To eliminate the disadvantages in the prior art, the inventor has put a lot of effort into the subject and has successfully come up with the outdoor light unit of the present invention.
An object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor light unit whose angle may be adjusted according to the actual need.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor light unit that can be used to provide illumination to darker places to enhance the safety of people and to prevent thefts.
To reach these objects, the outdoor light unit of the present invention is disclosed. The outdoor light unit of the present invention comprises a casing, a seat potion, a light portion and a cover portion. A hollow space is provided in the casing to hold the seat potion. A hollow space is provided in the seat potion and a through hole is provided on either wall of the seat potion. The light portion may be fitted in the hollow space of the seat potion. A rotation shaft is provided on either side wall of the light portion and either rotation shaft may be aligned and engage with the corresponding through hole of the seat potion. Therefore, the angle of the light portion may be adjusted. Last, the cover portion may be fitted to the underside of the seat potion to hold the light portion in the outdoor light unit. The outdoor light unit of the present invention is formed with the above components. Therefore, a user can adjust the angle of the outdoor light unit.
FIG. 1A is an exploded view of the outdoor light unit of the present invention.
FIG. 1B is a partially exploded view of the outdoor light unit of the present invention.
FIG. 1C is a perspective view of the outdoor light unit of the present invention in an assembled condition.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the outdoor light unit of the present invention.
FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C illustrate how the outdoor light unit of the present invention is put together and used.
Please see FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C and 2, which are several views of the outdoor light unit of the present invention. The outdoor light unit of the present invention comprises a casing 1, a seat potion 2, a light portion 3 and a cover portion 4.
A hollow space 11 is provided in the casing 1. A hollow space 21 is provided in the seat potion 2. An engagement slot 211 is provided on the either side of the hollow space 21. A through hole 22 is provided on either wall of the seat potion 2. One or more dented parts 221 are circularly provided on either through hole 22. A protrusion part 23 is provided on either side of the lower portion of the seat potion 2. The seat potion 2 is fitted in the hollow space 11 of the casing 1 by pressing against the two protrusion parts 23.
More than one heat dissipating hole 31 is provided in the light portion 3. A rotation shaft 32 is provided on either side wall of the light portion 3. Either rotation shaft 32 may be aligned with the corresponding through hole 22 of the seat potion 2. At least one protrusion 321 is circularly disposed on either rotation shaft 32. A plate 33 is provided at the lower portion of the light portion 3. One or more light emitting units 34 are fitted to the underside of the plate 33. A heat dissipating module 35 is disposed inside the light portion 3 and above the plate 33. A power supply unit 36 is disposed at an appropriate location inside the light portion 3 to provide electricity to the light emitting units 34. The light portion 3 is fitted in the hollow space 21 of the seat potion 2 with the two rotation shafts 32 engaging with the two through holes 22 of the seat potion 2. The heat dissipating module 35 may consist of a fin-shaped heat dissipating part 351 and a fan 352. The light emitting units 34 may be LEDs or OLEDs.
A protrusion part 41 extends out of either side of the cover portion 4. The two protrusion parts 41 may be aligned and engage with the two engagement slots 211 of the seat potion 2 as the cover portion 4 is fitted to the seat potion 2.
The outdoor light unit of the present invention is formed with the above components.
Please see FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C, which illustrate how the outdoor light unit of the present invention is put together and used. The two rotation shafts 32 engage with the two through holes 22 of the seat potion 2 and dented parts 241 of the two through holes 22 engage with the protrusions 321 of the two rotation shafts 32. Therefore, the angle of the seat potion 2 and light portion 3 may be adjusted. Also, the heat dissipating module 35 may quickly dissipate the heat generated by the light emitting units 34 of the light portion 3 to avoid overheating.
In addition, the two rotation shafts 32 may switch their positions with the two through holes 22 of the seat potion 2 and the function of angle adjustability may still be maintained.
