[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular quick-release street light, which can be quickly opened without tools through the cooperation between the quick-release cover and the snap-fit ​​component, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A modular quick-release street light includes a housing, the interior of which has a groove for installing wiring, and a quick-release cover for sealing is mounted on the upper part of the groove via a hinge. The quick-release cover and the middle part of the housing have a mounting groove for installing a snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0009] The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​rod disposed inside the mounting groove for snapping the housing and a fixed shaft that cooperates with the snap-fit ​​rod to rotate. A handle for driving the snap-fit ​​rod to rotate is mounted on the top of the snap-fit ​​rod, and a torsion spring for driving the snap-fit ​​rod to reset is disposed outside the fixed shaft.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides: a modular quick-release street light, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a housing 1. The interior of the housing 1 has a groove 2 for installing wiring. A quick-release cover 3 for sealing is hinged to the upper part of the groove 2. A mounting slot 4 for installing a snap-fit ​​assembly 5 is located between the quick-release cover 3 and the middle of the housing 1. The groove 2 provides dedicated installation space for the wiring, allowing it to be neatly arranged inside the housing, avoiding safety hazards and maintenance difficulties caused by messy wiring. The design of the quick-release cover 3 allows for easy opening and closing of the cover during wiring installation, repair, or replacement, eliminating the need for complex disassembly and greatly improving work efficiency. The snap-fit ​​assembly 5 enables quick engagement and disengagement between the quick-release cover 3 and the housing 1. The quick-release cover 3 can be easily opened or closed by simply operating the handle 53, without the need for additional tools, saving time and labor costs.

[0026] The snap-fit ​​assembly 5 includes a snap-fit ​​rod 51 disposed inside the mounting groove 4 for snapping into the housing 1, and a fixed shaft 52 that rotates in conjunction with the snap-fit ​​rod 51. A handle 53 is mounted on the top of the snap-fit ​​rod 51 for driving its rotation. A torsion spring 54 is disposed outside the fixed shaft 52 for driving the snap-fit ​​rod 51 to reset. The snap-fit ​​rod 51 can be easily rotated via the handle 53, enabling the snap-fit ​​rod 51 to engage or disengage from the housing 1. This makes the installation and removal of the quick-release cover 3 more convenient and faster, facilitating the inspection, maintenance, and replacement of internal components such as the streetlight's wiring. Workers do not need complex tools; they can quickly open or close the quick-release cover 3 simply by rotating the handle 53, improving work efficiency. The snap-fit ​​rod 51 securely engages with the housing 1, ensuring a tight fit between the quick-release cover 3 and the housing 1, guaranteeing the overall structural stability of the streetlight. The torsion spring 54 enables the snap-fit ​​rod 51 to automatically reset. When the handle 53 is rotated, the torsion spring 54 will drive the locking rod 51 to automatically reset, ensuring that the locking rod 51 is always in the correct locking position, which further improves the reliability and stability of the locking assembly 5.

[0027] Preferably, the upper part of the housing 1 has several sets of magnets 6 arranged in an array to generate magnetic force, and the bottom of the quick-release cover 3 is equipped with an iron plate 7 to cooperate with the magnets 6 to generate magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction between the magnets 6 and the iron plate 7 can further enhance the connection stability between the quick-release cover 3 and the housing 1. In addition to the fixing of the snap-fit ​​component, the magnetic attraction provides an additional connection method, making the quick-release cover 3 less prone to loosening under various environmental conditions (such as vibration, wind, etc.), ensuring the safety of the internal wiring and components of the street light. When installing the quick-release cover 3, the magnetic attraction between the magnets 6 and the iron plate 7 can help to quickly and accurately position it, so that the workers do not need to spend too much effort on precise alignment, thus improving installation efficiency.

[0028] Magnet 6 is made of neodymium iron boron N35, which is small in size but strong in magnetic force. It uses neodymium iron boron N35 permanent magnets and has a size of 10mm×5mm×2mm. The surface is nickel-plated. Iron sheet 7 is made of 2mm thick Q235 low carbon steel plate with a zinc-plated surface.

[0029] Furthermore, the side of the housing 1 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 8 for mounting the connecting plate 9. The connecting plate 9 is mounted on the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped groove 8 by bolts. The design of the arc-shaped groove 8 allows the connecting plate 9 to adjust its installation angle along the arc direction, thereby adapting to different installation scenarios (such as tilted light poles, walls, or special brackets). This flexibility allows the street light to adjust its lighting angle according to actual needs, improving lighting efficiency. The outer arc surface of the arc-shaped groove 8 has a larger contact area with the connecting plate 9, which can distribute the force more evenly compared to a flat connection, reducing local stress concentration. Especially when the street light is subjected to wind or vibration, it can effectively prevent bolts from loosening or the connection from breaking.

[0030] Furthermore, a sleeve 10 for external connection is installed on the side of the connecting plate 9. One end of the sleeve 10 is equipped with a waterproof sealing ring 11. The sleeve 10 provides a standardized interface for connecting the street light to external equipment or structures, enabling the street light to be easily connected and fixed to light poles, brackets, etc., ensuring the stability and accuracy of the connection and improving installation efficiency. The sealing ring 11 effectively prevents rainwater, dust, and other external substances from entering the street light through the gap between the sleeve 10 and the external connection point, preventing damage to internal electronic components due to moisture, extending the service life of the street light, and improving its reliability in various harsh environments.

[0031] The sealing ring 11 is made of nitrile rubber, which is oil-resistant and aging-resistant, making it suitable for waterproof sealing of outdoor streetlights.

[0032] It is worth noting that the bottom of the housing 1 has a deformation groove 12 for mounting the lamp board 14. A thermally conductive silicone pad 13 for heat conduction is installed inside the deformation groove 12. The lamp board 14 is bonded to the deformation groove 12 with thermally conductive adhesive. The deformation groove 12 can accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of the lamp board 14 during operation. When the lamp board 14 is lit, it expands due to heat. The deformation groove 12 provides sufficient space for the lamp board 14 to expand and contract freely, preventing damage to the lamp board 14 or loosening of connections due to thermal stress, thereby extending the lifespan of the lamp board 14. The thermally conductive silicone pad 13 has excellent thermal conductivity, quickly transferring the heat generated by the lamp board 14 to the housing 1, and then dissipating it into the surrounding environment through the housing 1. This helps reduce the operating temperature of the lamp board 14, improving its luminous efficiency and stability, while also reducing damage to the electronic components on the lamp board 14 caused by high temperatures, thus extending its lifespan.

[0033] The thermally conductive silicone pad 13 is made of silicone-based thermally conductive pad with a thermal conductivity of 3.0 W / m·K, which is suitable for heat dissipation of LED light panels. Its 2mm thickness can fill the deformation groove 12 tolerance to ensure tight contact.

[0034] Specifically, the recess 2 contains a mounting base 15 for fixing the power module 16. The power module 16 continuously provides power to the lamp panel 14. Installing the power module 16 on the mounting base 15 inside the recess 2 makes full use of the internal space of the street lamp housing 1, making the overall structure more compact and avoiding the space occupation and cluttered layout problems caused by externally mounted power modules 16. This is beneficial to the overall aesthetics and miniaturization design of the street lamp. The mounting base 15, located inside the recess 2, provides a certain degree of physical protection for the power module 16, reducing the impact of external factors such as collisions, dust, and moisture on the power module 16, lowering the risk of damage, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the power module 16 and extending its service life.

[0035] The power module 16 is AC220V to DC12V, with a power of 100W. 12V is the commonly used voltage for LED light board 14, and 100W can meet the power requirements of most streetlights. It has a protection rating (e.g., IP67) to adapt to outdoor environments.

[0036] More specifically, the housing 1 has symmetrically arranged heat dissipation holes 17 on both sides for cooling the power module 16. Inside each heat dissipation hole 17 is a filter cover 18 for filtering air. The heat dissipation holes 17 increase airflow, allowing the heat generated by the power module 16 to dissipate quickly to the outside. Air can enter the housing 1 through the heat dissipation holes 17, exchange heat with the heated power module 16, and then flow out, effectively reducing the temperature of the power module 16, ensuring stable performance, and extending its service life. The filter cover 18 prevents dust and debris from entering the housing 1. If dust and debris enter the housing, they may accumulate on the power module 16 or other electronic components, affecting heat dissipation and potentially causing short circuits or other malfunctions.

[0037] The filter cover 18 is made of stainless steel mesh with a mesh count of 100 and an aperture of approximately 0.15mm. It is suitable for long-term outdoor use. The 100-mesh size can effectively block dust while ensuring the passage of heat dissipation airflow.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
