Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of road engineering equipment, in particular to a traffic cone collecting and placing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to deal with sudden accidents or construction scenes, traffic police or highway departments need to place traffic cones on the road to guide vehicle travel. In the past, traffic cones need to be collected and placed manually. However, in the highway environment, manual collection and placement are dangerous and inefficient. Therefore, manufacturers have developed traffic cone collecting and placing devices that can be installed on a truck. The driver drives the truck forward or backward, and the traffic cone collecting and placing device on the truck can automatically collect or place traffic cones.

[0003] The existing traffic cone collecting and placing device is usually provided with a cone collecting assembly close to the ground. As the truck backs up, the traffic cones on the road can be first collected and positioned by the cone collecting assembly, and then moved to the cone collecting assembly by the extraction assembly rotatingly arranged on the traffic cone collecting and placing device to extract the traffic cones, and then rotated to the cone storage assembly to place the traffic cones in the cone storage assembly for storage.

[0004] However, the multiple traffic cones on the road surface may not be arranged in a straight line. At this time, in order to enable the cone collecting assembly to collect the traffic cones on the road surface, various methods can be used. One method requires the driver to accurately control the vehicle so that the cone collecting assembly can be directly opposite the traffic cone to be collected. This process requires the driver's control skills and is inconvenient to use. Another method changes the cone collecting assembly to be able to move left and right. During the process of the truck backing up, the worker can control the cone collecting assembly on the truck to move so that the cone collecting assembly can be directly opposite the traffic cone to be collected. However, this also has problems. The position of the moved cone collecting assembly is not fixed, and the extraction assembly cannot accurately extract the traffic cone from the cone collecting assembly. Therefore, various position detection sensors need to be installed on the traffic cone collecting and placing device to detect the position of the cone collecting assembly, and the internal program logic also needs to be improved to enable the cone collecting process to run stably, which greatly increases the production and manufacturing cost of the traffic cone collecting and placing device. SUMMARY

[0035] In addition, it should be noted that the direction in which the first horizontal moving mechanism 400 drives the horizontal movement of the linkage base 110 is usually the left and right direction of the vehicle.

[0036] The traffic cone 900 collecting and releasing device can be placed on the truck, when it is needed to place the traffic cone 900 on the road surface, the worker drives the truck forward, the extracting assembly 200 obtains the traffic cone 900 from the cone storage assembly 500, and then rotates by a preset angle, the first horizontal moving mechanism 400 drives the horizontal movement of the linkage base 110, so as to change the position of the extracting assembly 200 for placing the traffic cone 900 on the road surface, when it is needed to collect the traffic cone 900 on the road surface, the worker can drive the truck backward, and drive the horizontal movement of the linkage base 110 through the first horizontal moving mechanism 400, so that the cone collecting assembly 300 can be opposite to the traffic cone 900 on the road surface, thereby the traffic cone 900 can be collected, since the cone storage assembly 500, the extracting assembly 200 and the cone collecting assembly 300 are all arranged on the linkage base 110, the relative position relationship between the cone storage assembly 500, the extracting assembly 200 and the cone collecting assembly 300 will not be changed, the extracting assembly 200 rotates by a preset angle and can correspond to the cone collecting assembly 300, so as to obtain the traffic cone 900 from the cone collecting assembly 300, and then the extracting assembly 200 rotates by a preset angle and can reach the position corresponding to the cone storage assembly 500, so as to store the traffic cone 900 in the cone storage assembly 500, the design is stable and reliable in operation, reasonable in production cost and convenient to use.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, when collecting a plurality of traffic cones 900 on the road surface, the cone collecting assembly 300 collects one traffic cone 900 each time, and then the extracting assembly 200 extracts the traffic cone 900 in the cone collecting assembly 300, and then the extracting assembly 200 rotates to the cone storage assembly 500 to store the traffic cone 900 in the cone storage assembly 500, and at the same time, the cone collecting assembly 300 collects the next traffic cone 900, so the control module 800 can control the extracting assembly 200 to rotate relative to the linkage base 110 to reciprocate between the cone storage assembly 500 and the cone collecting assembly 300, so as to collect a plurality of traffic cones 900 on the road surface.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the extracting assembly 200 comprises a first support 210, a rotating mechanism 220, a lifting mechanism 230, a support rod 240, and an extracting piece 250, the first support 210 is arranged on the linkage base 110 through the rotating mechanism 220 to realize that the first support 210 is rotationally arranged on the linkage base 110, the lifting mechanism 230 is arranged on the first support 210, the lifting mechanism 230 is connected with the support rod 240 to be able to drive the support rod 240 to lift, the support rod 240 is connected with the extracting piece 250, and the extracting piece 250 is used for taking and placing the traffic cone 900, wherein the support rod 240 is arranged along the radial direction of the rotation of the rotating mechanism 220. Figure 1 、 2

[0039] The first support 210 can be in the form of a column, and the rotating mechanism 220 can comprise a first driving piece 221 and a rotating disc 222, the first driving piece 221 can be a motor or a rotary cylinder, the first driving piece 221 is arranged on the linkage base 110, the first driving piece 221 is connected with the rotating disc 222 to be able to drive the rotating disc 222 to rotate, and the first support 210 is arranged on the rotating disc 222.

[0040] The lifting mechanism 230 can comprise a first sliding rail 231, a first sliding seat 232, and a second driving piece 233, the first sliding rail 231 is arranged along the height direction of the lifting mechanism 230, the first sliding seat 232 is slidingly arranged on the first sliding rail 231, the support rod 240 is connected with the first sliding seat 232, and the second driving piece 233 can be composed of a motor, a roller, and a belt, the belt can be used to drive the first sliding seat 232 to move along the first sliding rail 231, so as to drive the support rod 240 to lift.

[0041] The extracting piece 250 can be selected from conventional clamping jaw components, air suction components, or magnetic suction components, and correspondingly, the traffic cone 900 can be taken and placed by clamping, air suction, or magnetic suction.

[0042] ​The support rod 240 can extend the position of the extracting member 250 outwardly, so that the rotating track of the extracting member 250 is circular, and the extracting member 250 is generally above the storage cone assembly 500 and the collecting cone assembly 300, so that the extracting member 250 can extract or place the traffic cone 900 from above.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The collecting cone assembly 300 includes a second support 310 and a positioning fork 320, the second support 310 is arranged on the linkage base 110, and the positioning fork 320 is arranged on the second support 310 in a rotating manner, the positioning fork 320 can rotate relative to the second support 310 to expand or close, and the positioning fork 320 is provided with an open slot 321, when the positioning fork 320 expands relative to the second support 310, the traffic cone 900 can enter the open slot 321 to be limited.

[0044] The third driving member 330 is arranged on the second support 310 and connected with the positioning fork 320 to drive the positioning fork 320 to rotate relative to the second support 310, when the extracting assembly 200 takes out the traffic cone 900 from the storage cone assembly 500 and moves to arrange on the road surface, the positioning fork 320 can close relative to the surface of the second support 310, so as to reduce the obstruction to the extracting assembly 200 to place the traffic cone 900, and when the traffic cone 900 on the road surface needs to be collected, the positioning fork 320 can expand relative to the second support 310, the positioning fork 320 is close to the ground, and the open slot 321 faces the traffic cone 900, after the traffic cone 900 enters the open slot 321, it is positioned, and then the extracting assembly 200 obtains the traffic cone 900 from the positioning fork 320.

[0045] Because it is not easy for the staff to control the positioning fork 320 to face the traffic cone 900 when collecting the traffic cone 900 on the road surface, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The slot position of the open slot 321 is provided with a guide portion 322, the guide portion 322 narrows the slot width at the slot position of the open slot 321, that is, the slot width of the open slot 321 is large at first and then gradually narrows, specifically, the inner wall of the slot of the open slot 321 is provided with an inclined surface or an arc surface, the wider slot facilitates the traffic cone 900 to enter, and the narrowing of the width of the open slot 321 is beneficial to limit the position of the traffic cone 900.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the first horizontal moving mechanism 400 comprises a second sliding rail 410 arranged on the base 100, a second sliding seat 420 and a fourth driving member 430, the second sliding rail 410 is arranged on the base 100 in the left-right horizontal moving direction, the second sliding seat 420 is slidingly arranged on the second sliding rail 410, the linkage base 110 is arranged on the second sliding seat 420, and the fourth driving member 430 can be composed of a motor, a roller and a belt, the belt can drive the second sliding seat 420 to move along the second sliding rail 410, thereby driving the linkage base 110 to move horizontally.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 、 4 The cone collecting assembly 300 further comprises a second horizontal moving mechanism 600 arranged on the linkage base 110, and the second horizontal moving mechanism 600 is connected with the second support 310 to drive the second support 310 to move horizontally.

[0048] On the road, the placing position of the traffic cone 900 is not fixed, which can be deviated to the left side of the vehicle or the right side of the vehicle, for example, when the traffic cone 900 is deviated to the left side of the vehicle, and the extracting member 250 is located on the right side of the vehicle, at this time, the range of the linkage base 110 moving and driving the extracting member 250 to adjust left and right by the first horizontal moving mechanism is small, which is not conducive to the operation of the worker.

[0049] By arranging the second horizontal moving mechanism 600, the second horizontal moving mechanism 600 can drive the second support 310 to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the position of the positioning fork 320, so that the positioning fork 320 is better aligned with the traffic cone 900 in the subsequent work, specifically, the control module 800 can be electrically connected with the second horizontal moving mechanism 600 to control the operation of the second horizontal moving mechanism 600.

[0050] It should be noted that the adjustment of the second horizontal moving mechanism 600 to the second support 310 to move horizontally is completed before the process of collecting the traffic cone 900, when the second horizontal moving mechanism 600 completes the adjustment to the second support 310, the control module 800 needs to know or record the position of the positioning fork 320 at this time in order to control the extracting assembly 200 to extract the traffic cone 900 from the positioning fork 320 in the subsequent process, so that in the subsequent collection process, the relative position of the positioning fork 320 and the linkage base 110 will not change, and before the collection process, the control module 800 also needs to redefine the position of the positioning fork, so as to ensure that the control module can accurately control the extracting member to move above the positioning fork in the process of the control module controlling the extracting member to operate, so as to facilitate the extraction of the traffic cone.

[0051] Specifically, the second transverse movement mechanism 600 includes a third slide rail 610, a third sliding seat 620 and a fifth driving member 630. The third slide rail 610 is arranged on the linkage base 110 along the left and right transverse movement direction. The third sliding seat 620 is slidably set on the third slide rail 610. The second bracket 310 is set on the third sliding seat 620. The fifth driving member 630 can be composed of a motor, a roller and a belt. The belt can be used to drive the third sliding seat 620 to move along the third slide rail 610, thereby driving the second bracket 310 to move left and right.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the second bracket 310 translates left and right to be able to switch between the first working position and the second working position. In the first working position and the second working position, the position of the open groove 321 of the second bracket 310 is opposite to the circumferential path passed by the extraction member 250 of the extraction assembly 200.

[0053] The first working position and the second working position are generally set on the left and right sides of the third slide rail 610, and can be specifically located at the left and right ends of the third slide rail 610. The internal program of the control module 800 records the first working position and the second working position. Regardless of whether the second bracket 310 is translated to the first working position or the second working position, the position of the open groove 321 is located below the circumferential path passed by the extraction member 250. For example, after the control module 800 controls the second bracket 310 to move to the first working position, the control module 800 uses the program logic of the internally recorded first working position to control the extraction member 250 to reciprocate between the storage cone assembly 500 and the positioning fork 320.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the linkage base 110 is strip-shaped, the cone-retracting assembly 300 is arranged at one end of the linkage base 110, and an auxiliary guide mechanism 700 is further provided between the base 100 and one end of the linkage base 110. The linkage base 110 can move left and right relative to the base 100 along the auxiliary guide mechanism 700. Since the linkage base 110 has a certain volume and the cone-retracting assembly 300 has a certain weight, the auxiliary guide mechanism 700 can assist the movement of the linkage base 110 and play a supporting role for the end of the linkage base 110 on which the cone-retracting assembly 300 is provided.

[0055] Specifically, the auxiliary guide mechanism 700 includes a fourth slide rail 710 and a fourth sliding seat 720. The fourth slide rail 710 is arranged on the base 100 along the left and right lateral movement direction. The fourth sliding seat 720 is slidably set on the fourth slide rail 710, and one end of the linkage base 110 is connected to the fourth sliding seat 720.

[0056] Specifically, the base can be in the shape of a table, the first horizontal moving mechanism can be arranged on the upper surface of the base, and the auxiliary guide mechanism 700 is located on the side wall of the base. The linkage base 110 can be in the shape of a bend, one part of the linkage base 110 is matched with the first horizontal moving mechanism, and the other part of the linkage base 110 after bending is matched with the auxiliary guide mechanism 700.

[0057] The fourth driving member 430 can drive the linkage base 110 to move left and right, at this time, the auxiliary guide mechanism 700 also assists and supports the linkage base 110, so that the movement is more stable and smooth.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the traffic cone storage assembly 500 comprises a positioning protruding column arranged on the linkage base 110, the traffic cone 900 can be sleeved on the positioning protruding column, and the position of the positioning protruding column is opposite to the circumferential path passed by the extracting member 250 of the extracting assembly 200.

[0059] A plurality of traffic cones 900 can be stacked on each other and finally inserted into the positioning protruding column, and the extracting member 250 can be located above the positioning protruding column to extract or store the traffic cones 900.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 The end of the positioning protruding column is also provided with a friction increasing protruding block, after the traffic cone is sleeved on the positioning protruding column, the friction increasing protruding block can be attached to the inner surface of the traffic cone, so as to prevent the traffic cone from loosening by using friction, so that a plurality of traffic cones can also be stably stacked and sleeved on the positioning protruding column.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, an object detection module 810 arranged on the linkage base 110 is further included, the object detection module 810 is used for detecting whether the traffic cone 900 is stored on the traffic cone storage assembly 500, and the control module 800 is electrically connected with the object detection module 810 and the extracting assembly 200 respectively to control the operation of the extracting assembly 200.

[0062] The object detection module 810 can be a photoelectric sensor, a magnetic induction sensor, etc., and the control module 800 controls the extracting assembly 200 to extract the traffic cone 900 from the traffic cone storage assembly 500 only after knowing that the traffic cone 900 is stored on the traffic cone storage assembly 500, so that the control is more reasonable and efficient.

[0063] For example, the object detection module 810 selects a photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor faces the traffic cone storage assembly, when the traffic cone exists in the traffic cone storage assembly, the light will be reflected, and the control module knows whether the traffic cone 900 is stored in the traffic cone storage assembly 500.

[0064] In addition, the traffic cone collecting and placing device can further comprise an alarm module, wherein the alarm module can comprise a warning light or a sound alarm, the control module is connected with the alarm module, and the control module controls the alarm module to alarm when it is learned that the cone storage assembly 500 is out of traffic cones 900, so that the workers can timely supplement the traffic cones 900 to the cone storage assembly 500, so that the control module 800 can control the extraction assembly 200 to extract the traffic cones for placing.

[0065] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described, but it is understood that the scope of the present disclosure includes all such possible combinations.

[0066] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it should be understood by those ordinary skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
