[0030] The term “and / or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0031] Existing solar lamps are usually integrated structures, but the lifespan of the various electronic components in solar lamps varies greatly. When vulnerable electronic components such as batteries or control boards are damaged, the entire solar lamp can only be replaced, resulting in extremely high equipment maintenance costs and a significant waste of resources.

[0032] This application provides an equipment box mounting structure and lighting equipment to alleviate the difficulty in maintaining and replacing easily damaged electronic components in current solar lamps.

[0033] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 7 schematically illustrate the device enclosure mounting structure of the present application. The device enclosure mounting structure includes a housing 10, a box 20, and mounting components. The box 20 can house easily damaged electronic components, such as a lamp control board or a battery. The housing 10 has a hollow structure. In some embodiments, the housing 10 has a receiving cavity 11, within which the box 20 is located. The housing 10 provides protection for the box 20 and also enhances the product's appearance.

[0034] Referring to Figures 3, 5, and 6, the mounting assembly includes a slider 21 and a slide rail 12, which are detachably connected and slidably connected. In some embodiments, the end of the slide rail 12 is open, allowing the slider 21 to disengage from the end of the slide rail 12 when it slides to that end.

[0035] In some embodiments, the slide rail 12 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity 11, and the slider 21 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the housing 20. This allows the housing 20 to slide relative to the housing 10 via the slide rail 12 and the slider 21, so that the housing 20 can be received into the receiving cavity 11 of the housing 20, or the housing 20 can be removed from the receiving cavity 11. This facilitates the centralized replacement of vulnerable electronic components, and allows non-vulnerable structural components (such as the housing 10) to fully utilize their service life, thereby reducing the overall life cycle maintenance cost of the device.

[0036] In some embodiments, the slide rail 12 can also be disposed on the outer wall surface of the housing 20, and the slider 21 can be disposed on the inner wall surface of the receiving cavity. This can also achieve a sliding connection and a detachable connection between the housing 20 and the shell 10. When the slide rail 12 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the housing 20, the rigidity of the housing 20 can be increased, which can improve the protection effectiveness for vulnerable electronic components inside the housing 20.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, the slide rail 12 has a groove 122, and the slider 21 is slidably disposed in the groove 122. The width of the cross-section of the slider 21 is greater than the width of the opening of the groove 122, which makes the slider 21 unable to disengage from the opening of the groove 122, and the slider 21 can only slide along the extension direction of the slide rail 12.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting assembly further includes an adjusting component 30, through which the housing 20 is connected to the slider 21. The two ends of the adjusting component 30 are movably connected to the housing 20 and the slider 21, respectively. The adjusting component 30 is configured to adjust the distance between the inner wall surface of the slide rail 12 and the slider 21. The adjusting component 30 can be a screw; the distance between the housing 20 and the slider 21 can be adjusted by turning the screw with a screwdriver. When the distance between the slider 21 and the housing 20 decreases, the slider 21 moves closer to the opening of the groove 122 and gradually presses against the inner wall surface of the groove 122, thereby locking the sliding between the slider 21 and the slide rail 12. This achieves the locking of the relative position between the housing 20 and the casing 10, preventing the housing 20 from accidentally detaching from the receiving cavity 11. When the distance between the slider 21 and the housing 20 increases, the slider 21 and the slide rail 12 can slide freely relative to each other, allowing installation and maintenance personnel to remove the housing 20 from the receiving cavity 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the housing 10 is provided with a solar panel 13, which can convert sunlight into electrical energy to power the lamps. In some embodiments, the equipment box mounting structure of this application also includes a base 40, which can be mounted on an existing lamp post. The base 40 is rotatably connected to the housing 10, which allows the housing 10 to swing relative to the lamp post, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the solar panel 13. Installation and maintenance personnel can use this structure to swing the solar panel 13 to the optimal receiving angle, improving the utilization rate of solar energy. In some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with an adjustment plate 141, which is rotatably connected to the base 40. The adjustment plate 141 is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes 141a arranged along an arc. The base 40 is movably provided with a positioning post 41, which passes through one of the adjustment holes 141a, allowing the housing 10 and the base 40 to be maintained at a specific angle.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3, the housing 10 includes a bottom plate 14 and two side plates 15. The two side plates 15 are respectively connected to the two sides of the bottom plate 14, and the side plates 15 and the bottom plate 14 are inclined relative to each other, so that the cross-section of the housing 10 is U-shaped. A slide rail 12 is provided on the inner wall surface of the bottom plate 14, and an adjustment plate 141 is provided on the outer wall surface of the bottom plate 14. The two sides of the solar panel 13 are respectively connected to the two side plates 15. The solar panel 13, the bottom plate 14, and the two side plates 15 together form a receiving cavity 11. The solar panel 13 can not only form the receiving cavity 11, but also shield the housing 20 from sunlight and rain. In some embodiments, the solar panel 13 has a cuboid structure, the extension direction of the slide rail 12 is parallel to the length direction of the solar panel 13, and the rotation axis between the adjustment plate 141 and the base 40 can be set to be perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide rail 12. When the solar panel 13 has a certain angle with the horizontal plane, the extension direction of the slide rail 12 also has a certain angle with the horizontal plane. The box 20 will tend to slide relative to the slide rail 12 under the action of gravity, which makes it convenient for installation and maintenance personnel to put the box 20 into or take out the receiving cavity 11.

[0041] In some embodiments, to ensure the housing 20 remains stably positioned after being installed into the receiving cavity 11, the device housing mounting structure of this application further includes a limiting component. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the limiting component includes a limiting pin 22 and a limiting hole 16 that are interlocked. One of the limiting pin 22 and the limiting hole 16 is located on the housing 20, and the other is located on the housing 10. The limiting pin 22 and the limiting hole 16 restrict relative movement between the housing 20 and the housing 10. In some embodiments, the limiting pin 22 is slidably located on the housing 20, and the limiting hole 16 is formed on the housing 10. The limiting pin 22 passes through the limiting hole 16 to lock relative movement between the housing 20 and the housing 10, and the limiting pin 22 exits the limiting hole 16 to unlock the housing 20 and the housing 10.

[0042] Of course, in some embodiments, an elastic element, such as a spring, can be provided between the limiting pin 22 and the housing 20. Under the elastic force of the elastic element, the limiting pin 22 tends to move toward the limiting hole 16. When the housing 20 is slowly pushed into the receiving cavity 11 until the housing 20 is in the ideal installation position, the limiting pin 22 and the limiting hole 16 are aligned, and the limiting pin 22 automatically passes into the limiting hole 16 under the elastic force of the elastic element. A pull ring can be provided on the limiting pin 22 so that the installation and maintenance personnel can pull the pull ring to force the limiting pin 22 out of the limiting hole 16.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, to facilitate the placement of the housing 20 into the receiving cavity 11, the ends of the slide rails 12 are provided with guide plates 121 inclined to the slide rails 12. Each slide rail 12 has two oppositely arranged guide plates 121 at its end. The two guide plates 121 are axially symmetrically arranged along the extension direction of the slide rail 12. During the process of the slider 21 being inserted into the guide rail, the slider 21 first touches the guide plate 121, and the guide plate 121 guides the slider 21 to gradually enter the end of the slide rail 12. The base plate 14 is provided with two parallel slide rails 12, which can restrict the degree of freedom of the housing 20. One end of the slide rail 12 is provided with a guide plate 121, and the other end is a closed structure to prevent the housing 20 from accidentally detaching from the slide rail 12 from this end.

[0044] In addition, in some embodiments, the end of the housing 20 is provided with a handle 23, which makes it easy for installation and maintenance personnel to hold and lift the housing 20.

[0045] Referring to Figures 1 and 7, this application embodiment also provides a lighting device. The lighting device includes a light-emitting device 50 and a device housing mounting structure as described above. The light-emitting device 50 is rotatably connected to the housing 10. The light-emitting device 50 is used for emitting light and illumination, and the rotatable connection between the two allows adjustment of the illumination angle of the light-emitting device 50.

[0046] When a solar panel 13 is provided on the housing 10, the light-emitting device 50 is rotatably connected to the solar panel 13, and the rotation axis between the light-emitting device 50 and the solar panel 13 is parallel to the rotation axis between the housing 10 and the base 40. Especially when the solar panel 13 is arranged at an angle to the horizontal plane, the light-emitting device 50 can also swing relative to the solar panel 13 to ensure that the light-emitting device 50 can swing to a more ideal illumination angle.

[0047] In summary, the housing 10 has a receiving cavity 11 for accommodating the box 20. The box 20 and the receiving cavity 11 are connected by a slider 21 and a slide rail 12. The slider 21 and the slide rail 12 are detachably connected, which makes it easier for the box 20 to slide out of the receiving cavity 11. The box 20 is used to house easily damaged electronic components, so as to facilitate the quick replacement of easily damaged electronic components and allow non-easily damaged structural components and other parts to fully utilize their service life. This reduces the overall life cycle maintenance cost of the equipment and helps to improve the market competitiveness of the product.
