Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar lighthouse technology, specifically relating to a folding light frame for a solar lighthouse. Background Technology

[0002] When working at night in disaster relief, rescue, or construction operations, high-brightness temporary lighting equipment is required. Currently, the common solution is to temporarily erect lighthouses, and solar-powered lighthouses can effectively solve the lighting problem when there is no power source. The structural design of the lighthouse frame affects its flexibility in transportation, installation, and use.

[0003] A hand-push solar-powered lighthouse, with announcement number CN216769115U, includes a lighthouse chassis. A movable photovoltaic module is installed on the left side of the top of the lighthouse chassis. A charging box is installed on the top of the lighthouse chassis and to the right of the movable photovoltaic module. An LED light control switch box is provided on the surface of the charging box. An AC power socket and an LED light power socket are provided on the surface of the charging box. An LED light lifting assembly is installed on the top of the lighthouse chassis and to the right of the LED light control switch box. A handrail is installed on the right side of the lighthouse chassis. Casters are installed at the bottom of the lighthouse chassis. The LED light lifting assembly includes a lifting mast, which is installed on the right side of the top of the lighthouse chassis. A winch is installed on the right side of the lifting mast. An LED light is installed on the top of the lifting mast.

[0004] The aforementioned solar-powered lighthouse utilizes mobile photovoltaic modules and solar panels to convert energy into electricity, providing power to the lighthouse through solar power generation. This process is noiseless and pollution-free. After being charged by solar energy during the day, the lighthouse can be quickly put into use at night, saving non-renewable energy. Furthermore, the mobile photovoltaic modules allow for adjustment of the position of the first solar panel, ensuring that the solar panel can fully absorb sunlight and achieve maximum energy utilization. The wheels at the bottom of the lighthouse make it easier to move.

[0005] In the above technical solution, the lifting mast is a fixed structure, which is not convenient to fold and store during transportation, occupies a lot of space during transportation, and makes it difficult to flexibly adjust the angle of the LED lights according to actual needs during installation, making it inconvenient to adapt to different lighting scenarios and transportation conditions.

[0038] See appendix Figure 1-6As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a folding light frame for a solar-powered lighthouse, including a support assembly 100 mounted on a light pole, a folding assembly 200 movably mounted on the support assembly 100 capable of horizontal folding, and a load-bearing assembly 300 movably mounted on the folding assembly 200 for mounting the lighthouse light fixture. A locking assembly A400 is provided between the support assembly 100 and the folding assembly 200, and a locking assembly B500 is provided between the folding assembly 200 and the load-bearing assembly 300. Both locking assemblies A400 and B500 can lock the rotation angle. The folding assembly 200 can rotate horizontally from 0-90° or 0-45° via the locking assembly A400, and the load-bearing assembly 300 can rotate vertically from 0-180° via the locking assembly B500.

[0039] Locking component A400 includes a support plate A410 disposed on the support component 100, with two insertion holes A420 on the support plate A410. The bottom of the folding component 200 is provided with a pin A430 that mates with the insertion holes A420. Locking component B500 includes a support plate B510 disposed on the folding component 200, with two insertion holes B520 on the support plate B510. The bottom of the load-bearing component 300 is provided with a pin B530 that mates with the insertion holes B520. A three-layer foldable structure of support, folding and load-bearing is constructed. For the first time, the horizontal and vertical bidirectional angle adjustment function is integrated into the lamp holder, solving the defect of traditional lamp holders that are fixed and cannot be adjusted, so that the lamp holder has both convenient storage and lighting flexibility.

[0040] The support assembly 100 includes a support 110, on which a support rod 120 is horizontally mounted. The folding assembly 200 has a locking assembly A400 at each end of the support rod 120. A rotating seat A121 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 120, and a support plate A410 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat A121. The support rod 120 provides a symmetrical support structure. The hinged design of the rotating seat A121 and the rotating seat B220 provides a stable rotation fulcrum for the folding assembly 200, allowing the two sides of the folding assembly 200 to be adjusted synchronously to ensure structural balance.

[0041] The folding assembly 200 includes a folding arm 210. One end of the folding arm 210 near the support rod 120 is fixedly connected to a rotating seat B220 that is adapted to the rotating seat A121. The rotating seat B220 and the rotating seat A121 are hinged together by a hinge shaft. A rotating seat C230 is fixedly connected to one side of the folding arm 210. A bracket 240 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the folding arm 210. A pin A430 is provided on the bracket 240. A support plate B510 is fixedly connected to one side of the folding arm 210. The rotating seat C230 provides a vertical rotation fulcrum for the load-bearing assembly 300, and the bracket 240 provides a support base for the pin A430.

[0042] The support assembly 300 includes a support plate 310. The bottom of the support plate 310 is fixedly connected to a rotating seat D320 that is adapted to the rotating seat C230. The rotating seat D320 and the rotating seat C230 are hinged together by a hinge shaft. The pin B530 is provided on the support plate 310. The hinge structure between the rotating seat D320 and the rotating seat C230 realizes the pitch adjustment of the lamp mounting surface. The bottom mounting method of the pin B530 allows the locking force to be directly applied to the center of gravity of the support plate 310 to prevent the lamp from shaking.

[0043] The pin A430 and pin B530 have the same structure, both including a U-shaped frame 31, a pin 32, a protruding post 33, and a stop post 34. The pin 32 moves through the U-shaped frame 31. There are two protruding posts 33 symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper part of the pin 32 surface and inside the cavity of the U-shaped frame 31. There are two stop posts 34 symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 31, and the stop posts 34 are located below the protruding posts 33. The protruding posts 33 and the stop posts 34 cooperate to limit the axial movement range of the pin 32. The symmetrical structure of the protruding posts 33 ensures uniform force distribution, avoids the pin 32 from tilting and jamming, and improves the smoothness of operation.

[0044] One side of the bracket 240 and the bottom of the bearing plate 310 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding U-shaped bracket 31. The protrusion 33 of the pin A430 can penetrate the inner cavity of the insertion hole A420, and the protrusion 33 of the pin B530 can penetrate the inner cavity of the insertion hole B520. The rigid connection method makes the pin and the main structure form an integral whole. After the protrusion 33 penetrates the insertion hole A420 or the insertion hole B520, it forms a mechanical locking position. Compared with the bolt locking structure, the disassembly and assembly efficiency is improved, and locking failure caused by thread wear is avoided.

[0045] Two sockets A420 are on the movement trajectory of the protrusion 33 of the pin A430, and two sockets B520 are on the movement trajectory of the protrusion 33 of the pin B530. By setting the socket positions at a preset interval of 45°, standardized angle adjustment is achieved. Users can lock the sockets without precise alignment, reducing the difficulty of operation and ensuring the consistency of the adjustment angle.

[0046] The folding arm 210 has a through hole 211 that matches the end of the protrusion 33. A rubber gasket is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the through hole 211. The end of the protrusion 33 of the pin A430 can be inserted into the through hole 211 and contact the inner wall of the rubber gasket. The elastic friction of the rubber gasket enhances the locking stability and prevents the pin 430 from loosening on its own in a vibrating environment such as during transportation.

[0047] The folding and storage process of this utility model embodiment is as follows: When transportation is required, first pull the pin 32 of the insert A430. The pin 32 drives the protrusion 33 to move synchronously, so that the end of the pin 32 disengages from the insert hole A420 and the through hole 211. At this time, the protrusion 33 overlaps on the stop post 34. At this time, the folding assembly 200 can be folded horizontally around the hinge axis of the rotating seat A121 and the rotating seat B220. The folding assembly 200 drives the lamp on the bearing assembly 300 to move closer to the support assembly 100, realizing horizontal storage. At the same time, pull the pin 32 of the insert B530 to fold the bearing assembly 300 vertically around the hinge axis of the rotating seat C230 and the rotating seat D320, so that the lamp on the bearing assembly 300 is close to the bottom of the folding arm 210, forming a compact three-dimensional storage structure.

[0048] The angle adjustment process in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0049] When adjusting the horizontal angle, pull out the pin A430 and rotate the folding arm 210 to the target angle, such as 45° to the left and 90° to the right, so that the end of the pin 32 is aligned with the insertion hole A420 at different positions on the support plate A410 and inserted into the through hole 211. The rubber ring pad provides anti-slip damping to ensure angle stability.

[0050] When adjusting the vertical angle, pull out the pin B530, rotate the bearing plate 310 to adjust the lamp's tilt angle, and the pin 32 passes through the socket B520 to lock it in place.

[0051] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a folding light frame for a solar-powered lighthouse. Through the double-layer folding design of the folding component 200 and the supporting component 300, the light frame can be folded from an unfolded state into a compact form, reducing the space occupied during transportation, adapting to small transport vehicles, and reducing logistics costs. The plug-in locking operation requires no tools, and a single person can quickly complete the unfolding / folding operation. Each component adopts a bolted or hinged structure, which can be quickly disassembled and replaced when a component is damaged, reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, it allows the light fixture to be adjusted within a multi-angle range in both the horizontal and vertical directions, which can meet the needs of different scenarios such as ground lighting and high-altitude projection.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. The above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only for illustrating the principles of the present invention.
