Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting fixtures, and in particular to a time-controlled energy-saving high mast light. Background Technology

[0002] In today's urban construction and public facilities sector, high mast lights, as an important outdoor lighting device, are widely used in large-area lighting locations such as squares, stadiums, and highway service areas. With increasing attention to energy issues, the research and application of energy-saving high mast lights has become a trend. Among them, time-controlled energy-saving high mast lights, with their advantage of automatically switching on and off through preset time programs, effectively avoiding unnecessary energy consumption, are favored by the market.

[0003] However, existing time-controlled energy-saving high mast lights present several problems when used in areas with heavy rainfall. Firstly, the accumulation of rainwater can damage the lighting fixtures on the mast. As the core lighting component of high mast lights, prolonged exposure to a humid environment can cause their internal electronic components to short-circuit due to moisture, affecting lighting performance and shortening their lifespan. Secondly, the time control system, a key component for energy-saving control, is also extremely sensitive to humidity. Rainwater intrusion into the time control system can cause circuit malfunctions, rendering the time control function ineffective and preventing accurate switching on and off of the lights according to preset times. This not only negates the energy-saving advantages but may also create safety hazards.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional high-mast lights often fail to adequately consider the specific needs of areas with heavy rainfall during their design, lacking effective rainwater guidance and protection measures. Rainwater can flow freely along the surface of the light pole, seeping into the installation areas of the lighting fixtures and time control systems. Moreover, in extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, large amounts of rainwater may accumulate at the base of the light pole, adversely affecting its stability. Therefore, developing a time-controlled energy-saving high-mast light that can effectively guide rainwater in areas with heavy rainfall and prevent it from affecting the lighting fixtures and time control systems on the pole is of significant practical importance. This will not only improve the reliability and lifespan of the high-mast light but also further ensure the stable realization of its energy-saving function. Utility Model Content

Example

[0038] Please see Figure 1-8 A time-controlled energy-saving high mast light includes a light pole 1, a lighting fixture 101, and a time control system 102. A rain guide plate 2 with an outer frame 205 is provided at the top of the light pole 1 to guide rainwater. The rain guide plate 2 is in an inclined state, and a number of drainage outlets 201 are evenly opened at its lower end. The rain guide plate 2 is installed on the top of the light pole 1 by a fixing component.

[0039] The time-controlled energy-saving high mast light of this application is mainly composed of a light pole 1, a lighting fixture 101, a time control system 102, a rain guide plate 2, a first connector 3, a second connector 4, a locking sleeve 5, a guide tube 202 and other components. The following is a detailed description of its structure and working principle.

[0040] I. Detailed Structure and Connection Methods of Each Component

[0041] Main components:

[0042] Pole 1: Serving as the supporting structure for the high-mast lighting, it is made of high-quality steel, possessing strong wind and earthquake resistance, ensuring stable operation under various harsh weather conditions. The top of Pole 1 is used to install other components, providing a stable foundation for the entire high-mast lighting system.

[0043] Lighting fixture 101: Installed on lamp post 1, it mainly uses energy-saving LED lights and other light sources, which have the advantages of high luminous efficiency, long life and good color rendering, and can provide sufficient lighting for large areas such as squares and stadiums.

[0044] Time control system 102: Also installed on the light pole 1, it is a key component for realizing energy-saving control of high-mast lights. It controls the switching of lighting fixtures 101 through a preset time program to avoid unnecessary power consumption.

[0045] Rain guide components:

[0046] Rain deflector 2: Made of lightweight, smooth, and translucent material, such as polycarbonate. The rain deflector 2 is inclined, with an outer frame 205 at the top. The outer frame 205 protrudes to limit rainwater flow into the drain outlet 201. The rain deflector 2 covers the light pole 1, lighting fixture 101, and time control system 102, effectively blocking rainwater and preventing it from seeping into these components. Several drain outlets 201 are evenly distributed at the lower end of the rain deflector 2 to divert rainwater.

[0047] Guide pipe 202: Installed at the bottom of each drain outlet 201, with an open bottom for easy drainage of rainwater. A connecting sleeve 203 is provided around the outer periphery of the bottom opening of the drain outlet 201, into which the guide pipe 202 is inserted. An elastic inner convex ring 204 is glued to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 203. The inner convex ring 204 and the guide pipe 202 press against each other, generating significant friction to ensure a stable connection and facilitate free assembly as needed.

[0048] Fixed components:

[0049] First connector 3: Connected to the bottom of rain guide plate 2, with a first groove 301 on the outer ring. The first groove 301 is threaded and its length is at least twice that of the second groove 401 on the second connector 4. A positioning retaining ring 302 is connected to the bottom of the first connector 3. The other end of the positioning retaining ring 302 can be inserted into the retaining ring groove 405 on the top of the second connector 4. At the same time, a retaining groove 303 is also provided on the bottom.

[0050] The second connector 4 is attached to the top of the lamp post 1. Its outer ring has a second groove 401 with threads that mate with the first groove 301. A locking rod 404 is connected to the center of the top. The other end of the locking rod 404 can be inserted into the slot 303 at the bottom of the first connector 3. The top of the locking rod 404 is spiked for easy insertion. An external groove 402 is provided on the outer side of the second connector 4, and a stabilizing ring 403 is fitted around the external groove 402.

[0051] Locking sleeve 5: Located between the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 4, it has internal threads that fit the outer walls of the first groove 301 and the second groove 401. A rotating ring 501 with anti-slip texture is fixed to the outer periphery of the locking sleeve 5 for easy rotation by the operator. A stabilizing sleeve 502 is connected to the outer periphery of the bottom of the locking sleeve 5, which can be fitted onto the outside of the second connecting member 4. The bottom of the locking sleeve 5 is also provided with a stabilizing sleeve 502 that can be fitted onto the outside of the second connecting member 4. The bottom of the locking sleeve 5 is spiked; when rotated onto the second groove 401 outside the second connecting member 4, its bottom presses against the stabilizing ring 403, increasing the friction of the contact surface and preventing slippage.

[0052] II. Working Principle

[0053] The second connector 4 is pre-fixed to the top of the light pole 1, providing a basic connection point for subsequent installation. The first connector 3 is connected to the rain guide plate 2. During installation and docking, the positioning ring 302 at the bottom of the first connector 3 corresponds to the ring groove 405 at the top of the second connector 4, while the locking rod 404 at the top center of the second connector 4 corresponds to the groove 303 at the bottom of the first connector 3. The insertion parts of the locking rod 404 and the positioning ring 302 are both spiked, which helps to insert them into the corresponding grooves 303 and 405 more accurately and quickly. By inserting the locking rod 404 into the groove 303 and the positioning ring 302 into the ring groove 405, the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 are initially positioned in the horizontal and vertical directions, limiting their relative movement and laying the foundation for subsequent fastening operations.

[0054] This bidirectional positioning structure distributes the force at the connection point, making the entire connection structure more balanced and stable under stress. For example, in severe weather such as strong winds, the connection between the light pole 1 and the rain guide plate 2 will not easily loosen or be damaged due to force in one direction, ensuring the stability of the rain guide plate 2 installation and enabling it to continuously and effectively perform its rain guiding function.

[0055] The locking sleeve 5 has threads that fit the outer walls of the first groove 301 and the second groove 401. After initial positioning, the locking sleeve 5 is fitted onto the first groove 301 of the first connector 3. The operator rotates the locking sleeve 5 by holding the rotating ring 501 with anti-slip texture on its outer circumference. Due to the threads, the locking sleeve 5 rotates along the first groove 301 and gradually transitions into the second groove 401 of the second connector 4. As the locking sleeve 5 rotates, it generates an axial tightening force on the first connector 3 and the second connector 4, tightly connecting them together, thereby achieving a secure installation of the rain guide 2 and the lamp post 1.

[0056] The stabilizing sleeve 502 on the outer periphery of the bottom of the locking sleeve 5 is fitted onto the outside of the second connecting member 4, and the bottom of the locking sleeve 5 is pressed against the stabilizing ring 403. These structures further increase the stability and reliability of the connection. The stabilizing sleeve 502 wraps around and constrains the second connecting member 4 from the outside, preventing it from shaking or displacing when subjected to external forces; the pressing between the bottom of the locking sleeve 5 and the stabilizing ring 403 increases the friction of the contact surface, effectively preventing the locking sleeve 5 from loosening due to vibration or other reasons during use, and ensuring that the rain guide plate 2 can be firmly installed on the top of the light pole 1 under various environmental conditions.

[0057] The rain deflector 2 features an inclined design, which conforms to the natural flow of rainwater. When rain falls, due to gravity, the rainwater flows down the smooth surface of the rain deflector 2 towards the lower end. The rain deflector 2 covers the light pole 1, the lighting fixture 101, and the time control system 102, forming an effective rain barrier that intercepts most of the rainwater on its surface, preventing rainwater from dripping directly onto these critical components.

[0058] The evenly spaced drainage outlets 201 at the lower end of the rain guide plate 2 serve to divert rainwater. As rainwater flows on the rain guide plate 2, it is dispersed into each drainage outlet 201 upon reaching them. The outer frame 205 protrudes outward, limiting the flow of rainwater and preventing it from spreading randomly. This ensures that rainwater flows accurately into the drainage outlets 201, improving the efficiency and accuracy of rainwater guidance.

[0059] Each drain outlet 201 has a corresponding guide tube 202 installed at its bottom. A connecting sleeve 203 is fixed to the outer periphery of the bottom opening of the drain outlet 201, and the guide tube 202 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 203. The inner convex ring 204 glued to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 203 is elastic. When the guide tube 202 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 203, the inner convex ring 204 and the guide tube 202 are pressed against each other, generating a large frictional force, which makes the guide tube 202 firmly connected to the drain outlet 201, and also ensures the sealing of the connection to prevent rainwater from leaking from the connection.

[0060] The bottom of the guide pipe 202 is open. Rainwater enters the guide pipe 202 through the drain outlet 201 and is discharged from the bottom of the guide pipe 202 under gravity, being guided to a location away from the light pole 1, the lighting fixture 101, and the time control system 102. In this way, even in the event of heavy rain or other heavy rainfall, rainwater can be guided and discharged in an orderly manner, avoiding damage to the components of the high mast light caused by rainwater accumulation. This effectively protects the normal operation and service life of the high mast light, ensures the stable realization of the time control energy-saving function, and ensures that the high mast light can work continuously and reliably in areas with heavy rainfall.

[0061] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
