A number of gear blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the interior of the housing 1, and the gear rings 304 are meshed with the gear blocks 7;

[0035] The rotation angle of the lamp body 4 is limited by the gear block 7 and the upper and lower rotation angles of the lamp body 4 do not exceed 30°;

[0036] The display mechanism 6 is internally electrically connected to a processor, the processor is electrically connected to the vehicle reading module 5, the verification module, the vehicle detector and the timer, the processor is electrically connected to the motor 201, and the lamp body 4 is electrically connected to the processor;

[0037] The processor enables the electrical signals of the vehicle reading module 5, the verification module, the vehicle detector and the timer to be processed and the data processed by the processor to be displayed through the display mechanism 6;

[0038] The outer side of the rotating block 301 is rotatably connected to the lifting block 203. The interior of the housing 1 is provided with a lifting slot 8. The lifting block 203 is a rectangular parallelepiped and fits into the lifting slot 8 inside the housing 1. The right side of the load-bearing column 302 is fixedly connected to the lamp body 4.

[0039] The height of the lamp body 4 can be adjusted by the load-bearing column 302, and the lifting block 203 can be rotated during the lifting process by the rotating block 301. The lifting slot 8 can limit the lifting block 203, thereby making the lifting of the lifting block 203 more stable.

[0040] A wire groove 9 is provided inside the housing 1 , and the size of the wire groove 9 matches the diameter of the cable of the motor 201 ;

[0041] The cable of the motor 201 can be placed inside the housing 1 through the cable groove 9, thereby protecting the cable of the motor 201;

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] The first step: the vehicle reading module 5 scans the license plate. When the vehicle reading module 5 recognizes the license plate, the vehicle reading module 5 transmits an electrical signal to the processor. After processing, the processor transmits the electrical signal to the motor 201 and starts the motor 201, so that the output end of the motor 201 drives the threaded rod 202 to rotate. The threaded rod 202 rotates and drives the lifting block 203 to move up and down, and then the lifting block 203 drives the bearing column 302 to move through the rotating block 301. When the bearing column 302 is lifted or lowered, the outer gear ring 304 engages with the gear block 7, so that the bearing column 302 rotates through the rotating block 302, so that the lamp body 4 can rotate and adjust the illumination angle while adjusting the height, so that it can better fill in the light of the license plate;

[0050] Step 2: When the lamp body 4 illuminates the license plate, the vehicle reading module 5 reads it and sends an electrical signal to the processor, which then processes it and displays it through the display mechanism 6 and starts timing through the timer.
