[0019] According to the Fig. Figures 1 to 8 illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present utility model.

[0020] In the solar outdoor light provided according to the present embodiment, the light comprises a housing 10 and a lighting component, wherein a housing chamber 80 is formed in the housing 10, wherein a battery 50 is arranged in the housing chamber 80, wherein a solar panel 20 is mounted on the housing 10, wherein the battery 50 is electrically connected to the solar panel 20 and the lighting component, wherein the solar panel 20 serves to charge the battery 50, and wherein the battery 50 supplies the lighting component with power.

[0021] Based on its independent power supply via solar energy, the solar outdoor light provided above consumes no conventional electricity, making it energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and resulting in low operating costs. There is no dependence on power lines, allowing for flexible installation regardless of geographical limitations. Furthermore, the simple and compact design and reliable component connections minimize the risk of failure and ensure stable, long-term illumination for outdoor areas such as yards and walkways.

[0022] The housing 10 includes a mounting surface on which the solar panel 20 is mounted. In this way, the solar panel 20 is installed on the upward-facing mounting surface of the housing 10 to ensure maximum absorption of sunlight from all sides, minimize shading effects, increase photoelectric conversion efficiency, and ensure sufficient energy storage for the battery 50.

[0023] In particular, the housing 10 is attached to a support by means of a connecting structure 1. The connecting structure 1 provides the housing 10 with a stable mounting method, which makes it possible to securely mount the luminaire to various supports such as walls, floors or columns in order to prevent displacement or tipping over due to wind forces or vibrations in outdoor areas.

[0024] In the present embodiment, the connection structure 1 comprises, with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4. At least one mounting hole 11, wherein the mounting hole 11 is located on the rear of the housing 10, and the housing 10 is attached to the support by means of a fastening element passing through the mounting hole 11. The rear of the housing 10 is provided with at least one mounting hole 11, which interacts with a fastening element for fixation. The mounting method is simple and user-friendly, the connection exhibits high strength, is compatible with wall structures, brackets, and other rigid supports, and allows for straightforward disassembly, which facilitates subsequent maintenance or repositioning.

[0025] Furthermore, a large number of connecting holes 12 are arranged on the back of the housing, the connecting holes 12 being used for mounting and fitting the housing.

[0026] In the present embodiment, the connection structure 1 comprises, with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 6. A mounting pin 30 is connected to the housing 10, the base of which tapers to a point for insertion into the substrate. The tapered design at the bottom of the mounting pin 30 allows it to be inserted directly into soft substrates such as soil or turf, enabling quick and efficient installation. This is particularly suitable for outdoor areas such as gardens and green spaces, as the fastening is flexible and does not damage the substrate surface.

[0027] In particular, the insertion pin 30 is pivotably connected to the housing 10 relative to each other, and a coaxially arranged pivot bore is provided at the pivot connection between the insertion pin 30 and the housing 10. A locking axis 31, equipped with a handle, is inserted in the pivot bore, the locking axis 31 engaging with the pivot bore in a threaded manner. The locking axis 31 can be axially locked by rotating the handle, thereby fixing the relative position of the insertion pin 30 to the housing 10. The hinge design allows the tilt angle of the housing 10 to be flexibly adjusted, thus adapting the angle of incidence of the solar panel 20 and the direction of illumination of the lighting component. This enables adaptation to different light and lighting requirements in various scenarios.Once tightened, the position is stably fixed and no angular deviation occurs due to external forces.

[0028] A thread is provided on the upper side of the locking shaft 31, which engages with the hinge hole. After adjusting the tilt angle, the locking shaft 31 is secured in the hinge hole by the thread. A nut 310 is then placed on the end of the locking shaft 31 to provide further fixation.

[0029] In the housing chamber 80 a mainboard 51 is arranged, the mainboard 51 being electrically connected to the solar panel 20, the battery 50 and the lighting component.

[0030] Furthermore, a charge management chip and a discharge control chip are integrated on the mainboard 51. The charge management chip is electrically connected to the solar panel 20 and the battery 50, while the discharge control chip is electrically connected to the battery 50 and the lighting component. In this way, the charging process of the solar panel 20 to the battery 50 and the discharge process of the battery 50 to the lighting component can be precisely controlled, effectively extending the lifespan of the battery 50, preventing circuit overload, and improving the overall operational stability and safety of the light.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the lighting component comprises, with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4. A light panel 70 is arranged in the housing chamber 80, wherein several light-emitting diode chips 71 are arranged on the light panel 70, the light-emitting diode chips 71 being electrically connected to the battery 50. The light-emitting diode chips 71 are arranged densely in the housing chamber 80 so that the light can exit through the translucent surface in a concentrated manner. This results in high illuminance and uniform distribution, thus avoiding insufficient illumination due to light scattering. At the same time, the housing chamber 80 protects the light-emitting diode chips 71 from external influences such as dust and moisture, thereby extending their service life.

[0032] A translucent luminous surface is arranged on the housing 10, with the light-emitting diode chip 71 being oriented towards the luminous surface.

[0033] In the present embodiment, the lighting component comprises, with reference to Fig. 5 to Fig.8 A flexible light strip 40, with light sources 41 arranged on the light strip 40. This allows the flexible light strip 40, in combination with the spaced-out light sources 41, to be flexibly adapted to different installation requirements in outdoor areas such as garden fences or walkway edges, in order to achieve targeted lighting. A stable power supply is provided via cables and a battery 50, thus maintaining both the flexibility of the arrangement and ensuring the duration of illumination.

[0034] Several light sources 41 are provided, wherein the light sources 41 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the light band 40.

[0035] When light is present and the voltage generated by the solar panel 20 exceeds the set threshold, the main board 51 in the control circuit controls the transistor so that the charging circuit is conducting and the discharging circuit is off. The electrical energy is transferred via a one-way diode and charged via a charge management chip to the battery 50 located in the housing chamber 80. When the light fades and the voltage generated by the solar panel 20 falls below the set threshold, the transistor switches in reverse, the charging circuit is opened and the discharging circuit is opened, so that the battery 50 takes over the power supply and illuminates the LED chip 71 or the light source 41.

[0036] A sensor 60 is attached to the housing 10. When triggered, the sensor 60 transmits a signal to the lighting component. This enables intelligent control, automatically switching the light on when someone enters and off when they leave, without the need for manual switches, thus allowing for more convenient use. At the same time, unnecessary lighting during periods of absence is avoided, reducing battery consumption and extending operating time.

[0037] A light sensor element 81 is also mounted on the housing 10; the light sensor element 81 serves to detect the ambient light intensity. The light sensor element 81 can be a light intensity sensor, a light-sensitive resistor, or the like. The light component then begins to illuminate as soon as the ambient light intensity falls below the set brightness.

[0038] The sensor 60 detects a person's approach and activates the lighting component. This enables intelligent control, automatically switching the light on when entering and off when leaving, eliminating the need for manual switches and allowing for more convenient use. Simultaneously, it prevents unnecessary lighting during periods of absence, thus reducing battery consumption and extending operating time.

[0039] Operating procedure: The locking axis 31 is rotated through the mounting hole 11 on the back of the housing 10 in combination with the fastening element, or by inserting the pointed insertion pin 30 at the bottom into the support. This secures the housing 10 and adjusts the tilt angle so that the upward-facing mounting surface of the solar panel 20 efficiently absorbs sunlight. The battery 50 located in the housing chamber 80 is charged via the charge management chip on the main board 51. When the light sensor element 81 detects an ambient light intensity below a preset value, or the sensor 60 registers the approach of a person, the discharge control chip activates the LED chips 71 of the light panel 70 or the light sources 41 of the flexible light strip 40.Depending on the application scenario, various modes can be selected, such as continuous light at night, activation by person approach, activation by person approach with increasing brightness, or automatic on / off switching based on light intensity, thus eliminating the need for manual operation to meet the requirements of intelligent outdoor lighting. After use, the installation remains fixed, and the solar panel 20 continuously supplies the battery 50 with energy for cyclical use.

[0040] In particular, the sensor 60 can be an infrared pyroelectric sensor 60 or a microwave radar sensor 60.

[0041] The above-mentioned are merely improved embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model, and all modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made in accordance with the spirit and principles of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
