Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a floating lamp with an anti-tipping base, belonging to the field of lighting fixtures. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as landscape lighting, water rescue signage, and aquaculture lighting, floating lights are increasingly in demand due to their ability to be flexibly deployed with the water surface without the need for fixed installation foundations. These lights need to operate in aquatic environments for extended periods, not only fulfilling basic lighting functions but also coping with complex conditions such as water movement, wave impact, and moisture corrosion. Simultaneously, they must ensure power supply stability, ease of installation and maintenance, and structural safety. However, current floating lights on the market still suffer from several technical limitations, making it difficult to fully meet actual application needs.

[0003] Traditional floating lights typically employ a simple circular or square float structure, usually containing a battery box and a control component box. Due to the uneven weight distribution between the battery box and the control component box, the float's center of gravity becomes skewed, making it prone to tilting or even overturning under the influence of wind and waves. Although some products add counterweight components, the counterweight placement is often simplistic (e.g., only placing a counterweight at the bottom edge of the float), failing to create a stable balance system. When encountering water flow or external impacts, excessive tilting of the float not only causes the lighting direction to shift but may also damage internal electrical components due to water ingress, severely impacting the lifespan and safety of the light fixture. Therefore, designing a floating light fixture with an anti-tipping base is essential. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a floating lamp with an anti-tipping base to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a floating lamp with an anti-tipping base, comprising:

[0006] An anti-overturning float includes a float plate and a central cone located at the bottom center of the float plate. An installation groove is provided at the center of the interior of the float plate, and the bottom of the installation groove is connected to the interior of the central cone. Four slots are provided at equal angles on the top of the float plate around the installation groove.

[0007] The counterweight is located inside the central cone.

[0008] An anchor chain is hooked to the bottom of the central cone, and a sinker is attached to the bottom of the anchor chain;

[0009] There are four plug-in boxes, and the plug-in boxes are plugged into the slots. Three of the plug-in boxes are equipped with batteries, and the remaining plug-in box is equipped with a wireless transceiver module, a power management module and a control module.

[0010] The lighting components are mounted on top of the floating platform;

[0011] A lampshade is installed on the outside of the lamp assembly. A ring-shaped solar panel is installed on the top of the floating plate on the outside of the lampshade, and the output end of the solar panel is electrically connected to the battery through a photovoltaic controller.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the floating plate is provided with a concentric double thread structure around the mounting groove, wherein a second threaded ring is protruding from the top edge of the mounting groove, and a first threaded ring is provided on the outer periphery of the second threaded ring. The bottom end of the inner sidewall of the lamp cover is provided with an internal thread that matches the first threaded ring, and the lamp cover is sealed and fixed to the floating plate by thread engagement. A sealing rubber ring is adhered to the floating plate below the lamp cover.

[0013] Furthermore, an installation ring is passed through the bottom of the central cone, and a hanging ring is fixed to the top of the sinker. Both ends of the anchor chain are connected to connecting rings, and detachable hooks are movably hooked on the connecting rings. The two ends of the anchor chain are connected to the hanging rings and the installation rings respectively through the hooks.

[0014] Furthermore, the lighting assembly includes a lamp post, a lamp holder, a reflector, and a threaded sleeve. The outer diameter of the lamp holder is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting groove, and a reflector is connected to the top of the lamp holder. A lamp post is mounted on the top of the reflector, and multiple independent LED beads are arranged around the lamp post. The outer diameter of the reflector matches the inner diameter of the first threaded ring, and a threaded sleeve is integrally connected to the bottom of the reflector on the outer periphery of the lamp holder. The threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the second threaded ring.

[0015] Furthermore, the shape of the plug box matches the inner cavity shape of the slot, and a counterweight is provided at the bottom of each of the four plug boxes so that the overall weight of the four plug boxes is the same.

[0016] Furthermore, the plug-in box includes a box body, a lifting ring, and a drawer. One end of the box body is connected to the drawer by a pull-out mechanism, and a lifting ring is installed at the center of the top of the box body. The battery, wireless transceiver module, power management module, and control module are all located inside the drawer, and a spring connector is provided at the center of the drawer's pull-out end. Corresponding conductive contacts are provided inside the slot. When the plug-in box is inserted into the slot, the spring connector makes elastic contact with the contacts, thereby achieving automatic circuit conduction.

[0017] Furthermore, slots are provided at the center of both sides of the box, and a locking block is hinged in the slot. A return spring is connected between the locking block and the inside of the slot. The two sides of the slot are provided with slots that match the locking block, and the top of the locking block is a downward-sloping arc design.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. The combined design of "anti-tipping float + multiple counterweights" constructs a stable center of gravity balance system. On the one hand, the anti-tipping float includes a float plate and a central cone at the bottom center. A counterweight is installed in the central cone to lower the overall center of gravity of the lamp and reduce the tendency to tilt under the impact of wind and waves. On the other hand, four plug-in boxes are set at equal angles on the top of the float plate, and each plug-in box is equipped with a counterweight at the bottom to ensure that the weight of the four plug-in boxes is consistent, so that the float plate is evenly stressed and further avoids the float from tilting due to one-sided weight imbalance. Compared with the traditional structure with only a single counterweight at the edge, the anti-tipping design of this application can effectively cope with complex working conditions such as water flow impact and wind and wave swaying, reduce the risk of lamp overturning, and ensure the stability of the lighting direction and the safety of internal components.

[0020] 2. The float plate has concentric first and second threaded rings around the mounting groove. The bottom of the inner wall of the lamp cover is fixed by screwing with the first threaded ring, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and easy for inspection and maintenance. The floating plate is also bonded with a sealing ring to improve waterproof performance. The anchoring structure adopts the "anchor chain + detachable hook" design. The two ends of the anchor chain are connected by connecting rings and hooks to hook the mounting ring of the central cone and the hanging ring of the sinker, respectively. Compared with the traditional single rope anchoring, it is more stable and can effectively prevent the lamp from drifting under the action of strong water flow and waves, ensuring that the lamp stays in the designated lighting position. The plug box and the floating plate slot adopt the "elastic block + lifting ring" plug-in structure. The top of the plug box is equipped with a lifting ring. When inserted into the slot, the block automatically engages into the slot to fix it. When pulled out, only the lifting ring needs to be pulled. No additional tools are required, making the operation convenient.

[0021] 3. The drawer pull-out end of the plug box is equipped with a spring connector, and the corresponding position inside the slot is equipped with a matching conductive contact. The spring connector's "dual independent contact + elastic tight contact" design uses continuous elastic pressure to offset the slight shaking of the lamp on the water surface, prevent poor contact, and ensure that each component can work stably. It is suitable for the high reliability operation requirements of floating lamps in outdoor water environments, ensures stable transmission of control signals, status monitoring signals, etc., avoids signal interruption and data transmission errors caused by traditional connection methods, and meets the functional requirements of remote control and status monitoring of lamps.

[0043] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a floating light fixture with an anti-tipping base, including an anti-tipping float 1, which includes a float plate 101 and a central cone 102 located at the center of the bottom of the float plate 101. An installation groove 1015 is provided at the center of the interior of the float plate 101, and the bottom of the installation groove 1015 is connected to the interior of the central cone 102. Four slots 1013 are provided at equal angles on the top of the float plate 101 around the installation groove 1015. A counterweight 6 is disposed inside the central cone 102. An anchor chain 3 is hooked to the bottom of the central cone 102, and a sinker 13 is connected to the bottom of the anchor chain 3. Four plug-in boxes 5 are provided, and the plug-in boxes 5 are plugged into the slots 1013. Three of the plug-in boxes 5 contain batteries 7, and the remaining plug-in box 5 contains a wireless transceiver module 8. The electrical management module 9 and control module 10 are included. The lighting assembly 4 is located on the top of the floating plate 101, and the lamp cover 2 is located on the outside of the lighting assembly 4. A ring-shaped solar panel 12 is installed on the top of the floating plate 101 outside the lamp cover 2. The output end of the solar panel 12 is electrically connected to the battery 7 through a photovoltaic controller. The counterweight 6 is built into the central cone 102 of the anti-tipping float 1. Combined with the four plug-in boxes 5 distributed at equal angles on the top of the floating plate 101, the overall center of gravity of the lighting fixture can be lowered and the force balance can be achieved, which greatly improves the anti-tipping performance. The solar panel 12 and the battery 7 form an independent power supply system, which does not require an external power cord, thus eliminating the limitation of the layout range. Moreover, the clean energy power supply reduces the later cost. The plug-in structure of the plug-in box 5 and the slot 1013 realizes the modular layout of the power supply and control components, which is convenient for later maintenance and replacement.

[0045] Please see Figure 2The top of the float plate 101 is provided with a concentric double thread structure around the mounting groove 1015. The top edge of the mounting groove 1015 is provided with a second threaded ring 1012, and the outer periphery of the second threaded ring 1012 is provided with a first threaded ring 1011. The bottom end of the inner sidewall of the lamp cover 2 is provided with an internal thread that matches the first threaded ring 1011. The lamp cover 2 is sealed and fixed to the float plate 101 by thread engagement. A sealing ring is bonded to the float plate 101 below the lamp cover 2. The first threaded ring 1011 of the float plate 101 engages with the internal thread of the lamp cover 2. Compared with traditional snap-fit ​​connections, this is more stable. Compared with bolt connections, it can be disassembled and assembled without tools, improving the ease of operation. The sealing ring, together with the threaded sealing structure, can effectively prevent water and moisture from entering the interior of the lamp cover 2, protect the lamp assembly 4 from corrosion, and extend its service life. The concentric double thread structure provides an independent installation reference for the lamp cover 2 and the lamp assembly 4, ensuring assembly accuracy.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom of the central cone 102 is perforated by an installation ring 1021, and the top of the sinker 13 is fixed with a hanging ring 1301. Both ends of the anchor chain 3 are connected to connecting rings 301, and the connecting rings 301 are movably hooked with detachable hooks 302. The two ends of the anchor chain 3 are connected to the hanging rings 1301 and the installation ring 1021 respectively through the hooks 302. The anchor chain 3 is connected to the installation rings 1021 of the central cone 102 and the hanging rings 1301 of the sinker 13 through the hooks 302. It is easy to assemble and disassemble, and it is convenient to adjust the length of the anchor chain 3 or retrieve the lamp according to the water depth. The movable connection structure between the hooks 302 and the connecting rings 301 can adapt to the tension generated by the water swaying and avoid the anchoring structure from breaking. At the same time, the sinker 13 works with the anchor chain 3 to ensure that the lamp is stably fixed in the designated position and prevents drift.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 The lighting assembly 4 includes a lamp post 401, a lamp holder 402, a reflector 403, and a threaded sleeve 404. The outer diameter of the lamp holder 402 is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting groove 1015, and the reflector 403 is connected to the top of the lamp holder 402. The lamp post 401 is mounted on the top of the reflector 403, and multiple independent LEDs are arranged around the lamp post 401. The outer diameter of the reflector 403 matches the inner diameter of the first threaded ring 1011, and the threaded sleeve 404 is integrally connected to the bottom of the reflector 403 on the outer periphery of the lamp holder 402. 4 is threadedly connected to the second threaded ring 1012. The design of multiple independent lamp beads in the lamp post 401 can eliminate the need for overall replacement when there is partial damage, reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, the surrounding layout improves the lighting range and uniformity. The reflector 403 can focus and reflect the light from the lamp beads, enhance the lighting brightness, and improve energy utilization efficiency. The threaded sleeve 404 is threadedly connected to the second threaded ring 1012. With the matching positioning of the reflector 403 and the first threaded ring 1011, it ensures that the lamp assembly 4 is installed firmly and has high coaxiality, avoiding deviation of the lighting direction.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The shape of the plug box 5 matches the inner cavity shape of the slot 1013. Each of the four plug boxes 5 has a counterweight 11 at the bottom, so that the overall weight of the four plug boxes 5 is the same. The shape matching design of the plug box 5 and the slot 1013 ensures accurate plug-in positioning and avoids loosening that could lead to poor circuit contact. The four plug boxes 5 achieve the same weight through the counterweight 11. Combined with the equal-angle distribution of the top of the floating plate 101, the center of gravity balance of the lamp is further optimized, and the anti-tipping effect is improved.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The plug-in box 5 includes a box body 501, a lifting ring 503, and a drawer 504. One end of the box body 501 is connected to the drawer 504 via a pull-out mechanism, and the lifting ring 503 is installed at the center of the top of the box body 501. The battery 7, wireless transceiver module 8, power management module 9, and control module 10 are all housed within the drawer 504. A spring connector 505 is located at the center of the pull-out end of the drawer 504. Corresponding conductive contacts are located inside the slot 1013. When the plug-in box 5 is inserted into the slot 1013, the spring connector 505 makes elastic contact with the contacts, achieving automatic circuit connection. The spring connector 505 integrates dual contacts and has an anti-corrosion gold plating layer on its surface. Internally, it is clearly divided into two independent sets of contacts: "power transmission contacts" and "signal transmission contacts." The power from the battery 7 is supplied through... After voltage regulation and current limiting, the power management module 9 transmits power to the lighting assembly 4 via the connection of the spring connector 505 and the conductive contact to supply power to the lamp post 401. On the other hand, the wireless transceiver module 8 can receive external remote control signals such as light-on / off commands and brightness adjustment commands, and transmit the signals to the control module 10. After the control module 10 analyzes the signals, it sends control signals to the lighting assembly 4 via the spring connector 505 to realize remote control of the lighting fixture. At the same time, the control module 10 can collect the power information of the battery 7 and the working status information of the lighting assembly 4 in real time, and feed them back to the external monitoring terminal via the wireless transceiver module 8, so that users can keep track of the lighting fixture's operation in real time. The pull-out structure of the drawer 504 facilitates quick access to internal components, and the lifting ring 503 improves the overall ease of disassembly and assembly of the plug-in box 5 and reduces the difficulty of maintenance operations.

[0050] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6The box 501 has slots 5011 at the center of both sides, and a locking block 502 is hinged in the slot 5011. A return spring 506 is connected between the locking block 502 and the inside of the slot 5011. The slot 1013 has slots 1014 on both sides that are adapted to the locking block 502. The top of the locking block 502 is a downward-sloping arc design. Under the action of the return spring 506, the locking block 502 engages with the slot 1014 of the slot 1013, which can prevent the plug box 5 from falling off due to water shaking and improve the connection stability. ② The downward-sloping arc design of the locking block 502 means that no additional operation is required when pulling out the plug box 5. Only axial pulling force is needed to force the locking block 502 to compress the return spring 506 and retract into the slot 5011, realizing quick disassembly and taking into account both stability and convenience.
