Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic retracting and releasing device for traffic cones, belonging to the technical field of intelligent transportation. Background Art

[0002] With the increase of highway mileage in my country, the task of highway maintenance is becoming increasingly arduous, and it is necessary to adopt a closed traffic control method, that is, to place traffic signs outside the work area to guide the movement of vehicles. Generally, traffic cones are placed outside the work area to guide the movement of vehicles, especially when working on highways. Due to the extremely high speed of driving, it is even more necessary to place traffic cones to guide traffic; when placing and collecting traffic cones on highways, usually multiple construction workers place or recycle traffic cones one by one along a specific placement or recovery route of traffic cones. If the route is relatively long, this working method is obviously not feasible, which will not only cause low work efficiency and high operation risk coefficient, but also increase labor costs; another method is for people to place and recycle manually on one side of the car while the car is moving forward, which will cause inaccurate placement, difficult to control the spacing of traffic cones, and unstable and tilted traffic cones, reducing work efficiency and work quality.

[0003] A traffic cone automatic retracting and releasing device is designed. The traffic cone automatic retracting and releasing device is used for special equipment for collecting traffic cones such as traffic cone collection engineering vehicles and traffic cone collection stackers. The device is installed on one side of the bottom of the carriage of the traffic cone automatic retracting and releasing storage vehicle. On the one hand, in the traffic cone recovery stage, the device is used to pick up the traffic cones positioned by the traffic cone bidirectional guide positioning mechanism and place the picked up traffic cones in the vehicle. On the other hand, in the traffic cone placement stage, the device picks up the traffic cones stored in the vehicle and places them on the ground. At present, some domestic enterprises have started to develop and research the road cone recovery equipment of the traffic cone automatic retracting and releasing vehicle. The main retracting and releasing technologies are belt structure type, manipulator type retracting and releasing and combined type, which are high in cost, difficult to maintain, low in efficiency, and cannot be fully automatically retracted.
