[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure are further described in detail below in combination with the embodiments and drawings. The schematic implementation methods of the embodiments of the present disclosure and their descriptions are only used to explain the embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG, an ornamental sculpture with a lighting structure of the present application comprises a base 1, a support rod 2, a sculpture body 3, a light bulb 4 and a lighting circuit 5. In addition, in order to facilitate maintenance work, an openable maintenance door 10 is provided on the base 1 (see FIG. Figure 2 ).
[0030] Base 1 supports the entire sculpture and ensures structural stability. Designed as a monolithic structure, base 1 not only bears the full weight of the sculpture but also contains an internal cavity for accommodating and connecting other necessary infrastructure and mechanical equipment. Hinges are also provided on base 1, enabling flexible opening and closing of a maintenance door 10. This facilitates and reduces the effort required to inspect and repair internal equipment. Maintenance and repair of the installation's internal facilities can be performed without complex assembly or disassembly, significantly reducing ongoing maintenance costs.
[0031] Support rod 2 is the key component connecting base 1 and sculpture body 3. One end of support rod 2 is fixed to base 1, and the other end is connected to the bottom area of sculpture body 3. The design of support rod 2 fully considers the requirements of mechanical load-bearing and structural stability, while also considering concealment and aesthetics, as it carries the internal lighting circuit 5 extending from base 1 to sculpture body 3.
[0032] The sculpture's main body 3 is hollow, providing ample space for lighting fixtures and multiple slots specifically designed for light bulbs 4. These slots are strategically positioned at various points throughout the sculpture's interior. This meticulous design allows light to filter through the sculpture's surface, creating a variety of visual effects and enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
[0033] Light bulbs 4 are distributed throughout the artwork in a regular pattern. When lit, they create a variety of effects tailored to the occasion and needs, creating a unique atmosphere. Considering the feasibility of long-term use and the possibility of changing needs, each lamp is designed to be easily replaceable. They are connected to the lighting cable hidden within the sculpture and powered by the support rod 2 via quick-disconnect connectors.
[0034] The entire lighting system's wiring extends along the enclosed passageway of the support pole 2 toward the top, precisely targeting each placed bulb 4 to ensure safe and proper operation. This power transmission path, constructed of durable and reliable materials, provides stable power even in demanding applications without the risk of poor contact. Furthermore, the quick-disconnect design ensures that users can independently complete basic maintenance tasks in record time, eliminating the need for frequent calls to specialized engineers. This effectively reduces operating expenses while improving equipment reliability.
[0035] From the above description, we can see that the unique structure of an ornamental sculpture with an illumination structure solves the problem of difficult post-maintenance caused by the structural characteristics of ornamental sculptures, especially for the difficult-to-access or inaccessible parts deep inside the sculpture that are difficult to repair after failure. Traditional methods may force operators to dismantle the entire piece or a large area to find the damaged part and repair it with a new component, which is not only time-consuming but also increases the burden of additional labor costs. However, the new model now has advantages such as convenient entry and exit, quick disconnect connections, and clear guidance paths. It greatly improves the efficiency of on-site emergency response and service quality, making it possible for ordinary non-professionals to perform general daily maintenance and simple repair tasks within a certain range.
[0036] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 2, the present application discloses an ornamental sculpture with a lighting structure, whose upper surface is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 6, the shapes and positions of which match the supporting feet at the bottom of the sculpture body 3. This design ensures the precise installation of the sculpture body 3 on the base 1, avoiding the need to adjust the position during subsequent maintenance due to installation deviation. Specifically, the number and distribution of the positioning holes 6 are adjusted according to the design of the supporting feet of the sculpture body 3 to ensure stability and precision. In addition, the positioning holes 6 not only provide accurate installation guidance, but also effectively prevent the sculpture body 3 from shifting under the influence of external factors (such as wind). The design of the base 1 takes into account the overall stability and aesthetic effect to ensure that the ornamental sculpture is both beautiful and safe and reliable.
[0037] During the actual manufacturing process, the base 1 and the sculpture body 3 must be manufactured strictly according to the design drawings at the beginning of production, especially the drilling accuracy of the positioning holes 6. The upper surface material of the base 1 is selected from high-strength metal plates or alloy materials to ensure sufficient strength and durability. The supporting feet at the bottom of the sculpture body 3 are made of corresponding materials and are completely consistent in size and shape with the positioning holes 6 on the base 1. For example, the positioning holes 6 on the base 1 can be processed using precision drilling technology, and the supporting feet are also precisely cut and polished to ensure a high-precision fit between the two. This way, even in complex environments during on-site installation, assembly can be completed quickly and accurately, without the need for frequent adjustments or corrections.
[0038] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 The support rod 2 of the presently disclosed ornamental sculpture with an illumination structure employs a hollow structural design. This hollow structure not only facilitates the placement and maintenance of electrical wiring and other lighting system accessories, but also enhances the overall flexibility and practicality of the sculpture. An insulating rubber pad 7 is bonded to the inner wall of the support rod 2 to prevent electrical safety hazards that may arise during maintenance or daily operation. Furthermore, this insulating rubber pad 7 reduces mechanical wear between the inner and outer walls, thereby enhancing the safety and service life of the sculpture.
[0039] In one embodiment, the design of the support rod 2 makes full use of the space and provides convenient conditions for subsequent maintenance. The insulating rubber pad 7 is made of a highly elastic and weather-resistant material to ensure stable performance even under various complex environmental conditions. During installation, the insulating rubber pad 7 is directly and evenly attached to the inner wall of the support rod 2, ensuring seamless coverage without affecting the normal operation of other components, ensuring that the operator is completely insulated from contact with the inner wall under any circumstances. For example, the insulating rubber pad 7 can be cut into an appropriate shape and size using special tools and fixed with an environmentally friendly and non-toxic professional adhesive to ensure that it is tightly connected to the inside of the support rod 2.
[0040] In one embodiment, returning reference Figure 2 The support rod 2 of an ornamental sculpture with an illumination structure disclosed herein is provided with an openable maintenance door 10. The opening and closing direction of the maintenance door 10 is parallel to the long axis of the support rod 2, facilitating operation by maintenance personnel in a relatively small space. Specifically, this design prevents interference between the maintenance door 10 and other components during opening and closing. To ensure the effectiveness of this design, the maintenance door 10 is mounted in close contact with the support rod 2 and opens and closes by sliding or rotating along the long axis.
[0041] In this application, the support rod 2 is not only a key component supporting the entire ornamental sculpture, but also the main channel for internal wiring and components. Therefore, it is very necessary to rationally arrange an easy-to-operate maintenance door 10 on the support rod 2. Considering that the spatial environment in which ornamental sculptures are located is often limited, such as the corners of parks or narrow areas between buildings, traditional vertically opening and closing or hinged side-opening door designs will cause inconvenience or even be impossible to repair. In this case, the design of a parallel-opening maintenance door 10 is particularly important. This design solution not only facilitates daily inspection and maintenance work, but also improves the safety and reliability of the entire equipment.
[0042] Specifically, by arranging the maintenance door 10's track or hinge along the length of the support rod 2 and maintaining alignment with it, the maintenance door 10 can move smoothly and unimpeded within a confined space. To achieve this structural feature, a track chute combined with a roller mechanism, or a combination of a long axial guide rail and slider, can be employed to ensure smooth and reliable opening and closing of the maintenance door 10. Furthermore, to ensure good airtightness and wind resistance, accessories such as sealing strips can be installed around the maintenance door 10 to enhance airtightness.
[0043] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the main body 3 of the present invention's ornamental sculpture with an illumination structure employs a hollow, layered structure. The layers are flexibly connected via connectors 8, enabling maintenance personnel to perform maintenance and inspections layer by layer, avoiding the need for complete disassembly and assembly due to localized faults. This layered design allows each layer to be opened or closed independently, facilitating detailed inspection and repair at each level. This design reduces unnecessary disassembly steps, saving significant time and manpower.
[0044] Specifically, the design of the connector 8 adopts a threaded connection structure, which can be easily and quickly installed and removed by rotating the connection between two adjacent layers. During maintenance, only simple tools are needed to complete the separation or combination of the layers.
[0045] For example, functional components such as lamps and control modules can be pre-fixed in their corresponding slots within the layers. The upper and lower sculpture layers are then connected layer by layer using spiral connectors 8. This design not only ensures the stability of the overall structure but also greatly simplifies the on-site installation process and enhances the convenience of subsequent maintenance.
[0046] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 3 , the present application introduces a guide structure into the installation design of the bulb 4 of an ornamental sculpture with a lighting structure to ensure accurate docking between the lamp and the slot. Specifically, this feature involves a carefully designed system, which includes a guide groove 11 provided in the socket of the bulb 4 and a matching guide block 9 located on the bulb 4. When the bulb 4 is inserted into the slot, the positioning process is completed by relying on the close fit of the guide groove 11 and the guide block 9, ensuring correct docking between the two and reducing the occurrence of misoperation. The sophisticated design between the bulb 4 and the slot is intended to improve the alignment accuracy during the installation and maintenance of the lighting structure, and to reduce functional defects caused by inaccurate alignment.
[0047] In this design, the bulb 4 is guided into position by the guide groove 11, gradually securing it to the desired installation point. The guide block 9 moves along the guide groove 11, providing calibration and improving docking efficiency and accuracy. The design of the bulb 4 and its socket takes practical application needs and convenience into consideration. When inserting the bulb 4, it first slides along the guide groove 11 into the slot. As the bulb 4 is inserted further, the guide groove 11 continuously acts on the guide block 9 until it is fully inserted and securely seated.
[0048] For example, in one practical application, the lighting structure utilizes a standard round bulb 4 paired with a customized guide block 9 with a linear or curved cross-section. A corresponding guide groove 11 is provided within the socket. When the operator attempts to place the bulb 4 into the socket, it is automatically guided into the correct position. The entire process is smooth and stable, greatly improving the success rate and convenience of the operation.
[0049] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the lighting circuit 5 of an ornamental sculpture with an illumination structure of the present application utilizes a modular design, divided into multiple branch circuits 12. Each branch circuit 12 is responsible for powering a portion of the light bulbs 4. This design allows for repairs to be performed on a branch circuit if a fault occurs, requiring only that branch circuit 12 to be disconnected, without affecting the normal operation of other components. Furthermore, each branch circuit 12 is equipped with an independent fuse box 13, which contains a fuse. When a branch circuit 12 is overloaded, the fuse automatically blows, protecting the circuit from damage and facilitating rapid troubleshooting and replacement of the faulty point.
[0050] The modular design of the lighting circuit 5 not only improves the reliability and stability of the sculpture's lighting system but also greatly simplifies fault detection and repair. Specifically, the division of the multiple branch circuits 12 can be rationally arranged based on the sculpture's overall structure and aesthetic requirements. Each branch circuit 12 operates independently yet collaboratively, ensuring the overall lighting effect is not affected by local faults. Through rational layout and wiring planning, these branch circuits 12 are concealedly installed in different locations within the sculpture's internal structure, ensuring its aesthetics and durability. Furthermore, the design of the fuse boxes 13 also fully considers convenience and safety, with each box 13 individually accessible and maintainable.
[0051] For example, shunt circuits 12 can be connected to the power source and bulbs 4 via pre-buried cable conduits and plug-in connectors. These conduits can be routed along the sculpture's frame, ensuring the safety and concealment of the cables. Each shunt circuit is equipped with a small fuse box 13 with a transparent viewing window, located in an easily accessible location for inspection and replacement. Fuse box 13 also incorporates an overload protection device that immediately responds and disconnects the circuit in the event of a sudden current surge or abnormal condition, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the entire lighting system.
[0052] In one embodiment, the diameter of the support rod 2 of the lighting sculpture of the present application is slightly smaller than the height of the base 1, ensuring sufficient space for maintenance personnel to operate. This design effectively reduces the difficulty of maintenance caused by space constraints, making repair and inspection work more convenient and efficient.
[0053] Specifically, the support rod 2 is designed to match the base 1 to form a stable and easy-to-maintain overall structure. The diameter of the support rod 2 is slightly smaller than the height of the base 1 after precise calculation, thereby ensuring the height difference between the two and providing the necessary space for maintenance. The base 1 is usually made of a relatively heavy material, such as concrete or metal alloy, to increase the overall stability. The support rod 2 is made of high-strength metal material and has sufficient strength and corrosion resistance. The support rod 2 is installed on the base 1, and the connection between the two is a plug-in combination with fixing screws to ensure a secure installation and easy disassembly.
[0054] On this basis, this design optimizes the relative dimensions of support rods 2 and base 1, rationally planning the internal space. This not only enhances the sculpture's aesthetic appeal but also improves the feasibility and convenience of subsequent maintenance work. Furthermore, the space around base 1 can be designed to allow for a certain amount of manual access, making it easier to carry and operate maintenance tools.
[0055] For example, in actual technical implementation, the diameter of support rod 2 can be chosen to be approximately 20 to 50 mm smaller than the height of base 1, with fine-tuning based on actual dimensions. This ensures that technicians can move freely under the sculpture during maintenance, while preserving the aesthetic and harmonious appearance of the entire structure. This arrangement not only resolves the maintenance difficulties common in traditional structures but also leaves space and technical room for possible future functional upgrades.
[0056] In actual operation, when this device is in use, the entire ornamental sculpture with an illuminated structure begins to work in unison. First, the base 1 plays a crucial role. It not only supports the entire ornamental sculpture, ensuring it remains stable in all environments, but also facilitates maintenance. A maintenance door 10, mounted on the base 1, opens and closes via a hinged connection. This design allows maintenance personnel to easily open the door and enter the ornamental sculpture to perform various necessary maintenance tasks, such as inspection, repair, and cleaning. This greatly improves the efficiency of equipment management and overcomes the challenges of maintaining large-scale public art works.
[0057] Then, the main body 3 of the sculpture is a hollow structure. This structural feature creates good conditions for viewing and functionality. In particular, many slots are preset inside to meet the placement requirements of the light bulbs 4, so that the light can be evenly distributed in the artistic shape, forming a wonderful and unique night scene atmosphere.
[0058] Light bulbs 4 are embedded in pre-set locations within the sculpture's main body 3, and these light sources utilize special quick-disconnect connectors to provide a reliable yet flexible electrical interface with the lighting circuitry 5. This ensures that even in the event of a single point of failure or for upgrades, lamps can be quickly and easily replaced without disrupting the overall system.
[0059] While the exemplary systems and methods of the present invention have been specifically shown and described with reference to the foregoing embodiments, these are merely examples of the best modes for implementing the present systems and methods. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes may be made to the embodiments of the systems and methods described herein when implementing the present systems and / or methods without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
