DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] See also Figures 1-6 The present invention provides an intelligent highway road cone, including a positioning cylinder 100, a road cone body 200 and a telescopic mechanism 300.

[0049] Positioning cylinder 100, which is vertically fixed to the highway guardrail. It serves as the base point for positioning the smart road cone and can determine the initial position of the road cone body 200. During installation, positioning cylinder 100 can be fixed to the highway guardrail post via a connector, ensuring that the road cone body 200 is positioned outside the highway guardrail when not in use.

[0050] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 As shown, a road cone body 200 is equipped with a roller assembly 400 at its bottom. The road cone body 200 serves as a traffic barrier. When a vehicle breaks down on a highway, it can be moved to the emergency lane. The roller assembly 400 can then be used to move the cone body 200 from its initial position (i.e., at the positioning cylinder 100) to the emergency lane of the highway, providing a warning to drivers of following vehicles and preventing traffic accidents.

[0051] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 300 includes a telescopic member 310, an elastic member 320, and a retractable assembly. The two ends of the telescopic member 310 are respectively connected to the positioning cylinder 100 and the road cone body 200 and can only be retracted in a direction perpendicular to the width of the highway; the elastic member 320 is assembled on the telescopic member 310, and the elastic member 320 can make the telescopic member 310 in the longest state in the normal state; the retractable assembly includes a coaxially rotatable assembly inside the mounting cavity 130. A rotating shaft 330, a winding drum 340 mounted on the rotating shaft 330, and a wire rope 350 wound on the winding drum 340. One end of the wire rope 350 extends through a reserved through-hole in the positioning cylinder 100 and is fixedly connected to the road cone body 200. The retractable assembly also includes a drive component that can drive the rotating shaft 330 to retract and extend the wire rope 350, thereby shortening the telescopic member 310 to compress the elastic member 320 or lengthening the telescopic member 310 to relieve compression of the elastic member 320.

[0052] The telescopic mechanism 300, as a connector connecting the traffic cone body 200 and the positioning cylinder 100, not only serves as a connection but also as a drive. The connection prevents the traffic cone body 200 from being lost (for example, if the traffic cone body 200 is placed directly next to the highway and strong winds cause it to be blown away or lost due to human error). The telescopic mechanism 300 in this technical solution serves as a connection to prevent such situations. The drive allows the traffic cone body 200 to automatically move from the position where it moves to the positioning cylinder 100, i.e., the highway guardrail, to the emergency lane of the highway, providing convenient operation.

[0053] Specifically, initially, the wire rope 350 released by the reel 340 on the rotating shaft 330 is at its shortest. At this time, the road cone body 200 is close to the positioning cylinder 100 and is located outside the highway guardrail. The telescopic member 310 is at its shortest state, and the elastic member 320 is compressed (e.g., Figure 1 When a vehicle breaks down and the driver parks the vehicle in the emergency lane of the highway, he or she can select a smart road cone at a suitable location behind the vehicle and activate the corresponding driving component, causing the driving component to rotate the rotating shaft 330, thereby causing the rotating shaft 330 to drive the wire rope 350 released by the winding drum 340. As the winding drum 340 continuously releases the wire rope 350, the elastic member 320 recovers its deformation, causing the telescopic member 310 to extend, thereby pushing the road cone body 200 into the highway. When the road cone body 200 moves to a suitable position, the driving component can be stopped. At this time, the road cone body 200 blocks the vehicle at a suitable position behind the vehicle (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 6As shown in FIG, a warning is given to the driver of the following vehicle to avoid a traffic accident. When the driver's vehicle is inspected, the driver can retract the road cone body 200 to its original position through the driving component.

[0054] In other embodiments, the intelligent road cone also includes a remote control system that monitors highway conditions via cameras installed along the highway. If a driver stops in the emergency lane without using the road cone, highway facility personnel can use the remote control to control the drive component to rotate the rotating shaft 330, thereby controlling the movement of the road cone body 200 into the emergency lane of the highway. This serves as a warning to drivers of following vehicles and prevents traffic accidents. This remote control system is conventional technology and includes a remote signal receiver, a remote signal generator, and other components, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0055] For the setting of the smart road cones of this technical solution, adaptive settings such as intervals of 20m, 30m or 40m can be selected along the length of the highway, or intervals can be selected in accident-prone areas.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the telescopic member 310 includes a plurality of hinged rods 311, the number of the hinged rods 311 is an even number, and the ends of the plurality of hinged rods 311 are connected by being hinged to the hinge block 312, and two adjacent hinged rods 311 can be flipped along the hinge axis hinged to the hinge block 312 to the side surfaces in the length direction of the two and tightly adhere to each other. One end of the two hinged rods 311 located at both ends of the telescopic member 310 is hinged to the bottom of the positioning cylinder 100 and the road cone body 200, respectively. Based on the above design, the hinged rods 311 are capable of rotating along their hinge axes with the hinged blocks 312. When shortening, adjacent hinged rods 311 can be rotated so that their lengthwise sides abut against each other, minimizing their size and allowing the traffic cone body 200 to retract outside the highway guardrail without affecting normal vehicle movement. When extending, the hinged rods 311 form a straight line, pushing the traffic cone body 200 into the highway, significantly increasing its retractable range.

[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 Specifically, the elastic member 320 is a torsion spring, which is mounted on the hinge axis between the hinge block 312 and the hinge rod 311. In its normal state, the angle between the two connected hinge rods 311 is 170 degrees. Based on this design, when the wire rope 350 is reeled in, the telescopic member 310 can fold along this 170-degree angle, compressing the torsion spring.

[0058] like Figure 4As shown, a partition 110 is provided at the top of the positioning cylinder 100 to separate the interior of the positioning cylinder 100 from top to bottom into a drive chamber 120 and a mounting chamber 130. A solar panel (not shown) is provided on the positioning cylinder 100, and a battery (not shown) is provided within the mounting chamber 130. The solar panel converts solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery, which then supplies power to the user, thus saving energy and being environmentally friendly, without the need for an external power source.

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the driving component includes a stepper motor 360 and a brake member 370, the stepper motor 360 is fixed to the top of the driving cavity 120, and the output end of the stepper motor 360 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 330, the brake member 370 includes a brake disc 371 fixedly assembled on the rotating shaft 330 and a first electric telescopic rod 372 horizontally arranged on one side of the brake disc 371, the fixed end of the first electric telescopic rod 372 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 through a fixing member, and the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 372 is fixed with a brake pad 373 adapted to the brake disc 371. When the traffic cone body 200 needs to be moved, the brake member 370 of the driving component is first unlocked. Specifically, the first electrically-operated telescopic rod 372 drives the brake pad 373 away from the brake disc 371 on the rotating shaft 330, thereby locking the rotating shaft 330. The stepper motor 360 then drives the rotating shaft 330 to rotate and release the wire rope 350. After the wire rope 350 is released, the first electrically-operated telescopic rod 372 drives the brake pad 373 to contact the brake disc 371 on the rotating shaft 330, thereby locking the rotating shaft 330.

[0060] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the driving component is a brake motor, which is assembled within the drive chamber 120, and the output end of the brake motor is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 330. In use, when the brake motor is connected to a power source, the brake motor also operates. Due to the electromagnetic attraction, the electromagnet attracts the armature and compresses the spring, the brake disc 371 is disengaged from the armature end cover, and the brake motor begins to operate. When the power is cut off, the brake motor electromagnet loses its magnetic attraction, the spring pushes the armature to press the brake disc, and the brake motor immediately stops operating under the action of friction torque. When the brake motor stops working, the rotating shaft 330 can be braked.

[0061] See also Figures 1-15 The present invention also provides a highway intelligent road cone isolation facility, comprising intelligent road cones arranged at equal intervals on both sides of the highway along the length direction thereof and a transmission mechanism arranged between adjacent intelligent road cones;

[0062] like Figure 7-Figure 9As shown, the transmission mechanism includes a connecting shell 500, a first gear 600 and a second gear 700, a transmission chain 800 and a trigger-type locking assembly 900; the connecting shell 500 is arranged between adjacent positioning cylinders 100, and the interior of the connecting shell 500 is communicated with the interior of the mounting cavity 130; the first gear 600 is fixedly assembled on the rotating shaft 330, the second gear 700 is rotatably assembled on the rotating shaft 330, and the first gear 600 and the second gear 700 are at the same height as the connecting shell 500, and the first gear 600 on any of the rotating shafts 330 and its adjacent rotating shaft 3 30 is in the same level; a transmission chain 800 is provided between the first gear 600 and the second gear 700 inside the connecting shell 500; the trigger-type locking assembly 900 has two states, namely a locked state and an unlocked state. When the trigger-type locking assembly 900 is in the locked state, the relative circumferential rotation of the second gear 700 and the rotating shaft 330 can be locked; when the trigger-type locking assembly 900 is in the unlocked state, the relative circumferential rotation of the second gear 700 and the rotating shaft 330 can be released; the diameter of the first gear 600 is smaller than the diameter of the second gear 700.

[0063] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, specifically, the trigger-type locking assembly 900 includes: a fixed plate 910, the fixed plate 910 is fixed on the rotating shaft 330 above the second gear 700, and the bottom of the fixed plate 910 is evenly provided with a clamping strip 920 close to the rotating shaft 330 along its circumferential direction; a movable plate 930, the movable plate 930 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 330 between the fixed plate 910 and the second gear 700, and a clamping slot for the clamping strip 920 is reserved on the movable plate 930; a reset spring Spring 940, the return spring 940 is arranged between the movable disk 930 and the fixed disk 910, the bottom of the movable disk 930 is provided with a first friction ring 950, and the upper side of the second gear 700 is provided with a second friction ring 960 adapted to the first friction ring 950; magnet 970, the magnet 970 is evenly fixed on the upper side of the movable disk 930 along the circumferential direction; electromagnet 980, the electromagnet 980 is fixed on the lower side of the fixed disk 910 and corresponds to the magnet 970.

[0064] Taking the activated smart road cone as A1, when A1 is activated, that is, after power is applied, the electromagnet 980 of the trigger-type locking assembly 900 generates magnetism, which in turn attracts the magnet 970 on the movable plate 930, causing the movable plate 930 to move toward the fixed plate 910 and squeeze the return spring 940, thereby causing the first friction ring 950 of the movable plate 930 to disengage from the second friction ring 960 of the second gear 700, thereby releasing the lock on the relative circumferential rotation of the second gear 700 and the rotating shaft 330 (refer to Figure 13-Figure 12 ).

[0065] Of course, it is not limited to this. Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the trigger-type locking assembly 900 includes a fixing ring 990 fixed to the rotating shaft 330 above the second gear 700, and a second electric telescopic rod 1000 fixed below the fixing ring 990. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod 1000 is provided with a first brake block 1010, and a third friction ring 1020 is provided on the upper side of the second gear 700 below the brake block. When A1 is activated, the second electric telescopic rod 1000 can drive the first brake block 1010 to disengage from the third friction ring 1020 of the second gear 700, releasing the lock on the relative circumferential rotation of the second gear 700 and the rotating shaft 330.

[0066] like Figure 11 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown in the figure, when a driver has a traffic accident on a highway, the driver or traffic police can activate the driving component of the corresponding smart road cone behind the accident. For ease of understanding, the activated smart road cone is A1, the smart road cone in front of A1 is A0, and the smart road cones behind it are A2, A3, A4 and A5 respectively; when the driving component of the smart road cone A1 is activated, the trigger-type locking component 900 of A1 is triggered and the trigger-type locking component 900 of A1 is unlocked, which can release the first lock of A1. The second gear 700 and the rotating shaft 330 are locked in relative circumferential rotation. At this time, when the A1 stepping motor 360 drives its rotating shaft 330 to rotate and release the wire rope 350, since the A1 rotating shaft 330 and the second gear 700 can rotate relative to each other, the rotating shaft 330 of A1 will not drive the rotating shaft 330 of A0 to rotate. However, when the rotating shaft 330 of A1 rotates, it can drive the second gear 700 of A2 to rotate through the first gear 600 and the transmission chain 800, thereby driving the rotating shaft 330 of A2 to rotate. The rotating shaft 330 also rotates synchronously to release the wire rope 350. Similarly, the rotation of the A2 rotating shaft 330 will drive the A3 rotating shaft 330 to rotate, the rotation of the A3 rotating shaft 330 will drive the A4 rotating shaft 330 to rotate... The rotation of the A4 rotating shaft 330 will drive the A5 rotating shaft 330 to rotate. That is, when the A1 rotating shaft 330 rotates, the rotating shafts 330 of A2, A3, A4 and A5 behind it rotate to release the wire rope 350. And because A2, A3, A4 and A5 are connected by A1 through gears, Therefore, in the specific use process, the number of revolutions of the A2, A3, A4 and A5 rotating shafts 330 can be changed by changing the ratio between the first gear 600 and the second gear 700, thereby changing the length of the A2, A3, A4 and A5 release wire rope 350, thereby changing the distance that the A2, A3, A4 and A5 traffic cone bodies 200 move toward the highway, so that the A2, A3, A4 and A5 traffic cone bodies 200 form an inclined isolation zone (refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, when a driver causes a traffic accident on a highway, by activating the driving component of the corresponding smart road cone behind the accident, multiple road cone bodies 200 behind the accident can be synchronously moved toward the highway in a predetermined manner, thereby quickly deploying a separation zone and avoiding the occurrence of traffic accidents.

[0067] It should be noted that the specific number of smart cones required to form the isolation zone can be adaptively set based on the spacing between the smart cones. When the spacing between the smart cones is small, more smart cones are required to form the isolation zone. When the spacing between the smart cones is large, fewer smart cones can be used to form the isolation zone. After the specific number of smart cones required to form the isolation zone is determined, the driving component of A1 is activated, and the driven smart cone brake 370 behind it simultaneously releases the lock on the rotating shaft 330.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
