Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buoy light technology, and in particular to an integrated multi-color navigation light. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of buoy light technology, buoy lights typically use a light strip to support multiple LEDs to achieve illumination or signal indication functions. In existing technologies, the light strip is mostly a continuous, integral structure. When multiple LEDs are installed on the light strip, the overall weight of the light strip is relatively large. Under conditions of vibration and swaying of the buoy (such as swaying caused by waves in a marine environment), the light strip is prone to detaching from the support, causing the buoy light to malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an integrated multi-color navigation light.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is: an integrated multi-color navigation light, comprising:

[0005] Support components;

[0006] A light strip is mounted on the support member and has multiple LED beads on it; a partition groove is formed on the light strip between two adjacent LED beads;

[0007] A lampshade is provided on the outside of the support member. A convex lens is provided on the lampshade. The position of the convex lens corresponds to that of the lamp bead. The convex lens is used to focus the light emitted by the lamp bead.

[0008] Preferably, the support is made of metal and is used for heat dissipation of the light strip.

[0009] Preferably, the light strip and the support member are connected by heat-dissipating double-sided adhesive.

[0010] Preferably, the plurality of said LED beads include four colors: red, green, yellow, and white.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes an antenna, which is disposed on top of the support member.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the lampshade is provided with a plastic shell, which covers the outside of the antenna.

[0013] Preferably, the number of light strips is at least two.

[0014] Preferably, the convex lens has at least two layers, and the two layers of convex lenses correspond to the positions of the lamp beads on the two lamp strips, so as to converge the light from the lamp beads on the two lamp strips respectively.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by creating partition grooves in the light strip between two adjacent LED beads, the light strip can be divided into multiple relatively independent LED bead installation areas. This helps reduce the risk of the entire light strip falling off due to vibration, shaking, or other operating conditions affecting the float, and also reduces the possibility of mutual interference caused by the close arrangement of adjacent LED beads, thereby improving the reliability of the light strip and LED beads to a certain extent.

The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

Therefore, the phrases "an embodiment," "an example," "an example," or "an example" appearing in various places throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] This embodiment provides an integrated multi-color navigation light, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a support member 1, a light strip 2, and a lamp cover 5. The light strip 2 is disposed on the support member 1 and has multiple LED beads 3. A partition groove 4 is formed on the light strip 2 between two adjacent LED beads 3. The lamp cover 5 covers the outside of the support member 1 and has a convex lens 6 disposed on the lamp cover 5. The position of the convex lens 6 corresponds to that of the LED beads 3, and the convex lens 6 is used to converge the light emitted by the LED beads 3.

[0024] For example, the support component 1 is made of metal (such as aluminum alloy, copper and other metals with excellent thermal conductivity). The support component 1 can provide an installation base for the light strip 2 and ensure the positional stability of the light strip 2 inside the buoy light. It can also utilize the high thermal conductivity of metal to quickly dissipate the heat generated by the light bead 3 when it is working, so as to avoid the light bead 3 being damaged or its performance degraded due to overheating.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, the light strip 2 and the support member 1 are connected by heat dissipation double-sided adhesive. The heat dissipation double-sided adhesive not only achieves mechanical fixation between the light strip 2 and the support member 1, but also enhances the heat conduction efficiency, assists the light strip 2 in transferring heat to the metal support member 1, and further improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] The light strip 2 is equipped with multiple LED beads 3, and a partition groove 4 is provided on the light strip 2 between two adjacent LED beads 3. The function of the partition groove 4 is to physically isolate the LED beads 3, so as to avoid mutual interference between adjacent LED beads 3 when the buoy is subjected to vibration and shaking (such as being impacted by waves in the marine environment) due to their close arrangement, effectively preventing the LED beads 3 from falling off and improving the reliability of the light strip 2.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, the light strip 2 is made of a substrate with a certain rigidity (such as a PCB board). Along the arrangement direction of the LED beads 3, a partition groove 4 is provided between the installation positions of every two adjacent LED beads 3. The partition groove 4 ensures that the installation areas of adjacent LED beads 3 are independent of each other; the depth of the partition groove 4 is at least through the surface layer of the substrate of the light strip 2 (if it is a multi-layer PCB board, the depth can be set to 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the substrate thickness, which not only realizes the division of the bearing area of ​​adjacent LED beads 3, but also maintains the overall structural connection strength of the light strip 2). Each LED bead 3 is fixed in an independent bearing unit of the substrate of the light strip 2 by welding or embedding (the independent bearing unit is formed by the partition groove 4). When the buoy vibrates and shakes due to the impact of waves in the marine environment, the vibration of each LED bead 3 is confined to its own bearing unit, avoiding the chain effect of vibration pulling adjacent LED beads 3 through the continuous substrate after one LED bead 3 becomes loose. This cuts off the transmission path of mass LED bead detachment from the structural root, significantly improving the reliability of the connection between the LED beads 3 and the light strip 2.

[0028] The multiple LED beads 3 include four colors: red, green, yellow, and white. The four colors of LED beads and their matching light quality strictly comply with the "Navigation Light Signal Colors" regulations, and the specific compatibility is as follows:

[0029] The white LED bead uses a "flash (2) white 5-second" light quality (flashes twice every 5 seconds), corresponding to isolated hazard markers, used to indicate that there are hazard markers near the navigation mark, and ships should stay as far away as possible when navigating;

[0030] The yellow LED uses the "P-Yellow 12-second" light quality (illuminating in the Morse code "P" rhythm for 12 seconds), corresponding to the special sign for no-navigation zones, used to indicate that ships are prohibited from navigating near the navigation mark;

[0031] The red LED uses a "flash (2) red for 6 seconds" light quality (flashes twice every 6 seconds), corresponding to the left side mark. When the ship is sailing along the channel, it needs to place the mark on the left side to pass;

[0032] The green LED uses a "single flash green for 4 seconds" light quality (flashing once every 4 seconds), corresponding to the starboard mark. When a vessel is sailing along the channel, it must pass on the starboard side.

[0033] The correspondence between the above-mentioned LED colors and light quality can be referenced in the "Navigational Aids in Chinese Sea Areas" regarding the matching requirements between navigation aid types and light signals. Software control can be used to enable individual lighting of single-color LEDs or combination lighting of multiple-color LEDs to meet the signal indication needs of different waterway scenarios.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the lampshade 5 covers the outside of the support 1, isolating external moisture and impurities and protecting internal electrical components such as the lamp strips 2 and LED beads 3. A convex lens 6 is installed on the lampshade 5, with each convex lens 6 corresponding to one of the LED beads 3. When the LED beads 3 emit light, the convex lens 6 converges the light emitted by the LED beads 3, making the light more concentrated and enhancing the brightness of the buoy light or the directional indication of the signal. If there are two or more lamp strips 2 (such as upper and lower layers of lamp strips 2), there are at least two layers of convex lenses 6. Each layer of convex lenses 6 corresponds to a different LED bead 3 on a different lamp strip 2, thereby converging the light from the LED beads 3 on each lamp strip 2 and ensuring that the light from each layer of lamp strip 2 can be effectively controlled.

[0035] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an antenna 7, which is disposed on the top of the support member 1. For example, the top of the support member 1 has a groove, and the bottom of the antenna 7 is embedded in the groove. The antenna 7 is bonded and fixed to the inner wall of the groove with high-temperature resistant adhesive, ensuring that the antenna 7 is not easily loosened in a vibration environment, and that the adhesive does not affect the signal transmission and reception of the antenna 7. The antenna 7 is used for signal transmission of the buoy light (such as wireless communication with external devices, transmitting light control commands, buoy light working status, etc.). The top of the lamp cover 5 is provided with a plastic shell 8, which covers the outside of the antenna 7. The plastic shell 8 on the top of the lamp cover 5 not only protects the antenna 7, but also, because the plastic material does not significantly shield the antenna 7 signal, ensures the communication performance of the antenna 7.

[0036] In the specific implementation process, when the buoy light is working, after the light bead 3 emits light, the corresponding convex lens 6 converges the light, making the light propagate in a directional manner, enhancing brightness and directionality; if it is a multi-layer light strip 2, each layer of convex lens 6 converges the light of the corresponding light strip 2, improving the overall optical effect; the heat generated by the light bead 3 is transferred to the metal support 1 through the heat dissipation double-sided adhesive, and then dissipated to the outside by the support 1, achieving efficient heat dissipation and ensuring that the light bead 3 works stably for a long time; the partition groove 4 between adjacent light beads 3 effectively prevents the light beads 3 from falling off or short-circuiting under the condition of buoy shaking or vibration, improving the structural reliability of the light strip 2; the antenna 7 can communicate wirelessly with the external system to realize remote control of the buoy light (such as adjusting the light color and frequency) or feedback on the working status.

[0037] In existing technologies, due to the limited space, energy, and equipment on board the buoy, each buoy needs to be equipped with a dedicated light. In order to meet emergency needs, a certain number of lights of each color (red, green, yellow, and white) must be reserved, resulting in a large number of lights to be reserved. Furthermore, multiple colors of lights need to be carried during the inspection and maintenance of maritime buoys, which is inconvenient.

[0038] The integrated multicolor navigation light of this embodiment, with its four-color LED beads and matching light quality design, can replace multiple single-color dedicated lights. This significantly reduces the amount of navigation lights required and lowers equipment storage costs. Furthermore, during maritime inspections and maintenance, personnel do not need to carry multiple colors of lights, reducing their carrying burden. The LED bead color and light quality can be remotely adjusted via antenna 7 to quickly adapt to different navigation light types, significantly improving the navigation light's emergency response capability and further enhancing the safety of maritime operations.

[0039] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
