Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a road cone placing and recovering device, which is applicable to the technical field of road traffic auxiliary tools. Background Art

[0002] Traffic cones, also known as cones, are a type of traffic safety facility, mainly used in road construction, parking lots, accident sites and other scenes to isolate passages, maintain order and ensure safety. At present, the placement and recovery of traffic cones are mostly done manually. However, on elevated roads, expressways, or long-distance maintenance sections, the manual placement or recovery of traffic cones is not only slow and inefficient, but also wastes a lot of labor costs. It also exposes operators to dangerous environments, posing great safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the defects of the prior art mentioned above, the utility model proposes a road cone placement and recovery device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a road cone placement and recovery device, comprising a box body for accommodating road cones and having a first opening at the bottom for the road cones to pass through, at least one limiting mechanism arranged on the outer side of the lower part of the box body and used to limit or release the road cones, the limiting mechanism comprising a first limiting piece slidably connected to the box body along the inner and outer directions, a second limiting piece located above the first limiting piece and slidably connected to the box body along the inner and outer directions, an elastic piece whose inner end is connected to the outer end of the second limiting piece, a connecting piece whose inner end is connected to the outer end of the elastic piece and is slidably arranged along the inner and outer directions, and a driving component for driving the first limiting piece and the connecting piece to slide, the inner end of the second limiting piece is provided with a first inclined surface inclined from the inside to the outside and from the top to the bottom, the distance between the first limiting piece and the second limiting piece is the same as the thickness of the road cone base, and the first limiting piece is connected to the outer end of the second limiting piece by the first inclined surface. It slides by itself and has a first position in which the inner end extends to below the first opening and a second position in which the inner end retracts and leaves below the first opening. The second limiting member slides by itself and has a third position in which the inner end extends into the inner cavity of the box body and a fourth position in which the inner end retracts and leaves the inner cavity of the box body. The limiting mechanism has at least three working states. When it is in the first working state, the first limiting member is in the first position, the connecting member is away from the box body and the second limiting member is in the fourth position, and the elastic member is in a relaxed state; when the limiting mechanism is in the second working state, the first limiting member is in the second position, the connecting member is close to the box body and the second limiting member is in the third position, and the elastic member is in a relaxed state; when the limiting mechanism is in the third working state, the first limiting member and the connecting member maintain the positions in the second working state, the elastic member is compressed, and the second limiting member retracts to the fourth position.

[0005] Before use, the road cones are stacked and stored in a box, and driven by the driving assembly to put the limiting mechanism in the second working state. In this state, the inner end of the second limiting member extends into the inner cavity of the box, and can support the base of the road cone above it to prevent the road cone from falling, which is convenient for subsequent use. When it is necessary to place a road cone, the limiting mechanism is driven by the driving assembly to enter the first working state. In this state, the inner end of the second limiting member retracts and leaves the inner cavity of the box, and the inner end of the first limiting member extends below the first opening. The road cone originally restricted above the second limiting member falls and is supported by the first limiting member. Then the limiting mechanism is again entered into the second working state, the inner end of the first limiting member is retracted and leaves the lower part of the first opening, and the inner end of the second limiting member is again extended into the inner cavity of the box. Since the spacing between the first limiting member and the second limiting member is the same as the thickness of the road cone base, the second limiting member is inserted between the bottom road cone base and the second bottom road cone base when entering the third position at this time, and restricts the second bottom road cone and the several road cones stacked above it from falling. After losing the restriction of the first limiting member, the bottom road cone will fall from the first opening under the action of gravity and fall to the required placement position, thereby realizing the placement of the road cone. Subsequent road cones can repeat this process to complete the placement. When it is necessary to recover the road cone, the limiting mechanism is first placed in the second working state, and then the box is sleeved down from above the road cone placed on the ground, so that the road cone is accommodated in the box, and then the limiting mechanism is placed in the first working state, so that the first limiting piece is inserted between the road cone base and the ground, and the road cone is lifted up; then the box is controlled to sleeve the next road cone in the same manner, and during the sleeve process, the limiting mechanism is restored to the second working state, so that the next road cone can be accommodated in the box. After the next road cone is recovered into the box, it will be stacked with the previous road cone and push the previous road cone to move up, and force the limiting mechanism to enter the third working state, so that the previous road cone is pushed above the second limiting piece, and then the limiting mechanism is placed in the first working state again, and the next road cone is lifted up, so that other road cones can be recovered. Through the box and the limit mechanism, operators can quickly complete the placement and collection of road cones without the need for manual removal. The device can be installed on engineering vehicles. When the road section to be constructed is long, operators can complete the collection and placement of road cones without getting off the vehicle. This is fast and convenient, greatly improving construction efficiency, avoiding putting personnel in dangerous environments, and eliminating safety hazards.

[0006] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a first fixed block fixedly arranged on the side of the box body, a telescopic cylinder fixed on the first fixed block and having a piston rod connected to the connecting piece, and a connecting rod assembly respectively connected to the connecting piece and the first limiting piece and used to drive the first limiting piece and the connecting piece to slide in the opposite direction. The connecting piece is driven by the telescopic cylinder, and the transmission is formed by the connecting rod assembly, so that the first limiting piece can slide in the opposite direction of the connecting piece.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting rod assembly includes a second fixed block fixed to the side of the box body and located between the connecting piece and the first limit member, a connecting rod rotatably connected to the second fixed block in the middle, sliding grooves are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod, and sliders are respectively provided on the first limit member and the side of the connecting piece. The sliding grooves at both ends of the connecting rod are respectively connected to the first limit member and the sliders on the side of the connecting piece so as to be able to slide and rotate relative to each other, thereby realizing transmission between the first limit member and the connecting piece and simplifying the structure of the connecting rod assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, at least two limiting mechanisms are provided, and the at least two limiting mechanisms are respectively located on two opposite side surfaces of the box body, thereby improving the stability of limiting the road cone.

[0009] Furthermore, the placement and recovery device also includes a support base fixed on the vehicle, at least one support arm with one end rotatably connected to the support base, and the other end of the support arm is rotatably connected to the side of the box. Specifically, a driving member for driving the support arm to rotate is arranged between the support arm and the support base. The box can be fixed to the vehicle through the support base, and then the support arm can be driven to rotate by controlling the driving member to realize the rising and falling of the box, so that the operator can control the box to place or recover the road cone while operating the vehicle, thereby improving the convenience of using the road cone placement and recovery device.

[0010] Furthermore, a second opening for passing the traffic cone is provided on the upper side of the box body, so that the operator can easily fill the traffic cone into the box body through the second opening, thereby further improving the convenience of using the device.

[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] The road cone placement and recovery device of the utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Through the box body and the limiting mechanism at the bottom of the box body, the road cones can be stacked and stored in the box body, and can be dropped out one by one from the first opening at the bottom of the box body when needed to complete the placement. When recovering, the box body can be placed on the road cones to quickly store them, without manual collection and release, which not only greatly improves the collection and release speed and construction efficiency, but also greatly reduces the labor cost. In addition, the device can be used in combination with a vehicle, and the operator can complete the collection and release operation without getting off the vehicle, thereby avoiding the potential safety hazards of personnel on high-speed roads and improving safety.
