[0027] The "first" and "second" in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are only used to distinguish names.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an outdoor lamp protection structure in one embodiment of the present invention includes a protection box 1 and a rain shield structure 2, and an outdoor lamp is placed in the protection box 1; the rain shield structure 2 is fixedly connected to the protection box 1, and the rain shield structure 2 includes a rain cover 21, a telescopic structure 22 and a rain collecting trough 23, the rain cover 21 is arranged above the protection box 1, and the rain collecting trough 23 is arranged below the protection box 1, and a foam board 24 is arranged in the rain collecting trough 23, the telescopic structure 22 is fixedly connected to the foam board 24, the rain cover 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic structure 22 away from the foam board 24, and a drainage hole 231 is provided at the bottom of the rain collecting trough 23. A protective box 1 is provided to protect outdoor lighting fixtures. A rain shield structure 2 is provided, which includes a rain cover 21, a telescopic structure 22, a rain collecting trough 23, and a foam board 24. The rain cover 21 is directly provided above the protective box 1, serving as the first line of defense, effectively shielding most of the rainwater that directly falls on the protective box 1. The telescopic structure 22 is adjusted to a certain extent by the cooperation of the rain collecting trough 23 and the foam board 24 according to the intensity of the rain. This can provide sufficient protection during heavy rainfall, reduce unnecessary obstruction during light rain or sunny days, and maintain the lighting effect and heat dissipation performance of the lamp. In this embodiment, the protective box 1 is made of a light-transmitting transparent material, such as transparent plastic or glass.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the telescopic structure 22 includes a sliding plate 221, a first connecting rod 222 and a second connecting rod 223, the sliding plate 221 is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 222, the end of the first connecting rod 222 away from the sliding plate 221 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 223, and the end of the second connecting rod 223 away from the first connecting rod 222 is fixedly connected to the foam board 24. In this embodiment, sliding plates 221 are rotatably connected to the bottom of each side of the rain shield 21. When rainfall is heavy, the amount of water discharged is less than the amount of water stored in the rain trough 23. The water level in the rain trough 23 rises, and the foam plate 24 rises with the liquid level, driving the second connecting rod 223 upward, thereby causing the first connecting rod 222 to move downward, causing the sliding plates 221 to expand and increase the rain shield area. When rainfall decreases, the amount of water discharged is greater than the amount of water stored in the rain trough 23. The liquid level in the rain trough 23 drops, and the foam plate 24 decreases with the liquid level, driving the second connecting rod 223 downward, thereby causing the first connecting rod 222 to move upward, causing the sliding plates 221 to contract and reduce the rain shield area. Automatically adjusting the rain shield area based on the water level in the rain trough 23 not only ensures effective rain protection in inclement weather, but also significantly improves rain protection efficiency by reducing unnecessary obstruction when the weather improves, ensuring the lighting effect of the lamp.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: an arcuate groove 224 is provided at one end of the sliding plate 221 away from the rain shield 21, and a plurality of water outlets are provided on the arcuate groove 224. The opening of the arcuate groove 224 is arranged in a direction away from the rain collecting trough 23, and is used to receive a portion of rainwater that slides down from the rain shield 21. In rainy weather, a certain amount of rainwater will accumulate on the surface of the rain shield 21. Under the action of gravity and wind, this rainwater will slide down along the surface of the rain shield 21. During the direct sliding process, the rainwater may splash onto the protective box 1 or other components, causing unnecessary erosion and damage. The design of the arcuate groove 224 can effectively receive this sliding rainwater, reducing the possibility of rainwater splashing onto the protective box 1 or other components.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the rain cover 21 has a conical structure, which can effectively guide rainwater to slide down quickly and reduce the accumulation of rainwater on the cover body. The rain cover 21 is fixed to the top of the protective box 1 by a fixed bracket 25, and can withstand the impact of severe weather conditions such as strong winds, which helps to ensure that the rain cover 21 can remain stable in extreme weather conditions and provide continuous protection for the lamp.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the bottom of the protective box 1 is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 26, and the telescopic structure 22 passes through the limiting ring 26, providing a stable support and fixed point, which can maintain a stable movement trajectory when adjusting the rainproof area, avoiding performance degradation due to shaking or deviation.

[0033] See also Figure 3-Figure 4 As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: a placement opening is provided on the protective box 1, and an insect-proof heat dissipation structure 3 is connected to the placement opening. It can effectively block small outdoor insects (such as mosquitoes, ants, etc.) from entering the protective box 1 through the placement opening, preventing insects from crawling inside the lamp and causing circuit short circuits or damage, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the lamp; while preventing insects from entering, it also has good heat dissipation performance. Through the sophisticated ventilation hole design, it ensures that the heat inside the lamp can be dissipated in time. In this embodiment, a fixing block 12 is provided on the protective box 1, and a locking groove is provided in the fixing block 12. A locking block 34 is provided on the insect-proof heat dissipation structure 3, and the locking block 34 is engaged with the locking groove.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the insect-proof heat dissipation structure 3 includes a fixing frame 31, an insect-proof net 32, and a reeling structure 33. The reeling structure 33 is mounted on and connected to the fixing frame 31, and the insect-proof net 32 ​​is fixedly connected to the reeling structure 33. By controlling the reeling structure 33, the insect-proof net 32 ​​is reeled, facilitating the placement of outdoor lamps. The insect-proof net 32 ​​is the core component of the insect-proof heat dissipation structure 3. It is composed of a fine mesh and can effectively prevent small outdoor insects from entering the protective box 1 through the placement opening. At the same time, the insect-proof net 32 ​​is also breathable, which can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the lamp.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the winding structure 33 includes a winding shaft 331, a movable shaft 332, and a bearing seat 333. The bearing seat 333 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 31. One end of the winding shaft 331 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 333. A rotating rod 334 is provided at the end of the winding shaft 331 away from the bearing seat 333. The movable shaft 332 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 31. One end of the insect-proof net 32 ​​is fixedly connected to the movable shaft 332, and the end of the insect-proof net 32 ​​away from the movable shaft 332 is fixedly connected to the winding shaft 331. The rotating rod 334 is driven to rotate the winding shaft 331, which is responsible for winding and unwinding the insect-proof net 32. When the winding shaft 331 rotates, the insect-proof net 32 ​​moves along the movable shaft 332, thereby achieving the effect of winding or unwinding. The movable shaft 332 ensures that the insect-proof net 32 ​​maintains a smooth motion trajectory during the winding and unwinding process. The specific working principle is as follows: when the insect-proof net 32 ​​needs to be rolled up, the rotating rod 334 is operated to drive the rotation of the reel 331. As the reel 331 rotates, the insect-proof net 32 ​​moves along the movable axis 332 toward the reel 331 and is gradually rolled up on the reel 331. When the insect-proof net 32 ​​needs to be rolled up, the rotating rod 334 is operated in the opposite direction to rotate the reel 331 in the opposite direction. At this time, the insect-proof net 32 ​​gradually unrolls from the reel 331 and moves in the opposite direction along the movable axis 332.

[0036] Specifically, in the present embodiment, a connecting plate 11 is provided on the protective box 1, and the connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective box 1. The side of the connecting plate 11 away from the protective box 1 is fixedly mounted on the supporting structure 4, and the supporting structure 4 can be a wall, a fixed plate, etc., to ensure the stability and safety of the protective box 1. Whether in severe weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy rains, or in long-term use, the connecting plate 11 can effectively prevent the protective box 1 from falling off or shaking. The highest liquid level of the rain collecting trough 23 is lower than the bottom of the protective box 1. Even in heavy rain, the rainwater in the rain collecting trough 23 cannot penetrate into the interior of the protective box 1 through the bottom. In the present embodiment, the rain collecting trough 23 is also fixedly mounted on the supporting structure 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the rain collecting trough 23 can be placed directly on the ground, and different settings can be made according to different needs.

[0037] The outdoor lamp protection structure of this embodiment has a reasonable structural design and is easy to use. This structure can also be used for other equipment with similar usage requirements. In this embodiment, the outdoor lamp protection structure can fully protect the outdoor lamp, improve the waterproof performance of the outdoor lamp, and provide a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the outdoor lamp.
