[0030] Please see Figures 1-8 In this embodiment of the invention, a novel lens with a rotating bearing includes a lower heat dissipation body 4 and an upper heat dissipation body 5, which are engaged with each other. An outer cover 1 is attached to one end of both the lower and upper heat dissipation bodies 4 and 5. The interior of the outer cover 1 is hollow to accommodate the lens assembly. High borosilicate glass 2 is attached to the inner wall of the outer cover 1 to protect the lens assembly from external damage.

[0031] Mounting brackets 10 are provided on the outer walls of the lower heat sink 4 and the upper heat sink 5. Bearings 6 are provided at both ends of the mounting brackets 10. Flat washers 7 are provided at the ends of the two bearings 6 away from the mounting brackets 10 to increase the stability of the bearings 6. Connecting screws 8 are provided at the ends of the two flat washers 7 away from the bearings 6 to fix the bearings 6, flat washers 7 and mounting brackets 10 together.

[0032] Both ends of the mounting bracket 10 have copper tube sleeves 9 on their inner sides that match the positions of the bearings 6. Both copper tube sleeves 9 are fixed to the outer walls of both ends of the lower heat sink 4 to enhance the support of the bearings 6. A small mounting bracket 12 is provided on the top side wall of the end of the mounting bracket 10 furthest from the outer cover 1. An adjusting ball head screw 13 is connected through the end of the small mounting bracket 12 furthest from the mounting bracket 10 for adjusting the rotation angle of the lens. A dimming rod 131 is fixed to the end of the adjusting ball head screw 13 closest to the small mounting bracket 12. A ball head seat 11 is fixed to the end of the dimming rod 131 that passes through the small mounting bracket 12.

[0033] The inner wall of the upper heat sink 5 has a third platform 55, on which a first lamp plate 14 is attached. The lower heat sink 4 has a second platform 44 at one end near the outer cover 1. Inside the lower heat sink 4 at the end near the second platform 44, a first platform 43 is formed, on which a second lamp plate 15 is attached. A reflector 16 is screwed to the end of the first platform 43 near the second lamp plate 15 to reflect light and improve illumination. A solenoid valve 17 is screwed to the end of the second platform 44 near the outer cover 1 to control the heat dissipation performance of the lens.

[0034] The lower heat dissipation body 4 and the end near the outer cover 1 are provided with an upper groove 41. The inner wall of the upper heat dissipation body 5 that matches the upper groove 41 is provided with a lower groove 52. The inner walls of the upper groove 41 and the lower groove 52 are jointly fitted with a sealing ring 3 to enhance the sealing performance of the lens.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] Based on Embodiment 1, the structural design of the lens is further refined. A limiting boss 51 is provided on the inner wall of the upper heat dissipation body 5 to limit the movement range of the lens assembly. A lower connecting threaded hole 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the upper heat dissipation body 5 for fixing the lens onto the lamp.

[0037] The inner wall of the upper heat dissipation body 5 is fixedly connected with a boss rib 53. The bottom of the lower heat dissipation body 4, which matches the position of the boss rib 53, is provided with a boss groove 42. The top of the boss rib 53 is engaged with the boss groove 42 to enhance the connection stability between the lower heat dissipation body 4 and the upper heat dissipation body 5.

[0038] The bottom end of the mounting bracket 12 has a through hole 121. The mounting bracket 12 is screwed to the mounting bracket 10 through the through hole 121 to fix the mounting bracket 12 on the mounting bracket 10. The first lamp plate 14 is connected to the third platform 55 by screws and its side wall is coated with thermal grease. The second lamp plate 15 is connected to the first platform 43 by screws and its side wall is coated with thermal grease.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During installation, firstly, assemble the lamp panel, reflector (not shown in this article), upper heat sink 4, and lower heat sink 5. Then, insert the sealing ring 3 into the heat sink groove (i.e., the upper groove 41 and the lower groove 52), and simultaneously insert the borosilicate glass 2 into the corresponding slots of the upper heat sink 4 and the lower heat sink 5. Next, tighten the upper heat sink 4 and the lower heat sink 5 with screws. Then, pass the copper sleeve 9 through the mounting bracket 10 and insert it into the inner ring of the bearing 6; then, insert the upper and lower heat sink assemblies with the lamp panel and reflector into the mounting bracket 10, ensuring that the corresponding holes correspond to the bearing holes of the bracket; finally, use screws 8 and flat washers 7 to lock the mounting bracket 10 onto the upper heat sink 4 and the lower heat sink 5. After completing the above steps, the lens can be adjusted up and down.

[0040] When the illumination angle of the lens needs to be adjusted, rotating the adjusting ball screw 13 causes the dimmer lever 131 and the ball head seat 11 to rotate together. Since the mounting bracket 12 is connected to the mounting bracket 10 by screws, and the mounting bracket 10 has bearings 6 at both ends, the rotation adjustment of the lens can be smoothly achieved. At the same time, the introduction of the bearings 6 greatly reduces friction and wear during rotation, improving the dimmer accuracy and stability of the lens.

[0041] During lens operation, the first lamp plate 14 and the second lamp plate 15 emit light, which illuminates the target area after reflection by the reflector 16. Simultaneously, the lower heat dissipation body 4 and the upper heat dissipation body 5, through a snap-fit ​​connection and the protection of the borosilicate glass 2, effectively dissipate heat, ensuring the lens's stability under high-intensity use.

[0042] In addition, the introduction of sealing ring 3 enhances the sealing performance of the lens, preventing impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the lens, and further improving the reliability and service life of the lens.
