[0002] In modern cultural performances and large-scale events, high-power fill lights, with their powerful illumination and rich lighting effects, have become key equipment for creating atmosphere and enhancing the visual experience. The high-power fill light controller, as the core component controlling the operation of the fill light and switching lighting effects, directly affects the overall operating efficiency and cost of the fill light due to its performance stability and structural rationality. In high-power fill lights, based on comprehensive considerations of functional requirements, safety, and practicality, a separate controller is typically required to control the fill light unit. The controller and the fill light unit communicate with each other to achieve control of the fill light unit.

[0003] In existing high-power supplemental lighting controllers, the core components are typically housed within a casing for protection. However, the casing of existing controllers usually includes four side covers and two end covers, each requiring screws to be secured between the two end covers. This structural design results in complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive assembly steps, hindering efforts to reduce controller manufacturing costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the controllers of existing high-power supplementary lights to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0033] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0034] In existing high-power supplemental lighting controllers, the core components are typically housed within a casing for protection. However, the casing of existing controllers usually includes four side covers and two end covers, each requiring screws to be secured between the two end covers. This structural design results in complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive assembly steps, hindering efforts to reduce controller manufacturing costs.

[0035] Based on this, this application provides a fill light controller. Example

[0036] See Figures 1-6 The supplementary lighting controller provided in this embodiment includes a main body and a housing, two oppositely arranged end caps 300 and a first side cap 100 and a second side cap 200 disposed between the two end caps 300;

[0037] The first side cover 100 has a first snap-fit ​​structure on one side and a second snap-fit ​​structure on the opposite side;

[0038] The second side cover 200 has a third snap-fit ​​structure on one side and a fourth snap-fit ​​structure on the opposite side; the first snap-fit ​​structure and the third snap-fit ​​structure snap together, and the second snap-fit ​​structure and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure snap together.

[0039] The two end caps 300 are respectively provided with two opposite ends of the side caps.

[0040] The aforementioned supplementary lighting controller, during assembly, aligns the first snap-fit ​​structure of the first side cover 100 with the third snap-fit ​​structure of the second side cover 200, and pushes them along the length direction to snap them into place. Simultaneously, the second snap-fit ​​structure of the first side cover 100 and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure of the second side cover 200 also snap into place, forming a complete cylindrical sidewall structure. Then, the end caps 300 are aligned with and fixed to both ends of the cylindrical sidewall structure, completing the assembly of the outer casing. Finally, the controller body is installed inside the casing. The controller's casing uses a snap-fit ​​design where the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are joined together, and only two side covers are needed to form the cylindrical sidewall. This simplifies the assembly steps and shortens assembly time; moreover, this structural design facilitates later maintenance and helps reduce maintenance costs.

[0041] Furthermore, each of the two side covers has a first mounting hole 130 at both opposite ends, and the two end covers 300 have a second mounting hole, which corresponds to the first mounting hole 130.

[0042] The end cap 300 is locked to the two side caps by a locking member that connects the second mounting hole and the first mounting hole 130.

[0043] After the two side covers are snapped together to form a cylindrical sidewall structure, align the two end covers 300 with the two ends of the cylindrical sidewall structure, so that the mounting grooves on the edges of the end covers 300 fit against the ends of the sidewall structure, and align the second mounting holes of the end covers 300 with the first mounting holes 130 of the two side covers. Next, use locking devices (such as stainless steel screws) connecting the second mounting holes and the first mounting holes 130 to lock one of the end covers 300 onto the two side covers, achieving a stable connection between the end cover 300 and the side covers. Then, install the controller body inside the housing. Finally, fix the other end cover 300 onto the cylindrical sidewall structure to complete the assembly of the housing.

[0044] Furthermore, both the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 have multiple ribs 220 on their outer walls, with each rib 220 extending along the height of the side cover. The ribs 220 improve the heat dissipation of the casing.

[0045] The ribs 220 on the outer walls of the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 increase the contact area between the outer casing and the air, accelerating the dissipation of heat inside the controller. This effectively prevents the controller from being affected by high temperatures, thus extending its service life.

[0046] This embodiment provides specific implementations of each snap-fit ​​structure. Further, the first snap-fit ​​structure is identical to the second snap-fit ​​structure, and the third snap-fit ​​structure is identical to the fourth snap-fit ​​structure.

[0047] The first snap-fit ​​structure includes a limiting wall 120 and a limiting post 110, with a snap-fit ​​groove formed between the limiting wall 120 and the limiting post 110; the limiting post 110 is provided with the first mounting hole 130; the snap-fit ​​groove formed by the limiting wall 120 and the limiting post 110 can realize the design of the snap-fit ​​structure and save the material of the outer shell.

[0048] The third snap-fit ​​structure includes an insert 210 disposed on the edge of the second side cover 200, the insert 210 being adapted to the slot. Specifically, the slot and the insert 210 are both arranged along the length of the side cover. This structural design ensures that the snap-fit ​​structure has a sufficiently large contact area after snapping, thereby ensuring structural stability.

[0049] Furthermore, the inner wall of the second side cover 200 is provided with a limiting strip, the length of which is along the height of the side cover. The limiting strip is located on one side of the insert block 210. After the insert block 210 is inserted into the slot, one side wall of the limiting strip abuts against the limiting post 110, thereby increasing the contact area between the two side covers and improving structural stability.

[0050] In practical applications, both side covers are L-shaped. When the two side covers are snapped together, they form a cylindrical structure, which effectively saves assembly time for the outer casing.

[0051] Furthermore, the main body includes a cooling fan 1 and a radiator 2. The radiator 2 includes two connecting side plates 21 and a first base plate 23 and a second base plate 22 that are parallel to each other. The connecting side plates 21 are disposed on opposite sides of the two base plates. Multiple parallel ribs 24 are also disposed between the two base plates, and a ventilation channel 25 is formed between two adjacent ribs 24. The radiator 2 of this application can be integrally formed from aluminum alloy. The outer contour of the entire radiator 2 is rectangular. In actual use, efficient heat exchange with the outside world is achieved through the ventilation channel 25.

[0052] Both the cooling fan 1 and the heat sink 2 are housed within the controller's housing. The cooling fan 1 is positioned on one side of the heat sink 2, facing the ventilation channel 25. When the heat sink 2 is housed within the controller's housing, the periphery of the connecting side plate 21 abuts against the inner wall of the housing, forming a mounting cavity 101. The connecting side plate 21 has a support position for supporting the circuit board. The outer periphery of any connecting side plate 21 is press-fitted against the inner wall of the housing, forming a sealed mounting cavity 101, thereby isolating the ventilation channel 25 from the rest of the space within the housing. The connecting side plate 21 has a support position on the side facing away from the ventilation channel 25. When the circuit board is mounted on the support position, the space where the circuit board is located is physically isolated from the space where the ventilation channel 25 is located, thus achieving dustproof and waterproof functionality for the circuit board. However, the heat generated by the circuit board during operation can be transferred to the ventilation channel 25 through the connecting side plate 21 and carried away by the airflow, thereby achieving effective heat dissipation.

[0053] Specifically, the bearing position is located inside the mounting cavity 101, and the bearing position is located on the side of the connecting side plate 21 away from the ventilation channel 25; the edge of the bearing position is provided with a locking block to limit the circuit board, and when the circuit board is placed in the bearing position, thermally conductive silicone grease is applied between the circuit board and the connecting side plate 21.

[0054] The heat dissipation structure is installed inside the controller's housing. Multiple ribs 24 in the heat sink 2 form multiple ventilation channels 25. The cooling fan 1 is positioned towards the ventilation channels 25, enabling rapid airflow within them. Heat generated during circuit board operation is transferred to the connecting side plate 21, and then conducted to the first substrate 23, the second substrate 22, and the ribs 24. The flowing air effectively removes heat from these components, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring the circuit board operates at a suitable temperature. Furthermore, the periphery of the connecting side plate 21 abuts against the inner wall of the housing, forming a relatively enclosed mounting cavity 101. The circuit board is located within this cavity, reducing the chance of external dust and moisture entering and contacting the board. This provides a good protective environment, enhancing the circuit board's dust and water resistance, thus preventing malfunctions caused by overheating, dust accumulation, or moisture. This significantly improves the stability of the circuit board's operation, ensuring the normal operation of the controller and even the entire supplementary lighting system.

[0055] Furthermore, the two connecting side plates 21 are parallel to each other, the first substrate 23 is disposed at the edge of the two connecting side plates 21, and the second substrate 22 is disposed at the middle of the two connecting side plates 21;

[0056] A heat dissipation position 26 for accommodating heat-generating devices is formed between the two connecting side plates 21 and the second substrate 22.

[0057] Two connecting side plates 21 remain parallel and extend longitudinally along the outer casing; the first substrate 23 is located directly at the top edge of the two connecting side plates 21, fitting against the inner wall of the outer casing cover; the second substrate 22 is recessed to the middle height of the two connecting side plates 21, parallel to the first substrate 23. Thus, the first substrate 23, the second substrate 22, and the two connecting side plates 21 enclose a heat dissipation space 26 with one side open, which can fully accommodate tall power devices (such as MOSFET modules, rectifier bridges, or transformers). The power device is first secured to the upper surface of the second substrate 22, and its heating surface is also coated with thermal grease between itself and the second substrate 22. The cooling fan 1 is still located at one end of the heat sink 2, and the airflow still flows along the ventilation channel 25 formed by the ribs 24. However, at this time, the second substrate 22 simultaneously acts as a "cold plate" to absorb heat from the power device, while the first substrate 23 also serves as a temperature-equalizing cover, further diffusing the heat laterally, so that the heat is evenly distributed a second time before reaching the ventilation channel 25. A thermally conductive pad can be applied between the inner wall of the outer casing and the first substrate 23 to form an auxiliary heat dissipation path for the casing. The open cavity of the heat dissipation position 26 can accommodate large-volume power devices with greater height without the need to add protrusions or heat dissipation fins to the outside of the casing, keeping the overall height unchanged and improving space utilization.

[0058] More preferably, the outer wall of the first side cover 100 is provided with a plurality of connecting joints 400, each of the connecting joints 400 being electrically connected to the main body.

[0059] The connector 400 can be a power cord connector used to power the controller, enabling it to operate normally. The main body also includes a wireless connection module for connecting to the fill light, thus allowing the controller to control the fill light. The wireless connection module can be a Bluetooth module or a Wi-Fi module.
