[0022] Preferably, the rope is connected to a fixture at the lantern hanging place of the eaves via a second hook. The fixture at the lantern hanging place is a circular or semicircular hook fixed on the eaves, or other fixtures that can be used for hanging.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, the protective cover body 2 is an integrally formed structure.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, the bottom wall 21 has a plurality of through holes.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, the rope 4 is a steel rope. Example

[0026] The photovoltaic lantern hanging lifting device shell body 5 is hexagonal, with six grooves vertically arranged on the six faces of the shell body 5. The center of each groove face is provided with a wiring installation hole for passing the photovoltaic panel 11 wires. The photovoltaic panel 11 is embedded in the groove. The wires of the six photovoltaic panels 11 are connected in parallel and connected to the circuit board 17. The battery 7 is placed in the battery fixing bracket, and then the battery fixing bracket is connected and fixed to the back of the second middle frame 12. The motor 6 is connected and fixed to the back of the first middle frame 13. Then fix the cable reel 8 to the transmission shaft of the variable speed motor 6, fix one end of the two wire fixing posts 15 in the two axial holes of the first middle frame 13 respectively, and then fix the other end of the wire fixing post 15 to the two axial holes of the second middle frame 12. After completion, the second middle frame 12 and the first middle frame 13 are respectively connected and fixed to the bottom cover 10 and the top cover 9 by screws, and then the first hook 18 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the bottom cover 10. After completion, the fixed middle frame is installed into the shell body 5, and then the bottom cover 10 and the shell body 5 are fixed with screws.

After completion, fix the top cover 9 and the shell body 5 with screws.

[0027] During use, the first step is to release the wire rope from the reel in the equipment until the length reaches the hanging length between the ground and the eaves. Use a long pole to clamp one end of the wire rope released for hanging docking at the top, then lift the long pole, put the hanging loop of the wire rope on the expansion screw hook on the eaves, and then use the remote control to start the ascent. The lifting equipment retracts the wire rope and slowly rises, while pushing the one-way wire locker 3 to move toward the top of the eaves. The one-way wire locker 3 also pushes the protective cover body 2 to rise until the protective cover body 2 is raised to the top wall, forming a protective cover to completely cover the connection between the lantern hanging device of the eaves and the second hook 1. The installation is completed. At this time, the one-way wire locker 3 is locked with the wire rope to fix the protective cover body 2, and the connecting rope between the lantern hanging device and the second hook 1 is also straightened inside the protective cover, so that the lantern will not swing due to wind, causing the coil and the second hook 1 to fall off. When hanging a lantern, press and hold the remote control to start the descent. The device will release the line and descend after receiving the infrared signal. When the device drops to the appropriate position, release the remote control button to stop the descent and connect the lantern to the first hook 18 position of the device. After completion, start the rising button to rise the device. When the device rises to the appropriate position, release the remote control button to stop rising and complete the lantern hanging.
