Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of outdoor lighting devices, and more specifically, to a multi-functional drive installation structure for outdoor lighting. Background Technology

[0002] Streetlights, as facilities that provide illumination for roads, are mainly composed of lamps with light sources, lamp poles, wires, and foundation embedded parts. These together form the lamp body. The lamps are installed at the top of the lamp poles, which are mounted on the foundation embedded parts. The foundation embedded parts are located on the ground. The lamp poles have a hollow structure, and the wires are placed inside the lamp poles, electrically connecting the power supply part of the foundation embedded parts to the light source. Under the action of the lamps, the light diffuses in all directions.

[0003] Currently, streetlights on the market consist of a lamp body and a driver unit mounted on it. Traditional streetlights integrate the lamp body and driver unit together. If the driver unit is damaged, the entire lamp body needs to be disassembled, making replacement extremely inconvenient, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and increasing labor costs. Therefore, structures that separate the driver unit from the lamp body have emerged. For example, patent number 202510041417.0, entitled "A Separate and Detachable Installation Structure for Streetlight Drivers and Its Detection Method," uses a separate driver installation method. However, this installation method uses a pathway formed by elastic elements and a ring-shaped conductive disc. In actual operation, this connection method cannot maintain a good assembly effect for a long time. Therefore, how to change the traditional connection method to form a double-locking structure to ensure the long-term effective maintenance of the external driver is a current problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-functional drive installation structure for outdoor lighting with a double locking structure, which can reduce the locking wear between the base and the bottom cover.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-functional driving installation structure for outdoor lighting, including a lamp body and an external driving part detachably connected to the lamp body. The external driving part includes a base detachably connected to the lamp body, a bottom cover electrically connected to the base, and an outer shell connected to the bottom cover. A driving circuit board is provided inside the outer shell. The driving circuit board is electrically connected to one end of an electrical connector plug provided on the bottom cover. The other end of the electrical connector plug on the bottom cover is electrically connected to an electrical connector socket provided on the bottom cover. A double locking structure is provided between the bottom cover and the base. The double locking structure includes an L-shaped inner mounting groove provided on the inner wall of the bottom cover and an outer mounting block provided on the outer wall of the base. The double locking structure also includes an L-shaped structure provided on the electrical connector plug and a groove structure provided in the electrical connector socket and adapted to the L-shaped structure. When the bottom cover is connected to the base, the bottom cover is pressed and rotated. At this time, the outer mounting block enters the inner mounting groove, and the L-shaped structure on the electrical connector plug enters the groove structure, completing the connection between the bottom cover and the base.

[0006] The present invention is further configured as follows: the driving circuit board is provided with an NFC module for adjusting the power of the lamp body through PWA programming; a light control module for adjusting the color temperature of the lamp according to the light intensity; an external adjustment module for adjusting the power within 0-10V by connecting an external regulator through a plug; and a thermistor for adjusting its own resistance according to the temperature change of the aluminum substrate of the lamp body, thereby adjusting the output current and adjusting the output power.

[0007] The present invention is further provided with a waterproof elastic element between the bottom cover and the base.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the following beneficial effects are achieved: 1. This utility model sets the external driving part to include a base detachably connected to the lamp body, a bottom cover electrically connected to the base, and an outer shell connected to the bottom cover. A driving circuit board is provided in the outer shell. The driving circuit board is electrically connected to one end of an electrical connection plug provided on the bottom cover, and the other end of the electrical connection plug on the bottom cover is electrically connected to an electrical connection socket provided on the bottom cover. This changes the traditional spring pin connection method. The connection is made by connecting the other end of the electrical connection plug to the electrical connection socket provided on the bottom cover. This connection is more stable. In order to reduce the inconvenience of the connection between the bottom cover and the base caused by the threaded connection, a double locking structure is provided between the bottom cover and the base. The double locking structure creates a two-way locking effect between the base and the bottom cover. The double locking structure includes an L-shaped inner mounting groove provided on the inner wall of the bottom cover and an outer mounting block provided on the outer wall of the base.

[0009] 2. The dual locking structure also includes an L-shaped structure on the electrical connector plug and a groove structure in the electrical connector socket that is adapted to the L-shaped structure. The above structure allows the bottom cover to be pressed and rotated when connected to the base. At this time, the outer mounting block enters the inner mounting groove, and the L-shaped structure on the electrical connector plug enters the groove structure, completing the connection between the bottom cover and the base, thus forming a dual locking effect. The stability is greatly improved, and the connection between the bottom cover and the base can be achieved with a simple locking structure.

[0010] 3. This utility model also includes an NFC module for adjusting the lamp's power via PWA programming; a light control module for adjusting the lamp's color temperature based on light intensity; an external adjustment module for adjusting power within the 0-10V range via an external regulator; and a thermistor for adjusting its resistance based on the temperature change of the lamp's aluminum substrate, thereby adjusting the output current and power. Thus, the lamp's output power can be adaptively adjusted via NFC or an external connection. Furthermore, the lamp's color temperature can be directly adjusted via the light control module, and the thermistor adjusts its resistance based on the temperature change of the lamp's aluminum substrate, thereby adjusting the output current and power, further improving the energy-saving effect of outdoor lights and greatly enhancing their practicality.

Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0016] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.

[0017] An outdoor lighting multi-functional driver mounting structure includes a lamp body 1 and an external driver part 2 detachably connected to the lamp body 1. The external driver part 2 includes a base 20 detachably connected to the lamp body 1, a bottom cover 21 electrically connected to the base 20, and an outer shell 22 connected to the bottom cover 21. A driver circuit board is disposed inside the outer shell 22. The driver circuit board is electrically connected to one end of an electrical connector 210 provided on the bottom cover 21. The other end of the electrical connector 210 on the bottom cover 21 is electrically connected to an electrical connector socket 201 provided on the bottom cover 21. A double locking structure is provided between the bottom cover 21 and the base 20. The double locking structure includes an L-shaped inner mounting groove 211 disposed on the inner wall of the bottom cover 21. An external mounting block 202 is disposed on the outer wall of the base 20; the double locking structure also includes an L-shaped structure 212 disposed on the electrical connector plug 210 and a groove structure disposed in the electrical connector socket 201 and adapted to the L-shaped structure 212. When the bottom cover 21 is connected to the base 20, the bottom cover 21 is pressed and rotated. At this time, the external mounting block 202 enters the inner mounting groove 211, and the L-shaped structure 212 on the electrical connector plug 210 enters the groove structure, thus completing the connection between the bottom cover 21 and the base 20. This utility model sets the external driving part 2 as including a base 20 detachably connected to the lamp body 1, a bottom cover 21 electrically connected to the base 20, and an outer shell 22 connected to the bottom cover 21, and a driving motor is provided in the outer shell 22. The circuit board is electrically connected to one end of an electrical connector 210 on the bottom cover 21, and the other end of the electrical connector 210 on the bottom cover 21 is electrically connected to an electrical connector socket 201 on the bottom cover 21. This changes the traditional spring-loaded pin connection method, and the connection is made through the other end of the electrical connector 210 and the electrical connector socket 201 on the bottom cover 21. This connection is more stable. In addition, to reduce the inconvenience caused by the threaded connection between the bottom cover 21 and the base 20, a double locking structure is provided between the bottom cover 21 and the base 20. The double locking structure creates a two-way locking effect between the base 20 and the bottom cover 21. The double locking structure includes a component located at... The bottom cover 21 has an L-shaped inner mounting groove 211 on its inner wall and an outer mounting block 202 on its outer wall. The double locking structure also includes an L-shaped structure 212 on the electrical connector plug 210 and a groove structure in the electrical connector socket 201 that is adapted to the L-shaped structure 212. When the bottom cover 21 is connected to the base 20, the bottom cover 21 is pressed and rotated. At this time, the outer mounting block 202 enters the inner mounting groove 211, and the L-shaped structure 212 on the electrical connector plug 210 enters the groove structure, thus completing the connection between the bottom cover 21 and the base 20. This creates a double locking effect, greatly improving stability. Moreover, the simple locking structure is sufficient to achieve the connection between the bottom cover 21 and the base 20.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive circuit board is equipped with an NFC module for power adjustment of the lamp body 1 via PWA programming; a light control module for adjusting the color temperature of the lamp according to the light intensity; an external adjustment module for adjusting the power within the 0-10V range via an external regulator; and a thermistor for adjusting its resistance according to the temperature change of the aluminum substrate of the lamp body 1, thereby adjusting the output current and power. This invention also includes an NFC module for power adjustment of the lamp body 1 via PWA programming; a light control module for adjusting the color temperature of the lamp according to the light intensity; and an external adjustment module. The module, via an external regulator connected through a plug, adjusts the power within the 0-10V range. A thermistor adjusts its resistance based on the temperature change of the aluminum substrate of lamp body 1, thereby regulating the output current and power. The output power of lamp body 1 can be adaptively adjusted via NFC or an external connection. Furthermore, the lamp color temperature can be directly adjusted via the light control module. The thermistor's ability to adjust its resistance based on the temperature change of the aluminum substrate of lamp body 1 further enhances the energy-saving effect of outdoor lighting, significantly improving its practicality.

[0019] A waterproof elastic element is also provided between the bottom cover and the base.
