[0024] In an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the backup lamp assembly includes a damping drum 41 rotatably connected to the cross bar 11, a gear ring 42 and two color-changing lamps 43 are fixedly connected to the damping drum 41, the gear ring 42 is fixed on the center line of the damping drum 41, and the two color-changing lamps 43 are arranged on both sides of the damping drum 41, the working principle of the color-changing lamp 43 is consistent with the signal lamp of a single lamp tube, it realizes the change of red, yellow and green lights by controlling the circuit inside the lamp, and there is a timer inside the lamp, by setting the timer, the lamp can switch between red and green lights within a specific time, thereby controlling the passage of vehicles and pedestrians; when the timer expires, the signal lamp It will automatically switch to the next state, for example, from green light to yellow light, and then from yellow light to red light, so as to realize the control and management of traffic signals; when the signal light group 14 does not need to be repaired and disassembled, the color-changing light 43 is located at the rear and lower part thereof, and the color-changing light 43 is controlled to remain in the yellow light state, so as to illuminate the road surface at the bottom of the signal light group 14 and improve traffic safety; when the signal light group 14 is moved and disassembled and the color-changing light 43 is driven to rotate to the front of the cross bar 11, the controller control circuit inside the color-changing light 43 realizes the change of red, yellow and green lights, and acts as a temporary signal light; both mounting blocks 12 are provided with a positioning unit for fixing the damping drum 41.

[0025] In an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the connecting assembly includes a connecting block 51 rotatably connected to the electric telescopic rod 13; one end of the connecting block 51 is fixedly connected to an extension rod 52, and one end of the extension rod 52 is fixedly connected to the signal light group 14. By setting the connecting block 51 and the extension rod 52, the signal light group 14 moves synchronously with the operation of the electric telescopic rod 13.

[0026] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the transmission assembly includes an L-shaped tooth plate 6 fixedly connected to the extension rod 52, and the L-shaped tooth plate 6 engages with the gear ring 42 during its movement. The driving force when the L-shaped tooth plate 6 engages with the gear ring 42 is greater than the resistance between the damping cylinder 41 and the cross bar 11. At this time, the resistance cylinder rotates with the rotation of the gear ring 42.

[0027] Specifically, the positioning unit includes a side rod 71 slidably connected to the mounting block 12, one end of the side rod 71 is fixedly connected to a baffle plate 72, and a return spring 73 is fixedly connected between the baffle plate 72 and the mounting block 12; a positioning hole 74 is provided on the damping cylinder 41, and the elastic force of the return spring 73 drives the side rod 71 to engage with the positioning rod, and an unlocking unit for driving the positioning unit to move is provided on the L-shaped toothed plate 6, and a groove for the side rod 71 to slide is provided on the side where the two mounting blocks 12 are close to each other. By engaging the side rod 71 with the positioning hole 74 on the damping cylinder 41, the stability of the damping cylinder 41 can be further improved, and the external environment can be prevented from affecting the damping cylinder 41 and causing it to rotate.

[0028] In the solution further provided by the present invention, the unlocking unit includes an inclined unlocking plate 81 fixedly connected to both sides of the L-shaped tooth plate 6, and protrusions 82 are fixedly connected to the two baffles 72. The two inclined unlocking plates 81 respectively abut against the corresponding protrusions 82 during their movement. The length of the inclined unlocking plate 81 is greater than the length of the teeth of the L-shaped tooth plate 6, so that when the teeth on the L-shaped tooth plate 6 are engaged with the gear ring 42 on the damping drum 41, the inclined unlocking plate 81 first triggers the protrusion 82 to drive the side rod 71 to move and separate from the positioning hole 74 through the baffle 72. The number of positioning holes 74 can be set to multiple according to specific operating conditions, so that the damping drum 41 has a certain tolerance value when rotating.

[0029] In the solution further provided by the present invention, the guide assembly includes a torsion groove 9 opened on the column tube 1, and the extension rod 52 is slidably connected in the torsion groove 9. The torsion groove 9 is composed of two vertical grooves and an oblique groove. When the extension rod 52 moves in the top vertical groove, the switching of the standby lamp assembly can be realized. When the extension rod 52 enters the oblique groove, the angle of the signal lamp group 14 can be changed. The specific setting method can be referred to the appendix of the specification. Figure 2 .

[0030] In the solution further provided by the present invention, the two mounting blocks 12 are fixedly connected with the same solar panel 102 via a fixing rod 101. The solar panel 102 is arranged in a V shape. The arrangement of the solar panel 102 can provide electrical energy for the signal light group 14 and the color-changing light 43 on the cross bar 11, and its V-shaped arrangement can also shield them from rain.

[0031] Working principle: When the signal light group 14 is inspected, the electric telescopic rod 13 is started to move up a certain distance. The electric telescopic rod 13 moves up through the cooperation of the connecting block 51 and the extension rod 52, driving the signal light group 14 to move up. As the signal light group 14 moves up, the double-sided beveled round block 33 set on the L-shaped support rod 31 of the signal light group 14 will also move up. During the upward movement, it will contact the bevel rod 22 and abut the bevel rod 22 to connect the connecting spring 23 to the mounting block. The double-sided beveled circular block 33 is supported by the beveled rod 22 and pushed into the beveled circular groove 35 inside the arc-shaped circular block 34. The beveled rod 22 supports the double-sided beveled circular block 33 while the connecting spring 23 connected thereto is still in a compressed state until the double-sided beveled circular block 33 is moved upward. After the half part completely enters the inclined circular groove 35, the inclined surface at the bottom of the double-sided inclined circular block 33 and the arc surface of the arc-shaped circular block 34 contact the inclined rod 22, abut the inclined rod 22 and then separate from it. After separation, the signal light group 14 continues to move vertically downward under the action of the electric telescopic rod 13. When moving downward, the inclined unlocking plates 81 arranged on both sides of the L-shaped toothed plate 6 contact the protrusion 82 on one side of the baffle 72 and push the protrusion 82 to move toward the inside of the mounting block 12. The protrusion 82 passes When the baffle plate 72 drives the side rod 71 to move, the side rod 71 is separated from the positioning hole 74 on the damping drum 41. At this time, the teeth on the L-shaped toothed plate 6 are meshed with the gear ring 42 on the damping drum 41, thereby driving the damping drum 41 to drive the color-changing light 43 to rotate slowly until the signal light group 14 moves down and does not affect the color-changing light 43. When the color-changing light 43 rotates to the front of the crossbar 11, the controller inside it controls the color-changing light 43 to change color, thereby serving as a temporary indicator light. When the extension rod 52 drives the signal light group 14 to move from the vertical groove part at the top of the torsion groove 9 to the inclined part of the torsion groove 9, the extension rod 52 drives the signal light group 14 to rotate until the signal light group 14 rotates from the top of the road to the side of the road. The extension rod 52 will enter the vertical groove part at the bottom of the torsion groove 9 and continue to move downward until it moves to a height suitable for maintenance personnel. At this time, the extension rod 52 can provide a certain support force for the signal light group 14, which is convenient for operators to maintain.

It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
