Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of underground parking garage lighting, specifically an underground parking garage building lighting system. Background Technology

[0002] Most underground parking garages are located on the first and second basement levels of buildings. Since these levels are usually underground, they cannot be directly exposed to sunlight, resulting in dark garages with poor air quality. To improve the lighting conditions in underground parking garages, lighting systems are usually installed.

[0003] A utility model patent with publication number CN219158305U discloses a light well for an underground garage with a protective structure, which facilitates the centralized cleanup of objects falling into the light well. It includes: a light well with a rotatable glass roof at the top, a support rod at the top of the light well for supporting the glass roof, and several sets of anti-fall beams at the top of the light well for supporting and intercepting large objects falling into the light well; an adjusting rod and a protective net; a fixed rod is also fixedly installed inside the light well, and symmetrical arc-shaped grooves are arranged on the inner wall of the light well. The two ends of the adjusting rod are slidably installed in two sets of arc-shaped grooves, and a protective net is installed between the fixed rod and the adjusting rod to catch objects falling through the sets of anti-fall beams.

[0004] The device includes a light well with a glass roof. When lighting the underground garage, external light enters the light well through the glass roof and illuminates the garage. However, when the angle and direction of the external light are significantly tilted, the inner wall of the light well blocks the sunlight, preventing it from fully penetrating the garage and resulting in poor lighting. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problem of poor lighting effect in the existing technology, this utility model provides a lighting system for underground garage buildings.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides a lighting system for an underground garage, including a light-collecting tube, an installation plate rotatably mounted on the top of the light-collecting tube, a light-transmitting hole inside the light-collecting tube, a through hole aligned with the light-transmitting hole on the installation plate, a cover plate rotatably mounted on the top of the through hole on the installation plate, a reflective surface on the side of the cover plate near the through hole, a motor fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the light-collecting tube, a gear fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and a toothed groove along the circumferential direction on the bottom of the installation plate, with the gear meshing with the toothed groove.

[0008] It also includes a drive mechanism, which is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes an electric push rod and a fixing block. The fixing block is set in two sets and fixedly mounted on the mounting plate and the cover plate respectively. The two ends of the electric push rod are respectively hinged to a set of fixing blocks. When the external light shines at an angle, the operator starts the electric push rod to extend and retract the output shaft of the electric push rod. The extension and retraction of the output shaft adjusts the opening angle of the cover plate at the through hole, thereby reflecting the light into the garage through the reflective surface. The operation is convenient.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the mounting plate is detachably equipped with an isolation cover. The isolation cover is transparent. By setting a detachable isolation cover on the top of the mounting plate, external objects are prevented from falling into the garage through the through hole, thus improving safety. Moreover, light can shine into the garage through the transparent isolation cover, ensuring the normal lighting operation of the light-transmitting pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the isolation cover is fixedly provided with a locking block, which is inverted T-shaped. The mounting plate has a groove aligned with the locking block, and the side wall of the groove has a slot for fitting the locking block. When the operator installs the isolation cover, they align the locking block at the bottom of the isolation cover with the groove and insert it. Then, they rotate the isolation cover so that the locking block is inserted into the slot when the isolation cover rotates, thereby limiting the position of the isolation cover. The operation is convenient.

[0012] Preferably, the number of the locking blocks is multiple sets and they are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the isolation cover. The multiple sets of locking blocks can achieve multi-point limiting of the isolation cover, thereby further improving the stability of the isolation cover.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting plate is fixedly provided with a circular insert ring, and the top of the light-collecting tube is provided with a slot that matches the insert ring. The circular insert ring further limits the mounting plate and ensures the stability of the mounting plate when it rotates.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with a protective net at the through hole. By providing the protective net, external objects are prevented from entering the garage through the through hole, thereby improving safety.

[0015] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0016] This invention includes a light-collecting tube with a mounting plate rotatably mounted on its top. The light-collecting tube has a light-transmitting hole inside, and the mounting plate has a through hole aligned with the light-transmitting hole. A cover plate is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting plate above the through hole, and a reflective surface is provided on the side of the cover plate near the through hole. A motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the light-collecting tube, and a gear is fixedly connected to the motor's output shaft. The bottom of the mounting plate has circumferentially toothed grooves, with the gear meshing with the grooves. This device, by having a rotatable cover plate on the mounting plate and the motor on the light-collecting tube driving the mounting plate to rotate, allows workers to adjust the position of the cover plate and mounting plate according to the angle and direction of external light, ensuring that the reflective surface on the cover plate effectively reflects light into the garage, thus improving the lighting effect.

[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment discloses an underground garage building lighting system, including a light-collecting tube 1 and a drive mechanism. A mounting plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the top of the light-collecting tube 1. A light-transmitting hole 101 is provided inside the light-collecting tube 1. A through hole aligned with the light-transmitting hole 101 is provided on the mounting plate 2. A cover plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the top of the through hole on the mounting plate 2. A reflective surface 401 is provided on the side of the cover plate 4 near the through hole. A motor 5 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the light-collecting tube 1. A gear 501 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 5. A toothed groove 201 is provided circumferentially on the bottom of the mounting plate 2. The gear 501 meshes with the toothed groove 201. The drive mechanism is mounted on the mounting plate 2.

[0026] In at least one embodiment, the drive mechanism includes an electric push rod 6 and a fixing block. The fixing block is set in two sets and fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 2 and the cover plate 4 respectively. The two ends of the electric push rod 6 are respectively hinged to a set of fixing blocks. When external light shines at an angle, the operator starts the electric push rod 6 to extend and retract the output shaft of the electric push rod 6. The extension and retraction of the output shaft adjusts the opening angle of the cover plate 4 at the through hole, thereby reflecting the light into the garage through the reflective surface 401. The operation is convenient.

[0027] In at least one embodiment, a detachable isolation cover 3 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 2. The isolation cover 3 is transparent. By providing a detachable isolation cover 3 on the top of the mounting plate 2, external objects are prevented from falling into the garage through the through hole, thus improving safety. Moreover, light can shine into the garage through the transparent isolation cover 3, ensuring the normal lighting operation of the light pipe 1 for the garage.

[0028] In at least one embodiment, a locking block 203 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the isolation cover 3. The locking block 203 is inverted T-shaped. The mounting plate 2 is provided with a groove 204 aligned with the locking block 203. The side wall of the groove 204 is provided with a slot for fitting the locking block 203. When the operator installs the isolation cover 3, the locking block 203 at the bottom of the isolation cover 3 is aligned with the groove 204 and embedded. Then, the isolation cover 3 is rotated so that the locking block 203 is driven into the slot when the isolation cover 3 rotates, thereby limiting the position of the isolation cover 3. The operation is convenient.

[0029] In at least one embodiment, the number of locking blocks 203 is multiple sets and they are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the isolation cover 3. The multiple sets of locking blocks 203 achieve multi-point limiting of the isolation cover 3, thereby further improving the stability of the isolation cover 3.

[0030] In at least one embodiment, a circular ring 202 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 2, and a slot for fitting the ring 202 is provided at the top of the light-collecting tube 1. The circular ring 202 further limits the mounting plate 2 to ensure the stability of the mounting plate 2 when it rotates.

[0031] In at least one embodiment, the mounting plate 2 is provided with a protective net 7 at the through hole. By providing the protective net 7, external objects are prevented from entering the garage through the through hole, thereby improving safety.

[0032] During the lighting operation in the underground parking garage, the light-transmitting pipe 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the underground parking garage. The upper and lower ends of the light-transmitting pipe 1 are connected to the ground and the underground parking garage, respectively. The operator drives the cover plate 4 to rotate using the drive mechanism on the mounting plate 2, causing it to rotate and open along the top of the mounting plate 2. Then, external light can shine through the through-hole of the mounting plate 2 to illuminate the interior of the underground parking garage. When the angle of external light is tilted, the operator adjusts the opening angle of the cover plate 4 according to the angle of light by using the drive mechanism, so that the reflective surface on one side of the cover plate 4... 401 reflects the obliquely incident light, thereby directing the oblique light into the garage through the through-hole and light-transmitting hole 101, improving the lighting effect. When seasonal changes cause changes in the direction of external light, the staff starts the motor 5 on the outer wall of the light-transmitting tube 1, causing the output shaft of the motor 5 to drive the gear 501 to rotate. In turn, the meshing of the gear 501 with the tooth groove 201 drives the mounting plate 2 to rotate. The operation is convenient, so that the reflective surface 401 on the cover plate 4 is aligned with the direction of light, thereby reflecting the light into the underground garage and improving the lighting effect of the underground garage.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
