Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting device technology, specifically to an outdoor lighting lamp. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor lifestyles and the widespread use of electronic devices, outdoor lighting fixtures that combine lighting and power outlet functions (such as courtyard lights, lawn lights, and landscape light poles) are becoming increasingly popular in the market. They provide illumination for outdoor settings like courtyards, gardens, terraces, and balconies, while also offering convenient AC power interfaces (such as standard two- or three-prong sockets) for temporary charging or powering of electronic devices like mobile phones, tablets, laptops, small power tools, ambient lights, and fans. However, many outdoor lights with integrated sockets on the market have significant design flaws and safety hazards regarding their socket components when exposed to rain: when the user actually needs to use the socket function, the ordinary waterproof cover must remain open, completely negating its protective function. After the plug is inserted, the original sealing structure of the socket is damaged, creating gaps between the plug and the socket panel, and between the plug body and the metal conductor inside the socket. Rainwater can easily seep into the socket through these gaps, causing damage to the equipment.
[0003] Utility model patent CN215336159U describes an outdoor lamp with a socket box, including a top cover, an outward-opening door, two side panels, a back cover, a socket, a magnet, and a door hinge. The outward-opening door is connected to the top cover and side panels via the door hinge, and the outward-opening door can be opened outward along the front edge of the side panels. When the outward-opening door is opened, an external plug is connected to the socket, and the wire of the external plug passes through the recessed part. When the outward-opening door is closed, the magnet on the panel is attracted to the magnet on the back cover, making the outward-opening door tightly closed. Outdoor environments (such as rain, humidity, temperature changes, and corrosive substances) can cause the magnet to rust, weaken its magnetism, or completely fail, thus preventing the outward-opening door from closing tightly and affecting its rainproof effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes an outdoor lighting lamp, the technical solution of which includes:
[0005] An outdoor lighting lamp includes: a lamp post body, a light-emitting part on the lamp post body, a boss on the lamp post body, and a socket on the front side of the boss;
[0006] A sliding cover is installed on the protrusion and can slide away from or near the lamp post body. The lower ends of both sides of the sliding cover are provided with notches, and there is a gap between the sliding cover and the front side of the protrusion. The lower end of the sliding cover is provided with a clearance groove communicating with the gap.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: the front side of the boss is an inclined surface, the lower end of the inclined surface is inclined toward the side close to the lamp post body, and the socket is installed on the inclined surface.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: the upper end of the protrusion is inclined downward on the side close to the lamp post body.
[0009] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: the front side of the upper end of the sliding cover is tilted downward.
[0010] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: it further includes an elastic element, the two ends of which are connected to the boss and the sliding cover. The elastic force of the elastic element causes the sliding cover to move closer to the front side of the boss so that the notch overlaps with the side wall of the boss.
[0011] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a sealing strip is provided on the inner wall of the sliding cover, and the sealing strip abuts against the outer wall of the boss.
[0012] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: the sealing strip is provided on the inner walls of both the left and right sides of the sliding cover.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] The notch is located on both sides of the boss. When the plug is inserted into the socket, the plug is accommodated in the gap, and the plug cable extends from the clearance groove under the sliding cover. The notch overlaps with the side wall of the boss. At this time, the sliding cover still covers the socket around, which has the effect of protecting it from rain.
[0015] When it is necessary to plug or unplug the plug, slide the cover forward so that the notch is located in front of the protrusion. At this time, the plug can be inserted or unplugged through the notch. After the plug is inserted or unplugged, slide the cover again so that it moves closer to the lamp post body, so that the notch overlaps with the side wall of the protrusion. This prevents rainwater from falling into the gap through the notch, so that the outdoor lighting can provide rain protection even in rainy weather. In addition, when the user slides the cover, they can use the notch to slide the cover, making it convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 This application presents an embodiment of an outdoor lighting lamp, which includes:
[0027] The lamp post body 10 has a light-emitting part 11 and a boss 20. A socket 40 is provided on the front side of the boss 20.
[0028] A sliding cover 30 is mounted on the boss 20 and can slide to move away from or close to the lamp post body 10. The lower ends of both sides of the sliding cover 30 are provided with notches 31. There is a gap between the sliding cover 30 and the front side of the boss 20. The lower end of the sliding cover 30 is provided with a relief groove 32 that communicates with the gap.
[0029] The notch 31 is located on both sides of the boss 20. When the plug is inserted into the socket 40, the plug is accommodated in the gap. The plug cable extends from the relief groove 32 under the sliding cover 30, and the notch 31 overlaps with the side wall of the boss 20. At this time, the sliding cover 30 still covers the socket 40 around, which has the effect of protecting it from rain.
[0030] When it is necessary to plug or unplug the plug, slide the cover 30 forward, so that the notch 31 is located in front of the protrusion 20. At this time, the socket 40 can be plugged or unplugged through the notch 31. After plugging or unplugging the socket 40, slide the cover 30 again to move the cover closer to the lamp post body 10, so that the notch 31 overlaps with the side wall of the protrusion 20, preventing rainwater from falling into the gap from the notch 31, so that the outdoor lighting can also provide rain protection even in rainy weather. In addition, when the user slides the cover 30, they can slide the cover 30 by acting on the notch 31, which is convenient to use.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the sliding cover 30 is slidably mounted on the protrusion 20. The sliding cover 30 only needs to slide on the protrusion 20 to block rainwater from the gap or open the notch 31 to plug and unplug the socket 40. The connection of the magnet is eliminated, which is more reliable and solves the problem of magnet failure.
[0032] In dry weather, when using socket 40, users can place small devices on the top of the sliding cover 30 on the protrusion 20 for easy placement of items.
[0033] Referring to the attached drawings, the boss 20 has at least two sliding grooves on both sides, and the inner wall of the sliding cover 30 has sliders corresponding to the two sliding grooves. The sliders are respectively above the notch 31 to ensure that the sliding table slides smoothly on the boss 20 and avoids shaking.
[0034] In this embodiment, the front end of the slide groove passes through the front edge of the boss 20, and a stop is provided at the front end of the slide groove. When the slide cover 30 slides forward to the limit position, the stop can prevent the slide cover 30 from falling off the boss 20.
[0035] Preferably, the front side of the boss 20 is an inclined surface 21, with the lower end of the inclined surface 21 tilted towards the side closer to the lamp post body 10, and the socket 40 is mounted on the inclined surface 21. The inclined surface 21 provides a certain gap between the front side of the boss 20 and the sliding cover 30.
[0036] See attached document Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the upper end of the boss 20 is inclined downward on the side near the lamp post body 10.
[0037] When rainwater falls on the upper part of the protrusion 20, the rainwater will flow along the upper part of the protrusion 20 towards the light post body 10, preventing the rainwater on the protrusion 20 from flowing forward and reducing the amount of rainwater flowing onto the protrusion 20, thereby improving the rainproof effect between the sliding cover 30 and the protrusion 20.
[0038] See attached document Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the front side of the upper end of the sliding cover 30 is inclined downward.
[0039] When rainwater falls on the upper part of the sliding cover 30, the rainwater will flow forward along the upper part of the sliding cover 30, preventing the rainwater on the sliding cover 30 from flowing onto the protrusion 20, thereby improving the rainproof effect between the sliding cover 30 and the protrusion 20.
[0040] Preferably, the system also includes an elastic element 50, the two ends of which are connected to the boss 20 and the sliding cover 30. The elastic force of the elastic element 50 causes the sliding cover 30 to move closer to the front side of the boss 20 so that the notch 31 overlaps with the sidewall of the boss 20. (See attached figure) Figure 4 As shown, the elastic element 50 is disposed between the front side of the boss 20 and the sliding cover 30.
[0041] The elastic element 50 is a tension spring. Two hooks can be fixedly installed on the front side of the boss 20 and two hooks are installed on the inner side of the sliding cover 30. The two ends of the tension spring are respectively hooked on the hooks of the boss 20 and the sliding cover 30. When the sliding cover 30 slides forward and opens, the tension spring is stretched and generates a retraction force. After the sliding cover is released, the elastic force of the tension spring will pull the sliding cover back to its original position, so that the notch 31 and the side wall of the boss 20 remain overlapping.
[0042] When a plug is inserted into the gap, if the cable on the plug abuts against the sliding cover 30, the elastic element 50 ensures that the sliding cover 30 overcomes the resistance of the cable and makes the notch 31 overlap with the side wall of the boss 20, thus preventing rainwater from entering the gap.
[0043] Preferably, a sealing strip 60 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding cover 30. The sealing strip 60 abuts against the inner wall of the boss 20 to improve the waterproof effect between the sliding cover 30 and the boss 20 and prevent rainwater from flowing into the gap between the boss 20 and the sliding cover 30.
[0044] In this embodiment, the sliding cover 30 is provided with sealing strips 60 on its inner top wall and left and right inner walls. The sealing strips 60 are made of flexible silicone and are in sealing contact with the protrusion 20. The sealing strip on the inner top wall of the sliding cover 30 can prevent rainwater from flowing into the gap from the upper end of the protrusion 20, and the sealing strips on the left and right inner walls of the sliding cover 30 can prevent rainwater from flowing into the gap from the left and right sides of the protrusion 20.
[0045] Based on the above, the sealing strip 60 on the side wall of the sliding cover 30 is distributed on the front side of the notch 31 to prevent rainwater from entering the gap through the notch 31.
[0046] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
