[0031] In this embodiment, the fixed support assembly, the longitudinal displacement assembly, the lifting mechanism, the lateral displacement assembly, and the clamping assembly constitute an alignment device for street light installation according to this application.

[0032] It should also be understood that the base 11 provides a stable support surface, and the four sets of support columns 12 support the auxiliary support plate 13. The auxiliary support plate 13 helps stabilize the lamp post, keeping the entire device stable during installation and reducing the risk of tilting during street light installation. The support columns 12 are cylindrical in shape, have four sets, are made of No. 45 steel, and are welded to the longitudinal sliding plate 23 to support the auxiliary support plate 13.

[0033] Specifically, the longitudinal displacement component 2 includes: a longitudinal guide rail 21, which is welded to the base 11 at the bottom and slidably connected to the longitudinal sliding plate 23 at the top via a slider; and a hydraulic cylinder 22, which is disposed above the base 11 and whose output end is threadedly connected to the longitudinal sliding plate 23, for driving the longitudinal sliding plate 23 to move along the longitudinal guide rail 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the hydraulic cylinder 22 extends or retracts, it drives the longitudinal sliding plate 23 to slide on the two longitudinal guide rails 21, thereby realizing the longitudinal orientation adjustment of the device. The longitudinal position of the device can be precisely adjusted so that the lamp post meets the installation requirements in the longitudinal direction.

[0035] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 3 includes: a first motor 31, disposed above the longitudinal sliding plate 23 and threadedly connected to the longitudinal sliding plate 23, for driving a first worm gear 32; the first worm gear 32, disposed at the output end of the first motor 31, with its other end rotatably connected to a second positioning block 39 via a bearing, for transmitting rotational power; the second positioning block 39, vertically welded to the longitudinal sliding plate 23, and symmetrically arranged in multiple sets; and a first worm wheel 33, disposed below the first worm gear 32 and meshing with the first worm gear 32, for transmitting the rotational power of the first worm gear 32. Force; a second worm gear 34, both ends of which are rotatably connected to a second positioning block 39 via bearings; a second worm wheel 35, which is disposed on the side of the second worm gear 34 and meshes with the second worm gear 34, for transmitting the rotational force of the second worm wheel 35; a first threaded rod 36, which is rotatably connected to a longitudinal sliding plate 23 via bearings and is threadedly connected to a first positioning block 37; a first positioning block 37, which is symmetrically disposed at both ends of a lifting plate 38 and is threadedly connected to a first threaded rod 36, for converting the rotational motion of the first threaded rod 36 into the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the lifting plate 38.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the first motor 31 starts and drives the first worm 32 to rotate, the first worm 32 drives the first worm wheel 33 to rotate, which in turn causes the second worm 34 to rotate. The second worm wheel 35 transmits rotational force to make the first threaded rod 36 rotate. The rotational motion of the first threaded rod 36 is converted into the up and down movement of the lifting plate 38 through the first positioning block 37.

[0037] Specifically, the first worm gear 33, the second worm 34, the second worm gear 35, and the first threaded rod 36 are symmetrically arranged in two groups.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first worm gear 33, the second worm 34, the second worm gear 35, and the first threaded rod 36 are symmetrically arranged in two groups. The symmetrical structure makes the lifting process more stable and reduces the deviation caused by uneven force.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] Based on Example 1, a new lateral displacement component 4 was added to increase the accuracy of positioning.

[0041] Specifically, the lateral displacement assembly 4 includes: a second motor 41, disposed above the lifting plate 38 and connected to the lifting plate 38 by screws, with its output end rotatably connected to the second threaded rod 42 for driving the second threaded rod 42 to rotate; the second threaded rod 42, disposed on the side of the positioning plate 43 and rotatably connected to the positioning plate 43 by bearings; the positioning plate 43, welded to the lifting plate 38; two sets of lateral guide rails 44, symmetrically arranged, welded to the lifting plate 38 and slidably connected to the lateral sliding plate 45 by sliders; and limit blocks 46, disposed at both ends of the lateral guide rails 44 for preventing the lateral sliding plate 45 from slipping off the ends of the lateral guide rails 44.

[0042] With this configuration, the second motor 41 drives the second threaded rod 42 to rotate, causing the transverse sliding plate 45 to slide on the two sets of transverse guide rails 44. The four limit blocks 46 limit its sliding range to achieve transverse orientation adjustment of the device, ensuring the accurate transverse position of the lamp post, and the four limit blocks 46 ensure movement safety.

[0043] Specifically, the clamping assembly 5 includes: two sets of clamping claw support plates 51, which are symmetrically arranged and welded to the positioning plate 43 and the transverse sliding plate 45 respectively, for providing support for the clamping arm 52; a clamping claw guide rail groove 54, which is connected to the side of the second motor 41 by screws; clamping arms 52, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the clamping claw guide rail groove 54 and slidably connected to the clamping claw guide rail groove 54; and a clamping claw cylinder 53, which is arranged inside the clamping arm 52 for driving the clamping arm 52 to clamp the lamp post.

[0044] The gripper cylinder 53 extends and retracts, pushing the L-shaped gripper arm 52 to slide within the gripper guide groove 54, thereby clamping and releasing the lamp post and facilitating the fixing of the lamp post position during installation.

[0045] Specifically, the clamping arm 52, the gripper cylinder 53, and the gripper guide rail groove 54 are all symmetrically provided in two sets; the base 11, the lifting plate 38, the longitudinal sliding plate 23, and the auxiliary support plate 13 are all provided with grooves corresponding to the movement of the lamp post.

[0046] In this embodiment, the clamping arm 52, the gripper cylinder 53, and the gripper guide rail groove 54 are all symmetrically arranged in two sets. The symmetrical structure ensures uniform clamping force and improves clamping stability. The base 11, the lifting plate 38, the longitudinal sliding plate 23, and the auxiliary support plate 13 are all provided with grooves corresponding to the movement of the lamp post, which facilitates the lamp post to pass through the various components of the device for installation and positioning.

[0047] In actual use, the device is first placed in the predetermined installation position, and the lamp post is hoisted into the groove inside the auxiliary support plate 13 to initially position the lamp post and prevent the street light from tilting. Then, the operator drives the second motor 41, which rotates the second threaded rod 42, causing the transverse sliding plate 45 to move along the transverse guide rail 44 towards the positioning plate 43 via screws, further positioning the lamp post. Next, the operator drives the gripper cylinder 53, which moves the two gripping arms 52 along the gripper guide rail groove 54 through the groove inside the gripper guide rail groove 54 to achieve clamping. When the lamp post position needs to be adjusted, the operator drives the hydraulic cylinder 22, whose output pushes the longitudinal sliding plate 23 along the longitudinal guide rail 21 to align the lamp post base 11. After the lamp post is finally aligned with the base 11, the first motor 31 is driven. The first motor 31 drives the first worm gear 33 to rotate through a meshing connection. The first worm gear 33 transmits the rotational power to the second worm 34. The second worm 34 drives the first threaded rod 36 to rotate through a meshing connection. The rotational motion of the first threaded rod 36 is converted into the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the lifting plate 38 through a threaded connection with the first positioning block 37, which finally moves the lamp post to the installation position.

[0048] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device that can be controlled by a computer or other means. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
