Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of street lamps, and in particular to a landscape LED lighting device. Background Art

[0002] In my country's coastal cities, July, August and September are the peak typhoon seasons. During urban construction, a certain number of landscape lights are usually laid on the roadsides of parks and communities. However, when a typhoon passes, these landscape lights will be blown down or blown up by the wind. In order to avoid this situation, the landscape lights are usually dismantled one day before the typhoon passes and installed again after the typhoon passes.

[0003] In the invention patent application with publication (announcement) number: CN105864702A, publication (announcement) date: 2016-08-17, and titled "A Landscape Lamp", it includes a lamp pole and a lamp body installed on the upper end of the lamp pole, and a plurality of light-emitting elements are arranged on the lamp body. It also includes a base, and a first support plate and a second support plate are arranged in the base. The first support plate and the second support plate are parallel. The lamp pole extends into the base and vertically penetrates the first support plate and the second support plate. A screw sleeve is arranged between the first support plate and the second support plate, and the screw sleeve is sleeved on the lamp pole and is screwed with the lamp pole. The two ends of the screw sleeve are respectively against the first support plate and the second support plate, a gear ring is fixed on the outer circumference of the screw sleeve, the output shaft of a motor is connected to a gear, and the gear is meshed with the gear ring; a guide sleeve is fixed in the base, the guide sleeve is sleeved on the lamp pole, an axially extending guide groove is arranged on the inner wall of the guide sleeve, and a limit block is fixed on the outer wall of the lamp pole to slide in the guide groove to prevent the lamp pole from rotating; a water level sensor is also arranged on the lamp body, the output end of the water level sensor is electrically connected to the input end of a controller, and the output end of the controller is electrically connected to the electric control component of the motor. It can monitor the water level in real time through the water level sensor. When the water level sensor detects that the water level rises, the water level sensor sends a signal to the controller, the controller controls the motor to work, and the motor drives the screw sleeve to rotate. Through the threaded fit of the screw sleeve and the lamp pole, the lamp pole moves upward, so that the lamp body rises, which can prevent the lamp body from being submerged.

[0004] In the prior art, since the base of the landscape lamp is detachably connected to the lamp pole, the height of the landscape lamp is generally 2-3 meters for the shortest and 7-8 meters for the longest. Therefore, during the disassembly and installation process, the center of gravity of the lamp pole is often biased upward due to its high height, which makes it easy to tip over.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-20 As shown, the present invention provides a landscape LED lighting device, including a base 1, a first lamp pole 1.1 and a second lamp pole 1.2, and also includes: a locking assembly: which is arranged on the second lamp pole 1.2 and is used to lock and limit the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2;

[0031] The deceleration assembly is arranged on the first lamp pole 1.1 and slides in the radial direction of the first lamp pole 1.1;

[0032] When the user manually rotates the locking assembly to unlock it, the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2 slide relative to each other and are decelerated by the deceleration assembly, so that the center of gravity of the landscape lamp moves downward, making it easier to disassemble the street lamp.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the landscape lamp includes a base 1, a first lamp pole 1.1 and a second lamp pole 1.2. The base 1 is cast on the ground by concrete. The base 1 and the first lamp pole 1.1 are detachably connected, and can be connected by plugging, snapping, etc. In the prior art, bolts are generally used for fixing (not shown in the figure). The second lamp pole 1.2 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the first lamp pole 1.1. The first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2 slide relatively in their axial directions, and an LED lamp is arranged on the top of the second lamp pole 1.2.

[0034] The locking assembly is installed on the first lamp pole 1.1, and the locking assembly has two states, namely a locked state and an unlocked state. When the second lamp pole 1.2 is at the top end of the first lamp pole 1.1, the locking assembly is used to lock and limit the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2. The locking assembly locks and limits the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2 by plugging or snapping, and the locking assembly is unlocked by manual rotation. Therefore, the locking assembly is a mechanism that converts circular motion into linear motion. In the prior art, the mechanisms that can convert circular motion into linear motion include gear rack transmission mechanisms, crank rocker transmission mechanisms or other mechanisms that can convert circular motion into linear motion, all of which are applicable to the present embodiment.

[0035] Deceleration assembly: It is arranged on the first lamp pole 1.1. The deceleration assembly is used to increase the friction between the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2 during the relative sliding process of the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2, so as to slow down the downward sliding speed of the second lamp pole 1.2. The deceleration assembly slides in the radial direction of the first lamp pole 1.1. It extends to the outer peripheral side of the first lamp pole 1.1 during the downward sliding of the street lamp in the vertical direction relative to the first lamp pole 1.1, and abuts against the inner wall of the second lamp pole 1.2, thereby increasing the friction between the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole during the relative sliding. When the second lamp pole 1.2 moves upward, the deceleration assembly shrinks into the first lamp pole 1.1, so that it does not abut against the inner wall of the second lamp pole 1.2, so that the deceleration assembly does not generate resistance during the upward sliding of the second lamp pole 1.2.

[0036] During use, first manually remove the bolts between the base 1 and the first lamp pole 1.1, and then rotate the locking assembly to unlock the locking assembly, so that the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2 can slide relative to each other, that is, the second lamp pole 1.2 slides from the top of the first lamp pole 1.1 to the bottom of the first lamp pole 1.1 under the action of gravity, and when the deceleration assembly decelerates during the sliding of the first lamp pole 1.1 and the second lamp pole 1.2, the center of gravity of the lamp pole is moved downward, which is convenient for users to align and disassemble.

[0037] Reference Figure 3-19 As shown, in another embodiment provided by the present invention, the deceleration assembly includes a first clamping member installed on the first lamp pole 1.1 and a second clamping member installed on the second lamp pole 1.2, and the first clamping member and the second clamping member are engaged.
