Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar garden light technology, specifically a liftable solar garden light. Background Technology

[0002] With the industry trend of combining garden landscape lighting with green energy, solar garden lights have become the mainstream choice for urban parks, community courtyards, scenic trails and other scenarios due to their advantages of not needing to be connected to the external power grid and having low operation and maintenance costs.

[0003] Because solar panels are often designed with photoelectric conversion efficiency and ease of installation in mind, their integration with the overall design of the lamp body is often neglected. In most cases, the solar panel is simply and awkwardly placed on top of the garden lamp, with its shape, material, and color differing significantly from the lamp body's style. For example, some classically styled garden lamps may feature exquisite wood carvings or antique-style metal bodies with smooth, elegant lines; however, the solar panels on top are often regular rectangles or squares with smooth surfaces and modern metal frames, creating a stark contrast with the classical style of the lamp body.

[0004] This lack of harmony in design creates a noticeable sense of visual fragmentation in the garden lights. This visual fragmentation not only affects the aesthetic value of the garden lights themselves, but also weakens the harmony and unity of the entire garden landscape to some extent, failing to bring visual pleasure and enjoyment to people. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model proposes a liftable solar-powered garden light. During nighttime illumination, the first light strip emits light on the back of the decorative panel. At this time, the user's visual focus remains on the shape of the decorative panel, rather than the isolated light strip of the LED beads, ensuring that the visual effect serves the garden scene atmosphere both day and night. This solves the problem of visual segmentation caused by the shape of the solar panel in traditional garden lights.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A liftable solar garden light includes, from bottom to top, a base, an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and a lamp head. The bottom of the outer sleeve is fixedly connected to the base. The outer sleeve is equipped with a lifting device and a power supply system. The movable end of the lifting device is fixedly connected to the inner sleeve. The outer side wall of the inner sleeve is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the outer sleeve. The lamp head is fixedly installed on the top of the inner sleeve. The lamp head includes a mounting base and a decorative panel. Multiple decorative panels are disposed on the mounting base. A solar panel is disposed on the light-facing side of the decorative panel, and a first light strip is disposed on the backside of the decorative panel. The power supply system is electrically connected to the solar panel and the first light strip respectively.

[0007] The mounting base includes a top wall, a side wall, and a bottom wall. The decorative panel includes a first decorative sub-panel and a second decorative sub-panel. Both the first decorative sub-panel and the second decorative sub-panel are arranged around the side wall of the mounting base. The first decorative sub-panel is located at the top of the side wall of the mounting base, and the second decorative sub-panel is located at the bottom of the side wall of the mounting base. The first decorative sub-panel and the second decorative sub-panel are staggered from each other.

[0008] The decorative panel includes curved edges and straight edges. The inner sides of the two curved edges are connected to the mounting base, and the outer sides of the curved edges are connected to the two ends of the straight edges. The decorative panel forms a petal shape that is wider in the middle and narrower at both ends.

[0009] The first light strip is provided on the inner side of the backlight surface of the first decorative sub-panel.

[0010] The backlight surface of the second decorative sub-panel is covered with the first light strip.

[0011] The bottom of the mounting base is provided with a second light strip and a diffuser. The second light strip and the diffuser are both located on the outside of the inner sleeve. The second light strip is located between the diffuser and the mounting base. The second light strip is electrically connected to the power supply system.

[0012] The top of the mounting base is provided with a light-sensing module and an arc-shaped cover. The center of the arc-shaped cover protrudes upward. The bottom of the arc-shaped cover is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base. The light-sensing module is disposed between the arc-shaped cover and the mounting base. The light-sensing module is electrically connected to the power supply system.

[0013] The lifting device includes multiple lifting power components arranged side by side. The bottom of each lifting power component is mounted on the base, and the movable end of each lifting power component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner sleeve. The lifting power component is electrically connected to the power supply system.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model can include the following beneficial effects: 1. When illuminating at night, the first light strip emits light on the back side of the decorative panel. At this time, the user's visual focus is still on the shape of the decorative panel, rather than the isolated light strip of the LED beads. This ensures that the visual effect serves the atmosphere of the garden scene both day and night, and solves the problem of visual segmentation caused by the shape of the solar panel in traditional garden lights.

[0015] 2. When there is no need for lighting during the day, the solar panel serves as part of the sun-facing surface of the decorative panel, and its texture, together with the shape of the decorative panel, constitutes a static landscape element. If the decorative panel is designed in the shape of petals, multiple decorative panels combined together will present a visual effect of biomimetic flowers under sunlight, naturally echoing the plants and water features in the garden.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "assembly," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 This describes a liftable solar-powered garden light according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] A liftable solar garden light includes, from bottom to top, a base 1, an outer sleeve 2, an inner sleeve 3, and a lamp head 4. The bottom of the outer sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The outer sleeve 2 is equipped with a lifting device 5 and a power supply system. The movable end of the lifting device 5 is fixedly connected to the inner sleeve 3. The outer side wall of the inner sleeve 3 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the outer sleeve 2. The lamp head 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner sleeve 3. The lamp head 4 includes a mounting base 41 and a decorative panel 42. A plurality of decorative panels 42 are disposed on the mounting base 41. A solar panel 43 is disposed on the light-facing side of the decorative panel 42, and a first light strip 44 is disposed on the backside of the decorative panel 42. The power supply system is electrically connected to the solar panel 43 and the first light strip 44 respectively.

[0023] A solar panel 43 is installed on the light-facing side of the decorative panel 42, and a first light strip 44 is installed on the back side of the decorative panel 42. What the user sees is the complete shape of the decorative panel 42, rather than a combination of the decorative panel 42, the solar panel 43 and the light source. This completely eliminates the sense of additional functional components in traditional designs and makes the visual design more integrated.

[0024] When there is no need for lighting during the day, the solar panel 43 serves as part of the sun-facing surface of the decorative panel 42, and its texture and shape together constitute a static landscape element. If the decorative panel 42 is designed in the shape of petals, then multiple decorative panels 42 combined together will present a visual effect of biomimetic flowers under sunlight, naturally echoing the plants and water features in the garden.

[0025] When illuminating at night, the first light strip 44 emits light on the back side of the decorative panel 42. At this time, the user's visual focus is still on the shape of the decorative panel 42, rather than the isolated light strip of the LED beads, ensuring that the visual effect serves the atmosphere of the garden scene both day and night, and solving the problem of visual segmentation caused by the shape of the solar panel 43 in traditional garden lights.

[0026] The outer sleeve 2 is equipped with a lifting device 5, which can move the inner sleeve 3 up and down to adjust the height of the lamp head 4. This not only changes the light coverage and ground illuminance of the first light strip 44 to adapt to the functional lighting needs of different areas of the garden, but also adjusts the height of the solar panel 43 so that it can avoid being blocked by leaves and ensure the light-gathering effect of the solar panel 43.

[0027] In addition, when it is necessary to repair the first light strip 44 or clean the solar panel 43, the user does not need to use climbing equipment. The user can complete the operation by simply lowering the inner sleeve 3 to a height that the human body can operate using the lifting device 5, which greatly reduces the risk of falling from height for maintenance personnel.

[0028] It is worth noting that this utility model also includes an external power supply system. During the day, the solar panel 43 absorbs natural light and converts it into electrical energy. Through connection with the power supply system, the electrical energy is directly transmitted to the energy storage component within the power supply system for storage, completing the energy collection-storage stage. At night or when there is insufficient sunlight, the power supply system, through connection with the first light strip 44, stably transmits the stored electrical energy to the first light strip 44 to meet lighting needs, realizing the storage-supply stage. The entire process requires no external power grid connection, making it particularly suitable for remote parks or landscape areas where wiring is inconvenient.

[0029] The mounting base 41 includes a top wall, a side wall, and a bottom wall. The decorative panel 42 includes a first decorative sub-panel 421 and a second decorative sub-panel 422. The first decorative sub-panel 421 and the second decorative sub-panel 422 are both arranged around the side wall of the mounting base 41. The first decorative sub-panel 421 is disposed at the top of the side wall of the mounting base 41, and the second decorative sub-panel 422 is disposed at the bottom of the side wall of the mounting base 41. The first decorative sub-panel and the second decorative sub-panel 422 are staggered from each other.

[0030] The first decorative sub-panel 421 and the second decorative sub-panel 422 are arranged in layers and staggered to avoid the first decorative sub-panel 421 casting a shadow on the solar panel 43 of the second decorative sub-panel 422 when exposed to sunlight, ensuring that the sun-facing surfaces of the first decorative sub-panel 421 and the second decorative sub-panel 422 can fully receive natural light.

[0031] Moreover, the first decorative sub-plate 421 and the second decorative sub-plate 422 are arranged around the side wall of the mounting base 41, so that the first decorative sub-plate 421 and the second decorative sub-plate 422 can achieve 360° lighting without dead angles. They are especially suitable for scenes that require all-round lighting, such as garden walkways and flower bed centers, and can meet the lighting needs of the surrounding environment without additional adjustment of the lamp orientation.

[0032] The decorative panel 42 includes curved edges and straight edges. The inner sides of the two curved edges are connected to the mounting base 41, and the outer sides of the curved edges are connected to the two ends of the straight edges. The decorative panel 42 forms a petal shape that is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends.

[0033] The petal-shaped design itself matches the morphological characteristics of natural plants in the garden, allowing the functional components of the solar panel 43 and the light strip to blend into the environment through biomimetic forms. This avoids the visual discontinuity of traditional industrial-style designs. Although it does not deliberately emphasize aesthetics, it strengthens the harmony between the lighting fixtures and the garden ecology through synergistic forms.

[0034] The first light strip 44 is provided on the inner side of the backlight surface of the first decorative sub-panel 421.

[0035] Because the decorative panel 42 is wider in the middle and narrower on both sides, the first decorative sub-panel 421 and the second decorative sub-panel 422 overlap in the vertical direction. If the first light strip 44 completely covers the backlight surface of the first decorative sub-panel 421, the area blocked by the second decorative sub-panel 422 will form a local shadow band, while the unblocked area will be too bright. This results in uneven lighting and messy light spots in the overall illumination of the lamp head 4, which especially affects the need for uniform lighting in garden walkways and rest areas.

[0036] Therefore, by placing the first light strip 44 only inside the first decorative sub-plate 421, the light emitted by the light strip diffuses outward and downward from the inner area without being blocked by the second decorative sub-plate 422, thus achieving the effect of zero light loss.

[0037] The backlight surface of the second decorative sub-panel 422 is covered by the first light strip 44.

[0038] There are no other lighting components below the second decorative sub-panel 422. The first light strip 44 is fully covered by the backlight of the second decorative sub-panel 422, so there is no need to worry about the light being blocked by the components below. This eliminates the problem of ineffective light emission caused by the blocking of traditional partial light strips from the root.

[0039] The bottom of the mounting base 41 is provided with a second light strip 47 and a diffuser 48. The second light strip 47 and the diffuser 48 are both located on the outside of the inner sleeve 3. The second light strip 47 is located between the diffuser 48 and the mounting base 41. The second light strip 47 is electrically connected to the power supply system.

[0040] The diffuser 48 converts the direct light from the point source of the second light strip 47 into diffused light from a surface source. The light becomes soft and uniform after passing through the diffuser, preventing pedestrians from feeling glared when looking directly at the light strips. Meanwhile, the ambient light from the first light strip 44 illuminates the environment above, and the ambient light from the second light strip 47 illuminates the ground, creating 360° surround lighting without blind spots and enhancing the user's sense of security.

[0041] The top of the mounting base 41 is provided with a light sensor module 45 and an arc-shaped cover 46. The center of the arc-shaped cover 46 protrudes upward. The bottom of the arc-shaped cover 46 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 41. The light sensor module 45 is disposed between the arc-shaped cover 46 and the mounting base 41. The light sensor module 45 is electrically connected to the power supply system.

[0042] The arc-shaped cover 46 and the mounting base 41 form a closed cavity, enclosing the light sensor module 45 and directly isolating it from outdoor rainwater, dust, insects, fallen leaves, and other impurities. This prevents rainwater from seeping into the light sensor module 45 interface and causing a short circuit, and prevents dust from covering the module's sensing surface and reducing sensitivity, fundamentally reducing the wear and tear on electronic components caused by the outdoor environment.

[0043] Moreover, the upward-convex structure of the curved cover 46 creates an outward-sloping surface around the cover, which does not block ambient light. Whether it is strong midday light, weak twilight light, or diffused light on a cloudy day, it can enter the interior without obstruction from all sides of the curved cover 46 and accurately act on the light sensing module 45, avoiding misjudgments caused by partial light blocking of traditional flat cover.

[0044] The curved cover 46 requires a material that is both light-transmitting and impact-resistant. High-quality light-transmitting material allows natural light to pass through the curved cover 46 without loss, ensuring that the light-sensing module 45 can accurately detect the current ambient light intensity. The light-sensing module 45 detects when the ambient light intensity weakens and transmits the signal to the power supply system, which immediately activates the first light strip 44 and the second light strip 47. When the ambient light intensifies and exceeds a threshold, the power supply system automatically cuts off power, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of timing parameters and ultimately achieving intelligent lighting for the garden lights.

[0045] The lifting device 5 includes multiple lifting power components arranged side by side. The bottom of each lifting power component is installed on the base 1, and the movable end of each lifting power component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner sleeve 3. The lifting power component is electrically connected to the power supply system.

[0046] The lifting power components can be hydraulic cylinder drive structures, motor screw drive structures, electric push rod drive structures, and other lifting structures.

[0047] Multiple lifting components are evenly distributed along the base 1, with their movable ends synchronously connected to the bottom of the inner sleeve 3. This distributes the weight of the lamp head 4 and the inner sleeve 3 evenly across each lifting component, reducing stress concentration on individual parts and preventing the inner sleeve 3 from tilting due to excessive force on one side. If one lifting component fails, the remaining components can still drive the inner sleeve 3 to rise and fall through coordinated force, ensuring that the lamp head 4 can be temporarily adjusted in height.

[0048] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
