Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of signage, and more particularly to a solar-powered outdoor sign. Background Technology

[0002] Directional signs, also called directional signs or signposts, are used to indicate directions, such as restroom signs or road signs. They serve to mark and warn, and are widely used in scenic spots, shopping malls, and roads.

[0003] The signs in the relevant technology usually include a support base, on which a support column is vertically fixed. Multiple signs are set at the top of the support column. Tourists can determine the corresponding location and direction of travel by observing the direction indicated by the signs.

[0004] However, due to their relatively long length, the signs are less resistant to impact. In strong winds, especially when strong winds blow directly on the signs, they are prone to bending or even breaking, which affects their stability and needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a solar-powered outdoor sign that can reduce the risk of bending or even breaking the sign and improve the stability of the sign.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a solar-powered outdoor signboard, comprising a support base and a support shaft, wherein a hollow rectangular support box is fixedly connected to the top of the support shaft, and support holes are respectively provided through the four outer walls of the support box, wherein a signboard is horizontally slidably connected in each of the support holes, and a driving component is provided on the support box, the driving component being used to control the four signsboards to move synchronously toward the center position of the support box, and to cause at least one-third of the positions of the four signsboards to enter the support box respectively.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a pair of guide rails are fixedly connected to the four outer walls of the support box, each pair of guide rails is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the corresponding sign, each sign is horizontally slidably engaged with the corresponding pair of guide rails, and the length of the guide rails is at least two-thirds of the length of the sign.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: each of the guide rails has a support rib fixedly connected to its two side walls, and the support rib is fixedly connected to the support box.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the driving component includes four compression springs respectively sleeved on the corresponding signboards, and the four signsboards are respectively fixedly connected to a support plate at one end close to each other. One end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the corresponding support plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the corresponding inner wall of the support box.

[0010] A support plate is vertically slidably connected inside the support box. Four limiting posts are vertically fixedly connected to the support plate. The four limiting posts correspond one-to-one with the four support plates, and the limiting posts abut against and limit the corresponding support plates. A control component is provided inside the support box. The control component is used to drive the support plate to move downward and to separate the four limiting posts from the corresponding support plates, so that the four signs move toward the center position of the support box under the elastic force of the corresponding compression springs.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that the control element includes an electric push rod disposed within the support box, the bottom of the electric push rod being fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the support box, and the telescopic end being fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a pair of telescopic rods are provided inside the support box, the pair of telescopic rods are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the electric push rod, and the top end of each telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the support plate and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the support box.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a drive motor is fixedly connected to the support plate, a push rod is horizontally fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and a push ball is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod away from the drive motor. The push ball is used to push the four support plates to move sequentially, and enable the four signs to move sequentially toward the outside of the support box, so as to improve the indication and warning effect of the signs.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a battery is provided inside the support base, and the drive motor and the electric push rod are respectively connected to the battery to meet the backup power supply requirements of the drive motor and the electric push rod.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that a solar panel is provided on the top of the support box, and the solar panel is connected to the battery.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: lighting lamps are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the four outer walls of the support box, the four lighting lamps are respectively located directly above the corresponding signboards, and the four lighting lamps are respectively connected to the storage battery to meet the backup power supply requirements of the lighting lamps.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Because part of the sign can be retracted into the support box, the length of the sign exposed outside the support box is shortened, thereby reducing the area of ​​the sign exposed outside the support box, effectively improving the sign's impact resistance, reducing the risk of the sign bending or even breaking, and thus improving the stability of the sign in use;

[0019] 2. By setting guide rails, the guiding effect of the sign can be improved, allowing the sign to retract smoothly into the support box. It can also support and limit the sign, further improving the sign's impact resistance and reducing the risk of sign breakage.

[0020] 3. By controlling the push rod with the drive motor to rotate the push ball, the four signs move in sequence under the action of the push ball and the corresponding compression spring. This design allows the signs to move horizontally, attracting the attention of tourists and improving the warning and reminder effect. At the same time, this design also improves the indication effect, allowing tourists to quickly confirm the direction of travel, thereby improving practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2A solar-powered outdoor sign includes a support base 1 for fixing to the ground, a support shaft 2 vertically fixedly connected to the support base 1, a hollow rectangular support box 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support shaft 2, support holes 4 penetrating through the four outer walls of the support box 3, and a sign 5 horizontally slidably connected in each support hole 4.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The four outer walls of the support box 3 are respectively fixedly connected with a pair of guide rails 6. Each pair of guide rails 6 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the corresponding sign 5. Each sign 5 is horizontally slidably engaged with the corresponding pair of guide rails 6, and the length of the guide rail 6 is at least two-thirds of the length of the sign 5.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The support box 3 is equipped with a drive component 7, which is used to control the four signs 5 to move synchronously toward the center position of the support box 3, and to make at least one-third of the positions of the four signs 5 enter the support box 3 respectively.

[0029] When encountering strong winds, the four signs 5 are controlled by the drive unit 7 to move synchronously toward the center of the support box 3, and at least one-third of the positions of the four signs 5 are respectively inserted into the support box 3. At this time, the remaining positions of the signs 5 are located in the corresponding pair of guide rails 6.

[0030] Because part of the sign 5 is recessed into the support box 3, the length of the sign 5 exposed outside the support box 3 is shortened, thereby reducing the area of ​​the sign 5 exposed outside the support box 3, effectively improving the impact resistance of the sign 5, reducing the risk of the sign 5 bending or even breaking, and thus improving the stability of the sign in use.

[0031] Furthermore, the guide rail 6 enhances the guiding effect on the signboard 5, allowing it to retract smoothly into the support box 3. Simultaneously, the guide rail 6 provides support and limits for the signboard 5, improving its impact resistance and reducing the risk of breakage.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 Each guide rail 6 has a support rib plate 8 fixedly connected to its two side walls. The support rib plate 8 is perpendicular to the sign 5 and is fixedly connected to the support box 3, thereby improving the structural strength of the connection between the guide rail 6 and the support box 3 and improving the impact resistance of the guide rail 6.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3The driving component 7 includes four compression springs 71 respectively disposed inside the support box 3, and the four compression springs 71 are respectively sleeved on the corresponding sign 5. The four sign 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the support plate 72 at their close ends, one end of the compression spring 71 is fixedly connected to the corresponding support plate 72, and the other end is fixedly connected to the corresponding inner wall of the support box 3. The compression spring 71 is used to push the sign 5 toward the center position of the support box 3.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 A support plate 73 is horizontally arranged inside the support box 3. A pair of telescopic rods 10 are vertically arranged below the support plate 73. The top end of each telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the support plate 73, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the support box 3, so that the support plate 73 can move vertically.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 Four limiting posts 74 are vertically fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 73. Each of the four limiting posts 74 corresponds to one of the four support plates 72, and the limiting posts 74 abut against the corresponding support plates 72 to prevent the sign 5 from moving toward the center of the support box 3. At the same time, a control component 9 is provided inside the support box 3. The control component 9 is used to drive the support plate 73 to move downward and to separate the four limiting posts 74 from the corresponding support plates 72.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The control component 9 includes an electric push rod 91 housed within the support box 3, and a pair of telescopic rods 10 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the electric push rod 91. The bottom of the electric push rod 91 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom side of the support box 3, and the telescopic end is fixedly connected to the support plate 73, enabling the support plate 73 to move vertically quickly. In this embodiment, a wireless receiver is provided on the electric push rod 91, allowing the operator to wirelessly control the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 91.

[0037] The support plate 73 is controlled to move downward by the electric push rod 91 until the four limit posts 74 are separated from the corresponding support plates 72. At this time, the four signs 5 move toward the center of the support box 3 under the elastic force of the corresponding compression springs 71, so that parts of the four signs 5 are retracted into the support box 3.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3A drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the support plate 73. A push rod 12 is horizontally fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 11, and a push ball 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod 12 away from the drive motor 11. The push ball 13 is used to push the four support plates 72 to move sequentially, and to enable the four signs 5 to move sequentially toward the outside of the support box 3.

[0039] As the drive motor 11 drives the push rod 12 to rotate the push ball 13, the push ball 13 abuts against the support plate 72 and pushes the support plate 72 to move the corresponding sign 5. At this time, the compression spring 71 is compressed and deformed. As the push ball 13 gradually separates from the support plate 72, the support plate 72 can then move the sign 5 back to its original position under the action of the compression spring 71, until the support plate 73 abuts against the corresponding limit post 74.

[0040] This design allows sign 5 to move, attracting visitors' attention and thus improving its warning and reminder effects. Simultaneously, this design enhances directional guidance, enabling visitors to quickly determine their direction, thereby increasing its practicality.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 Lighting lamps 14 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the four outer walls of the support box 3. The four lighting lamps 14 are located directly above the corresponding signs 5, which not only makes it convenient for tourists to view the information on the signs 5 at night, but also increases the lighting function of the signs.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The support base 1 is equipped with a storage battery 15. The drive motor 11, electric push rod 91 and lighting lamp 14 are respectively connected to the storage battery 15. In this embodiment, the drive motor 11, electric push rod 91 and lighting lamp 14 adopt a "dual power supply" mode. That is, one line of the drive motor 11, electric push rod 91 and lighting lamp 14 is connected to the urban power grid to meet the power supply needs of the drive motor 11, electric push rod 91 and lighting lamp 14. The other line is connected to the storage battery 15. When the urban power grid fails or has problems, the storage battery 15 can meet the backup power supply needs of the drive motor 11, electric push rod 91 and lighting lamp 14.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , refer to Figure 1 A solar panel 16 is installed on the top of the support box 3. The solar panel 16 is connected to the storage battery 15. The solar panel 16 can convert light energy into electrical energy to charge the storage battery 15, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.
