Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel technology, and more specifically, to a segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connections. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, solar panels are typically flat panels placed on top of streetlights. However, this common installation method suffers from problems such as high installation difficulty and cost. Furthermore, due to the limited load-bearing capacity of streetlight poles, the area and weight of the solar panel placed on top of the pole are limited, thus limiting its solar energy absorption capacity. At the same time, since the side of the solar panel used for absorbing sunlight is usually the windward side, it is easily soiled by dust and sand, further reducing its solar energy absorption capacity. If maintenance and cleaning of the solar panels on top of the pole are required, the corresponding maintenance costs are also high.

[0003] In summary, how to provide a solar panel structure suitable for streetlights that is easy and efficient to assemble and disassemble, and has low installation and maintenance costs is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connection, which is suitable for use in street lights, and is convenient and efficient to assemble and disassemble, with low installation and maintenance costs, and can be promoted for use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connections, characterized in that it includes:

[0007] A lamp post, with a lamp installed on one side of its top;

[0008] At least four solar panels are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the light pole to form an enclosing cavity fitted onto the light pole.

[0009] A connector is provided along the length of the enclosing cavity, and the connector is used to detachably connect two adjacent solar panels;

[0010] A reinforcing member for detachably securing the ends of the plurality of solar panels;

[0011] An electrical control box is located at the top of the light pole. The solar panel is connected to the electrical control box to charge the electrical control box. The electrical control box is connected to the light fixture to control the lighting and extinguishing of the light fixture.

[0012] In one embodiment, the solar panel includes two opposing first frames arranged along the length direction of the solar panel and two opposing second frames arranged along the width direction of the solar panel, with the second frames perpendicularly disposed between the two first frames; the first frames are plugged into the connector, and the second frames are fixedly connected to the reinforcing member.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first frame has a slot along its length, and the slot has a limiting cavity inside, the size of which is larger than the slot opening size.

[0014] The connector has two symmetrically distributed locking strips for engaging with the slots. Each locking strip has a limiting part that engages with the limiting cavity, and the two locking strips of the same connector engage with the slots of two adjacent first frames respectively.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first frame is provided with a recessed groove. When the first frames of the two connectors are close together, the recessed grooves on the two adjacent first frames combine to form a limiting groove. The connector is provided with a protrusion. The protrusion is fitted into the limiting groove and cannot be dislodged from the opening of the limiting groove.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second frame is provided with two symmetrically distributed connecting ears, each connecting ear having a first mounting hole. The reinforcing member is a ring with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the lamp post. The ring has a second mounting hole at a position aligned with the first mounting hole. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are aligned for the locking member to pass through.

[0017] In one embodiment, the reinforcing member is provided with mounting slots at equal intervals along the circumference, the same number as the number of solar panels. A mounting block is provided between two adjacent mounting slots. A second mounting hole is provided in the mounting slot. A connecting block is snapped into the mounting slot. The connecting block is provided with a third mounting point aligned with the second mounting hole.

[0018] In one embodiment, the device further includes a rotating bracket for rotating the lamp and a driving member for rotating the rotating bracket. The rotating bracket is rotatably mounted on the top of the lamp post, and the driving member is located inside the lamp post. The driving member is connected to the electrical control box.

[0019] In one embodiment, both the first frame and the second frame are made of aluminum alloy.

[0020] When using the segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connection provided by this utility model, firstly, multiple solar panels can be arranged sequentially along the circumference of the light pole, and the first frames of two adjacent solar panels are connected by connectors to form a surrounding cavity fitted onto the light pole; then, the second frames of multiple solar panels are fixed by reinforcing members; next, the surrounding cavity is fitted onto the light pole, and an electrical control box is installed at the top of the light pole, and a light fixture is installed on one side of the top of the light pole; finally, the solar panels and the electrical control box are connected to charge the electrical control box through the solar panels, and the electrical control box and the light fixture are connected to control the lighting and extinguishing of the light fixture through the electrical control box.

[0021] Compared to simply installing a single small solar panel at the top of the lamp post, this application can form a polygonal assembly (i.e., a polygonal cavity formed by at least four circumferentially arrayed solar panels) around the lamp post. It can even replace the traditional lamp post, significantly increasing the overall light-receiving area of ​​the street light and improving the solar panel's ability to absorb solar energy. The stronger the solar panel's ability to absorb solar energy, the more fully the electrical control box can be charged, which helps to increase the lighting duration of the lamp.

[0022] Furthermore, adjacent solar panels in this application are detachably connected via connectors, preferably using a snap-fit ​​connection method for the solar panels and connectors. This allows for the rapid assembly of multiple solar panels to form an enclosing cavity. The snap-fit ​​method also facilitates subsequent maintenance of the solar panels, reducing maintenance costs. Moreover, the detachable reinforcement securing the ends of multiple solar panels helps improve the structural stability of the enclosing cavity. Additionally, solar panels at any angle on the light pole will collect light and generate electricity, ensuring good sunlight absorption even in the low light conditions of morning or evening. This alleviates the drawback of traditional fixed planar modules, which have high power generation efficiency only during the midday high-light period and low efficiency at other times.

[0023] In summary, the segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connection provided by this utility model is suitable for use in streetlights, and is easy and efficient to assemble and disassemble, with low installation and maintenance costs, and can be widely used.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] 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.

[0034] The core of this utility model is to provide a segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connection, which is suitable for street lighting and is easy and efficient to assemble and disassemble, with low installation and maintenance costs, and can be promoted for widespread use.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This specific embodiment provides a segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connections, including:

[0036] A lamp post, with a lamp installed on one side of its top;

[0037] Solar panel 2, at least four solar panels 2 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the light pole to form an enclosing cavity 1 fitted onto the light pole;

[0038] Connector 3 is provided along the length of the enclosing cavity 1, and connector 3 is used to detachably connect two adjacent solar panels 2;

[0039] Reinforcing member 4, which is used to detachably fix the ends of multiple solar panels 2;

[0040] An electrical control box is located at the top of the light pole. The solar panel 2 is connected to the electrical control box to charge it. The electrical control box is also connected to the light fixture to control its illumination and shutdown.

[0041] It should be noted that the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be connected by welding or bolting. In actual application, the shape, structure, number, size, and position of the light pole, solar panel 2, connector 3, reinforcing member 4, and electrical control box can be determined according to the actual situation and needs.

[0042] When using the segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connection provided by this utility model, firstly, multiple solar panels 2 can be arranged sequentially along the circumference of the light pole, and the first frame 21 of two adjacent solar panels 2 are connected by connectors 3 to form a surrounding cavity 1 fitted on the light pole; then, the second frame 22 of multiple solar panels 2 is fixed by reinforcing members 4; then, the surrounding cavity 1 is fitted on the light pole, and an electrical control box is installed at the top of the light pole, and a light fixture is installed on one side of the top of the light pole; finally, the solar panels 2 and the electrical control box are connected to charge the electrical control box through the solar panels 2, and the electrical control box and the light fixture are connected to control the lighting and extinguishing of the light fixture through the electrical control box.

[0043] Compared to simply installing a single small solar panel at the top of the lamp post, this application can form a polygonal assembly (i.e., a polygonal cavity 1 formed by at least four circumferentially arrayed solar panels 2) around the lamp post. It can even replace the traditional lamp post, significantly increasing the overall light-receiving area of ​​the lamp and improving the solar panel 2's ability to absorb solar energy. The stronger the solar panel 2's ability to absorb solar energy, the more fully the electrical control box can be charged, which helps to increase the lighting duration of the lamp.

[0044] Furthermore, in this application, two adjacent solar panels 2 are detachably connected via connectors 3. Preferably, the solar panels 2 and connectors 3 are connected via a snap-fit ​​method, allowing for the rapid assembly of multiple solar panels 2 to form the enclosing cavity 1. This snap-fit ​​method also facilitates later maintenance of the solar panels 2, reducing maintenance costs. Moreover, the reinforcing member 4 detachably secures the ends of multiple solar panels 2, contributing to improved structural stability of the enclosing cavity 1. Additionally, solar panels 2 can collect light and generate electricity at any angle on the light pole. Even when the light angle is low in the morning or evening, the solar panels 2 can still receive adequate sunlight, mitigating the drawback of traditional fixed planar modules that have high power generation efficiency only during the midday high-light period and low efficiency at other times.

[0045] In summary, the segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connection provided by this utility model is suitable for use in streetlights, and is easy and efficient to assemble and disassemble, with low installation and maintenance costs, and can be widely used.

[0046] In one embodiment, the solar panel 2 includes two oppositely distributed first frame 21s arranged along the length direction of the solar panel 2 and two oppositely distributed second frame 22s arranged along the width direction of the solar panel 2, with the second frame 22 perpendicularly disposed between the two first frame 21s; the first frame 21s are connected to the connector 3 by insertion, and the second frame 22s are fixedly connected to the reinforcing member 4.

[0047] It should be noted that each solar panel 2 has two first frame 21 along its length. The first frame 21 of two adjacent solar panels 2 are connected to the connector 3 by insertion, which can ensure the lateral positioning accuracy when the components are arranged in sequence. The second frame 22 along the width of the solar panel 2 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing member 4 to improve the rigidity of the surrounding cavity 1. That is, through the connector 3 and the reinforcing member 4, the solar panels 2 can be connected in series to form a relatively stable overall structure, which can effectively resist wind load and vibration.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first frame 21 has a slot 211 along its length, and a limiting cavity 2111 is provided inside the slot 211. The size of the limiting cavity 2111 is larger than the size of the slot opening of the slot 211. The connector 3 has two symmetrically distributed locking strips 31 for engaging with the slot 211. The locking strips 31 have a limiting part 32 for engaging with the limiting cavity 2111, and the two locking strips 31 of the same connector 3 are respectively engaged with the slots 211 of two adjacent first frames 21.

[0049] It should be noted that after the locking strip 31 is installed into the locking groove 211, the limiting part 32 is engaged with the limiting cavity 2111. The limiting cavity 2111 can effectively prevent the locking strip 31 from coming out of the groove of the locking groove 211 when subjected to force or vibration. That is, the locking strip 31 can only slide in the locking groove 211 and cannot come out from the groove of the locking groove 211. The locking strip 31 will be locked by the cooperation of the limiting part 32 and the limiting cavity 2111.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first frame 21 is provided with a recessed groove 212. When the first frames 21 of the two connectors 3 are close together, the recessed grooves 212 on the two adjacent first frames 21 combine to form a limiting groove 6. The connector 3 is provided with a protrusion 33. The protrusion 33 is fitted into the limiting groove 6 and cannot be dislodged from the opening of the limiting groove 6.

[0051] It should be noted that after the protrusion 33 is embedded in the limiting groove 6, it withstands shear force, which helps reduce the possibility of damage to the limiting part 32 during use. The protrusion 33 can be positioned between the two retaining strips 31 of the connector 3. In practical applications, both the protrusion 33 and the retaining strips 31 serve to prevent the connector 3 from detaching from the center position of the segmented smart light pole based on modular mechanical connection.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second frame 22 is provided with two symmetrically distributed connecting ears 221. The connecting ears 221 are provided with a first mounting hole. The reinforcing member 4 is a ring with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the lamp post. The ring is provided with a second mounting hole at the position aligned with the first mounting hole. After the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are aligned, they are used to pass through the locking member.

[0053] It should be noted that the second frame 22 can cover the connector 3, effectively limiting the connector 3 from sliding out of the two ends of the slot 211 when subjected to force, vibration, or external impact, thus preventing component misalignment or loosening. Furthermore, the size and position of the connecting ears 221 can be pre-set on the second frame 22, corresponding one-to-one with the corresponding connecting surfaces of the reinforcing member 4, facilitating precise "one-to-one" docking during on-site installation without the need for repeated measurements and adjustments. The connecting ears 221 are connected to the reinforcing member 4 via locking devices (bolts or rivets). During the connection process, the locking devices are positioned along the length of the surrounding cavity 1, facilitating the fixed connection of multiple solar panels 2 using the reinforcing member 4.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the reinforcing member 4 has mounting slots 41 spaced evenly along the circumference, the same number as the solar panels 2. A mounting block is provided between adjacent mounting slots 41. A second mounting hole is provided within each mounting slot 41. A connecting block 5 is engaged within each mounting slot 41, and the connecting block 5 has a third mounting point aligned with the second mounting hole. The mounting slots 41 on the reinforcing member 4 are arranged evenly along the circumference or at a specific angle. The mounting slots 41 can automatically guide the connecting block 5 into position during installation, achieving precise alignment. Furthermore, the connecting block 5 can be installed within the mounting slot 41, and then secured by a locking element (bolt) passing through the first, second, and third mounting holes to fix the second frame 22, the reinforcing member 4, and the connecting block 5. When two adjacent segmented smart light poles based on modular mechanical connections are connected (referring to two segmented smart light poles based on modular mechanical connections along the length of the surrounding cavity 1), the connecting block 5 simultaneously engages within the mounting slots 41 of the two adjacent segmented smart light poles based on modular mechanical connections.

[0055] In one embodiment, the lamp further includes a rotating bracket for rotating the lamp and a driving component for rotating the rotating bracket. The rotating bracket is rotatably mounted on the top of the lamp post, and the driving component is located inside the lamp post. The driving component is connected to the electrical control box. Therefore, the electrical control box can control the operation of the driving component (e.g., through pre-programming, remote control, etc.). When the driving component is running, it can drive the rotating bracket to rotate, so that the lamp rotates at an appropriate angle, thereby changing the illumination range of the lamp.

[0056] In one embodiment, both the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are made of aluminum alloy to improve the structural strength of the solar panel 2, which helps to ensure the effectiveness and service life of the device.

[0057] It should be noted that the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, the first shooting hole 111 and the second shooting hole 131 mentioned in this application are only distinguished by their different positions and do not have any order of precedence.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by "top" and other terms in this application is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the purpose of simplifying the description and making it easier to understand, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably.
