Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navigation light technology, and in particular to a multifunctional navigation light. Background Technology
[0002] Navigation lights illuminate ships, aircraft, and other vehicles with specific colors, frequencies, and intensities to indicate safe navigation routes, help drivers orient themselves, and prevent them from entering dangerous areas such as shoals, reefs, hidden reefs, and channel boundaries, ensuring that navigation follows the correct course.
[0003] Traditional navigation lights have limited functionality, typically offering only basic light navigation. In practical use, they present challenges in maintenance and replacement, making it difficult for repair personnel to perform maintenance safely and conveniently. Furthermore, the cramped space within traditional navigation lights limits the movement of maintenance personnel. Therefore, a multi-functional navigation light was designed to address these issues.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes protective railings, with protective railings fixedly connected to the outer perimeter of the cover plate.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a satellite antenna; a satellite antenna is installed on the guardrail.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes fan blades, with fan blades installed on the top of the headlight cover.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a handle; the outer perimeter of the small lampshade is fixedly connected to a handle.
[0010] Furthermore, the float is cylindrical and is a rotomolded composite structure composed of a steel frame and high-strength, high-molecular-weight polyethylene material.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] Example: A multi-functional navigation light, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the system includes a float 1, a tower base 2, a cover plate 3, a tower body 6, a ladder 7, a top plate 8, a guide rail 9, a large light cover 10, a small light cover 11, and a navigation light 13. The float 1 serves as the main supporting structure of the light buoy, providing buoyancy and stabilizing the entire device on the water surface. Its upper end is fixedly connected to the tower base 2, which serves as a transition component connecting the float 1 and the upper structure. Its upper end is fixedly connected to the cover plate 3, which serves as a platform foundation for personnel operation and rest. The tower body 6 is fixedly connected to the center of its upper end, serving as a vertical support structure. A ladder 7 is installed around the tower body 6 to provide a climbing passage for maintenance personnel. The top plate 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tower body 6. A large light cover 10 is fixedly installed on the top plate 8, and a guide rail 9 is installed near the large light cover 10. A small light cover 11 is slidably connected to the guide rail 9. A navigation light 13 is installed at the center of the top plate 8 to provide navigation indication.
[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a protective railing 4 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the cover plate 3, forming a reliable safety barrier. This greatly reduces the risk of accidental falls when personnel operate or stay on the cover plate 3, provides safety for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance tasks and for temporary refuge for stranded personnel, and significantly improves the safety and reliability of the navigation light 13 during maintenance.
[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a satellite antenna 5 is installed on the guardrail 4. The satellite antenna 5 enables the device to communicate remotely, allowing managers to monitor the device's working status and location information in real time, facilitating timely detection and handling of faults. In emergency scenarios, it provides an important external communication channel for people in distress, enabling them to send distress signals in a timely manner.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, a fan blade 14 is installed on the top of the headlight cover 10, which is converted into electrical energy by wind power to provide auxiliary energy for the operation of the device. At the same time, it enhances the device's autonomy and stability in terms of energy supply, especially in complex and changeable natural environments, ensuring the device's continuous and stable operation.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, a handle 12 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the small lamp cover 11, providing a convenient point of leverage for maintenance personnel to operate the small lamp cover 11. Combined with the sliding and rotating design of the small lamp cover 11 and the guide rail 9, maintenance personnel can easily and quickly open or close the small lamp cover 11, facilitating the maintenance, replacement and other operations of the navigation light 13, significantly improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance work.
[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the float 1 is cylindrical and is a rotomolded composite structure composed of a steel frame and high-strength, high-molecular-weight polyethylene material. It combines the high strength of the steel frame with the corrosion resistance and impact resistance of polyethylene material, which not only provides stable and reliable buoyancy for the device and ensures its floating stability on the water surface, but also effectively resists the erosion of harsh environments and external impacts, extending the service life of the device and reducing the frequency and cost of maintenance.
[0026] During use, the float 1, with its own structure and material properties, continuously provides stable buoyancy to the navigation light 13, allowing it to float at a designated position on the water surface. The navigation light 13 is installed at the center of the top plate 8 and emits light signals to guide passing ships. At the same time, when the wind blows, the fan blades 14 at the top of the headlight cover 10 are driven by the wind to rotate. The rotation of the fan blades 14 is connected to the power generation device through a mechanical transmission device, converting wind energy into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is stored in the energy storage device of the navigation light 13, providing auxiliary power for the operation of the navigation light 13.
[0027] The cover plate 3 and the guardrail 4 form a stable platform structure, which allows maintenance personnel to stand and operate safely during maintenance, and can also provide temporary shelter for stranded personnel in emergency situations. The satellite antenna 5 on the guardrail 4 maintains a constant connection with external communication equipment, allowing personnel to send distress signals in case of an emergency.
[0028] When the navigation light 13 needs to be inspected or replaced, the maintenance personnel first approach the navigation light 13 via a vessel, climb onto the cover plate 3, and then use the ladder 7 to climb to the top plate 8. At this point, the maintenance personnel grasp the handle 12 on the outer edge of the small lamp cover 11 and rotate the small lamp cover 11 along the guide rail 9 to open it. Because the small lamp cover 11 and the guide rail 9 are slidably connected and rotatable, the maintenance personnel can easily and quickly move the small lamp cover 11 to a suitable position, thereby fully exposing the navigation light 13 for easy inspection, repair, or replacement. After the inspection is completed, the small lamp cover 11 is rotated back to its original position using the handle 12, so that it covers the navigation light 13. The lamp cover can provide protection for the navigation light 13 under normal circumstances, preventing it from being affected by external factors such as wind, rain, and dust, and ensuring the normal operation of the navigation light 13.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
