Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of outdoor lighting equipment technology, specifically a modular multifunctional outdoor lighting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most outdoor lighting fixtures on the market, such as LED floodlights, laser lights, LED spotlights, and landscape projection lights, adopt an integrated, fixed-function design. Each type of fixture with a specific function requires independent development of its own dedicated housing mold, optical structure, heat dissipation system, and electrical layout. This leads to the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] High mold development costs: Enterprises need to invest a lot of money in mold design, processing and debugging for each new product, and the economic burden of product iteration and serialization is heavy.

[0004] Low production efficiency: The integrated design forces the production process to revolve around the whole machine, making it impossible to separate core components such as the light source module, driver power supply, and housing for specialized and large-scale parallel production. The production line has poor flexibility and slow order response speed.

[0005] Maintenance and upgrades are difficult: When a lighting fixture malfunctions (especially the photoelectric component), the entire fixture usually needs to be disassembled from its installation location and returned to the factory for repair. This process is cumbersome, has high transportation costs, and results in the fixture being out of use for an extended period. In addition, the functions of existing lighting fixtures are limited at the factory, making it difficult for users to upgrade or change the lighting effects (such as changing from floodlighting to projection) at low cost according to changes in the scene.

[0006] Low level of intelligent integration: Traditional lighting fixtures have a compact structure and limited internal space, making it difficult to easily install Internet of Things (IoT) communication modules (such as Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G, Zigbee, etc.), which limits the realization of intelligent functions such as remote cluster control, status monitoring, fault diagnosis and energy management of lighting fixtures.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new outdoor lighting fixture design solution to address the comprehensive issues of mold cost, production efficiency, ease of maintenance, and intelligent scalability. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular, multifunctional outdoor lighting fixture to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0010] A modular multifunctional outdoor lighting fixture includes: a detachable housing, consisting of a bottom shell and a hinged cover, wherein the bottom shell has a standardized receiving cavity with a unified mechanical positioning interface and an electrical connection interface; a photoelectric module, which is an independent functional module with an integrated heat sink, and can be plugged into the receiving cavity; and a support and adjustment mechanism for mounting the lighting fixture on a support surface and adjusting the illumination angle, including a base, a support frame, and an angle adjustment component, wherein the angle adjustment component includes an angle gear driven by a stepper motor, and the bottom shell has a gear slot that meshes with the angle gear.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the optoelectronic module includes at least one of an LED floodlight module, a laser light module, an LED floodlight module, an LED starlight module, a projection color optoelectronic module, or an LED outdoor beam light module.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: an IoT communication module mounting position is reserved inside the bottom shell, and the IoT communication module is electrically connected to the optoelectronic module through internal circuitry.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the lid is provided with a light-transmitting window, and the lid is detachably connected to the bottom shell by a latch.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: the receiving cavity is provided with slots corresponding to the heat sink fins, and the heat sink is inserted into close contact with the inner wall of the bottom shell.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: the angle adjustment assembly further includes a gearbox and a scale positioning plate, and the stepper motor drives the angle gear to rotate through the gearbox.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention, the support adjustment mechanism further includes a power supply and control module, used to control the stepper motor to execute angle adjustment commands and to supply power to the lamp.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention, the lamp also includes a light sensor or a motion sensor, which receives instructions through an Internet of Things (IoT) communication module to achieve adaptive lighting control.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. Significantly reduces R&D and mold costs; only one set of standardized housing molds and a series of optoelectronic module molds need to be developed, and new product development only requires the design of new modules.

[0020] 2. Significantly improves production efficiency and supply chain flexibility: Enables specialized parallel production of components and agile assembly to order;

[0021] 3. Revolutionary simplified installation and maintenance process, supporting quick on-site replacement of photoelectric modules to switch functions. When repairing a fault, there is no need to disassemble the entire lamp. Just open the box cover to replace the module, which can be completed by one person in a few minutes.

[0022] 4. Powerful intelligence and future expansion capabilities: Standardized IoT module slots facilitate intelligent upgrades, protect user investment, and make it easy to connect to smart management systems.

[0023] 5. Excellent heat dissipation and reliability: The modular heat sink design integrates the heat source and heat dissipation path, and achieves efficient heat dissipation through large-area contact with the bottom shell, improving the lifespan and stability of light sources such as LEDs.

[0024] 6. Precise electric angle adjustment: Through the direct meshing transmission between the gear slot 11 on the bottom shell and the stepper motor drive mechanism, the illumination angle can be remotely, automatically, and with high precision, expanding the application scenarios and control dimensions of the lamp.

[0035] The technical solution of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0036] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a modular multifunctional outdoor lighting fixture is provided. The fixture consists of a support and adjustment mechanism, a detachable housing, and a photoelectric module 7 with an integrated heat sink 18. The detachable housing includes a bottom shell 2 and a cover 3. The bottom shell 2 serves as the main load-bearing structure, and its inner surface forms a standardized "accommodating cavity." The geometric dimensions, mechanical positioning interfaces, and electrical connection interfaces of this accommodating cavity are uniform for all photoelectric modules 7. One or more connecting seats 10 are fixed to one end of the bottom shell 2 by bolts. The connecting seats 10 are hinged to the cover 3 via a rotating shaft 9, allowing the cover 3 to rotate and open around this shaft. Several positioning posts 8 are symmetrically arranged on the shell wall of the bottom shell 2 to provide auxiliary alignment and locking support when the cover 3 is closed. In addition, gear slots 11 are provided on the side wall of the bottom shell 2 for precise meshing with the angle gears 16 of the support and adjustment mechanism to achieve linkage. The other end of the lid 3 (the side opposite to the rotating shaft 9) is detachably locked to the bottom shell 2 by one or more latches 5. When the latches 5 are released, the lid 3 can be rotated open around the rotating shaft 9, thereby fully exposing the receiving cavity. When closed, the edge of the lid 3 engages with the positioning post 8 of the bottom shell 2, and the latches 5 provide sufficient locking force to ensure a tight seal between the lid 3 and the bottom shell 2, thus sealing the receiving cavity. The lid 3 is provided with a light-transmitting window 4, the material and optical properties of which can be selected as needed.

[0038] The bottom shell 2 has a specially reserved mounting position for a standardized Internet of Things (IoT) communication module. This mounting position is typically designed as a slot, socket, or dedicated cavity, located within the power supply and control compartment. The IoT communication module (e.g., Wi-Fi module, 4G / 5G module, Bluetooth module, or LoRa module) can be plugged into or fixed to this mounting position and establishes an electrical connection with the optoelectronic module 7 within the housing cavity via pre-set internal cables or circuit board traces. Through this connection architecture, the IoT communication module, acting as a remote data transceiver terminal, can transmit commands (such as switching, dimming, color adjustment, scene switching, etc.) from the cloud platform or mobile control terminal to the control circuit of the optoelectronic module 7 for execution. Simultaneously, it can also collect and transmit the operating status parameters of the optoelectronic module 7 (such as voltage, current, temperature, light output intensity, fault codes, etc.) to the remote management platform in real time, thereby realizing remote real-time control of the optoelectronic module and full-cycle monitoring of its operating status, providing a hardware foundation for predictive maintenance, energy efficiency management, and intelligent scene linkage.

[0039] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The photoelectric module 7 is the core unit containing complete lighting functions. LED light sources or other photoelectric modules are directly mounted on a separate, high-performance heat sink 18, forming an integrated photoelectric heat dissipation module. This heat sink 18 not only dissipates heat but also serves as the mechanical body of the module, equipped with standard mounting rails, positioning holes, and electrical connectors. The photoelectric module 7 of the integrated heat sink 18 is designed as a whole to be plugged into the receiving cavity of the bottom shell 2 in a specific direction. The surface of the heat sink 18 is in close contact with the inner wall of the receiving cavity or the built-in heat-conducting structure, efficiently conducting heat to the entire bottom shell 2 for dissipation. The photoelectric module can be selected from any one or more of the following: LED floodlight module, laser light module 12, LED floodlight module, LED starlight module, projection color photoelectric module 13, or LED outdoor beam light module. By replacing different photoelectric modules, the lamp can achieve the corresponding lighting function.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 9The support adjustment mechanism is used to install the lamp onto the support surface and achieve automatic adjustment of the illumination angle. It includes: a base 14 for fixing to the mounting base; a support frame 1, which is locked to the base 14 by a chassis lock 6; and an angle adjustment assembly, including a gearbox driven by a stepper motor. The output end of the gearbox is connected to an angle gear 16, which directly meshes with a gear slot 11 set on the shell wall of the bottom shell 2. By controlling the rotation of the stepper motor, the gearbox reduces speed and increases torque, driving the angle gear 16 to rotate. In conjunction with the scale positioning plate 17 set on the outside of the angle gear 16, the entire bottom shell 2 (including the internal photoelectric module 7) is precisely driven to rotate around the hinge axis between the bottom shell 2 and the support frame 1, so as to achieve high-precision and automatic adjustment of the illumination angle. The adjustment mechanism is independent of the opening and closing structure of the housing.

[0041] In addition, a power supply and control module 15 is installed between the base 14 and the support frame 1. The power supply and control module 15 is responsible for controlling the stepper motor and executing angle adjustment commands.

[0042] The radiator 18 is made of extruded or die-cast aluminum alloy and has dense fins. The bottom shell 2 is provided with slots corresponding to the fins to ensure stable heat dissipation after the radiator 18 is inserted. The bottom shell 2 itself can be made of heat-dissipating alloy and designed with auxiliary heat dissipation fins.

[0043] The gear slot 11 can be designed as an arc-shaped rack, forming a fan-shaped meshing area with the angle gear 16 to limit the adjustment angle range.

[0044] This lighting fixture can also integrate light sensors and motion sensors, and receive cloud commands or local logic through an IoT module to automatically adjust the switch, brightness, color and illumination angle of the fixture, thereby achieving adaptive lighting.

[0045] Operating principle

[0046] Initial installation: Secure the device using the base 14. Insert the photoelectric module 7 into the receiving cavity of the bottom shell 2, close and lock the cover 3. Engage the gear slot 11 on the bottom shell 2 with the angle gear 16 on the support frame 1 to complete the installation of the lamp body.

[0047] Routine operation: The lights are connected to the management platform via a built-in 4G IoT module. They are turned off during the day and automatically turn on at night in road lighting mode.

[0048] Mode switching: Management personnel issue instructions via the platform to switch to holiday mode during specific nighttime periods. On-site maintenance personnel only need to open the cover 3 of the target light fixture, remove the road lighting module, insert the preset landscape projection color module, and lock the cover 3. No modifications to the wiring or the main body of the light fixture are required.

[0049] Angle Adjustment: In summer, lush trees can obstruct some light sources. Administrators can select the corresponding light fixture via the platform and send a command to "adjust the elevation angle by 15 degrees." The command is transmitted to the main control board via the IoT module. The main control board then controls a stepper motor to rotate a specific number of steps, driving the base of the light fixture (2) to rotate precisely upwards by 15 degrees, allowing the light to bypass the obstruction and restoring the illumination effect.

[0050] Fault Maintenance: A lighting fixture reported a light source malfunction. After locating the fault, the platform dispatched maintenance personnel with the same model of photoelectric module 7. They opened the cover 3, removed the faulty module, inserted the new module, and locked it. Upon receiving the module replacement completion signal, the platform reset the lighting fixture's operating status. The entire process required no power outages and no disassembly of the lighting fixture, making it highly efficient and convenient.

[0051] This modular, multi-functional outdoor lighting fixture significantly reduces R&D and mold costs, requiring only the development of a standardized housing mold and a series of photoelectric module molds. New product development only requires designing new modules. It greatly improves production efficiency and supply chain flexibility: enabling specialized parallel production of components and agile assembly to order; revolutionaryly simplifying installation and maintenance processes, supporting rapid on-site replacement of photoelectric modules for functional conversion; and eliminating the need to disassemble the entire fixture during fault repairs—simply opening the cover 3 to replace the module, a process that can be completed by a single person within minutes. It boasts powerful intelligence and future expansion capabilities, with standardized IoT module slots facilitating intelligent upgrades, protecting user investment, and enabling easy integration into smart management systems. Excellent heat dissipation and reliability are achieved through a modular heat sink design that integrates the heat source and heat dissipation path, achieving efficient heat dissipation through large-area contact with the bottom shell, thus improving the lifespan and stability of LED and other light sources. Precise electric angle adjustment is achieved through direct meshing of the gear slot 11 on the bottom shell with the stepper motor drive mechanism, enabling remote, automatic, and high-precision adjustment of the illumination angle, expanding the application scenarios and control dimensions of the lighting fixture.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. These will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent.
