[0035] The utility model will be further described in detail below with the specific implementation and the drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments adopt the relevant similar element mark. In the following embodiments, many details are described in order to make the application be better understood. However, the person skilled in the art can easily realize that part of the features can be omitted in different cases, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, methods. In some cases, some operations related to the application are not shown or described in the specification in order to avoid the core part of the application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for the person skilled in the art, detailed description of the related operation is not necessary, and they can completely understand the related operation according to the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0036] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various embodiments. Meanwhile, the steps or actions in the method description can also be sequentially replaced or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to the person skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment, and do not mean that the sequence is necessary, unless otherwise stated that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0037] The serial numbers of the components in this paper, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects, and do not have any sequence or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" in this application include direct and indirect connection (coupling) unless otherwise specified.

[0038] In the related art, in order to protect the external wire of the outdoor lighting device, prevent the wire from being corroded and damaged due to sun exposure, rain, and bird excretion, a metal pipe is usually wrapped outside the external wire. The metal pipe wrapped outside the external wire lacks fixation, so it will shake due to wind and other reasons. In this way, the metal pipe not only makes abnormal sound during use, but also breaks due to shaking fatigue. The broken metal pipe may also pierce the external wire, thereby increasing the safety hazard.

[0039] In order to solve the above problems, a wire protection mechanism 4 is provided in the embodiments of the application, please refer to Figures 1-3 The wire protection mechanism 4 includes a metal pipe 1, a fixing mechanism 2 and a locking mechanism 3, and the metal pipe 1, the fixing mechanism 2 and the locking mechanism 3 are all hollow structures in communication with each other for the external wire 6 of the outdoor device 5 to pass through them;

[0040] The fixing mechanism 2 is fixedly arranged at one end of the metal pipe 1. The fixing mechanism 2 includes an assembly part 21 exposed to the metal pipe 1, and the outer diameter of the assembly part 21 is greater than the outer diameter of the metal pipe 1.

[0041] The locking mechanism 3 includes a first locking member 31 and a second locking member 32 distributed in sequence in the axial direction of the metal pipe 1 from the direction close to the metal pipe 1 to the direction away from the metal pipe 1; the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 each have a first through hole and a second through hole penetrating in the axial direction of the metal pipe 1, and the inner diameter of the first through hole is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the metal pipe 1 and less than the outer diameter of the fitting portion 21; the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are connected to each other and enclose a containing space 33 containing the fitting portion 21; the fitting portion 21 is fixedly arranged in the containing space 33.

[0042] The locking mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the outdoor equipment 5, and the external wire 6 is sequentially arranged through the second locking member 32, the fixing mechanism 2, the first locking member 31 and the metal pipe 1 and then connected to other equipment.

[0043] The wire protection mechanism 4 in the embodiment of the application is used for protecting the external wire 6 of the outdoor equipment 5. The external wire 6 refers to the wire exposed outside the equipment shell of the outdoor equipment 5. If this part of the wire is not protected, it may be corroded and damaged due to sun exposure, rain and bird excretion. Therefore, the wire protection mechanism 4 in the embodiment of the application is used for protecting the external wire 6, and the metal pipe 1 in the wire protection mechanism 4 serves as the main protection part. The metal pipe 1 can wrap the part of the external wire 6 that needs to be protected, thereby preventing the external wire 6 from being directly exposed and avoiding the risk of corrosion caused by the exposure of the wire. According to the number, length and size of the external wire 6, the metal pipe 1 can be correspondingly arranged.

[0044] The metal pipe 1 wrapped outside the external wire 6 has already played a protective role on the external wire 6. In order to fix the metal pipe 1 and prevent the metal pipe 1 from shaking due to wind blowing, the wire protection mechanism 4 in the embodiment of the application further includes a fixing mechanism 2 and a locking mechanism 3. The fixing mechanism 2 and the locking mechanism 3 are similar to the metal pipe 1 and both have a hollow structure for allowing the wire to be arranged therein.

[0045] The fixing mechanism 2 is used to form a fixed connection with the metal pipe 1, so that the metal pipe 1 has a means of forming a fixed connection with the outside. Specifically, the fixing mechanism 2 has a fitting portion 21 exposed outside the metal pipe 1 after being connected to the metal pipe 1, and the fitting portion 21 is used to connect the metal pipe 1 with the outside. In order to connect the fitting portion 21 with the outside without affecting the wiring connection of the metal pipe 1, the outer diameter of the fitting portion 21 is set to be greater than the outer diameter of the metal pipe 1 under the premise that it does not affect the thickness of the wire that can be accommodated by the metal pipe 1, so as to ensure that the inner diameter of the fitting portion 21 is not too small and to limit the connection between the fixing mechanism 2 and the metal pipe 1.

[0046] In order to fix the metal pipe 1 by the fixing mechanism 2, the embodiment of the application further comprises a locking mechanism 3, wherein the locking mechanism 3 forms a containing space 33, and the assembling part 21 of the fixing mechanism 2 can be fixed in the containing space 33. Since the assembling part 21 is fixed in the containing space 33 of the locking mechanism 3, and the assembling part 21 is fixedly connected with the metal pipe 1, the metal pipe 1 is fixedly connected with the locking mechanism 3 through the fixing mechanism 2.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 In order to accommodate the assembling part 21, the locking mechanism 3 comprises two parts separated in advance, i.e. a first locking part 31 and a second locking part 32, and the first locking part 31 and the second locking part 32 are detachably connected with each other; wherein the first locking part 31 is arranged close to the metal pipe 1, and the second locking part 32 is farther away from the metal pipe 1 than the first locking part 31; when the first locking part 31 and the second locking part 32 are connected with each other, the containing space 33 is formed between the first locking part 31 and the second locking part 32. In addition, the first locking part 31 and the second locking part 32 each have a through hole penetrating along the axial direction of the metal pipe 1, i.e. a first through hole and a second through hole; wherein the first through hole is used for allowing the metal pipe 1 to pass through, and the inner diameter of the first through hole is greater than the outer diameter of the metal pipe 1 and smaller than the outer diameter of the assembling part 21, so that the first through hole can limit the assembling part 21 to pass through, and the assembling part 21 can be locked in the containing space 33 by cooperating with the second locking part 32, so as to realize the connection between the metal pipe 1 and the locking mechanism 3. The second through hole is used for allowing the external wire 6 to pass through, so that the external wire 6 can pass through the metal pipe 1.

[0048] Finally, the locking mechanism 3 is fixedly connected with the outdoor equipment 5, so as to realize the fixed connection between the metal pipe 1 and the outdoor equipment 5. The external wire 6 is sequentially passed through the second locking part 32, the fixing mechanism 2, the first locking part 31 and the metal pipe 1 in order. In the state that the metal pipe 1 is fixed to the outdoor equipment 5 through the fixing mechanism 2 and the locking mechanism 3 in order, the metal pipe 1 generally does not shake, so that the metal pipe 1 does not produce abnormal sound, and will not be damaged due to shaking fatigue.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 4To facilitate the connection between the fixing mechanism 2 and the metal pipe 1, simplify the connection process, and reduce or avoid the modification of the metal pipe 1, the fixing mechanism 2 specifically includes an inner pipe 22 extending along the axial direction of the metal pipe 1, and an outer pipe 23 sleeved on the outer wall of the inner pipe 22. The inner pipe 22 is provided with an external threaded connector 24 at one end close to the metal pipe 1, which is used to be screwed into the inner wall of the metal pipe 1 to be fixedly connected with the metal pipe 1. The outer pipe 23 is bent and connected to the end of the inner pipe 22 away from the metal pipe 1, and the outer pipe 23 forms the assembly part 21. That is, the fixing mechanism 2 includes the inner pipe 22 used to be screwed with the metal pipe 1, wherein the inner pipe 22 is provided with external threads, and by screwing the inner pipe 22 into the inner wall of the metal pipe 1, a fixed connection between the inner pipe 22 and the metal pipe 1 is formed. The corresponding metal pipe 1 can have internal threads, or the metal pipe 1 can only be provided with an inner ring structure at the port for the inner pipe 22 to be screwed into. The outer pipe 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the inner pipe 22, and the outer pipe 23 forms the assembly part 21, so the outer diameter of the outer pipe 23 is greater than the inner diameter of the metal pipe 1, and the outer pipe 23 is left outside the metal pipe 1, which can be used to connect other components on the one hand, and limit the depth of the inner pipe 22 screwed into the metal pipe 1 on the other hand, so as to ensure that the fixing mechanism 2 is fixedly connected with the metal pipe 1 while having a part exposed outside the metal pipe 1.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, the external threaded connector 24 provided on the inner pipe 22 can have only one or less than one turn of threads, as long as it can be screwed into the metal pipe 1 to form a fixed connection. Specifically, the metal pipe 1 can be a spiral corrugated pipe.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, in order to improve the connection strength between the metal pipe 1 and the fixing mechanism 2, the end of the metal pipe 1 can be clamped between the outer pipe 23 and the inner pipe 22. That is, the outer pipe 23 and the inner pipe 22 have a certain gap therebetween, which can accommodate the pipe wall of the metal pipe 1. In this structure, the outer pipe 23 is equivalent to being sleeved outside the metal pipe 1.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the fixing mechanism 2 itself, the outer pipe 23 and the inner pipe 22 can be specifically an integrally formed structure, and the outer pipe 23 extends towards the metal pipe 1 after being circumferentially bent away from the end of the inner pipe 22 away from the metal pipe 1. The outer pipe 23 and the inner pipe 22 can be integrally formed based on the same material, which can maximize the structural strength of the outer pipe 23 and the inner pipe 22 as a whole, so as to prevent the separation between the inner pipe 22 and the outer pipe 23.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, in order to achieve the fixed connection of the outer tube 23 placed in the accommodation space 33, the assembling part 21 can further include an elastic anti-loosening piece 25, which is sleeved outside the metal pipe 1 and elastically abuts between the end of the outer tube 23 and the inner wall of the locking mechanism 3. By providing the elastic anti-loosening piece 25, a pre-tightening force between the outer tube 23 and the inner wall of the locking mechanism 3 can be provided to prevent the separation between the first locking piece 31 and the second locking piece 32. Correspondingly, the first locking piece 31 and the second locking piece 32 can be fixedly connected through threaded cooperation. In addition, the first locking piece 31 and the second locking piece 32 can also be fixedly connected based on a buckle or the like. The elastic anti-loosening piece 25 can be provided with one or more, and each elastic anti-loosening piece 25 can be separately provided.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, in order to form the fixed connection between the locking mechanism 3 and the outdoor equipment 5, the first locking piece 31 can specifically include an internally threaded pipe 34, the second locking piece 32 includes an externally threaded pipe 35 and a flange 36 fixed to the end of the externally threaded pipe 35 away from the first locking piece 31; the externally threaded pipe 35 is arranged through the assembling through hole 52 of the baffle 51 of the outdoor equipment 5, and the outer diameter of the flange 36 is greater than the inner diameter of the assembling through hole 52; the internally threaded pipe 34 is fixedly connected with the baffle 51 through the externally threaded pipe 35 and the flange 36. In other words, the first locking piece 31 and the second locking piece 32 are each fixedly connected through threaded cooperation; and the second locking piece 32 has the externally threaded pipe 35 and the flange 36, and the externally threaded pipe 35 is arranged through the assembling through hole 52 of the baffle 51 of the outdoor equipment 5, so that the flange 36 and the internally threaded pipe 34 are arranged on the two sides of the baffle 51; by screwing the threaded connection between the externally threaded pipe 35 and the internally threaded pipe 34, the baffle 51 can be clamped based on the flange 36 and the externally threaded pipe 35, thereby forming the fixed connection between the locking mechanism 3 and the baffle 51. And the baffle 51 itself is fixed to the outdoor equipment 5, so as to achieve the fixed connection between the locking mechanism 3 and the outdoor equipment 5. In addition, the assembling through hole 52 on the baffle 51 of the outdoor equipment 5 is also the part through which the external wire 6 of the outdoor equipment 5 is arranged.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to protect the external wire 6 and prevent the external wire 6 from being worn due to excessive bending, the wire protection mechanism 4 can further include a spring protection piece 7, which is sleeved on the end of the external wire 6.
