When the electromagnetic structure is energized and the display device is in the second display state, the electromagnetic structure attracts the first end of the connector so that the first end drives the driven member to move toward the active member through the second end until the active member and the driven member can move synchronously.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes: a transition connector, which is connected to the driven member via a chain. The transition connector can rotate together with the driven member.

[0022] Furthermore, when the display device is in the second display state, the electromagnetic structure of the safety protection mechanism is energized, and the electromagnetic structure attracts the connector of the safety protection mechanism, so that the connector drives the driven part of the clutch structure of the safety protection mechanism to move toward the driving part of the clutch structure until the driving part and the driven part can move synchronously. The driving structure of the safety protection mechanism drives the driving part of the clutch structure to rotate, and the driving part drives the driven part and the flipping structure to flip.

[0023] Furthermore, when the first sensor of the safety protection mechanism detects that the flipping structure has flipped to a preset angle value, the control system of the safety protection mechanism disconnects the drive structure from the power supply, while the electromagnetic structure remains energized.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S2, when the display device is in the second display state and the second sensor of the safety protection mechanism detects the passage of a non-motorized vehicle, the control system of the safety protection mechanism disconnects the electromagnetic structure from the power supply, the driven member and the driving member separate, and the flipping structure flips under its own weight and is in the passage position.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S2, when the display device is in the second display state, the player of the safety protection mechanism plays a voice to prevent non-motorized vehicles from passing.

[0047] To address the problem of non-motorized vehicles frequently running red lights in existing traffic systems, this application provides a safety protection mechanism and method for traffic systems.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the safety protection mechanism for a traffic system includes a display device 410 and a protection device 420. The display device 410 has a first display state and a second display state. When the display device 410 is in the first display state, the traffic system is in a passage state; when the display device 410 is in the second display state, the traffic system is in a non-passage state. The protection device 420 has a passage position and a blocking position. When the display device 410 is in the first display state, the protection device 420 is in the passage position; when the display device 410 is in the second display state, at least a portion of the protection device 420 is flipped relative to the ground and set at an angle to the ground, placing the protection device 420 in the blocking position to prevent non-motorized vehicles from passing.

[0050] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, when the display device 410 is in the second display state and the traffic system is in a non-passage state, at least a portion of the protection devices 420 can be flipped relative to the ground and set at an angle to the ground to intercept non-motorized vehicles. In this way, the above-mentioned arrangement can, on the one hand, serve as a warning to non-motorized vehicles, raising their safety awareness, and on the other hand, intercept non-motorized vehicles, preventing them from forcibly passing and thus preventing traffic accidents. This solves the problem of non-motorized vehicles easily running red lights in existing traffic systems.

[0051] In this embodiment, there are two display devices 410 and two housings 421, and the two display devices 410 are correspondingly arranged with the two housings 421. The driving component 422 is arranged inside one housing 421, and one end of the flip structure 423 is driven by the driving component 422.

[0052] It should be noted that the number of display devices 410 is not limited to this. Optionally, there may be one, three, or more display devices 410.

[0053] It should be noted that the number and location of the drive components 422 are not limited to this. Optionally, there are two drive components 422, and the two drive components 422 drive the two ends of the flip structure 423 respectively, and the actions of the two drive components 422 are synchronized.

[0054] Optionally, the protective device 420 includes a housing 421, a drive assembly 422, and at least one flipping structure 423. The housing 421 is disposed below the display device 410. The drive assembly 422 is disposed within at least one housing 421. The flipping structure 423 is disposed between at least two housings 421 and is capable of flipping relative to the housings 421. The drive assembly 422 is capable of driving at least one end of the flipping structure 423 to flip the flipping structure 423 relative to the ground. Figure 1 As shown, the protective device 420 includes two housings 421, one flipping structure 423, and three flipping structures 423, which are interconnected to achieve synchronous flipping. Specifically, when the display device 410 is in the first display state, the flipping structures 423 are located below the ground surface and are not exposed, thus not obstructing the passage of non-motorized vehicles. When the display device 410 is in the second display state, the three flipping structures 423 are flipped relative to the ground and above the ground surface under the drive of the drive component 422, forming an obstacle on the road and preventing non-motorized vehicles from passing. The above structure is simple in structure and easy to implement and manufacture.

[0055] It should be noted that the number of flip structures 423 is not limited to this, and can be set according to the actual width of the road. Optionally, there can be two, four, five or more flip structures 423.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the flipping structure 423 includes a connecting shaft 4231 and a flipping body 4232. The flipping body 4232 includes a first plate 4232a and a second plate 4232b connected sequentially. The connecting shaft 4231 is located on the side of the first plate 4232a away from the second plate 4232b, and the flipping body 4232 flips around the connecting shaft 4231. The second plate 4232b is an arc-shaped plate. Optionally, the connecting shaft 4231 is welded, riveted, or fastened to the first plate 4232a, and the connecting shaft 4231 can drive the flipping body 4232 to rotate.

[0057] Specifically, when the display device 410 is in the first display state, the first plate 4232a is flush with the ground surface, and the second plate 4232b is located inside the ground surface. When the protective device 420 is in the blocking position, the flipping structure 423 flips over entirely above the ground surface, so that the first plate 4232a faces the non-motorized vehicle, and the second plate 4232b faces the side away from the non-motorized vehicle. The second plate 4232b blocks the exposed ground after the first plate 4232a flips over, preventing non-motorized vehicles from accidentally falling underground, thereby improving the safety of the traffic system.

[0058] It should be noted that the shape of the second plate 4232b is not limited to this. Optionally, the second plate 4232b can be a flat plate or a corrugated plate.

[0059] Optionally, the first plate 4232a is a flat plate, and the flipping structure 423 includes multiple reinforcing members 4233. These multiple reinforcing members 4233 are disposed within the cavity formed by the first plate 4232a and the second plate 4232b, and are connected to both the first plate 4232a and the second plate 4232b. The multiple reinforcing members 4233 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the connecting shaft 4231. These multiple reinforcing members 4233 can strengthen the connection between the first plate 4232a and the second plate 4232b, improving the structural strength of the flipping structure 423 and extending the service life of the protective device 420.

[0060] Optionally, the flip structure 423 further includes at least one display screen 4234. The at least one display screen 4234 is disposed on the first plate 4232a. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, each flipping structure 423 includes a display screen 4234. When the protective device 420 is in the blocking position, the display screen 4234 can display slogans such as "Safe Travel", thereby achieving the purpose of warning and preventing non-motorized vehicles from running red lights.

[0061] In this embodiment, the flip structure 423 also includes tempered glass disposed on the first plate 4232a, and the tempered glass is disposed around the display screen 4234 to protect the display screen 4234.

[0062] In this embodiment, the flipping structure 423 also includes a spring 4235 disposed on the connecting shaft 4231. During the flipping process of the flipping body 4232, the spring 4235 can buffer the rotation of the flipping body 4232 and reduce the vibration generated by the flipping body 4232 during the rotation.

[0063] In this embodiment, there are three flipping structures 423, and the connecting shafts 4231 of two adjacent flipping structures 423 are welded together, as are the flipping bodies 4232 of two adjacent flipping structures 423. This simplifies the manufacturing process and makes the connection between the connecting shafts 4231 and the flipping bodies 4232 of two adjacent flipping structures 423 more stable, thus improving the structural strength of the protection device 420.

[0064] It should be noted that the connection method of the connecting shaft 4231 of two adjacent flip structures 423 is not limited to this. Optionally, the connecting shaft 4231 of two adjacent flip structures 423 can be snapped, riveted, or fastened together. In this way, the above connection method makes the installation or disassembly of the connecting shaft 4231 of two adjacent flip structures 423 easier and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0065] It should be noted that the connection method of the flipping bodies 4232 of two adjacent flipping structures 423 is not limited to this. Optionally, the flipping bodies 4232 of two adjacent flipping structures 423 can be snap-fitted, riveted, or fastened together. In this way, the above connection method makes the installation or disassembly of the flipping bodies 4232 of two adjacent flipping structures 423 easier and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0066] like Figures 5 to 9As shown, the drive assembly 422 includes a drive structure 4221, a clutch structure 4222, and an electromagnetic structure 4223. The drive structure 4221 drives the driving member 4222a of the clutch structure 4222 to rotate. When the electromagnetic structure 4223 is energized and the display device 410 is in the second display state, the electromagnetic structure 4223 drives the driven member 4222b of the clutch structure 4222 to move towards the driving member 4222a, so that the driven member 4222b and the driving member 4222a can rotate synchronously. The connecting shaft 4231 is connected to the driven member 4222b and can rotate together with the driven member 4222b, so that the protection device 420 is in the blocking position. In this way, by switching the working state (energized or de-energized) of the electromagnetic structure 4223, the active component 4222a and the driven component 4222b of the clutch structure 4222 can be engaged or disengaged, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the safety protection mechanism, making it easier and simpler for the staff to operate the protection device 420, and reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0067] Specifically, when the display device 410 is in the second display state, the electromagnetic structure 4223 is energized and drives the driven member 4222b of the clutch structure 4222 to move toward the driving member 4222a, realizing the engagement of the driving member 4222a and the driven member 4222b. The two can rotate synchronously under the drive of the drive structure 4221. Then the connecting shaft 4231 connected to the driven member 4222b also rotates synchronously with the driving member 4222a. Then the flipping body 4232 rotates together with the connecting shaft 4231 to achieve flipping, so that the protection device 420 is in the blocking position to prevent non-motorized vehicles from passing.

[0068] Optionally, the drive structure 4221 is a motor.

[0069] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the drive assembly 422 also includes a transmission structure 4224 and a connector 4225. The transmission structure 4224 is connected to the drive structure 4221 and drives the driving member 4222a. The first end of the connector 4225 can be attracted by the electromagnetic structure 4223, and the second end of the connector 4225 is connected to the driven member 4222b and can drive the driven member 4222b to move. When the electromagnetic structure 4223 is energized and the display device 410 is in the second display state, the electromagnetic structure 4223 attracts the first end of the connector 4225, so that the first end drives the driven member 4222b towards the driving member 4222a through the second end, until the driving member 4222a and the driven member 4222b can move synchronously. In this way, the electromagnetic structure 4223 and the driven member 4222b are connected by the connector 4225. The electromagnetic structure 4223 drives the connector 4225 to move, which enables the driven member 4222b to move toward or away from the driving member 4222a. This makes it easier and simpler for the operator to operate the protection device 420 and reduces the labor intensity of the operator.

[0070] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic structure 4223, the active element 4222a, and the driving structure 4221 are located on the same side inside the housing 421.

[0071] Specifically, when the electromagnetic structure 4223 is energized and the display device 410 is in the second display state, the electromagnetic structure 4223 attracts the first end of the connector 4225, causing the second end and the driven member 4222b to move toward the side where the electromagnetic structure 4223 (the driving member 4222a) is located, until the driven member 4222b and the driving member 4222a are combined, so as to realize the flipping of the flipping body 4232; when the electromagnetic structure 4223 is de-energized, the electromagnetic structure 4223 separates from the first end of the connector 4225, and the driven member 4222b and the driving member 4222a separate under their own weight, so that the flipping structure 423 flips in the opposite direction under its own weight, so that the first plate 4232a and the second plate 4232b fall into the ground, and non-motorized vehicles can pass.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the driven member 4222b has a limiting recess 4222c, and the second end of the connecting member 4225 extends into the limiting recess 4222c and is limited and stopped by the limiting recess 4222c. In this way, the above arrangement can prevent relative movement between the driven member 4222b and the connecting member 4225, ensuring that the connecting member 4225 can drive the driven member 4222b to move, thereby improving the operational reliability of the protection device 420.

[0073] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the transmission structure 4224 includes a transmission belt 4224a and a reducer 4224b. The drive structure 4221 is connected to the reducer 4224b via the transmission belt 4224a, and the output shaft of the reducer 4224b passes through the driving member 4222a. In this way, the reducer 4224b slows down the rotation of the driving member 4222a, allowing the tilting structure 423 to tilt slowly, making it easier for the operator to control the tilting angle of the tilting structure 423.

[0074] It should be noted that the structure of the transmission structure 4224 is not limited to this. Optionally, the transmission structure 4224 includes a chain and a reducer 4224b.

[0075] In this embodiment, the safety protection mechanism further includes a first sensor and a control system. The first sensor is mounted on the flipping structure 423 and is used to detect the flipping angle of the flipping structure 423 relative to the ground. The control system is electrically connected to the electromagnetic structure 4223 and the drive structure 4221. When the flipping angle is equal to or greater than a preset angle value, the first sensor sends a signal to the control system, which then disconnects the drive structure 4221 from the power supply, and the active component 4222a stops rotating. Optionally, the preset angle value is less than 60°. This configuration allows for more precise and accurate control of the flipping angle of the flipping structure 423 by the operator, improving the operational reliability of the safety protection mechanism.

[0076] Specifically, during the flipping process of the flipping structure 423, the first sensor can monitor the flipping angle of the flipping structure 423. When the flipping angle of the flipping structure 423 is equal to or greater than the preset angle value, the first sensor sends a signal to the control system. The control system disconnects the drive structure 4221 from the power supply, and the active member 4222a stops rotating so that the flipping structure 423 is kept at the flipping angle.

[0077] In this embodiment, the safety protection mechanism also includes a second sensor. Specifically, when the display device 410 is in the second display state and the second sensor detects the passage of a non-motorized vehicle, the control system disconnects the electromagnetic structure 4223 from the power supply, causing the driven member 4222b to separate from the driving member 4222a. The flipping structure 423 then flips under its own weight and is positioned for passage. Thus, when a non-motorized vehicle runs a red light, the second sensor detects the vehicle, and the control system disconnects the electromagnetic structure 4223 from the power supply, causing the flipping structure 423 to flip underground, ensuring the non-motorized vehicle can pass and protecting personal safety.

[0078] In this embodiment, the second sensor is disposed outside the housing 421.

[0079] like Figure 10As shown, the display device 410 includes an outer casing 411 and a traffic light assembly 412. The traffic light assembly 412 is disposed within the outer casing 411 and includes at least one red light and at least one green light. When the display device 410 is in a first display state, the green light is active; when the display device 410 is in a second display state, the red light is active. The outer casing 411 serves to reflect and converge the light. In this way, the red and green lights can serve as warnings and reminders to non-motorized vehicles, making the traffic system more user-friendly.

[0080] like Figure 10 As shown, the safety protection mechanism also includes a player 430. The player 430 is mounted on the display device 410. When the display device 410 is in the second display state, the player 430 plays a voice message to prevent non-motorized vehicles from passing. Specifically, when the traffic system is in a non-passing state, the red light illuminates, and the player 430 plays relevant voice information to remind non-motorized vehicles not to continue passing.

[0081] In this embodiment, the player 430 is a speaker.

[0082] In this embodiment, the traffic light assembly 412 also includes at least one yellow light. When the yellow light is on, the player 430 issues a voice prompt asking the driver to slow down.

[0083] In this embodiment, the working principle of the safety protection mechanism is as follows:

[0084] When the red light on the display device 410 illuminates, the player 430 issues a voice prompt (e.g., "Red light, no passage allowed"). The control system simultaneously energizes the drive structure 4221 and the electromagnetic structure 4223. The drive structure 4221 transmits power to the reducer 4224b via the transmission belt 4224a. Simultaneously, the electromagnetic structure 4223, through the connector 4225, pushes the driven member 4222b of the clutch structure 4222 to slide on the linear bearing, causing the driven member 4222b and the driving member 4222a of the clutch structure 4222 to mesh. The linear bearing is axially positioned with the reducer 4224b via the connecting shaft 4231. The connecting shaft 4231 then drives the tilting body 4232 to tilt relative to the ground, causing the tilting structure 423 to rise from the ground. When the flipping structure 423 rotates through a specified angle, the first sensor sends a signal to the control system. The control system then de-energizes the drive structure 4221 while keeping the electromagnetic structure 4223 energized, causing the flipping structure 423 to rise to and maintain a specified height. Simultaneously, the display screen 4234 displays safety slogans to warn and deter non-motorized vehicles from running red lights.

[0085] When a non-motorized vehicle forcibly crosses the road at a red light, the second sensor sends a signal to the control system. The control system then de-energizes the electromagnetic structure 4223, causing it to separate from the first end of the connector 4225. The driven member 4222b and the driving member 4222a separate under their own weight, causing the flipping structure 423 to flip in the opposite direction under its own weight. This ensures that both the first plate 4232a and the second plate 4232b fall below the ground, preventing damage to the flipping structure 423 and avoiding harm to the non-motorized vehicle that ran the red light. Since the light is still red, after the non-motorized vehicle forcibly crosses the road, the control system energizes the drive structure 4221 and the electromagnetic structure 4223, causing the flipping structure 423 to rotate and rise to a designated position before stopping.

[0086] When the green light on the display device 410 is on, the control system controls the electromagnetic structure 4223 to de-energize, and the first plate 4232a of the flipping structure 423 returns to a state parallel to the ground.

[0087] This application also provides a safety protection method for a transportation system, employing the aforementioned safety protection mechanism. The safety protection method includes:

[0088] Step S1: Determine the display status of the display device 410 of the safety protection mechanism;

[0089] Step S2:

[0090] When the display device 410 is in the first display state, the traffic system is in the passage state and the safety protection device 420 of the safety protection mechanism is in the passage position;

[0091] When the display device 410 is in the second display state, the traffic system is in a non-passage state, and the safety protection device 420 of the safety protection mechanism is in the blocking position to prevent non-motorized vehicles from passing.

[0092] Specifically, when the display device 410 is in the second display state, the traffic system is in a non-passage state. At least a portion of the protection devices 420 can be flipped relative to the ground and set at an angle to the ground to intercept non-motorized vehicles. In this way, the above-mentioned arrangement can, on the one hand, serve as a warning to non-motorized vehicles and improve their safety awareness, and on the other hand, intercept non-motorized vehicles to prevent them from forcibly passing through, thus preventing traffic accidents. This solves the problem of non-motorized vehicles running red lights being a common occurrence in existing traffic systems.

[0093] In this embodiment, in step S2, when the display device 410 is in the second display state, the flipping structure 423 of the protection device 420 flips relative to the ground to block non-motorized vehicles. In this way, the flipping structure 423 blocks the road to prevent non-motorized vehicles from passing and avoids traffic accidents caused by non-motorized vehicles running red lights.

[0094] In this embodiment, when the display device 410 is in the second display state, the electromagnetic structure 4223 of the safety protection mechanism is energized, and the electromagnetic structure 4223 attracts the connector 4225 of the safety protection mechanism, so that the connector 4225 drives the driven member 4222b of the clutch structure 4222 of the safety protection mechanism to move toward the driving member 4222a of the clutch structure 4222 until the driving member 4222a and the driven member 4222b can move synchronously. The driving structure 4221 of the safety protection mechanism drives the driving member 4222a of the clutch structure 4222 to rotate, and the driving member 4222a drives the driven member 4222b and the flipping structure 423 to flip.

[0095] In this embodiment, when the first sensor of the safety protection mechanism detects that the flipping structure 423 has flipped to a preset angle value, the control system of the safety protection mechanism disconnects the drive structure 4221 from the power supply, while the electromagnetic structure 4223 remains energized.

[0096] In this embodiment, in step S2, when the display device 410 is in the second display state and the second sensor of the safety protection mechanism detects the passage of a non-motorized vehicle, the control system of the safety protection mechanism disconnects the electromagnetic structure 4223 from the power supply, the driven member 4222b separates from the driving member 4222a, and the flipping structure 423 flips under its own weight and is in the passage position.

[0097] In this embodiment, in step S2, when the display device 410 is in the second display state, the player 430 of the safety protection mechanism plays a voice to prevent non-motorized vehicles from passing.

[0098] Example 2

[0099] The difference between the safety protection mechanism in Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the structure of the drive component 422 is different.

[0100] like Figures 11 to 13As shown, the drive assembly 422 also includes a transition connector 4226. The transition connector 4226 is connected to the driven member 4222b via a chain 440. The transition connector 4226 can rotate together with the driven member 4222b. The transition connector 4226 is connected to the connecting shaft 4231 to drive the flipping body 4232 to flip relative to the ground. Thus, when the display device 410 is in the second display state, the electromagnetic structure 4223 is energized and drives the driven member 4222b of the clutch structure 4222 to move toward the driving member 4222a, realizing the engagement of the driving member 4222a and the driven member 4222b. The two can rotate synchronously under the drive of the drive structure 4221. The transition connecting member 4226 connected to the driven member 4222b also rotates synchronously with the driving member 4222a. The transition connecting member 4226 drives the connecting shaft 4231 to rotate together, so as to realize the flipping of the flipping body 4232, so that the protection device 420 is in the blocking position to prevent non-motorized vehicles from passing.

[0101] Optionally, the transition connector 4226 has a fan-shaped structure.

[0102] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the drive assembly 422 also includes a transmission structure 4224 and a connector 4225. The transmission structure 4224 is connected to the drive structure 4221 and drives the driving member 4222a. The connector 4225 includes a first part and a second part. The first part can be attracted to and move towards the electromagnetic structure 4223, while the second part is connected to and can drive the driven member 4222b to move. The contact surface between the first and second parts is an inclined plane. When the electromagnetic structure 4223 is energized and the display device 410 is in a second display state, the electromagnetic structure 4223 attracts the first part of the connector 4225, causing the first part to drive the second part and the driven member 4222b to move towards the driving member 4222a until the driving member 4222a and the driven member 4222b can move synchronously. The above structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0103] Specifically, when the electromagnetic structure 4223 is energized, the electromagnetic structure 4223 attracts the first part of the connector 4225, so that the first part moves toward the electromagnetic structure 4223. The first part and the second part are driven by the inclined plane, so that the second part moves toward the electromagnetic structure 4223. Since the second part can only translate in the horizontal direction, the total displacement of the second part moves toward the driving member 4222a, so as to realize the engagement of the driving member 4222a and the driven member 4222b. Then the transmission structure 4224 can drive the transition connector 4226 to rotate. The transition connector 4226 drives the flipping body 4232 to flip relative to the ground through the connecting shaft 4231.

[0104] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0105] When the display device is in the second display state, the traffic system is in a non-passing state. At least a portion of the protective devices can rotate relative to the ground and be set at an angle to the ground to intercept non-motorized vehicles. In this way, the above-mentioned setup serves two purposes: firstly, it warns non-motorized vehicles and raises their safety awareness; secondly, it intercepts non-motorized vehicles, preventing them from forcibly passing and thus preventing traffic accidents. This solves the problem of non-motorized vehicles running red lights being a common cause of traffic accidents in existing traffic systems.
