the predetermined position. The driving device 7 drives the lamp into the target position. The electrode provided in the lamp holder 3 contacts the electrode on the upper surface of the reflector 203, so that the lamp holder 3 is electrically connected to the street lamp power supply, completing the replacement of the lamp. Since the lamp holder 3 and the bulb 4 are replaced as a whole, the problem of easily damaging the bulb 4 when a mechanical device is used to rotate the bulb 4 and the lamp holder 3 is avoided.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, in Example 1, the first conveying device 5 and the second conveying device 6 include a first conveyor belt 501 and a second conveyor belt 502, and the first conveyor belt 501 and the second conveyor belt 502 are symmetrically arranged. A wing plate 301 is provided on the end of the lamp holder 3, and the two ends of the wing plate 301 are respectively mounted on the first conveyor belt 501 and the second conveyor belt 502. The first conveying device 5 is also provided with a push plate 503, and the push plate 503 is arranged behind the lamp holder 3. The two ends of the push plate 503 are respectively fixed on the first conveyor belt 501 and the second conveyor belt 502, and the push plate 503 is used to push the corresponding lamp holder 3 to a predetermined position. In this embodiment, the first conveyor belt 501 and the second conveyor belt 502 operate synchronously, and at least the light bulb 4 can move in the space between the first conveyor belt 501 and the second conveyor belt 502. The first conveyor device 5 and the second conveyor device 6 can be aligned up and down to reduce the required setting distance between the first conveyor device 5 and the second conveyor device 6. At this time, the minimum clear height of the first conveyor device 5 and the second conveyor device 6 only needs to be greater than the thickness of the wing plate 301, thereby shortening the height of the entire cavity 204 to reduce its volume.

[0032] In the above embodiment, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a support 8 is provided at the predetermined position. The support 8 is fixed to the driving device 7 and can be on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the first conveying device 5. The support 8 can be provided with a circular groove 801, which has a notch 802 for the light bulb 4 to pass through. The wing plate 301 can enter the circular groove 801. The circular groove 801 is provided with a positioning baffle 803 or a positioning groove for locating the position of the lamp holder 3. In this embodiment, when the lamp reaches the end of the first conveyor belt 501 and the second conveyor belt 502, one side of the wing plate 301 of the lamp enters the plane of the support 8, while the other side remains on the first conveying device 5. At this time, as the first conveying device 5 continues to operate, the push plate 503 pushes the lamp completely into the support 8. The length of the push plate 503 along the operating direction of the first conveying device 5 and the positioning groove or positioning plate enable the lamp to accurately enter the predetermined position. In order to push the lamp away from the first conveying device 5 more smoothly, two guide arms 804 can be provided between the support 8 and the first conveying device 5, and the space between the guide arms 804 is for the bulb 4 to pass. The portion where the support 8 and the wing plate 301 move relative to each other can use a smooth surface.

[0033] In the above embodiment, referring to Figure 1As shown, the lower surface of the wing plate 301 is provided with a protrusion 302, which passes through the notch 802. The protrusion 302 is provided with a groove 303, and the groove 303 is provided with an electrode sheet 304. The upper surface of the reflector 203 of the lampshade 2 is provided with a conductive post 206, which is electrically connected to the electrode sheet 304 in the groove 303. In addition, the protrusion 302 can prevent the lamp from contacting the conveyor belt and the wall of the trough during transportation, thereby damaging the bulb.

[0034] In the above embodiments, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the separation device 9 includes a push rod 901, and the baffle is provided with a channel 805 for the push rod 901 to pass through. When the driving device 7 drives the support 8 from the target position to the separation position, the push rod 901 passes through the channel 805 so that the combination of the lamp holder 3 and the bulb 4 is moved from the support 8 to the second conveying device 6 and the second conveying device 6 conveys the combination of the lamp holder 3 and the bulb 4 to the storage position.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment 2 of the present invention is basically the same as the embodiment 1, and the only difference is the first conveying device 5 and the driving device 7. In the embodiment 2, the first conveying device 5 is replaced by a motor-driven turntable 10 instead of a conveyor belt. The turntable 10 is radially provided with a clamping member 101 for clamping the lamp holder 3. The turntable 10 transports the combination of the lamp holder 3 and the bulb 4 to a predetermined position by rotating a predetermined angle. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the driving device 7 includes a lifting device 702 and a driving rod 701 on the upper surface of the reflector 203 of the lampshade. One end of the lifting device 702 is fixed to the base 8. A driving rod 701 is provided above the base 8. The driving rod 701 cooperates with the lifting device 702 to move the lamp holder 3 to the target position.

[0036] In the above examples 1 and 2, reference is made to Figure 6 As shown, a limit block 11 is provided above the target position. The limit block 11 is electrically controllably extendable and retractable to limit the position of the lamp to prevent poor electrode contact. The street lamp maintenance device also includes a control device for remote communication and controlling the operation of the first conveying device 5, the second conveying device 6, the driving device 7, and the separating device 9 according to a predetermined control program.

[0037] In the above-mentioned embodiments 1 and 2, the first conveying device 5, the driving device 7, and the separating device 9 all need to be provided with a power device, and are usually driven by a control device to control the motor. The second conveying device 6 does not necessarily need a power device. In some cases, it is set as an inclined surface and transported by gravity.

[0038] The present invention also includes a method for maintaining urban street lamps, comprising the following steps:

[0039] (1) Installing the above-mentioned street lamp maintenance device and a sensor for detecting a failure of the bulb 4 on street lamps within a predetermined area;

[0040] (2) Maintain the streetlights in the predetermined area at predetermined time intervals, remove the damaged bulbs 4 in the streetlight maintenance devices, and replace them with the same number of qualified bulbs 4, so that after the maintenance is completed, the bulbs 4 in all streetlight maintenance devices in the predetermined area are fully loaded and intact.

[0041] (3) When the sensor detects that the bulb 4 is faulty or confirms that the bulb 4 is faulty, the street light maintenance device is controlled to replace the bulb 4.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
