Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent transportation technology, and in particular to a wiring device for smart streetlights. Background Art

[0002] Street lighting is a significant component of urban energy consumption. Improving the energy efficiency of individual streetlights, while scientifically and intelligently controlling their lighting time, range, and brightness, are two effective ways to save energy and reduce carbon emissions.

[0003] To achieve the above goals, high-energy-consuming high-pressure sodium lamps are being gradually replaced with low-energy-consuming LED lamps. Existing LED streetlights are being upgraded with intelligent single-lamp controllers to transform them into smart streetlights, or smart streetlights are being directly adopted in new projects. Combined with relevant backend systems, smart streetlights can more intelligently control lighting time, range, and brightness, maximizing energy savings while meeting the lighting needs of road users.

[0004] Existing smart streetlights mainly consist of three major components: LED power supply, LED light-emitting modules, and LED single-lamp controllers. Due to the variety of old and new streetlight models, and the differences in manufacturing periods and installation methods, there is currently no unified wiring method for connecting these three main components. Usually, insulating tape or terminal blocks are used to directly connect the matching wires between different components. Since LED streetlights generate heat when emitting light, and the rear shell of LED streetlights generally has upward-facing heat dissipation holes, the use of insulating tape or terminal blocks for wiring is prone to water intrusion due to insufficient waterproofing. This can cause short circuits, aging, poor contact, and other durability problems, affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the streetlights.

[0005] Therefore, a new type of wiring device for smart streetlights needs to be designed to solve the durability problems caused by the current use of insulating tape or terminal blocks for wiring. Utility Model Content

[0006] An embodiment of this utility model provides a wiring device for smart streetlights, which can solve the durability problem caused by the current use of insulating tape or terminal blocks for wiring.

[0023] This utility model embodiment provides a wiring device for smart streetlights, such as... Figure 1-9 As shown, it includes: junction box body (1000) and waterproof connector (2000);

[0024] The junction box body (1000) includes a waterproof housing (1100), a terminal block (1200), an inner cover (1300), a toggle switch (1400), and internal circuitry;

[0025] The waterproof housing (1100) includes a first screw (1110), a waterproof top cover (1120), and a waterproof base (1130); the waterproof top cover (1120) includes a first round hole (1121) and a waterproof rubber strip (1122); the waterproof base (1130) includes a first screw hole (1131), a second round hole (1132), a third round hole (1133), and a strip-shaped protrusion (1134).

[0026] Specifically, the waterproof top cover (1120) and waterproof base (1130) are made of gray ABS plastic;

[0027] A waterproof rubber strip (1122) is embedded in a waterproof cover (1120). The outline of the waterproof rubber strip (1122) matches the strip protrusion (1134). When the waterproof cover (1120) is placed on the waterproof base (1130), it provides a sealing function.

[0028] The first screw (1110) matches the first screw hole (1131), and the first screw (1110) can pass through the first round hole (1121) to seal and fasten the waterproof cover (1120) to the waterproof base (1130);

[0029] The second round hole (1132) is adapted to the waterproof connector (2000), which can be sealed and fixed on the junction box body (1000) in six places;

[0030] The third round hole (1133) is used to fix the junction box body (1000) inside the street light;

[0031] The terminal block (1200) includes an indicator triangle (1210), a second screw (1220), and a terminal inlet (1230); the indicator triangle (1210) is used to identify the input and output of electrical signals;

[0032] Specifically, terminals 1 to 3 are used for mains power input, terminals 4 to 8 are used for single lamp controller input and output, terminals 9 to 15 are used for LED power input and output, and terminals 16 to 17 are used for LED light-emitting module input and output. Each continuous segment of terminal inputs is used for the input and output of a single device, thus avoiding the problems of confusing wiring sequence and unclear wiring logic from the source.

[0034] There are 17 indicator triangles (1210), 17 second screws (1220), and 17 terminal inlets (1230);

[0041] The indicated numbers (1330) range from 1 to 17;

[0042] Existing smart streetlights mainly consist of three major components: LED power supply, LED light-emitting modules, and LED individual lamp controllers. Due to the variety of old and new streetlight models, and differences in manufacturing periods and installation methods, there is currently no unified wiring method for connecting these three main components. Typically, insulating tape or terminal blocks are used to directly connect the matching wires between different components. This method has the following inherent drawbacks: 1. Disorganized wiring sequence: The wiring inside the LED streetlight is messy and irregular, making troubleshooting difficult when the streetlight malfunctions. 2. Unclear wiring logic: Due to the lack of a unified connection method, connecting the LED power supply, LED light-emitting modules, and LED individual lamp controllers by wires is cumbersome and prone to errors, making assembly difficult. 3. Because LED streetlights generate heat when emitting light, and the rear casing of LED streetlights usually has upward-facing ventilation holes, using insulating tape or terminal blocks for wiring can lead to insufficient waterproofing, making the streetlight susceptible to rainwater intrusion, causing short circuits, aging, poor contact, and other durability issues, affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the streetlight. Therefore, a novel wiring device for smart streetlights is needed to solve the problems of chaotic wiring sequence, lack of standardized connection methods, and durability caused by the current use of insulating tape or terminal blocks. The wiring device for smart streetlights provided in this embodiment offers a standardized wiring method for LED power supplies, LED light-emitting modules, and LED lamp controllers in smart streetlights. This overcomes the shortcomings of existing wiring methods, such as chaotic wiring sequence, unclear wiring logic, and non-waterproof connectors, and solves the durability problems caused by the current use of insulating tape or terminal blocks. This device is also suitable for streetlights without individual lamp controllers, expanding its application scope and enhancing its scalability.

[0043] Specifically, by introducing a toggle switch into the connection circuit, the device can also be used in streetlights without individual lamp controllers, thus expanding its application scope and enhancing its scalability.

[0044] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. Each embodiment focuses on its differences from other embodiments. The above descriptions are merely specific implementations of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
