A driving component 6 is provided in the display module 5, and the driving component 6 drives the display module 5 to rotate. A mounting seat 7 is provided between the display modules 5. Adjacent mounting seats 7 are fixed by bolts 4, and the mounting seat 7 is rotatably connected to the display module 5.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the display module 5 includes a display panel 501 and a rotating ring 502. The display panel 501 is horizontally placed on the outer side of the rotating ring 502 and is fixed with the rotating ring 502 as an integral structure. The display panel 501 is an electronic ink screen 5011, and an LED light strip 5012 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the display panel 501. The use of the electronic ink screen 5011 allows low-energy display to be maintained under different lighting conditions. The addition of the LED light strip 5012 provides auxiliary lighting in low-light conditions, which is convenient for guiding passers-by.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the driving assembly 6 includes a first gear 601, a second gear 602 and a motor 603. The first gear 601 is an internal gear, which is installed inside the rotating ring 502 and fixedly connected to the rotating ring 502. The first gear 601 is meshed with the second gear 602, and the second gear 602 is installed on the inner side of the first gear 601. The second gear 602 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 603. The motor 603 at the lower end is fixed to the upper end of the column 3, and the remaining motors 603 at the upper end are all installed in the mounting seat 7. The second gear 602 is driven to rotate by the motor 603, so that the display module 5 installed on the outer side of the driving assembly 6 is rotated to guide the direction for passers-by.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the top of the column 3 and the upper and lower ends of the mounting seat 7 are both provided with an annular groove 701, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating ring 502 are placed in the annular groove 701 and rotate in the annular groove 701. The display module 5 is placed in the annular groove 701 by the rotating ring 502 to be positioned, so as to prevent the display module 5 from shaking due to loose installation.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 4As shown, the upper end of the top display panel 501 is provided with a cover plate 9, and the lower end of the cover plate 9 is provided with an annular groove 701 for placing the rotating ring 502. The top of the cover plate 9 is fixedly connected to a support rod 10, and the upper end of the support rod 10 is fixedly installed with a solar panel 11. Installed outdoors, the solar panel 11 receives energy and converts it into electrical energy for use in the sign, which saves resources and is environmentally friendly. In a specific embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a display screen is installed in the frame 2 and is located on both sides of the frame 2, and an intelligent control module is arranged between the display screens. The intelligent control module includes a microprocessor, a sensor and a wireless communication module, which is used to receive external instructions and automatically select and activate the corresponding display screen. The display screen on one side is a map display board, which displays the location of the surrounding of the placement area and is touch-type, which is convenient for finding the location of the selected place. If passers-by are not clear about where they are going, they can search through the touch screen. After selecting their destination, the route and the surrounding environment will be displayed on the display screen. The display screen on the other side is an environmental display board for displaying the time of the day, weather, temperature, and humidity, providing effective information for passers-by passing by. In large shopping malls or airports, some large logos here will also be displayed on the environmental display board. For example, in large shopping malls, the floors of the shopping mall and the marketing content of each floor will be displayed on the environmental display board, which is convenient for passers-by to understand. When the user enters the query interface, only the display module 5 at the bottom of the display module 5 is left in the open state, and the remaining modules are closed. After the passerby inquires about the destination, the intelligent control module will control the motor 603 to rotate, so that the display panel 501 installed on the upper end points to the direction the passerby wants to travel and displays the distance, which is convenient for guiding the passerby. After the query is completed, the information on the display screen will switch to the home page state after a few minutes, and the display panel 501 on the upper end will also return to the initial state.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the outer side of the frame 2 is rounded to increase the aesthetics of the appearance, and anti-collision strips 8 are installed at the corners. Since the sign is placed in a public place, the anti-collision strips 8 are arranged at the corners to prevent children from hitting their heads against the corners when playing or the elderly from accidentally falling, thereby increasing the safety factor.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bolt 4 is provided with a limiting section, the bottom surface of the limiting section of the lowermost bolt 4 abuts against the upper end surface of the column 3, and the bottom surface of the limiting section of the upper bolt 4 abuts against the upper end surface of the corresponding mounting seat 7. The mounting seat 7 is fixed by the limiting section of the bolt 4 to prevent the bolt 4 from being screwed in too tightly so that the rotating ring 502 is stuck during rotation, or to prevent the bolt 4 from being screwed in too loosely so that the rotating ring 502 swings during rotation.

[0031] The installation process of the switchable signboard of the present invention is as follows: in a shopping mall or a station, the signboard is fixed in a conspicuous position in the middle of the shopping mall or the station, and in a road or park, it is generally installed at the intersection of the intersection. The signboard installed outdoors generally adds a solar panel 11 to reduce dependence on the power grid and save resources. First, the support 1 is fixedly installed on the ground, and a frame 2 is placed on the upper end of the support 1. Display screens are installed on both sides of the frame 2, and an intelligent control module is provided between the two display screens to connect with the display screen. A column 3 is installed on the upper end of the frame 2, and a display module 5 is set on the column 3 for displaying roadside or query information. Several display modules 5 and mounting seats 7 are installed on the upper end of the column 3, and the display modules 5 and the mounting seats 7 are cross-mounted, and the mounting seats 7 are fixed by bolts 4. A cover plate 9 is installed on the upper end of the display module 5 at the end. A support rod 10 is added to the upper end of the cover plate 9 for the signboard installed outdoors, and a solar panel 11 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support rod 10. The storage battery required for the solar panel 11 is placed in the column 3 and located at the lower end of the column 3. The outer side of the frame 2 is rounded to increase the aesthetics of the appearance, and anti-collision strips 8 are installed at the corners. Since the sign is placed in a public place, the anti-collision strips 8 are arranged at the corners to prevent children from hitting their heads when playing or the elderly from accidentally falling, causing injuries, thereby increasing the safety factor.

[0032] The use process of the switchable sign of the present invention: the display module 5 on the sign will display the place name and guiding direction of the surrounding area, and if there are many places around, it is impossible to display them all at once, and the display module 5 will be switched at intervals. If the passerby does not find his destination on the sign, he will enter his destination on the display screen on one side. The map display board is a touch screen, which is convenient for passers-by to enter and search. After entering the destination, the intelligent control module receives the instruction and processes it through the microprocessor, and a route map of the destination will appear on the display screen. Since the route map is a plane, it is not convenient for some elderly people to identify it. When querying, the display module 5 at the bottom of the display module 5 is turned on through the wireless communication module, and the other modules are turned off. After the passerby inquires about the destination, the intelligent control module will control the motor 603 to rotate, so that the display panel 501 installed on the upper end points to the direction the passerby wants to travel and displays the distance, which is convenient for guiding the passerby. After the query is completed, the information on the display screen will switch to the homepage state after a few minutes, and the display panel 501 at the upper end will also return to the initial state. In low light conditions, an LED light strip 5012 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the display panel 501 to provide auxiliary lighting and facilitate guidance for passers-by. When not in use for a long time, the display screen of the map display board reduces the brightness to save resources. The display screen on the other side is an environmental display board that is used to display the time of the day, weather, temperature, and humidity, providing effective information for passers-by. In large shopping malls or airports, some large logos here will also be displayed on the environmental display board. For example, in a large shopping mall, the environmental display board will display the floors of the mall and the marketing content of each floor, which is convenient for passers-by to understand.
