Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of guide light technology, and in particular relates to a coastal guide light that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Coastal navigation lights, primarily known as navigational aids, are maritime navigation facilities that help ships determine their course and avoid hazards. Their function is to guide ships through light signals, ensuring they navigate along safe routes and marking dangerous areas such as shipwrecks and reefs. They also provide positioning references to help navigators determine their own position. Navigational lights typically use combinations of red, green, and white lights; for example, red indicates port navigation and green indicates starboard navigation, conveying dynamic information through different light combinations. Navigational lights are the "traffic lights" of maritime traffic, and their regular maintenance and seasonal adjustments (such as replacing them with new ones in spring) ensure safe navigation.

[0003] Current coastal guide lights are not removable. The existing installation method completely buries the lower part of the light underground. When the light malfunctions or is damaged, maintenance personnel must dig out the entire buried portion to repair or replace it. To solve this problem, it is necessary to design a coastal guide light that is easy to install. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an easy-to-install coastal guide light to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an easy-to-install coastal guide light, comprising:

[0006] The base has a vertical rod at its upper end, and a lamp is fixedly installed at the upper end of the vertical rod. The base has a groove and multiple through holes arranged in a circular array. The through holes and the groove are in communication. The lower end of the vertical rod is shaped like a screw. The top of the base has a connecting hole with a threaded wire matching the lower end of the vertical rod. The lower end of the vertical rod is threaded into the connecting hole.

[0007] Preferably, a limit ring is fixedly installed at the lower end of the vertical rod, two symmetrically distributed guide strips are fixedly installed on the outer side of the vertical rod, a movable sleeve is provided on the outer sleeve of the vertical rod, the guide strips pass through the movable sleeve, and the movable sleeve is slidably installed on the vertical rod.

[0008] Preferably, the movable sleeve is fixedly mounted with a plurality of ultrasonic sensors arranged in a circular array, the upper end of the vertical rod is fixedly mounted with a controller, and the vertical rod is fixedly mounted with a plurality of tweeters arranged in a circular array.

[0009] Preferably, a protective cover is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical rod, and the protective cover covers the lamp.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of warning lights arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the outside of the protective cover.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the movable sleeve is provided with a float plate, the float plate is sleeved outside the vertical rod, and a plurality of connecting blocks are fixedly connected between the float plate and the movable sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the movable sleeve is provided with an annular ring, which is rotatably mounted on the outside of the movable sleeve, and a cotton loop is provided and fixedly connected to the annular ring.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the coastal guide light provided by this utility model, which is easy to install, has the following advantages:

[0014] The installation of the vertical pole and light fixture is achieved by embedding the base into a coastal pit, then pouring concrete into the groove, and finally threading the lower end of the vertical pole into the connection hole. Disassembly of the vertical pole and light fixture is accomplished by rotating it and removing it from the connection hole. Similarly, when disassembly is needed, simply reverse the rotation of the vertical pole to easily remove it from the connection hole, facilitating maintenance, replacement, or repositioning of the light fixture without requiring specialized tools or complex disassembly procedures, thus simplifying maintenance and repair of the guide light.

[0015] Multiple ultrasonic sensors on the protective cover continuously emit ultrasonic pulses into the surrounding environment and calculate the distance to obstacles by receiving reflected waves. When the controller determines that an obstacle is approaching within a set safe distance, it immediately activates a high-brightness warning light array on the outside of the protective cover to flash. The conspicuous colors attract the attention of personnel on board the vessel both day and night, reminding them to take evasive action and effectively reducing the probability of collisions. Simultaneously, the controller also activates a loud alarm sound from a high-pitched horn array on the vertical mast. In low-visibility conditions, such as fog or night, the audible warning compensates for the lack of visual warning, further alerting those nearby and providing double protection for maritime safety.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0022] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] A preferred embodiment of the easy-to-install coastal guide light provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 4 As shown:

[0024] An easy-to-install coastal guide light includes:

[0025] The base 1 has a vertical rod 2 at its upper end, and a lamp 3 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the vertical rod 2. The base 1 has a groove 4 inside, and multiple through holes 5 arranged in a circular array on the base 1. The through holes 5 and the groove 4 are in a connected state. The lower end of the vertical rod 2 is set as a screw. The top of the base 1 has a connecting hole 6. The connecting hole 6 has a threaded line that matches the lower end of the vertical rod 2. The lower end of the vertical rod 2 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole 6.

[0026] In this embodiment, a pit of suitable size is pre-dug on the coastline, the base 1 is placed into the pit, and concrete is poured into the groove 4. The concrete flows out through the through-hole 5 and into the external pit, thereby fixing the base 1 in place. The lower end of the vertical rod 2 is then threaded into the connecting hole 6, thus installing the vertical rod 2 and the lamp 3. The vertical rod 2 and the lamp 3 can be disassembled by rotating the vertical rod 2 and removing it from the connecting hole 6.

[0027] With a simple rotation, the lower end of the vertical pole can be threaded into the connecting hole, enabling quick installation of the vertical pole and the light fixture. Similarly, when disassembly is required, simply rotate the vertical pole in the opposite direction to easily remove it from the connecting hole. This facilitates maintenance, replacement, or repositioning of the light fixture without the need for specialized tools or complex disassembly procedures, making maintenance and repair of the guide lights convenient.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model:

[0029] A limiting ring 7 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the vertical rod 2. Two symmetrically distributed guide strips 8 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the vertical rod 2. A movable sleeve 9 is provided on the outer sleeve of the vertical rod 2. The guide strips 8 pass through the movable sleeve 9, and the movable sleeve 9 is slidably installed on the vertical rod 2. The lower end of the movable sleeve 9 is limited by the limiting ring 7.

[0030] Multiple ultrasonic sensors 10 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the movable sleeve 9. A controller 11 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the vertical rod 2, and multiple high-frequency speakers 12 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the vertical rod 2. A protective cover 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the vertical rod 2, covering the lamp 3. Multiple warning lights 14 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed outside the protective cover 13. A float plate 15 is provided at the lower end of the movable sleeve 9, which is sleeved on the vertical rod 2. Multiple connecting blocks 16 are fixedly connected between the float plate 15 and the movable sleeve 9. An annular ring 17 is rotatably installed on the movable sleeve 9, and a buffer flexible ring 18 is fixedly connected to the annular ring 17.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lower end of the movable sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the float 15 via multiple connecting blocks 16, and the float 15 is sleeved on the outside of the vertical rod 2. Because the float 15 has buoyancy, it floats up and down with changes in the water level along the coast. When the water level rises, the buoyancy on the float 15 increases, causing the movable sleeve 9 to slide upwards along the vertical rod 2; when the water level falls, the float 15 falls, and the movable sleeve 9 slides downwards accordingly.

[0032] Multiple ultrasonic sensors 10 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the movable sleeve 9. These sensors continuously emit ultrasonic pulses into the surrounding environment. When the ultrasonic waves encounter obstacles (such as ships, floating objects, etc.), they are reflected back. The ultrasonic sensors 10 receive the reflected waves and calculate the time difference between transmission and reception, and then calculate the distance between the guide light and the obstacle based on the speed of ultrasonic waves in the air. Multiple sensors work together to monitor the environment around the guide light from all directions. The controller 11, fixedly installed at the upper end of the vertical pole 2, receives the distance data from the ultrasonic sensors 10 and performs real-time analysis and processing. When the controller 11 determines that an obstacle is approaching within the set safe distance, it identifies a collision hazard and triggers a safety warning mechanism.

[0033] Multiple warning lights 14 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the outside of the protective cover 13. When the controller 11 detects danger, it immediately controls the warning lights 14 to start flashing. The warning lights 14 use high brightness and conspicuous colors to attract the attention of people on board the vessel both day and night, reminding them to take evasive action and avoid collisions.

[0034] Multiple high-volume speakers 12 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the vertical pole 2. When the controller 11 determines that there is a collision hazard, in addition to illuminating the warning light 14, it will also control the high-volume speakers 12 to emit a loud alarm sound. The alarm sound can further alert people in the surrounding area, especially in low visibility conditions (such as foggy days or nights), where the sound warning can compensate for the lack of visual warning and improve the safety effect.

[0035] The protective cover 13 covers the lamp 3, serving to protect it. It prevents damage to the lamp 3 from waves, rain, sand, etc., extends the lifespan of the lamp 3, and ensures that the guide light can illuminate normally in harsh coastal environments, providing guidance for ships.

[0036] When the lower end of the vertical rod 2 receives an external impact, the buffer flexible ring 18 can absorb and disperse the impact force through its own elastic deformation, reducing the impact on the vertical rod 2 and protecting the stability of the entire guide light structure. The impact force acts on the buffer flexible ring 18, and is rotatably mounted on the outside of the movable sleeve 9 by setting an annular ring 17. The annular ring 17 can rotate under the action of the impact force, thereby releasing part of the impact force.
