[0026] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a smart light pole combined with a folding seat, including a light pole body 1, a base 2, and a foldable seat assembly 3. The light pole body 1 is fixed to the center of the top surface of the base 2, and the base 2 is disc-shaped and horizontally arranged. The foldable seat assembly 3 includes a foldable seat plate 4, a support frame 5, and a locking mechanism 6. The foldable seat plate 4 is connected to the outer wall of the light pole body 1 via a hinge 7. When not in use, the foldable seat plate 4 is vertically folded up against the outer wall of the light pole body 1. The support frame 5 is connected to the bottom of the foldable seat plate 4 via a pivot 8. The rear end is connected, and the bottom of the support frame 5 is provided with a sliding groove 9, and a slider 10 is embedded in the sliding groove 9. The slider 10 is connected to the locking mechanism 6 through the connecting rod 11. The locking mechanism 6 is fixed to the outer wall of the lamp post body 1 and located below the hinge 7. The outer wall of the lamp post body 1 and located above the hinge 7 is provided with a guide rail 12, and a sliding block 13 is embedded in the guide rail 12. The sliding block 13 is connected to the front end of the top of the folding seat plate 4 through a telescopic rod. The two ends of the telescopic rod are respectively hinged to the sliding block 13 and the folding seat plate 4, and an elastic element 14 is provided inside the telescopic rod.
[0028] Specifically, several auxiliary support columns 15 are evenly distributed along the top edge of the base 2, and the top of the auxiliary support columns 15 is connected to the bottom of the support frame 5 through a rotary joint. The auxiliary support columns 15 are equipped with a hydraulic damping device 16, which is connected to the inside of the support frame 5 through a pipe. With the above arrangement, when the folding seat plate 4 is unfolded and used, the auxiliary support columns 15 can provide additional stability and support force. At the same time, the hydraulic damping device 16 can effectively slow down the descent speed of the folding seat plate 4, avoid the impact and noise caused by rapid descent, and improve the user experience.
[0029] Specifically, the locking mechanism 6 includes a housing 17, a locking tongue 18, and a return spring 19. The housing 17 is fixed to the outer wall of the lamp post body 1, and the housing 17 has a cavity inside. The locking tongue 18 is hinged to the front end of the housing 17 by a pin, and the rear end of the locking tongue 18 is connected to one end of the return spring 19. The other end of the return spring 19 is fixed to the inner rear wall of the housing 17. The front end of the locking tongue 18 has a bevel, and the bevel faces downward. The end of the connecting rod 11 has a wedge block 20 that matches the bevel at the front end of the locking tongue 18. When the wedge block 20 contacts the bevel, it pushes the locking tongue 18 to move into the housing 17. Through the above arrangement, when the folding seat plate 4 is folded up, the wedge block 20 at the end of the connecting rod 11 separates from the bevel at the front end of the locking tongue 18, and the return spring 19 pushes the locking tongue 18 to return to its original position. The front end of the locking tongue 18 extends out of the housing 17 and is locked into the slot on the bottom surface of the folding seat plate 4, thereby locking the folding seat plate 4 and preventing the folding seat plate 4 from unfolding on its own without operation, thus improving the safety of use.
[0030] Specifically, a reinforcing rib 21 is provided on the bottom surface of the folding seat plate 4 in front of the pivot 8. The reinforcing rib 21 is distributed in a V-shape. The front end of the reinforcing rib 21 is fixed to the front end of the bottom surface of the folding seat plate 4, and the rear end of the reinforcing rib 21 is fixed to the outer wall of the pivot 8. The reinforcing rib 21 has a cavity inside, and the cavity is filled with elastic material. Several micro springs 22 are provided between the top surface of the reinforcing rib 21 and the bottom surface of the folding seat plate 4. The micro springs 22 are evenly distributed along the length of the reinforcing rib 21. Through the above arrangement, the folding seat plate 4 can be buffered by the reinforcing rib 21 and the micro springs 22 when subjected to force, which enhances the load-bearing capacity and service life of the folding seat plate 4. At the same time, the V-shaped distribution of the reinforcing ribs 21 can also improve the overall structural strength of the folding seat plate 4, avoid deformation or damage during use, and further improve the user experience.
[0031] Specifically, the hinge 7 is equipped with a torsion spring 23, and the two ends of the torsion spring 23 are fixed to the outer wall of the lamp post body 1 and the inner wall of the folding seat plate 4, respectively. The outer wall of the hinge 7 is equipped with a damping washer 24. Through the above settings, the torsion spring 23 can provide a certain assistance during the unfolding or folding of the folding seat plate 4, making the operation more effortless. At the same time, the damping washer 24 can reduce the friction and noise of the hinge 7 during the rotation process, increasing the comfort of use.
[0032] Specifically, the slide groove 9 is equipped with a ball bearing 25, and the bottom of the slider 10 is equipped with a groove 26 that matches the ball bearing 25. Through the above settings, the slider 10 slides more smoothly inside the slide groove 9, reducing frictional resistance and improving sliding efficiency. At the same time, the ball bearing 25 can also effectively prevent the slider 10 from getting stuck or shifting during the sliding process, ensuring the stability and safety of the folding seat plate 4 during use.
[0033] Specifically, one side of the foldable seat assembly 3 is fixed to the adjustment plate 29, which is located inside the lamp post body 1. The adjustment plate 29 is connected to the first lead screw 28, which is adjusted via the adjustment handle 30. With the above configuration, the user can rotate the adjustment handle 30 to rotate the first lead screw 28 according to actual needs. During the rotation, the first lead screw 28 pushes the adjustment plate 29 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the foldable seat assembly 3 to meet the usage needs of users of different heights.
[0034] Specifically, a backrest cushion 27 is also provided on the upper end of the adjustment plate 29, and a second screw 31 for adjusting the angle is provided on the inner side of the backrest cushion 27. With the above settings, users can comfortably lean on the backrest cushion 27 when using the smart light pole, increasing the comfort and experience of use. The backrest cushion angle can also be adjusted through the second screw 31, making it more convenient to use.
[0035] A specific application example of this embodiment is as follows:
[0036] When this device is in use, if the folding seat 4 needs to be unfolded as a seat, the user pushes the folding seat 4 outward to flip it over. At this time, the torsion spring 23 in the hinge 7 provides a certain amount of assistance, so that the folding seat 4 can unfold smoothly. At the same time, the damping washer 24 prevents the folding seat 4 from suddenly popping open and causing danger. As the folding seat 4 unfolds, the telescopic rod is stretched, the sliding block 13 moves upward along the guide rail 12, and the elastic element 14 inside the telescopic rod is gradually compressed to provide a cushioning effect. At the same time, the support frame 5 rotates as the folding seat 4 unfolds, the slider 10 moves backward along the slide groove 9, and the connecting rod 11 drives the wedge block 20 to move towards the locking tongue 18. When the wedge block 20 contacts the lock... When the front end of the tongue 18 is inclined, it pushes the locking tongue 18 to retract into the housing 17, and the return spring 19 is compressed until the wedge block 20 completely passes through the locking tongue 18. The locking tongue 18 is reset under the action of the return spring 19 and locks the wedge block 20 in the current position, thereby completing the unfolding and locking of the folding seat plate 4. During the unfolding process of the folding seat plate 4, the auxiliary support column 15 adjusts the angle through the rotary joint and provides stable support force through the hydraulic damping device 16 to ensure the stability of the folding seat plate 4. When the folding seat plate 4 is subjected to pressure, the elastic material inside the reinforcing rib 21 and the micro spring 22 work together to absorb the impact force and disperse it throughout the folding seat plate 4, improving its resistance to deformation.
