[0001] This invention relates to the field of monitoring device technology, and in particular to a road traffic equipment status monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Roads refer to public roads between cities, between urban and rural areas, and between rural areas that have been inspected and approved by the highway authorities and are suitable for automobiles. Traffic equipment refers to facilities such as tracks, tunnels, elevated roads, stations, ventilation shafts, electromechanical equipment, power supply systems, and communication signals that are set up to ensure the safe and normal operation of urban traffic systems, effectively guaranteeing road traffic safety.

[0003] To facilitate real-time monitoring of road traffic equipment status by staff, current methods primarily rely on surveillance devices. However, existing devices are relatively fixed in location and lack flexibility in design. Furthermore, many of these devices are powered by renewable energy sources, which often lack effective protection, leaving monitoring probes and solar panels exposed for extended periods. This exposure makes them prone to damage over time, increasing the cost of use and maintenance. Based on these issues, we propose a road traffic equipment status monitoring device. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a road traffic equipment status monitoring device, comprising a mounting column 1, a mounting base plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting column 1, a mounting top plate 4 connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate 2 by multiple vertical rods 3, a mounting ring 5 rotatably connected to the upper surface of the mounting top plate 4, and multiple solar panels connected to the outer wall of the mounting ring 5. The solar panels include connecting rods 15 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting ring 5, and a solar panel 16 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rods 15 away from the mounting ring 5. In addition, a battery (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the solar panel 16 is also connected to the side wall of the mounting top plate 4 for powering various electrical devices. The electrical connection relationship between them is existing and mature, and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The mounting ring 5 is fixedly connected to the top of an internal gear ring 6. The upper surface of the mounting top plate 4 is connected to a first adjustment mechanism for adjusting the rotation of the internal gear ring 6. The first adjustment mechanism includes a mounting rod 17 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting top plate 4. The top of the mounting rod 17 is fixedly connected to an upper top plate 18. The lower surface of the upper top plate 18 is fixedly connected to a first motor 19. The output shaft of the first motor 19 is fixedly sleeved with a spur gear 20 that meshes with the internal gear ring 6. When the first motor 19 drives the spur gear 20 to rotate, it can drive the internal gear ring 6 that meshes with it to rotate. The internal gear ring 6 can drive the mounting ring 5 at its bottom to rotate as a whole, so as to adjust the position of the solar module.

[0036] Among them, multiple mounting plates 7 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the mounting base plate 2. Each mounting plate 7 has a protective plate 14 for shielding the solar modules connected to its side walls by a special-shaped rod 13. The protective plate 14 is located above the mounting plate 7. The area of ​​the protective plate 14 is larger than that of the mounting plate 7 and the solar panel 16, which ensures better protection.

[0037] Among them, threaded rods 8 are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of multiple mounting plates 7, and two positioning plates 21 are rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rods 8. The positioning plates 21 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the corresponding mounting plates 7. A drive mechanism for driving multiple threaded rods 8 to rotate synchronously is connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate 2. The drive mechanism includes a second motor 22 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate 2. A first bevel gear 23 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the second motor 22, and a second bevel gear 24 that meshes with the first bevel gear 23 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of multiple threaded rods 8.

[0038] The threaded rod 8 has an adjusting block 9 threadedly attached to its outer surface. The bottom of the adjusting block 9 is fixedly connected to a moving rod 10. The bottom of the moving rod 10 passes through the mounting plate 7 and is fixedly connected to a movable plate 11. Multiple mounting plates 7 have movable holes 25 through their upper surfaces. The moving rod 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding movable hole 25. This ensures the stability of the moving rod 10 when it moves horizontally and prevents the moving rod 10 and the adjusting block 9 from rotating with the threaded rod 8.

[0039] The movable plate 11 has a monitoring probe 12 and a second adjustment mechanism for adjusting the angle of the monitoring probe 12 installed on its side wall. A rotating rod 26 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the movable plate 11, and a U-shaped frame 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 26. The monitoring probe 12 is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the U-shaped frame 27 via a rotating shaft 32. The second adjustment mechanism includes a third motor 28 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 11. A drive shaft 29 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 28. The bottom of the drive shaft 29 passes through the movable plate 11 and is fixedly sleeved with a first gear 30. A second gear 31 that meshes with the first gear 30 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod 26. The monitoring probe 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 32, which is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 27. The rotating shaft 32 and the U-shaped frame 27 are rigidly fitted together to ensure the stability of the monitoring probe 12.

[0040] The functional principle of this invention can be explained through the following operational methods:

[0041] When it is necessary to adjust the vertical angle of the monitoring probe 12, simply bend the monitoring probe 12 during installation. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal angle of the monitoring probe 12, start the third motor 28. The third motor 28 drives the drive shaft 29 and the first gear 30 to rotate. The first gear 30 drives the rotating rod 26 to rotate through the second gear 31 meshing with it. The rotating rod 26 drives the U-shaped frame 27 to rotate as a whole until the monitoring probe 12 is adjusted to the appropriate angle.

[0042] When the horizontal position of the monitoring probe 12 needs to be adjusted, the second motor 22 is started. The output shaft of the second motor 22 drives the first bevel gear 23 to rotate. The first bevel gear 23 drives multiple second bevel gears 24 that mesh with it to rotate. The second bevel gears 24 drive the threaded rod 8 to rotate. At this time, the adjusting block 9 can drive the moving rod 10 and the movable plate 11 to move horizontally along the threaded rod 8. After the second motor 22 is started in the reverse direction, the corresponding threaded rod 8 rotates in the reverse direction. That is, with the forward and reverse starts of the second motor 22, the moving rod 10 and the movable plate 11 can be moved inward or outward until the monitoring probe 12 is adjusted to the appropriate position.

[0043] In severe weather, the first motor 19 is started. The output shaft of the first motor 19 drives the spur gear 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the internal gear ring 6 meshing with it to rotate. The internal gear ring 6 drives the mounting ring 5 and the solar module to rotate as a whole until the solar panel 16 on the solar module moves between the mounting plate 7 and the protective plate 14. The protective plate 14 can effectively protect the solar panel 16 and the monitoring probe 12 below the mounting plate 7, thereby reducing the possibility of device damage. When the solar panel 16 needs to be used again, simply start the first motor 19 to rotate in the opposite direction. The corresponding spur gear 20 drives the internal gear ring 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the solar panel 16 moves in the opposite direction until the solar panel 16 is moved out from between the protective plate 14 and the mounting plate 7.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
