[0024] The following describes embodiments of the present application in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art. Example

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, a traffic cone placement and recovery device is specifically disclosed, including a guide frame 1, a conveyor chain 3, a door-shaped straightening frame 4, and a connecting frame 8; wherein the guide frame 1, the straightening frame 4 and the connecting frame 8 are made of uniform square steel, and the left end of the guide frame 1 is roughly bent so that the device can be roughly horizontal after being installed at an angle on the side of an engineering vehicle, so as to facilitate stability when the traffic cone is temporarily placed.

[0026] The guide rail frame 1 includes a main support frame and a guide steel pipe. The guide steel pipe is fixedly installed above both sides of the main support frame through a U-shaped connecting piece, and two oppositely arranged slide grooves 11 are formed on both sides of the main support frame. The interval between the two slide grooves 11 is smaller than the base width of the traffic cone and larger than the lower diameter of the traffic cone, so that after the traffic cone is placed on the device, the base can be inserted into the slide grooves 11 on both sides. The height of the slide groove 11 is slightly larger than the thickness of the base of the traffic cone, so that the base of the traffic cone can move along the slide groove 11.

[0027] A roller 2 is provided at the bottom of the right end of the guide rail frame 1. When in use, the right end of the guide rail frame 1 contacts the ground through the roller to prevent the right end of the guide rail frame 1 from directly contacting the ground and causing damage to the guide rail frame 1.

[0028] The guide rail frame 1 has a guide plate 12 at one end of the roller 2 , which extends the guide rail frame 1 forward. The end of the guide plate 12 is closer to the ground, so that the traffic cone can be more easily introduced into the guide rail frame 1 .

[0029] The conveyor chain 3 is arranged on the guide rail frame 1 through two sprockets and is arranged along the length direction of the conveyor chain 3. The sprocket on the left is driven to rotate by a motor to realize the operation of the conveyor chain 3. The conveyor chain 3 can be set at a height slightly higher than the bottom surface of the chute 11, so that the conveyor chain 3 can transport the road cones located in the chute 11.

[0030] The righting frame 4 is arranged at the right end of the guide rail frame 1. A U-shaped righting plate 5 is rotatably installed in the righting frame 4. The righting plate 5 is driven to rotate by a drive motor 6 installed on the righting frame 4. The drive motor 6 adopts a stepping motor or a servo motor; two oppositely arranged guide rods 7 are provided on the righting frame 4. The guide rods 7 extend to the side away from the guide rail frame 1, and the tail sections of the two guide rods 7 are inclined outward in an eight-shaped shape, so that the device can recycle traffic cones with a larger area; a photoelectric sensor is provided on the guide rod 7, and the photoelectric sensor is connected to the controller of the drive motor 6.

[0031] A first connecting groove 81 is provided at the upper end of one side of the connecting frame 8, and a second connecting groove 82 is provided at the lower end of the other side. When in use, the guide rail frame 1 is placed on the second connecting groove 82 and the first connecting groove 81 is buckled on the carriage of the engineering vehicle, so that the guide rail frame 1 is installed obliquely on the side of the engineering vehicle.

[0032] Working process of this embodiment:

[0033] 1. Deploy traffic cones: The construction vehicle travels along the route to be deployed, and the conveyor chain 3 rotates clockwise. Workers standing on the construction vehicle gradually place the traffic cones on the left end of the chute 11 according to the vehicle's travel speed and the rotation speed of the conveyor chain 3. Under the action of the conveyor chain 3, the traffic cones are transported to the right until they are released from the device and placed on the road.

[0034] 2. Recovering the road cones: The construction vehicle travels along the route where the road cones are placed. The conveyor chain 3 rotates counterclockwise. First, the guide rod 7 contacts the road cone, thereby retracting the road cone to the middle and aligning it with the passage between the two slide grooves 11. When the road cone reaches the position of the straightening frame 4, it is detected by the photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor transmits a signal to the controller of the drive motor 6. The controller controls the drive motor 6 to rotate, driving the straightening plate 5 to rotate 360 degrees counterclockwise, thereby straightening the top of the road cone. This prevents the road cone from tilting too much when the bottom of the road cone just enters the guide rail frame 1, effectively ensuring the correct recovery of the road cone. The road cone then climbs upward to the end of the guide rail frame 1 under the conveying action of the conveyor chain 3. The worker on the construction vehicle then retracts the road cone into the vehicle compartment.

[0035] With the assistance of this device, only one person is required to follow the engineering vehicle to complete the deployment and recovery operations of road cones, reducing the labor cost of the deployment and recovery operations and improving work efficiency. In addition, during the entire operation process, there is no need for workers to get off the vehicle and walk on the highway, which improves the safety of relevant workers.

[0036] Optionally, in this embodiment, dial blocks 31 are provided at intervals on the conveyor chain 3 to form a barrier on the conveyor chain 3 to prevent the road cones from sliding downwards when the conveyor chain 3 is conveying the road cones. Example

[0037] Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, one side of the connecting frame 8 is hinged with an L-shaped connecting plate 83, and a second connecting groove 82 is formed between the connecting plate 83 and the connecting frame 8, so that the inclination of the bottom surface of the connecting groove is adjustable, effectively ensuring that the roller can still fully contact the road surface when the vehicle operates on roads with different inclinations. At the same time, the torque received by the connecting frame 8 is reduced to improve its service life.

[0038] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, one end of the connecting frame 8 where the roller 2 is located is constructed with a slot, and the shape of the slot is as shown in the figure. One end of the guide plate 12 is inserted into the slot, and a limiting spring 9 is provided between the inserted end of the guide plate 12 and the connecting frame 8; when the guide plate 12 touches a large protrusion on the road surface, the insertion depth of the guide plate 12 increases, and the right end of the guide plate 12 tilts upward, so that the right end of the guide plate 12 is separated from the protrusion, effectively avoiding the damage problem caused by the hard contact between the guide plate 12 and the protrusion on the road surface.

[0039] The embodiments of the present application have been described above. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, the practical application, or the improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable other ordinary technicians in the technical field to understand the disclosed embodiments.
