Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent drainage of water into the underground portion of a pole, corrosion and insulation deterioration of parts by splitting the pole into the upper and lower poles around the underground portion to provide a drain hole therein. CONSTITUTION:Water entering from the fitting portion 14 in which a groove 10 is mounted into the upper pole 2U is drained from a hole 12 through a gap 13 to the outside. A supporting frame 4 is provided on the lower pole 2D via a packing 3 to prevent the drainage into the surface of the underground portion GL of the lower pole 2D. The supporting frame 4 and a socket mounting plate 7 is formed in a conical shape to drain water to the outside. If a ballast has water condensation water falls off the slope of the supporting frame 4 and drains from the hole 12 to the outside, instead of the surface of the underground portion GL of the lower pole 2D. If moisture occurs on the surface of the underground portion GL, it is shut off by the supporting frame 4 to prevent the failure of the ballast 6, corrosion and insulation deterioration of parts.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an outdoor light installed in a garden or a street light, for example.

(Prior Art) A conventional outdoor light includes a pole installed deep underground. This pole is not divided but integrated,
Furthermore, a stabilizer is attached to a part of the inner peripheral surface of the lower part of the pole, and a plate for attaching a socket is provided in the upper part of the pole.

For this socket installation, a socket for mounting a lamp is attached to the plate. To further protect the lamp, a glove is attached to the top of the pole.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in the conventional outdoor light as described above, if the glove is attached to the top of the pole, for example, when it rains, water will seep into the ball and cause it to leak into the ground. Water may collect in the area. Also, the ballast may condense and the water may collect deep underground inside the pole.

When water accumulates deep underground inside the ball, the moisture flows upward as the outside temperature rises, causing problems such as failure of the ballast, corrosion of various parts, and even deterioration of the insulation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor light that prevents water from being discharged into the geographical area within the ball, thereby preventing corrosion of various parts and insulation deterioration, in order to improve the above-mentioned problems.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention divides the ball into a lower ball and an upper pole near the geographical part, and forms a drainage hole near the lower end of the upper ball, The divided parts are joined with a gasket, and a support frame is provided on the gasket to prevent water from draining from the inside of the upper ball to the bottom ball, and a stabilizer is attached to the pillar erected on this support frame. A socket with a lamp attached was attached to the top of the support via a socket mounting plate, and a glove to protect the lamp was attached to the upper boat to form an outdoor light.

(Function) By adopting the outdoor light of this invention, even if water intrudes into the inside of the upper pole when the upper pole is attached with a glove, the water drain hole formed near the bottom of the upper pole will prevent water from entering the upper pole. The water is discharged to the outside.

Furthermore, even if the ballast becomes condensed, water will fall onto the support frame and be drained to the outside through the drain holes.

Therefore, water does not accumulate in the geographical area within the lower ball, and even if moisture is generated due to slightly accumulated water in other areas, this moisture is blocked by the support frame and the stabilizer Since it is not transmitted to other parts, there are fewer ballast failures, corrosion of each part is eliminated, and insulation deterioration is also prevented.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the outdoor light 1 is installed upright in the geographical area GL and includes a ball 2 extending in the vertical direction. This ball 2 is divided into an upper pole 2U and a lower ball 2D near the geographic section GL.

A gasket 3 is inserted into this divided portion from the inside, and the upper pole 2U and lower ball 2D are joined. For example, by applying an adhesive to the upper and lower surfaces of this gasket 3 and joining it to the upper pole 2U and lower pole 2D, the joint can be made even stronger.

A conical support frame 4 is provided on the inner surface of the packing 3. By providing this support frame 4, water will not fall from inside the upper ball 2U into the lower ball 2D. A plurality of columns 5 are erected on this support frame 4 at appropriate intervals. A stabilizer 6 is attached to the column 5, and a conical socket mounting plate 7 is attached to the upper part of the column 5.

A socket 8 is provided on the upper surface of this socket mounting plate 7. Moreover, an HD clamp is removably attached to the socket 8. The upper pole 2
A cylindrical globe 10 made of glass or resin, for example, is attached to the upper surface of the U. Moreover, this glove 1
A reflecting plate 11 is provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the 0. Also,
The ballast 6 and the socket 8 are electrically connected, and the ballast 6 is connected to a switch via a connection line (not shown).

With the above configuration, when the switch is turned on, the ballast 6,
The HD clamp is turned on through the socket 8, and the globe 10 illuminates, for example, a garden or a street through the reflector 11.

A plurality of drain holes 12 are formed at appropriate intervals on the outer peripheral surface near the lower end of the upper pole 2U, and
A slight gap 13 is formed between the outer circumference of the socket mounting plate 7 and the inner surface of the upper pole 2U.

With the above configuration, the glove 10 is placed on the top of the upper pole 2U.
For example, when it rains from the mounting part 14 to which the
Even if water infiltrates into the upper ball 2U, this water will
The water can be discharged to the outside from the drain hole 12 through the drain hole 12. Moreover, since the support frame 4 is provided in the lower hole 2D via the gasket 3, the water can be removed from the lower hole 2D.
It is never discharged to the surface of the deep underground GL. Moreover, since the support frame 4 and the socket mounting plate 7 are conical, the effect of flowing water outward can be enhanced.

Further, even when the stabilizer 6 is dew-condensed, water falls from the inclined surface of the support frame 4 and is discharged from the drain hole 12 to the outside, and is discharged to the surface of the oil deep part GL in the lower ball 2D. There is no.

Therefore, water hardly accumulates on the surface of the oil deep part GL in the lower ball 2D. Even if water accumulates slightly more on the surface of the deep oil part GL than in other parts and moisture is generated due to the outside temperature, this moisture is blocked by the support frame 4 and does not rise upward. Therefore, failure of the ballast 6 is eliminated, corrosion of each component is also eliminated, and further insulation deterioration can be prevented.

Even if the upper ball 2U swings from side to side or back and forth due to vibration, the inner surface of the upper ball 2U is supported by the outer peripheral surface of the socket mounting plate 7, so that the upper ball 2U
It's not like it's going to fall over.

Note that this invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented in other forms by making appropriate changes. For example, in this embodiment, the glove 10 is attached to the upper surface of the upper ball 2U, but the height of the upper ball 2U may be lowered and the glove 10 may be attached to the portion that covers the HD clamp. I don't mind.

Although the gap 13 is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the socket mounting plate 7 and the inner peripheral surface of the upper ball 2U, the socket mounting plate 7 is made into a rectangular plate.
It is also possible to contact the axial center of the upper ball 2U and provide a gap around it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As can be understood from the above description of the embodiments, according to the present invention, even if water infiltrates into the inside of the upper ball from the attachment part where the glove is attached to the upper ball, water is prevented from forming near the lower end of the upper ball. The water is drained outside from the drain hole. Furthermore, even if water falls due to condensation on the ballast, it will flow through the support frame toward the drain hole and be drained to the outside through the drain hole.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for water to accumulate in the deep part of the oil inside the lower ball. Even if water accumulates slightly more than in other areas, even if moisture is generated due to the influence of external temperature, it will be blocked by the support frame and will not rise, eliminating ballast malfunctions and preventing corrosion of various parts. This can further prevent insulation deterioration.
