[0038] 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the support plate 100 includes a first plate portion 100a extending along a first direction and a second plate portion 100b extending along a second direction, and the first plate portion 100a and the second plate portion 100b both have a certain width in the third direction, and the first plate portion 100a and the second plate portion 100b are arranged at an angle α, and the value range of α is 80° to 100°. Preferably, the first plate portion 100a and the second plate portion 100b are arranged at an angle of 90°, that is, the first plate portion 100a and the second plate portion 100b are arranged perpendicularly. At this time, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction in FIG. 1 respectively constitute the Z-axis, X-axis and Y-axis directions of the coordinate system. Correspondingly, the first direction constitutes the height direction of the box body component, and the second direction constitutes the width direction of the box body component, that is, the first plate portion 100a extends along the height direction of the box body component, and the second plate portion 100b extends along the width direction of the box body component. Returning to FIG. 1 and 2,Continuing to describe the support plate 100, the second plate portion 100b has a first section 101 and a second section 102 on both sides in the first direction, that is, the first section 101 and the second section 102 are separated by the second plate portion 100b and constitute the upper and lower sections of the second plate portion 100b, and the second section 102 is jointly defined by the first plate portion 100a and the second plate portion 100b. In this embodiment, the first section 101 and the second section 102 constitute the accommodating sections of the auxiliary component 400 (such as a transformer for converting external 220V electricity into 24V electricity 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 in the first section 101 and the second section 102, and the box body component or the support plate 100 is used as their mounting carrier to realize the assembly of the signal light module. In some embodiments, the control component is assembled on the second plate portion 100b and is arranged away from the first plate portion 100a in the second direction. The signal lamp body 200 is disposed within the first section 101 and the second section 102 and is positioned adjacent to the second plate portion 100b in the second direction. Correspondingly, the auxiliary assembly 400 is assembled on the first plate portion 100a and located within the second section 102. This arrangement not only fully utilizes the space within the housing, ensuring maximum space utilization, but also spatially separates the control assembly, auxiliary assembly 400, and signal lamp body 200, facilitating the arrangement of connecting cables for various components of the signal lamp module, thereby achieving integrated operation of the signal lamp module. In some embodiments, the support plate 100 is provided with a mounting hole group 103 and a binding hole group 104. The mounting hole group 103 is used to cooperate with mounting structures (e.g., threaded holes) and fasteners (e.g., screws) on the control assembly and auxiliary assembly 400 to achieve installation of the control assembly and auxiliary assembly 400. The binding hole group 104 is used to secure the connecting cables between the control assembly, auxiliary assembly 400, and signal lamp body 200, facilitating subsequent maintenance operations.

When the signal lamp body 200 is assembled, the light panel member 203 and the lens member 204 enter the first assembly interval 202 through the opening of the housing member 201. 2 and then fixed by fasteners (such as screws) to complete the assembly of the signal lamp body 200. In some examples, a plurality of mounting lugs 205 are formed on the side wall portion 201b of the shell member 201, and the plurality of mounting lugs 205 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. Correspondingly, an avoidance groove is formed on the light board member 203 to allow the light board member 203 to enter the first assembly interval 202, and threaded holes are provided on the lens member 204 and the mounting lugs 205. The positioning of the light board component and the lens member 204 is achieved through the position of the screw holes and the avoidance grooves, and the light board component and the lens member 204 are fastened by screws. The firmware realizes the connection between the lens component 204 and the shell component 201, thereby realizing the assembly of the signal lamp body 200. Returning to FIG3 , the signal lamp body 200 is further described. The light board component 203 is provided with a plurality of LED light sources distributed in a honeycomb shape, and the position of a single LED light source corresponds to the raised point on the lens component 204, so as to focus the light emitted by the LED light source on one point, so as to improve the brightness and clarity of the signal lamp body 200. Furthermore, the light board component is also equipped with at least one light intensity detection component 206 (such as a light sensor) for detecting the intensity of the light. The overall light intensity of each LED light source is monitored and the monitoring data is transmitted to the control component accordingly. The control component stores a set value of the light intensity. When the real-time monitoring value of the light intensity is less than the set value of the light intensity, the control component can send a control instruction to the external device. The control instruction at least sends an alarm message to improve the safety of the signal lamp body 200. In some examples, the above-mentioned light intensity detection components 206 are provided in plurality and are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. At this time, the real-time monitoring data used for comparison with the set value is constituted by the average value of the real-time monitoring data of multiple light intensity detection components 206.

[0040] 1 and 2, the control assembly includes at least one control structure 300. The main body of the single control structure 300 is composed of a frame member 302 and a control member 301.
