Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of early warning equipment technology, and in particular to a segmented highway early warning pole assembly structure. Background Technology

[0002] When driving on highways, due to high speeds, long distances, and generally good road conditions, drivers are prone to complacency, leading to lane departures or even collisions with emergency lanes or median strips. Therefore, warning devices are necessary, and speed cameras and traffic violation cameras may also be required. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, road repairs, or other emergencies on the highway, highway warning devices are needed to alert following vehicles to the road conditions ahead.

[0003] Existing highway warning equipment typically consists of a single, integrated unit. Each module, such as camera, warning light, display, and alarm modules, must be installed individually onto the main body before construction begins. Only after this initial installation is the entire equipment erected for further installation. In this approach, the main body is initially laid flat while the modules are installed. After installation, the entire device becomes very heavy, making erection difficult and laborious. Furthermore, securing it to the ground after erection is challenging. The uneven weight distribution of the installed modules increases the skill requirements for construction workers, and any mishaps can easily result in injury, posing a safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, the problem addressed by this solution is how to optimize the structure of highway early warning equipment so that the installation and construction of the early warning equipment is both convenient and safe, while also ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the early warning equipment.

[0005] Application content

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, which optimizes the structure of highway warning equipment, making the installation and construction of the warning equipment more convenient, reducing safety hazards, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the warning equipment.

[0007] The technical solution provided in this application is: a segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, including an equipment base, a first pole body and a second pole body, one end of the first pole body is sleeved in the equipment base and the other end extends out of the equipment base, one end of the second pole body is sleeved in the first pole body and the other end extends out of the first pole body, and multiple warning modules are detachably connected to the end of the second pole body extending out of the first pole body in sequence.

[0008] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the equipment base, and the equipment base is connected to the ground through the base plate. The base plate has mounting holes that are adapted to the first pole body.

[0009] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, the wall of the mounting hole is provided with several limiting blocks, and the bottom of the first pole body is provided with several first limiting grooves that are adapted to the limiting blocks.

[0010] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, the length of several of the limiting blocks is greater than or equal to the distance from the inner wall of the base plate to the inner wall of the second pole, and several second limiting grooves adapted to the limiting blocks are opened at the bottom of the second pole body.

[0011] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, the first pole body has a plurality of first strip holes at one end away from the base plate, and the second pole body has a plurality of second strip holes at the corresponding position. The width of one end of the second strip hole is greater than the width of the other end. The threaded connection pair achieves the fastening between the first pole body and the second pole body by cooperating with the first strip holes and the second strip holes.

[0012] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, the inner wall of the second pole body is provided with several guide grooves, which form a channel for the nut to slide.

[0013] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, the guide groove has an open rectangular cross-section, and the opening is connected to the channel.

[0014] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, a number of protective plates are also installed at the connection between the first pole body and the second pole body. The protective plates include a first protective plate and a second protective plate. The first protective plate is in close contact with the outer wall of the first pole body, and the second protective plate is in close contact with the outer wall of the second pole body. The first protective plate and the second protective plate are connected by a connecting piece, and the number of protective plates are interlocked with each other.

[0015] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, the base plate is provided with several guide ribs.

[0016] In the above-mentioned segmented highway warning pole assembly structure, the cross-sectional shape of the pole is a regular octagon.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows:

[0018] This solution optimizes the structure of the early warning device by detachably connecting multiple early warning modules to the second pole body using clamps and designing the pole body as a segmented assembly structure. The first pole body is fixedly connected to the equipment base by welding or other methods. During installation, the second pole body is first fitted into the first pole body and assembled and tightened through several threaded connections, resulting in a stable and reliable overall structure. Since the early warning modules are not yet installed at this stage, the equipment base and pole body are relatively lightweight and have a relatively stable center of gravity, making it easier to erect. After erection, the early warning equipment base is fixed to the ground using a base plate. Then, construction personnel use a lifting platform to install several early warning modules sequentially as needed. Compared to existing products, this solution significantly reduces construction difficulty and the possibility of injury to construction personnel due to the excessive weight and unstable center of gravity of the early warning equipment during installation, thus reducing safety hazards.

[0027] The technical solutions described in this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described in this specification are only some feasible technical solutions of this application. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without any creative effort should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an assembled highway early warning device includes a base 1 and a pole. The power module and control module of the early warning device are all housed within the base 1. The pole has a segmented structure, including a first pole 2 and a second pole 3. One end of the first pole 2 is fitted into the base 1, and the other end extends out of the base 1. Simultaneously, the second pole 3 is fitted into the first pole 2, and the other end extends out of the first pole 2. To ensure connection strength, the junction of the first pole 2 and the base 1 can be fixed by welding or other methods. Multiple early warning modules are sequentially connected to the end of the second pole 3 extending out of the first pole 2. The order of the multiple early warning modules can be adjusted as needed, and they are detachably connected, including but not limited to installation via clamps. In some embodiments, the multiple early warning modules are a monitoring and capture module 6, a display module 7, and an audio-visual module 8, with the installation heights of the monitoring and capture module 6, display module 7, and audio-visual module 8 decreasing sequentially.

[0029] Because the existing early warning equipment base 1 and pole are usually molded as one piece, multiple early warning modules also need to be installed on the pole in advance before construction and installation, and then transported from flat to upright before construction begins. Due to the heavy weight of the early warning equipment, construction is difficult and a slight mistake may cause accidental injury to the construction personnel. In the above technical solution, this application optimizes the structure of the early warning device. Specifically, the pole is set as a segmented structure, with the equipment base 1, the first pole 2, and the second pole 3 nested sequentially for easy assembly. Multiple early warning modules are detachably connected to the second pole 3. During construction and installation, after assembling the main structure with the equipment base 1, the first pole 2, and the second pole 3, the main structure is initially in a flat position. The assembled main structure is then adjusted from a flat position to an upright position. Since the various early warning modules are not yet installed on the main structure, its weight is relatively small, and its center of gravity is relatively stable, allowing it to be easily erected. After erection, the main structure is fixed to the ground. Then, construction personnel use a lifting platform to install each early warning module sequentially according to actual needs. This method is convenient and quick, avoiding safety hazards caused by the excessive weight of the early warning device, reducing the difficulty of construction and installation, and minimizing the dangers to construction personnel. Specifically, the method of detachable connection between each early warning module and the second rod 3 is not specifically limited. For example, detachable connection can be achieved through clamps. It should be noted that one half of the clamp is fixed to the early warning module, using integral molding or welding, while the other half is a separate half or pre-fixed to the second rod 3. The above settings can be adjusted according to actual needs, so no specific limitation is made here. As for the specific structure and installation method of the clamp, it is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0030] Furthermore, the early warning module of this application mainly includes a monitoring module, a display module 7, and an audio-visual module 8. The monitoring and capture module 6 can perform video monitoring and high-speed traffic violation capture operations according to actual needs. The display module 7 can display information including but not limited to current vehicle speed, severe weather warnings, and information on unexpected situations such as road construction or accidents ahead. The audio-visual module 8 alerts passing drivers to sudden situations ahead with flashing warning lights and simultaneously broadcasts relevant information through a loudspeaker. These modules are integrated into the same early warning device, achieving integration of multiple information interaction methods, making information transmission efficient and convenient. In addition, the installation heights of the monitoring and capture module 6, display module 7, and audio-visual module 8 decrease sequentially, fully considering the needs of the early warning device after installation and adapting to various application scenarios. The monitoring and capture module 6 is set the highest to maximize its field of view, facilitating video monitoring and high-speed traffic violation capture. The display module 7 is lower than the monitoring module, ensuring that the displayed content is within the driver's most easily and convenient range of vision. The audio-visual module 8 is positioned below the display module 7, ensuring that the driver can clearly and easily hear the sound while also being alerted by the warning lights, thus increasing their attention.

[0031] In some embodiments, the monitoring and capture module 6 is installed on the top of the second pole 3. Considering that the monitoring and capture module 6 needs a wide field of view, it is installed at the highest point of the entire high-speed warning device, which is the top, to obtain a wide field of view, while also leaving more installation space for other warning modules and optimizing the arrangement of each warning module.

[0032] In some embodiments, the monitoring and capture module 6 includes a camera and an extension plate. One end of the extension plate is equipped with a camera for video monitoring and violation capture, and the other end is connected to the top of the second pole 3. In actual use, the camera cannot be installed alone and needs to rely on corresponding mounting components to be successfully installed on the second pole 3, such as the extension plate in the above embodiment. On the other hand, the extension plate also allows the camera to be installed closer to the driving lane relative to the overall warning device, making it easier and clearer for the camera to perform video monitoring or violation capture. At the same time, the distance between the camera and the second pole 3 ensures that there is a large space around the camera, reducing the blind spot of the camera.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a base plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the equipment base 1. The equipment base 1 is connected and fixed to the ground through the base plate 4. The base plate 4 has mounting holes 41 that are adapted to the first rod 2. The base plate 4 makes the installed early warning equipment more stable, and the mounting holes 41 are used to accommodate the first rod 2, further increasing the stability of the assembly structure.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the base plate 4, that is, the wall of the mounting hole 41, is also provided with several limiting blocks 42. Correspondingly, the bottom of the first rod 2 is provided with several first limiting grooves 21 that are adapted to the limiting blocks 42. During the assembly process, in order to further enhance the firmness of the assembled structure, this application uses the cooperation between the limiting blocks 42 of the base plate 4 and the first limiting grooves 21 on the bottom end face of the first rod 2 to prevent loosening or rotation after assembly. Specifically, after assembly, since the several first limiting grooves 21 of the first rod 2 are all locked on both sides of the several limiting blocks 42 of the base plate 4, the rotation or shaking of the first rod 2 is restricted, preventing the first rod 2 from loosening under external force or accidental circumstances.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom end face of the second rod 3 is provided with several second limiting grooves 31 that are adapted to the limiting block 42. Since the second rod 3 is sleeved inside the first rod 2, in order to reduce the possibility of loosening in extreme or accidental situations, the second rod 3 is further connected and fixed to the base plate 4. Specifically, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the length of the limiting block 42 exceeds the thickness of the first rod 2. The length of the limiting block 42 is greater than or equal to the distance from the wall of the mounting hole 41 to the inner wall of the second rod 3 after assembly. This ensures that while several first limiting grooves 21 are engaged on both sides of the limiting blocks 42, several second limiting grooves 31 are also engaged on both sides of the limiting blocks 42, further preventing the rotation of the second rod 3 and improving the overall stability of the assembled structure. It should be noted that the "length" of the limiting block 42 here refers to the length of the limiting block 42 extending from the wall of the mounting hole 41 to its center.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first rod 2 has several first strip holes 22 at one end away from the base plate 4. After assembly, the second rod 3 has several second strip holes 32 at corresponding positions. The width of one end of the second strip hole 32 is greater than the width of the other end. For example, one end of the strip hole is a circle with a diameter greater than the width of the strip hole, but the specific shape is not specifically limited. It is only necessary to ensure that one end of the strip hole can accommodate the size of the nut.

[0037] Since the second rod 3 is fitted inside the first rod 2, the second rod 3 achieves the purpose of restricting the rotation of the second rod 3 through the cooperation of the second limiting groove 31 and the upper limiting block 42 of the base plate 4. However, because the second rod 3 and the first rod 2 are fitted together, there is a certain gap between the outer wall of the second rod 3 and the inner wall of the first rod 2. The existence of the gap may cause the second rod 3 to loosen, so it is necessary to further tighten the second rod 3. In the above technical solution, in order to further strengthen the connection strength between the second rod 3 and the first rod 2 and reduce the potential risk of loosening between them, the first rod 2 and the second rod 3 are further tightened by a threaded connection pair. Specifically, a first slotted hole 22 is made in the first rod 2, and a second slotted hole 32 is made in the second rod 3. One end of the second slotted hole 32 allows a nut to pass through, reaching one side of the inner wall of the second rod 3. The bolt of the threaded connection pair passes through the first slotted hole 22 and the second slotted hole 32 in sequence, and is fixed to the first rod 2 and the second rod 3 by cooperating with the nut and washer. The threaded connection pair can consist of a bolt, several nuts, and washers. During tightening, the nuts and washers are selected according to actual needs, and the tightening of the first rod 2 and the second rod 3 can be strengthened by the cooperation of the bolt and the nut or washer.

[0038] In some improved embodiments, the inner wall of the second rod 3 is also provided with a plurality of guide grooves, which form a channel 33 for the nut of the threaded connection pair to slide.

[0039] When fastening the first rod 2 and the second rod 3, the nut must first pass through the second slot 32 to reach one side of the inner wall of the second rod 3, and then be further tightened with the bolt to achieve the purpose of fastening. Since the assembler cannot reach the inner wall of the second rod 3, there are many inconveniences in controlling the nut during assembly. The guide groove allows the nut to slide in the guide groove, which facilitates the adjustment of the nut position. At the same time, it also allows the first rod 2 and the second rod 3 to achieve a fastening connection of the threaded pair in a flat state. During assembly, the nut is first placed in the guide groove through the slot. Then, due to the design of the guide groove, the nut will not fall off. At the same time, the position of the nut can be adjusted according to actual needs. After the adjustment is completed, the remaining washers, nuts and bolts are used to achieve the overall mating connection, thereby achieving the purpose of fastening the first rod 2 and the second rod 3. The operation is convenient.

[0040] In a further improvement, the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove is a rectangle with an opening 34, which is connected to the aforementioned channel 33. The opening 34 facilitates the production of the guide groove as a single piece, and also makes it easy to accommodate bolts of different lengths, and allows for adjustment of the length of the bolt extending beyond the outer wall of the first rod 2 according to actual conditions.

[0041] As a further improvement, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, at the connection between the end of the first rod 2 and the second rod 3, several protective plates 5 are also installed. Each protective plate 5 includes a first protective sheet 51 and a second protective sheet 52. The first protective sheet 51 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the first rod 2, and the second protective sheet 52 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the second rod 3. The first protective sheet 51 and the second protective sheet 52 are connected by a connecting piece 53. The protective sheets interlock with each other, thereby tightly holding the connection between the first rod 2 and the second rod 3. In this embodiment, the total number of protective sheets is two, but different numbers of protective sheets can be selected according to actual conditions. Furthermore, the aforementioned tight attachment does not mean there are absolutely no gaps between them; it only means that the first protective sheet 51 is in contact with the outer wall surface of the first rod 2, and the second protective sheet 52 is in contact with the outer wall surface of the second rod 3.

[0042] Because a gap still exists between the first rod 2 and the second rod 3 after assembly, rainwater or foreign objects can easily enter the space between the inner wall of the first rod 2 and the outer wall of the second rod 3 through this gap. Over time, this space can become clogged with foreign objects and rainwater, making it difficult to drain, thus posing a potential hazard and potentially affecting the service life of the first rod 2 and the second rod 3. In the above technical solution, protective plates are installed, with the upper and lower ends respectively clamping the outer walls of the second rod 3 and the first rod 2, sealing the gap and preventing foreign objects from falling into it. At the same time, the installation of multiple protective plates further strengthens the fastening force between the first rod 2 and the second rod 3, further enhancing the connection strength between the first rod 2 and the second rod 3 and further reducing the possibility of the second rod 3 loosening.

[0043] Meanwhile, the protective plates interlock with each other, making installation convenient. On the other hand, as the equipment is used for a longer period of time, the protective plates may be damaged by wind and sun exposure. In this case, it is only necessary to remove the old protective plates and replace them with new ones, making maintenance convenient. In addition, the first protective plate 51 is also provided with a clearance hole 54 with a width greater than the maximum outer diameter of the threaded connection pair, thereby facilitating the installation of the protective plate 5.

[0044] Furthermore, the first rod 2 and the second rod 3 are provided with multiple sets of the aforementioned fastening structures at other different height positions. The difference is that, since the first rod 2 is no longer located at the end, it has a second slot 32 instead of a first slot 22, meaning that one end is wider than the other, thus facilitating the passage of the nut. By providing multiple sets of fastening structures for the first rod 2 and the second rod 3, the connection strength between them is further enhanced, reducing the possibility of the second rod 3 loosening.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the base plate 4 is provided with several guide ribs 43. In order to facilitate the engagement of the end of the first rod 2 with the mounting hole 41 on the base plate 4, several guide ribs 43 are provided on the base plate 4, so that the guide ribs 43 serve to guide the first rod 2 during assembly. On the other hand, the guide ribs 43 also serve as reinforcing ribs of the base plate 4, and further limit the position of the first rod 2 and restrict its loosening.

[0046] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the second rod 3 is also provided with several ribs, which serve as reinforcing ribs.

[0047] A further improvement is that the cross-sectional shape of the first rod 2 and the second rod 3 is a regular polygon, preferably a regular octagon. Typically, existing rod cross-sectional shapes are mostly regular hexagons; however, only two hexagonal frontal faces are available. Improving the cross-sectional shape of the rod to a regular octagon provides four selectable frontal faces, increasing its applicability.

[0048] Preferably, the equipment base 1 is also provided with a foolproof inclined surface 11 so that assembly and construction personnel can distinguish the front and back of the warning equipment.

[0049] In some embodiments, the end of the extension plate of the monitoring and capture module 6, on which the camera is mounted, faces the same direction relative to the second rod 3 as the anti-foolproof inclined surface 11 on the device base 1. That is, the camera faces the same direction as the main oncoming surface of the warning device, which is both aesthetically pleasing and ensures that the monitoring and capture module is at a reasonable angle during operation.

[0050] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of this application, but the implementation of this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of this application shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of this application.
