Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting fixtures, and more specifically, to a lighting fixture with a camera. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, lighting fixtures have integrated other functions in addition to traditional lighting functions. For example, there are now lighting fixtures with cameras on the market. These fixtures use images captured by cameras to sense activities in the environment, thereby enabling the lights to turn on and off automatically and to monitor the environment.

[0003] Lighting fixtures with cameras consist of a lighting module for illumination and a camera for recording. They are generally powered in two ways: one is that the lighting module and the camera are connected to an external power source separately. This method requires additional wiring, which is very inconvenient for environments where there is no reserved power supply or wiring space; the other is that the lighting module and the camera share a power supply module. In this method, if the connection between the lighting module and the power source is disconnected, the camera will also lose power, which cannot guarantee the continuous operation of the camera. This power supply method cannot meet the control requirements of lighting and video recording, especially for lighting systems that need to control the on / off of multiple lights with a single switch. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lamp with a camera that can ensure power supply to the camera when the lighting module is turned off, thereby maintaining the continuous operation of the camera and enabling continuous shooting and monitoring of the environment.

[0005] A lighting fixture with a camera includes a power supply module, an energy storage module, a lighting module, and a camera module. The input terminal of the power supply module is connected to an external power source, and the output terminals of the power supply module are connected to the lighting module and the energy storage module respectively. The camera module is connected to the energy storage module. When the power supply module is connected to the external power source, it supplies power to the lighting module and the camera, and charges the energy storage module. When the power supply module is disconnected from the external power source, the camera is powered by the energy storage module.

[0006] In the above technical solution, an energy storage module is provided between the power supply module and the camera. When the power supply module is connected to an external power source, it charges the energy storage module while supplying power to the lighting module and the camera, storing the electrical energy needed for the camera to operate. When the lighting module is turned off, the power supply module is disconnected from the external power source, and the camera is then powered through the energy storage module, thus ensuring continuous operation of the camera when the lighting module is off. In practical applications, this achieves the effect of charging the energy storage module while providing nighttime illumination, and ensuring continuous camera operation during the day when the lighting is turned off. This invention has a reasonable structure, can be installed without altering existing wiring, and is more convenient and flexible to use.

[0007] Furthermore, the lighting module includes a driving unit and a lighting element, the input terminal of the driving unit is connected to the power supply module, and the output terminal of the driving unit is connected to the lighting element.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the lighting component is driven by a driving unit to achieve stable operation of the lighting component.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a control unit connected to the lighting element, which is used to control the light emission state of the lighting element.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the control unit can control the light emission state of the lighting component, such as brightness and color, making the use of the lighting component more flexible and user-friendly.

[0011] Furthermore, the control unit includes a wireless unit for receiving wireless control signals.

[0012] In the above technical solution, by setting up a wireless unit, wireless control of the lighting components can be achieved, making it more convenient and flexible to use.

[0013] Furthermore, the lighting element is an LED light panel.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a control switch, which is located between the power supply module and the external power source.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the control switch can control the connection and disconnection between the power supply module and the external power supply, thereby controlling the lighting module to turn on and off.

[0016] Furthermore, the energy storage module is a fast charging module.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the energy storage module adopts a fast charging module, which can quickly charge the energy storage module when the power supply module is connected to an external power source, so as to ensure that the camera has enough power for the next use.

[0018] Furthermore, the external power source is AC mains power.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: an energy storage module is provided between the power supply module and the camera. When the power supply module is connected to an external power source, it charges the energy storage module while supplying power to the lighting module and the camera, storing the electrical energy needed for the camera to operate. When the lighting module is turned off, the power supply module is disconnected from the external power source, and the camera is then powered through the energy storage module, thus ensuring continuous operation of the camera when the lighting module is off. In practical applications, this invention enables simultaneous charging of the energy storage module during nighttime illumination and continuous camera operation during the day when the lighting is turned off. The structure of this invention is reasonable, requiring no changes to existing wiring for installation, making it more convenient and flexible to use. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To facilitate understanding of this invention, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. However, this invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the lamp with camera of this utility model mainly includes a power supply module 1, an energy storage module 2, a lighting module 3, and a camera module 4. The input terminal of the power supply module 1 is connected to an external power source, and the output terminal of the power supply module 1 is connected to both the lighting module 3 and the energy storage module 2. The camera module 4 is connected to the energy storage module 2. When the power supply module 1 is connected to the external power source, it supplies power to the lighting module 3 and the camera, and charges the energy storage module 2. When the power supply module 1 is disconnected from the external power source, the camera is powered through the energy storage module 2.

[0025] For example, the power supply module 1 can use the power supply circuit of an existing lamp, with its input terminal connected to an external power source. In this embodiment, the external power source is AC mains power. It is understood that in other possible embodiments, the external power source can be other power sources such as batteries. The energy storage module 2 can use an existing fast charging module, which can quickly charge the energy storage module 2 when the power supply module 1 is connected to an external power source, ensuring that the camera has sufficient power for the next use. The lighting module 3 is used for illumination, and the camera module 4 is used for monitoring and sensing. An energy storage module 2 is provided between the power supply module 1 and the camera. When the power supply module 1 is connected to an external power source, it charges the energy storage module 2 while supplying power to the lighting module 3 and the camera, storing the electrical energy needed for the camera to operate. When the lighting module 3 is turned off, the power supply module 1 is disconnected from the external power source, and the camera is then powered through the energy storage module 2, thus ensuring the camera continues to work when the lighting module 3 is turned off. In specific applications, this invention can achieve the effect of charging the energy storage module 2 while providing illumination at night, and ensuring the camera continues to work after the lighting is turned off during the day. The structure of this invention is reasonable, and it can be installed without changing the existing wiring, making it more convenient and flexible to use.

[0026] In this embodiment, the lighting module 3 includes a driving unit 31 and a lighting element 32. The input terminal of the driving unit 31 is connected to the power supply module 1, and the output terminal of the driving unit 31 is connected to the lighting element 32. Specifically, the driving unit 31 can use an existing lamp driving circuit, the specific principle of which will not be elaborated here. The lighting element 32 can be an LED light panel. In specific implementations, the lamp can be made into a downlight, ceiling light, fan light, or bulb light, and the lighting element 32 is located inside the lamp and is used for emitting light. By driving the lighting element 32 through the driving unit 31, the stable operation of the lighting element 32 can be achieved.

[0027] The lighting module 3 in this embodiment also includes a control unit 33, which is connected to the lighting element 32 and is used to control the light emission state of the lighting element 32. For example, the control unit 33 uses an existing control circuit, which can control the on / off state and light emission state of the lighting element 32, such as brightness and color, making the use of the lighting element 32 more flexible and user-friendly. In specific use, the camera can sense the surrounding environment. When the camera detects activity within its field of view, the control circuit, upon receiving the signal from the camera, controls the lighting element 32 to start, thereby turning on the lighting. When there is no activity within the camera's field of view, the control circuit controls the lighting element 32 to turn off after a preset time, thus achieving automatic start and stop of the lighting element 32 and achieving energy saving.

[0028] In this embodiment, the control unit 33 includes a wireless unit for receiving wireless control signals. The wireless unit can be an existing wireless control unit, such as an infrared module or a Bluetooth module. By setting up the wireless unit, the user can transmit control signals wirelessly. After receiving the wireless control signal, the control unit 33 adjusts the brightness and color of the lighting element 32 according to the signal, making it more convenient and flexible to use.

[0029] The lighting fixture with camera in this embodiment also includes a control switch 5, which is located between the power supply module 1 and the external power source. The control switch 5 can be an existing mechanical switch, which can control the on / off state of the power supply module 1 and the external power source, thereby controlling the lighting module 3 to turn on or off.
