Further, a first docking portion 11 is provided at one end of the support arm 10 close to the main body 20. A second docking portion 21, which is docked with the first docking portion 11, is provided at one end of the main body 20 close to the support arm 10. The female joint 113 is disposed on the first docking portion 11, and the male joint 213 is disposed on the second docking portion 21. When installing the LED street light 1, the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 are matched and connected, such that the main body 20 and the support arm 10 are stably connected while the female joint 113 and the male joint 213 are electrically connected. Thus, the structure is simple, the operation is easy, and the installation efficiency is greatly improved.

The male joint 213 is fixed in the main body 20 and connected to circuits inside the main body 20, and the female joint 113 is fixed in the support arm 10 and connected to an external power supply via circuits. When installing the LED street light 1, the male joint 213 and the female joint 113 are mutually inserted, similar to form of a plug and a socket, to supply power to the main body 20, without arranging the circuits in the LED street light 1 before installation, which greatly simplifies the installation process, reduces the installation time and the installation difficulty. In addition, high-altitude work is required when installing the LED street light 1, if the installation time is too long, the physical strength of the installer will be greatly consumed, which may have potential safety hazards. The installation process of the LED street light 1 of the present invention is very simple, which greatly shortens the installation time and improves the safety during the installation of the LED street light 1. Furthermore, when the LED street light 1 needs to be repaired or maintained, it is simpler and more convenient to disassemble the main body 20, which saves manpower and is safer.

When installing the LED street light 1, the support arm 10 is fixed first, and then the second docking portion 21 of the main body 20 is aligned with the first docking portion 11 of the support arm 10. The stability of the docking between the second docking portion 21 and the first docking portion 11 can be improved through the corresponding engaging structures therein. Finally, the two docking portions are fixed by bolts to enhance the stable connection between the main body 20 and the support arm 10.

Further, referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the support arm 10 includes an adjusting arm 12 and a fixed arm 13 detachably connected to the adjusting arm 12.

Thus, the structure is simple, stable and has strong operability, which greatly improves the practicability of the LED street light 1.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, further, in order to improve the safety of the female joint 113 and the male joint 213, the first docking portion 11 defines a first accommodating slot 110 with an opening, and the female joint 113 is disposed in the first accommodating slot 110. The first accommodating slot 110 includes a slot bottom 111, four slot walls 112 connected to the slot bottom 111, and a first opening opposite to the slot bottom 111. The orientation of the first opening is opposite to the lighting direction of the LED street light 1. Similarly, the second docking portion 21 defines a second accommodating slot 210 with an opening, and the male joint 213 is disposed in the second accommodating slot 210. The second accommodating slot 210 includes a bottom wall 211, four side walls 212 connected to the bottom wall 211, and a second opening opposite the bottom wall 211. The orientation of the second opening is the same as the lighting direction of the LED street light 1.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the first opening corresponds to that of the second opening, and both are quasi-rectangular. In other embodiments, the shapes of the first opening and the second opening may also be other shapes such as a circle or a polygon, as long as the shape of the first opening corresponds to that of the second opening.

The bottom wall 211 of the second accommodating slot 210 is the slot bottom of the second accommodating slot 210, and the side wall 212 of the second accommodating slot 210 is the slot wall of the second accommodating slot 210. The names “bottom wall” and “side wall” are merely used to distinguish the slot bottom 111 and the slot wall 112 of the first accommodating slot 110 for description.

The male joint 213 and the female joint 113 may be respectively fixed in the second accommodating slot 210 and the first accommodating slot 110 by means of bolts or the like.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 are up-and-down docked, that is, the first docking portion 11 is engaged with the second docking portion 21 downward from above the second docking portion 21. After the first docking portion 11 is engaged with the second docking portion 21, the second docking portion 21 located below the first docking portion 11 can support the first docking portion 11, which can reduce the burden on the installer and improve the installation convenience. In other embodiments, the cooperation between the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 may also be straight-inserting, left-right docking, rotating buckle, etc. For example, one of the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 may be inserted into the other; or the first docking portion 11 is engaged with the second docking portion 21 from the left or right side of the second docking portion 21; or a first locking member is provided on the first docking portion 11 and a second locking member that cooperates with the first locking member is arranged on the second docking portion 21, when the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21, the first docking portion 11 is rotated to make the first locking member cooperate with the second locking member such that the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 are fixed.

Further, a clamping slot 214 is defined at the side, close to the first docking portion 11, of the four side walls 212 of the second accommodating slot 210. During the installation of the LED street light 1, after the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21, the four slot walls 112 of the accommodating slot 110 enter the clamping slot 214, and the first opening and the second opening are matched and docked, such that the first opening of the first accommodating slot 110 covers the second opening of the second accommodating slot to form a closed space. The male joint 213 and the female joint 113 are protected in the closed space, and the safety of the male joint 213 and the female joint 113 is improved.

Optionally, the clamping slot 214 may also be defined on the four slot wall 112 of the first accommodating slot 110, and after the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21, the side walls 212 of the second accommodating slot 210 enter the clamping slot 214 such that the second opening covers the first opening to form a closed space, and the male joint 213 and the female joint 113 are protected in the closed space.

After the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21, the second docking portion 21 and the first docking portion 11 cover each other to seal and protect the first accommodating slot 110 and the second accommodating slot 210 to improve the stability of the overall structure thereof.

The orientation of the first opening may also not be different from the lighting direction of the LED street light 1, and the orientation of the second opening may also be different from the lighting direction of the LED street light 1, as long as the orientation of the first opening is opposite to the orientation of the second opening and the first opening and the second opening are docked to form a closed space after the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21.

Further, due to the LED street light 1 being exposed to the air for a long time during use, the LED street light 1 will be in contact with water vapor in the air in the evening and in the early morning when the air humidity is high; and when it rains, the LED street light 1 is directly exposed to the rainwater, in which case water leakage is likely to occur at the docking portion of the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21. Therefore, in order to prevent water vapor in the air and rainwater from affecting the performance of the LED street light 1, a waterproof ring 215 is provided between the first accommodating slot 110 and the second accommodating slot 210. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the waterproof ring 215 is disposed in the clamping slot 214. Thus, water vapor and rainwater can be prevented from affecting the male joint 213 and the female joint 113, which is beneficial to improve the service life of the LED street light 1.

Further, in order to improve the waterproof performance of the waterproof ring 215, the waterproof ring 215 is in an interference fit with the clamping slot 214.

Further, the thickness of the waterproof ring 215 is less than the depth of the clamping slot 214. Thus, when the clamping slot 214 is defined on the four side walls 212 of the second accommodating slot 210, there is still enough space in the clamping slot 214 with the first waterproof ring 215 disposed therein to accommodate the four slot walls 112 of the first accommodating slot 110. Similarly, when the clamping slot 214 is defined on the four slot walls 112 of the first accommodating slot 110, there is still enough space in the clamping slot 214 with the first waterproof ring 215 disposed therein to accommodate the four side walls 212 of the second accommodating slot 210. Thus, the waterproof performance of the LED street light 1 can be greatly improved.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 5 again, in order to improve the precise and stable connection between the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 when installing the LED street light 1, two limiting members 117 are respectively provided at two opposite sides outside the first accommodating slot 110, and two limiting slots 217, that cooperate with the limiting members 117, are respectively defined at two opposite sides outside the second accommodating slot 210. A limiting wall 218 is provided at one side of the limiting slot 217, and the limiting wall 218 extends along the limiting slot 217 toward the first docking portion 11. During the installation of the LED street light 1, when the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21, the limiting member 117 enters the limiting slot 217 along the inner surface of the limiting wall 218.

Further, the first docking portion 11 is also provided with a limiting plate 114, and a limiting opening 115 is defined between the limiting plate 114 and the limiting member 117. During the installation of the LED street light 1, when the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21, the limiting wall 218 enters the limiting opening 115 to achieve precise positioning thereof.

Further, an abutting portion 216 is defined on the edge, formed by the bottom wall 211 extending in a direction away from the second accommodating slot 210, of the bottom wall 211, and the slot bottom 111 of the first accommodating slot 110 extends along a direction away from the first accommodating slot 110 such that there is a distance formed between the edge of the slot bottom 111 and the slot wall 112. During the installation of the LED street light 1, when the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21, the force acting on the main body 20 makes the second docking portion 21 approach the first docking portion 11 such that the second docking portion 21 and the first docking portion 11 are docked. When the abutting portion 216 of the second docking portion 21 abuts against the edge of the slot bottom 111 of the first docking portion 11, the second docking portion 21 cannot continue to move in the force-applying direction, thus the docking of the second docking portion 21 and the first docking portion 11 is completed.

Specifically, the slot bottom 111 is substantially rectangular, and the slot bottom 111 has four edges. One of the four edges is connected to the limiting plate 114, and the abutting portion 216 abuts the other three edges thereof except the edge connected to the limiting plate 114.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the abutting portion 216 is substantially U-shaped, and the cross-section of the abutting portion 216 is L-shaped.

When installing the LED street light 1, the docking process of the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 is: first, fix the support arm 10; second, move the main body 20 to the top of the support arm 10 to align the second docking portion 21 with the first docking portion 11; third, move the main body 20 downward. During the movement of the main body 20, the limiting member 117 enters the limiting slot 217 along the inner surface of the limiting wall 218, and the limiting wall 218 enters the limiting opening 115 at the same time. When the abutting portion 216 of the second docking portion 21 abuts against the edge of the slot bottom 111 of the first accommodating slot 110, the main body 20 cannot continue to move downward, thus the docking of the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 is completed.

The cooperation between the limiting member 117 and the limiting slot 217, the cooperation between the limiting wall 218 and the limiting opening 115, and the cooperation between the abutting portion 216 and the edge of the slot bottom 111 of the first accommodating slot 110 all play the role of positioning and stability effect, which makes the docking process of the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 simple and easy. In addition, the position of the female joint 113 in the first accommodating slot 110 and the position of the male joint 213 in the first accommodating slot 110 may be calculated in advance, such that the female joint 113 and the male joint 213 can be accurately and mutually inserted after the first docking portion 11 is docked with the second docking portion 21, without keeping an eye to observe the positions thereof to align the two joints.

The number, position and shape of the limiting member 117, the limiting slot 217, the limiting wall 218 and the limiting opening 115 are not limited, as long as the above-mentioned cooperation can be achieved.

Further, the first docking portion 11 defines bolt holes 140 on two opposite sides outside the first accommodating slot 110, and the second docking portion 21 correspondingly defines matching portions matched with the bolt holes 140. After the first docking portion 11 and the second docking portion 21 are docked, the bolt holes 140 and the matching portion are fixed by means of bolts, thus the stability of the LED street light 1 is enhanced.

The positions and numbers of the bolt holes 140 may be changed according to actual products.
