Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic sign technology, and in particular to an intelligent variable information sign device for traffic engineering. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traffic engineering, information signage devices are key facilities for ensuring the safe, orderly, and efficient operation of road traffic. They are like the "language system" of road traffic, providing drivers and pedestrians with important information such as road conditions, traffic rules, and navigation guidance through intuitive and clear visual information, helping them make correct decisions, thereby effectively preventing traffic accidents and improving traffic efficiency. With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous growth of traffic flow, the importance of information signage devices in traffic engineering is becoming increasingly prominent.

[0003] In current traffic engineering, the information signs used are relatively simple in structure, mostly made of sheet metal with surface painting. Such signs have limited function, only able to convey fixed traffic instructions, and cannot flexibly change the content of the signs according to real-time traffic conditions, making it difficult to meet the command needs under complex traffic conditions.

[0006] Furthermore, the information board is rotatably connected to the main frame, and the three information boards are arranged in a row within the main frame. Incomplete traffic signs are set on both sides of the information board, and the three information boards on the same side constitute a complete traffic sign.

[0009] Furthermore, the cylinder body of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the main frame, and the push rod end of the electric cylinder is rotatably connected to the other end of the transmission link. When the electric cylinder is in the extended state, the electric cylinder drives the information board to rotate half a turn through the transmission link, so that one of the traffic signs faces forward, thereby achieving traffic control. When the electric cylinder is in the retracted state, the electric cylinder drives the information board to rotate half a turn again through the transmission link, so that the other traffic sign faces forward, thereby achieving traffic control.

[0010] Furthermore, the suspension frame is rotatably connected to the main frame, and sliding holes are provided on both sides of the suspension frame. Sliding blocks are provided on both sides of the main frame, and the sliding blocks are slidably connected in the sliding holes.

[0011] Furthermore, an upper screw is provided inside the top of the suspension frame, which is threaded to the top of the turnbuckle.

According to traffic control, the turnbuckle can be rotated to adjust the height of the main frame and change the position of the traffic sign.

[0012] This utility model provides an intelligent variable information sign device for traffic engineering, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In use, this utility model ensures the synchronicity of the rotation adjustment of the three information panels through the meshing of gears. The three information panels can be rotated and adjusted according to the needs of traffic control, so as to switch between two traffic signs and meet the needs of traffic control.

[0014] In addition, when the electric cylinder is in the extended state, it drives the information board to rotate half a turn through the transmission link, so that one of the traffic signs faces forward and realizes the corresponding traffic control; when the electric cylinder is in the retracted state, it drives the information board to rotate half a turn again through the transmission link, so that the other traffic sign faces forward and realizes the corresponding traffic control, making the control and switching faster.

[0015] In addition, the slider and the sliding hole slide together to guide the main frame to move up and down. According to traffic control, the turnbuckle can be rotated to adjust the height of the main frame and change the height of the traffic sign, so as to better meet the actual application needs.

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 :

[0028] This utility model proposes an intelligent variable information sign device for traffic engineering, comprising: a suspension frame 1, a main frame 2, information panels 3, turnbuckles 4, an electric cylinder 5, and a transmission link 6; the top of the suspension frame 1 is fixedly connected to a traffic support rod, and the bottom of the suspension frame 1 is connected to the main frame 2; the turnbuckles 4 are connected inside the top of the suspension frame 1 and are connected to the main frame 2; three information panels 3 are installed inside the suspension frame 1; the electric cylinder 5 is installed at the bottom of the main frame 2, and the transmission link 6 is connected to the bottom of the information panels 3, located outside the bottom of the main frame 2. It is connected to the electric cylinder 5; the information board 3 is rotatably connected to the main frame 2, and the three information boards 3 are arranged in a row inside the main frame 2. Incomplete traffic signs are set on both sides of the information board 3, and the three information boards 3 on the same side constitute a complete traffic sign. The top of the information board 3 is equipped with a gear 301, and two adjacent gears 301 mesh with each other; through the meshing of the gears 301, the synchronicity of the rotation adjustment of the three information boards 3 is ensured. The three information boards 3 can be rotated and adjusted according to the needs of traffic control to realize the switching between two traffic signs to meet the needs of traffic control.

[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, a turntable 302 is provided at the bottom of one of the information boards 3, one end of the transmission link 6 is rotatably connected to the turntable 302, the cylinder body of the electric cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the main frame 2, and the end of the push rod of the electric cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the other end of the transmission link 6.

[0030] Using the above technical solution, when the electric cylinder 5 is in the extended state, the electric cylinder 5 drives the information board 3 to rotate half a turn through the transmission link 6, so that one of the traffic signs faces forward, thereby realizing the corresponding traffic control; when the electric cylinder 5 is in the retracted state, the electric cylinder 5 drives the information board 3 to rotate half a turn again through the transmission link 6, so that the other traffic sign faces forward, thereby realizing the corresponding traffic control, making the control and switching faster.

[0031] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the suspension frame 1 is rotatably connected to the main frame 2. The suspension frame 1 is provided with sliding holes 101 on both sides, and the main frame 2 is provided with sliders 201 on both sides.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the electric cylinder 5 is in the extended state, it drives the information plate 3 to rotate half a turn through the transmission link 6. The gears 301 mesh with each other to ensure the synchronicity of the rotation adjustment of the three information plates 3, so that one of the traffic signs faces forward to achieve the corresponding traffic control. When the electric cylinder 5 is in the retracted state, it drives the information plate 3 to rotate half a turn again through the transmission link 6, so that another traffic sign faces forward to achieve the corresponding traffic control. The control and switching are more convenient. During the installation of the device, the slider 201 slides and engages with the sliding hole 101 to guide the vertical movement of the main frame 2. According to the traffic control, the turnbuckle 4 can be rotated to adjust the height of the main frame 2, thereby changing the height of the traffic sign and better meeting the actual application needs.
