Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of airport landing equipment technology, and in particular to a ground well mechanism for a military airport landing lighting system. Background Technology
[0002] In practical applications, military airports typically deploy vehicle-mounted landing searchlights on both sides of the landing area. When aircraft require landing illumination at night or in foggy weather, these vehicles are driven to both sides of the runway for illumination, and then returned to the hangar after use. This back-and-forth transportation results in insufficient mobility and flexibility. Furthermore, the stability of the vehicles is low after the addition of lifting functions to the mounted landing searchlights, and their size and height are also significant. The landing searchlight vehicles still require manual driving to their fixed positions on both sides of the runway, resulting in insufficient automation. Previously installed lighting equipment in underground wells is susceptible to damage from humid, salt spray, and extreme cold or heat environments, leading to frequent electronic component failures and short equipment lifespans. Additionally, the traditional well-type structures have weak waterproofing capabilities, making them prone to water ingress and malfunctions. Therefore, an improved technology is urgently needed to address these problems in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0030] The lighting assembly 3 is mounted on the platform plate 22 of the lifting mechanism 2. The lighting assembly 3 includes a base 31, a rotary motor, a rotary bracket 32, a pitch motor, and an LED light 33. The base 31 is a box-shaped structure. The rotary motor is installed inside the base 31. The output shaft of the rotary motor passes through the base 31 and is connected to the rotary bracket 32.

Then, the electrical control box 5 controls the motor of the screw jack 21 to operate. The four screws of the four-linkage screw jack 21 move upwards synchronously, causing the platform plate 22 to rise and push the lighting component 3 out of the sunken manhole 1. During the upward movement of the screws, when the limiting ring on the screw moves to the guide connecting plate 24 located at the lower end of the slide rail 23, the guide connecting plate 24 moves upwards along the slide rail 23 with the screw under the action of the limiting ring, ensuring stable support for the screw during its long extension.

After completing the landing lighting work, the system shuts down in reverse order, the lifting mechanism 2 retracts into the pit, and the cover plate 41 closes and seals. The dehumidification and temperature control components automatically detect the environment inside the manhole and operate automatically to maintain a suitable environment.
