[0028] The upper surface of the installation box 1 is provided with a swinging component for driving the lighting lamp 4 to swing for illumination; the whole device is installed above the radar on the top of the unmanned vehicle, and the rotating component drives the lighting lamp 4 to rotate, and then the swinging component drives the lighting lamp 4 to swing, so that the lighting lamp 4 illuminates different areas, thereby illuminating the route for people who are not in front of the unmanned vehicle.

[0029] Preferably, the rotating assembly also includes a rotating motor 2 and a rotating column 21. The rotating motor 2 is bolted to the bottom of the installation box 1. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 10 passes through the installation box 1 and is keyed to the output end of the rotating motor 2. The rotating column 21 is rotatably arranged inside the support column 11, and the mounting plate 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 21. The rotating motor 2 is started to drive the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 10 drives the rotating column 21 to rotate. The rotating column 21 then drives the mounting plate 14 to rotate, and then drives the lighting lamp 4 to rotate through the connecting column 5 to illuminate people in different areas.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the swing assembly includes a mounting column 6, a limiting ring 9, a connecting rod 17, a limiting column 20 and a driving module. The mounting column 6 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the connecting block 7. The limiting ring 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting column 6 through the connecting rod 17. There are two groups of limiting columns 20. The two groups of limiting columns 20 are fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the mounting column 6. The mounting column 6 is limited by the connecting block 7 to ensure that the mounting column 6 can only move up and down along the connecting block 7. The limiting ring 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting column 6 through the connecting rod 17, so that when the mounting column 6 moves up and down, the limiting ring 9 is driven to move up and down through the connecting rod 17.

[0031] Furthermore, the driving module includes a swing motor 3, a swing shaft 8, an extension column 12, a clamping ball 13, an extension rod 15 and a traction column 16.

[0033] Specifically, the extension column 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 21 away from the mounting plate 14, and the locking ball 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the extension column 12, and the locking ball 13 is located on the inner side of the limiting ring 9. When the rotating shaft 10 drives the support column 11 to rotate, it will drive the extension column 12 and the mounting plate 14 to rotate, and when the extension column 12 rotates, the locking ball 13 will rotate on the inner side of the limiting ring 9.

[0034] In addition, a rotating groove 19 corresponding to the clamping ball 13 is opened on the inner side of the limiting ring 9, and a limiting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating groove 19. When the rotating column 21 rotates with the rotating shaft 10 as the center, the clamping ball 13 will rotate inside the rotating groove 19, and the limiting plate 18 is provided to ensure that the rotating motor 2 can only drive the rotating shaft 10 to rotate 360 ​​degrees repeatedly, thereby avoiding the power cord of the lighting lamp 4 from getting entangled. At the same time, when the limiting ring 9 moves up and down, it will drive the clamping ball 13 to swing up and down, and then drive the lighting lamp 4 above the mounting plate 14 to swing through the rotating column 21, so that the lighting lamp 4 can illuminate areas at different heights.
