Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of street light heat dissipation technology, specifically to a street light with active cooling and dust removal. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, streetlights generally have high power and generate a lot of heat. Most streetlights rely on heat sinks in the lamp housing for heat dissipation. When streetlights are lit for a long time and continue to work at high temperatures, it will affect the luminous efficiency of the lamp panel, accelerate the light decay of the light source, and reduce the lifespan of the lamp. Furthermore, if air convection is used for heat dissipation, dust in the environment can easily enter the lamp housing and accumulate on the circuit control board, which will also seriously affect the luminous efficiency of the streetlight. Utility Model Content

When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.
[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an active cooling and dust-removing street light, including a lamp panel 1 and a lamp housing 2. A circuit control board 5 is installed inside the lamp housing 2. Dustproof nets 3 are installed on both side walls of the lamp housing 2's inner cavity. The dustproof nets 3 prevent dust from the external environment from entering the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2, which helps improve the operational stability of the circuit control board 5. A fan 15 is positioned opposite the dustproof net 3. The fan 15 is driven by a motor 7 with forward and reverse rotation functions, so that the fan 15 rotates in both directions sequentially, and the airflow direction of the two fans 15 remains consistent. A temperature sensor 6 is also installed inside the lamp housing 2's inner cavity to monitor the temperature of the lamp housing 2's inner cavity in real time. The circuit control board 5 includes a constant current circuit and a motor control circuit. The constant current circuit drives the LED chip to emit light, and the motor control circuit controls the motor 7 to intermittently rotate in both directions based on the temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 6.
[0021] Specifically, the output end of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft 8. Two first rotating shafts 8 are provided, each rotatably connected to one side of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2. A first bevel gear 9 is mounted on the outer surface of the middle portion of each first rotating shaft 8. The first bevel gear 9 meshes with a second bevel gear 10. The middle portion of the shaft of the second bevel gear 10 is rotatably connected to a second support plate 17. The second support plate 17 is a strip-shaped plate mounted on the side wall of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2. The fan 15 is mounted at the end of the shaft of the second bevel gear 10. A third bevel gear 11 is also mounted on each of the two first rotating shafts 8. The third bevel gear 11 meshes with a fourth bevel gear 12. Both fourth bevel gears 12 are mounted on a second rotating shaft 13, the middle portion of which is rotatably connected to a first support plate 14. After the motor 7 drives one of the first rotating shafts 8 to rotate, the bevel gears will drive the fans 15 on both sides of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2 to rotate simultaneously in opposite directions. One fan 15 is used to blow cold air from the outside environment into the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2, while the other fan 15 is used to blow hot air from the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2 into the outside environment. Because the motor 7 rotates intermittently in both directions, the rotation direction of the fans 15 on both sides of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2 is changed intermittently. On the one hand, the direction of airflow through the circuit control board 5 is changed, which is conducive to heat dissipation of the circuit control board 5, so as to achieve the purpose of active cooling and improve the luminous efficiency of the street light. On the other hand, the direction of airflow through the dustproof net 3 is changed, which makes it easier to clean the dust attached to the dustproof net 3 on both sides of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2 in turn.
[0022] It should be noted that the fan 15 can also be a cooling fan with a forward and reverse rotation motor. In this case, the fan 15 and the forward and reverse rotation motor are integrated together. The circuit control board 5 controls the forward and reverse rotation motors corresponding to the fan 15 on both sides of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2 to realize the intermittent forward and reverse rotation of the fan 15. Of course, other transmission methods can also be used to realize the intermittent forward and reverse rotation of the fan 15, all of which are within the protection scope of this application.
[0023] Preferably, a base 4 is also installed on the side wall of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2. The end of the base 4 away from the side wall of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2 extends to the middle of the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2 and the circuit control board 5 is installed thereon. The dustproof net 3 is set in the middle of the side wall of the lamp housing 2, so that the airflow is directly directed to the circuit control board 5, which helps to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the circuit control board 5.
[0024] Preferably, a through hole 16 is provided on the bottom wall of the lamp housing 2, which can promptly drain rainwater that enters the inner cavity of the lamp housing 2 through the dustproof net 3.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The power control board 5 of this utility model includes a constant current circuit and a motor control circuit. The constant current circuit is used to drive the LED chip so that the LED chip emits light. When the temperature sensor 6 detects that the temperature inside the lamp housing 2 is higher than the set value, the motor 7 starts to work, driving the fan 15 to rotate intermittently in both directions. When the fans 15 at both ends of the lamp housing 2 rotate in the forward direction, cold air is drawn in from one end and hot air is blown out from the other end, blowing away the dust on the dustproof mesh 3 on one side at the same time. After working for a period of time, the fan 15 rotates in the reverse direction, and the airflow direction is exactly the opposite. The end that receives cold air becomes the end that delivers hot air, and the end that delivers hot air blows the hot air out of the cavity, while blowing away the dust on the dustproof mesh 3 on the other side. In this way, the fan 15 rotates in both directions for a period of time, forming a strong air convection to actively dissipate heat from the circuit control board 5. At the same time, while dissipating heat, the fan 15 blows out the dust, blowing away the accumulated dust on the dustproof mesh 3 to achieve the effect of cleaning.
