Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a lighting device, and more particularly to a wind lamp. Background Technology
[0002] A wind lamp, as the name suggests, is a lamp used to prevent flames from being blown out by the wind. It is usually practical and aesthetically pleasing. Wind lamps are a traditional type of lamp, but with the rise of retro trends, they are slowly returning to life. However, if a wind lamp is used to burn an open flame, its lighting effect, safety, and air pollution are the standards for measuring its superiority.
[0003] Traditional Chinese lanterns consist of a base for holding a candle and a lamp holder mounted on the base. The lamp holder has a top cover and an observation window on its outer wall to allow light from the candle on the base to shine through. The observation window also serves to shield the candle from external dust, preventing it from affecting the candle. However, after a period of use, ash and dust accumulate on both the inner and outer surfaces of the observation window. Cleaning it requires extinguishing the candle and reaching inside to wipe it, which is very troublesome. Furthermore, the limited internal space makes cleaning and wiping extremely inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wind lamp that allows personnel to easily clean the inside and outside of the observation window.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a wind lamp, including a base, a lamp holder mounted thereon, and a top cover located at the top of the lamp holder. The outer wall of the lamp holder is provided with an observation window, and a through groove is opened on the outer wall of the lamp holder to accommodate the observation window. A U-shaped expansion plate is provided on the inner wall of the through groove. A support frame is rotatably mounted in the through groove on the side of the expansion plate away from the inside of the lamp holder. One end of the support frame is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through groove through a rotating rod. The other end of the support frame is provided with an opening for the observation window to enter and exit. A hollow groove is opened on the inner wall of the support frame for the edge of the observation window to be embedded. The upper end of the hollow groove communicates with the opening.
[0006] Preferably, a positioning block is slidably disposed in the slot, a positioning bolt is inserted through the end of the support frame facing the opening, and an internal thread is provided on the positioning block to be screwed into the positioning bolt.
[0007] Preferably, a torsion spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod, with one end of the torsion spring connected to the outer wall of the support frame and the other end connected to the inner wall of the through groove.
[0008] Preferably, the expansion plate is fitted with a flexible pad on the side facing the support frame.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting rod and a placement seat are provided opposite to each other on the outer wall of the lamp holder. The limiting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the lamp holder through a rotating rod, and the placement seat has a placement groove for one end of the limiting rod to extend into.
[0010] Preferably, a fixing bolt is screwed onto the placement seat, and the bottom end of the fixing bolt passes through the placement groove.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By opening a through groove on the lamp holder and rotatably setting a support frame inside the through groove, with one end of the support frame rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through groove and the other end opening for the observation window to enter and exit, compared with the prior art, this utility model eliminates the need for personnel to manually reach into the lamp holder to wipe the observation window without extinguishing the candle. By rotating the support frame, the observation window can be taken out from the opening for wiping and then put back, which facilitates the cleaning of the observation window. In addition, by opening a slot on the support frame for the edge of the observation window to be embedded, it is convenient for personnel to take the observation window out of the support frame and put it in, reducing the amount of labor required for personnel to disassemble and reinstall the observation window from the support frame.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a wind lamp includes a base 1 and a lamp holder 2 mounted on its upper side. In this embodiment, the lamp holder 2 is hexagonal in shape, with a top cover 3 at the top. All six sides of the outer wall of the lamp holder 2 have through slots 5 for accommodating observation windows 4. A U-shaped extension plate 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the through slot 5. A support frame 7 is mounted inside the through slot 5 on the side of the extension plate 6 furthest from the interior of the lamp holder 2. The bottom end of the support frame 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the inner wall of the through slot 5 via a rotating rod 8. A torsion spring 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 8, with one end of the torsion spring 14 connected to the outer wall of the support frame 7. Its other end is connected to the inner wall of the through groove 5. Its purpose is to be able to be reset by the torsion spring 14 after the support frame 7 is driven. The upper end of the support frame 7 is provided with an opening 9 for the observation window 4 to enter and exit, and the inner wall of the support frame 7 is provided with a hollow groove 10 for the edge of the observation window 4 to be embedded. The upper end of the hollow groove 10 is connected to the opening 9. A positioning block 11 is slidably arranged in the hollow groove 10 along the length of the support frame 7. A positioning bolt 12 is passed through the outer wall of the end of the support frame 7 facing the opening 9. The positioning block 11 is provided with an internal thread 13 that is screwed into the positioning bolt 12.
[0024] A flexible pad 15 is embedded on the side of the extension plate 6 facing the support frame 7. The flexible pad 15 is arranged in a U-shape. Its purpose is to provide a certain shielding effect between the support frame 7 and the extension plate 6 when the support frame 7 is reset and attached to the extension plate 6, thereby reducing the gas generated by the candle burning on the base 1 from flowing out of the through groove 5.
[0025] Limiting rods 16 and placement seats 18 are provided on all six sides of the outer wall of the lamp holder 2. The limiting rods 16 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the lamp holder 2 through rotating rods 17. A placement groove 19 is provided on the placement seat 18 for the end of the limiting rod 16 away from the rotating rod 17 to extend into. A top fixing bolt 20 is screwed onto the placement seat 18, and the bottom end of the top fixing bolt 20 passes into the placement groove 19.
[0026] When personnel do not need to wipe or clean observation window 4, such as Figure 1 As shown, one end of the limiting rod 16 is located in the placement groove 19, and the bottom end of the fixing bolt 20 fixes the limiting rod 16 in the placement groove 19. The support frame 7 is located in the through groove 5. The torsion spring 14 is in a torsional state. The observation window 4 is located inside the opening 9 of the support frame 7 and is embedded in the support frame 7. The positioning block 11 is located at the upper end inside the empty groove 10. The positioning bolt 12 and the internal thread 13 on the positioning block 11 are screwed together. The observation window 4 is limited in the support frame 7.
[0027] When personnel need to wipe and clean the observation window 4, first rotate the top fixing bolt 20 so that it does not fix one end of the limit rod 16. Then rotate the limit rod 16 so that it does not obstruct the front of the support frame 7. The torsion spring 14 begins to reset and drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate. The rotating rod 8 drives the support frame 7 to rotate around the central axis of the rotating rod 8 by a certain angle, so that the upper end of the support frame 7 is disengaged from the through groove 5. Then rotate the positioning bolt 12 to disengage it from the positioning block 11. After screwing in the connection, the positioning block 11 in the empty slot 10 is removed from the opening 9. At this time, the personnel can take out the observation window 4 from the support frame 7 for wiping and cleaning. There is no need for personnel to reach into the lamp holder 2 or extinguish the candle. After cleaning, the lamp holder 2 is reinserted into the support frame 7. The positioning block 11 is slid into the upper end of the empty slot 10 and the positioning bolt 12 is screwed in. Then the upper end of the support frame 7 is pushed back into the through slot 5. One end of the limit rod 16 is reinserted into the placement slot 19 and secured by the top fixing bolt 20.
[0028] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
