Description

Field of technology:

[0001] This invention relates to a self-electric and energy-saving street lamp that can store and utilize solar energy and gradually turns on and off by sensing the brightness of the air. State of the art:

[0002] Today, streetlights are widely used throughout the world to illuminate streets and roads at night. Many streetlights automatically turn on and off depending on the location of the city and the time of sunrise and sunset. However, taking into account the Earth's movements around the sun and daylight saving time, streetlights often turn on or off earlier or later. Furthermore, streetlights generally consume a lot of electrical energy.

[0003] A "street lamp" is described in patent application KR100741525B1. The invention comprises a fixed pole mounted vertically on the ground, a rotating pole equipped with a lamp at one end, and a connecting element connecting the fixed pole and the rotating pole, the rotating pole being capable of rotating in a vertical direction. For this purpose, it includes a hinge mechanism connecting the connecting element and the rotating element, as well as a crane mechanism that rotates the hinge mechanism about the hinge point. Since the rotating pole, on which the lamp is mounted, can rotate vertically and horizontally relative to the ground and can be folded in multiple stages, the street lamp configured as described above requires minimal manpower and does not cause traffic congestion in any city center.Maintenance work on street lamps can be carried out quickly and safely on site.

[0004] An "LED street lamp" is described in patent application CN113028322A. The invention provides an LED street lamp comprising a street lamp socket and an LED light source. The street lamp socket consists of an upper LED street lamp cover and an LED street lamp base. The upper LED street lamp cover is coated with powder material, and a plurality of projections are arranged on the upper LED street lamp cover.

[0005] In the array mode, a thermal conduction sheet is attached to the bottom of the LED street lamp holder. The upper LED street lamp holder cover and the lower base of the LED street lamp holder form a sealed cavity. The sealed cavity is filled with a thermal conduction fluid, and the LED light source is attached to the bottom of the LED street lamp holder. In the LED street lamp, the heat generated by the LED street lamp is conducted to the thermal conduction fluid through the thermal conduction sheet. The thermal conduction fluid transfers the heat to the surface of the upper LED street lamp holder cover in a circulating convection mode. The powder material coated on the surface releases the heat into the air through thermal radiation and conduction.

[0006] The aforementioned streetlights are switched on at times specified by an operator and then switched off again at a specific time. These specific times are usually changed twice a year. This results in the lights not working even when it is dark during the transition period from summer to winter or from winter to summer, or in the lights working even when it is light. Therefore, the required lighting output cannot be provided, or energy is wasted.

[0007] There is therefore a need for a new technology that can overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages. Definition of the invention:

[0008] This invention is a self-electric and energy-saving street lamp that can overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, characterized in that it can cover the energy it consumes from solar energy, save energy, and emit light according to the brightness of the environment.

[0009] Thanks to its solar cells, the invention can convert and store sunlight into electrical energy during the day and use this energy to illuminate the lamp at night. This allows it to store a large portion of its own electrical energy on sunny days. It can also turn the lamp on or off gradually depending on the ambient brightness, as detected by the photocell on the lamp. This achieves energy savings.

[0010] Thanks to the simple attachment of the components that comprise the invention, it is easy to install, and costs are also low thanks to the short assembly time. Furthermore, the invention has a robust structure. Description of the drawings:

[0011] The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in order that the features of the invention may be better understood and appreciated, but it is not intended to limit the invention to these particular embodiments. Rather, it is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents which may be included within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It is to be understood that the details shown are for the sole purpose of describing preferred embodiments of the present invention and are presented for the purpose of providing the most useful and easily understood description of both the embodiment of the methods, rules, and conceptual features of the invention. In these drawings; Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the system. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the system. Fig. Figure 3 is a detailed perspective view of the system. Fig. Figure 4 is a detailed perspective view of the system.

[0012] The figures which contribute to the understanding of the invention are numbered in the accompanying drawings and are listed below with their designations. Description of the reference list: 1. Mast body 2. Photocell 3. Solar cell 4. Lamp Description of the invention:

[0013] This invention comprises an inverted L-shaped mast body (1) containing the battery and the electrical parts, a photocell (2) arranged on the mast body (1) and measuring the intensity of the ambient light, a solar cell (3) positioned on the mast body (1) to receive sunlight and ensure the storage of solar energy, and a lamp (4) arranged at the end of the mast body (1) to illuminate the road.

[0014] The invention comprises a lamp (4) which gradually lights up depending on the light intensity detected by the photocell (2).

[0015] The invention comprises a solar cell (3) which extends on the mast body (1) in the form of a semicircular plate, so that the sun's rays fall vertically at all times of the day. Detailed description of the invention:

[0016] The parts of which the invention consists are essentially a mast body (1), a photocell (2), a solar cell (3) and a lamp (4).

[0017] There is an inverted L-shaped mast body (1). The mast body (1) contains the battery and the electrical parts. A photocell (2), which can measure the ambient light intensity, is attached to the mast body (1). The photocell (2) switches on the lamp (4) located at the end of the mast body (1) depending on the light intensity it detects. The energy required to operate the lamp (4) is provided by the solar cell (3) located on the mast body (1). The solar cell (3) converts the sunlight arriving during the day into electrical energy and stores it in the battery inside the mast body (1). The energy required to illuminate the lamp (4) is provided by the electrical energy stored in the battery.Thanks to the semicircular structure of the solar cell (3), the vertically incident rays ensure maximum energy generation, even when the sun is at different angles. On days when the sun is not visible much, the required electrical energy is supplied thanks to the grid connection of the mast body (1). QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
