Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency lighting technology, and in particular to a waterproof structure for an underground marker light. Background Technology

[0002] According to fire safety requirements, fire emergency sign lights are required to be installed in or near public buildings for fire emergency evacuation guidance. One type of existing fire emergency sign light is the in-ground sign light. Because in-ground sign lights are installed on the ground, the ground is frequently exposed to liquids such as cleaning water; therefore, national standards require that in-ground sign lights must be waterproof. Existing in-ground sign lights consist of a metal cover, sign components, a light-transmitting plate, and a housing. The light-transmitting plate is assembled inside the opening of the housing, and sealant is filled at the edges or bottom of the light-transmitting plate to achieve a waterproof effect. This structure involves many steps and requires waiting for the sealant to cool before further assembly, resulting in excessively high product costs. Furthermore, this structure causes the metal cover and housing to be in contact without a waterproof structure between them, allowing moisture to accumulate in the gaps, leading to mold growth and affecting the lifespan of the housing. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a waterproof structure for an underground marker light includes a housing 1 made of plastic, with an opening 11 and an assembly edge 12 surrounding the opening 11, the assembly edge 12 having a waterproof groove 2; a light-transmitting element 3 made of plastic, covering the opening 11 and the assembly edge 12, the bottom of the light-transmitting element 3 having a waterproof portion 31 protruding towards the housing 1, the waterproof portion 31 being disposed within the waterproof groove 2; and a panel 4 disposed above the light-transmitting element 3; wherein the waterproof portion 31 is connected to the waterproof groove 2 by an ultrasonic bonding process. By providing the waterproof groove 2 on the assembly edge 12 of the housing 1 and the waterproof portion 31 on the light-transmitting element 3, the traditional glue application step is eliminated, reducing product assembly steps, speeding up product assembly time, and saving costs; the waterproof portion 31 is connected to the waterproof groove 2 by an ultrasonic bonding process, resulting in excellent waterproof performance and better bonding of the housing 1 and the light-transmitting element 3 together, making the assembled unit extremely strong and unable to detach.

[0027] To ensure that the bottom surface of the light-transmitting element 3 and the assembly edge 12 fit tightly together after assembly, the height of the waterproof part 31 is greater than the height of the waterproof groove 2 before the housing 1 and the light-transmitting element 3 are assembled. The bottom of the waterproof part 31 is provided with a melting part 32 and a bonding surface 34. The melting part 32 is melted into the waterproof groove 2 by ultrasonic bonding process. The bonding surface 32 is in contact with the bottom surface of the waterproof groove 2. After melting, the melting part 32 acts as a liquid with adhesive function to bond the waterproof groove 2 and the waterproof part 31 together. The melting part 32 is a pointed tip that narrows inward at an acute angle. This structure can prevent the melting part 32 from breaking under stress during the ultrasonic bonding process.

[0028] After the melting part 32 melts, it bonds the waterproof groove 2 and the waterproof part 31 together. In order to prevent the melting part 32 from overflowing from the waterproof groove 2 and entering the interior of the housing 1, which would affect the use of the lamp or reduce the waterproof performance of the lamp, the waterproof groove 2 is provided with a glue storage part 21. The glue storage part 21 is connected to the assembly edge 12. After the melting part 32 is melted by ultrasonic bonding process, the side of the waterproof groove 2 and the side of the waterproof part 31 are bonded to each other. If the melting part 32 overflows after melting, it will flow into and be placed in the glue storage part 21.

[0029] The light-transmitting element 3 is provided with a water-blocking edge 33 extending towards the housing 1, and the assembly edge 12 is located within the area covered by the water-blocking edge 33. Since the underground marker light is installed on the ground, most of the water seeps in from above the light fixture. The water-blocking edge 33 can guide the water to flow directly to the bottom of the light fixture, effectively preventing water from entering the gap between the light-transmitting element 3 and the housing 1. The outer side of the housing 1 is provided with an assembly surface 13, which forms a stepped shape with the outer side of the housing 1. The radius of the assembly surface 13 is smaller than the radius of the outer side of the housing 1. The water-blocking edge 33 covers the assembly surface 13. This structure makes the light fixture more aesthetically pleasing.

[0030] The assembly edge 12 is provided with an assembly hole 14, and the waterproof groove 2 is disposed between the opening 11 and the assembly hole 14; this structure can prevent water vapor from seeping into the lamp body through the assembly hole 14.

[0031] The light-transmitting component 3 includes a frame 35 and an arrow component 36 disposed within the frame 35. The arrow component 36 is made of light-transmitting / light-guiding plastic, while the frame 35 is made of opaque plastic. The light-transmitting component 3 is manufactured using a two-color injection molding process. The waterproof part 31 is disposed below the frame 35. This structure strengthens the overall structure of the product, making the lamp body more robust and sturdy, with lower cost and better waterproof performance.

[0032] While specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
