Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting equipment, specifically to a mobile lighthouse. Background Technology

[0002] Mobile lighthouses are widely applicable to large-area lighting in places such as wide roads, overpasses, squares, docks, tank farms, warehouses, ports, freight yards, train marshalling yards, and airport aprons.

[0003] During use, mobile lighthouses typically need to be raised several meters above the ground and their angle adjusted to achieve better illumination. However, some of Zian's mobile lighthouses require manual adjustment of the light's position and angle after being raised to the top, which is inconvenient and lacks precision. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a mobile lighthouse to solve the problems of inconvenience in using mobile lighthouses and poor adjustment accuracy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the inventors provide a mobile lighthouse, comprising a mobile vehicle body, a telescopic rotating mechanism, a lighting mechanism, and a camera mechanism; a diesel generator set and a battery pack are installed inside the mobile vehicle body; the bottom of the telescopic rotating mechanism is installed at the bottom of the mobile vehicle body; the lighting mechanism is installed on top of the telescopic rotating mechanism, which is used to rotate and raise the lighting mechanism; the diesel generator set is used to power the battery pack or the lighting mechanism, and the battery pack is used to power the lighting mechanism; the camera mechanism is installed on the lighting mechanism, which is used to track the human body and adjust the illumination position and direction of the lighting mechanism so that the lighting mechanism illuminates the human body.

[0006] In some embodiments, the mobile lighthouse also includes solar panels mounted inside the mobile vehicle body, which are used to power the battery pack.

[0007] In some embodiments, the camera mechanism includes at least one camera and a control module. The camera is used to track a human body and send the tracking data to the control module, and the control module is used to control the lighting mechanism to provide illumination based on the tracking data.

[0008] In some embodiments, the lighting mechanism includes a lighting component and at least two lighting lamps. The lighting component includes a mounting base, a double-sided rack, a rack drive unit, and a lighting bracket. The lighting bracket is used to mount the lighting lamps. A mounting base is mounted on the top of the telescopic rotary mechanism. The rack drive unit and the double-sided rack are mounted in the mounting base. The output end of the rack drive unit is connected to the double-sided rack, and both sides of the double-sided rack are respectively connected to the lighting bracket. The rack drive unit is used to drive the double-sided rack to move horizontally along the axial direction, and the lighting bracket rotates around the mounting base to adjust the illumination direction of the lighting lamps.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lighting mechanism includes four lights, and two double-sided racks, two rack drive units, and four lighting brackets are installed in the mounting base. One rack drive unit corresponds to one double-sided rack, and one lighting bracket corresponds to one light. One double-sided rack is installed on one side of the mounting base, and the other double-sided rack is installed on the other side of the mounting base.

[0010] In some embodiments, the lighting mechanism includes an adjustment assembly, which includes an adjustment drive unit; the lighting lamp is hinged to the lighting bracket, the fixed end of the adjustment drive unit is fixed to the lighting bracket, and the movable end of the adjustment drive unit is connected to the lighting lamp. The adjustment drive unit is used to drive the lighting lamp to rotate about the hinge point with the lighting bracket to adjust the pitch angle of the lighting lamp.

[0011] In some embodiments, the mobile lighthouse also includes a centralized lighting mode. When the mobile lighthouse is in centralized lighting mode, one of the lights on each side of the mounting base is turned off, and the camera mechanism automatically tracks the user's real-time position and adjusts the illumination direction and position of the lights according to the real-time position.

[0012] In some embodiments, the telescopic rotary mechanism includes a lifting rod and a rotary device; the rotary device is installed at the bottom of the lifting rod, and a lighting mechanism is installed at the top of the lifting rod; the rotary device includes a rotary drive unit, a worm gear, and a turbine rotary bearing, the turbine rotary bearing meshing with the worm gear, the output end of the rotary drive unit being connected to the turbine, and the rotary drive unit being used to drive the worm gear to rotate in order to adjust the illumination position of the lighting mechanism.

[0013] In some embodiments, the mobile lighthouse also includes a gesture control mode. When the mobile lighthouse is in gesture control mode, after the illumination direction and position of the lighting mechanism meet the user's requirements, the user makes a specified gesture facing the camera mechanism, and the camera mechanism adjusts the illumination direction and position of the lighting mechanism according to the specified gesture.

[0014] In some embodiments, the mobile lighthouse also includes a voice module, which is mounted on the lighting mechanism and the camera module is communicatively connected to the voice module. The mobile lighthouse also includes a sentry mode. When the camera module detects no activity in the illuminated area within fifteen minutes, the camera module controls the lighting mechanism to turn off the lights, and the mobile lighthouse enters sentry mode. The camera module continues to monitor, and when there is non-user activity in the illuminated area, the camera module controls the voice module to issue an alarm.

[0015] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution incorporates a camera mechanism mounted on the lighting mechanism. This camera mechanism can track the human body in real time and control the lighting based on the body's position. Specifically, when the human body is in different positions, the camera mechanism can adjust the illumination position and angle of the lighting mechanism in real time according to the body's position, ensuring that there is a light source at all locations where the human body is located, meeting usage requirements and providing high adjustment precision.

For those skilled in the art to which this application pertains, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment relates to a mobile lighthouse 100, including a mobile vehicle body 1, a telescopic rotating mechanism 2, a lighting mechanism 3, and a camera mechanism 4. A diesel generator set 11 and a battery pack 12 are installed inside the mobile vehicle body 1. The bottom of the telescopic rotating mechanism 2 is installed at the bottom of the mobile vehicle body 1. The lighting mechanism 3 is installed on the top of the telescopic rotating mechanism 2. The telescopic rotating mechanism 2 is used to rotate and raise the lighting mechanism 3. The diesel generator set 11 is used to supply power to the battery pack 12 or the lighting mechanism 3. The battery pack 12 is used to supply power to the lighting mechanism 3. The camera mechanism 4 is installed on the lighting mechanism 3. The camera mechanism 4 is used to track the human body and adjust the illumination position and illumination direction of the lighting mechanism 3 so that the lighting mechanism 3 illuminates the human body.

[0065] The mobile vehicle body 1 includes a carriage and casters 15, which are installed at the bottom of the carriage for easy movement. Optionally, the carriage includes a shell 14, within which a diesel generator set 11 and a battery pack 12 are housed. In some embodiments, to ensure heat dissipation of the mobile vehicle body 1, heat dissipation holes are provided on the shell 14 or a radiator is installed inside the carriage. The diesel generator set 11 is a power supply device that uses a diesel engine as the prime mover to drive a synchronous generator to generate electricity. Therefore, the diesel generator set 11 can directly supply power to the lighting mechanism 3. As a preferred embodiment, since the power generation of the diesel generator set 11 is not stable enough, the lighting mechanism 3 may be affected by flickering during actual use. Therefore, the diesel generator set 11 supplies power to the lighting mechanism 3 through the battery pack 12. Specifically, the diesel generator supplies power to the battery pack 12, and the battery pack 12 then supplies power to the lighting mechanism 3.

[0066] A telescopic rotating mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the mobile vehicle body 1, and a lighting mechanism 3 is mounted on the top of the telescopic rotating mechanism 2. The telescopic rotating mechanism 2 has both telescopic and rotating functions. The telescopic function ensures that the lighting mechanism 3 has a certain illumination height to meet the user's needs. The rotating function is provided because the illumination range of the lighting mechanism 3 is limited, requiring adjustment of the illumination position. Therefore, the rotating function is provided to adjust the illumination position of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0067] The lighting mechanism 3 includes multiple lighting lamps 32, which provide the lighting function.

[0068] The camera mechanism 4 is mounted on the lighting mechanism 3. The camera mechanism 4 has a camera function and can record video in real time. The camera mechanism 4 tracks the human body based on the real-time video and adjusts the illumination position and direction of the lighting mechanism 3 according to the tracking results so that the lighting can meet the needs of the human body.

[0069] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution includes a camera mechanism 4, which is mounted on the lighting mechanism 3. The camera mechanism 4 can track the human body in real time and control the lighting mechanism 3 based on the human body's position. Specifically, when the human body is in different positions, the camera mechanism 4 can adjust the illumination position and angle of the lighting mechanism 3 in real time according to the human body's position, ensuring that there is a light source at every location of the human body, meeting usage requirements, and achieving high adjustment accuracy.

[0070] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile lighthouse 100 also includes a solar panel 13, which is installed inside the mobile vehicle body 1 and is used to power the battery pack 12.

[0071] To save energy, solar panels 13 are also installed inside the mobile vehicle body 1. Optionally, solar panels 13 are installed on the top of the battery pack 12, and the solar panels 13 are used to power the battery pack 12.

[0072] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the camera mechanism 4 includes at least one camera 41 and a control module. The camera 41 is used to track the human body and send the tracking data to the control module. The control module is used to control the lighting mechanism 3 to illuminate based on the tracking data.

[0073] At least one camera 41 is provided, which is a high-definition night vision camera 41 and is equipped with a Python visual human tracking system. Optionally, two cameras 41 are provided, one on each side of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0074] The control module is used to control the lighting mechanism 3 to achieve automated human body tracking and lighting based on the tracking data of the human body tracked by the camera 41. In some embodiments, the camera 41 may have a built-in control module.

[0075] Before using camera module 4, user 5 needs to stand directly in front of the device so that the top camera 41 can extract the skeletal points of user 5 and calculate the coordinates of the center points of the shoulders. This ensures that the subsequent camera 41 can track the position of user 5 in real time. When another user needs to use the human body tracking function, camera module 4 needs to be reset so that it can extract the skeletal points of the new user and calculate the coordinates of the center points of the shoulders, ensuring that the new user can use the human body tracking function.

[0076] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the lighting mechanism 3 includes a lighting component 31 and at least two lighting lamps 32. The lighting component 31 includes a mounting base 311, a double-sided rack 312, a rack drive unit 313, and a lighting bracket 314. The lighting bracket 314 is used to mount the lighting lamps 32. The top of the telescopic rotary mechanism 2 is equipped with a mounting base 311. The rack drive unit 313 and the double-sided rack 312 are installed in the mounting base 311. The output end of the rack drive unit 313 is connected to the double-sided rack 312. The two sides of the double-sided rack 312 are respectively connected to the lighting bracket 314 for transmission. The rack drive unit 313 is used to drive the double-sided rack 312 to move horizontally along the axial direction a. The lighting bracket 314 rotates around the mounting base 311 to adjust the illumination direction of the lighting lamps 32.

[0077] The lighting assembly 31 includes a mounting base 311, a double-sided rack 312, a rack drive unit 313, and a lighting bracket 314. The mounting base 311 is mounted on top of the telescopic rotary mechanism 2. The mounting base 311 contains a double-sided rack 312, meaning it has racks on both sides. Each rack corresponds to one lighting bracket 314, meaning one double-sided rack 312 can be driven by two lighting brackets 314. In some embodiments, the lighting bracket 314 includes a gear 315, which is mounted on the mounting base 311 and meshes with the double-sided rack 312. Optionally, the gear 315 may be made of stainless steel or powder metallurgy, and may include a spur gear. One rack drive unit 313 corresponds to one double-sided rack 312, and the rack drive unit 313 may be a cylinder or a push rod, etc. In actual use, the rack and pinion drive unit 313 extends and retracts, causing the rack to move horizontally along the axial direction a. Simultaneously, it meshes with the spur gear 315 fixed within the lighting bracket 314, causing the lighting bracket 314 to rotate. In a preferred embodiment, the lighting assembly 31 also includes a position sensor 316, which is installed within the mounting base 311. The position sensor 316 senses the stroke of the double-sided rack and pinion 312 as it moves horizontally along the axial direction a, preventing the rack and pinion 312 from exceeding its range of motion.

[0078] The lighting lamp 32 can be an LED lamp or a metal halide bulb, etc. One lighting lamp 32 is mounted on one lighting bracket 314. Therefore, when the lighting bracket 314 rotates, the lighting lamp 32 mounted on the lighting bracket 314 also rotates, thereby adjusting the illumination direction of the lighting lamp 32. Specifically, in actual use, since one double-sided rack 312 corresponds to two lighting brackets 314, when the linear motion of the double-sided rack 312 is converted into rotational motion, the two lighting lamps 32 move towards or away from each other.

[0079] The adjustment of the illumination direction of the two lights 32 is solved by setting a double-sided rack 312, which saves space and is easy to use.

[0080] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the lighting mechanism 3 includes four lighting lamps 32. The mounting base 311 houses two double-sided racks 312, two rack drive units 313, and four lighting brackets 314. One rack drive unit 313 corresponds to one double-sided rack 312, and one lighting bracket 314 corresponds to one lighting lamp 32. One double-sided rack 312 is mounted on one side of the mounting base 311, and the other double-sided rack 312 is mounted on the other side of the mounting base 311.

[0081] Two double-sided racks 312 are installed inside the mounting base 311. One rack 312 is mounted on one side of the mounting base 311, and the other rack 312 is mounted on the other side. Because there are two racks 312, four lighting brackets 314 are typically provided. In some embodiments, multiple racks 312 and multiple lighting lamps 32 can be provided to expand the illumination area. In actual use, the lighting lamps 32 on the same side are controlled by the rack drive unit 313 on that side. Under the action of the rack drive unit 313, the two lighting lamps 32 on that side move towards or away from each other.

[0082] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lighting mechanism 3 includes an adjustment component 33, which includes an adjustment drive unit 331. The lighting lamp 32 is hinged to the lighting bracket 314. The fixed end of the adjustment drive unit 331 is fixed to the lighting bracket 314, and the movable end of the adjustment drive unit 331 is connected to the lighting lamp 32. The adjustment drive unit 331 is used to drive the lighting lamp 32 to rotate around the hinge point with the lighting bracket 314 to adjust the pitch angle of the lighting lamp 32.

[0083] The adjustment drive unit 331 includes a cylinder and a push rod. The fixed end of the adjustment drive unit 331 is fixed to the lighting bracket 314, and the movable end of the adjustment drive unit 331 is connected to the lighting lamp 32. The lighting lamp 32 is hinged to the lighting bracket 314. Thus, by extending and retracting the adjustment drive unit 331, the lighting lamp 32 rotates around the hinge point, thereby adjusting the upward or downward angle of the lighting lamp 32. In some embodiments, to avoid over-adjustment of the adjustment drive unit 331, the adjustment drive unit 331 has a stroke adjustment function, which can effectively prevent damage to the device caused by over-travel. Specifically, when the pitch angle of the lighting lamp 32 is 0 degrees, the extension amount of the adjustment drive unit 331 reaches its maximum.

[0084] The tilt angle of the lighting lamp 32 can be adjusted by setting the adjustment component 33, thereby adjusting the illumination direction of the lighting lamp 32.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the control module of the camera mechanism 4 is wirelessly connected to the telescopic rotary mechanism 2, the adjustment drive unit 331 and the rack drive unit 313. The control module controls the telescopic rotary mechanism 2, the adjustment drive unit 331 and the rack drive unit 313 to perform corresponding actions based on the tracking data of the human body tracked by the camera 41, thereby adjusting the illumination position and illumination direction of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0086] According to some embodiments of this application, the mobile lighthouse 100 may optionally include a centralized lighting mode. When the mobile lighthouse 100 is in the centralized lighting mode, one of the lights 32 located on both sides of the mounting base 311 is turned off. The camera mechanism 4 will automatically track the real-time position of the user 5 and adjust the illumination direction and position of the lights 32 according to the real-time position.

[0087] To conserve power of the lighting lamps 32, the mobile light tower 100 features a centralized lighting mode. When four lighting lamps 32 are mounted on the mounting base 311, two lamps 32 are mounted on each side of the mounting base 311. In this mode, the device automatically turns off two of the lighting lamps 32, and the angle b between the mounting base 311 and the lighting bracket 314 is 90°. With the automatic lighting tracking function of the camera mechanism 4 (which automatically tracks the real-time position of the user 5 and adjusts the illumination direction and position of the lighting lamps 32 accordingly), the lighting needs of the user 5 can also be met.

[0088] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the telescopic rotary mechanism 2 includes a lifting rod 21 and a rotary device 22; the rotary device 22 is installed at the bottom of the lifting rod 21, and the lighting mechanism 3 is installed at the top of the lifting rod 21; the rotary device 22 includes a rotary drive unit 221, a worm gear 222 and a turbine rotary support 223, the turbine rotary support 223 meshes with the worm gear 222, the output end of the rotary drive unit 221 is connected to the turbine, and the rotary drive unit 221 is used to drive the worm gear 222 to rotate in order to adjust the illumination position of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0089] The lifting mast 21 is a conventional lighthouse lifting structure. A rotating device 22 is installed at the bottom of the lifting mast 21, and a lighting mechanism 3 is installed at the top. The lifting mast 21 is used to raise and lower the lighting mechanism 3.

[0090] The slewing device 22 is located between the lifting rod 21 and the bottom of the moving vehicle body 1. The slewing device 22 includes a slewing drive unit 221, a worm gear 222, and a turbine slewing bearing 223. The slewing drive unit 221 includes a motor or electric motor. The output end of the slewing drive unit 221 is connected to the worm gear 222, and the worm gear 222 meshes with the turbine slewing bearing 223. Therefore, under the action of the slewing drive unit 221, the worm gear 222 rotates, and the turbine slewing bearing 223 meshing with it also rotates, thereby driving the lifting rod 21 to rotate, and finally driving the lighting mechanism 3 to rotate, so as to adjust the illumination position of the lighting mechanism 3.

[0091] By setting up the rotary device 22, the rotation of the lighting mechanism 3 becomes more intelligent, allowing for more flexible adjustment of the illumination position. Specifically, the rotary device 22 can adjust the illumination position of the entire lighting mechanism 3 360°, while the lighting component 31 adjusts the illumination direction of individual lamps 32, and the adjustment range is limited by the axial horizontal movement range a of the double-sided rack 312. Therefore, these two do not conflict in use.

[0092] According to some embodiments of this application, the mobile lighthouse 100 may optionally include a gesture control mode. When the mobile lighthouse 100 is in the gesture control mode, after the illumination direction and illumination position of the lighting mechanism 3 meet the requirements of the user 5, the user 5 makes a specified gesture towards the camera mechanism 4, and the camera mechanism 4 adjusts the illumination direction and illumination position of the lighting mechanism 3 according to the specified gesture.

[0093] To make the mobile lighthouse 100 more flexible in use, a gesture control module is also provided. Specifically, the camera mechanism 4 has preset gestures for remotely locking the pan-tilt unit. When the illumination direction and position of the lighting mechanism 3 meet the requirements of the user 5 (determined by the user 5 based on actual usage), the user 5 needs to make a specified gesture towards the camera mechanism 4. The corresponding program and instructions are embedded in the camera mechanism 4, and the camera mechanism 4 will adjust the illumination direction and position of the lighting mechanism 3 according to the specified gesture to meet the user 5's needs. Specifically, the specified gestures include the user 5 rotating their hand one full turn, waving their hand downwards, and raising their hand upwards, etc., corresponding to the lighting mechanism 3 rotating a specified angle (45° or 90°), the lighting lamp 32 rotating downwards around the hinge point with the lighting bracket 314 by a specified angle (15° or 30°), and the lighting lamp 32 rotating upwards around the hinge point with the lighting bracket 314 by a specified angle (15° or 30°). Each time the user 5 makes a specified gesture, the lighting mechanism 3 adjusts once according to that gesture. When multiple adjustments are required, the user 5 needs to make multiple specified gestures. In some embodiments, to facilitate multiple uses of gestures, a start gesture and an end gesture are provided for easy recognition by the camera mechanism 4. Specifically, the user 5 can make multiple specified gestures between the start and end gestures. The camera mechanism 4 will sequentially recognize these multiple specified gestures and stop recognizing them after the end gesture is made. Finally, the camera mechanism 4 will adjust the illumination direction and position of the lighting mechanism 3 according to the multiple specified gestures. The user's data is stored in the camera mechanism 4, and the camera mechanism 4 will only recognize the specified gestures made by the user.

[0094] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the mobile lighthouse 100 also includes a voice module, which is installed on the lighting mechanism 3, and the camera mechanism 4 is communicatively connected to the voice module; the mobile lighthouse 100 also includes a sentry mode, in which the camera mechanism 4 controls the lighting mechanism 3 to turn off the lights after monitoring no one in the illuminated area for fifteen minutes, and the mobile lighthouse 100 enters the sentry mode, and the camera mechanism 4 continues to monitor. When there is non-user activity in the illuminated area, the camera mechanism 4 controls the voice module to issue an alarm reminder.

[0095] To make the mobile lighthouse 100 smarter and better meet the daily needs of users, it also features a sentry mode. To complement this mode, a voice module is installed on the lighting mechanism 3 and communicates with the camera module 4, allowing the camera module 4 to control its broadcasts. In actual use, the camera module 4 monitors the illuminated area of ​​the lighting mechanism 3 for human activity in 15-minute intervals (providing sufficient time for users to leave). If no human activity is detected within 15 minutes, the camera module 4 automatically turns off the lighting mechanism 3. After turning off, it automatically enters sentry mode, where it maintains monitoring. If a non-user enters the illuminated area, the camera module 4 issues an alarm to warn them to move away from the area. Here, "user" refers to the human data recorded by the camera module 4 during human tracking, while "non-user" refers to human data not recorded by the camera module 4.

[0096] By incorporating a sentry mode, the Mobile Lighthouse 100 becomes more intelligent, preventing unauthorized access. Additionally, it reduces power consumption and extends runtime.

[0097] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution includes a camera mechanism 4, which is mounted on the lighting mechanism 3. The camera mechanism 4 can track the human body in real time and control the lighting mechanism 3 based on the human body's position. Specifically, when the human body is in different positions, the camera mechanism 4 can adjust the illumination position and angle of the lighting mechanism 3 in real time according to the human body's position, ensuring that there is a light source at every location of the human body, meeting usage requirements, and achieving high adjustment accuracy.

[0098] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
