Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting fixtures, and in particular to a multi-stage drive structure for the arm of a lighting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of searchlights and stage lighting, rotating lamp heads are commonly used equipment. Their basic structure includes a base, an arm support, and a lamp head. The arm support is typically designed with a U-shape, and the lamp head is mounted between two opposing arms of the arm support via a rotating connection, allowing for flexible rotation of the lamp head. The bottom of the arm support is rotatably connected to the base, enabling the entire arm support to rotate relative to the base, thereby adjusting the lighting angle of the lamp.

[0003] Currently, there are several pressing issues to be addressed in the technical solutions for driving the rotation of the arm bracket. A common approach is to house the drive motor inside the arm bracket to rotate it relative to the base. However, this design requires the bottom of the arm bracket, specifically the lateral connection between the two opposing arms, to remain relatively flat to provide sufficient installation space for the drive motor. In practical applications, this requirement imposes numerous limitations on the structural design of the arm bracket. For example, in scenarios where the overall appearance and compactness of the lighting fixture are critical, maintaining a flat bottom for the arm bracket may result in a less aesthetically pleasing and streamlined shape for the fixture, and may also make it difficult to meet the space constraints of installation.

[0004] Another approach is to increase the longitudinal space of the lateral connection of the boom support to create sufficient space for the drive motor installation. However, this approach also has drawbacks. On the one hand, increasing the longitudinal space will increase the amount of material used in the boom support, raising production costs; on the other hand, this structural change is not conducive to the rational utilization of the internal space of the boom support. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-stage drive structure for the arm of a lamp.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include:

[0008] Furthermore, the driven wheel is connected to a central shaft at its center; the bottom of the central shaft is fixedly connected to a support frame inside the arm bracket; and the top of the central shaft is fixedly connected to the support frame via a support plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a waterproof control box is rotatably connected to the top of the third driven wheel; a second bearing and an oil seal are fitted into the waterproof control box and the inner side of the third driven wheel; the waterproof control box is connected to the interior of the connecting seat.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly provided on the top of the third driven wheel; the limiting plate is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves; and a push-pull rod that cooperates with the limiting grooves is fixedly connected to the arm bracket to limit the rotation position of the arm bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the push-pull rod is disposed within the guide block; the guide block is fixedly connected to the support frame within the arm bracket; a limit block is fixedly connected to the push-pull rod; the guide block is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the limit block; and a push-pull handle extending out of the arm bracket is connected to the end of the push-pull rod away from the limit plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a bearing seat is provided outside the connecting seat; the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arm bracket; a first bearing is provided between the bearing seat and the connecting seat.

[0013] Furthermore, two first bearings are provided, located at the upper and lower ends of the bearing housing, respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, both the connecting seat and the bearing seat have through holes in the middle.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This multi-stage drive structure eliminates the requirements of traditional structures regarding the flatness of the bottom (lateral connection part) of the arm bracket or the height of the longitudinal space.

[0026] For an example, please refer to... Figure 1-4 As shown:

[0027] A multi-stage drive structure for a lamp arm includes a drive motor 110 fixedly mounted inside an arm support 100; a drive wheel 111 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 110; a driven wheel 113 is connected to the drive wheel 111 via a first connecting belt 112; a second driven wheel 115 is coaxially mounted on the driven wheel 113; the second driven wheel 115 is connected to a third driven wheel 117 via a second connecting belt 116; the third driven wheel 117 is fixedly connected to a connecting seat 120; the connecting seat 120 is fixedly connected to a lamp base; and a first bearing 130 is provided between the arm support 100 and the connecting seat 120.

[0028] This multi-stage drive structure eliminates the requirements of traditional structures regarding the flatness of the bottom (lateral connection part) of the arm bracket 100 or the vertical space increase. By setting a multi-stage transmission structure inside the arm bracket 100, drive can be achieved without relying on the space at the bottom of the arm bracket 100 with a specific shape, making the design of the arm bracket 100 more flexible and effectively avoiding the waste of internal space caused by structural limitations. The multi-stage drive structure can achieve the same or even better drive effect in a smaller space. The various transmission components cooperate with each other and are compactly arranged inside the arm bracket 100, making the overall structure of the lamp more compact. At the same time, the multi-stage transmission can also achieve a deceleration effect, and the reduction ratio can be designed according to needs, thereby more precisely adjusting the rotation angle of the third driven wheel 117.

[0029] In one embodiment, the drive wheel 111, driven wheel 113, second driven wheel 115, and third driven wheel 117 can be configured as synchronous belt pulleys, and the first connecting belt 112 and second connecting belt 116 can be configured as synchronous belts, thereby improving the accuracy of transmission.

[0030] In one embodiment, the driven wheel 113 is centrally connected to a central shaft 114; the bottom of the central shaft 114 is fixedly connected to a support frame 101 within the arm bracket 100; the top of the central shaft 114 is fixedly connected to the support frame 101 via a support plate 102. This double-fixing method effectively limits the displacement and swaying of the driven wheel 113 during operation; the fixed structures at both the bottom and top of the central shaft 114 ensure that the force experienced by the driven wheel 113 during operation is well distributed to the support frame 101 via the central shaft 114. Because the driven wheel 113 is in a stable position, its relative positional accuracy with the drive wheel 111 and the second driven wheel 115 can be guaranteed during multi-stage transmission; in one embodiment, the support plate 102 can be fixedly connected to the support frame 101 via a support column.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, a waterproof control box 140 is rotatably connected to the top of the third driven wheel 117; a second bearing 141 and an oil seal 142 are fitted into the inner side of the waterproof control box 140 and the third driven wheel 117; the waterproof control box 140 is connected to the interior of the connecting seat 120. By placing the waterproof control box 140 on the top of the third driven wheel 117 and using the second bearing 141 and oil seal 142 to cooperate with the inner side of the third driven wheel 117, the waterproof function is concentrated in this key part, the waterproof control box 140. Since the waterproof control box 140 can ensure the waterproofness of itself and the connecting seat 120, the waterproof structure design inside the arm support 100 can be reduced. This means that there is no need to reserve a lot of space or adopt a complex waterproof structure inside the arm support 100, making the space utilization inside the arm support 100 more efficient, and also reducing the cost increase and maintenance difficulty caused by too many waterproof structures. The waterproof control box 140 is internally connected to the connector 120, enabling internal wiring. This internal wiring provides a waterproof channel for the lighting fixture's wiring. Internal wiring prevents messy exposed wires on the outside of the lighting fixture, reducing the impact of external factors (such as water, dust, and impacts) that could affect the fixture. It also makes the overall appearance of the lighting fixture cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, meeting the design requirements of stage lighting and other similar equipment. In one embodiment, both the connector 120 and the bearing seat 103 have through holes in the middle, meaning that the connector 120 can connect internally to the lighting fixture base, thus enabling internal waterproof wiring between the arm bracket 100 and the lighting fixture base.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a limiting plate 150 is fixedly provided on the top of the third driven wheel 117; the limiting plate 150 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 151; a push-pull rod 160 that cooperates with the limiting grooves 151 is fixedly connected to the arm support 100 to limit the rotational position of the arm support 100. The rotational position of the arm support 100 can be precisely limited by the limiting grooves 151 on the limiting plate 150 and the push-pull rod 160 that cooperates with it on the arm support 100.

[0033] In one embodiment, the push-pull rod 160 is disposed within the guide block 161; the guide block 161 is fixedly connected to the support frame 101 within the arm bracket 100; a limit block 162 is fixedly connected to the push-pull rod 160; the guide block 161 is provided with a guide groove 163 that cooperates with the limit block 162; a push-pull handle 164 extending out of the arm bracket 100 is connected to the end of the push-pull rod 160 away from the limit plate 150, which allows the operator to easily operate the push-pull rod 160 without disassembling the lamp housing. During the movement of the push-pull rod 160, the cooperation of the guide block 161 and the guide groove 163 can prevent the push-pull rod 160 from deviating or shaking.

[0034] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in one embodiment, a bearing seat 103 is provided outside the connecting seat 120; the bearing seat 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arm support 100; a first bearing 130 is provided between the bearing seat 103 and the connecting seat 120. The bearing can convert the sliding friction of the arm support 100 rotating relative to the connecting seat 120 into rolling friction. The frictional force of rolling friction is much smaller than that of sliding friction, which greatly reduces the frictional loss between the connecting seat 120 and the arm support 100 during rotation. The connection method between the bearing seat 103 and the connecting seat 120 and the arm support 100 can effectively distribute the force on the arm support 100 during rotation. In one embodiment, two first bearings 130 are provided, located at the upper and lower ends of the bearing seat 103 respectively, which can make the weight of the arm support 100 and the external forces (such as wind force, vibration, etc.) experienced by the lamp during use more evenly distributed on the bearing seat 103. In the actual use of the lamp, the force it experiences may be multi-directional. The arrangement of the upper and lower bearings can better cope with these complex force conditions.

[0035] Working principle: Since the connecting seat 120 is fixedly connected to the lamp base, the lamp base will not move during use. Therefore, the position of the third driven wheel 117 is relatively fixed. When the drive motor 110 is working, the transmission structure transmits the force in the opposite direction to the drive motor 110, which drives the arm bracket 100 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the arm bracket 100 relative to the lamp base.

[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
