[0002] Highway traffic safety facilities refer to the general term for pedestrian tunnels, pedestrian bridges, lighting equipment, guardrails, pillars, signs and markings, warning cones, and traffic signal facilities set up along the road to ensure the safety of vehicles and pedestrians and give full play to the role of roads. Highway traffic safety facilities include highway traffic safety facilities, which include: plastic road cones, rubber road cones, corner guards, anti-collision barrels, isolation piers, anti-glare panels, water barriers, anti-collision barrels, speed bumps, parking locks, reflective signs, rubber column caps, contour marks, road spikes, elastic columns, triangular warning frames, wide-angle mirrors, warning lines, guardrails, crystal grids, traffic clothes, highway ancillary facilities, solar flashing lights, solar yellow lights, plum blossom lights, LED batons and other products. Traffic signs, markings, guardrails, isolation fences, contour marks, induction marks, road spike anti-glare facilities, etc. are all laid along the road. Highway traffic safety facilities play a very important role in ensuring highway driving safety, reducing the severity of accidents, beautifying road landscapes, smoothing traffic flow, and improving driving comfort.

[0003] During existing road construction or traffic accidents, warning posts are usually conical hollow plastic cylinders set up on the roadside boundary lines. They are light in weight and can be easily blown down or hit by the wind from passing vehicles. They need to be frequently relocated manually, which is very dangerous. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A tumbler safety cone comprises an upper vertebral body and a lower base, wherein the upper vertebral body and the lower base are connected by injection molding and / or by a connecting piece, the upper vertebral body is made of EVA foam material, and the lower base is made of plastic or rubber material; wherein the bottom surface of the lower base is a downwardly convex arc surface, and the arc surface and the lower base made of plastic or rubber material form a tumbler structure.

[0007] Preferably, a counterweight is provided in the lower base.

[0008] Preferably, the counterweight is a counterweight block, which is in the shape of a spherical segment or a spherical table, and the counterweight block is filled at the bottom of the lower base during injection molding.

[0009] Preferably, the lower base is wrapped with EVA foam material.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom diameter of the upper vertebral body is the same as the top diameter of the lower base.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting piece is a connecting rod, one end of which is injection-molded into the lower base, and the other end of which is plugged into or injection-molded into the upper vertebral body.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the upper vertebral body is coated with a warning reflective strip.

[0013] In summary, the advantages of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] The EVA foam material is set as the upper vertebral body and the plastic or rubber material is set as the lower base with a curved surface at the bottom, so that the overall structure of the safety cone is lighter and more convenient to carry and move, and the design of the curved surface makes it difficult to tip over; a counterweight is set inside the lower base to ensure the center of gravity of the safety cone, so that it is not easily blown away by strong winds.

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0020] It should also be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not require further definition and explanation in subsequent drawings.

[0021] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a tumbler safety cone comprises an upper cone body 1 and a lower base 2, wherein the bottom surface of the lower base 2 is set as an arc surface 3, the bottom surface of the lower base 2 is a downwardly convex arc surface 3, the arc surface 3 and the lower base 2 made of plastic or rubber material form a tumbler structure, and the bottom diameter of the upper cone body 1 is the same as the top diameter of the lower base 2. Through the above-described design, the safety cone as a whole has the effect of a tumbler that is not easy to tip over, and can not shift after tilting and tipping over under the action of external force, and can automatically return to an upright state in the original position.

[0023] Specifically, the upper vertebral body 1 and the lower base 2 are connected by injection molding and / or by connecting parts, wherein the upper vertebral body 1 is made of EVA foam material, and the lower base 2 is made of plastic or rubber material, which makes the overall structure of the safety cone lighter and more convenient to carry and move; and the safety cone made of the above materials can reduce the damage to the vehicle when the vehicle collides, and can reduce the subsequent vehicle maintenance costs.

[0024] Furthermore, the EVA foam material used in the upper vertebral body 1 can wrap around the lower base 2 during injection molding, which can reduce the wear on the lower base 2 and increase the service life of the safety cone.

[0025] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a counterweight is provided in the lower base 2. The counterweight can be, but is not limited to, a counterweight block 4, which is a spherical segment or a spherical table, and is filled at the bottom of the lower base 2 during injection molding. By providing the counterweight / counterweight block 4, the center of gravity of the tumbler safety cone can be ensured to be at the bottom, and the safety cone can be better rebounded after tipping over.

[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the connecting member is a connecting rod 5, one end of which is injection molded in the lower base 2, and the other end is plugged or injection molded in the upper vertebral body 1. By providing the connecting rod 5 connecting the upper vertebral body 1 and the lower base 2, the connection can be more secure.

[0027] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the upper vertebral body 1 is coated with a warning reflective strip 6. By arranging the warning reflective strip 6, it is possible to better warn passing vehicles.

[0028] The above is a description of the embodiments of the utility model. Through the above description of the disclosed embodiments, professionals and technicians in the field can implement or use the utility model. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to professionals and technicians in the field. The general principles defined in this article can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the utility model. Therefore, the utility model will not be limited to these embodiments shown in this article, but will conform to the widest range consistent with the principles and novelties disclosed in this article.
