Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of street light technology, and in particular to a waterproof front-flip street light that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] For example, Chinese patent CN223360528U discloses an economical street light that is easy to install and maintain. By designing a rotatable cover, users can easily open or close the mounting cavity without a complicated disassembly process, thereby effectively improving the convenience of daily maintenance and reducing the difficulty of repairing and replacing internal components.

[0003] However, this street light still has significant technical shortcomings in practical application. First, the sealing structure relies on bolts, requiring specialized tools to remove them during maintenance and repair. This not only increases the number of steps involved but also reduces response efficiency during emergency repairs. Second, it lacks an automatic power-off mechanism when the cover is opened for repairs in rainy weather. The exposed circuitry cannot automatically cut off the power, posing a significant risk of electric shock and threatening the personal safety of maintenance personnel. Third, the sealing performance is insufficient. In rainy or snowy weather, rainwater can easily seep into the streetlights through the gaps in the bolt connections and the joints of the cover plates, causing short circuits. This problem not only frequently causes streetlight interruptions and affects the stability of road lighting, but also accelerates the corrosion and aging of internal electronic components, significantly shortening the lifespan of the streetlights and increasing the cost of later maintenance and replacement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a waterproof front-flip street light that is easy to maintain. It solves the technical problems of existing technologies, such as the need for professional tools for disassembly, which reduces the efficiency of emergency repairs, the lack of a flip-top power-off structure, the risk of electric shock during maintenance in rainy weather, and insufficient sealing, which makes it prone to water leakage and short circuits. The present invention improves its waterproof sealing performance, allows for quick opening of the street light for maintenance without tools, and automatically cuts off the power when the cover is opened to avoid the risk of electric shock.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof front-flip street light that is easy to maintain, including a lamp body, an installation cavity for arranging circuits is opened at the bottom of the front of the lamp body, a power supply is installed in the installation cavity, an electrical contact base electrically connected to the power supply is fixedly connected to one side of the installation cavity, a sealed inner shell is fixedly connected to the installation cavity outside the power supply and the electrical contact base, a front flip cover is rotatably connected to the top of the installation cavity through a hinge seat, a movable contact socket adapted to the electrical contact base is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front flip cover, a sealing snap shell adapted to the sealed inner shell is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front flip cover, and locking fasteners that fasten to the front flip cover are installed on both sides of the lamp body.

[0006] A further improvement is that the top shell of the front flip cover has a sloping structure with a higher inner surface and a lower outer surface, and its front surface is an irregular arc surface.

[0007] A further improvement is that the top of the sealing inner shell is an inclined slope structure with a lower inner surface and a higher front surface, and the sealing snap-fit ​​shell is an inner buckle structure with a lower outer surface and a higher inner surface that is adapted to it, and it is fitted into the outer side of the sealing inner shell.

[0008] A further improvement is that the moving contact socket is plugged into the electrical contact base, and the two form a complete circuit.

[0009] A further improvement is that the locking element is provided with an elastic locking strip, and the front flip cover is provided with a locking groove adapted to the locking element, and a locking seat adapted to the elastic locking strip is fixedly connected in the locking groove.

[0010] A further improvement is that multiple LED beads are installed in an array inside the lamp body, and the LED beads are electrically connected to the power supply through electrical contacts. A tempered glass cover plate is fixed to the front of the lamp body and outside the LED beads.

[0011] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a waterproof front-flip street light that is easy to maintain, and has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model allows the front cover to be opened by unlocking the latch, enabling inspection and maintenance of electrical components inside the installation cavity without the need for professional tools, making maintenance more convenient. During the opening of the front cover, the moving contact socket disengages from the electrical contact base, thereby achieving automatic power cut-off and avoiding the risk of electric shock. When the front cover is closed, the sealing snap-fit ​​shell is engaged with the sealing inner shell, forming a second seal to prevent rainwater from seeping into the lamp body and causing a short circuit in the street light.

[0012] 2. When a small amount of rainwater seeps in from the gap between the mounting cavity and the front flip cover, the raindrops flow through the inner slope structure of the top of the sealing snap shell, which is lower on the outside and higher on the inside, and thus slide down from the outside of the sealing snap shell along its outer shell, preventing the rainwater from penetrating further into the inner sealing shell and causing a short circuit, thereby improving its overall sealing performance.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Current existing technologies require specialized tools for disassembly and repair, reducing emergency repair efficiency. They also lack a flip-top power-off mechanism, posing a risk of electric shock during rainy weather, and their insufficient sealing allows for water leakage, potentially causing short circuits. This embodiment provides a waterproof front-flip streetlight that facilitates maintenance. It improves the overall waterproof sealing of the streetlight, allows for quick opening and maintenance without tools, and automatically cuts off power upon opening to avoid the risk of electric shock. Please refer to... Figures 1-5 This waterproof, front-flip street light, designed for easy maintenance, includes a lamp body 1. A mounting cavity 2 for arranging circuitry is located at the bottom front of the lamp body 1. A power supply 3 is installed inside the mounting cavity 2. An electrical contact 4, electrically connected to the power supply 3, is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting cavity 2. A sealed inner shell 5 is fixedly connected inside the mounting cavity 2, outside the power supply 3 and the electrical contact 4. A front flip cover 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting cavity 2 via a hinge. A movable contact socket 7, compatible with the electrical contact 4, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front flip cover 6. A sealing snap-fit ​​shell 8, compatible with the sealed inner shell 5, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front flip cover 6. The lamp body 1 has two sides... The lamp body 1 is equipped with a locking fastener 9 that engages with the front cover 6. When the lamp body 1 needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the locking fastener 9 can be opened to lift the front cover 6 and inspect the electrical components inside the mounting cavity 2. No special tools are required for disassembly, making maintenance more convenient. During the process of lifting the front cover 6, the moving contact socket 7 disengages from the electrical contact base 4, thereby achieving automatic power cut-off when the cover is lifted, avoiding the risk of electric shock. When the front cover 6 is in the locked state, the sealing snap-fit ​​shell 8 is fastened to the sealing inner shell 5, thereby forming a second seal to prevent rainwater from seeping into the lamp body 1 and causing a short circuit in the street light.

[0018] Specifically, the top shell of the front flip cover 6 has a slope structure with a higher inner surface and a lower outer surface, and its front surface is an irregular arc surface structure. When rainwater falls on the front flip cover 6, the rainwater slides directly down along its top slope structure and drips down along the arc surface structure of the front flip cover 6, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the lamp body 1 through the gap between the front flip cover 6 and the lamp body 1 and causing a short circuit.

[0019] To prevent a small amount of rainwater from seeping into the mounting cavity 2 and causing damage to electrical components, the top of the sealing inner shell 5 has a sloping, downward-sloping structure. The sealing snap-fit ​​shell 8 has a corresponding structure that is downward-sloping on the outside and upward-sloping on the inside, and it is fitted onto the outside of the sealing inner shell 5. When a small amount of rainwater seeps into the mounting cavity 2 through the gap between the front flip cover 6, the raindrops flow through the downward-sloping, downward-sloping structure at the top of the sealing snap-fit ​​shell 8, and slide down its outer shell to the bottom of the mounting cavity 2, and flow out from the bottom gap. This prevents rainwater from further seeping into the interior of the sealing inner shell 5 and causing a short circuit, thereby improving its overall sealing performance.

[0020] Specifically, the movable socket 7 is inserted into the electrical contact base 4, and the two form a complete circuit. When the current flip cover 6 is closed, the movable socket 7 is inserted into the electrical contact base 4, thus forming a complete circuit for lighting. When the current flip cover 6 is opened for maintenance, the movable socket 7 slides off the electrical contact base 4, thereby automatically cutting off the power and preventing electric shock to maintenance personnel, thus improving maintenance safety.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking element 9 is provided with an elastic retaining strip 91, and the front flip cover 6 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that is compatible with the locking element 9, and a snap-fit ​​seat 92 that is compatible with the elastic retaining strip 91 is fixedly connected in the snap-fit ​​groove; when the front flip cover 6 is fastened onto the mounting cavity 2, the locking element 9 is pried open so that it snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove on the front flip cover 6, and the elastic retaining strip 91 inside the locking element 9 snaps into the snap-fit ​​seat 92, thereby completing the sealing of the front flip cover 6. When opening, the locking element 9 can be quickly opened for maintenance simply by prying it open to the outside.

[0022] Specifically, the lamp body 1 has multiple LED beads 11 installed in an array inside, and the LED beads 11 are electrically connected to the power supply 3 through the electrical contact 4. A tempered glass cover plate 12 is fixedly attached to the front of the lamp body 1 and outside the LED beads 11. The power supply 3 provides power to the LED beads 11 for illumination. The tempered glass cover plate 12 protects the LED beads 11 and prevents them from being corroded by rainwater and dust.
