[0025] 5. Diffuser. Detailed Implementation

[0026] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 A lantern includes a lamp cover, a mounting assembly disposed on the upper surface of the lamp cover, and four solar panels, wherein the distance between two solar panels close to the mounting assembly is at least 2-3 cm.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses an installation component to wall-mount the lamp, wherein four solar panels are installed on the upper surface of the lamp cover to receive direct sunlight and extend the sunlight exposure time; at the same time, the distance between two solar panels close to the installation component is limited to at least 2-3 cm, and the four solar panels are placed outside the sunlight projection range of the installation component, which can avoid the installation component blocking the sunlight shining on the solar panels and improve charging efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the minimum distance between two adjacent solar panels is 0.1~0.5cm.

[0030] Furthermore, the angle between the axis of the solar panel and the horizontal plane is 30~60°.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the solar panels are tilted to absorb more solar energy.

[0032] Furthermore, a solar panel base is provided on the upper surface of the lamp cover, and the solar panel is placed on the solar panel base, which protrudes relative to the upper surface of the lamp cover.

[0033] As can be seen from the above description, the solar base protrudes from the upper surface of the lamp cover, which can prevent the lamp cover from casting shadows on the solar panel.

[0034] Furthermore, the solar base has a recess in the middle of the side facing the solar panel.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 4 As can be seen from the above description, the solar panel is connected to the solar base by adhesive. The solar base has a concave center on the side facing the solar panel, and the amount of adhesive in the concave area is increased, which can effectively improve the bonding strength between the solar panel and the solar base.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting components include a U-shaped tube, a straight tube, and a mounting plate connected in sequence; one end of the U-shaped tube is connected to the straight tube, and the other end is connected to the upper surface of the lamp cover, and the mounting plate is connected to the lamp to be installed.

[0037] As described above, the mounting plate, straight tube, U-shaped tube, and lamp cover are connected sequentially at the location where the kerosene lamp is to be installed to complete the installation.

[0038] Furthermore, the diameter of the U-shaped tube is larger than that of the straight tube, the straight tube is fitted with the U-shaped tube, and a screw hole is provided at the end of the U-shaped tube closest to the straight tube.

[0039] As described above, the straight pipe is fitted onto the U-shaped pipe, and then the screw is tightened into the screw hole to connect the U-shaped pipe and the straight pipe.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes a base, which is connected to the lower end of the lamp cover. The battery and circuit board are installed on the side of the base facing the lamp cover, and the lamp holder is installed on the side of the base away from the lamp cover.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the side of the lamp cover facing the base, and the baffle is located above the battery.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, the baffle is used to fix the battery and prevent it from becoming loose or falling off.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 Furthermore, the base has a circuit board groove on the side facing the lamp cover, and the circuit board is set in the circuit board groove.

[0044] As can be seen from the above description, placing the circuit board in the circuit board recess can prevent the circuit board from shifting or falling off.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 Furthermore, a protrusion is provided on the side of the base away from the lamp cover. A motion sensor is installed inside the protrusion, and a sensing probe is installed outside the protrusion. The closer the protrusion is to the lamp to be installed, the higher it protrudes.

[0046] As can be seen from the above description, the protrusion is higher the closer it is to the lamp to be installed, which makes the sensor probe installed on the protrusion tilted and expand the detection range.

[0047] Furthermore, the slope of the boss is 30~60°.

[0048] As can be seen from the above description, the detection range is largest when the slope of the boss is 30~60°.

[0049] Furthermore, the four solar panels are connected in series in pairs and then in parallel and electrically connected to the circuit board. The circuit board is electrically connected to the battery and the lamp holder respectively. The sensing probe, motion sensor and circuit board are electrically connected in sequence.

[0050] As described above, connecting four solar panels in series in pairs and then in parallel, with the latter electrically connected to the circuit board, results in higher charging efficiency. Under the same sunshine duration, the charging efficiency is 3 to 5 times that of three solar panels connected in series. With three solar panels directly connected in series, the solar light can only operate for about 2 hours after being charged by sunshine. However, with four solar panels connected in series in pairs and then in parallel, the light can operate for more than 7 hours under the same sunshine charging conditions.

[0051] This invention uses a sensor probe to detect whether someone is passing by. If someone is passing by, the sensor probe sends an electrical signal through a motion sensor and a circuit board. The circuit board then controls the battery to discharge to the lamp holder, turning the lamp on or dimming it. After the person leaves, the sensor probe sends an electrical signal through the motion sensor and the circuit board again. The circuit board then controls the battery to discharge to the lamp holder, turning the lamp off or dimming it, thus achieving automatic adjustment and reducing energy consumption.

[0052] Furthermore, there is a protrusion within 2-3 cm around the lamp holder on the side of the base furthest from the lamp cover.

[0053] As can be seen from the above description, the protrusion within 2-3 cm around the lamp holder, relative to the side of the base furthest from the lamp cover, can reduce the obstruction of the protrusion on the light emitted by the bulb.

[0054] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the lamp holder protrudes from the side of the base away from the lamp cover.

[0055] As can be seen from the above description, the outer periphery of the lamp holder protrudes from the side of the base away from the lamp cover, which can prevent moisture from entering the lamp holder and corroding the internal metal.

[0056] Furthermore, the bulb can be detachably mounted on the lamp holder.

[0057] Furthermore, it also includes a diffuser, which surrounds and is connected to the lamp cover.

[0058] As can be seen from the above description, the diffuser makes the light from the bulb more uniform and softer.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The first embodiment of this utility model is: a lantern, including a lamp cover 1, a mounting assembly 2 disposed on the upper surface of the lamp cover 1 and four solar panels 3, a base 4 connected to the lower end of the lamp cover 1, and a diffuser shroud 5 disposed around the lamp cover 1 and connected to the lamp cover 1.

[0060] The minimum spacing between the two solar panels 3 closest to the mounting component 2 is 2.5cm, the minimum spacing between the remaining solar panels 3 is 0.3cm, and the angle between the axis of the solar panel 3 and the horizontal plane is 45°.

[0061] Mounting assembly 2 includes a U-shaped tube 21, a straight tube 22, and a mounting plate 23 connected in sequence; one end of the U-shaped tube 21 is connected to the straight tube 22, and the other end is connected to the upper surface of the lamp cover 1; the mounting plate 23 is connected to the lamp to be installed; the diameter of the U-shaped tube 21 is larger than that of the straight tube 22, the straight tube 22 is sleeved on the U-shaped tube 21, and a screw hole is provided at the end of the U-shaped tube 21 near the straight tube 22.

[0062] A battery 41, a circuit board groove 42, and a circuit board 43 are provided on the side of the base 4 facing the lamp cover 1. A lamp holder 44 and a boss 45 are provided on the side of the base 4 away from the lamp cover 1. A motion sensor is provided inside the boss 45, and a sensing probe 451 is provided outside the boss 45. The boss 45 protrudes higher as it gets closer to the lamp to be installed, and the slope of the boss 45 is 45°. A bulb 441 is detachably installed on the lamp holder 44. The lamp holder 44 protrudes within a 2.5cm radius relative to the side of the base 4 away from the lamp cover 1, and the outer periphery of the lamp holder 44 protrudes relative to the side of the base 4 away from the lamp cover 1.

[0063] Four solar panels 3 are connected in series in pairs and then in parallel, and are electrically connected to circuit board 43 through wires. Circuit board 43 is electrically connected to battery 41 and lamp holder 44 through wires. Sensing probe 451, motion sensor and circuit board 43 are electrically connected in sequence through wires.

[0064] The principle of this invention is as follows: During the day, the solar panel 3 converts light energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery 41. At night, the circuit board 43 controls the battery 41 to discharge to the lamp holder 44, lighting the bulb 441. At night, the sensor 451 detects whether someone has passed by. If someone has passed by, the sensor 451 senses an electrical signal that passes through the motion sensor and the circuit board 43 in sequence. The circuit board 43 then controls the battery 41 to increase its discharge to the lamp holder 44, thus brightening the lamp. After the person leaves, the sensor 451 senses an electrical signal that passes through the motion sensor and the circuit board 43 in sequence. The circuit board 43 then controls the battery 41 to decrease its discharge to the lamp holder 44, thus dimming the lamp.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 4 and 5 Embodiment two of this utility model is as follows:

[0066] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 lies only in the following: a solar panel 3 base 4 is provided on the upper surface of the lamp cover 1, the solar panel 3 is mounted on the solar base 11, the solar base 11 protrudes relative to the upper surface of the lamp cover 1, and the center of the solar base 11 facing the solar panel 3 is recessed; a baffle 12 is provided on the side of the lamp cover 1 facing the base 4, and the baffle 12 is located above the battery 41. The minimum distance between two adjacent solar panels 3 is 3cm, the angle between the axis of the solar panel 3 and the horizontal plane is 60°; the slope of the boss 45 is 60°; the lamp holder 44 protrudes within a 3cm radius relative to the side of the base 4 away from the lamp cover 1.

[0067] Embodiment three of this utility model is as follows:

[0068] The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is only that: the minimum distance between two adjacent solar panels 3 is 2cm, the angle between the axis of the solar panel 3 and the horizontal plane is 30°; the slope of the boss 45 is 30°; and the lamp holder 44 protrudes within 2cm around the side of the base 4 away from the lamp cover 1.

[0069] In summary, the lantern provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
