[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0021] Please see Figure 1-12 This invention provides a technical solution: a street light fault monitoring device, comprising a light pole 1 fixedly connected to a cement base on the ground by expansion bolts, an interactive unit 3 on the light pole 1 (which can be a touch screen or an alarm button for easy contact with a monitoring camera 6 integrated with public security), an inclined main light head 41 at the top of the light pole 1, an LED light panel 411 on the inclined portion of the main light head 41, the main light head 41 and the LED light panel 411 being part of a lighting unit 4, and a monitoring camera 6 on the main light head 41 for monitoring the surrounding environment for easy integration with public security, and an auxiliary monitoring component 7, comprising a monitoring head 72 and a temperature probe 73 located at the highest point of the main light head 41, the highest point of the main light head 41 being an inclined surface, the monitoring head 72 being fixedly connected (the fixed connection can be a screw connection or a snap-fit ​​connection, etc., a detachable method) to the inclined surface, and an air collection channel 721 on the monitoring head 72. Figure 4As shown, the detection part of the temperature probe 73 is set inside the gas collection channel 721 to detect the temperature of the gas collection channel 721. A second diffuser plate 723 is set at the end of the gas collection channel 721 (the end is the lower end, and the detection part is set at the upper end). The second diffuser plate 723 can be illuminated by the light emitted when the LED light board 411 is powered on, thereby illuminating the second diffuser plate 723 by diffuse reflection. At this time, the brightness of the second diffuser plate 723 can be observed by the monitoring camera 6 to reflect whether the LED light board 411 is working properly. Furthermore, when the light intensity of the LED light board 411 changes, the brightness of the second diffuser plate 723 can also be observed to reflect the change. To determine whether the LED light panel is functioning properly, the observation method is direct and convenient. The end of the monitoring head 72 is symmetrically equipped with a guide plate 724. The guide plate 724 and the second diffuser plate 723 cooperate to form a concave frame (i.e., an air collection frame). When the LED light panel 411 is working, it will generate additional heat. The airflow containing heat rises along the concave frame and enters the air collection channel 721. The temperature probe 73 monitors the temperature change to assist the monitoring camera 6 in monitoring the working status of the LED light panel 411. The temperature monitored by the temperature probe 73 is easily affected by external temperature changes and can only be used in windless conditions. As an auxiliary tool, it cannot accurately detect the brightness of the LED light panel 411 and can only serve as an auxiliary reference.

[0022] Preferably, the monitoring camera 6 includes an internal rotating camera 61 rotatably connected to the main lamp head 41. The main lamp head 41 is provided with a protective cover 62 for protecting the internal rotating camera 61. The protective cover 62 is made of transparent material, such as glass or acrylic. The internal rotating camera 61 can be driven to rotate by an internal motor. When the internal rotating camera 61 needs to monitor the second diffuser plate 723, it is driven to rotate to its limit position (the maximum upward rotation position) to monitor the second diffuser plate 723, thus completing the monitoring of the LED light panel 411 on the main lamp head 41. Compared to directly monitoring the LED light panel 411 through the internal rotating camera 61, this method protects the internal rotating camera 61 and prevents damage to the optical components inside the internal rotating camera 61.

[0023] Preferably, the monitoring head 72 has an air outlet 7211 that communicates with the air collection channel 721. The air outlet 7211 is symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the monitoring head 72. The air outlet 7211 is a predetermined distance from the highest point of the air collection channel 721, which is 10mm to 16mm. The air outlet 7211 is connected to the highest point of the air collection channel 721, so that when the heat generated by the main lamp head 41 rises, it enters the air collection channel 721 along the concave frame and is discharged along the air outlet 7211.

[0024] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, such as Figure 9As shown, a secondary mounting groove 11 is provided at the highest point of the vertical part of the lamp post 1. A secondary lamp head 42 is provided on the secondary mounting groove 11. The secondary lamp head 42 is bent in the opposite direction to the main lamp head 41 to illuminate different ranges. A connecting bend 5 is provided between the secondary lamp head 42 and the main lamp head 41. The connecting bend 5 is used to fix the secondary lamp head 42 in conjunction with the secondary mounting groove 11. An LED light panel 411 is provided on the secondary lamp head 42 for lighting.

[0025] Preferably, the inner wall of the connecting bend 5 is a mirror layer. The connecting bend 5 is formed by bending a sheet material. The mirror layer can be electroplated or polished. After processing, the sheet material is bent to form the connecting bend 5. Both ends of the connecting bend 5 are provided with light guide ports 51. The monitoring head 72 is provided with a first diffuser plate 722. There are two first diffuser plates 722, which are symmetrically arranged along the second diffuser plate 723. The connecting bend 5 guides the light from the auxiliary lamp head 42 to the first diffuser plate 722. The internal rotating camera 61 then captures images of the first diffuser plate 722 and monitors the LED light panel 411 on the auxiliary lamp head 42. The light is continuously reflected inside the bent connecting bend 5 to transmit light.

[0026] Preferably, a fixing head 74 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary lamp holder 42 by bolts, such as Figure 10 As shown, a double-folding reflector 741 is fixedly connected to the fixed head 74 via a connecting plate. A second reflector 743 is provided on the fixed head 74. The second reflector 743 refracts the light from the double-folding reflector 741 to the light guide port 51. The double-folding reflector 741 reflects the light emitted from the auxiliary lamp head 42 to the second reflector 743, and the light is refracted by the second reflector 743 into the light guide port 51, thus completing the light transmission. A fixing plate 742 is symmetrically arranged on the fixed head 74 to fit against the inclined portion of the fixed head 74.

[0027] Preferably, a first screw 725 is threaded onto the monitoring head 72, and the first screw 725 abuts against the connecting bend 5 to fix the monitoring head 72 and the connecting bend 5 together. The other end of the connecting bend 5 is snapped into the fixing head 74 (this snapping is an interference fit to connect the fixing head 74 and the connecting bend 5 into one unit; the snapping can also be replaced by welding).

[0028] Preferably, an outer protective sleeve 71 can be fitted onto the monitoring head 72 and the fixing head 74 to prevent rainwater from entering, protect the monitoring head 72 and the fixing head 74, and reduce the interference of external airflow on the monitoring head 72.

[0029] During normal lighting, when sampling is required, the monitoring camera 6 is driven to rotate the inner rotating camera 61 to its extreme position to monitor the second diffuser 723 and the first diffuser 722. At this time, the second diffuser 723 can be illuminated by the light emitted when the LED light panel 411 is powered on, thereby illuminating the second diffuser 723 with diffused light to reflect the status of the LED light panel 411 on the main lamp head 41 and complete the monitoring. The light emitted by the LED light panel 411 on the auxiliary lamp head 42 is first reflected by the double-fold reflector 741 to the second reflector 743, and then refracted by the second reflector 743 to the light inlet 51. The light is refracted along the mirror layer of the connecting bend tube 5 to the first diffuser 722 and illuminated to reflect the status of the LED light panel 411 on the auxiliary lamp head 42 and complete the monitoring.

[0030] When the LED light panel 411 on the main lamp head 41 is lit, it generates additional heat. The airflow containing heat rises along the concave frame and enters the air collection channel 721. The temperature change is monitored by the temperature probe 73 to assist the monitoring camera 6 in monitoring. Example 2

[0031] Please see Figure 1-12 This invention provides a technical solution: an energy-saving street light, further comprising a sealing plate 23 slidably connected within a light pole 1. The sealing plate 23 has threaded holes, and the light pole 1 has through holes corresponding to the threaded holes. A second screw 232 is inserted along the through holes and fixed in the threaded holes of the sealing plate 23 to secure it. After fixing, the horizontal plate 231 of the sealing plate 23 fits against the bottom of the auxiliary lamp head 42, and an auxiliary connecting bend 5 is used to fix the auxiliary lamp head 42. The sealing plate 23 has two sets of threaded holes. When the auxiliary lamp head 42 is not installed, the sliding sealing plate 23 covers the auxiliary mounting groove 11 for shielding.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, a display component 2 is further included, which includes a fixing frame 21. A display screen 22 is fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing frame 21 by screws. The fixing frame 21 has bent angles at both ends, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a display mounting slot 12 is provided on the lamp post 1. The two bent corners of the fixing bracket 21 are respectively engaged with the two ends of the display mounting slot 12. When the sealing plate 23 is fixed by screws, the sealing plate 23 fits against the fixing bracket 21 and is locked for fixation.

[0033] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
