Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of airport runway lighting technology, specifically relating to a low-position light assembly for airport runway inspection vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Aircraft travel at high speeds during takeoff and landing at airports. Even small foreign objects on the runway, such as stones, metal fragments, or plastic bags, can cause serious damage to critical components like landing gear and tires, and may even lead to serious accidents like tire blowouts. Furthermore, frequent takeoffs and landings cause wear and tear on the runway, and environmental factors can also cause unevenness or cracks in the runway surface. Inspections can identify these problems, remove these intrusive foreign objects, and promptly arrange runway maintenance to ensure the runway maintains good flatness and meets the safety requirements for aircraft takeoff and landing.

[0003] When conducting airport runway inspections at night, it is necessary to use lighting for the inspection. However, the lighting design of existing inspection vehicles is unreasonable and cannot better assist inspectors in clearly observing the runway surface and the surrounding environment, which may lead to the overlooking of potential dangers and obstacles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a low-position light assembly for airport runway patrol vehicles, addressing the unreasonable design of lighting lights on existing patrol vehicles.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A low-position lighting assembly for an airport runway inspection vehicle includes a main support frame, a connecting support frame, a spotlight, and a diffuser; the main support frame is detachably and staggeredly fixed with a plurality of spotlights and diffusers; the bottom of the main support frame is provided with a connecting support frame; the main support frame is fixedly mounted in front of the airport runway inspection vehicle via the connecting support frame.

[0007] Furthermore, swept-back side wing supports are horizontally fixed on both sides of the main support, and the spotlight is detachably fixedly connected to the side wing supports.

[0008] Furthermore, the top surface of the side wing support is parallel to the top surface of the main support but not at the same height.

[0009] Preferably, the sweep angle θ of the side wing support is 10-20 degrees.

[0010] Furthermore, the side wing support is provided with several equidistant threaded fixing holes; the spotlight is detachably fixed to the side wing support by bolts engaging with the threaded fixing holes.

[0011] Furthermore, a light-shielding awning is provided above the spotlight.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting bracket includes a connecting rod that is integrally and vertically fixedly connected to the main bracket; the connecting rod has at least three through holes on its side; a connecting sleeve is sleeved on the connecting rod, and the connecting sleeve has at least two connecting holes corresponding to the through holes; the connecting rod and the connecting sleeve are fixedly connected by bolts that fit the connecting holes and the through holes.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting rod has a rectangular cross-section.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model adopts a staggered distribution of spotlights and diffused spotlights, and a swept-back fixing method to distribute the light emitted by the spotlights and diffused spotlights at multiple angles, providing the track inspectors with a relatively three-dimensional visual effect of foreign objects, and better assisting the track inspectors in observing the airport runway conditions.

[0020] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0021] A low-position lighting system for an airport runway inspection vehicle includes a main support 1, a connecting support 2, spotlights 3, and diffused spotlights 4. Several spotlights 3 and diffused spotlights 4 are detachably and staggeredly fixed on the main support 1. The spotlights 3 project light onto a distant area in front of the airport runway inspection vehicle, creating a relatively bright area. Foreign objects on the runway will stand out from their surroundings under the illumination of the spotlights 3, making them easier for inspection personnel to spot. The diffused spotlights evenly disperse light around the near front of the airport runway inspection vehicle, supplementing illumination in blind spots and preventing glare caused by excessively concentrated light, thus better assisting inspection personnel in observing the runway conditions. When they are staggered, the areas illuminated by the spotlights and diffused spotlights complement each other, resulting in a more uniform light distribution throughout the space and avoiding uneven lighting. The main support 1 is provided with a connecting bracket 2 at its bottom; the main support 1 is fixedly installed in front of the airport runway inspection vehicle through the connecting bracket 2.

[0022] The main support 1 has horizontally fixed sweeping side wing supports 5 on both sides, and the same spotlights 3 are detachably fixed to the side wing supports 5. The light-emitting surface of the spotlights 3 fixed to the side wing supports 5 is parallel to the side wing supports 5, illuminating the front of the airport runway inspection vehicle from different angles. By coordinating with the vehicle's movement, the illumination angle of foreign objects on the airport runway can be gradually changed, providing inspection personnel with a three-dimensional visual effect of foreign objects.

[0023] To further enhance the three-dimensionality of the outline and shape of any foreign objects that may be present at the airport, the top surface of the side wing bracket 5, which is used to fix the spotlight 3, is parallel to but not at the same height as the top surface of the main bracket 1 used to fix the spotlight 3. The sweep angle θ of the side wing bracket 5 is 10-20 degrees. When the spotlights 3 are not at the same height, the angles of their emitted light are different, forming a triangular illumination pattern, centered on the low-position lights at the front of the airport runway inspection vehicle, and distributed in an arc.

[0024] Furthermore, the side wing support 5 is provided with several equidistant threaded fixing holes 51; the spotlight 3 is detachably fixed to the side wing support 5 by bolts engaging with the threaded fixing holes 51. The threaded fixing holes 51 allow adjustment of the angle range of the spotlights 3 illuminating the side front, resulting in greater adaptability. A light-shielding awning 31 is provided above the spotlight 3, which, on the one hand, focuses the light, making it more concentrated and projected onto the target area; on the other hand, it greatly reduces the light projected into the sky, lowering the safety risks to aircraft flying over the airport.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting bracket 2 includes a connecting rod 21 that is integrally and vertically fixedly connected to the main bracket 1; the connecting rod 21 has at least three through holes 22 on its side; a connecting sleeve 23 is sleeved on the connecting rod 21, and the connecting sleeve 23 has at least two connecting holes 24 corresponding to the through holes 22; the connecting rod 24 and the connecting sleeve 23 are fixedly connected to each other by bolts that fit between the connecting holes 24 and the through holes 22. The connecting rod 21 has a rectangular cross-section. This method allows for adjustment of the horizontal extension length of the connecting bracket, thereby adapting to more types of airport runway inspection vehicles.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
