Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electric lighting equipment technology, and in particular to warning lights. Background Technology

[0002] The stability and security of power supply are paramount, and the safety of power facilities, as key carriers of power transmission and distribution, is of great significance. With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous growth of electricity demand, the scale of power systems is constantly expanding, and various power facilities are widely distributed throughout cities and rural areas. However, this has also brought many safety hazards, with an increasing risk of power facilities being subjected to mechanical impacts or dangerous proximity or contact by personnel.

[0003] Warning lights, as crucial safety devices for power facilities, play an indispensable role in preventing such accidents. They emit conspicuous light signals to remind passing personnel and vehicles to maintain a safe distance and avoid danger.

[0035] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0037] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0038] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0040] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0041] See Figure 1 At least one embodiment of this application proposes a warning light, which includes an online editing module, a communication module, an LED display module, a control module, and a temperature and humidity sensing module. The online editing module is used to edit warning information; the communication module is connected to the online editing module to acquire the edited warning information and convert it into a corresponding control signal; the LED display module is connected to the communication module to receive the control signal and display the corresponding warning information; the control module is connected to both the LED display module and the communication module to adjust the warning light's operating mode; the temperature and humidity sensing module is connected to the control module to monitor ambient temperature and humidity in real time, and the control module adjusts the warning light's operating mode based on the ambient temperature and humidity data; the control module reduces the display brightness of the LED display module when the temperature exceeds a preset temperature and the humidity is below a preset humidity.

[0042] According to the embodiments of this application, the warning light allows for online editing of warning information via an online editing module. This enables the LED display module to broadcast different warning messages online, achieving diversified display and online editing of warning information. Warning information can be updated without replacing hardware, improving the effectiveness of the warning, increasing the flexibility of the warning light's use, enhancing the warning effect, and improving the safety protection level of power facilities. When the temperature exceeds a preset temperature and the humidity is below a preset humidity, the display brightness of the LED display module is reduced, which can promptly and in real-time prevent the warning light from overheating and being damaged.

[0043] In some embodiments, the online editing module includes external devices such as mobile phones or computers.

[0044] In some embodiments, the communication module includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G, or RS485 communication modules, etc.

[0045] It is understood that online editing in this application embodiment refers to the ability of the user to modify and update the warning information displayed by the warning light in real time, without physically disassembling the device or using a specific local storage medium, while the device is in normal working order and connected to a network or other communication link. The term "online" emphasizes the real-time and remote nature of the editing operation, specifically reflected in the following aspects:

[0046] Real-time: "Online" means that editing takes effect immediately. After a user edits the warning message via the online editing module, the information is quickly transmitted to the warning light's LED display module via the communication module. For example, in the event of a sudden emergency at a power facility, staff on-site or in a remote office can modify the warning message to "Emergency Fault, Do Not Approach" via a mobile app. The warning light's LED display module can update the displayed content within seconds, promptly conveying the latest information to those nearby, eliminating the need for creating new warning signs and then replacing them on-site, as is the traditional method.

[0047] Remote Operation: As long as the LED display module of the warning light is connected to the external device of the online editing module via a communication network, editing operations can be performed regardless of the physical distance between the user and the warning light. For example, in a large power park, staff at the park management center can remotely adjust the warning information of warning lights distributed throughout the park via a network connection. This significantly improves management efficiency for widely distributed power facilities, reduces manpower and time costs, and avoids the hassle of staff having to go to each site to change warning information.

[0048] The installation process of traditional warning lights is usually quite complicated, requiring professional personnel to operate. This not only consumes a lot of time and manpower but also reduces work efficiency. Moreover, during subsequent maintenance, if it is necessary to change the warning information or adjust the working mode, it often needs to be disassembled again, further increasing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0049] For solutions to the above problems, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the warning light includes a light box 100 and a mounting module. The light box 100 is used to mount the LED display module. The mounting module is disposed on the light box 100 and includes one or more combinations of a magnetic structure and a snap-fit ​​structure for mounting the light box 100 onto external power facilities. Specifically, the magnetic structure can use a strong magnetic material to ensure a firm adhesion to the surface of the power facility. The snap-fit ​​structure can be designed with adjustable sizes to accommodate power facilities of different sizes. This design simplifies the installation process, reduces installation difficulty, improves installation efficiency, and reduces labor costs.

[0050] It is understood that, in some embodiments, for electrical facilities with smooth surfaces, a mounting module combining magnetic and snap-fit ​​structures can be used to install the warning lights. The magnetic structure is used for initial positioning, while the snap-fit ​​structure is used for further fixation, improving installation stability.

[0051] In some embodiments, the warning light also includes a speaker integrated within the light housing 100. The speaker is communicatively connected to the LED display module via a communication module and emits an alarm sound based on the warning information. This configuration creates an integrated sound and light structure, which enhances the warning effect and allows the warning light to better adapt to complex environments.

[0052] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the LED display module is configured as an LED dot matrix display module, which includes a plurality of LEDs 200 arranged in a dot matrix. The LED dot matrix display module enables the warning lights to display various text, patterns, and other warning information, making the warning information display richer and more diverse, meeting the warning needs of different scenarios. Specifically, in scenarios requiring high display accuracy, the dot matrix density of the LEDs 200 can be increased to improve display clarity. In cost-sensitive scenarios where display accuracy requirements are not high, the number of LEDs 200 can be appropriately reduced to lower costs.

[0053] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the warning light also includes a button control module, which is communicatively connected to the LED display module. The button control module includes a button 300, which controls the on / off combinations of the LED light 200. The button 300 allows users to easily edit and set warning information.

[0054] In some embodiments, the button 300 includes a down button, an up button, a confirm button, a flashing button, a power display button, a cancel button, a right button, and a left button. Operating the different buttons 300 allows for setting the selection state of the LED light 200, adjusting the flashing frequency, and confirming and saving parameters. Users can easily adjust parameters such as the warning information display content and flashing frequency.

[0055] Traditional warning lights lack intelligent adjustment capabilities in their operating modes, failing to automatically adjust according to weather conditions and ambient brightness. In strong light environments, such as direct sunlight during the day or areas under strong light at night, the brightness of the warning lights is relatively insufficient, making it difficult to attract people's attention and increasing the risk of accidents. In low light environments or in adverse weather conditions, such as night, heavy fog, or heavy rain, the warning lights cannot automatically increase brightness or adjust flashing frequency, wasting energy and potentially failing to function effectively due to insufficient visibility.

[0056] Based on the above considerations, in some embodiments, the warning light also includes a control module, which is communicatively connected to the LED dot matrix display module, the button control module, and the communication module, respectively, and is used to receive and process data from each module, and automatically adjust the working mode of the warning light according to a preset algorithm.

[0057] See Figure 1In some embodiments, the warning light also includes an ambient light sensor 400, which is communicatively connected to the control module for real-time monitoring of ambient light intensity. The control module adjusts the display brightness of the warning light based on the ambient light intensity data. Specifically, the control module has a built-in preset algorithm configured as a brightness adaptive algorithm, which automatically adjusts the display brightness of the LED dot matrix display module according to the ambient light intensity. This ensures that the LED dot matrix display module maintains good visibility under different lighting conditions while also considering energy-saving requirements. Through the above settings, using the ambient light sensor 400 and the control module, combined with the preset algorithm, automatic setting of the working mode and adaptive brightness adjustment are achieved, enabling the warning light to maintain the best warning effect in different environments. This reduces energy consumption, extends equipment lifespan, and achieves green energy saving and a high level of automation.

[0058] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the temperature and humidity sensing module is configured as a temperature and humidity sensor 500, which is used to monitor the ambient temperature and humidity in real time. The control module adjusts the warning light's operating mode based on the ambient temperature and humidity data. This allows the warning light to adjust its operating mode according to humidity changes, better adapting to complex climatic conditions and improving the warning light's effectiveness under different climatic conditions.

[0059] By combining ambient light sensors and temperature and humidity sensors 500, the warning light can integrate various environmental data to more accurately determine climate conditions and achieve a more intelligent adjustment of its working mode.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the temperature and humidity sensor 500 detects a temperature that exceeds a preset temperature and a humidity that is lower than a preset humidity in real time, if the temperature exceeds the preset temperature, it is judged as high temperature, and if the humidity is lower than the preset humidity, it is judged as dry. In a high temperature and dry environment, the brightness of the warning light is appropriately reduced to avoid overheating damage.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the temperature and humidity sensing module detects that the humidity exceeds a preset level, the control module controls the warning light to switch to a faster flashing frequency mode. Different flashing frequency levels can be set according to the degree of humidity exceeding the limit; the higher the humidity, the faster the flashing frequency, achieving a more refined warning effect adjustment. For example, for mild exceedances, the flashing frequency is increased by 20%; for severe exceedances, the flashing frequency is increased by 50%. This enhances the warning effect in inclement weather conditions with high humidity, such as rainy or foggy days.

[0062] It is understandable that, in scenarios where the display accuracy requirements of the LED dot matrix display module are not high, the technical solutions in the above embodiments can be replaced by simple LED light strip combinations to reduce costs. In terms of sensors, if cost control is more stringent, in specific environments where the light intensity does not change much, only the ambient light sensor 400 can be used, omitting other climate sensors, but this will weaken the adaptability of the warning light to complex climate conditions.

[0063] The warning light provided in this application embodiment can realize online editing of warning information and automatic setting of working mode. It is also easy to install and simple to maintain, which is of great significance for improving the safety protection level of power facilities and ensuring the stable operation of power system.

[0064] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0065] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
