Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of automatic control, and in particular relates to an intelligent trench lighting system for locomotive maintenance. Background Art

[0002] To inspect the underside of a locomotive, a maintenance trench is typically set up at the maintenance station. Tracks are installed on either side of the trench above the locomotive, and maintenance personnel perform operations in the trench while the locomotive is parked on the tracks. Because the light in the trench is very dim, lighting equipment is necessary. However, due to the lack of automatic control components and human oversight, this lighting often remains "brightly on"—that is, the lighting remains on regardless of whether anyone is working in the trench, and even when there are no locomotives parked on the tracks. This situation not only significantly shortens the lighting equipment's service life but also results in significant energy waste. Utility Model Content
