Only specific staff are required to monitor the central control platform and the sub-control platform to complete the control of the lamps inside the exhibition hall.It saves a lot of labor costs and has higher accuracy.
[0029] Specifically, the telescopic structure 2 includes a telescopic rod 201 and a mounting plate 202. The telescopic rod 201 is installed at the lower end of the suspended ceiling 1, and the mounting plate 202 is installed at the lower end of the telescopic rod 201. The lower end of the mounting plate 202 is connected to the upper end of the side plate 3, and a filter screen 7 is installed between two adjacent mounting plates 202.

When the central lamp 5 and the searchlight 12 need to be inspected or maintained, the height of the lamp can be lowered through the telescopic structure 2 to facilitate the user to inspect or maintain the central lamp 5 and the searchlight. The filter screen 7 can reduce the dust falling from the top from entering the interior of the two side plates 3. The multiple telescopic structures 2 operate synchronously with each other and are separately arranged. When one telescopic structure 2 loses the function of active telescoping, the other telescopic structures 2 can continue to operate, thereby increasing the damage resistance of the device.

The upper end of the first bevel gear 1501 is meshed and connected with the second bevel gear 1502. The upper end of the second bevel gear 1502 is equipped with a connecting shaft 1503. The upper end of the connecting shaft 1503 is equipped with a third driving device 1504. The third driving device 1504 is located inside the moving block 14. The connecting shaft 1503 is driven to rotate by the third driving device 1504, and the connecting shaft 1503 drives the second bevel gear 1502 to rotate. The second bevel gear 1502 drives the first bevel gear 1501 to rotate, thereby driving the searchlight 12 to move at a horizontal angle. When the longitudinal position of the searchlight 12 needs to be changed, the moving block 14 needs to be driven by the first drive device 11 to move, thereby driving the searchlight 12 to change its longitudinal position. It should be noted that the first drive device 11, the second drive device 13 and the third drive device 1504 are all common servo motors on the market and are electrically connected to the sub-control platform. The first drive device 11 is used for the longitudinal position of the searchlight 12, the second drive device 13 is used to drive the lifting structure 4 to operate, and the third drive device 1504 is used to change the horizontal angle of the searchlight 12.

The exhibition hall can be covered with all-round independent lights by multiple searchlights 12, which are used to provide independent lights for specific personnel or specific exhibits. Specific personnel or specific exhibits need to carry special letters. The signal locator is used to locate the matching signal locator through the GPS signal detector, and the information is transmitted to the central control platform to detect the position of specific personnel or specific display items. The central control platform transmits the position information to the sub-control platform. The sub-control platform performs data analysis and controls the searchlight 12 closest to the signal locator to illuminate the specific personnel or specific display items, thereby completing the intelligent control of the exhibition hall light. Only specific staff are required to monitor the central control platform and the sub-control platform to complete the control of the lamps inside the exhibition hall, saving a lot of labor costs and with higher accuracy.
