[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] It should be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0040] Additionally, it should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a lighting fixture 100, which is a street lamp in this embodiment. The lighting fixture 100 includes a housing assembly 110 and a support linkage assembly 120. The housing assembly 110 can be opened / closed by a rotatable connection, and combined with the limitation of the opening and closing angle by the support linkage assembly 120, a quick-opening function is achieved. This effectively solves the problems of long high-altitude operation time and high cost in the installation and maintenance of existing lighting fixtures 100.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing assembly 110 includes a lower cover 1102 and an upper cover 1101 pivotally connected thereto. That is, the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 are rotatably connected to allow the housing assembly 110 to be opened or closed, thus facilitating the opening of the lamp 100 and the installation and maintenance of internal components. When the upper cover 1101 is closed, it effectively protects the internal components of the housing assembly 110 from external environmental factors (such as dust and moisture).

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 1101 is provided with a rotating shaft 1111, and the lower cover 1102 is provided with a corresponding mounting groove 1121. The rotating shaft 1111 is inserted into the mounting groove 1121, so that the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 are rotatably connected. Through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 1111 and the mounting groove 1121, a stable rotatable connection between the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 is achieved, so that the upper cover 1101 can maintain a stable rotation trajectory during opening or closing, and is not prone to shaking or jamming.

[0044] Furthermore, the mounting slot 1121 includes a mounting hole 1132 and a guide slot 1131 communicating with the mounting hole 1132. The guide slot 1131 is configured to allow the rotating shaft 1111 to be inserted and slide along the guide slot 1131 to the mounting hole 1132, where it is fixedly connected to a locking element (not shown) at the mounting hole 1132. In other words, the operator can first insert the rotating shaft 1111 into the guide slot 1131, and then slide it along the guide slot 1131 to the mounting hole 1132, making the installation process of the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 simpler and more intuitive, reducing installation difficulty. The guide slot 1131 acts as a guide, ensuring that the rotating shaft 1111 can accurately slide to the position of the mounting hole 1132. The fixed connection between the locking element and the rotating shaft 1111 enhances the connection strength between the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102, allowing the housing assembly 110 to better maintain structural stability when subjected to external forces. Optionally, the locking element is a screw.

[0045] like Figures 4-5As shown, the support linkage assembly 120 is located within the housing assembly 110. It includes a first support member 1201 rotatably connected to the upper cover 1101 and a second support member 1202 rotatably connected to the lower cover 1102. The first and second support members 1201 are movably connected and configured to support the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102, thereby limiting the opening angle between them. The support linkage assembly 120 ensures that the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 maintain a stable angle when opened, facilitating internal operations and preventing damage that could result from excessive opening of the upper cover 1101. The rotatable connection between the first support member 1201 and the upper cover 1101, and the rotatable connection between the second support member 1202 and the lower cover 1102, forms a stable support structure. This structure ensures that the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 remain stable during opening and closing, and are not easily closed or opened suddenly due to external forces, thus improving the safety of the lamp 100 during use.

[0046] Specifically, the first support member 1201 and the second support member 1202 are connected at a connection point 1203, and the first support member 1201 and the second support member 1202 rotate around this connection point 1203. One of the first support member 1201 and the second support member 1202 is provided with a slider 1211, and the other is provided with a slide rail 1221 for the slider 1211 to slide. When the upper cover 1101 rotates relative to the lower cover 1102, the slider 1211 slides along the slide rail 1221. The cooperation between the slider 1211 and the slide rail 1221 makes the opening and closing action of the upper cover 1101 relative to the lower cover 1102 more stable and smooth. The sliding of the slider 1211 within the slide rail 1221 ensures that there are no sudden jumps or jams during the opening and closing process, thus providing a smooth user experience. By controlling the position of the slider 1211 within the slide rail 1221, the opening angle between the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 can be precisely controlled, preventing the upper cover 1101 from flipping too much and falling off. At the same time, it helps to prevent the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 from being over-opened and closed, thereby protecting the internal components of the lamp 100 from damage.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper cover 1101 has a first guide portion 1112 on the side opposite to the rotating shaft 1111, and the lower cover 1102 has a corresponding second guide portion 1122 on the side opposite to the mounting groove 1121. The upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 are closed by the guidance of the first guide portion 1112 and the second guide portion 1122. The cooperation of the first guide portion 1112 and the second guide portion 1122 ensures that the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 can be accurately aligned when closed, avoiding problems such as uneven gaps caused by misalignment or deviation. This precise alignment helps to improve the overall aesthetics and sealing performance of the housing assembly 110.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first guide portion 1112 is a guide protrusion provided on the upper cover 1101, and the second guide portion 1122 is a guide groove provided on the lower cover 1102. When the upper cover 1101 is closed, the guide protrusion is inserted into the guide groove. In other embodiments, the first guide portion 1112 can also be configured as a guide ramp, and the second guide portion 1122 can be configured as a guide groove that matches the guide ramp. When the upper cover 1101 is closed, the guide ramp will slide along the guide groove and gradually align until it is completely closed. Of course, the shape, size, and position of the first guide portion 1112 and the second guide portion 1122 can be adjusted according to different application scenarios and requirements. For example, in applications requiring higher precision alignment, a more precise guide portion design can be used. In applications requiring stronger structural support, the number and size of the guide portions can be increased.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the lamp 100 also includes a locking structure. The locking structure includes a first latching part 1113 and a second latching part 1123. The first latching part 1113 is located on the upper cover 1101, and the second latching part 1123 is located on the lower cover 1102 corresponding to the first latching part 1113. The upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 are connected by the first latching part 1113 and the second latching part 1123. This latching connection design makes the assembly and disassembly of the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 simpler and faster. Users do not need to use additional tools or equipment; they can connect or separate the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 simply by pressing or flicking, which reduces the difficulty of assembly and disassembly and improves work efficiency.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the luminaire 100 also includes a light source module 130 and a mounting bracket 131 disposed within the housing assembly 110, with the light source module 130 fixed to the mounting bracket 131. The mounting bracket 131, as a support structure, effectively prevents the light source module 130 from shaking or falling off during use, thereby ensuring the normal operation and long-term reliability of the luminaire 100. Fixing the light source module 130 to the mounting bracket 131 simplifies the installation process.

[0051] Specifically, the lower cover 1102 has a first positioning part 1124, and the mounting bracket 131 has a corresponding second positioning part 1311. The first positioning part 1124 and the second positioning part 1311 cooperate to position the mounting bracket 131, ensuring the accurate position of the mounting bracket 131 within the lower cover 1102. This precise positioning helps avoid errors during installation and ensures the correct alignment of the light source module 130 with other parts of the lamp 100, thereby improving the overall assembly accuracy of the lamp 100. Operators only need to align and fix the second positioning part 1311 of the mounting bracket 131 with the first positioning part 1124 on the lower cover 1102, without the need for complex adjustments and calibrations, thus improving installation efficiency. After fixing the mounting bracket 131 to the lower cover 1102, the light source module 130 is then installed onto the mounting bracket 131. The light source module 130 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 131 by hand-tightening screws, achieving tool-free installation.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the luminaire 100 also includes an electrical mounting plate 141 and an electrical module 140 integrated on the electrical mounting plate 141. The electrical mounting plate 141 is detachably mounted within the housing assembly 110. The electrical module 140 provides the necessary electrical support for the normal operation of the luminaire 100, and the detachable design of the electrical mounting plate 141 facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the electrical module 140.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the luminaire 100 also includes a sealing ring 150. The sealing ring 150 is connected via a sealing bridge 151, allowing the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 to press together and seal. This design ensures the internal sealing of the luminaire 100, preventing internal components from becoming damp, corroded, or short-circuited, and also preventing dust and other impurities from entering the luminaire 100 and affecting its performance and lifespan.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the luminaire 100 also includes a waterproof connector 160, which is disposed at the end of the housing assembly 110 near the electrical module 140. The waterproof connector 160 effectively prevents water from entering the electrical module 140, improving the waterproof performance of the luminaire 100 and ensuring its normal operation in harsh environments.

[0055] When the light fixture 100 needs to be opened for maintenance or to replace the light source module 130, the operator can open the upper cover 1101 and maintain the opening angle of the upper cover 1101 through the support linkage component 120. After the operation is completed, the upper cover 1101 is closed. Guided by the first guide part 1112 and the second guide part 1122, the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102 are accurately aligned, and then the first latching part 1113 and the second latching part 1123 are used to latch and connect, thus completing the closing of the light fixture 100.

[0056] In summary, the lamp 100 of this utility model achieves a quick-opening function by rotatably connecting the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102, combined with the limiting of the opening and closing angle by the support linkage component 120. Workers can open the lamp 100 more quickly during installation or maintenance, reducing the time spent working at heights, thereby lowering installation and maintenance costs and improving work efficiency. The support linkage component 120 ensures stable support for the lamp 100 during opening or closing, avoiding safety hazards caused by structural instability. Simultaneously, the support linkage component 120 effectively limits the opening and closing angle between the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1102, preventing damage to the lamp 100 due to excessive opening during opening or closing.

[0057] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
