The decorative cover 160 is placed over the connection between the connector 130 and the base 110 to cover the connecting bolts 180.

[0026] This application features an adjustable support 120 on the base 110. The length of the adjustable support 120 is telescopic, ensuring the traffic light 100 remains level even when placed on uneven ground. Both the adjustable support 120 and the connector 130 are detachably mounted on the base 110. The solar panel 140 and the traffic light 150 are detachably connected to the connector 130, allowing for easy disassembly and transportation of the traffic light 150100. Furthermore, a decorative cover 160 is installed at the connection between the connector 130 and the base 110, concealing the connecting bolts 180 and enhancing the aesthetics of the traffic light 150100.

[0027] Among them, signal control, communication and networking related equipment includes signal control host, power supply equipment, communication equipment, power distribution protection equipment, traffic flow detection equipment and environmental monitoring equipment.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 The adjustable support members 120 include four, respectively located at the four corners of the base 110, which can keep the traffic light 100 balanced in various positions.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 Both the counterweight cavity 111 and the equipment cavity 112 are square cavities, making the overall design more grand and aesthetically pleasing.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-2The signal light 150 is detachably mounted on the connector 130 via the retaining ring 170.

[0038] Using the 170 clamp structure as the connection structure allows for easy and flexible disassembly and removal of the signal light 150.

[0039] More specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 130 includes a vertical rod 131 and a horizontal rod 132. The horizontal rod 132 is also mounted on the vertical rod 131 via a retaining ring 170. A signal light 150 is mounted on the vertical rod 131 and a signal light 150 is also mounted on the horizontal rod 132. Both signal lights 150 are mounted on the vertical rod 131 and the horizontal rod 132 via retaining rings 170.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-2 A sleeve 141 is connected to the back of the solar panel 140. The sleeve 141 is fitted onto the connector 130 and is detachably connected to the connector 130. More specifically, the sleeve 141 is detachably installed onto the connector 130 by bolts.
