Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navigation light technology, specifically a defogging structure for navigation lights. Background Technology

[0002] Navigational lights are nighttime navigation aids installed on navigational buoys. They guide ships through waterways, mark danger zones, or indicate port locations using specific light signals, serving as a crucial guarantee for maritime safety. Their core function is to transmit navigational information using light characteristics (such as color, flashing period, and range). Common light sources are energy-efficient and durable LEDs, although some traditional models still use incandescent bulbs. These lights must withstand harsh environments, possessing waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and high / low temperature resistance properties. Many utilize solar power combined with batteries to ensure continuous operation.

[0003] The transmission-type navigation lights do not have a defogging structure. When navigating in heavy fog or at night, fog or water droplets often condense on the outer shell of the navigation lights due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside, which seriously affects the light penetration.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a defogging structure for navigation lights. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a defogging structure for navigation lights to solve the problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a defogging structure for a navigation light, comprising a column and a side plate assembly, and a top seat located at the top of the side plate assembly. A solar panel is disposed on the outer side of the side plate assembly. An embedded groove and a notch are provided at the top of the top seat. A navigation light housing is disposed on the top seat. A light-emitting unit is disposed inside the navigation light housing. A defogging assembly is disposed on the outer side of the navigation light housing. A driving unit is disposed between the defogging assembly and the top seat. A guide groove and an alignment groove are provided at the top of the navigation light housing.

[0007] Preferably, the side panel assembly includes a stainless steel side panel, an alignment groove is provided on the outer side of the stainless steel side panel, an installation plate is inserted and installed at the end of the stainless steel side panel away from the top seat, a locking bolt is provided at the connection between the installation plate and the stainless steel side panel, the solar panel is embedded in the alignment groove, two identical side panel assemblies are provided, and the two side panel assemblies together form a "︹" shaped structure.

[0008] The above technical solution enables the embedded and stable installation of solar panels. The stainless steel side panels improve the corrosion resistance and service life of the structure. At the same time, the two side panel components that form a "︹" shape enhance the overall structural stability and also have a certain rainproof and water diversion effect.

[0009] Preferably, the drive unit includes a driven ring, which is rotatably embedded in the interior groove. The inner diameter surface of the driven ring has an internal tooth groove. A micro motor is fixedly installed at the top of the top seat. A rotating rod is driven on the output shaft of the micro motor. A drive gear is provided on the outer side of the rotating rod. An inner groove is provided on the side of the driven ring facing the top seat. A ball bearing is provided inside the inner groove. The defogging assembly includes two identical connecting columns, with a defogging bracket between the two connecting columns. A side lug is provided on the outer side of the defogging bracket, and a rubber scraper is provided on the inner side of the defogging bracket. A pin is provided between the rubber scraper and the side lug. An alignment post and a guide strip are provided at the connection between the defogging bracket and the beacon light housing.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the drive unit can drive the active gear to rotate via a micro motor, drive the driven ring to rotate via the internal gear groove, and then drive the defogging component to move synchronously via the connecting column. The rubber scraper on the defogging bracket can perform defogging operation on the beacon light housing. The side ear seat and the plug pin facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the rubber scraper. The alignment column and guide strip ensure the stability of the defogging component during movement.

[0011] Preferably, the driving gear is located inside the notch groove, the driving gear and the driven ring are connected by meshing through the internal tooth groove, the ball is located between the inner groove and the inner recess, and a plurality of identical balls are provided, and the plurality of balls are arranged in a ring in the inner recess.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the meshing of the driving gear and the internal tooth groove can ensure the smooth rotation of the driven ring. The multiple ring-shaped balls can effectively reduce the frictional resistance between the driven ring and the inner groove, making the rotation process smoother, while reducing component wear and extending service life.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting post and the driven ring are fixedly connected, and the two connecting posts are symmetrically distributed about the axis of the driven ring, and the demisting bracket and the connecting post are detachably connected.

[0014] The above technical solution facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the defogging components by allowing for a detachable connection between the defogging bracket and the connecting column.

[0015] Preferably, there are two identical rubber scrapers, which are symmetrically distributed on the inner side of the defogging bracket. The rubber scrapers are in contact with the housing of the navigation light, and the cross-section of the rubber scrapers is an inverted "L" shape.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the two symmetrically distributed rubber scrapers can fully adhere to the surface of the navigation light housing, effectively removing water mist and stains from the housing surface, ensuring the light penetration of the light-emitting unit, and ensuring the warning effect of the navigation light.

[0017] Preferably, the lower part of the alignment post extends into the interior of the second alignment groove, the alignment post and the second alignment groove are rotatably connected, the cross section of the guide strip is an "arc" shaped structure, the guide strip and the guide groove are rotatably connected, and two identical guide strips are provided, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the alignment post.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the rotational cooperation between the alignment column and the second alignment groove, and the rotational cooperation between the guide bar and the guide groove, a double guide and limiting structure is formed, which effectively restricts the movement trajectory of the defogging component, prevents it from deviating or shaking during rotation, and enables stable defogging operation.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a defogging structure for navigation lights, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The defogging structure for navigation lights, through the design of the drive unit and defogging components, uses a micro motor to drive the driven ring to rotate through gear meshing, and ball bearings to reduce friction and ensure smooth transmission. Symmetrically distributed rubber scrapers with an inverted "L" shape fully fit the navigation light shell, which can quickly remove water mist and stains. The double guide limit structure further avoids deviation and shaking during the defogging process, effectively ensuring the light penetration of the light-emitting unit.

[0020] 2. The defogging structure for navigation lights allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the connecting column and the defogging bracket. The rubber scraper can also be quickly assembled and disassembled with the defogging bracket via the plug pin and side lug, facilitating overall component maintenance and reducing subsequent maintenance costs.

[0026] Example 2: like Figure 2-8 As shown, as an improvement to the previous embodiment, in order to achieve efficient defogging on the outer side of the beacon light housing 6.

[0027] Specifically, the drive unit 9 includes a driven ring 901, which is rotatably embedded inside the inner groove 8. The inner diameter surface of the driven ring 901 has an internal toothed groove 902. A micro motor 903 is fixedly mounted at the top of the top seat 4. A rotating rod 904 is driven onto the output shaft of the micro motor 903. A drive gear 905 is provided on the outer side of the rotating rod 904. An inner groove 906 is provided on the side of the driven ring 901 facing the top seat 4. The inner groove 906 contains... There is a ball bearing 907; the defogging assembly 7 includes a connecting post 701, two identical connecting posts 701 are provided, a defogging bracket 702 is provided between the two connecting posts 701, a side ear seat 706 is provided on the outer side of the defogging bracket 702, a rubber scraper 703 is provided on the inner side of the defogging bracket 702, a plug pin 707 is provided between the rubber scraper 703 and the side ear seat 706, and an alignment post 704 and a guide strip 705 are provided at the connection between the defogging bracket 702 and the beacon light housing 6. The advantages are that the drive unit 9 can drive the active gear 905 to rotate through the micro motor 903, drive the driven ring 901 to rotate through the internal gear groove 902, and then drive the defogging assembly 7 to move synchronously through the connecting column 701. The rubber scraper 703 on the defogging bracket 702 can perform defogging operation on the beacon light housing 6. The side ear seat 706 and the plug pin 707 facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the rubber scraper 703. The alignment column 704 and the guide strip 705 ensure the stability of the defogging assembly 7 during movement.

[0028] Specifically, the driving gear 905 is located inside the notch 10, and is meshed with the driven ring 901 through the internal gear groove 902. Multiple balls 907 are located between the inner groove 8 and the inner recess 906, arranged in a ring within the inner recess 906. The advantages are that the meshing of the driving gear 905 with the internal gear groove 902 ensures smooth rotation of the driven ring 901, and the multiple ring-arranged balls 907 effectively reduce the frictional resistance between the driven ring 901 and the inner groove 8, making the rotation process smoother, reducing component wear, and extending service life.

[0029] Specifically, the connecting post 701 and the driven ring 901 are fixedly connected, and the two connecting posts 701 are symmetrically distributed about the axis of the driven ring 901. The demister bracket 702 and the connecting post 701 are detachably connected. The advantage is that the detachable connection between the demister bracket 702 and the connecting post 701 facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the demister assembly 7.

[0030] Specifically, two identical rubber scrapers 703 are provided, symmetrically distributed on the inner side of the defogger bracket 702. The rubber scrapers 703 are in contact with the beacon light housing 6, and their cross-section is an inverted "L" shape. The advantage is that the two symmetrically distributed rubber scrapers 703 can fully conform to the surface of the beacon light housing 6, effectively removing water mist and stains, ensuring the light penetration of the light-emitting unit 5, and guaranteeing the warning effect of the beacon light.

[0031] Specifically, the lower part of the alignment post 704 extends into the interior of the second alignment groove 12, and the alignment post 704 is rotatably connected to the second alignment groove 12. The guide strip 705 has an arc-shaped cross-section and is rotatably connected to the guide groove 11. Two identical guide strips 705 are provided and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the alignment post 704. The advantage is that the rotational engagement of the alignment post 704 and the second alignment groove 12, and the rotational engagement of the guide strip 705 and the guide groove 11, form a double guide and limiting structure, which effectively restricts the movement trajectory of the defogging assembly 7, prevents it from shifting or shaking during rotation, and enables stable defogging operation.

[0032] Working principle: When water mist or stains are generated on the surface of the beacon light housing 6, the drive unit 9 is activated. The micro motor 903 drives the rotating rod 904 to rotate the drive gear 905 in the notch groove 10. Through meshing with the inner tooth groove 902 of the inner diameter surface of the driven ring 901, the driven ring 901 is driven to rotate in the inner groove 8. The multiple annular balls 907 in the inner groove 906 reduce frictional resistance to ensure smooth rotation. When the driven ring 901 rotates, it drives the defogging assembly 7 to move synchronously through the symmetrically distributed connecting columns 701. The two inverted "L"-shaped rubber scrapers 703 on the inner side of the defogging bracket 702 rotate with it. The surface of the beacon light housing 6 is scraped to remove water mist and stains. At the same time, the alignment post 704 at the bottom of the defogger bracket 702 rotates in the alignment groove 12, and the arc-shaped guide strips 705 on both sides rotate synchronously in the guide groove 11 to form a double guide limit, preventing the defogger component 7 from shifting or shaking. The rubber scraper 703 can be quickly disassembled and replaced through the side ear seat 706 and the plug pin 707. The defogger bracket 702 can also be removed from the connecting post 701 for maintenance. Ultimately, the cleanliness of the beacon light housing 6 is continuously ensured, and the light penetration of the internal light-emitting unit 5 is not affected, so that the beacon light always maintains a good warning effect.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
