Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel lighting, and in particular to a solar tunnel lamp. Background Art

[0002] The lighting system of a highway tunnel is an important infrastructure to ensure traffic safety and smooth flow. Its design and implementation directly affect the driver's driving safety and psychological comfort. In the process of entering and exiting the tunnel, due to sudden changes in light conditions, drivers often experience "black hole" and "white hole" phenomena when entering and exiting the tunnel. This phenomenon stems from the rapid change in brightness difference inside and outside the tunnel, which will cause the driver to have visual adaptation problems in a short period of time and may even cause traffic accidents.

[0003] In order to effectively eliminate the "black hole" and "white hole" phenomena, tunnel lighting systems usually consist of two parts: basic lighting and enhanced lighting. Basic lighting is mainly responsible for maintaining the minimum lighting requirements inside the tunnel, while enhanced lighting helps drivers adapt to changes in light outside and inside the tunnel through appropriate lighting arrangements when they are about to enter or exit the tunnel. The opening and closing of enhanced lighting is often automatically adjusted through sensors and light control systems to adapt to changes in ambient light and ensure that it can be coordinated with the intensity of external sunlight during the day.

[0004] According to the driving direction and the entrance and exit of the tunnel, it can be divided into the entrance section, transition section, middle section and exit section, among which the entrance section, transition section and exit section all need to be equipped with enhanced lighting; however, the enhanced lighting part of the tunnel lighting system is extremely sensitive to changes in the external environment and is affected by many factors; once the external environment light changes or the lighting equipment fails, especially the failure of the enhanced lighting lamps, its brightness will not be consistent with the external sunlight intensity. This imbalance of light may cause the driver to experience a temporary blindness again when entering and exiting the tunnel, further increasing the driving risk.

[0005] Therefore, a solar tunnel lamp is proposed to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are only for the purpose of enabling the reader to have a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the invention, and these aspects of the present invention can be realized even without these specific details.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides a solar tunnel light, and the technical solution is as follows:

[0025] The device comprises a placement box 1, wherein the placement box 1 is provided with an inclined surface 2, and an irradiation groove 3 is opened on the inclined surface 2, and a glass is arranged on the irradiation groove 3. A support seat 4 is arranged at the center of the placement box 1, and a driving component is arranged on the top of the support seat 4, and a switching component is arranged on the driving component, and two irradiation lamps 5 are arranged on the switching component. A detection unit 6 is arranged on the side of the placement box 1 close to the inclined surface 2, and the detection unit 6 cooperates with the driving component.

[0026] Fresnel lenses are used as concentrators outside the tunnel to concentrate solar cells, which greatly improves the utilization rate of solar energy and reduces costs. Through the intelligent control circuit of the solar cell, intelligent dimming of the LED lights is achieved to meet the requirements of enhanced lighting adaptability in the tunnel.

[0027] The detection unit 6 is a light intensity sensor, and a detection unit 6 is also provided outside the tunnel. The two detection units 6 are coordinated and compared. When the detection unit 6 in the placement box 1 detects that the light intensity of the current lamp 5 is much smaller than the output measurement value of the external detection unit 6, the current lamp 5 fails, and an electrical signal is given to the driving component. The driving component starts to drive the switching component to switch the spare lamp 5 to the inclined surface 2. At the same time, a signal is given to the main control unit in the background to remind that this lamp 5 fails and needs to be dealt with in time; to avoid the failure of multiple lamps 5 causing the enhanced lighting intensity of the entire section to be much lower than the normal value, to prevent the driver from being temporarily blinded, and to improve safety.

[0028] The driving assembly includes a rotating motor 7 arranged on the top of the support seat 4, a rotating rod 8 is provided on the rotating motor 7, and a placing table 9 is provided on the top of the rotating rod 8, a connecting table 10 is provided on the top of the placing table 9, and the placing table 9 and the connecting table 10 are coaxially arranged, and the connecting table 10 is connected to the switching assembly.

[0029] The detection unit 6 gives an electrical signal to the rotating motor 7, and the rotating motor 7 starts to drive the placement table 9 to rotate through the rotating rod 8, and at the same time drives the connecting table 10 to rotate 180°, and cooperates with the switching component to switch the two irradiation lamps 5. The whole process lasts no more than 1 minute, avoiding the "black hole" or "white hole" phenomenon caused by the failure of the irradiation lamp 5 to the driver, thereby improving driving safety.

[0030] The switching component includes two connecting plates 11 symmetrically arranged on the connecting platform 10, each of the connecting plates 11 is connected to an extension plate 13 through a spring hinge 12, each of the spring hinges 12 is a one-way spring hinge 12, two inclined slots 25 are symmetrically provided on the placement platform 9, and the end of each extension plate 13 is connected to a lighting lamp 5. An inclined support rod 14 is provided on the side of the placement box 1 close to the inclined surface 2, and the inclination angle of the support rod 14 is consistent with the inclined surface 2. An inclined platform 15 is provided on the top of the support rod 14, and a connecting component that cooperates with each other is provided on the bottom of each lighting lamp 5 and the inclined platform 15.

[0031] The one-way spring hinge 12 can limit the hinge rotation direction of the extension plate 13, and it can only be rotated upward. However, due to the size of the spring hinge 12, its rotation angle reaches about 210°, that is, it can be rotated downward by about 30° in the horizontal state. When the irradiation lamp 5 is moved to the top of the inclined platform 15 by the driving assembly, under the action of gravity and the connecting assembly, the irradiation lamp 5 rotates and tilts downward until it fits with the inclined platform 15, thereby completing the switching of the irradiation lamp 5. At this time, the inclination angle of the irradiation lamp 5 is consistent with the inclined surface 2, so that the light emitted by the irradiation lamp 5 can be vertically outward, and the scattering and refraction are minimized to ensure the light intensity of a single irradiation lamp 5.

[0032] When the extension plate 13 rotates downward, it will contact the placement table 9, that is, the placement table 9 presses against the extension plate 13, acting as a fulcrum, and an inclined groove 25 is provided, and the inclination angle of the inclined groove 25 is consistent with the maximum downward inclination angle of the extension plate 13, so that the extension plate 13 can fit the inclined groove 25 as much as possible, avoiding that the extension plate 13 is completely supported by the spring hinge 12, preventing the spring from being strained due to long-term downward bending, and improving the service life of the spring hinge 12, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire device.

[0033] The connecting assembly includes a plug head 16 arranged on an inclined platform 15, a permanent magnetic ring 17 is provided on the outside of the plug head 16, a plug slot 18 is provided at the bottom of each of the irradiation lamps 5, and a permanent magnetic ring 2 19 is provided outside each plug slot 18, and the permanent magnetic ring 17 and the permanent magnetic ring 2 19 cooperate with each other.

[0034] The power source of the irradiation lamp 5 is divided into a plug head 16 and a plug slot 18. When the irradiation lamp 5 moves to the top of the inclined platform 15, the extension plate 13 is bent downward by a certain angle due to the influence of gravity, and then attracted by the magnetic force of the permanent magnetic ring 17, the permanent magnetic ring 19 gradually approaches the permanent magnetic ring 17 until they fit together. At this time, the plug head 16 is inserted into the corresponding plug slot 18, and then the power is passed into the irradiation lamp 5, and the irradiation lamp 5 is started to perform lighting operations; through the cooperation of the plug head 16 and the plug slot 18, the circuit setting inside the placement box 1 is reduced, and the extension plate 13 is avoided from being restricted by the wires when the driving component drives the rotation, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the switching of the two irradiation lamps 5.

[0035] A cavity is provided at the bottom of the placing table 9, and a gear ring 20 is provided inside. A gear 21 is provided on the top of the rotating rod 8, and the gear 21 meshes with the gear ring 20, and the gear 21 is plugged into the gear ring 20; that is, the placing table 9 and the rotating rod 8 are of separate design. When the irradiation lamp 5 fails, the maintenance personnel do not need to disassemble the entire device. They only need to simply separate the placing table 9 from the rotating rod 8 to easily repair or replace the irradiation lamp 5; at the same time, it avoids the safety hazards caused by disassembling complex equipment, greatly shortens the maintenance time, and improves work efficiency and safety; the separate design makes the function of each component clearer and reduces the mutual interference between the components, which can effectively reduce the overall failure rate of the device and improve the long-term stability and reliability of the device.

[0036] A transverse plate 22 is provided on the inner wall of the placement box 1 away from the inclined surface 2, and a boss 23 is provided on the transverse plate 22, and a permanent magnet ring three 24 is provided on the top of the boss 23, and inclined chamfers 26 are provided on the left and right sides of the boss 23; since the irradiation lamp 5 is arranged at the end of the extension plate 13, under the influence of gravity, the extension plate 13 will rotate and bend downward to a certain extent. After switching, when it moves to the boss 23, the inclined chamfers 26 on both sides of the boss 23 play a guiding role, and the irradiation lamp 5 moves upward along the edge of the boss 23 until the permanent magnet ring 17 and the permanent magnet ring three 24 are fitted together. The transverse plate 22 and the boss 23 play a supporting role, avoiding the spare irradiation lamp 5 from being in an unsupported state for a long time, preventing the spring hinge 12 from being strained, and improving the stability of the entire device.

[0037] Working process: the detection unit 6 inside the placement box 1 detects the current irradiation lamp 5 and compares it with the detection unit 6 outside the tunnel. When the detected light intensity is much lower than the value of the external detection unit 6, that is, the current irradiation lamp 5 fails, an electrical signal is given to the rotating motor 7, and the rotating motor 7 starts to drive the placement table 9 to rotate through the rotating rod 8, and at the same time drives the connecting table 10 to rotate 180 degrees, and moves the spare irradiation lamp 5 to the top of the inclined table 15. Under the action of gravity and the magnetic attraction of the permanent magnet ring 17, the plug head on the inclined table 15 is 16 is inserted into the power slot 18 of the current irradiation lamp 5, the irradiation lamp 5 is powered on for lighting operation, and at the same time, the permanent magnetic ring 1 17 and the permanent magnetic ring 2 19 are magnetically attached to stabilize the current irradiation lamp 5, and the current irradiation lamp 5 is in an inclined state, and the inclination angle is consistent with the inclined surface 2; then the irradiation lamp 5 that has failed rotates and moves to the rear and contacts the boss 23, and the permanent magnetic ring 3 24 on the boss 23 is magnetically attached to the permanent magnetic ring 1 17 under this irradiation lamp 5 to stabilize it and avoid shaking and affecting the normal operation of other components.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
