Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a solar lamp controller and a solar lamp. Background Technology

[0002] Solar lights are electric lights that convert solar energy into electrical energy. They typically consist of solar panels, batteries, the light fixture itself, and a controller. When the sun is shining, the solar panels convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the batteries. When lighting is needed, the controller uses the batteries to power the solar lights. Because they require solar energy, solar lights are mostly used outdoors.

[0003] In existing technologies, solar lights include a lamp, a mounting bracket, and a controller. The controller is connected to the lamp and then mounted on a support surface via the mounting bracket. Due to the structural limitations of the mounting bracket, solar lights can only be fixed to support surfaces at specific angles, making them unsuitable for support surfaces with varying angles and thus limiting the application scenarios for solar lights. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a solar lamp controller and solar lamp that can be installed on bearing surfaces at different angles.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A solar lamp controller, comprising:

[0007] A fixing seat is used to fix it to a carrier. A groove is formed on the fixing seat, and a sliding groove is formed on the first groove wall of the groove along the width direction of the groove.

[0008] The support arm is partially disposed within the groove and slidably connected to the slide groove. A connecting joint is provided on the portion of the support arm that extends out of the groove. The connecting joint is used for detachable electrical connection of the lamp.

[0009] The support arm has a first position and a second position. When the support arm is in the first position, it is perpendicular to the fixed base and abuts against the fixed base for a limited position. When the support arm is in the second position, it is parallel to the fixed base and abuts against the fixed base for a limited position.

[0010] Understandably, by setting up a mounting base and a support arm, with the support arm having a first position or a second position, when fixing the solar controller, the mounting base is first fixed to the carrier, and then the lamp is hung on the support arm via a connector. When the solar controller is fixed to the carrier surface at different angles, the support arm can be adjusted to the first or second position, allowing the lamp to be hung on the support arm, thus expanding the applicable scenarios. Furthermore, by using an abutment limiting mechanism to confine the support arm to the first and second positions, the solar controller has a simple structure and low cost.

[0011] In one embodiment, a guide post is formed on the support arm, the guide post is correspondingly disposed with the slide groove, the guide post can be inserted into the corresponding slide groove, and the guide post can slide along the extension direction of the slide groove, so that the support arm is slidably connected with the slide groove.

[0012] It is understandable that by forming guide posts on the support arm and using the insertion and engagement of the guide posts and the slide groove to connect the support arm and the fixed base, the movement of the guide posts in the groove can switch the support arm between the first position and the second position.

[0013] In one embodiment, the chute includes a first groove portion that extends along the length direction of the chute;

[0014] When the support arm is in the first position, the guide post is located in the first groove, and the support arm abuts against and limits the second groove wall of the groove in the length direction of the groove.

[0015] It is understandable that by setting the first groove of the slot and the slide, when the support arm is in the first position, by moving the guide post to the first groove and using the cooperation between the support arm and the second groove wall of the slide, the support arm can be fixed in the first position, which can improve the stability of the solar lamp controller when it is in the first position.

[0016] In one embodiment, the groove includes a second groove portion, which is arc-shaped;

[0017] When the support arm is in the second position, the guide post is located in the second groove, and the support arm abuts against and limits the third groove wall of the groove in the groove depth direction.

[0018] Understandably, by setting a groove and an arc-shaped second groove, and moving the guide post along the arc-shaped second groove, the support arm moves from the first position to the second position. The arc-shaped second groove makes the rotation of the support arm smoother and more fluid. When the support arm moves to the second position, it is fixed in place by abutting against the third groove wall of the slide, which improves the stability of the solar lamp controller when suspending the lamp in the second position.

[0019] In one embodiment, the number of chutes is configured to be two, and the two chutes are arranged symmetrically on the two first groove walls of the groove.

[0020] Understandably, by configuring two slide grooves and symmetrically arranging them on the two first groove walls of the slot, the support arm is guided by the slide grooves on both sides during the sliding process, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the support arm sliding.

[0021] In one embodiment, the solar light controller further includes a solar panel and a battery, the solar panel extending along the length of the arm and abutting against the arm;

[0022] The battery is installed inside the support arm and electrically connected to the solar panel, and the battery can supply power to the lamp that is electrically connected to the connection joint.

[0023] Understandably, by installing solar panels and batteries, solar energy can be converted into electrical energy, providing a continuous power supply for the lights. In outdoor environments, no additional power supply is required, making solar lights more convenient to use.

[0024] In one embodiment, the solar lamp controller further includes a charging module mounted on the support arm for supplying power to the lamp that is electrically connected to the connection connector.

[0025] Understandably, by setting up a charging module, the solar light controller can not only be charged using solar energy, but also charged using the charging module, thus expanding the application scenarios of the solar light controller.

[0026] In one embodiment, the arm has a threaded joint at the location of the connecting joint, and the threaded joint is screwed onto the lamp that is electrically connected to the connecting joint, for supporting the lamp;

[0027] And / or, the support arm is provided with a hanging hole, and the support arm can suspend the lamp that is electrically connected to the connecting joint through the hanging hole.

[0028] Understandably, by setting up screw joints and hanging holes, smaller light fixtures can be directly suspended by screwing them into the fixture. When suspending heavier light fixtures, in addition to screwing them into the fixture, the fixture can also be suspended by hooking it onto the hanging holes. This achieves stable suspension of light fixtures of different weights and improves the versatility of the solar light controller.

[0029] In one embodiment, the solar light controller further includes a sensor and a control panel, wherein the sensor and the connector are electrically connected to the control panel, respectively.

[0030] The sensor can detect the human body and generate a feedback signal, and the control panel can control the power supply to / from the connector through the feedback signal.

[0031] Understandably, by setting up sensors and a control panel, intelligent control of the solar light controller can be achieved. When the sensor detects a human body, it generates a feedback signal, and the control panel controls the power supply to the connectors based on this signal. This intelligent control method can automatically adjust the lighting status of the lights based on the user's proximity; the lights automatically turn on when someone approaches and automatically turn off when the person leaves. This not only makes the solar light controller more convenient to use but also saves energy.

[0032] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0033] A solar lamp, comprising a solar lamp controller as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0034] Compared to existing technologies, the solar lamp controller features a fixed base and a support arm, with the support arm having either a first or second position. When fixing the solar lamp controller, the fixed base is first secured to the carrier, and then the lamp is hung on the support arm via a connector. When the solar lamp controller is fixed to different angles on the carrier surface, the support arm can be adjusted to the first or second position, allowing the lamp to be hung on the support arm, thus expanding its applicability. Furthermore, by using an abutment limiting mechanism to confine the support arm to the first and second positions, the solar lamp controller has a simple structure and low cost.

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a solar lamp controller 100, which includes a mounting base 10 and a support arm 20. The mounting base 10 is used to fix to a carrier and has a groove 11 formed thereon. Along the width direction of the groove 11, the mounting base 10 has a sliding groove 121 on the first groove wall 12 of the groove 11. The support arm 20 is partially disposed in the groove 11 and slidably connected to the sliding groove 121. The part of the support arm 20 that extends out of the groove 11 is provided with a connecting joint 21, which is used to detachably electrically connect to a lamp (not shown). The support arm 20 has a first position and a second position. When the support arm 20 is in the first position, the support arm 20 is disposed perpendicular to the mounting base 10 and abuts against the mounting base 10 for a limiting position. When the support arm 20 is in the second position, the support arm 20 is disposed parallel to the mounting base 10 and abuts against the mounting base 10 for a limiting position.

[0047] As can be seen from the above, by setting up a fixing base 10 and a support arm 20, with the support arm 20 having a first position or a second position, when fixing the solar controller, the fixing base 10 is first fixed to the carrier, and then the lamp is hung on the support arm 20 through the connector. When the carrier is fixed in different positions, the support arm 20 can be adjusted to be in the first position or the second position so that the lamp can be hung on the support arm 20. When the solar lamp controller 100 is fixed to the carrier surface at different angles, the support arm 20 can be adjusted to be in the first position or the second position so that the lamp can be hung on the support arm 20, thus broadening the applicable scenarios. In addition, by using an abutment limiting method to limit the support arm 20 to the first and second positions, the structure of the solar lamp controller 100 is simple and the cost is low.

[0048] Furthermore, the fixing seat 10 can be fixed to the bearing surface by means of threaded connection, adhesive connection, etc. The surface of the fixing seat 10 that mates with the bearing surface can be set as a plane or a curved surface. Here, the shape of the fixing seat 10 can be circular, rectangular, elliptical, etc.

[0049] In this embodiment, the fixing base 10 is provided with a first connecting hole 13. The threaded portion of the screw passes through the first connecting hole 13 and is threadedly connected and fixed to the bearing surface. The screw head presses the fixing base 10 against and limits it to the bearing surface. Here, the number of first connecting holes 13 and screws is configured to be 3, and the screws are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first connecting holes 13.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sliding groove 121 on the fixed base 10 cooperates with the guide post 22 formed on the support arm 20 to realize the transition between the first position and the second position of the support arm 20. Here, the number of sliding grooves 121 and guide posts 22 can both be set to multiple, and the sliding grooves 121 and guide posts 22 are set in a one-to-one correspondence. By setting multiple sliding grooves 121 and guide posts 22 to cooperate, the movement trajectory of the support arm 20 between the first position and the second position can be made more stable.

[0051] In this embodiment, two slide grooves 121 are configured, and the two slide grooves 121 are arranged symmetrically on the two first groove walls 12 of the groove 11. In this way, by configuring two slide grooves 121 and symmetrically arranging them on the two first groove walls 12 of the groove 11, the support arm 20 is guided by the slide grooves on both sides during the sliding process, which further improves the stability and smoothness of the sliding of the support arm 20.

[0052] In one embodiment, the slide 121 includes a first groove portion 1211, which extends along the length of the groove 11. When the support arm 20 is in the first position, the guide post 22 is located within the first groove portion 1211, and the support arm 20 abuts against and is limited by the second groove wall 14 of the groove 11 along its length. It can be understood that by providing the first groove portion 1211 of the groove 11 and the slide 121, when the support arm 20 is in the first position, by moving the guide post 22 to the first groove portion 1211 and utilizing the cooperation between the support arm 20 and the second groove wall 14 of the slide 121, the support arm 20 is fixed in the first position, thereby improving the stability of the solar lamp controller 100 when suspending the lamp in the first position.

[0053] Furthermore, the slide 121 includes a second groove portion 1212, which is arc-shaped. When the support arm 20 is in the second position, the guide post 22 is located within the second groove portion 1212, and the support arm 20 abuts against the third groove wall 15 of the groove 11 in the depth direction of the groove 11. It can be understood that by setting the groove 11 and the arc-shaped second groove portion 1212, and by moving the guide post 22 along the arc-shaped second groove portion 1212, the support arm 20 moves from the first position to the second position. The arc-shaped second groove portion 1212 makes the rotation process of the support arm 20 smoother and more fluid. When the support arm 20 moves to the second position, the abutment between the support arm 20 and the third groove wall 15 of the slide 121 fixes the support arm 20 in the second position, thereby improving the stability of the solar lamp controller 100 when suspending the lamp in the second position.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support arm 20 has a screw joint 211 at the connection joint 21. The screw joint 211 can be screwed onto the lamp that is electrically connected to the connection joint 21 to support the lamp; and / or, the support arm 20 has a hanging hole 23, and the support arm 20 can suspend the lamp that is electrically connected to the connection joint 21 through the hanging hole 23. By setting the screw joint 211 and the hanging hole 23, when suspending a lighter lamp, the lamp can be directly suspended by screwing it onto the lamp through the screw joint 211. When suspending a heavier lamp, in addition to suspending it by screwing it onto the lamp through the screw joint 211, the lamp can also be suspended by hanging it through the hanging hole 23 using a hook. This achieves stable suspension of lamps of different weights and improves the versatility of the solar lamp controller 100.

[0055] In this embodiment, the number of hanging holes 23 is configured to be two, which are used for the two hooks of the lamp to hang.

[0056] In one embodiment, a guide post 22 is formed on the support arm 20. The guide post 22 is correspondingly disposed with the slide groove 121, and the guide post 22 can be inserted into the corresponding slide groove 121. Furthermore, the guide post 22 can slide along the extension direction of the slide groove 121, thereby slidably connecting the support arm 20 with the slide groove 121. Thus, by forming the guide post 22 on the support arm 20 and utilizing the insertion and engagement of the guide post 22 with the slide groove 121, the connection between the support arm 20 and the fixed base 10 is achieved. The movement of the guide post 22 within the groove allows the support arm 20 to switch between a first position and a second position.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the support arm 20 includes an upper housing 24 and a lower housing 25, which are detachably connected. This detachable connection can be achieved through screw connections, stud connections, snap-fit ​​connections, or other methods.

[0058] Preferably, the upper housing 24 and the lower housing 25 are connected by a stud. The lower housing 25 has a second connecting hole 26, and the threaded part of the stud passes through the second connecting hole 26 to connect with the upper housing 24. The head of the stud presses and limits the lower housing 25 against the upper housing 24, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the upper housing 24 and the lower housing 25.

[0059] In this embodiment, the number of second connecting holes 26 and studs is three, and the second connecting holes 26 are evenly spaced on the lower housing 25, with each second connecting hole 26 corresponding to a stud. This allows for a stable connection between the upper housing 24 and the lower housing 25 at a lower cost.

[0060] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The solar light controller 100 also includes a solar panel 30 and a battery (not shown). The solar panel 30 extends along the length of the support arm 20 and is attached to the support arm 20. The battery is installed inside the support arm 20 and electrically connected to the solar panel 30, and the battery can power the light fixture electrically connected to the connection connector 21. By setting up the solar panel 30 and the battery, solar energy can be converted into electrical energy to provide a continuous power supply for the light fixture. In outdoor environments, no additional power supply is required, making it convenient for users.

[0061] In one embodiment, the solar lamp controller 100 further includes a charging module 40, which is mounted on the support arm 20 and used to supply power to the lamps electrically connected to the connection connector 21. By setting up the charging module 40, not only can solar energy be used to charge the battery, but the solar lamp controller 100 can also be charged, thus broadening the application scenarios of the solar lamp controller 100.

[0062] Specifically, the charging module 40 includes a charging interface 41 and an interface cover 42. The charging interface 41 is electrically connected to the battery and is used to supply power to the lamps that are electrically connected to the connector 21. The interface cover 42 is placed on the charging interface 41. When the charging interface 41 is not in use, the interface cover 42 is closed to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the charging interface 41 and affecting the charging efficiency of the charging interface 41.

[0063] In one embodiment, the solar lamp controller 100 further includes a sensor 50 and a control panel 60. The sensor 50 and the connector 21 are electrically connected to the control panel 60. The sensor 50 can detect a human body and generate a feedback signal, and the control panel 60 can control the power supply to / from the connector 21 via the feedback signal. It is understood that by setting the sensor 50 and the control panel 60, intelligent control of the solar lamp controller 100 can be achieved. When the sensor 50 detects a human body, it generates a feedback signal, and the control panel 60 controls the power supply to / from the connector 21 based on the feedback signal. This intelligent control method can automatically adjust the lighting status of the lamps according to the user's proximity; the lights automatically turn on when someone approaches and automatically turn off when the person leaves. This not only makes the solar lamp controller 100 more convenient to use but also saves energy.

[0064] In this embodiment, the control panel 60 is provided with a button 61, which can be pressed to control the power supply to / from the connector 21. It is understood that in other embodiments, the control panel 60 may also be configured as a touch screen, a toggle switch, or a touch sensor, etc.

[0065] This application also provides the following technical solution: a solar lamp, including a solar lamp controller 100 as described in any of the above.

[0066] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0067] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
