Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traffic engineering technology, and in particular to a traffic flow guidance warning device for tidal lanes. Background Technology

[0002] A tidal flow lane is a lane on a road that allows vehicles to change their direction of travel according to traffic flow demand. Within cities, one or more lanes with specified vehicle directions are designated to change at different times of day, depending on the varying traffic volumes during the day and evening.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for switching between tidal flow lanes are: traffic police adjusting the lane direction at any time based on the traffic situation and the control of the variable-direction lane signs; and using vehicles with movable guardrails to move the guardrails to control the direction of traffic. However, these methods are inconvenient and have drawbacks such as affecting the driver's visibility, obstructing emergency avoidance space, and increasing the risk of vehicles colliding with guardrails. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a traffic flow guidance warning device for tidal flow lanes. This device utilizes different vibrations, with weaker vibrations in the direction of travel and stronger vibrations in the direction of inaccessibility, to warn drivers of the direction of travel in tidal flow lanes and to prevent damage to vehicles and drivers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A traffic flow guidance warning device for a tidal flow lane includes guidance warning devices installed on both sides of the tidal flow lane. The guidance warning device includes a support platform and an inner frame disposed on the support platform. An outer rubber strip is provided on the outside of the inner frame, and the outer rubber strip is capable of relative rotation with the inner frame.

[0007] The inner wall of the inner frame is provided with a plurality of first support rods. The tops of the plurality of first support rods are fixedly connected to the inner frame through a support platform pivot, and the bottoms of the plurality of first support rods are fixedly connected to the support platform.

[0008] A gear is provided on one side of the outer rubber strip, and a rotating wheel is provided on the gear. The rotating wheel meshes with the gear, and a second support rod is provided in the middle of the rotating wheel. The second support rod is connected to the support platform through the support platform shaft, so that the support platform shaft drives the rotating wheel and the gear to rotate, thereby driving the outer rubber strip to rotate.

[0009] The outer rubber strip has a base on its outer side, and the base is fixedly connected to the ground by rivets.

[0010] Preferably, the guiding warning device further includes a brush located on the outer side of the outer rubber strip, the bottom of the brush having a hole, the bottom of the brush being connected to a channel, the channel being located on the base, and the channel being used to drain the debris and water cleaned by the brush.

[0011] Preferably, the groove between the base and the gear is filled with a ball bearing, and the two ends of the ball bearing are provided with limiters. The ball bearing is not welded and fixed, and can rotate in the groove, with its position limited by the limiters.

[0012] Preferably, the outer rubber strip includes several first smooth metal barrier strips, a rubber anti-slip strip with a reflective warning layer, and a second smooth metal barrier strip; the several first smooth metal barrier strips, the rubber anti-slip strip with a reflective warning layer, and the second smooth metal barrier strip are arranged in a circumferential pattern at intervals.

[0013] Preferably, the inner frame is a metal elliptical frame.

[0014] Preferably, the base is made of high-strength concrete and is coated with a hydrophobic coating.

[0015] Preferably, the support platform is a concrete support platform.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the guiding warning device is installed on both sides of the tidal flow lane. When it is necessary to change the driving direction of the tidal flow lane, the gear can be turned by remote control, and at the same time the traffic warning sign above the lane will change to show the driving direction of the tidal flow lane at that moment.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This invention utilizes different vibrations, with weaker vibrations in the direction of travel and stronger vibrations in the direction of inaccessibility, to warn drivers of the direction of travel in the tidal flow lane, and to avoid causing damage to vehicles and drivers.

[0019] 2. This invention can remotely control the gear to rotate, and at the same time the traffic warning sign above the lane changes to show the driving direction of the tidal lane at that moment.

[0020] 3. This invention has a self-cleaning device and is easy to install, making it convenient to disassemble and replace if damaged. Attached Figure Description

The embodiments described in this invention are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-9 A traffic flow guidance warning device for a tidal flow lane includes guidance warning devices installed on both sides of the tidal flow lane. The guidance warning device includes a support platform 12 and an inner frame 6 disposed on the support platform 12. An outer rubber strip 5 is provided on the outer side of the inner frame 6, and the outer rubber strip 5 is capable of relative rotation with the inner frame 6.

[0032] The inner frame 6 has several first support rods 21 on its inner wall. The tops of the first support rods 21 are fixedly connected to the inner frame 6 via a support platform pivot 13, and the bottoms of the first support rods 21 are fixedly connected to the support platform 12. The first support rod 21 is a cylindrical metal rod with a diameter of 4mm, which serves as a support and connection, and is fixedly connected to the support platform pivot 13 and cannot be rotated.

[0033] A gear 4 is provided on one side of the outer rubber strip 5. A rotating wheel 3 is provided on the gear 4. The rotating wheel 3 meshes with the gear 4. A second support rod 22 is provided in the middle of the rotating wheel 3. The second support rod 22 is connected to the support platform 12 through the support platform rotating shaft 13, so that the support platform rotating shaft 13 drives the rotating wheel 3 and the gear 4 to rotate, thereby driving the outer rubber strip 5 to rotate.

[0034] In practical applications, the rotating wheel 3 is 8mm wide and 6mm in diameter, the gear 4 is 8mm wide and is fixedly connected to the outer rubber strip 5, and the second support rod 22 is 3mm in diameter and is positioned at 1 / 4 and 3 / 4 of the guide warning device. The rotating wheel 3 can be remotely controlled to rotate, driving the gear 4 to rotate the outer rubber strip 5, thus allowing the outer rubber strip 5 to switch between two states. The rotating wheel 3, gear 4, and second support rod 22 are all made of metal.

[0035] The outer rubber strip 5 is provided with a base 1 on its outer side, and the base 1 is fixedly connected to the ground by rivets 7.

[0036] Specifically, the guiding warning device also includes a brush 9 located on the outer side of the outer rubber strip 5. The bottom of the brush 9 has a hole and is connected to a channel 8. The channel 8 is located on the base 1 and is used to drain the debris and water cleaned by the brush 9.

[0037] In this embodiment, the brush 9 is used to clean the outer rubber strip 5, and the cleaned debris and water can be discharged through the channel 8.

[0038] Specifically, the groove between the base 1 and the gear 4 is filled with ball bearings 10. Each ball bearing 10 has a limiter 11 at both ends. The ball bearing 10 is not welded in place and can rotate within the groove, its position limited by the limiter 11. The limiter 11 extends 3mm above the base and has a wall thickness of 2mm. It is installed within the groove of the base 1, and multiple ball bearings 10 are placed inside the limiter 11 to restrict their position. These ball bearings 10 are small metal beads that provide support without restricting the rotation of the gear 4.

[0039] Specifically, the outer rubber strip 5 includes several first smooth metal barrier strips, rubber anti-slip strips with reflective warning stickers, and second smooth metal barrier strips; the several first smooth metal barrier strips, rubber anti-slip strips with reflective warning stickers, and second smooth metal barrier strips are arranged in a circumferential pattern at intervals.

[0040] In practical applications, the outer rubber strip 5 is 1000mm long, and the first smooth metal barrier strip, the rubber anti-slip strip with reflective warning sticker, and the second smooth metal barrier strip are 1 / 4 of the circumference.

[0041] The inner frame 6 is a metal elliptical frame that provides support and is not rotatable.

[0042] The base 1 is made of high-strength concrete, with a width of 300mm and a length of 1000mm. The base 1 is coated with a hydrophobic coating to prevent water stains from remaining and corroding it.

[0043] The support platform 12 is a concrete support platform made of concrete, and is fixedly connected to the first support rod 21, the second support rod 22 and the support platform shaft 13. The support platform shaft 13 is connected to the second support rod 22 between the support platform 12 and the rotating wheel 3, so that the second support rod 22 in the middle of the rotating wheel 3 can rotate while being supported and fixed.

[0044] When using this invention, the guiding warning device is installed on both sides of the tidal flow lane. When it is necessary to change the driving direction of the tidal flow lane, the support platform shaft 13 can be remotely controlled to drive the rotating wheel 3 and gear 4 to rotate through the second support rod 22, which in turn drives the outer rubber strip 5 to rotate. At the same time, the traffic warning sign above the lane changes to show the driving direction of the tidal flow lane at that moment.

[0045] In summary, this invention uses different vibrations to warn drivers of the direction of travel in tidal flow lanes, and can avoid causing damage to vehicles and drivers.

[0046] The descriptions and practices disclosed in this invention are readily apparent and understandable to those skilled in the art, and various modifications and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of this invention. Therefore, any modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
