Detailed Implementation
[0043] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0044] In order to adapt to the special environment of subway depots, this embodiment provides a subway depot ceiling light with a purely mechanical design, which eliminates the need for climbing to work during maintenance and avoids electrical safety hazards.
[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in this embodiment, a retractable and easily maintainable subway garage ceiling light includes a fixed base 1, a suspension rod 2, a socket base 3, an outer frame 4, a lamp 5, a mechanical automatic retractor 6, a suspension rope 7, and a power cable 8 for the lamp. The fixed base 1 and the mechanical automatic retractor 6 are used for fixed installation on the garage ceiling; the suspension rod 2 is vertically fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base 1; the outer frame 4 covers the lamp 5, and the socket base 3 is located on the top of the outer frame 4 and fixedly connected to the outer frame 4 and the lamp 5; the socket base 3 is actively socketed to the suspension rod 2. The mechanical automatic retractor 6 includes a first automatic retractor 61 that matches the suspension rope 7 and a second automatic retractor 62 that matches the power cable 8 for the lamp; the upper end of the suspension rope 7 is connected to the first automatic retractor 61, and the lower end is connected to the outer frame 4; the upper part of the power cable 8 is connected to the second automatic retractor 62, and the lower end is connected to the lamp 5.
[0046] In actual maintenance work, a long rod with a hook that provides downward force can be used to hook the outer frame 4 and pull the lamp 5 down to the working height for maintenance. During the process of the outer frame 4 pulling down the lamp 5, the first automatic retractor 61 and the second automatic retractor 62 activate and store energy, with the main force being the hoisting rope 7. After the maintenance is completed, the first automatic retractor 61 and the second automatic retractor 62 automatically return to their original positions, and the socket base 3 is connected to the hoisting rod 2 to keep the lamp 5 stable, thus completing the entire maintenance process of the lamp.
[0047] This utility model adopts a purely mechanical design. By setting up the lifting rod 2, the socket base 3, the outer frame 4, the mechanical automatic retractor 6, the lifting rope 7, and the power cable 8 of the lamp, the structure can achieve pull-down and automatic return and fixation. No climbing work is required during maintenance. Moreover, the lifting function does not require an electric device, so there are no electrical safety hazards. It can meet the needs of safe and convenient use.
[0048] In the above structure, as a preferred embodiment: the fixed base 1 is a fixed steel plate base, made of hot-dip galvanized steel plate with a thickness of 0.5mm and dimensions of length * width = 200 * 200mm. The fixed base 1 is fixed to the garage ceiling using bolts 10; the bolts 10 are M8 hexagonal expansion bolts with a length of 80mm. The hanger 2 is a steel pipe hanger, a national standard hot-dip galvanized steel pipe with an outer diameter of 20mm, rigidly welded to the fixed steel plate base. The socket base 3 is rigidly fixed to the outer frame 4 and the lamp 5 by welding; the socket base 3 is a hollow cylinder with a height of 100mm, an outer diameter of 100mm, and an inner diameter of 20mm, with the hollow part being used to insert and embed the hanger 2 to fix the lamp. The suspension rope 7 is a soft steel wire rope with a diameter of 3mm. The power cable 8 is a national standard rubber-sheathed cable selected according to the lamp specifications.
[0049] During the aforementioned maintenance process, the hooked long rod that provides downward pulling force can be used as a component of the garage ceiling light, or it can be provided separately.
[0050] Once the maintenance is complete, a long rod with a hook can be used in conjunction with a mechanical automatic retractor to achieve a slow upward rebound.
[0051] In addition, as a preferred implementation method, in conjunction with Figure 3 As shown, the first automatic retractor adopts a mechanical automatic slow rebound method. Specifically, in terms of structural configuration, both the first automatic retractor 61 and the second automatic retractor 62 include a housing 601, a retractor rod 602, a damping shaft 603, and a spring winding box 604; the retractor rod 602 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 601, and the shaft of the damping shaft 603 and the spring winding box 604 are connected to the retractor rod 602; the damping coefficient of the damping shaft 603 can be adjusted according to the weight of the suspended object (mainly the socket base 3, the outer frame 4, and the lamp 5) and the physical parameters of the spring.
[0052] With the above settings, after maintenance is completed, the hooked long rod can be directly released, and the kinetic energy is released by the spring winding box 604 in the first automatic winder 61 and the second automatic winder 62 to rebound, and the damping shaft 603 is used to achieve automatic slow rebound.
[0053] To avoid the problem of the power cable 8 winding around the reel rod 602 during the winding process, preferably, the second automatic reel 62 further includes a fixing bushing 605. The fixing bushing 605 is used to fix the power cable 8 and only winds up the lower end of the power cable 8. The first automatic reel 61 may or may not include the fixing bushing 605. The damping shaft 603 includes a first damping shaft 6031 and a second damping shaft 6032 located at both ends of the reel rod 602. The outer side of the first damping shaft 6031 is fixedly connected to the spring winding box 604, and the spring winding box 604 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 601. The fixing bushing 605 is disposed inside the second damping shaft 6032, and the second damping shaft 6032 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 601.
[0054] It should be noted that in the second automatic reel 62, winding can be achieved from only one end, rather than both ends, through the fixed bushing 605, thus avoiding the problem of the upper end of the power cable 8 also winding around the reel rod 602 during the winding process. In a conventional setup, the structures of the first automatic reel 61 and the second automatic reel 62 are basically the same, so the fixed bushing 605 can also be provided on the first automatic reel 61 to fix the lifting rope 7. However, since the lifting rope 7 may not have an upper end structure like the power cable 8, the fixed bushing 605 may not actually be provided on the first automatic reel 61.
[0055] The two ends of the aforementioned spool rod 602 can be movably installed in the housing 601 via the spool rod fixing shaft 606 respectively; the spool rod 602 is connected to the fixing bushing 605, the first damping rotating shaft 6031, the second damping rotating shaft 6032, the spring winding box 604, and the inner shaft of the spool rod fixing shaft 606 by square holes.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, in the first automatic winder 61 and the second automatic winder 62, the housing 601 has external dimensions of 150*150*150mm and is made of 2mm thick hot-dip galvanized steel plate; the winding rod 602 is a steel cylinder with a length of 1900mm and a cross-sectional diameter of 10mm. It is connected to the inner shaft of the fixed bushing 605, damping shaft 603, spring winding box 604, and winding rod fixing shaft 606 via square holes. The fixed bushing 605 is 25mm long. The damping shaft 603 uses a commercially available product with adjustable damping coefficient; its inner shaft is connected to the winding rod via square holes, and the outer shell is fixed to the housing 601 with screws. The spring winding box 604 uses a commercially available product or is custom-made, and is connected to the housing 601 with screws. The winding rod fixing shaft 606 uses a commercially available product or is custom-made, and is connected to the housing 601 with screws.
[0057] To ensure that the suspension rope 7 acts as the primary load-bearing element, as a preferred implementation method, it is combined with... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the garage ceiling light also includes a cable ferrule 9, which is securely connected to the outside of the rod 2. The power cable 8 passes through the cable ferrule 9. The suspension rope 7 extends out of the first automatic retractor 61 and then enters the inside of the rod 2, moving up and down along the inside of the rod 2. This structural design allows the suspension rope 7 to act as the main load-bearing element, avoids excessive tension on the power cable 8, and also facilitates the straightening of the power cable 8.
[0058] The cable ferrule 9 is formed by two circular structures integrally molded into a figure-eight shape, made of hot-dip galvanized material, with a width of 20mm. One circular structure is fitted onto the outside of the hanger rod 2 and securely connected to it, while the other circular structure is used to pass through the power cable 8. The cable ferrule 9 is an openable ferrule, with the open end fixedly connected to the hanger rod 2 by screws. There are multiple cable ferrules 9, evenly spaced along the hanger rod 2 from top to bottom. This structural design facilitates the installation of the cable ferrules 9 and also makes it easier to manage the power cable 8.
[0059] Cooperate Figure 5As shown, the lamp 5 includes a lampshade 51 and a bulb 52. The lampshade 51 has a circular lamp opening with a diameter of 400mm, is made of aluminum alloy, and is hemispherical in shape. The outer frame 4 is located on the outside of the lampshade 51 and extends outward along the lampshade 51. The outer frame 4 includes multiple intersecting semicircular frames and a ring frame connected to the bottom of the semicircular frames, forming a hemispherical frame structure. The outer frame 4 is made of steel; the material is 6mm hot-dip galvanized round steel, and the dimensions extend outward by 10mm along the lampshade 51, rigidly connected to the socket base 3.
[0060] In summary, this utility model adopts a purely mechanical design, enabling pull-down and automatic return. During maintenance, a long hooked rod is used to hook the steel outer frame, pulling the lamp down to the working height without the need for climbing. Furthermore, the lifting function requires no electric device, eliminating any electrical safety hazards. It meets the requirements for safe and convenient use and is suitable for widespread application.
[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes or alterations made by those skilled in the art using the above-disclosed technical content shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
