Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LED combined traffic lights, and in particular to an LED combined traffic light module. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of urban transportation, traffic signal systems, as an important component of traffic management, play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of urban traffic. A modular LED traffic signal module has emerged, featuring a modular design that allows for rapid assembly and splicing to meet the traffic signal needs of various scenarios.

[0003] In existing traffic light systems, traditional LED modules are typically installed in a fixed manner. Their mechanical structure relies mainly on fasteners such as screws and nuts to secure each module to the base. The technical principle is to achieve module splicing through mechanical connections. While this installation method ensures module stability, in practice, the installation process is relatively cumbersome, requiring the tightening of each screw individually, and demanding a certain level of skill from the installers.

[0004] However, the existing technology that relies on fasteners such as screws for assembly has a significant problem: it cannot quickly assemble modules. In actual installation, the need to tighten each screw individually results in low installation efficiency, especially when quick replacement or adjustment of traffic light modules is required. This inefficient installation method not only increases installation time and labor costs but also affects the timely updating and maintenance of the traffic signal system, reducing the overall usability of the traffic light system. Therefore, a combined traffic light LED module is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a combined LED signal light module, which aims to improve the problem that the existing technology cannot quickly assemble modules, resulting in low installation efficiency when installing signal lights.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A combined signal light LED module includes a base, a snap-fit ​​assembly inside the base, a composite layer on the inner wall of the base, a transparent lampshade on the top of the base, a drying assembly on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade, ventilation holes inside the transparent lampshade, an LED light fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a snap-fit ​​assembly on the side wall of the base. The buckle assembly includes a buckle block, the top of which is slidably connected to the inside of another base. A first spring is provided inside the base, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the base, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a buckle ball. The outer wall of the buckle ball is provided on the side wall of the buckle block. The drying component includes a water-absorbing resin block, the sidewall of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transparent lampshade, and the sidewall of which is disposed on the top of the base.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The composite layer includes a hydrophobic coating, an ePTEF membrane, a drying coating, and an inner protective mesh. The hydrophobic coating is disposed on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade, and the ePTEF membrane is disposed on the side wall of the hydrophobic coating.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The ePTEF membrane has a drying coating on its sidewall, an inner protective mesh on its sidewall, the inner protective mesh on its sidewall, and the composite layer on its inner wall.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The buckle assembly includes a button, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inside of the base.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: A fixing column is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base, and a second spring is provided on the outer wall of the fixing column.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the button.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: A limiting plate is fixedly connected inside the base, and the side wall of the limiting plate is located inside the button.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, pressing one of the bases engages the side wall's locking block inside the base. The locking block moves the locking ball, causing the first spring to retract, thus achieving the effect of assembling the signal light LED module. This solves the problem of low installation efficiency during signal light installation due to the inability to quickly assemble the module, and improves the practicality of the combined signal light LED module.

[0014] In this invention, a hydrophobic coating reduces the liquid retention time on the base surface, and the ePTEF membrane, which is breathable but waterproof, absorbs water mist from the sidewalls of the transparent lampshade through a drying coating. The inner protective mesh further enhances the structural strength of the transparent lampshade, thereby reducing water mist in the transparent lampshade. This solves the problem that water mist scatters LED light, causing a decrease in the brightness of the signal light, and improves the safety of the combined signal light LED module.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a combined signal light LED module, including a base 1, a buckle assembly inside the base 1, a composite layer on the inner wall of the base 1, a transparent lampshade 2 on the top of the base 1, a drying assembly on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2, ventilation holes 8 inside the transparent lampshade 2, an LED light 3 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a buckle assembly on the side wall of the base 1. The buckle assembly includes a buckle block 5, which is made of high-strength engineering plastic and has excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, ensuring that the buckle can maintain a stable connection effect after multiple uses. The top of the buckle block 5 is slidably connected to the inside of another base 1. The base 1 is equipped with a first spring 6, which is made of stainless steel and has good elasticity and corrosion resistance. It can maintain stable elasticity during long-term use and ensure a tight fit between the buckle ball 7 and the buckle block 5. One end of the first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 1, and the other end of the first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the buckle ball 7. The outer wall of the buckle ball 7 is set on the side wall of the buckle block 5. Specifically, when using the combined signal light LED module, the base 1 needs to be pressed first. When the base 1 is subjected to external force, the side wall latch 5 will be pushed, making it precisely fit into the interior of another base 1. As the latch 5 is gradually pressed into the interior of the other base 1, the latch 5 will drive the side wall latch ball 7 to move. During the movement of the latch ball 7, it will drive the first spring 6 on the outer wall to contract. At the same time, the first spring 6 will generate a certain elastic force during the contraction process. This elastic force will act on the side wall latch ball 7, making it stably abut against the side wall of the latch 5, thereby ensuring that all components of the combined signal light LED module are tightly connected and achieve a stable combination effect.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The drying component includes a water-absorbing resin block 13, which is made of silica gel desiccant and has high moisture absorption performance. It effectively absorbs moisture inside the transparent lampshade 2, preventing damage to the LED lamp 3 due to a humid environment. The sidewalls of the water-absorbing resin block 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2 and are located on the top of the base 1. The composite layer includes a hydrophobic coating 9, an ePTEF film 10, a drying coating 11, and an inner protective mesh 12. The hydrophobic coating 9 is made of fluorocarbon resin and has excellent hydrophobic properties, preventing moisture condensation on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2. The sidewalls of the hydrophobic coating 9 are located on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2. The sidewall of the water coating 9 is provided with an ePTEF membrane 10. The ePTEF membrane 10 has a microporous structure, which can effectively block moisture and dust while maintaining good air permeability. The sidewall of the ePTEF membrane 10 is provided with a drying coating 11. The drying coating 11 uses nano-level drying materials, which can further absorb residual moisture and ensure the dryness of the internal environment. The sidewall of the drying coating 11 is provided with an inner protective mesh 12. The inner protective mesh 12 is woven from stainless steel wire, which has high strength and corrosion resistance and can protect the composite layer from mechanical damage. The sidewall of the inner protective mesh 12 is provided on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2, and the composite layer is provided on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2. Specifically, when using the combined signal light LED module, the water droplets adhering to the outer wall of the transparent lampshade 2 are first separated by the hydrophobic coating 9. The hydrophobic properties of the hydrophobic coating 9 cause the water droplets to quickly aggregate and slide off the surface, reducing water droplet residue and ensuring the clarity of the transparent lampshade 2. Next, the ePTEF membrane 10 allows gas to pass freely through its microporous structure while effectively preventing the penetration of liquid water, achieving a balance between breathability and waterproofness, ensuring the dryness and stability of the internal environment. The drying coating 11 can maintain good performance under different environmental conditions and further absorb residual moisture, ensuring the stability and reliability of the transparent lampshade 2 in various usage scenarios.

[0020] In addition, the inner protective mesh 12 reduces the direct impact of external objects on the transparent lampshade 2 through its high-strength structure, protecting the transparent lampshade 2 from physical damage and thus improving the service life of the transparent lampshade 2. At the same time, the water-absorbing resin block 13 on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2 can efficiently absorb the water mist generated inside and lock the moisture firmly, preventing the water mist from condensing on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2, and ensuring the brightness of the LED light 3 and the clarity of signal transmission.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The buckle assembly includes a button 4, which is made of ABS plastic, has high strength and good wear resistance, and is not easily damaged under frequent pressing. The outer wall of the button 4 is slidably connected to the inside of the base 1. A fixing post 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 1. A second spring 15 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing post 14. One end of the second spring 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing post 14, and the other end of the second spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the button 4. A limit plate 16 is fixedly connected inside the base 1. The limit plate 16 is made of aluminum alloy, which has the characteristics of lightweight and high strength, and can effectively limit the travel of the button 4 to prevent excessive pressing from damaging the assembly. The side wall of the limit plate 16 is located inside the button 4.

[0022] Specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the transparent lampshade 2, the operator first needs to press button 4. When button 4 is subjected to external force, it will begin to move along the preset track. During this process, the movement of button 4 will drive the fixing post 14 on its side wall, causing it to slide along a specific groove inside the base 1. As the fixing post 14 moves, it will drive the second spring 15 on the outer wall, causing it to contract. At the same time, during the movement of button 4, it will also slide along the side wall of the limiting plate 16. The limiting plate 16 plays a key role in this process. It can limit the movement of button 4, ensuring that button 4 remains stable during the movement and does not deviate or shake. Finally, when button 4 is subjected to continuous external force, its top will detach from the inside of the transparent lampshade 2. Through this series of continuous actions, the disassembly effect of the transparent lampshade 2 is successfully achieved, providing convenience for subsequent maintenance or replacement operations.

[0023] Working principle: When using the combined signal light LED module, first press the base 1. The force on the base 1 will cause the side wall latch 5 to fit into the inside of another base 1. When the latch 5 is pressed into the inside of the other base 1, the side wall latch ball 7 will move. When the latch ball 7 moves, it will cause the outer wall first spring 6 to retract. At the same time, the retraction of the first spring 6 will make the side wall latch ball 7 stably press against the side wall of the latch 5, thus achieving the effect of combining the signal light LED module. Then, the hydrophobic coating 9 removes water droplets hanging on the outer wall of the transparent lampshade 2 and promotes the shedding of water droplets. Next, the micropores of the ePTEF membrane 10 allow gas to pass through but prevent liquid water from penetrating, achieving a balance between breathability and waterproofing. The drying coating 11 can maintain good performance under different environmental conditions, ensuring the stability and reliability of the transparent lampshade in various usage scenarios. Then, the inner protective mesh 12 reduces the direct impact of external objects on the transparent lampshade 2, protecting the transparent lampshade 2 from physical damage and improving the service life of the transparent lampshade 2. Then, the water-absorbing resin block 13 on the inner wall of the transparent lampshade 2 absorbs the water mist inside the transparent lampshade 2 and locks in the moisture, achieving the effect of reducing water mist in the transparent lampshade 2. Then, when disassembling the transparent lampshade 2, first press button 4. Button 4 moves the lampshade 2, and the movement of button 4 causes the fixing post 14 on the side wall to slide inside the base 1. Next, when the fixing post 14 moves, it will cause the second spring 15 on the outer wall to retract. At the same time as button 4 moves, it will slide against the side wall of the limiting plate 16. The limiting plate 16 limits button 4 and makes it move stably. Then, when button 4 is subjected to force, the top will be disassembled from the inside of the transparent lampshade 2, thus achieving the effect of disassembling the transparent lampshade 2.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
