Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a solar lamp. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and increasing awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection, clean energy products such as solar lights are gradually gaining market share. Solar lights convert solar energy into electrical energy through solar panels and store it in their internal batteries. When ambient light is weak, the stored energy in the batteries powers the light fixture to provide illumination.

[0003] Existing solar lights typically consist of a solar panel, a battery, and a lamp body. Their structure is simple and can be directly installed in a fixed location. However, this design limits illumination to a single direction in practical use, making angle adjustment difficult and failing to meet users' multi-angle lighting needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a solar lamp that can rotate and adjust the lighting angle to meet the multi-angle lighting needs of users.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A solar lamp, the solar lamp comprising:

[0007] The controller includes a housing, a solar panel, and a battery. The solar panel is mounted on the outer surface of the housing, and the battery is located inside the housing for storing the electrical energy generated by the solar panel.

[0008] The lighting fixture is electrically connected to the battery.

[0009] The universal ball joint mechanism includes a connecting rod, a universal ball joint, and a threaded sleeve. One of the connecting rod and the universal ball joint is installed in the housing, and the other is installed in the lighting lamp. The connecting rod has a rotating groove and a thread on its outer peripheral wall. The universal ball joint is rotatably connected in the rotating groove. The threaded sleeve is fitted on the universal ball joint and is threadedly connected to the connecting rod through the thread.

[0010] Understandably, this application, by setting up a universal ball joint mechanism, allows the universal ball joint and connecting rod to drive the lighting lamp to rotate at different angles relative to the housing. Thus, even if the solar lamp is installed in a fixed position, the user can adjust the lighting angle by rotating the lamp to meet their lighting needs. The adjustable lighting angle also makes the solar lamp suitable for different scenarios, increasing its application range. At the same time, the threaded sleeve connects to the connecting rod, movably fixing the connecting rod to the universal ball joint, ensuring that the connecting rod and the universal ball joint always maintain a stable connection, so that the lighting lamp can always rotate relative to the housing without falling off.

[0011] In one embodiment, the surface of the omnidirectional ball joint is provided with a groove.

[0012] Understandably, the recessed design reduces the weight of the omnidirectional ball joint, thereby making the overall structure of the solar lamp lighter and saving materials required for its production.

[0013] In one embodiment, the lighting lamp includes a lamp holder and a lamp body. The lamp holder is rotatably connected to the housing via a universal ball joint, and the lamp body is mounted on the lamp holder and electrically connected to the battery.

[0014] In one embodiment, the lighting fixture further includes a sensor mounted on the lamp holder and signal-connected to the controller, capable of generating a sensing signal based on environmental information, so that the controller controls the lighting fixture to turn on / off via the sensing signal;

[0015] The environmental information includes any one of sound, light, and temperature.

[0016] Understandably, the sensor setup enables the lighting to turn on or off based on changes in environmental information such as sound, light, or temperature, thereby achieving intelligent sensing control and enhancing the user experience of solar lights.

[0017] In one embodiment, the number of the universal ball joints is set to multiple, and the multiple universal ball joints are spaced apart.

[0018] In one embodiment, the solar lamp further includes a hook, and the housing has a receiving groove. The hook is rotatably connected to the housing and can be folded relative to the housing and accommodated in the receiving groove or unfolded relative to the housing to form a hook portion.

[0019] Understandably, by setting up hooks, it is convenient to hang and fix the solar light to the location required by the user, and by using the storage slot, the hooks can be stored in the storage slot when the user does not need to fix the solar light, saving the space occupied by the solar light when it is placed and making it easy to store.

[0020] In one embodiment, the hook has a hanging hole for hanging the housing.

[0021] It is understandable that the hooks have hanging holes so that users can hang the lamps on the hooks and then use the hanging holes for secondary fixation. This increases the stability of the solar lamp when it is fixed and prevents the hooks from falling off and causing damage.

[0022] In one embodiment, the solar lamp further includes an adapter that is detachably connected to the housing for transferring the housing to a preset position.

[0023] Understandably, the adapter allows for multiple fixing methods for solar lights, increasing their usability and enabling users to choose according to their needs. The detachable connection allows the adapter to be removed and stored separately when it is not needed for fixing. Furthermore, when users choose to fix the solar light using hooks or do not fix it at all, removing the adapter can reduce the size and weight of the solar light, making it more convenient to use.

[0024] In one embodiment, the adapter is configured as either a grounding pin or a clip.

[0025] In one embodiment, the adapter includes a fixed base and an assembly base, and the housing is further provided with a connecting groove. The fixed base is detachably connected to the connecting groove. The assembly base is rotatably connected to the fixed base and is used to transfer the housing to a preset position.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the solar lamp described above features a universal ball joint mechanism. Through the arrangement of the universal ball joint and connecting rod, the universal ball joint allows the lamp to rotate at different angles relative to the housing. This means that even when the solar lamp is installed in a fixed position, the user can adjust the lighting angle by rotating the lamp to meet their lighting needs. Furthermore, the adjustable lighting angle makes the solar lamp suitable for different scenarios, increasing its applicability. Simultaneously, the threaded sleeve connects to the connecting rod, movably fixing the connecting rod to the universal ball joint, ensuring a stable connection between the connecting rod and the universal ball joint. This allows the lamp to rotate relative to the housing without detaching. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a solar lamp 100, which, after being installed in a fixed position, can rotate at multiple angles relative to the fixed position so as to adjust its lighting angle according to user needs.

[0040] Specifically, the solar lamp 100 includes a controller 10, a lighting lamp 20, and a universal ball joint mechanism 30. The controller 10 includes a housing 11, a solar panel 12, and a battery (not shown). The solar panel 12 is installed on the outer surface of the housing 11, and the battery is located inside the housing 11 to store the electrical energy generated by the solar panel 12. The lighting lamp 20 is electrically connected to the battery. The universal ball joint mechanism 30 includes a connecting rod 31, a universal ball joint 32, and a threaded sleeve 33. One of the connecting rod 31 and the universal ball joint 32 is installed in the housing 11, and the other is installed in the lighting lamp 20. The connecting rod 31 has a rotating groove 311 and a thread 312 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod 31. The universal ball joint 32 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 311, and the threaded sleeve 33 is fitted on the universal ball joint 32 and is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 31 through the thread 312.

[0041] It is understandable that existing solar lights 100, once installed in a fixed position, cannot adjust the lighting area, failing to meet different user lighting needs. Therefore, this application addresses this by setting up a universal ball joint mechanism 30, rotatably connecting the universal ball joint 32 to the rotating groove 311. One of the connecting rod 31 and the universal ball joint 32 is installed on the housing 11, and the other on the lighting lamp 20. Thus, when the connecting rod 31 rotates relative to the universal ball joint 32, it can drive the lighting lamp 20 to rotate at multiple angles relative to the housing 11. Even when the solar light 100 is installed in a fixed position, the user can adjust the lighting angle by rotating the lighting lamp 20 to meet their lighting needs. Furthermore, by adjusting the lighting angle, the solar light 100 can be adapted to different scenarios. Simultaneously, the threaded sleeve 33 connects to the connecting rod 31, movably fixing the connecting rod 31 to the universal ball joint 32, ensuring a stable connection between the connecting rod 31 and the universal ball joint 32. This allows the lighting lamp 20 to rotate relative to the housing 11 without falling off.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the universal ball joint 32 is installed on the housing 11 and the connecting rod 31 is installed on the lighting lamp 20. Therefore, after the solar lamp 100 in this embodiment is installed in a fixed position and the housing 11 is fixed, the lighting lamp 20 can rotate at different angles relative to the housing 11 through the universal ball joint mechanism 30 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the lighting angle. Of course, it is not limited to this installation method, and the actual situation can be determined according to specific needs.

[0043] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 and Figure 3The lighting lamp 20 includes a lamp holder 21 and a lamp body 22. The lamp holder 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 11 via a universal ball joint 32. The lamp body 22 is mounted on the lamp holder 21 and is electrically connected to the battery. In this way, the lamp body 22 can be fixed, and the lamp holder 21 can protect the lamp body 22 from damage caused by impact. At the same time, the lamp body 22 can use the electrical energy stored in the battery to provide illumination, thereby realizing its lighting function.

[0044] Furthermore, the lighting lamp 20 also includes a sensor 23, which is mounted on the lamp holder 21 and signal-connected to the controller 10. The sensor 23 generates a sensing signal based on environmental information, enabling the controller 10 to control the lighting lamp 20 to turn on / off via the sensing signal. The environmental information includes any one of sound, light, or temperature. It is understood that the sensor 23 enables the lighting lamp 20 to turn on or off based on changes in environmental information such as sound, light, or temperature, thereby achieving intelligent sensing control and improving the user experience of the solar lamp. For example, the sensor 23 can be configured as any one of a sound sensor, light sensor, or infrared sensor; however, it is not limited to these, and the specific configuration of the sensor 23 can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the number of universal ball joint mechanisms 30 is set to multiple, and the multiple universal ball joint mechanisms 30 are arranged at intervals.

[0046] Preferably, the number of universal ball joint mechanisms 30 can be set to two, three, or four, but is not limited to these. The specific number can be determined according to actual production conditions and user needs. In this embodiment, the number of universal ball joint mechanisms 30 is set to two.

[0047] In one embodiment, the surface of the universal ball head 32 is provided with a groove 321, which can reduce the weight of the universal ball head 32, make the overall structure of the solar lamp 100 lighter, and save the material of this part, thereby reducing the production cost of the solar lamp 100.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the solar lamp 100 also includes a hook 40, and a receiving groove 41 is provided on the housing 11. The hook 40 is rotatably connected to the housing 11 and can be folded relative to the housing 11 and placed in the receiving groove 41, or unfolded relative to the housing 11 to form a hook. Thus, when the hook 40 is unfolded relative to the housing 11 to form a hook, the solar lamp 100 can be suspended and fixed to the position required by the user. When it is not necessary to fix the solar lamp 100, the hook 40 can be folded and placed in the receiving groove 41 to reduce the overall size of the solar lamp 100 and facilitate storage.

[0049] Furthermore, the hook 40 has a hanging hole 42 for hanging the housing 11. This arrangement allows the solar lamp 100 to be fixed to the desired position by the hanging hole 42, or the solar lamp 100 can be further fixed by the hanging hole 42 after being suspended by the hook of the hook 40, to prevent the solar lamp 100 from swaying due to wind or other forces when suspended by the hook, thus forming a secondary fixation that is more secure.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the solar lamp 100 also includes an adapter 50, which is detachably connected to the housing 11 for transferring the housing 11 to a preset position. This allows the solar lamp 100 to have multiple fixing methods, increasing its usability and allowing users to choose according to their needs. The detachable connection allows the adapter 50 to be removed and stored separately when it is not needed for fixing. Furthermore, when the user chooses the hook 40 fixing method or does not fix the solar lamp 100, removing the adapter 50 reduces the size and weight of the solar lamp 100, making it more convenient to use.

[0051] Furthermore, adapter 50 is configured as a ground pin (see...) Figure 4 ), clips (see Figure 5 Any of the following can be used: the ground pin can fix the solar lamp 100 to the ground or other locations where it can be inserted and removed; the clip makes it easy for the solar lamp 100 to be fixed by clamping; of course, the adapter 50 can also be set as a fixed part with threads and other types of fixed parts, depending on the user's needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] In one embodiment, the adapter 50 includes a fixed base 51 and an assembly base 52. A connecting groove 53 is also provided on the housing 11. The fixed base 51 is detachably connected to the connecting groove 53. The assembly base 52 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 51, used to transfer the housing 11 to a preset position. The aforementioned threaded fixing components and other types of fixing components all have a structure with a fixed base 51 and an assembly base 52, and the connection methods between the two and between the fixed base 51 and the connecting groove 53 are the same. Here, the fixed base 51 and the connecting groove 53 are plugged into each other to achieve a detachable connection.

[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0054] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
