[0002] Signs are mainly used on runways and taxiways of civil aviation airports. They are used to mark the path, position and other runway information on the runway and taxiway, and are important visual aids to guide the movement of aircraft on the ground. Taking Changsha Airport as an example, there are 610 signs of various types, all of which are designed as Class II, with a wind resistance level of 322km / h.
[0003] With the expansion of airports and the operation of large aircraft, the wake vortex of large aircraft such as Boeing 747 is very large when taking off (the exit wind speed reaches 603km / h). During daily maintenance, maintenance personnel found that the fastening bolts connecting the signboard to the ground were exposed to the outdoors for a long time, and the impact of the aircraft takeoff vibration and wake vortex formed low-frequency vibration, which caused the bolts to loosen or even strip, resulting in the weakening of the wind resistance of the signboard and the risk of displacement. If the maintenance is not timely or the limit of the bolts is reached, the signboard will not be able to resist the wake vortex and be blown into the taxiway, causing the signboard box to be damaged, disintegrated, deformed, displaced, etc. Such a large number of signboards need to be maintained, which is also costly, time-consuming and labor-intensive for maintenance personnel.

[0025] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A plurality of supporting flanges 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sign body 1. The supporting flanges 2 are connected to the bottom surface and are hollow inside. This embodiment includes a box detection module 3, a power supply module 4, and an alarm module 5. The box detection module 3 is arranged inside the hollow supporting flange 2, and the bottom surface of the box detection module 3 and the bottom surface of the supporting flange 2 are located on the same horizontal plane. The power supply module 4 is used to provide power to all components such as the sign. The alarm module 5 is connected to the box detection module 3 through a wire, and transmits a signal to the alarm module 5 for alarm when the box detection module 3 is triggered.
[0027] The box detection module 3 includes a rotary pressure regulating part 31, a connecting part 32, a shell 33, a bottom cover 34, a micro switch 35, a component fixing part 36, and a pressure sensor 37. The rotary pressure regulating part 31 and the connecting part 32 are arranged on the top of the shell 33, and the bottom cover 34, the micro switch 35, the component fixing part 36 and the pressure sensor 37 are arranged on the bottom of the shell 33. The pressure sensor 37 and the bottom surface of the flange are in the same plane.
[0028] The rotary pressure regulating member 31 and the connecting member 32 are circular in shape, wherein the outer peripheral surface of one end of the rotary pressure regulating member 31 has a thread, and the other end thereof protrudes outward perpendicularly to the axis with a limiting boss 311 to form a step.
[0029] The inner circumference of the connecting piece 32 has a thread, and one end thereof protrudes outward perpendicularly to the axis with an abutting boss 321 to form a step. The abutting boss 321 abuts against the top of the outer shell 33 to clamp the connecting piece 32. The rotating pressure regulating piece 31 is threadedly connected to the connecting piece 32. In addition, the rotating pressure regulating piece 31 has four rotating grooves 312 on one side close to the limiting boss 311. The rotating grooves 312 are circular and evenly distributed. The rotating pressure regulating piece 31 is rotated for pressure adjustment by a special handle 6. The handle 6 has a rotating boss 61 that matches the rotating groove 312. The handle 6 can adjust the rotating pressure regulating piece 31 to rotate until the abutting boss 321 and the limiting boss 311 abut against each other.
[0030] One end of the element fixing part 36 is protruded with a snap-fitting boss 361 in the outward direction perpendicular to the axis, and the outer diameter of the other end is the same as the inner diameter of the shell 33, so it is inserted into the inside of the shell 33. The outer peripheral surface of the element fixing part 36 forms an external step due to the existence of the snap-fitting boss 361, and the inner peripheral surface of the snap-fitting boss 361 is correspondingly recessed outward, so that its inner diameter is the same as the outer diameter of the other side of the element fixing part 36, thereby forming an internal step; the inner peripheral surface of the element fixing part 36 has a snap-fitting groove 362 that matches the size of the micro switch 35 to fix the micro switch 35, and the micro switch 35 abuts on the internal step; the element fixing part 36 is snapped to the bottom of the shell 33 through the snap-fitting boss 361, the micro switch 35 is set in the snap-fitting groove 362, the bottom cover 34 is located at the bottom of the micro switch 35 and contacts with the contact of the micro switch 35, and is in a contact but not triggered state; the pressure sensor 37 is set below the bottom cover 34, and the pressure sensor 37 is in contact with the ground and is set with a pressure value.
[0031] Four micro switches 35 are provided and evenly distributed in a circle, and the four micro switches 35 are connected in parallel with each other, and the fixed hooks 363 are provided in pairs and four pairs are provided. In this embodiment, the alarm module 5 includes an alarm buzzer and an alarm filament, which emits a bright light at night to remind the staff while emitting a sound. The shell 33 is made of carbon fiber material mainly because of its strong pressure bearing capacity and strong deformation resistance. The pressure sensor 37 is a thin film pressure sensor 37, and a circular large-diameter waterproof thin film pressure sensor 37 is used. On the one hand, it is adapted to the circular shell 33, and on the other hand, the large diameter can detect in all directions.
[0032] In addition, the panel on the main body of the sign adopts an open hinge, and the box body is fixed by adding locks on three sides. A travel switch is installed between the panel and the box body, and the travel switch detection value is set to 0.5 mm. If more than 2 locks on the panel fall off, or the distance between the door panel and the box body exceeds 1 mm, an alarm will be generated.
[0033] The implementation principle of the airport taxiway sign safety monitoring device in the embodiment of the utility model is as follows:
[0034] The diaphragm pressure sensor 37 is a first-level response that only monitors whether the pressure reaches the preset value. It mainly checks whether the bolts on the supporting flange 2 are loose. For example, the initial set pressure value of the diaphragm pressure sensor 37 is 50kg. When the bolts on the supporting flange 2 are loose, the pressure value of the diaphragm pressure sensor 37 will be too low, thereby triggering an alarm.
[0035] The micro switch 35 detects the fit between the flange and the cement floor and has a secondary response. For example, when the angle between the flange base and the horizontal plane is greater than 2° at any edge of the flange, that is, the stroke of the micro switch 35 exceeds 0.2 mm, the alarm state is triggered.
[0036] If the film pressure sensor 37 fails, the primary response will be abandoned and the micro switch 35 will belong to the secondary response. As long as the sign is tilted at any angle exceeding 2 degrees, the micro switch 35 will trigger an alarm.
[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Among them, the same parts are represented by the same figure marks. It should be noted that the words "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up" and "down" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the words "inside" and "outside" refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
