Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a road reflector and its construction method, and more specifically, to a road reflector and its construction method that can prevent reflected light from interfering with each other, thereby achieving clearer reflection efficiency.
[0002] Furthermore, the present invention provides a road reflector patch that can be attached in a three-dimensional structure such as a rhombus, square or polygon, and forms a non-reflective area between the divided areas to prevent reflected light from interfering with each other. It not only has excellent retroreflection performance, but also provides a road reflector patch that is easy to replace and its construction method.
[0003] In addition, the present invention also provides a road reflector and its construction method, which allows for convenient adjustment of the angle of the front surface of the reflector when mounting holes are formed on a structure including a road curb and a reflector is installed. Background Technology
[0004] A road delineator (also known as a guide delineator) is a device installed on guardrails, curbs, or retaining walls along the edge of a road. It uses light from vehicle headlights to illuminate the delineator, thus indicating the location of curves or obstacles to drivers at night.
[0005] like Figure 1 As shown, the reflector can be installed on road curbs or road guardrails. Its basic structure is to attach a reflective patch to the front surface of a disc-shaped substrate. The structure installed on the guardrail is to set a fixing component on the disc so that it can be easily combined with the guardrail posts or panels.
[0006] The aforementioned existing road reflectors have undergone various developments to improve reflection efficiency or facilitate installation and maintenance, such as the technologies disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2.
[0007] Patent Document 1 relates to a guide beacon, including a guide reflector, installed on a guardrail where a guardrail panel is mounted on a vertical post on a road using fixing bolts. The guide beacon is made of a synthetic resin material that reflects light, has an open rear section, and contains a space for inserting the head of a fixing bolt. It also includes a washer steel plate installed at the rear of the opening of the guide beacon reflector, with a bolt insertion hole in the center. With the head of the fixing bolt inserted into the space of the guide beacon, the fixing bolt passes through the guardrail panel, the bracket, and the vertical post, securing it. This causes the washer steel plate of the guide beacon to be sandwiched between the bottom surface of the bolt head and the guardrail panel, thus completing the installation of the road guardrail guide beacon.
[0008] Patent Document 2 relates to a guide sign structure mounted on a guardrail, which includes a reflector that emits light when illuminated by a vehicle's headlights. The structure comprises: a hollow fixed body fixed to the guardrail; a movable body, also hollow and movable, with a reflector, positioned above the fixed body; and a connecting body that secures the movable body and the fixed body. The movable body includes: an arc-shaped upper body with a certain diameter; an arc-shaped lower body continuously formed with the upper body, having a larger diameter than the upper body and a through hole on its lower side; a reflector mounting portion formed at the ends of the upper and lower bodies, consisting of a bend that bends inward to a certain width; and a hollow first space formed inside the upper and lower bodies. The fixed body includes: a bottom with a first through hole formed in the center of its plane; and a hollow first space within the upper and lower bodies. The assembly comprises: a dome-shaped structure formed on both sides of the bottom and in a raised shape; connecting holes formed on both sides of the bottom and the dome for fixing to railings, etc.; an arc-shaped support portion formed at the end of the dome for supporting the lower body of the movable body; a groove portion formed at the end of the support portion and bent downward and provided with a second through hole; and a hollow second space portion formed inside the bottom and the dome. The assembly includes: a base inserted between the inner side of the bottom of the fixed body and the outer side of the groove portion; a body formed in the center of the base and inserted into the groove portion of the fixed body and provided with a first threaded portion; a contact portion formed at the end of the body and in contact with the inner side of the lower body of the movable body; a support shaft provided on one side of the contact portion and provided with a second threaded portion; and a support member formed on one side of the support shaft to reinforce the contact portion, thereby constituting a guide marker structure.
[0009] As mentioned above, although a variety of products related to road reflectors have been developed, their complex structure and high manufacturing cost result in expensive prices.
[0010] In addition, some existing reflectors have a flat structure with obvious directionality, which means they must be matched with the direction of vehicle travel during installation, thus increasing the complexity of the installation work.
[0011] In addition, although reflective panels with protruding or recessed surfaces are provided, the light reflected by these reflective surfaces is prone to interference with each other, which not only reduces visibility, but also makes it difficult for drivers of vehicles traveling sideways along the curb to see the sign at an angle when visibility is poor. This makes it difficult to notice the curb or guardrail in time, which may lead to collision accidents. Summary of the Invention
[0012] Technical problems to be solved The present invention was made in view of the aforementioned problems, and its object is to provide a road reflector and its construction method that can prevent reflected light from interfering with each other and thus obtain a clearer reflection efficiency.
[0013] That is, the purpose of this invention is to provide a road reflector with excellent retroreflective performance by setting a reflective patch in a three-dimensional form of a rhombus, square or polygon on a reflector cover, so that the reflective patch can reflect vehicle lights from multiple angles.
[0014] Furthermore, the present invention provides a road reflector and its construction method, wherein the reflective patch is detachably installed on the reflector cover in a segmented state for easy replacement, and a non-reflective surface and non-reflective line are formed between the segmented reflective patches to further improve the visibility of the reflective patch.
[0015] In addition, the present invention provides a road reflector with a fixing part that can be easily installed on road curbs or guardrails, thereby making the installation of the reflector simpler and more secure, and a method thereof.
[0016] In addition, the present invention also provides a road reflector and its construction method, which allows for convenient adjustment of the angle of the front surface of the reflector when mounting holes are formed in structures including road curbs and a reflector is installed.
[0017] Technical solution To achieve the aforementioned objective, the road reflector of the present invention is a reflector installed on road structures including road curbs, median strips, signs, directional signs, underground fixed piles, or guardrails. It is characterized by comprising: a reflector cover 10, which is a polyhedral shape that gradually narrows towards the rear, and is divided by a plurality of radially formed non-reflective partition portions 12 around a flat central plane portion 11 formed in the center, thereby forming a plurality of reflective patch fixing groove portions 10g; Furthermore, it also includes a fixing part 30 disposed on the back of the reflector cover 10 for fixing the reflector to other structures.
[0018] The edge of the reflector cover 10 is formed with a non-reflective frame portion 23.
[0019] Furthermore, the road reflector according to the present invention is an embedded road reflector, which is installed in a fixing hole 110 formed in a structure 100 including a road curb, a central median, or a roadside ditch. On the back of the embedded road reflector cover 10, which has reflective patches 20 on at least one side, a fixing part 30 is formed that is inserted into and fixed in the fixing hole. The fixing part 30 is a fixing tube 31 extending from the back of the reflector cover. Furthermore, fixing members 40 are respectively provided at both ends of the fixing tube 31.
[0020] The fixing member 40 includes: at least two directional fixing members 41 disposed on the upper or lower part of one end of the fixing tube and arranged at intervals between each other; and a central fixing member 42 disposed on the opposite surface of the other end of the end on which the directional fixing members are installed.
[0021] Beneficial effects According to the present invention, the road reflector has reflective patches arranged in a three-dimensional inward shape in the form of rhombus, square or polygon, which can reflect vehicle lights from multiple angles and has excellent retroreflective performance even on straight road sections, thereby improving visibility, making road curbs easy to identify, and effectively guiding drivers to drive safely at night.
[0022] In addition, the reflective patch on the reflector cover in this invention is not exposed to the outside, which can prevent wear and damage caused by friction from vehicle tires or cleaning vehicles.
[0023] In addition, the reflective patch in this invention, which is divided into multiple parts and installed on the reflective plate cover, can be replaced when the reflective plate is scratched or damaged due to foreign objects or stones kicked up by vehicle tires, or when visibility is reduced due to foreign objects, without having to replace the entire reflective plate. Only the reflective patch part that needs to be replaced needs to be replaced, thereby significantly reducing the replacement cost of the reflector and shortening the replacement time.
[0024] Furthermore, the present invention can further improve the visibility of the reflective patch by forming a non-reflective surface and a non-reflective line between the segmented reflective patches.
[0025] Furthermore, the present invention provides various types of fixing components, enabling it to be easily fixed to road curbs or guardrails.
[0026] Furthermore, according to the road reflector of the present invention, when mounting holes are formed in structures including road curbs, median strips or roadside ditches and the reflector is installed, the angle of the front surface of the reflector can be easily adjusted.

Detailed Implementation
[0050] This invention can be implemented in various ways, with only a few specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, which are described in conjunction with detailed description. However, this is not intended to limit the invention to specific embodiments; all modifications, equivalents, or substitutions that fall within the scope of the invention's concept and technology should be understood as being included within the protection scope of this invention.
[0051] In describing the accompanying drawings, the same or similar reference numerals are used for the same or similar constituent elements. In describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of related well-known technologies would obscure the essential points of the invention; therefore, such detailed descriptions are omitted.
[0052] This invention can prevent interference between reflected light, thereby obtaining a clearer reflection effect.
[0053] According to the present invention, a road reflector, such as Figure 1 As shown, this is a reflector installed on road structures including curbs, medians, signs, directional signs, underground bollards, or guardrails, such as... Figures 2 to 13As shown, it includes: a reflector cover 10 that has a polyhedral shape that gradually narrows towards the rear and is divided by a plurality of radially formed non-reflective partitions 12 around a flat central plane portion 11 formed in the center, thereby forming a plurality of reflective patch fixing grooves 10g; and a reflective patch 20 disposed in the reflective patch fixing groove.
[0054] The reflector cover 10 has the function of protecting the reflector patch and fixing it to other structures. As shown in the figure, its overall structure presents a trumpet shape that gradually narrows towards the rear.
[0055] The reflector cover 10 has multiple non-reflective areas to facilitate easier installation of reflective patches and prevent light reflected by the reflective patches from interfering with each other.
[0056] That is, such as Figure 3 As shown, the reflector cover 10 is provided with a plurality of reflector patch fixing grooves 10g for mounting reflector patches.
[0057] To form the reflective patch fixing groove 10g, a non-reflective partition 12 is formed between each reflective patch fixing groove. The non-reflective partitions are arranged radially with equal spacing based on the center of the reflective plate cover.
[0058] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the reflective patch fixing groove 10g can be composed of a vertically arranged flat plane portion 10p and an inclined surface portion 10s formed by tilting inward to the center.
[0059] In addition, a central plane portion 11 is formed in the center of the reflector cover 10, and the non-reflective partition portion 12 is formed radially around the central plane portion 11.
[0060] The central plane portion 11 and the non-reflective partition portion 12 are exposed portions without the reflective patch attached. When the reflective patch provided in the reflective patch fixing groove portion 10g receives vehicle light and generates reflection, the central plane portion and the non-reflective partition portion can absorb vehicle light in a non-reflective state, thereby making the reflective patch provided on the reflector plate reflect the light brighter, and thus achieving higher visibility.
[0061] It is possible Figure 5 As shown, the non-reflective partition 12 has a structure in which the width gradually decreases from the central plane portion 11 towards the edge, or as... Figure 6 As shown, a structure with a specified width is formed from the central plane portion 11 to the edge.
[0062] Furthermore, the edge of the reflector cover 10 is further formed with a non-reflective frame portion 13, which is used to protect the edge of the reflector patch attached to the reflector patch fixing groove portion 10g.
[0063] Although the accompanying drawings illustrate an embodiment with four reflective patch fixing slots 10g, the reflective patch fixing slots 10g can also be formed in multiples of four or more.
[0064] That is, the reflective patches set in the fixing slots of each reflective patch can form a polygon in overall planar shape, including quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons.
[0065] Since the reflective patch 20 is detachably installed in the reflective patch fixing groove 10g, it can be easily replaced when the reflective patch ages and the reflective efficiency decreases, or when it loses its reflective function due to contamination.
[0066] As described above, the reflective patch 20 is installed only in the reflective patch fixing groove 10g formed on the reflective plate cover 10, and the reflective patches provided in adjacent reflective patch fixing grooves 10g can have different reflection directions, so that each reflective patch can reflect light in different directions.
[0067] like Figures 2 to 7 a, Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the reflective patch 20 has a central perforation 21 in the center, which is configured to be opposite to the central plane portion 11 formed on the reflective plate cover 10.
[0068] As shown in the figure, the reflective patch 20 has multiple cutouts 22 centered on the central perforation 21, and each part formed by the cutouts and its adjacent parts are respectively installed in the reflective patch fixing groove 10g formed on the reflective plate cover 10.
[0069] like Figure 5 As shown in b, the cut portion 22 is composed of multiple cutting lines centered on the central perforation portion 21, or as shown in... Figure 6 As shown in b, a cutting space is created by removing a portion of the reflective patch.
[0070] That is, depending on the structural form of the non-reflective partition portion 12 formed on the reflective cover 10, the form of the cut portion 22 formed on the reflective patch can also change accordingly.
[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, the reflective patch 20 can have a notch 22 formed only at the location corresponding to the reflective patch fixing groove 10g formed on the reflective plate cover 10, and can be installed simultaneously in each reflective patch fixing groove 10g while maintaining the overall structure; or as... Figure 4As shown, the reflective patches can also be cut into shapes corresponding to the fixing grooves 10g of each reflective patch and then installed individually.
[0072] Of course, even if Figure 3 As shown, the reflective patch 20 is installed as a whole in the reflective patch fixing groove 10g. Alternatively, it can be partially cut and separated as needed to remove the damaged parts and replace only the corresponding parts for maintenance.
[0073] Furthermore, the reflective patch fixing groove 10g of the reflective plate cover 10 can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown in a, a shape extends along the edge of the circular reflector cover to form " The shape of the reflective patch is used to install the reflective patch within the entire range of the 10g mounting groove, or as... Figure 2 As shown in b, the " " is formed only in the parts other than the arc-shaped portion. The shape is such that the reflective patch is installed only in the reflective patch fixing groove.
[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the reflective patch 20 has a flat plane portion 10p that can be simultaneously mounted on the reflective plate cover, a flat plane portion 20p that is entirely provided on a slope portion 10s that is inclined inwards towards the center, and a slope portion 20s that is inclined inwards towards the center.
[0075] like Figures 2 to 14 As shown, the reflector of the present invention constructed as described above can adopt a circular reflector cover structure, or although not shown, it can adopt a square reflector cover structure. However, the above structures are only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims. The reflector cover can also be made into a polygonal structure.
[0076] like Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the fixing part 30 may include a fixing tube 31 fixed to the back of the reflector cover. The fixing tube 31 is cylindrical and has multiple fixing grooves formed on its outer circumferential surface, so that concrete mortar or adhesive can penetrate in, thereby fixing the fixing part firmly to the structure.
[0077] Figures 7 to 11 The present invention illustrates a reflector having a mounting portion that can be installed on a road curb and its installation state, wherein, Figure 7 An embodiment is shown in which holes are made in a pre-installed curb for mounting a reflector, and the reflector is then mounted.
[0078] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the fixing tube 31 of the reflector installed on the curb is cylindrical, and multiple fixing grooves 31g are formed on its outer circumferential surface. The fixing tube 31 is inserted into the hole formed in the curb for fixing. After applying adhesive to the outer circumferential surface of the fixing tube including the fixing grooves 31g, it is inserted into the hole and the adhesive is cured, thereby fixing the reflector to the curb.
[0079] The adhesive can be an adhesive that can bond the curbstone material to the fixed pipe material, or cement mortar.
[0080] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The structure of the fixing part 30 is shown. After the assembly hole is formed, the reflector plate equipped with the elastic inclined fixing pin 32 is installed in the assembly hole of the curb stone by pressing. Alternatively, when making the curb stone, the reflector plate is pre-installed in the curb stone making template so that the reflector plate and the curb stone are integrally formed. In this structure, the fixing tube 31 also includes a fixing pin 32 whose outer end is inclined toward the reflector plate cover. Mortar is poured into the fixing groove 31g formed on the outer circumference of the fixing tube 31, and the fixing pin 32 is embedded in the mortar, so that the fixing tube can be firmly fixed in the curb stone.
[0081] Figure 11 An embodiment of a reflector with a fixing part 30 for mounting on a guardrail is shown. As shown, it includes a reflector fixing post made of tubular material that is mounted on a part of the guardrail. A cylindrical fixing tube 31 is inserted and connected to the fixing post. A fixing ring 33 made of elastic material is installed in a fixing groove 31g formed on the outer circumferential surface of the fixing tube 31, so that the fixing tube 31 fitted on the fixing post will not detach without the action of external force.
[0082] The reflector of the present invention can also be fixed by driving it into the ground. In this case, the fixing part 30 has the same structure as the fixing part 30 for the guardrail described above, so its detailed description is omitted here.
[0083] In addition, such as Figure 12 As shown, the road reflector according to the present invention preferably includes a fixing part 30 disposed on the back of the reflector cover for fixing the reflector to other structures.
[0084] like Figure 12 As shown, another embodiment of the fixing part 30 can directly fix the reflector to other structures without the need for a separate fixing structure. It can be configured to integrally form a plurality of vertical support plates 34v above the horizontal support plate 34h, and combine the upper end of the vertical support plate 34v with the back of the reflector cover.
[0085] The fixing part 30 is used to fix the reflector cover to other structures on the road, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the reflector of the present invention can be installed on road curbs or guardrails, and the configuration of the fixing part can also be changed according to the different structures of the installation object.
[0086] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown in b, the reflector according to the present invention may further provide a central reflector 11a on the central plane portion to improve visibility.
[0087] In addition, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the reflector of the present invention can also have reflective patches installed on both the front and back sides.
[0088] That is, such as Figure 13 As shown, a single-sided reflective cover has a central planar portion 11 formed in the center, and the non-reflective partition portion 12 is formed radially from this central planar portion 11. Reflective patches can be installed on both the front and back of the cover, or, as... Figure 14 As shown, a central plane portion 11 is formed in the center, and the reflective cover 12 is symmetrically arranged radially around the central plane portion 11, and reflective patches are respectively installed on its outer side.
[0089] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown in a, the reflector of the present invention can be formed into a flat structure in the central plane portion, or as... Figure 10 As shown in b, the central flat portion is formed into a groove-shaped structure.
[0090] Furthermore, when mounting holes are formed on structures such as road curbs, median strips, or roadside ditches and reflectors are installed, the angle in front of the reflector can be easily adjusted.
[0091] like Figure 15 As shown, the road reflector according to the present invention is a buried road reflector, which is installed in a fixing hole 110 formed in a structure 100 including a road curb, a central median strip, or a roadside ditch, such as... Figures 16 to 22 As shown, the back of the embedded road reflector cover 10, which has a reflector sheet 20 on at least one side, is formed with a fixing part 30 that is inserted into and fixed in the fixing hole. The fixing part 30 is a fixing tube 31 that extends outward from the back of the reflector cover, and fixing members 40 are respectively provided at both ends of the fixing tube 31.
[0092] In particular, preferably, the fixing member 40 includes: at least two directional fixing members 41 disposed on the upper or lower part of one end of the fixing tube and spaced apart from each other, and a central fixing member 42 disposed on the opposite side of the other end of the end on which the directional fixing members are installed.
[0093] With the above structure, the reflector of the present invention can adjust the tilt angle of the fixing part, thereby realizing the adjustment of the reflector cover angle.
[0094] That is, the present invention aims to make the reflection angle of the light reflected by the reflector conform to the road alignment, so that the reflected light can clearly enter the driver's line of sight, and thus make the angle of the reflector easy to adjust. By adjusting the angle of the fixing part 30 inserted into and fixed in the fixing hole 110 formed on the structure, the angle adjustment of the reflector cover 10 provided at the front end of the fixing part is made easier, thereby making it easier to adjust the angle of the light reflected by the reflector sheet provided on the reflector cover.
[0095] like Figures 16 to 21 As shown, the fixing part 30 is constructed by forming a plurality of through holes 35 on the wall of the fixing tube 31, which is a cylindrical tube, and the fixing tube can be as follows: Figures 16 to 19 The configuration shown is a cylindrical body with an outer diameter smaller than that of the reflector cover, or as... Figure 20 The structure shown is a cylinder with the same outer diameter as the reflector cover.
[0096] In addition, such as Figure 16 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the fixed tube 31 gradually shortens from the end with the central fixing member 42 toward the side with the direction fixing member to form an inclined end 31s. This ensures that when the fixed tube is inserted into the fixing hole and tilted, the shorter end will not get stuck on the inner wall of the fixing hole, allowing for smooth tilting.
[0097] The fixing member 40 serves as a means to tilt and fix the fixing tube 31 inside the fixing hole, and can be implemented in various variations, one of which is as follows: Figures 16 to 20 As shown in Figure a, the fixing member is composed of elastic fixing rods, and through holes 35 are formed on the fixing tube 31 for detachable installation of each fixing rod.
[0098] As shown in the figure, at least two through holes 35 are formed at intervals on the upper or lower part of one end of the fixed tube body, and one is formed on the opposite side of the other end.
[0099] The fixing rod is installed on the fixing tube 31 when it is inserted into the through hole 35, and its end contacts the inner wall of the fixing hole 110, thereby fixing the fixing tube firmly in the fixing hole.
[0100] The fixing rod can be made of elastic rubber or synthetic resin, and its length protruding from the fixing tube can be adjusted. When the reflector cover 10 needs to be installed at an angle, the fixing rod at the front end in the angle direction is exposed at a short distance relative to the fixing tube, while the fixing rod at the rear end is exposed at a long distance. At the same time, the fixing rod on the opposite side corresponding to the long-distance exposed fixing rod is set to be exposed at a short distance, while the fixing rod on the opposite side corresponding to the short-distance exposed rear-end fixing rod is set to be exposed at a long distance. With the above configuration, the fixing part inserted into the fixing hole is installed in an angled state that deviates from the central axis of the fixing hole, so that the reflector cover and the reflector patch as a whole are installed in an angled state.
[0101] like Figure 24 As shown, the fixing rod can be deformed in various forms, for example, the fixing rod can be a single cylindrical structure (see...). Figure 24 a), or a structure in which a fixing rod stop 43 is formed on a single cylindrical fixing rod (see Figure 24 (b) In addition, the position of the fixed rod stop 43 can also be changed as needed.
[0102] Furthermore, another embodiment of the fixing member can be as follows: Figure 20 As shown in b, it is composed of elastic winglets 44, that is, by using plate-shaped elastic winglets 44 to form a fixing member, the tilt angle can be adjusted according to the degree of bending of the elastic winglets when inserted into the fixing hole.
[0103] Furthermore, although the reflector cover 10 and reflector patch 20 constituting the reflector of the present invention can be implemented in various modifications, they are preferably configured in a structure that improves visibility, such as... Figure 16 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 22 As shown, the reflector cover 10 is preferably configured as a polyhedral shape with an opening in the front and gradually narrowing towards the rear. It is divided by a plurality of non-reflective partitions 12 formed radially around a flat central plane portion 11, thereby forming a plurality of reflective patch fixing grooves 10g.
[0104] In addition, such as Figure 23 As shown in e, the reflector according to the present invention can also have the reflective patch 20 installed in an eccentric manner.
[0105] In the above description, the "reflective patch" used as a means of reflecting light is replaced with a "reflective plate".
[0106] The construction method of the reflector according to the present invention has been described in the above structural description, and is hereby supplemented.
[0107] First, a fixing hole 110 is formed on the structure 100 for mounting the reflector, such as a road curb. The diameter of the fixing hole is set to be larger than the diameter of the fixing tube 31 that constitutes the fixing part 30, so that the fixing tube can be smoothly inserted into the fixing hole.
[0108] The fixing tube 31 of the fixing part 30 is inserted into the fixing hole 110 provided on the structure 100 for installation. Before this, multiple fixing components 40 are installed on the fixing tube, and then the fixing tube is inserted into the fixing hole and fixed.
[0109] At this point, adjust the length of the fixing rod protruding from the fixing tube body according to the direction of the reflector's tilt, and then insert the fixing tube body into the fixing hole.
[0110] For example, as shown in the figure, when the reflector cover needs to be installed tilted downwards, the central fixing member 42 located at the lower rear end of the fixing tube is adjusted to a longer exposed state, while the directional fixing member 41 located at the end of the reflector cover near the fixing tube is adjusted to a shorter exposed state. In this state, the fixing tube is inserted into the fixing hole, and then... Figure 19 As shown, the reflector cover can be fixed in a downward tilted installation position.
[0111] Of course, in this case, if the reflector cover is installed at an angle relative to the central axis of the fixed tube, the overall tilt angle of the reflector can be further increased.
[0112] The reflector of the present invention, constructed as described above, allows for convenient adjustment of its tilt angle during construction. The installation angle of the reflector can be adjusted according to the road alignment, thereby enabling the light reflected by the reflector to enter the driver's field of vision more clearly, resulting in a significant effect.
