The invention discloses a mechanical type lifting electric novel street lamp which comprises a lamp post, a control switch, a lamp holder and a traction device. The lamp holder is installed at the front end of the lamp post and electrically connected with the control switch. The control switch is embedded to the outer surface of the lamp post. The traction device is embedded in the lamp post and comprises a driving motor, a line wheel and a traction mooring rope. The lamp holder comprises an upper socket, a lower socket and a fixing cylinder. The upper socket comprises a protective side wall, a protective cover, an upper tooth column and a static electrode. The lower socket comprises a middle tooth column, a bearing groove, a movable electrode and a lamp base. The fixing cylinder comprises a lower tooth column and a positioning sleeve. According to the mechanical type lifting electric novel street lamp, the structure is simple, and use is flexible and convenient; on one hand, convenience and flexibility of maintenance work such as daily cleaning and replacement of the street lamp can be effectively improved, so that the using and maintenance working efficiency of the street lamp is improved, and the working cost and the labor intensity are lowered; and on the other hand, connection reliability of a circuit part of the street lamp can be effectively improved, and operation stability and safety of the street lamp are improved.
