Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterproof lighting fixtures, and more specifically, to a waterproof spotlight. Background Technology
[0002] Spotlights are widely used in people's lives and can be used in various places for both indoor and outdoor lighting. When used outdoors, especially in places with high humidity, spotlights need to have good waterproof performance. For example, Chinese utility model application number 202223371326.4 proposes a waterproof spotlight. To ensure the overall waterproof performance of the spotlight, a sealing block seals the connection between the power cord and the spotlight body, preventing water from entering the interior. One end of the power cord passes through the sealing block and the first connecting rod to connect to an external power source, and the other end connects to the light source. However, a problem exists in practical use:
[0003] This type of waterproof structure for spotlights only addresses the waterproof performance of the spotlight body. However, in actual use, existing spotlights can achieve waterproofing by adding a sealing ring and a locking structure between the one-piece molded shell and the lampshade. When the spotlight body is connected to the electrical box via wiring, external moisture and water can easily enter the electrical box through the connection point, causing damage and short circuits to the internal electrical components. Therefore, for the actual use of spotlights, the waterproofing should focus on the wiring connection point between the spotlight body and the electrical box. Existing waterproof spotlights do not adequately meet this requirement.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a waterproof spotlight. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1-7 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment of the utility model, a waterproof spotlight includes a spotlight body 1 movably connected to the main body and a connecting frame 2 located above the main body 1. An electrical box structure 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 2. The electrical box structure 3 has a built-in dimmer and a protruding knob on its exterior for dimming. External connecting plates 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the electrical box structure 3. The electrical box structure 3 includes a matching electrical box body 5 and a waterproof electrical cover 9 at its bottom. A fixing screw 10 is embedded between the electrical box body 5 and the waterproof electrical cover 9. A limiting inner post 11 and a sealing strip 12 are fixedly connected to the interior and bottom edge of the electrical box body 5, respectively. A waterproof partition 7 and a waterproof seat 8 are fixedly embedded inside the electrical box body 5. A power supply 6 is embedded inside the waterproof base 8. An elastic layer 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the waterproof partition 7. A sealing cylinder 14 is inserted through the surface of the elastic layer 13. A dimmer 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of the waterproof electrical cover 9. A waterproof rubber ring 16 is fitted to the bottom end of the dimmer 15. The bottom end of the dimmer 15 and the waterproof rubber ring 16 are inserted through the surface of the waterproof electrical cover 9. The dimmer 15 includes a dimming control mechanism and an operation button. The two ends of the dimmer 15 are fixed to the inner surface of the waterproof electrical cover 9 by two sets of screws. At the same time, a circular opening is opened on the surface of the waterproof electrical cover 9 for the operation button to be inserted. The waterproof rubber ring 16 is inserted into the circular opening. A wire is provided on the top of the dimmer 15. The wire passes through the sealing cylinder 14 and is electrically connected to the power supply 6.
[0029] The limiting inner post 11 is arranged in a "W" shape and protrudes outward. Four sets are vertically arranged along the inner corner of the electrical box body 5. The sealing strip 12 is arranged in a rectangle along the bottom edge of the electrical box body 5 and protrudes outward. The corners of the sealing strip 12 are right-angled. The limiting inner post 11 achieves the effect of limiting and fixing the waterproof partition 7 in the electrical box body 5. The sealing strip 12 ensures the sealing effect between the electrical box body 5 and the waterproof electrical cover 9, thereby achieving the waterproof effect of the entire electrical box structure 3.
[0030] The vertically protruding limiting inner post 11 creates an arc-shaped transition at the corner of the electrical box body 5. When the waterproof partition 7 is embedded inside the electrical box body 5, it effectively limits and fixes the waterproof partition 7 inside the electrical box body 5 from the corner. After the electrical box body 5 and the waterproof electrical cover 9 are connected, the protruding sealing strip 12 contacts the waterproof electrical cover 9, forming a barrier seal between the waterproof electrical cover 9 and the electrical box body 5 to ensure waterproof sealing. The corner of the sealing strip 12 makes a right-angle transition, leaving space at the bottom corner of the electrical box body 5 so that the waterproof electrical cover 9 and the electrical box body 5 can be connected later by fixing screws 10.
[0031] The waterproof partition 7 is a rectangular rigid plastic partition with concave arc transitions at its corners, and an additional set of elastic rubber sheets (as shown in the attached image) is provided along the edge of the waterproof partition 7. Figure 7 As shown, the elastic layer 13, as a rubber interlayer, is set on one side of the waterproof partition 7 away from the waterproof seat 8. The sealing cylinder 14 is set as a rigid plastic cylinder. The waterproof partition 7 forms a waterproof interlayer inside the electrical box body 5, thereby enhancing the waterproof effect of the electrical box body 5. The arc-shaped concave end corner position facilitates the limiting and fixing inside the electrical box body 5. The sealing cylinder 14 achieves the effect of arranging the circuit. At the same time, when the circuit passes through the sealing cylinder 14, it can provide an auxiliary waterproof effect for the circuit. When external water enters the electrical box body 5, the elastic layer 13 enhances the pressure resistance of the waterproof partition 7 to water pressure changes, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance of the waterproof partition 7.
[0032] The waterproof seat 8 is located on the top side of the waterproof partition 7. It is a rectangular rubber seat with an open top. One side of the waterproof seat 8 has a wiring opening. When the waterproof partition 7 is fixed inside the electrical box body 5, the power supply 6 is located above the waterproof partition 7. The waterproof seat 8 forms a protective enclosure for the power supply 6, enhancing its waterproof sealing. The power supply 6's connection wires are routed through the wiring opening on one side of the waterproof seat 8. The dimming operation of the spotlight body 1 is achieved through the dimmer 15, and the waterproof rubber ring 16 ensures the waterproofness of the button in the dimmer 15.
[0033] When using this device, the outer waterproof electrical cover 9 and sealing strip 12 provide initial waterproofing. When external water enters the electrical box body 5, the waterproof partition 7 and waterproof seat 8 serve as a second protective structure for secondary waterproofing. The elastic layer 13 on the surface of the waterproof partition 7 can effectively buffer the water pressure generated by the leaking water source, ensuring the waterproof performance of the waterproof partition 7 and sealing cylinder 14. When adjusting the brightness, it is controlled by the button in the dimmer 15.
