Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traffic signal lamps, and more specifically, to a traffic signal lamp with a self-repairing function. Background Art

[0002] Traffic lights are one of the important means to ensure traffic safety. Traffic lights are usually installed at road intersections, important locations on roads, and areas with dense traffic. By providing clear traffic instructions and restrictions, traffic conflicts and accidents can be reduced.

[0003] Some existing traffic lights only provide red, yellow and green light changes, and lack a countdown indication function. This makes it impossible for drivers and pedestrians to accurately judge the remaining waiting time when waiting for the light to change, which may lead to unsafe behaviors such as sudden braking and acceleration, affecting the efficiency and safety of road traffic. Although some traffic lights have a countdown display function, the fault detection of digital indicator light units usually relies on manual inspections, which is not only inefficient but may also fail to detect faults in time. When a digital indicator light unit fails, if it is not repaired or replaced in time, it may cause traffic chaos and safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a traffic signal light with a self-repairing function.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a traffic light, comprising a box body, a first cover portion fixedly connected to the box body, and a transparent second cover portion fixedly connected to the box body; a plurality of signal indicator light units and a plurality of digital indicator light units are installed in the box body, and the plurality of signal indicator light units and the plurality of digital indicator light units are alternately distributed; the digital indicator light unit comprises a plurality of light-emitting units, and the light-emitting units comprise a strip box body, two first magnetic seats with charging contacts installed at both ends of the strip box body, and a strip light source installed in the strip box body and located between the two first magnetic seats.

[0006] Furthermore, some of the multiple light-emitting units are arranged vertically, and the remaining light-emitting units are arranged horizontally.

[0007] Furthermore, the first cover portion is made of a non-transparent material.

[0020] Therefore, the image acquisition unit can determine whether the light-emitting unit is damaged based on the acquired pictures.

[0021] Further, the multiple light-emitting units of each digital indicator light unit are divided into two groups, and the multiple light-emitting units in the same group can display numbers 0-9. The multiple light-emitting units in the same group include three horizontally arranged light-emitting units and four vertically arranged light-emitting units.

The multiple light-emitting units of the same group include three horizontally arranged light-emitting units and four vertically arranged light-emitting units. The box body 1 has a partition beam 1.6 to divide the opening of the box body 1 into a first opening and a second opening.

[0044] Working principle: As shown in the figure, the traffic light of the present application has multiple signal indicator light units and multiple digital indicator light units; thus, the indication of the signal light and the display of the countdown can be realized. In actual use, if one of the light-emitting units of the countdown is damaged, the countdown cannot be displayed normally. Therefore, a repair unit and a detection unit are set.

[0045] During the detection unit detection, when this digital indicator light unit is not in use, the two second electric push rods press the first plate body, so that the second plate body tilts up, so that the shielding plate and the slide can be driven to move synchronously, so that the digital indicator light unit can be shielded, so that the digital indicator light unit is operated through the driver program (for example, each group of light-emitting units displays 0-9 in sequence), so that the image acquisition unit determines whether the light-emitting unit is damaged according to the collected pictures. If damaged, the position of the damaged light-emitting unit is recorded. Although the light-emitting unit is lit at this time, it is not visible to road users due to the shielding of the shielding plate, and does not affect the normal use of the traffic light.

[0046] During repair, the digital indicator light unit where the damaged light-emitting unit is located can be driven to this position while the digital indicator light unit is not in use, and the two second electric push rods can be used to move to the corresponding position. The movable ends of the two second electric push rods pass through the through holes and are inserted into the installation holes, so that the substitute light source falls off from the installation position and is embedded in the bar box body of the damaged light-emitting unit. At this time, the first and second magnetic seats attract each other, on the one hand, fixing the substitute light source, and on the other hand, supplying power to the substitute light source. In addition, the rotating plate of the present application has multiple substitute light sources, and the rotating plate can rotate, so that the position (vertical or horizontal) of the substitute light source can actually be adjusted, so that 8 substitute light sources can serve as substitutes for 8 damaged light-emitting units, so that the repair ability is strong. Therefore, the traffic light of the present application can be repaired in time when damaged, and the damaged light-emitting unit can be repaired or replaced during subsequent manual maintenance, and the substitute light source can be reset.

[0047] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with respect to the preferred embodiments, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.
