Therefore, they should not be understood as special limitations on the technical solutions provided by the present invention.
[0020] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The utility model relates to a sealing structure of an underwater lamp, including a lamp tube 1, a front sealing ring 2, a plane lens 3, a sealing gasket 4, a front cover 5, a rear sealing ring 6, a rear cover plate 7 and a cable connector 8. The lamp tube 1, the front cover 5 and the rear cover plate 7 are made of aluminum alloy, which makes the underwater lamp as a whole light and has obvious heat dissipation effect. The surface of the aluminum alloy is also hard-oxidized, thereby improving the overall hardness and corrosion resistance of the lamp body.
[0021] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The plane lens 3 is arranged at the front end of the lamp tube 1. It adopts a high-transmittance plane lens, which can effectively transmit the propagation of light. It adopts a certain thickness so that it will not be crushed by high water pressure in deep water. The lamp tube 1 is formed with a lens installation cavity 13 at the front end opening for accommodating the plane lens 3. The rear end of the lens installation cavity 13 is formed with a circle of steps 14 to limit the plane lens 3. The step 14 is provided with a front sealing ring groove 141, and the front sealing ring 2 is embedded in the front sealing ring groove 141 and fixed by the front sealing ring groove 141 and the plane lens 3. When the plane lens 3 is squeezed downward, it can play an effective sealing role.
[0022] Furthermore, the lamp tube 1 is provided with a middle groove 15 in the middle of the outer wall, which can be used to fix the underwater light with a clamp-like accessory. The lamp tube 1 is provided with rear grooves 16 at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the rear end, which facilitates the tightening and fixing of the lamp tube 1.
[0023] The front cover 5 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 51 in the middle to facilitate the passage of light. The outer wall of the front opening of the lamp tube 1 is formed with an outer thread 12, and the inner wall of the front cover 5 is formed with an inner thread 52. The front cover 5 is tightly connected to the front opening of the lamp tube 1 through threaded fit. The sealing gasket 4 is annular, arranged in the front cover 5 and pressed against the front side of the plane lens 3. The outer diameter of the sealing gasket 4 is the same as the inner diameter of the lens mounting cavity 13 of the lamp tube 1, and the inner diameter of the sealing gasket 4 is the same as the inner diameter of the front cover 5.
[0024] Furthermore, the front cover 5 is provided with positioning holes 53 on the outer end surface and at intervals around the light-transmitting hole 51, and the front cover 5 is provided with positioning grooves 54 at intervals around the circumferential direction on the side wall. The positioning holes 53 and positioning grooves 54 are used to cooperate with external tightening tools to facilitate the tightening and fixing of the front cover 5 and the lamp tube 1.
[0025] The rear cover plate 7 is pressed onto the rear end face of the lamp tube 1 through the connecting piece 9. In this embodiment, the connecting piece 9 is a hexagonal stainless steel screw with good corrosion resistance. Screw holes are correspondingly provided on the rear cover plate 7 and the lamp tube 1, which are tightened by screws for easy installation. The rear cover plate 7 is narrowed on the side facing the lamp tube 1 to form a boss 71. The boss 71 extends into the rear end opening of the lamp tube 1. The rear end opening of the lamp tube 1 is formed as an oblique opening 11 to facilitate the installation of the boss 71. The boss 71 is formed with a rear sealing ring groove 711 on the outer wall. The rear sealing ring 6 is embedded in the rear sealing ring groove 711 and protrudes from the rear sealing ring groove 711. When the rear cover plate 7 is tightened, the rear sealing ring 6 is tightly matched with the oblique opening 11 of the lamp tube 1, which can effectively prevent water. The rear cover 7 has a central connector hole 72 extending through the boss 71. The outlet end 81 of the cable connector 8 connects to the hole 72 via a threaded connection, allowing the cable to be introduced into the lamp tube 1 for easy installation. A connector seal 82 is also provided at the rear end of the outlet end 81, corresponding to the threaded connection. This seal also effectively prevents water from entering the wires and the interior of the lamp, ensuring safety.
[0026] The utility model adopts a multi-stage sealing design to construct a strict waterproof system, which can effectively cope with high water pressure and complex water flow, and has reliable waterproof durability, thereby achieving the purpose of the invention.
