Outdoor center pole structure

Abstract

An outdoor center pole structure includes a segmented center pole, an electrical connector, a rotary mounting plate, and a base. A second locking member is provided at the distal end of the first segment connected to the base. A first locking member is provided at the distal end of the second segment away from the base. A screw rod locked to the first locking member is provided in the center pole. The electrical connector is a plug-in connector, including a first connecting end that is fixed and a second connecting end that is rotatably mounted through a rotary mounting plate. The first connecting end is located at the distal end or a recessed portion of the center pole, and the second connecting end is located at the other end accordingly. The screw rod cooperates with the first locking member to achieve a stable connection of the segmented center pole.
