     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     In order to make objectives, technical details and advantages of the present disclosure clear, the technical solutions of the present disclosure are described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with examples of the present disclosure and corresponding drawings. Apparently, the described examples are just a part but not all of the examples of the present disclosure. Based on the examples described in the present disclosure, those ordinary skilled in the art can obtain all other example(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the present disclosure. 
     The terminology used in the present disclosure is for the purpose of describing exemplary examples only and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. As used in the present disclosure and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It shall also be understood that the terms “or” and “and/or” used herein are intended to signify and include any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. 
     It shall be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” and the like may be used herein to describe various information, the information should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one category of information from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, first information may be termed as second information; and similarly, second information may also be termed as first information. As used herein, the term “if” may be understood to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to” depending on the context. 
     The technical solutions provided by the examples of the present disclosure are described in details below in conjunction with the drawings. 
     The reference numerals referred in this disclosure include: 
       100 —base,  101 —side wall,  102 —bottom wall,  200 —cover,  300 —lighting module,  310 —light source module,  311 —light source substrate,  3111 —light source element,  312 —rotatable support,  313 —rotation shaft,  314 —through hole,  315 —handle pulling member,  320 —driving power source,  330 —sensor,  340 —inverter,  350 —wiring terminal,  360 —adapter connector,  370 —battery,  400 —press-locking mechanism,  410 —buckle,  420 —snap-fitting slot,  500 —receiving chamber,  600 —positioning mechanism,  700 —positioning bracket,  800 —snap-fitting block,  801 —pillar,  802 —protrusion,  900 —sealing ring,  1000 —housing. 
     Sometimes, a light source module and a lamp housing of the lighting device are fixedly connected by screws, and both the installation and disassembly are very troublesome. Especially, for waterproof wall lamps installed with functional control modules, they need to be fixed to the wall with screws during construction. After the installation is completed, a light source board is opened by removing the screws, and the functional control modules are adjusted. After adjustment, the removed screws are installed to the waterproof wall lamps, again. This process includes repetitive works, which wastes time and manpower and involves the problem that the installation and removal are troublesome. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  1   , a lighting device provided by an example of the present disclosure includes: a base  100 , a cover  200 , a lighting module  300 , and at least one press-locking mechanism  400 . The cover  200  is disposed on the base  100 ; a receiving chamber  500  is formed between the cover  200  and the base  100 ; and the lighting module  300  is disposed in the receiving chamber  500 . One end of the press-locking mechanism  400  is disposed on the cover  200 , and the other end of the press-locking mechanism  400  is rotatably locked on the base  100 . The press-locking mechanism is used for detachably connecting the cover  200  with the base  100 . In another example of the present disclosure, one end of the press-locking mechanism  400  may be provided on the base  100 , and the other end of the press-locking mechanism  400  may be rotatably locked on the cover  200 . During installation, the cover  200  and the base  100  are connected through the press-locking mechanism  400 ; and during disassembly, one end of the press-locking mechanism  400  is detached from the cover  200  or detached from the base  100  so as to achieve the purpose of separating and disassembling the cover  200  from the base  100 . In this way, the installation and disassembly are easier to be achieved, thereby improving the work efficiency and reducing the labor cost. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  2    to  FIG.  7   , in an example of the present disclosure, the press-locking mechanism  400  includes a buckle  410  and a snap-fitting slot  420 , one end of the buckle  410  is rotatably disposed on the base  100 , and the snap-fitting slot  420  is disposed on the cover  200 . The cover  200  is configured to be mounted on the base  100  by snap-fitting the other end of the buckle  410  in the snap-fitting slot  420 ; and the cover  200  is configured to be detached from the base  100  by disengaging the buckle  410  from the snap-fitting slot  420  through rotating the buckle  410 . The present disclosure realizes a sealing effect through the cooperative use of the buckle and the snap-fitting slot  420 , and the structure is simple. The buckle  410  of the present disclosure may adopt a spring clamp structure. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, the buckle  410  is evenly arranged on the cover  200  along a circumferential structure of the cover  200 ; or the buckle  410  is evenly arranged on the base  100  along a circumferential structure of the base  100 . In an example of the present disclosure, four press-locking mechanisms  400  are provided, and are symmetrically arranged. This structure allows the base  100  and the cover  200  to be more tightly connected, and allows the base  100  and the cover  200  to be evenly stressed. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  8   , in an example of the present disclosure, the lighting device further includes at least one positioning mechanism  600  provided between two adjacent press-locking mechanisms  400 , and the positioning mechanism  600  is used for positioning the cover  200  and the base  100  so that the installation of the cover  200  and base  100  is easier to be achieved. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  9   , in an example of the present disclosure, a positioning bracket  700  is provided on the cover  200  or on the base  100 . The positioning mechanism  600  as illustrated in  FIG.  8    is a connecting member, the positioning bracket  700  is disposed on the cover  200 , one end of the connecting member is connected to the positioning bracket  700  and the other end of the connecting member is connected to the base  100  correspondingly. In an example of the present disclosure, the positioning bracket  700  and the cover  200  are integrally formed, and the positioning bracket  700  is provided with a positioning hole, so that the positioning mechanism  600  can penetrate the positioning hole to be connected with the positioning hole. In another example of the present disclosure, the positioning bracket  700  is disposed on the base  100 , one end of the connecting member is connected to the positioning bracket  700  and the other end of the connecting member is correspondingly connected to the cover  200 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  8   , in an example of the present disclosure, the lighting module  300  includes a light source module  310  and a driving power source  320 . As illustrated in  FIG.  10    and  FIG.  11   , the light source module  310  is rotatably disposed on a side wall  101  of the base  100 , the driving power source  320  is disposed in the receiving chamber  500 , and the light source module  310  is connected with the driving power source  320 . In another example of the present disclosure, the light source module  310  is disposed on the side wall  101  of the base  100  through fixing members such as screws. The light source module  310  is opened or closed by rotating the light source module  310 , which is convenient for adjusting a functional structure in the base  100  with the advantages of easy disassembly and installation, and the operation is more convenient and faster. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  11   , in an example of the present disclosure, the light source module  310  includes a light source substrate  311  and a rotatable support  312 . One end of the rotatable support  312  is rotatably disposed on the side wall  101  of the base  100 , and the other end of the rotatable support  312  is snap-fitted with the side wall  101  of the base  100 . The light source substrate  311  is disposed on the rotatable support  312 . Because the light source substrate  311  is not suitable to be stressed, a rotatable support  312  is provided at an outer side of the light source substrate  311 , and the light source substrate  311  is opened by applying a force to the rotatable support  312 , which can effectively avoid a deformation of the light source substrate  311 , extend the service life, and achieve a better illuminating effect. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  12   , in an example of the present disclosure, along a direction from the cover  200  to the base  100 , the rotatable support  312  includes a stepped double-ring structure in which an inner ring is recessed; and the light source substrate  311  is disposed on the inner ring  3121  of the rotatable support  312 . In this application, the rotatable support  312  is configured as an internally recessed double-ring structure, and the inner ring  3121  serves to support the light source substrate  311 ; in this way, it further prevents from a deformation of the light source substrate  311 , and a connection between the rotatable support  312  and the light source substrate  311  is more stable. In an example of the present disclosure, a plurality of light source elements  3111  is provided on the light source substrate  311 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  13    and  FIG.  14   , in an example of the present disclosure, the rotatable support  312  is disposed on the side wall  101  of the base  100  through a rotation shaft  313  as illustrated in  FIG.  8   ; a snap-fitting block  800  is provided on the side wall  101  of the base  100  opposite to the rotation shaft  313  as illustrated in  FIG.  8   ; a through hole  314  is provided on the rotatable support  312 ; and the snap-fitting block  800  is snap-fitted in the through hole  314 . In this application, when the rotatable support  312  and the base  100  are in a closed state, the rotatable support  312  is blocked and stopped by the snap-fitting block  800  through the cooperation between the snap-fitting block  800  and the through hole  314 , thus the rotatable support  312  will not be detached from the base  100 , and the connection between the rotatable support  312  and the base  100  is more stable; furthermore, the rotatable support  312  is in a flat state, which reduces a curved radian of the rotatable support  312  when it&#39;s bent and allows the light source substrate  311  to be in a better working state. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, the snap-fitting block  800  has an elastic structure. By providing the snap-fitting block  800  as an elastic structure, in the case where the rotatable support  312  needs to be adjusted from a closed state with respect to the base  100  as illustrated in  FIG.  10    to an opened state with respect to the base  100  as illustrated in  FIG.  11   , the snap-fitting block  800  may pass through the through hole  314  as illustrated in  FIG.  11    by pushing the snap-fitting block  800 , and then the rotatable support  312  may be opened with respect to the base  100  by rotating the rotation shaft  312  as illustrated in  FIG.  8    in the direction from the base  100  to the cover  200 , thus the arrangement is more scientific and the operation is easier. In an example of the present disclosure, two snap-fitting blocks  800  are provided, thus the arrangement is more symmetrical, and the connection is more stable. As illustrated in  FIG.  15    and  FIG.  16   , the snap-fitting block  800  includes a pillar  801  and a protrusion  802 ; one end of the pillar  801  is disposed on a bottom wall  102  of the base  100 ; the protrusion  802  is connected to the pillar  801  and is perpendicular to the pillar  801 ; a bottom surface  803  of the protrusion  802  is slightly higher than the through hole  314 ; and the rotatable support  312  is snap-fitted with the base  100  through the protrusion  802 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  14   , in an example of the present disclosure, a handle pulling member  315  is provided on the rotatable support  312 . In the present disclosure, when the rotatable support  312  needs to be adjusted from a closed state to an opened state with respect to the base  100 , the rotatable support  312  can be opened more quickly by pulling the handle pulling member  315  upwards in a direction from the base  100  to the cover  200 . In an example of the present disclosure, the handle pulling member  315  is a columnar mechanism or an inverted U-shaped structure. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  5    and  FIG.  6   , in an example of the present disclosure, the lighting device further includes a sealing ring  900  disposed between the cover  200  and the base  100 , and the press-locking mechanism  400  presses against the sealing ring  900  to position the sealing ring  900  between the cover  200  and the base  100 . The sealing ring  900  is provided to improve the sealing effect of the lighting device so that the lighting device is more waterproof. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  1   , in an example of the present disclosure, the lighting device further includes a housing  1000  disposed outside the base  100  and the press-locking mechanism  400  to cover the base  100  and the press-locking mechanism  400  in a circumferential direction. By providing the housing  1000 , the press-locking mechanism  400  is hidden in the housing  1000 , and the appearance is more aesthetic. The housing  1000  may be connected to the base  100  through screw threads or snap-fitters. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  8   , in the present disclosure, a functional module can be provided according to the needs of functions.
