Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light probe technology, specifically to a small-sized explosion-proof light probe that can be adjusted 360°. Background Technology
[0002] Offshore platform equipment has increasingly higher requirements for energy conservation. Lighting accounts for a significant portion of the platform's total power consumption. Since lighting is not required when there is sufficient light during the day, light sensors are needed to collect external illuminance to adjust the lighting intensity of the lamps.
[0003] Currently, light probes typically have the function of adjusting the installation angle, but either the adjustment angle is limited or the structure is complex and inconvenient to adjust, making it difficult to align with the light source. Moreover, most of them are directly fixed with bolts, which makes disassembly during each maintenance quite troublesome. There is an urgent need to design a small-sized explosion-proof light probe that can be adjusted 360° to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small-sized explosion-proof light probe that can be adjusted 360°, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A small-volume explosion-proof light probe that can be adjusted 360° includes a housing, a cover installed on one side of the housing, a light probe rotatably fitted inside the housing, a fixing mechanism that cooperates with the light probe between the housing and the cover, tempered glass inside the cover, and a mounting post between the housing and the cover.
[0007] The bottom of the mounting column is provided with a joint, the bottom of the mounting column is provided with a first connecting plate, and the top of the joint is provided with a second connecting plate. Both the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are provided with multiple corresponding adjustment grooves. The adjustment grooves are arc-shaped, and adjustment bolts are provided between two corresponding adjustment grooves.
[0008] Furthermore, rotating rods are provided on both sides of the optical probe, and rotating grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the housing. The two rotating rods are respectively rotatably engaged in the two rotating grooves. The fixing mechanism includes multiple slots opened on the periphery of one end of the two rotating rods and two insert rods provided on one side of the housing cover. The insert rods are inserted into the slots.
[0009] Furthermore, a limiting ring is provided at the top of the mounting column, and the bottom of the outer shell and the shell cover are engaged with the limiting ring. A positioning groove is provided on one side of the limiting ring, and a corresponding insertion block is provided on one side of the shell cover.
[0010] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided inside the shell cover, and the tempered glass is bonded to the mounting groove with silicone.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the connector is rotatably fitted with a rotating sealing ring, and the bottom of the mounting post is provided with a fixed sealing ring. Both the top of the rotating sealing ring and the bottom of the fixed sealing ring are provided with engaging teeth.
[0012] Furthermore, one end of each of the multiple adjustment slots on the second connecting plate is provided with a through slot, and the adjustment bolt includes a bolt body, a washer, and a nut.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the explosion-proof light probe with a small volume and 360° adjustable size provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The adjustable groove allows the tightness of the adjusting bolt to be adjusted, and the outer casing can be rotated to move the adjusting bolt along the adjusting groove, thus adjusting the direction of rotation. Separating the outer casing and cover allows the angle of the light probe to be adjusted. The adjustment structure is simple, making it easy for the light probe to be aligned with the light source for precise adjustment. With the adjustable bolt, each maintenance only requires loosening the adjusting bolt, without having to completely disassemble the adjusting bolt for rotation adjustment, reducing the hassle of disassembly each time.
