Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of highway engineering equipment technology, and in particular to an emergency traffic light with a collision protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: those for motor vehicles are called motor vehicle lights, which usually refer to signal lights composed of red, yellow, and green (green is blue-green) lights used to direct traffic.
[0003] Temporary traffic lights can help maintain traffic order and improve traffic efficiency at intersections where traffic lights malfunction due to power failure or at intersections under construction. They are very helpful in managing traffic flow.
[0004] Most existing traffic lights lack collision protection and are installed in high positions, making them easily damaged in the event of a collision. Furthermore, due to their height and the fact that most traffic lights are supported by only a single pole, they are prone to tipping over, which could lead to more serious accidents after a collision, posing a high safety hazard.
[0005] How to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is the challenge facing this invention. Summary of the Invention

[0008] A support column is installed on the base, and a support extension assembly is installed inside the base. The support extension assembly is used to extend the support area of the base in the event of a collision.
[0009] A collision buffer assembly, installed on the support column, is used to mitigate the impact of a collision on the support column;
[0010] A height adjustment assembly is installed inside the support column, and the traffic light is mounted on the height adjustment assembly to lower the height of the traffic light in the event of a collision with the support column.

[0020] A limiting plate is installed at one end of the first toothed column, and a limiting pin is slidably connected to the limiting plate. The limiting pin is installed on the base.

Detailed Implementation
[0040] The technical features of this solution can be clearly explained. The following is a detailed description of the solution through specific implementation methods.
[0041] See Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is an emergency traffic light with an anti-collision structure, including: a base 1 and a traffic light 2. The emergency traffic light with an anti-collision structure also includes:
[0042] Support column 3 is installed on base 1. Support extension component 4 is installed inside base 1. Support extension component 4 is used to extend the support area of base 1 in the event of a collision.
[0043] The anti-collision buffer assembly 5 is installed on the support column 3 to reduce the impact of a collision on the support column 3;
[0044] The height adjustment component 6 is installed inside the support column 3, and the traffic light 2 is installed on the height adjustment component 6 to lower the height of the traffic light 2 in the event of a collision with the support column 3.
[0045] When this emergency traffic light with anti-collision structure collides, the impact force received by the support column 3 is buffered by the anti-collision buffer component 5, reducing collision damage. It protects the traffic light itself and also buffers the impacted party, providing a dual protection effect. At the same time, the operation of the anti-collision buffer component 5 drives the height adjustment component 6 and the support extension component 4 to expand the support area of the base 1, improve the stability of the traffic light 2, prevent it from tipping over, and at the same time lower the height of the traffic light 2, change the center of gravity, and further improve stability and safety.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the anti-collision buffer assembly 5 includes:
[0047] A connecting frame 51 is installed on the side of the support column 3, and a fixing plate 52 is installed inside the connecting frame 51.
[0048] A sliding plate 53 is located inside the connecting frame 51. A first spring 54 is rotatably connected between the sliding plate 53 and the connecting frame 51. A collision plate 55 is installed at one end of the sliding plate 53.
[0049] Several torsion support rods 56 are rotatably connected between the sliding plate 53 and the fixed plate 52 via torsion springs, and the torsion support rods 56 are in cooperation with each other.
[0050] The guide rod 57 is installed inside the connecting frame 51, and a slider 58 is slidably connected to the guide rod 57. The slider 58 is connected to the sliding plate 53.
[0051] In use, when a collision occurs, the anti-collision plate 55 drives the sliding plate 53 to move, compressing the first spring 54. During the movement of the sliding plate 53, all the torsional support rods 56 move synchronously to make the sliding plate 53 rotate, preventing the sliding plate 53 from flipping or tipping over due to uneven force during the compression of the first spring 54, thus ensuring the stability of the movement of the sliding plate 53. At the same time, the torsional spring and the first spring 54 can provide elastic support for the sliding plate 53, improving the buffering effect.
[0052] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the supporting extension component 4 includes:
[0053] An expansion slot 41 is provided on the base 1. A first guide post 42 is installed inside the expansion slot 41. An expansion plate 43 is slidably connected to the first guide post 42. A limit slot 44 is provided on the expansion plate 43.
[0054] The second spring 45 is sleeved on the first guide post 42, and the second spring 45 cooperates with the expansion plate 43.
[0055] The first toothed column 46 is slidably connected to the base 1, and the first toothed column 46 cooperates with the limiting groove 44.
[0056] A limiting plate 47 is installed at one end of the first toothed column 46, and a limiting pin 48 is slidably connected on the limiting plate 47. The limiting pin 48 is installed on the base 1.
[0057] The first linkage component is installed inside the support column 3 and is used to drive the support extension component 4 to move through the operation of the anti-collision buffer component 5.
[0058] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the first linkage component includes:
[0059] The winding shaft 49 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support column 3 by a torsion spring. A first connecting rope 410 and a second connecting rope 411 are connected to the winding shaft 49. One end of the first connecting rope 410 is connected to the slider 58.
[0060] The first gear 412 is rotatably connected inside the base 1 by a torsion spring. The first gear 412 and the first toothed column 46 cooperate with each other. The second connecting rope 411 is connected to the first gear 412.
[0061] In use, when the sliding plate 53 moves the slider 58, the first connecting rope 410 will be released. Under the action of the torsion spring, the winding shaft 49 will rotate and wind and contract the first connecting rope 410 and the second connecting rope 411. The contraction of the second connecting rope 411 will pull the first gear 412 to rotate, causing the first gear column 46 to rise and disengage from the limiting groove 44. At this time, under the pushing action of the second spring 45, the extension plate 43 will be pushed out of the extension groove 41, thereby achieving the effect of extending the support area of the base 1.
[0062] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the height adjustment component 6 includes:
[0063] A column groove 61 is opened inside the support column 3. A second guide column 62 is installed inside the column groove 61. A second toothed column 63 is slidably connected to the second guide column 62. The traffic light 2 is installed at one end of the second toothed column 63.
[0064] The second gear 64 is rotatably connected inside the support column 3, and the second gear 64 and the second gear column 63 cooperate with each other.
[0065] The second linkage component is installed inside the support column 3 and is used to drive the second gear 64 to rotate through the operation of the anti-collision buffer component 5.
[0066] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the second linkage component includes:
[0067] The central shaft 65 is rotatably connected inside the support column 3, and a conveyor belt 66 is fitted between the central shaft 65 and the winding shaft 49 and between the central shaft 65 and the second gear 64.
[0068] When in use, when the winding shaft 49 rotates, it will drive the central shaft 65 to rotate through the transmission belt 66. The central shaft 65 will then drive the second gear 64 to rotate through the transmission belt 66. The cooperation between the second gear 64 and the second gear column 63 is used to control the traffic light 2 to descend, lower the overall center of gravity, and prevent it from tipping over.
[0069] In this embodiment of the invention, there are two of each of the support extension component 4, the anti-collision buffer component 5, and the height adjustment component 6, and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support column 3.
[0070] In summary, when this emergency traffic light with anti-collision structure collides, the impact force received by the support column 3 will be buffered by the anti-collision buffer component 5, reducing collision damage. This protects both the traffic light itself and the person involved in the collision, providing dual protection. At the same time, the operation of the anti-collision buffer component 5 will simultaneously drive the height adjustment component 6 and the support extension component 4 to expand the support area of the base 1, improve the stability of the traffic light 2, prevent it from tipping over, and lower the height of the traffic light 2, changing the center of gravity and further enhancing stability and safety.
[0071] The technical features of this invention not described can be implemented by or using existing technology, and will not be repeated here. Of course, the above description is not a limitation of this invention, and this invention is not limited to the examples above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this invention should also be within the protection scope of this invention.
