Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of street lighting systems, specifically to a street lighting control system and street lighting system based on mechatronics. Background Technology
[0002] Streetlights are luminaires that provide illumination to roads, broadly referring to luminaires within the road surface lighting range of traffic lighting. Streetlights are widely used in various places requiring illumination. Traditional urban streetlight management systems typically employ timed switching control, relying primarily on manual inspections and citizen complaints for fault detection. However, with rapid urbanization, streetlights, as a widely distributed and numerous infrastructure in cities, are facing increasingly significant limitations in traditional management methods: traditional streetlight management has poor environmental adaptability, failing to intelligently adjust according to actual lighting conditions, weather, and other environmental factors, leading to over-illumination or insufficient illumination, easily causing energy waste and safety hazards; simultaneously, management and maintenance are inefficient and costly. With the expansion of urbanization, the manpower and time costs required for manual inspections have increased dramatically, resulting in delayed fault detection and untimely handling, affecting lighting and road safety. With the expansion of urban scale and the development of technology, traditional streetlight management systems, with their isolated information data and lack of intelligent decision support, clearly cannot meet the demands of modern cities for intelligent, energy-saving, and efficient management.
[0003] To address the above issues, there is an urgent need to invent a mechatronics-based street light control system and street light system to solve the problem that the existing street light control system has a single control mode and cannot adapt to street light control under special circumstances.

[0034] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0035] See Figure 1-4 A mechatronics-based street light control system is configured to control the lighting or extinguishing of at least one street light. The control system includes a circuit control section 1 and a mechanical control section 2, one of which is configured to control the lighting or extinguishing of the street light. The control system also includes a selection module 3, configured to allow a power supply system 4 to select either the circuit control section 1 or the mechanical control section 2 to control the power supply system 4 to supply power to or de-energize the street light. Understandably, depending on specific circumstances, such as weather conditions, during the day when it is dark, the selection module can be used to select the mechanical control section, allowing manual control of the street light's lighting or extinguishing.
[0036] Specifically, the selection module can be a single-pole double-throw (SPV) switch. A SPV switch consists of a moving end and a stationary end. The moving end, the so-called "pole," should be connected to the power input line, which is the end receiving power, and is usually also connected to the switch handle. The other two ends are the power output ends, the so-called stationary ends, which are connected to the electrical equipment. Its function is to control the power output in two different directions, meaning it can be used to control two devices, or to control the same device by changing its operating direction. Alternatively, the selection module can be two SPV switches. During use, one SPV switch can be selectively closed or opened, while the other performs the opposite operation. For example, if one is closed, the other is open. This allows selection of the circuit control section or the mechanical control section to control the streetlights to turn on or off. The mechanical control section can use a mechanical switch to manually close or open to turn the streetlights on or off, allowing the streetlights to turn on or off according to different conditions. The circuit control section is automated, controlling the streetlights to turn on or off based on time or other factors (such as brightness, sound, etc.).
[0037] In one specific embodiment, the circuit control section 1 includes a timing control module 21, which is configured to control the power supply system 4 to supply power to the streetlights at set times and to control the power supply system to stop supplying power to the streetlights at set times. Specifically, the timing control module can use a time relay. A time relay is a type of relay whose output circuit only produces a jump change (or contact action) after a specified accurate time has elapsed after an input action signal is applied (or removed). It is an electrical component used in circuits with lower voltage or lower current to connect or disconnect circuits with higher voltage or higher current. A time relay is an electronic time relay; an electronic time relay uses integrated circuits, crystal oscillators, and other electronic components to achieve time control through digital or analog circuits. When an input signal is triggered, the timer starts counting; when the count reaches a preset time, it outputs a signal to achieve circuit on / off control. Electronic time relays have advantages such as small size, low power consumption, and high precision. In this embodiment, the preset time can be set differently according to the season. For example, in summer and autumn, the preset time can be 7 PM and 5 AM, or in winter and spring, the preset time can be 5 PM and 7 AM, etc. When the preset time is reached, the electronic time relay is activated, thereby controlling the street light to turn on or off.
[0038] In one specific embodiment, the circuit control section 1 further includes an identification module 22, which is configured to identify the intensity of light and control the power supply system 4 to supply power to the streetlights or to stop supplying power to the streetlights based on the intensity of light. Specifically, the identification module can employ a light control circuit including a photosensitive circuit. A photoresistor, also known as a photoconductor, is almost always a photoelectric device made of semiconductor materials. A photoresistor has no polarity and is purely a resistive device; it can be used with either DC or AC voltage. In the absence of light, the photoresistor value (dark resistance) is very large, and the current in the circuit (dark current) is very small. When the photoresistor is exposed to light within a certain wavelength range, its resistance (bright resistance) decreases sharply, and the current in the circuit increases rapidly. Generally, it is desirable for the dark resistance to be as high as possible and the bright resistance to be as low as possible, as this results in high sensitivity of the photoresistor. In practice, the dark resistance value of a photoresistor is typically in the megaohm range, and the bright resistance is below several thousand ohms. When the photoresistor senses a change in light intensity, and the intensity exceeds a first preset level or falls below a second preset level, the light control circuit, including the photoresistor, activates, thereby controlling the streetlight to turn on or off. This light control circuit is a common type of light control circuit in existing technology, for example... Figure 2 The circuitry used in the design is not limited here. In addition, the recognition module can also be a voice control module, including a sound sensor. The voice control module can be used alone or in combination with the light control circuit. The voice control module can use existing common voice control circuits.
[0039] In one specific embodiment, the circuit control section 1 further includes a comparison module 23, which is configured to control one of the timing control module 21 and the identification module 22 to control the power supply system 4 to supply power to the streetlights or to control the power supply system 4 to stop supplying power to the streetlights.
[0040] In one specific embodiment, the power supply system 4 is an AC power supply, the identification module 22 includes a photoresistor, the timing control module 21 includes a time relay, and the comparison module 23 is a PLC or a microcontroller.
[0041] Specifically, the PLC or microcontroller has a pre-set control program that compares which of the timing control module 21 and the identification module 22 reaches the preset condition first. For example, if the preset time in the timing control module has not been reached, but the identification module identifies that the brightness has reached the first preset brightness or the second preset brightness, the comparison module will control the identification module to work and control the street light to turn on or off. Similarly, it will control the timing control module to take action to control the street light to turn on or off.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, the power supply system 4, the circuit control section 1, and the street light constitute the first power supply circuit.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, the power supply system 4, the mechanical control part 2, and the street light constitute a second power supply circuit.
[0044] In one specific embodiment, the selection module 3 includes a first conducting circuit 31 and a second conducting circuit 32;
[0045] The power supply system 4, the circuit control section 1, the first conduction circuit 31, and the street light constitute the first power supply circuit;
[0046] The power supply system 4, the mechanical control part 2, the second conduction circuit 32, and the street light constitute the second power supply circuit.
[0047] The second aspect of this utility model provides a street lighting system, including the mechatronics-based street lighting control system described above.
[0048] In one specific embodiment, the street light system includes multiple street lights, and the street light control system controls the lighting or extinguishing of the multiple street lights. These multiple street lights can be either general illumination street lights or fog lights with strong penetrating power, or a combination of both, such as spaced-out general illumination street lights and fog lights. This is beneficial for driving safety in foggy weather, as the fog lights can be activated during foggy conditions.
[0049] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
