Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and more specifically, to a courtyard light. Background Technology

[0002] In the structural design of traditional garden lights, the lamp body and the top cover are usually connected by simple mechanical snaps or threads. During long-term outdoor use, this structure is prone to aging, deformation, or stripped threads due to environmental factors such as temperature changes and rain erosion. When maintenance personnel open the top cover, the unrestrained lamp body is highly susceptible to falling due to gravity, especially when made of fragile materials such as glass or ceramic, posing a significant safety hazard. The existing design forces maintenance personnel to hold the top cover with one hand and the lamp body with the other; this two-handed operation not only reduces maintenance efficiency but also increases operational risks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems in related technologies to a certain extent. To this end, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a courtyard light that automatically unfolds to form a support during maintenance of the top cover via a deformable connector, ensuring safety. It requires no tools for disassembly and assembly, is easy to operate, and significantly improves maintenance efficiency and reliability.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a courtyard light is provided, including an upper cover and a lamp body. The upper cover is detachably connected to the lamp body. A deformable connector is provided between the upper cover and the lamp body. The two ends of the deformable connector are respectively connected to the upper cover and the lamp body. When the upper cover and the lamp body are closed, the deformable connector is in a contracted state. When the upper cover and the lamp body are opened, the deformable connector is in an unfolded state.

[0005] With the above structure, when the top cover needs to be opened for maintenance, the deformable connector unfolds as the top cover detaches from the lamp body, thus providing a limiting and supporting function for the top cover. This prevents the top cover from swinging due to loss of support, ensuring the personal safety of maintenance personnel, and also effectively preventing damage to the top cover and internal components of the lamp cover. Furthermore, this structure allows for the disassembly and reinstallation of the top cover without the need for external tools, making operation convenient, lowering the maintenance threshold, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one ring of light strips is provided around the outer periphery of the lamp body, which not only enhances the surround lighting effect of the courtyard lamp, but also plays a positive role in aesthetics and atmosphere creation.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a heat sink is installed on the upper part of the lamp body, and a circuit board is fixedly disposed on the heat sink, which helps to improve heat dissipation efficiency, ensure long-term stable operation of the circuit system, and extend the service life of the lamp.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heat sink and the lamp body are detachably connected, which facilitates quick disassembly and assembly during later maintenance, replacement or upgrade of the circuit board, thereby improving the maintainability and modularity of the overall structure.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heat sink is fixedly connected to the lamp body by hand-tightening screws, and the installation and removal operations can be completed without the need for tools, which significantly improves the convenience of maintenance and the efficiency of on-site operation.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the deformable connecting member is a folding rod or a telescopic rod.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, one end of the deformable connector is provided with a first hinge seat for connecting with the upper cover, and the other end is provided with a second hinge seat for connecting with the lamp body. When the deformable connector adopts a folding rod, it can achieve free opening and closing guidance and support through a multi-segment folding structure, which enhances the flexibility and safety of the overall connection without affecting the freedom of disassembly of the upper cover.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a lampshade is also included, the lower end of which is provided with a base, and the base is connected to a support rod. The support rod can be inserted into the ground to achieve stable installation of the courtyard light and adapt to various outdoor terrains.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper part of the cover is provided with a connecting part, which is used to connect a mounting bracket for suspending the cover.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper cover and the lamp body are connected by a snap-fit, which enables tool-free quick assembly and disassembly, simplifies the operation process, and improves maintenance efficiency and user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-8As shown in the figure, a courtyard light is disclosed in this embodiment, including an upper cover 1 and a lamp body 2. The upper cover 1 is detachably connected to the lamp body 2. A deformable connector 8 is provided between the upper cover 1 and the lamp body 2. The two ends of the deformable connector 8 are respectively connected to the upper cover 1 and the lamp body 2. When the upper cover 1 and the lamp body 2 are closed, the deformable connector 8 is in a contracted state. When the upper cover 1 and the lamp body 2 are opened, the deformable connector 8 is in an unfolded state.

[0031] In this embodiment, to further enhance the practicality and protective performance of the overall structure, the outer periphery of the upper cover 1 is designed to be larger than that of the lamp body 2 below it, thereby effectively extending the shielding range, enhancing the rainproof effect, and preventing rainwater from seeping in from the edges. Preferably, the upper end of the upper cover 1 adopts an arc-shaped or curved surface structure design, so that rainwater can be guided away smoothly and avoid water accumulation.

[0032] The top cover 1 is installed movably and has two clips 3 as fasteners. Correspondingly, the lamp body 2 has a slot 2a at the clip 3 position to achieve a secure connection. In addition, the lamp body 2 is provided with a fixing shaft 2c for hinged connection of the top cover 1. The top cover 1 can be opened or closed relative to the upper shell 2 by means of the fixing shaft 2c.

[0033] Furthermore, combined Figure 4-6 As shown, in another embodiment, the courtyard light also includes a lampshade 4, which is fixedly installed on the lower part of the lamp body 2. At least one ring of light strips 9 is provided around the outer periphery of the lamp body 2, which not only enhances the surround lighting effect of the courtyard light but also plays a positive role in aesthetics and atmosphere creation.

[0034] When it is necessary to open the top cover 1, simply activate the latch 3 mechanism, and the lamp body 2 located below will naturally open under its own weight, thus forming a relatively open state with the top cover 1. During this process, the deformable connector 8 located at the connecting part 1a is subjected to tensile force and deforms, changing its state from the original contracted form to the unfolded form. After unfolding, it continues to maintain the connection between the lamp body 2 and the top cover 1, ensuring the controllability of the disassembly process and the safety of the structure.

[0035] Furthermore, combining Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper part of the upper cover 1 is provided with a connecting part 1a, which is used to connect the mounting bracket 7 for suspending the upper cover 1. Preferably, the mounting bracket 7 is an L-shaped bracket so that the garden light can be directly mounted on the wall. Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, the mounting bracket 7 is a U-shaped bracket.

[0036] Furthermore, the lamp body 2 has a ring-shaped structure, with a base plate 2b and a side wall surrounding the base plate 2b. The slot 2a and the fixing shaft 2c are provided on the side wall. One end of the deformable connector 8 is fixedly connected to the base plate 2b.

[0037] Specifically, in combination Figure 8 As shown, a heat sink 6 is installed on the upper part of the lamp body 2, and a circuit board 12 is fixedly mounted on the heat sink 6. This helps to improve heat dissipation efficiency, ensure the long-term stable operation of the circuit system, and extend the service life of the lamp. The heat sink 6 and the lamp body 2 are detachably connected, which facilitates quick disassembly and assembly during later maintenance, replacement, or upgrades of the circuit board 12, improving the maintainability and modularity of the overall structure. The heat sink 6 is fixedly connected to the lamp body 2 by hand-tightening screws 11, allowing for installation and removal without the need for tools, significantly improving maintenance convenience and on-site work efficiency.

[0038] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the deformable connector 8 is a folding rod. Preferably, it is a two-section folding rod, with one end of the folding rod having a first hinge seat 8a for connecting to the upper cover 1, and the other end having a second hinge seat 8b for connecting to the lamp body 2. The multi-section folding structure can achieve free opening and closing guidance and support, enhancing the flexibility and safety of the overall connection without affecting the freedom of disassembly of the upper cover 1.

[0039] In some other embodiments, the deformable connecting rod is replaced by a multi-section telescopic rod instead of the folding rod in this embodiment.

[0040] Specifically, combined Figure 6 As shown, the lower end of the lampshade 4 is provided with a base 5, which has a socket structure. A support rod 10 extends from the lower part of the base 5, serving as a support component for the lampshade 4 to be installed on the ground. The upper end of the support rod 10 is inserted into the socket on the base 5. Furthermore, a pointed structure may be optionally provided at the lower end of the support rod 10, which allows the support rod 10 to be easily inserted into soft ground such as soil or grass, thereby improving the stability and ease of installation of the lampshade 4. This structure is particularly suitable for use in outdoor environments, effectively enhancing the overall fixation of the device.
