Railway external environment safety monitoring and early warning device

ActiveCN224375608URoad traffic warning meansTraffic gates operation
This patent discloses a railway external environment safety monitoring and early warning device, including a lifting mechanism. A stop bar is fixedly installed at the flipping end of the lifting mechanism. The stop bar is hollow inside. A laser ranging sensor is fixedly installed at the front end of the outer wall of the stop bar, and an audible and visual alarm is fixedly installed at the top of the outer wall of the stop bar. The wiring of the laser ranging sensor and the audible and visual alarm is located inside the stop bar. This patent, through the combination of laser ranging sensor, microcontroller, and audible and visual alarm, can detect the distance between the stop bar and surrounding targets in real time. When the distance is less than a preset safety threshold (i.e., the target enters the danger zone), the microcontroller immediately triggers the audible and visual alarm, actively reminding pedestrians and vehicles to stay away through sound and light. This upgrades from "passive obstruction" to "active early warning," solving the core safety loophole of "no warning when approaching a danger zone."
