[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A solar street light includes: a housing 1, an upper cover 2, a lower cover 3, a control board 4, a solar panel 5, a sensor module 6, an LED chip board module 7, and a storage battery 8.

[0041] From a top-down view, the shell 1, upper cover 2, and lower cover 3 are all rectangular or similar rectangles, with two opposite positions designated as the head and tail, and the remaining two opposite positions designated as the sides.

[0042] The housing 1 has a mounting port 1a at its tail end, which is used to mount the solar street light to the light pole. More specifically, a threaded hole can be used as the mounting port 1a.

[0043] The top cover 2 is hinged to the head of the housing 1. More specifically, the top cover 2 and the head of the housing 1 are connected by a hinge connector, and the tail of the top cover 2 and the tail of the housing 1 are connected by multiple screws. Tightening the screws keeps the top cover 2 closed, and unscrewing the screws allows the top cover 2 to be opened.

[0044] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper cover 2 has a first slot 2a, the first slot 2a having an opening facing the tail or either side.

[0045] The solar panel 5 is installed in the first slot 2a, that is, the solar panel 5 is installed / removed from the top cover 2 by insertion / extraction.

[0046] With the top cover 2 closed within the housing 1, the first slot 2a is blocked. "Blocked" means that the solar panel 5 is restricted in its movement by being completely or partially blocked, thus completely fixing the solar panel 5 in place. In other words, the solar panel 5 can only be installed / removed when the top cover 2 is open within the housing 1.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the housing 1 has a vertical first baffle 1b. When the upper cover 2 is closed in the housing 1, the first baffle 1b blocks the first slot 2a from communicating with the outside.

[0048] With the top cover 2 closed in the housing 1, the first baffle 1b not only completely limits and fixes the solar panel 5, but also completely blocks the socket, preventing dust from entering the space between the top cover 2 and the housing 1.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 8 The lower cover 3 is hinged to the head of the housing 1. For more details, please refer to the hinged connection between the upper cover 2 and the housing 1.

[0050] The lower cover 3 has a second slot 3a and a third slot 3b sequentially from the head to the tail. The insertion openings of the second slot 3a and the third slot 3b face the housing 1.

[0051] Sensor module 6 is installed in the second slot 3a.

[0052] LED board module 7 is installed in the third slot 3b.

[0053] With the lower cover 3 closed within the housing 1, the second slot 3a and the third slot 3b are both blocked. "Blocked" means that the movement of the sensor module 6 / LED board module 7 is restricted by completely or partially blocking the corresponding ports, thus completely limiting and fixing the sensor module 6 / LED board module 7. In other words, the sensor module 6 and LED board module 7 can only be installed / removed when the lower cover 3 is open within the housing 1.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the housing 1 has two sets of rods 1c. When the lower cover 3 is closed in the housing 1, the two sets of rods 1c respectively abut against the sensor module 6 and the LED board module 7.

[0055] With the lower cover 3 closed within the housing 1, a closed space is formed between the lower cover 3 and the housing 1. Therefore, it is sufficient to partially block the insertion ports of the second slot 3a and the third slot 3b.

[0056] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The control board 4 is installed inside the housing 1. More specifically, the top surface of the housing 1 has a mounting groove 1d that can be covered by the top cover 2, and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1d has four connecting posts 1d1. The control board 4 is fixedly connected to these connecting posts 1d1 by screws.

[0057] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The solar panel 5 has a first terminal 5a, and the control board 4 has an upward-facing first female connector near the head of the housing 1. The first terminal 5a is detachably plugged into the first female connector.

[0058] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The sensor module 6 has a second terminal 6a. The control board 4 has a downward-facing second female connector near the head of the housing 1. Correspondingly, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1d has a through groove 1d2 for the second female connector to pass through downward. The second terminal 6a is detachably plugged into the second female connector.

[0059] The LED board module 7 has a third terminal 7a. The control board 4 has a third female connector facing downward and extending downward from the through groove 1d2 near the head of the housing 1. The third terminal 7a is detachably plugged into the third female connector.

[0060] The first terminal 5a, the second terminal 6a, and the third terminal 7a are all located near the head of the housing 1 at their connection points on the control board 4, and the hinge points of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 are also located at the head of the housing 1. Therefore, as long as the wires of the first terminal 5a, the second terminal 6a, and the third terminal 7a are of appropriate length, they will not affect the opening of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The battery 8 is installed inside the housing 1. More specifically, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1d has a first mounting groove 1d3 for installing the battery 8, and the two can be connected by snap-fit.

[0062] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, a second baffle 1d4 is rotatably provided on the edge of the first mounting groove 1d3, and the second baffle 1d4 can switch between blocking the battery 8 and not blocking the battery 8.

[0063] The second baffle 1d4 makes it easier to install / remove the battery 8 from the first mounting slot 1d3.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5The battery 8 has a fourth terminal 8a. The control board 4 has an upward-facing fourth female connector near the battery 8. The fourth terminal 8a is detachably plugged into the fourth female connector.

[0065] After opening the top cover 2, the solar panel 5 remains stably located in the first slot 2a. Disconnecting the corresponding terminals from the control board 4 allows for easy removal of the solar panel 5 and battery 8 for repair or replacement. After opening the bottom cover 3, the sensor module 6 and LED board module 7 remain stably located in the second and third connector slots, respectively. Disconnecting the corresponding terminals from the control board 4 allows for easy removal of the sensor module 6 and LED board module 7 for repair or replacement.

[0066] Please see Figure 9 In some embodiments, the solar street light also includes a drive mechanism 9. The drive mechanism 9 is used to drive the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 to open / close synchronously.

[0067] The addition of the drive mechanism 9 allows for the simultaneous opening and closing of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3, and also enables the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 to be stably maintained at a suitable opening angle.

[0068] The drive mechanism 9 includes: a lead screw module 91 mounted on one side of the housing 1; an upper connecting strip 92 hinged between the upper cover 2 and the slider 912 of the lead screw module 91; and a lower connecting strip 93 hinged between the lower cover 3 and the slider 912 of the lead screw module 91. More specifically, one side of the housing 1 has a second mounting groove 1e; the lead screw 911 of the lead screw module 91 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via two bearings; the slider 912 is fitted against two opposing inner walls of the second mounting groove 1e; and the lead screw nut matching the lead screw 911 is fixedly connected to the slider 912.
