Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bus shelter technology, specifically a bus shelter with a safety protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] Bus shelters are generally used in conjunction with bus stops to provide shade and rain protection for passengers while waiting for buses. They are transportation facilities built at bus stops, along roadsides, or in green belts. Smart bus shelters are a more intelligent type of bus shelter that provides services that traditional bus shelters cannot, thereby providing better service to citizens.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN103410347B discloses a bus shelter, including a bus shelter, a solar energy system, a transmission system, a central controller, and a bus stop sign. The solar energy system is connected to the central controller and the bus stop sign through the transmission system, and is used to convert collected solar energy into electrical energy, and to store and supply the electrical energy. The central controller is connected to the bus stop sign through the transmission system, and is used to control the operation of the bus stop sign. The bus stop sign includes an electronic bus stop sign, which is controlled by the central controller and displays information, realizing the intelligentization of the bus shelter, effectively reducing the waste of paper bus route signs, and providing passengers with the latest route map in a timely manner.
[0004] However, the above solution still has certain problems in use. The bus shelter does not have a protective structure. With the continuous increase in the number of private cars, the driving skills of drivers vary greatly. If a vehicle loses control when passing the bus shelter, it will directly crash into the bus shelter, which will bring great safety hazards to passengers waiting inside the bus shelter and cannot provide passengers with a buffer time for self-rescue. Therefore, a bus shelter with a safety protection structure is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0030] 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.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment of a bus shelter with a safety protection structure includes a base 1. Two support plates 2 are fixed to the top of the base 1. Mounting holes are provided on the support plates 2, and glass windows 13 are embedded inside the mounting holes. Through the glass windows 13, waiting passengers can observe the external environment. A connecting plate 3, which is fixed to the top of the base 1, is fixed to the rear side of the support plates 2. A top plate 4 is fixed to the top of the support plates 2, and two lighting lamps 12 are fixed to the bottom of the top plate 4. The lighting lamps 12 provide illumination at night, preventing waiting passengers from being unable to see the outside environment. A water-blocking mechanism 5 extends from the inside of the base 1 to the top of the base 1. A protective mechanism 6 is provided on the top of the top plate 4. A support rod 7 is fixed to the top of the top plate 4, and a solar panel 8 is fixed to the top of the support rod 7. The solar panel 8 converts solar energy into electrical energy, thereby providing power to the bus shelter.
[0032] In this embodiment, a bus stop sign 9 is fixed to the left side of the front of the connecting plate 3. The bus stop sign 9 allows waiting passengers to check the bus stops. An advertising board 10 is fixed to the right side of the front of the connecting plate 3. An escape door is provided on the connecting plate 3. After the bus shelter is hit, waiting passengers can leave the bus shelter through the escape door, thereby reducing the possibility of secondary injury to waiting passengers. Two control buttons 11 are fixed to the front of the connecting plate 3. The control buttons 11 consist of a water-blocking button and a protective button. A protective cover is fixed to the front of the protective button. The protective cover is made of polypropylene. When the vehicle goes out of control, waiting passengers can hit the protective cover hard to break it, and then press the protective button to activate the protective mechanism 6.
[0033] It should be noted that when a vehicle loses control and crashes into the bus shelter, pressing the control button 11 will activate the protective mechanism 6. The operation of the protective mechanism 6 will block the front of the bus shelter, thereby protecting the bus shelter and improving the safety of passengers while waiting for the bus.
[0034] Please see Figure 5-6 To block rainwater, the water-blocking mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a drive assembly, three support bases 503, a sliding assembly, a roll-up door 507, a positioning rod 508, and a roll-up rod 509. A torsion spring 510 is fixed inside the roll-up rod 509. The drive assembly is located inside the base 1 and extends through to the top of the base 1. All three support bases 503 are fixed to the outer surface of the drive assembly and to the inner top wall of the base 1. The sliding assembly is located at the bottom of the drive assembly and is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the base 1. The roll-up door 507 is fixed to the top of the drive assembly. The positioning rod 508 is fixed to the front side of the top of the base 1. The roll-up rod 509 is fixed to the rear side of the top of the base 1. The roll-up door 507 contacts the outer surface of the positioning rod 508 and is fixed to the outer surface of the roll-up rod 509.
[0035] In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a first motor 501, a first threaded rod 502, and two movable rods 504. The outer surface of the first threaded rod 502 is fixed with two threaded strips of opposite directions. Each of the two movable rods 504 has a threaded through hole that matches the corresponding threaded strip. Through the threaded strips and threaded through holes, the two movable rods 504 can move in opposite directions, thereby enabling the two rolling doors 507 to move in opposite directions, thus achieving the purpose of opening and closing the rolling doors 507. The top of the base 1 has a moving hole for the movable rods 504 to move. The first motor 501 and the base 1... The left side wall of the inner cavity is fixed. The first threaded rod 502 is fixed to the output shaft of the first motor 501, and the first threaded rod 502 is rotatably connected to the inside of the base 1. Both moving rods 504 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first threaded rod 502, and the moving rods 504 extend through to the top of the base 1. When the first motor 501 is started, the first threaded rod 502 rotates, thereby driving the two moving rods 504 to move in opposite directions. Through the reverse movement of the two moving rods 504, the two rolling doors 507 can move in opposite directions, thereby achieving the purpose of opening and closing the rolling doors 507.
[0036] The sliding assembly includes two sliders 505 and a slide rail 506. The two sliders 505 are fixed to the bottom of the two moving rods 504 respectively. The slide rail 506 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliders 505 and is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the base 1. By setting the sliders 505 and the slide rail 506, the two moving rods 504 can be limited, preventing the moving rods 504 from rotating synchronously with the first threaded rod 502. The sliders 505 and the slide rail 506 can improve the stability of the moving rods 504 when they move, thereby making the movement of the rolling door 507 more stable.
[0037] It should be noted that when the roller shutter 507 needs to be retracted, pressing the control button 11 causes the first motor 501 to reverse, which in turn causes the first threaded rod 502 to reverse. The first threaded rod 502 drives the moving rod 504 to move, so that the two moving rods 504 can drive the roller shutter 507 to move in opposite directions. Then, through the action of the torsion spring 510 inside the retracting rod 509, the retracting rod 509 can retract the roller shutter 507, thereby achieving the purpose of retracting the roller shutter 507.
[0038] Please see Figure 7-8To ensure passenger safety, the protective mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a protective compartment 601, a lifting assembly, two movable blocks 606, a connecting rod 607, and a protective plate 608. The top of the protective compartment 601 has a movable hole for the connecting rod 607 to move. The movable hole allows the connecting rod 607 to move normally, and the protective plate 608 to rise and fall normally, thus enabling the protective mechanism 6 to operate normally. Two connecting blocks 609 are fixed on the front of the top plate 4, and the back of the protective plate 608 has a sliding groove that matches the connecting blocks 609. Through the action of the connecting blocks 609 and the sliding groove, the protective plate 608 will not shake when rising and falling, thus making the operation of the protective mechanism 6 more stable.
[0039] The protective chamber 601 is fixed to the top of the top plate 4. The lifting assembly is located inside the protective chamber 601. Both moving blocks 606 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting assembly. The two connecting rods 607 are respectively hinged to the two moving blocks 606, and the connecting rods 607 extend through to the top of the protective chamber 601. The protective plate 608 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 607 away from the lifting assembly, and the protective plate 608 is slidably connected to the front of the top plate 4. The protective plate 608 is a steel plate, which has high hardness and strength, can withstand greater impact force, and is relatively economical and practical.
[0040] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a second motor 602, a second threaded rod 603, a transmission belt 604, and a third threaded rod 605. The second motor 602 is fixed to the front side wall of the inner cavity of the protective chamber 601. The second threaded rod 603 is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 602 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the protective chamber 601. The transmission belt 604 is fixed to the outer surface of the second threaded rod 603. The third threaded rod 605 is fixed to the right side of the transmission belt 604 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the protective chamber 601.
[0041] It should be noted that pressing the control button 11 starts the second motor 602. The operation of the second motor 602 causes the second threaded rod 603 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission belt 604. Through the action of the transmission belt 604, the third threaded rod 605 can rotate synchronously with the second threaded rod 603. This allows the second and third threaded rods 603 and 605 to move the two moving blocks 606. The movement of the two moving blocks 606 allows the two connecting rods 607 to be adjusted, which in turn allows the protective plate 608 to descend. The protective plate 608 then blocks the out-of-control vehicle, giving waiting passengers time to save themselves.
[0042] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the controller and power supply. The control method of this invention is controlled by the controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
[0043] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0044] (1) If an out-of-control vehicle crashes into the bus shelter, passengers can press the protection button on the control button 11. This will start the second motor 602. The operation of the second motor 602 will drive the second threaded rod 603 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission belt 604 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission belt 604 will cause the third threaded rod 605 to rotate synchronously with the second threaded rod 603. The rotation of the second threaded rod 603 and the third threaded rod 605 will cause the two moving blocks 606 to move, thereby causing the two moving blocks 606 to drive the two connecting rods 607 to adjust. Through the action of the connecting rods 607, the protective plate 608 can be raised and lowered, so that the protective plate 608 can protect the front of the bus shelter. Then, passengers can evacuate from the rear of the bus shelter through the escape door on the connecting plate 3, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the bus shelter and improving the safety of passengers while waiting for the bus.
[0045] (2) When there is heavy rain, the first motor 501 is started by pressing the rainproof button on the control button 11. The operation of the first motor 501 causes the first threaded rod 502 to rotate, thereby enabling the two moving rods 504 to move. The moving rods 504 can then drive the rolling door 507 to extend. The rolling door 507 can then block rainwater and prevent it from entering the waiting shelter and wetting the passengers' clothes, thus achieving the purpose of blocking rainwater.
