[0012] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the description of the embodiments is not a limitation on the technical solution. Any formal but not substantive changes made based on the concept of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0013] In the following description, all directional (or orientational) concepts involving up, down, left, right, front, and back refer to the position of the figure being described, and are intended to facilitate public understanding. Therefore, they should not be construed as a special limitation on the technical solution provided by this invention.

[0014] This invention relates to an adjustable linkage structure for searchlights, which increases the adjustability of the linkage structure based on the original linkage structure, and realizes multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the lamp body through mechanical linkage, making it suitable for lighting devices in rescue, industrial inspection, search and rescue and other scenarios.

[0015] See Figure 1This invention relates to an adjustable linkage structure for a searchlight. The searchlight includes a lamp body and a pan-tilt unit supporting the lamp body. The adjustable linkage structure includes a straight connecting rod 1, a central support rod 2, and side support plates 3. One end of the central support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lamp body, and the other end is sleeved on the middle of the straight connecting rod 1. There is a pair of side support plates 3, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pan-tilt unit. Each side support plate 3 includes a front side plate 31 and a rear side plate 32. The rear ends of the pair of rear side plates 32 are respectively hinged to the two ends of the straight connecting rod 1. The straight connecting rod 1 also has side plate end caps 11 at both ends to limit the movement of the rear side plates 32. The front ends of a pair of rear side plates 32 are located inside the rear ends of a pair of front side plates 31. The front side plates 31 have multiple front adjustable holes 312 spaced apart along their length at their rear ends. The rear side plates 32 have rear adjustable holes 321 at their front ends corresponding to the front adjustable holes 312. The front adjustable holes 312 are through holes, and the rear adjustable holes 321 are threaded holes. Screws pass through the front adjustable holes 312 and are screwed into the rear adjustable holes 321, thus fixing the front side plates 31 and rear side plates 32 together. To ensure the reliability of the connection and the support of the side support plate 3, in this embodiment, the number of front adjustable holes 312 and rear adjustable holes 321 are the same, arranged in two rows and five columns. By connecting different columns of front adjustable holes 312 and rear adjustable holes 321, the side support plate 3 can have different lengths, thereby increasing or decreasing the range of vertical rotation angle of the lamp body. The side support plate 3 adopts the above-mentioned detachable adjustment structure, which allows for convenient adjustment of the vertical rotation angle range of the lamp body on site, thereby increasing versatility and adapting to various searchlights; it also avoids the need for repeated disassembly and adjustment during installation and debugging to meet the angle range requirements.

[0016] Furthermore, the front side plate 31 has an annular hole 311 at its front end, through which a side plate fixing shaft 4 for rotatable connection with the gimbal side wall is installed. Preferably, there are four annular holes 311, arranged in a square pattern. The side plate fixing shaft 4 has a fixing seat 41, and the fixing seat 41 has a threaded fixing hole 411 corresponding to the annular hole 311. Screws pass through the annular hole 311 and are screwed into the threaded fixing hole 411 to fix the side plate fixing shaft 4 to the front side plate 31. The design of the annular hole 311 increases the arc distance between the connecting hole of the front side plate 31 and the side plate fixing shaft 4, facilitating the connection between the front side plate 31 and the side plate fixing shaft 4. This allows for fine adjustment of the upper and lower support points of the front side plate 31 during installation and debugging, thereby enabling fine adjustment of the vertical rotation range of the lamp body.

[0017] This invention offers high adjustability, making the searchlight linkage structure versatile and applicable to various searchlights. The design boasts high utilization and low processing costs, thus achieving the invention's objective.
