The first plate body part 100a and the second plate body part 100b are arranged at α, and the value of the α ranges from 80° to 100°. Preferably, the first plate body part 100a and the second plate body part 100b are arranged at an angle of 90°, that is, the first plate body part 100a and the second plate body part 100b are arranged vertically. At this time, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction in Fig. 1 are respectively configured as the Z-axis, X-axis and Y-axis directions of the coordinate system. Correspondingly, the first direction is configured as a height direction of the box body member, and the second direction is configured as a width direction of the box body member, that is, the first plate body part 100a extends along the height direction of the box body member and the second plate body part 100b extends along the width direction of the box body member. Returning to Figs. 1 and 2, continuing the description of the supporting plate body 100, the above-mentioned second plate body part 100b has a first section 101 and a second section 102 at both sides in the first direction, that is, the first section 101 and the second section 102 are separated by the second plate body part 100b and are configured as the upper and lower sections of the second plate body part 100b, and the second section 102 is jointly defined by the first plate body part 100a and the second plate body part 100b. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first section 101 and the second section 102 constitute the accommodation section of the auxiliary component 400 (such as a transformer, used to convert external 220V power into 24V power required by the signal light module), the control component and the signal light body 200 in the signal light module, that is, the auxiliary component 400, the control component and the signal light body 200 are arranged within the first section 101 and the second section 102, and the box body part or the supporting plate body 100 is used as its installation carrier to realize the assembly of the signal light module.

The signal light body 200 is arranged within the first section 101 and the second section 102, and is arranged adjacent to the second plate body part 100b in the second direction. Correspondingly, the above-mentioned auxiliary component 400 is assembled on the first plate body part 100a and is located within the second section 102. Through this arrangement, on the one hand, the space in the box body part can be fully utilized to ensure the maximization of space utilization; on the other hand, the control module, the auxiliary module 400 and the signal light body 200 can be separated in space, which is convenient for the arrangement of connecting cables in each part of the signal light module, thus realizing the integrated operation of the signal light module. In some embodiments, the supporting plate body 100 is provided with a mounting hole group 103 and a binding hole group 104, wherein the mounting hole group 103 is used to cooperate with the mounting structures (such as threaded holes) and fasteners (such as screws) on the control component and the auxiliary component 400 to realize the installation of the control component and the auxiliary component 400, and the binding hole group 104 is used to fix the connecting cables of the control component, the auxiliary component 400 and the signal light body 200, so as to facilitate the subsequent maintenance work.

In some examples, there are a plurality of the above-mentioned light intensity detection members 206, which are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction. At this time, the real-time monitored data used for comparison with the set value constitutes an average value of the real-time monitored data of the plurality of light intensity detection members 206.
