[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] See also Figures 1-6 As shown, a traffic signal device for traffic control includes a movable base 1, a support column 2 is mounted on the base 1, and an indicator light 3 is fixed to the top of the support column 2, and also includes a rainwater collection structure for collecting rainwater; universal self-locking wheels are mounted at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1; the indicator light 3 is a common existing traffic signal light, and its structure and principle are all existing technologies and are not described in detail here;

[0039] The rain collecting structure includes a rain shield installed on the top of the indicator light 3, and a rain collecting component arranged on the rain shield. The rain collecting component includes a rain collecting pan 5. A rain collecting trough 17 is formed between the rain collecting pan 5 and the rain shield. The bottom end of the rain collecting pan 5 is connected to a downpipe 15 connected to the rain collecting trough 17. One end of the downpipe 15 is connected to a drain pipe 14 that passes through the interior of the support column 2. A water storage chamber 13 connected to the drain pipe 14 is opened inside the base 1. An overflow valve 9 is installed on one side of the base 1, and a drain valve 12 is installed on the other side. A water injection pipe 10 is also installed on the base 1.

[0040] Specifically, the rain shielding member includes a support rod 16 installed on the top of the indicator light 3 , and a conical rain shielding cover 4 is fixed to the top of the support rod 16 .

[0041] Through the above, when in use, the traffic signal device can be moved to the road or intersection to be controlled and fixed by the universal self-locking wheels on the base 1, and then the indicator light 3 is turned on to control traffic on the road and facilitate orderly driving of vehicles;

[0042] On rainy days, the rain collecting pan 5 collects rainwater, which is then temporarily stored in the rain collecting trough 17. The rainwater is then discharged from the rain collecting trough 17 into the downpipe 15, and then discharged into the water storage chamber 13 in the base 1 through the drain pipe 14. This adds counterweight to the entire traffic signal device, allowing the device to be stably placed on the road or intersection, preventing the device from shaking or tipping over due to wind during rainy days. This greatly increases the stability of the device, facilitates stable use of the device in different weather conditions, and facilitates traffic control.

[0043] During use, water can be injected into the water storage chamber 13 inside the base 1 through the water injection pipe 10 to increase the counterweight of the entire device, making the device more stable when placed on the road or intersection, which is conducive to the stable use of the device; at the same time, after the device is used and needs to be moved, the water in the water storage chamber 13 can be discharged through the drain valve 12 to empty the water storage chamber 13, thereby reducing the weight of the device and facilitating the transportation or movement of the device.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, a drainage groove 19 and an annular guide groove 18 are further provided in the rain collecting trough 17 , and the guide groove 18 is communicated with the drainage groove 19 , and the drainage groove 19 is communicated with the downpipe 15 .

[0045] When the rainwater collected in the rain collecting trough 17 is discharged through the downpipe 15, the annular guide groove 18 can divert the rainwater so that the rainwater gradually flows into the drainage groove 19, and then flows into the downpipe 15 through the drainage groove 19, thereby realizing the drainage of rainwater, thereby facilitating the rapid discharge of the rainwater collected in the rain collecting trough 17, which is conducive to the rapid collection of rainwater.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the reminder of vehicles at night, avoid vehicles hitting traffic lights, and increase the safety of night driving, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, reflective warning strips 11 are installed around the outer wall of the base 1.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the rain collecting structure further includes a filtering component, and the filtering component includes a filtering plate 6 arranged in the rain collecting trough 17.

[0049] On rainy days, when the rain collecting pan 5 collects rainwater, the filter plate 6 can filter the rainwater and shield the rain collecting trough 17 to prevent debris from floating into the rain collecting trough 17 due to wind force, and prevent the downpipe 15 from being blocked, thereby facilitating the rapid drainage of the rain collecting pan 5, facilitating the collection of rainwater, achieving effective weight counterweighting of the device, and ensuring the stable use of the device.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 as well as Figures 6-11 As shown, the filter component also includes a connecting structure 7 for quickly disassembling the filter plate 6, and the connecting structure 7 includes a plurality of connecting blocks 71 installed on the outer circumference of the filter plate 6. The inner wall of the rain collecting tray 5 is provided with connecting grooves 72 for plugging in the plurality of connecting blocks 71, and a handle is also fixed on the filter plate 6.

[0052] When it is necessary to clean the rain collecting pan 5 and the filter plate 6, the filter plate 6 can be pulled upward by the handle so that the connecting block 71 is pulled out of the connecting groove 72 until the filter plate 6 is pulled out of the rain collecting trough 17 in the rain collecting pan 5, thereby realizing the disassembly of the filter plate 6, and then the rain collecting pan 5 and the filter plate 6 can be cleaned separately. After cleaning, the filter plate 6 can be inserted into the rain collecting trough 17 by the handle. At this time, the connecting block 71 is inserted into the connecting groove 72 to plug and fix the filter plate 6 and the rain collecting pan 5 to complete the installation of the filter plate 6, thereby realizing the rapid disassembly and assembly of the filter plate 6, facilitating the rapid cleaning of the rain collecting pan 5 and the filter plate 6, avoiding scale accumulation inside the rain collecting pan 5 or clogging of the filter plate 6, further facilitating the rapid drainage of the rain collecting pan 5, facilitating the collection of rainwater, and realizing the counterweight of the device.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 1-Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connection structure 7 further includes a positioning component 8, and the positioning structure includes a plurality of positioning blocks 82 mounted on the inner ring wall of the filter plate 6, and a positioning groove 81 for inserting the plurality of positioning blocks 82 is opened on the outer wall of the rain shield 4.

[0054] During the installation process of the filter plate 6, when the filter plate 6 is inserted into the rain collecting trough 17, the positioning block 82 can be inserted into the positioning groove 81 to achieve rapid positioning between the filter plate 6 and the rain shield 4, thereby facilitating the stable installation of the filter plate 6 in the rain collecting trough 17, which is conducive to the stable use of the filter plate 6.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] See also Figures 6-11 As shown, the connection structure 7 also includes a clamping member 73 for clamping and fixing the connection block 71, and the clamping member 73 includes a plurality of plug-in columns 731 installed in a plurality of connection grooves 72, a plurality of plug-in columns 731 are provided with cavities inside, and a plurality of cavities are provided with springs 734, and both ends of each spring 734 are connected to a movable plate 733, and a clamping block 732 that can extend to the outside of the cavity is fixed on the side of the movable plate 733 away from the spring 734, and a plug-in hole 736 for plugging the plug-in column 731 is provided on the connection block 71, and a plug-in hole 737 that cooperates with the clamping block 732 is provided on the inner wall of the plug-in hole 736.

[0057] When the filter plate 6 is installed, the connecting block 71 is inserted into the connecting groove 72. At this time, the plug post 731 is synchronously inserted into the plug hole 736. At the same time, the clamping block 732 is squeezed and the spring 734 is squeezed through the movable plate 733, causing the spring 734 to contract and drive the clamping block 732 to retract into the cavity until the plug post 731 is completely inserted into the plug hole 736. At this time, the clamping block 732 corresponds to the clamping hole 737, and then pops out from the cavity under the action of the spring 734 and is clamped into the corresponding clamping hole 737, thereby achieving the purpose of The connecting block 71 is clamped and fixed, thereby achieving stable installation of the filter plate 6. When the filter plate 6 is disassembled, the clamping block 732 is squeezed again and the spring 734 is squeezed through the movable plate 733, causing the spring 734 to contract and drive the clamping block 732 to retract into the cavity until the connecting block 71 is removed from the connecting groove 72. At this time, the plug-in column 731 is removed from the plug-in hole 736, thereby achieving the disassembly of the filter plate 6, which can further facilitate the rapid disassembly and assembly of the filter plate 6, and can ensure the stable installation of the filter plate 6, facilitating the stable use of the filter plate 6.

[0058] Furthermore, if Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, a limiting groove 735 is further provided on the outer wall of the plug-in column 731 , and a limiting strip matching the limiting groove 735 is installed on the inner wall of the plug-in hole 736 .

[0059] When the plug-in column 731 is inserted into the plug-in hole 736 or pulled out from the plug-in hole 736, the limiting bar moves along the limiting groove 735 to be inserted into the limiting groove 735 or pulled out from the limiting groove 735 at the same time, thereby realizing the limitation of the plug-in column 731, facilitating the stable plugging and pulling out between the plug-in column 731 and the plug-in hole 736, and thus facilitating the rapid disassembly and assembly of the filter plate 6.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
