Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of obstruction light technology, and in particular to a magnetic solar obstruction light. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of renewable energy, wind power has been widely used as a clean and efficient energy source. To ensure the safety of wind turbines at night or in low visibility conditions, obstruction lights are typically installed on their towers and pipe walls to alert aircraft and other vehicles to avoid them. Traditional obstruction lights mostly rely on grid power or battery power and are connected via cables. However, in practical applications, especially when installing these lights on the pipe walls of wind turbines, a series of challenges have been encountered.
[0003] Traditional obstruction lights typically use screws or other mechanical connections, requiring workers to climb to high positions for manual installation. For wind turbines, due to their height and complex structure, this installation method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also carries significant safety risks. Especially in inclement weather conditions, working at height becomes even more dangerous and impractical.
[0004] Traditional obstruction lights require cables to connect to the power supply or control system, necessitating the laying of numerous wires during installation. For wind turbines, the limited internal space makes wiring not only more difficult but also potentially interfere with existing electrical systems. Furthermore, exposed cables are susceptible to environmental factors such as wind and rain erosion and animal damage, leading to line damage and affecting the normal operation of the lights. The complex wiring also increases the cost and complexity of subsequent maintenance.
[0005] Because traditional obstruction lights are installed in inaccessible locations, maintenance personnel still need to work at heights when a malfunction occurs or a light needs to be replaced. This not only increases maintenance costs but also poses certain safety hazards. Frequent work at heights is also detrimental to long-term stable operation.
[0006] To address this issue, a magnetic solar-powered obstacle light is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide a solar-powered obstruction light that is easy to install, convenient to maintain, highly adaptable, and highly reliable. Specifically, this invention simplifies the installation process by introducing a magnetic installation method; improves the light fixture's sealing and weather resistance by incorporating an air pressure balancing device; optimizes the angle design of the photovoltaic panels to enhance light efficiency; and integrates an intelligent control system for easy management and maintenance.
[0008] This invention provides a magnetic solar-powered obstruction light, which employs a magnetic installation method in its structural design. The backplate is equipped with powerful magnets, evenly distributed to ensure the light fixture can be firmly attached to metal surfaces, such as the pipe wall of a wind turbine. To prevent damage to the mounting surface from the magnets and to improve their weather resistance and safety, the magnet surfaces are coated with rubber or plastic. Furthermore, a lifting ring is provided at the top of the housing, facilitating the rapid hoisting of the light fixture to the target location and installation using drones or other lifting equipment. This magnetic installation structure greatly simplifies high-altitude operations, reducing construction difficulty and safety hazards.
[0009] To solve the wiring problem, this invention makes full use of solar energy as the main energy source. A high-efficiency photovoltaic panel is installed on the front of the lamp, and a built-in high-efficiency battery stores electrical energy, eliminating the need for external cables. This completely eliminates the various problems caused by wiring, reducing construction difficulty and subsequent maintenance costs.
[0010] To improve the reliability and adaptability of the luminaire, this invention features a specially designed air pressure balancing device. Mounted on the back panel, this device automatically adjusts the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the luminaire, preventing seal failures caused by environmental changes, ensuring the safe operation of internal electronic components, and extending their service life. The air pressure balancing device also incorporates dust and water resistance, further enhancing the overall reliability of the luminaire.
[0011] Regarding the light-emitting module, the lamp features an upward-sloping design, placing the photovoltaic panel above the module. This layout effectively prevents sunlight shading from affecting charging efficiency. The light-emitting module includes a lamp cover, LED chips, a sealing ring, and mounting posts. The mounting posts extend through the front of the housing, and two or more sealing rings are fitted onto them to ensure excellent waterproof and dustproof performance. The LED chips are mounted on the outer end of the mounting posts and sealed by the lamp cover. Simultaneously, the LED chips are electrically connected to the main board and managed by the intelligent control system.
[0012] The motherboard integrates a power management module and a wireless communication module, enabling intelligent control and remote monitoring. Users can check the status of the lights, adjust the operating mode (such as constant light or flashing light) at any time through a mobile application (APP) or other terminals, and obtain fault alarm information. This not only improves the convenience and timeliness of management but also enables maintenance personnel to more effectively manage equipment and troubleshoot faults. In addition, the power management module also has overcharge protection and short circuit protection functions to ensure that the lights can operate safely and stably in various environments. The switch on the back panel allows users to select the operating mode of the lights according to their actual needs, which is both convenient and practical.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] Using powerful magnets for fixation allows the light fixtures to be quickly and stably attached to metal surfaces, such as the walls of wind turbine pipes. This installation method simplifies the construction process and reduces the risks associated with working at heights.
[0015] The top of the housing is equipped with a lifting ring, which facilitates installation or removal using drones or other lifting equipment, making it particularly suitable for hard-to-reach high-altitude locations.
[0016] A pressure balancer is installed on the back panel, which can automatically adjust the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the lamp to prevent sealing failure caused by environmental changes, thereby extending the life of the lamp.
[0017] With the casing tilted upwards and the photovoltaic panels positioned above the light-emitting module, this design avoids the impact of sunlight shadows on charging efficiency, ensures sufficient sunshine hours, and increases photovoltaic power generation.
[0018] Relying entirely on solar energy as its power source, it requires no additional wiring, reducing power consumption, meeting the requirements of green development, and reducing carbon emissions. The magnet surface is coated or plastic-sealed, increasing corrosion resistance and safety, while preventing scratches on the mounting surface.
[0019] In summary, this utility model, through a series of innovative designs, has made significant progress in terms of ease of installation, airtightness, light efficiency, and environmental protection and energy saving, providing a more advanced and reliable solution for outdoor lighting, especially for high-altitude obstacle indication.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a magnetic solar barrier light, including a housing 1, a back plate 11, a magnet 2, a photovoltaic panel 3, and a light-emitting module 4. The light-emitting module 4 and the photovoltaic panel 3 are installed on the front of the housing 1. The magnet 2 is fixedly installed on the back plate 11. The back plate 11 is fixedly and sealed to the housing 1 through a back plate sealing ring 12 and screws 8. A battery 51 and a main board 5 are wrapped between the back plate 11 and the housing 1. The main board 5 is electrically connected to the battery 51, the photovoltaic panel 3, and the light-emitting module 4.
[0034] like Figure 2As shown, the back of the lamp is equipped with neodymium magnets 2, which are evenly distributed on the back plate 11 to ensure that the lamp can be firmly attached to metal surfaces, such as the tube wall of a wind turbine. To prevent the magnets 2 from damaging the mounting surface and to improve its weather resistance and safety, the magnets 2 are coated or plastic-sealed. In addition, a lifting ring 6 is provided on the top of the housing 1 to facilitate the use of drones or other lifting equipment to lift the lamp to the target position and install it quickly. This magnetic installation structure greatly simplifies the high-altitude operation process and reduces construction difficulty and safety hazards. The shape of the back plate 11 includes flat and curved surfaces to adapt to different installation environments. When installing on the tube wall of a wind turbine, a curved back plate 11 is selected.
[0035] Considering that the luminaire may be used in high-altitude areas or environments with large temperature differences, a pressure balancer 7 is specially installed on the back panel 11. This device can automatically adjust the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the luminaire, avoiding sealing failure caused by environmental changes, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the internal electronic components and extending the luminaire's lifespan. The design of the pressure balancer 7 also takes into account dustproof and waterproof performance, further improving the overall reliability of the luminaire. The pressure balancer 7 connects to the internal and external environments of the luminaire through one or more tiny vents and has a built-in special valve mechanism that allows air to flow in or out of the luminaire when needed to maintain the internal pressure consistent with the external environment. To prevent dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the luminaire, filters or breathable membranes are usually installed at the vents. The pressure balancer is an existing product and will not be described in detail here.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the housing 1 is designed with its front facing upwards at an angle, with the photovoltaic panel 3 positioned above the light-emitting module 4. This layout effectively prevents sunlight from shading the photovoltaic panel 3, improving charging efficiency. The angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 is optimized to maximize sunlight reception even when installed vertically, ensuring sufficient sunshine hours and thus increasing photovoltaic power generation. The light-emitting module 4 includes a lampshade 41, LED chips 42, a lamp assembly sealing ring 43, and a mounting post 44. Figure 4 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the mounting post 44 penetrates the front of the housing 1. Two or more lamp assembly sealing rings 43 are provided and fitted onto the mounting post 44 to ensure good waterproofing. The lamp beads 42 are installed on the outer end of the mounting post 44 and sealed by the lamp cover 41, providing bright and long-lasting illumination. Simultaneously, the lamp beads 42 are electrically connected to the main board 5 and are managed by the intelligent control system.
[0037] To enhance overall waterproofing, the backplate 11 is tightly connected to the housing 1 via a sealing ring, forming a sealed space to protect the internal battery 51 and motherboard 5 from external environmental influences. The LED beads 42 in the light-emitting module 4 also employ multiple sealing measures, such as... Figure 7As shown, this ensures normal operation even in severe weather conditions. The entire lighting fixture is designed with various possible usage scenarios in mind, striving for maximum protection.
[0038] In this embodiment, the motherboard 5 integrates a power management module and a wireless communication module, realizing intelligent control and remote monitoring functions. Users can check the status of the lamps at any time through a mobile application or other terminals, adjust the working mode (e.g., constant light or flashing), and obtain fault alarm information. This not only improves the convenience and timeliness of management but also enables maintenance personnel to more effectively manage equipment and troubleshoot faults. Furthermore, the power management module also has overcharge protection and short-circuit protection functions, ensuring the lamps operate safely and stably in various environments. The switch 52 on the back panel 11 allows users to select the working mode of the lamps according to their actual needs. The power management module and wireless communication module are existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0039] To gain a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model, its principles will be further explained below in conjunction with its usage.
[0040] In practical use, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rear of the lamp is equipped with a power switch 52 and a constant light / flash adjustable switch 52. Users can adjust whether to use constant light or flash according to their actual needs, and then turn on the power switch 52. Next, use a drone or other hoisting equipment to connect to the lifting ring 6 on the top of the housing 1, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
[0041] Launch the drone and smoothly lift it to the target altitude, accurately positioning it according to the pre-marked location. Using the drone's camera, ensure the light fixture is accurately attached to the wind turbine tube wall. Once the light fixture is securely attached, release the hook and slowly lower the drone to complete the hoisting process.
[0042] During the day, photovoltaic panel 3 receives sunlight and dynamically adjusts charging parameters using a built-in MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm to ensure it is always in optimal working condition and maximizes charging efficiency. The collected energy is stored in battery 51, providing stable power support for nighttime lighting.
[0043] The microcontroller on motherboard 5 coordinates the work of various modules, including power management and signal processing. Through the wireless communication module, users can check the status of the lights anytime, anywhere via a mobile application, such as battery level and operating mode, and remotely adjust settings according to actual needs.
[0044] The air pressure balancing device on the backplate 11 can automatically adjust the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the lamp, avoiding sealing failure caused by environmental changes and ensuring the safe operation of the internal electronic components of the lamp. The design of this device also takes into account dustproof and waterproof performance, further improving the overall reliability of the lamp.
