Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the base structure of a 360-degree rotatable underwater lighting fixture. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the support and lighting components of a 360-degree rotatable underwater lighting fixture.

[0025] Good lighting conditions are essential for obtaining clear images during ocean observations. Currently, the commonly used lighting method to ensure clear ocean observations is to fix multiple lights around the camera. However, this method has a limited illumination area and a single illumination range, making it difficult to adjust the illumination area according to the camera's rotation.

[0026] To solve this problem, this utility model provides an underwater 360-degree rotatable lighting fixture, including: a base 100, a base cover 110, a control module 200, a first drive motor 210, a first connecting rod 220, a second drive motor 311, a second connecting rod 312, a third connecting rod, a bracket 300, a bearing, and a lamp body 400.

[0027] The bracket 300 is U-shaped and is integrally molded. The bracket 300 includes a left vertical support, a right vertical support, and a lower horizontal support. One end of the lower horizontal support is connected to one end of the left vertical support, and the other end of the lower horizontal support is connected to one end of the right vertical support. The lamp body 400 is positioned between the left vertical support, the right vertical support, and the lower horizontal support.

[0028] A left-side connecting assembly is provided at the other end of the left vertical support. The left-side connecting assembly has a horizontal left-side through hole. One end of the second connecting rod 312 passes through the left-side through hole and connects to the lamp body 400. The other end of the second connecting rod 312 is connected to the rotating shaft of the second drive motor 311. The left-side connecting assembly includes a left-side waterproof cover 310 and a left-side waterproof ring 313. A first protruding edge facing left is provided at the other end of the left vertical support. The first protruding edge is annular and has a first external thread. The left-side through hole is located at the center of the annular shape of the first protruding edge.

[0029] The left waterproof cover 310 has a first internal thread, and the left waterproof ring 313 fits onto the first protruding edge. The first internal thread of the left waterproof cover 310 is adapted to connect with the first external thread of the first protruding edge, and the left waterproof cover 310 compresses the left waterproof ring 313. The left waterproof cover 310 and the first protruding edge form an installation space, in which the second drive motor 311 and the second connecting rod 312 are both located. By rotating the left waterproof cover 310 along the thread direction, the left waterproof ring 313 deforms under force, filling the gap between the left waterproof cover 310 and the first protruding edge, thus sealing the installation space.

[0030] The other end of the right vertical support is provided with a right-side connecting assembly, which has a horizontal right-side through hole. One end of the third connecting rod passes through the right-side through hole and connects to the lamp body 400, while the other end of the third connecting rod connects to the rotating part of the bearing. The right-side connecting assembly includes a right-side waterproof cover 320 and a right-side waterproof ring. The other end of the right vertical support is provided with a second protruding edge facing to the right. The second protruding edge is annular and has a second external thread. The right-side through hole is located at the center of the annular shape of the second protruding edge.

[0031] The right waterproof cover 320 has a second internal thread. The right waterproof ring fits over the second raised edge. The second internal thread of the right waterproof cover and the second external thread of the second raised edge are adapted to connect, and the right waterproof cover 320 compresses the right waterproof ring. The right waterproof cover 320 and the second raised edge form an installation space, in which the bearing and the third connecting rod are located. By rotating the right waterproof cover 320 along the thread direction, the right waterproof ring deforms under force, filling the gap between the right waterproof cover 320 and the second raised edge, thus sealing the installation space. When the second drive motor 311 rotates, the lamp body 400 drives the third connecting rod, one end of which is connected to a bearing. Its main function is to support the rotation of the lamp body, reduce the coefficient of friction during its movement, and ensure its rotational accuracy.

[0032] When the second drive motor 311 rotates, the lamp body can rotate around the second connecting rod 312 and the third connecting rod as the rotation center, and the illumination angle of the lamp body 400 in the vertical direction can be adjusted.

[0033] A first cavity is formed between the base 100 and the base cover 110. The control module 200 and the first drive motor 210 are disposed in the first cavity. The control module 200 is connected to the first drive motor 210, the second drive motor 311 and the lamp body 400 respectively. The base cover 110 has a lower through hole in the center. One end of the first connecting rod 220 is connected to the first drive motor 210, and the other end of the first connecting rod 220 passes through the lower through hole and is fixed to the middle of the lower horizontal support.

[0034] When the first drive motor 210 rotates, the first connecting rod 220 drives the bracket 300 to rotate horizontally. By simultaneously adjusting the rotation angles of the first drive motor 210 and the second drive motor 311, the lamp body 400 can rotate 360 ​​degrees, making the illumination more flexible and precise, improving underwater observation efficiency, and providing ideal lighting conditions for seabed observation. This allows the lamp to rotate and change angles as needed during underwater observation, resulting in clearer seabed images. Furthermore, the base 100, base cover 110, first connecting rod 220, second connecting rod 312, third connecting rod, bracket 300, and lamp body 400 are all made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or titanium alloy, which better resists seawater corrosion.

[0035] To prevent seawater from seeping into the device through gaps, in some further specific embodiments, the base 100 has a first groove on its side wall for accommodating a first waterproof ring. A second groove is provided in the middle of the lower crossbar of the bracket 400 for accommodating a second waterproof ring. The left and right waterproof rings, the first and second waterproof rings are in an "O" shape. A waterproof ring is a small, round, elastic ring used for sealing or waterproofing, typically made of rubber, silicone, or other elastic materials. The main materials for waterproof rings include rubber, silicone, and fluororubber. These materials have good elasticity and sealing properties, meeting the waterproofing requirements of different environments.

[0036] To achieve more precise control over the rotation of the lamps, in some specific examples, the first drive motor 130 and the second drive motor 220 employ stepper motors. A stepper motor is an electric motor that converts electrical pulse signals into corresponding angular or linear displacement. The working principle of a stepper motor is based on the principle of electromagnetism; it is a freely rotating electromagnet whose operation relies on changes in the air gap permeability to generate electromagnetic torque. When the stepper driver receives a pulse signal, it drives the stepper motor to rotate a fixed angle in a set direction; this angle is called the "step angle." The rotation of the stepper motor occurs step by step at fixed angles, thus precise control of the motor's speed and angular displacement can be achieved by controlling the frequency and number of pulse signals.

[0037] To better control the various parameters of the lighting fixture, in some further specific examples, this embodiment employs a drive module. The drive module 130 includes a microcontroller. A microcontroller (also known as a single-chip microcontroller) is an integrated circuit chip that uses very large-scale integrated circuit technology to integrate a central processing unit (CPU) with data processing capabilities, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), multiple I / O ports, interrupt system, timer / counter, and other functions (and may also include display drive circuit, pulse width modulation circuit, analog multiplexer, A / D converter, etc.) onto a single silicon chip, thus forming a small but complete microcomputer system. The control module 130 can conveniently control the rotation angle of the first drive motor 140 and the second drive motor 220, and can also freely adjust the spectral parameters of the lighting fixture, resulting in clearer underwater observation images.

[0038] Although the description of this application has been quite detailed and particularly focused on the described embodiments, it is not intended to limit itself to any of these details or embodiments or any particular embodiment, but should be considered as effectively covering the intended scope of this application by referring to the appended claims and taking into account the prior art to provide a broad possible interpretation of these claims. Furthermore, the foregoing description of this application with respect to embodiments foreseeable by the inventors is intended to provide a useful description, and non-substantial modifications to this application that have not yet been foreseen may still represent equivalent modifications.
