Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of road warning devices, and in particular, relates to a warning cone for road construction. Background Art

[0002] Road construction warning devices are often seen in road construction, among which road cones are a common warning safety facility at construction sites or on roads. Whether in daily road maintenance or large-scale road construction projects, road cones play an indispensable role. Road cones guide vehicles and pedestrians to drive or pass on the road, especially in places such as construction sites where temporary restrictions on traffic or changes in traffic flow are required. For example, during road repairs, road cones can be used to separate lanes so that vehicles can bypass the construction area. Although road cones play an important role in municipal road construction, there are some car owners who do not abide by traffic rules, such as wanting to take shortcuts and arbitrarily move road cones to enter the construction area. The existing road cones have no warning function and cannot effectively warn the car owners in time when they are moved. This behavior not only endangers the safety of the construction area, but also may cause traffic accidents. Moreover, environmental factors during construction, such as pollution, temperature, wind, etc., may affect the reflective effect of the reflective cone. For example, pollution may cause the surface of the reflective cone to become dirty, reducing its reflective performance. Increase safety hazards, it can be seen that the existing technology needs to be further improved and improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides a warning road cone for road construction, which is used to solve the problem that the road cone cannot timely and effectively warn the vehicle owner of the danger in the construction area ahead when being moved.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A warning road cone for road construction comprises an upper cone and a lower base connected to the cone, wherein a trigger and a warning member are arranged inside the cone, and a lifting member is arranged on the central axis of the cone, wherein the lifting member extends from the top of the cone to the inside, and the lifting member can move vertically to approach or move away from the trigger member, and when the road cone is lifted and moved by the lifting member, the trigger member can sense the lifting action of the lifting member to send a signal to the warning member, and the warning member activates its warning mechanism, thereby improving the safety of the road construction area.

[0006] The warning road cone for road cone construction of the present application is designed by arranging a triggering member, a warning member and a lifting member extending from the top to the inside of the cone. This design enables the road cone to automatically trigger a warning mechanism when it is lifted and moved. Under normal circumstances, the road cone is placed on the road, the lifting member is in the original position, the triggering member is not activated, and the warning member does not work. When someone tries to lift the road cone to move, the lifting member rises accordingly, triggering the triggering member. After the triggering member senses the movement of the lifting member, it sends an electrical signal to the warning member. After receiving the signal, the warning member immediately starts the warning mechanism and sends a strong warning signal, thereby raising the attention of surrounding personnel, making them aware that there is a dangerous construction area ahead and taking corresponding avoidance or attention measures, thereby effectively reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents and accidental injuries.

[0007] In a preferred implementation, the trigger member is a gravity sensor, and the lifting member includes an operating rod, a connecting rope and a counterweight block, the connecting rope connects the operating rod and the counterweight block, when the road cone is not lifted, the counterweight block is in close contact with and presses the gravity sensor, and the warning member does not respond; when the road cone is lifted and moved by the operating rod, the counterweight block leaves the sensing area of ​​the gravity sensor, and the gravity sensor detects the weight reduction to send a signal to the warning member, triggering a warning response.

[0008] In normal state, the road cone is placed on the road, and the counterweight is connected to the operating rod through the connecting rope and is in close contact with the gravity sensor. At this time, the gravity sensor detects a stable weight and does not send a signal to the warning device, which remains unresponsive. When someone tries to lift the road cone through the operating rod, the connecting rope drives the counterweight to rise together. As the counterweight leaves the sensing area of ​​the gravity sensor, the gravity sensor detects that the weight has been reduced and immediately sends a signal to the warning device. After the warning device receives the signal from the gravity sensor, it starts and sends a strong warning signal to alert people around.

[0009] In a preferred implementation, the operating rod is provided with a limiting portion, which is arranged inside the cone. The size of the limiting portion is larger than the opening size of the top of the cone, ensuring that the operating rod cannot be directly pulled out from the top of the cone.

[0010] In a preferred implementation, an operating portion is provided at the top of the operating rod, and the size of the operating portion is larger than the size of the opening at the top of the cone so as to be grasped by a user.

[0011] In a preferred implementation, the operating portion and the limiting portion are connected via a connecting portion, and the size of the connecting portion is smaller than the size of the opening at the top of the cone, so as to realize the movement of the operating rod.

[0012] In a preferred implementation, the trigger member is a travel switch, which is electrically connected to the warning member. During the pulling process, the pulling member can push the movable contact of the travel switch to send a signal to the warning member, causing the warning member to respond.

[0013] In a preferred implementation, the warning element is a buzzer, a voice broadcast module or a flash light.

[0014] In a preferred implementation, a lighting element is provided inside or outside the operating rod, and the cone is made of a transparent or translucent material. When the lighting element is turned on, light can pass through the surface of the cone to enhance the warning effect.

[0015] In a preferred implementation, the cone is provided with a light-transmitting portion, the light-transmitting portion is in the shape of an arrow or a warning word, and when the lighting element is turned on, it can provide a directional warning through the light-transmitting portion.

[0022] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "upper" or "lower" than a second feature may be the first and second features directly contacting, or the first and second features indirectly contacting through an intermediate medium.

[0024] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. However, if it is indicated as a direct connection, it means that the two connected bodies are not connected through an intermediate structure, but are connected to form a whole only through a connecting structure. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] In the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0026] The utility model is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The specific plans adopted are:

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model provides a warning road cone for road construction, including an upper cone 1 and a lower base connected to the cone 1, a trigger member 2 and a warning member 3 are provided inside the cone 1, and a lifting member 4 is provided on the central axis of the cone 1, which extends from the top of the cone 1 to the inside, and the lifting member 4 can move vertically to approach or move away from the trigger member 2. When the road cone is lifted and moved by the lifting member 4, the trigger member 2 can sense the lifting action of the lifting member 4 to send a signal to the warning member 3, and the warning member 3 activates its warning mechanism to improve the safety of the road construction area.

[0029] The warning road cone for road construction of the present application is designed by arranging a trigger part 2, a warning part 3 and a lifting part 4 extending from the top to the inside inside the cone 1. This design enables the road cone to automatically trigger the warning mechanism when it is lifted and moved. Under normal circumstances, the road cone is placed on the road, the lifting part 4 is in the original position, the trigger part 2 is not activated, and the warning part 3 does not work. When someone tries to lift the road cone to move, the lifting part 4 rises accordingly, triggering the trigger part 2. After the trigger part 2 senses the movement of the lifting part 4, it sends an electrical signal to the warning part 3. After receiving the signal, the warning part 3 immediately starts the warning mechanism and sends out a strong warning signal to increase the attention of the surrounding personnel and make them realize that there is a dangerous construction area ahead. At the same time, at some key closed openings, the road cone can also be equipped with GPS and wireless communication modules to send location information and alarm signals to the monitoring center, thereby effectively solving the problem that the current road cone cannot issue a warning in time when it is illegally moved.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The trigger member 2 is a gravity sensor, and the lifting member 4 includes an operating rod 40, a connecting rope 41 and a counterweight 42. The connecting rope 41 connects the operating rod 40 and the counterweight 42. In a normal state, the road cone is placed on the road, and the counterweight 42 is connected to the operating rod 40 through the connecting rope 41, and is in close contact with the gravity sensor. At this time, the gravity sensor detects a stable weight and does not send a signal to the warning member 3. The warning member 3 remains in an unresponsive state. When someone tries to lift the road cone through the operating rod 40, the connecting rope 41 drives the counterweight 42 to rise together. As the counterweight 42 leaves the sensing area of ​​the gravity sensor, the gravity sensor detects a weight reduction and immediately sends a signal to the warning member 3. After the warning member 3 receives the signal from the gravity sensor, the warning member 3 is activated and sends a strong warning signal to alert people around. The wire connection relationship and signal transmission trigger relationship involved in the above scheme are based on the existing technology and principles, and this application will not repeat them.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The operating rod 40 is provided with a limiting portion 400, which is arranged inside the cone 1. The size of the limiting portion 400 is larger than the opening size at the top of the cone 1. When the road cone is placed normally, the operating rod 40 is completely inserted into the cone 1, and the limiting portion 400 is located inside the cone 1. When the operating rod 40 is pulled, the limiting portion 400 rises and is stuck on the inner wall of the cone 1. The user can easily lift and move the road cone through the operating rod 40. The setting of the limiting portion 400 ensures that the operating rod 40 cannot be directly withdrawn from the top of the cone 1, thereby preventing the road cone from being illegally disassembled or damaged, and protecting the integrity and warning function of the road cone.

[0032] Furthermore, an operating portion 401 is provided at the top of the operating rod 40, and the size of the operating portion 401 is larger than the opening size at the top of the cone 1. This has two main purposes: one is to ensure that the user can easily hold the operating portion 401 and it will not be difficult to grasp due to the small size; the second is to prevent the operating portion 401 from entering the inside of the cone 1 when the road cone is lifted and lowered. In addition, the operating portion 401 can be designed in an ergonomic shape, such as a round, oval or anti-slip texture design, to increase the comfort and stability of holding.

[0033] Furthermore, the operating part 401 and the limiting part 400 are connected by the connecting part 402, and the size of the connecting part 402 is smaller than the size of the opening at the top of the cone 1. When moving the road cone, hold the operating part 401 and apply an upward force. Since the size of the connecting part 402 is smaller than the size of the opening at the top of the cone 1, the operating rod 40 can smoothly pass through the opening and move inside the cone 1. As the operating rod 40 rises, the limiting part 400 will move with it, but since its size is larger than the maximum size allowed to pass through the inside of the cone 1 (at a certain specific position), it will be stuck on the inner wall of the cone 1 to prevent the operating rod 40 from completely detaching from the cone 1. When the road cone is lowered, the operating rod 40 returns to the initial position under gravity, and the operating rod 40 is limited by the operating part 401 to transition down, and the structural design is more reasonable.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the trigger member 2 can also be a travel switch. The travel switch is an electrical component that switches the circuit according to the travel position of the mechanical part. It has stable switching characteristics and high reliability, and can accurately detect the position change of the lifting member 4. The travel switch is electrically connected to the warning member 3. During the lifting process, the lifting member 4 can push the movable contact of the travel switch to send a signal to the warning member 3. This signal can be an electrical signal, a pulse signal or other forms of signals, depending on the interface design of the travel switch and the warning member 3. Finally, the warning member 3 responds after receiving the signal.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the warning element 3 is a buzzer, a voice broadcast module or a flash light. Considering the limitations of the flash light during the day, the flash light can also be used simultaneously with the buzzer or the voice broadcast module to form multiple warning effects. In addition, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that a controller (such as a microcontroller, PLC, etc.) is used to manage signal transmission and the triggering of the warning element 3.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a lighting component 5 is provided inside or outside the operating rod 40, and the cone 1 is made of a transparent or translucent material. When the lighting component 5 is lit, light can pass through the surface of the cone 1 to enhance the warning effect and solve the problem that the warning effect of the reflective cone is weakened when it is dirty.

[0037] Furthermore, the cone 1 is provided with a light-transmitting portion 10, which is in the shape of an arrow or a warning word. When the lighting element 5 is lit, it can pass through the light-transmitting portion 10 to provide a directional warning.

[0038] The parts not described in the present invention can be realized by adopting or drawing on the existing technology.

[0039] The above are only specific implementations of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
