Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting control box technology, and specifically to a protective device for a lighting control box. Background Technology
[0002] A lighting control box, also known as a lighting controller, is a device that centrally controls a lighting system. It controls the connection and disconnection of lighting circuits to achieve intelligent control of the lighting system. Specifically, it can control parameters such as the on / off state, brightness, and color of lights to meet different usage environments and needs. In addition, lighting control boxes also have functions such as improving energy efficiency, enhancing lighting effects, and improving lighting safety. There are various types of lighting control boxes, including ordinary lighting control boxes and explosion-proof area lighting control boxes. Ordinary lighting control boxes are widely used in various buildings and places, such as office buildings, shopping malls, and schools; while explosion-proof area lighting control boxes are specifically used in flammable and explosive industries such as coal mines, petroleum, and chemical industries, as well as places requiring strict safety monitoring such as tank farms and oil depots.
[0003] In the existing technology, lighting control boxes are installed outdoors to control outdoor lighting equipment, such as street lights and landscape lights. Lighting control boxes are usually equipped with heat dissipation vents. In rainy weather, rainwater may enter the box through the heat dissipation vents, causing water to accumulate inside. This water accumulation may damage electrical components and may also pose a safety hazard.
[0004] Therefore, a protective device for the lighting control box is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective device for a lighting control box in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A protective device for a lighting control box includes a base, a lighting control box body on top of the base, mounting frames on both sides of the lighting control box body, a connecting plate inside one of the mounting frames, a cooling fan on the connecting plate, dust covers on both mounting frames, a canopy on top of the lighting control box body, a rainproof mechanism on the surface of the lighting control box body for automatically sensing and preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body through the dust cover, and the rainproof mechanism is located on the surface of the canopy, which is equipped with a telescopic mechanism for extending the shielding area.
[0008] Furthermore, the rainproof mechanism includes two rectangular plates, which are installed on the rear side of the lighting control box body. Two lead screws are rotatably mounted on the two rectangular plates, and movable rods are threaded onto the outer walls of the two lead screws.
[0009] Furthermore, fixed rods are installed on both sides of the movable rod, and rain covers are installed on the surfaces of the two fixed rods, with the rain covers in contact with the lighting control box body.
[0010] Furthermore, gears are installed on the top of both lead screws, and toothed belts are meshed on the outer walls of the two gears. A motor is installed on the top of one of the gears, and the motor is mounted on the surface of the canopy.
[0011] Furthermore, a rain sensor is installed on the surface of the canopy, and a control component is also installed on the surface of the canopy.
[0012] Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism includes an extension canopy that is slidably installed inside the shielding canopy. An electric push rod is installed on the surface of the shielding canopy, and a connecting rod is installed at the output end of the electric push rod, with the connecting rod also installed on the surface of the extension canopy.
[0013] Furthermore, the number of both the electric push rod and the connecting rod is set to two, and they are symmetrically distributed.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] This invention, through the arrangement of lead screws, rain sensors, and rain covers, detects rainwater during use. When rainwater is detected, a signal is transmitted to the control component, which then triggers a starter motor, driving the connected gears to rotate. With the cooperation of the gear belt, the two gears rotate synchronously, causing the two lead screws to rotate accordingly. This drives the moving rods downwards, causing the two fixed rods and two rain covers to move downwards synchronously. The two rain covers can cover the mounting frame and dust cover, preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body through the dust cover. This achieves automatic coverage of the mounting frame and dust cover, preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body and damaging its internal electrical components, thus improving practicality.
[0016] This utility model, through the setting of electric push rod, extension canopy and connecting rod, etc., by activating electric push rod, driving connecting rod to move forward, and extension canopy to move accordingly, can expand the shielding area, making it easier for technicians to protect the lighting control box from rain or sunlight when maintaining the main body, thus improving the maintenance environment.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 , Figure 5 As shown, a protective device for a lighting control box includes a base 1, a lighting control box body 2 on top of the base 1, mounting frames 3 on both sides of the lighting control box body 2, a connecting plate 5 inside one of the mounting frames 3, a cooling fan 6 on the connecting plate 5, dust covers 4 on both mounting frames 3, a canopy 7 on top of the lighting control box body 2, and a rainproof mechanism 8 on the surface of the lighting control box body 2 for automatically sensing and preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body 2 through the dust cover 4. The rainproof mechanism 8 is located on the surface of the canopy 7, and the canopy 7 has a telescopic mechanism 9 for extending the covering area. In this embodiment, during use, the rainproof mechanism 8 will automatically detect... If rain is detected, the system will automatically activate to cover the two mounting frames 3 and the two dust covers 4, preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body 2 through the dust covers 4 and damaging its internal electrical components. However, this will not affect the cooling fan 6's function of dissipating heat from the internal electrical components of the lighting control box body 2. If the internal electrical components of the lighting control box body 2 malfunction and require technical personnel to repair them, the covering area can be expanded through the telescopic mechanism 9 to block rainwater or sunlight. This achieves automatic coverage of the mounting frames 3 and dust covers 4, preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body 2 and damaging its internal electrical components, thus improving practicality. Furthermore, the expandable covering area improves the repair environment for technical personnel.
[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the rainproof mechanism 8 includes two rectangular plates 801, which are installed on the rear side of the lighting control box body 2. Two lead screws 802 are rotatably mounted on the two rectangular plates 801, and a moving rod 803 is threaded onto the outer wall of the two lead screws 802. In this embodiment, when the two lead screws 802 rotate, they drive the moving rod 803 to move longitudinally, thereby adjusting the height of the moving rod 803.
[0030] like Figure 2-4As shown, fixed rods 804 are installed on both sides of the movable rod 803. Rain covers 805 are installed on the surface of the two fixed rods 804, and the rain covers 805 are in contact with the lighting control box body 2. In this embodiment, when the movable rod 803 moves downward, it drives the two fixed rods 804 and the two rain covers 805 to move downward synchronously. The two rain covers 805 can cover the mounting frame 3 and the dust cover 4, preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body 2 through the dust cover 4.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, gears 806 are mounted on the top of both lead screws 802, and toothed belts 807 are meshed on the outer walls of the two gears 806. A motor 808 is mounted on the top of one of the gears 806, and the motor 808 is mounted on the surface of the canopy 7. In this embodiment, by starting the motor 808, the gear 806 connected to it is driven to rotate. With the cooperation of the toothed belt 807, the two gears 806 rotate synchronously, and the two lead screws 802 rotate accordingly.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, a rain sensor 809 is installed on the surface of the canopy 7, and a control component 810 is installed on the surface of the canopy 7. In this embodiment, rainwater is detected by the rain sensor 809. When rainwater is detected, a signal is transmitted to the control component 810, which then triggers the start motor 808.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 9 includes an extension canopy 901, which is slidably installed inside the shielding canopy 7. An electric push rod 902 is installed on the surface of the shielding canopy 7, and a connecting rod 903 is installed at the output end of the electric push rod 902. The connecting rod 903 is installed on the surface of the extension canopy 901. In this embodiment, by activating the electric push rod 902, the connecting rod 903 is driven to move forward, and the extension canopy 901 moves accordingly, which can expand the shielding area, making it easier for technicians to shield the lighting control box body 2 from rain or sunlight and improve the maintenance environment.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the number of electric push rods 902 and connecting rods 903 are both set to two and are symmetrically distributed. In this embodiment, the stability of pushing the extension shed 901 is improved by setting the number of electric push rods 902 and connecting rods 903.
[0035] In summary, during use, the rainproof mechanism 8 automatically detects whether it is raining. If rain is detected, it will automatically activate to cover the two mounting frames 3 and the two dust covers 4, preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body 2 through the dust covers 4 and damaging its internal electrical components. However, it will not affect the cooling fan 6's heat dissipation of the internal electrical components of the lighting control box body 2. If the internal electrical components of the lighting control box body 2 malfunction and require technical personnel to repair them, the covering area can be expanded through the telescopic mechanism 9 to block rain or sunlight, thereby automatically covering the mounting frames 3 and dust covers 4, preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body 2 and damaging its internal electrical components, improving practicality, and expanding the covering area to improve the repair environment for technicians. When the two lead screws 802 rotate, they drive the moving rod 803 to move longitudinally, thereby adjusting the height of the moving rod 803. When the moving rod 803 moves downwards... The motor drives two fixed rods 804 and two rain covers 805 to move downwards synchronously. The two rain covers 805 can cover the mounting frame 3 and the dust cover 4, preventing rainwater from entering the lighting control box body 2 through the dust cover 4. The motor 808 drives the gear 806 connected to it to rotate. With the cooperation of the toothed belt 807, the two gears 806 rotate synchronously, and the two lead screws 802 rotate accordingly. The rain sensor 809 detects rainwater. When rainwater is detected, it will transmit a signal to the control component 810. The control component 810 will then trigger the motor 808, which will start the electric push rod 902, driving the connecting rod 903 to move forward. The extension canopy 901 moves accordingly, which can expand the shielding area and make it easier for technicians to shield the lighting control box body 2 from rain or sunlight when they are repairing it, thus improving the maintenance environment. The stability of pushing the extension canopy 901 is improved by setting the number of electric push rods 902 and connecting rods 903.
