In this embodiment, the LED sensor module 42 includes a sensor assembly 421 on the top pipe 13, a sensor wire connector 422 and a sensor power switch 423. The light wire connector 411 of the LED light 41 is electrically connected with the sensor wire connector 422, then the light wire connector 411 of the LED light 41 crosses over the top pipe 13 and is connected with the light wire connector of the neighboring LED light end to end by turns. The connector is hidden in the top pipe 13. Two ends of the LED light 41 is close to the top pipe 13 and fastened by screws. By this setting way, all the wires have no leak, the wiring is more reasonable, and the harm to the wires by other objected is avoided.
The solar receiving module 5 further includes a solar energy base gasket 51, a solar receiving module cable 52 and a photovoltaic panel 53. An DC inner jack 54 is disposed at the lower cover of the photovoltaic panel 53 on the solar receiving module 5, and the solar receiver cable plug of the LED light 41 can be inserted into the DC inner jack 54, such that the LED light 41 is electrically connect with the solar receiving module 5, and the detachably installation of the solar receiving module 5 is achieved.
A built-in battery is disposed in the solar receiving module 5 and can be disassembled and replaced independently. The solar receiving module 5 is detachably disposed at the carport top cover 1. When there's no sun, the whole solar receiving module can be taken out and put indoor to be charged, thereby overcoming the limitation of the weather to the solar receiving module 5, and ensuring the solar receiving module 5 to supply the power for the LED sensor module 42 everyday.
In this embodiment, the LED sensor module 42 is an object-sensitive optic-controlled module, which is electrically connected with at least one LED light 41. First the optic-controlled module senses whether it's daytime or night. When the object-sensitive optic-controlled module senses that the light is lower than a threshold value, it is judged to be night, then the object-sensitive optic-controlled module senses that something is getting close to the carport, such as a car or a person. Within a preset distance, the LED sensor module 42 can send a sensing signal, and the LED light 41 shines. When the object-sensitive optic-controlled module senses that no object is getting close to the carport, the LED light 41 won't shine. When the object-sensitive optic-controlled module senses and judges to be daytime, the LED light 41 won't be turned on whether cars or people are getting close or not. In addition, customers can select to turn on or turn off the sensor power switch 423 of the LED sensor module 42 to start the LED light to work or cut off the power supply to stop working, and the design is more diverse and humanized. However, this invention makes no limit for the type of the LED sensor module 42. Any LED sensor module which can achieve the same function is within the scope of protection of this invention. In other embodiments, the LED sensor module 42 can be a audio-controlled optic-controlled module or an infrared optic-controlled module. When it's detected to be night, and when a voice or heat source is getting close within a preset distance, the LED light shines.
In conclusion, the solar vehicle carport with the LED sensor light provided by this invention can utilize the solar energy to supply power to the LED light module, which is green and environment friendly. In addition, the LED light is to turned on or turned off by a way of sensing, which is energy efficient and humanized.
