Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of road warning systems, in particular to an emergency parking zone warning light system. Background Art

[0002] The emergency lane warning system is a crucial feature for improving road safety. When a vehicle enters an emergency lane, a vehicle detection device immediately detects its presence and transmits a signal to the control system. Once the control system determines the vehicle has entered the lane, the warning light automatically flashes. The emergency lane warning system promptly alerts oncoming vehicles to the presence of a vehicle parked in the lane, preventing rear-end collisions.

[0003] However, the current emergency parking lane is only a guardrail on the side or a warning light installed at a fixed height directly on the ground. Therefore, when some large trucks enter the parking lane, the warning lights are extremely low, causing most of the warning lights to be blocked by the rear side of the vehicle, resulting in the vehicles behind being unable to detect the situation in the area in time. At the same time, the current warning light device only serves as a warning when used at night. The vehicles behind are unable to effectively judge the size of the vehicles in the area (i.e., cars, buses, or trucks, etc.), so that they cannot estimate the risk conditions of the parking lane area and the roads beside it in advance, affecting road safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The embodiment of the utility model provides an emergency stop zone warning light system to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The embodiment of the present utility model adopts the following technical scheme: an emergency parking strip warning light system is arranged at a parking strip on the side of a road, and a guardrail arranged along the direction of the road is provided on the side of the parking strip; the warning light system includes: at least two geomagnetic detectors are configured and evenly installed on the ground of the parking strip; a plurality of telescopic rods are configured and distributed on the guardrail beside the parking strip at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction, each telescopic rod has at least three rod parts, and a warning light is installed on the top part of each rod part, and a sensor electrically connected to it is also provided on the side of each warning light, and the detection end of the sensor is arranged horizontally and toward one side of the parking strip for detecting whether the vehicle enters the parking strip; a plurality of connecting parts are configured, and each telescopic part is installed on the guardrail through a connecting part.

[0006] Preferably, a flange is provided at the top of each rod portion, and a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the rod portion below the flange, and the warning light and sensor corresponding to each rod portion are mounted on the mounting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the top end of each rod portion is provided with a chamber for the telescopic sliding of the rod portion at the next level, and two adjacent rod portions are locked by an elastic button after being fully extended.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting member is configured to be "U"-shaped, the connecting member is in an inverted state so that the guardrail is embedded in the open end of the connecting member, and the open end of the connecting member is locked by a set of bolts and nuts.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded hole is longitudinally provided on the portion of the connecting member located above the guardrail, and the lowermost rod portion of the telescopic rod is installed in the threaded hole in a threaded connection manner.

[0010] Preferably, the geomagnetic detector is electrically connected to the main circuit of several warning lights.

[0011] Preferably, the sensor is configured as a photoelectric sensor.

[0012] At least one of the above technical solutions adopted in the embodiment of the present utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By installing an independent sensor next to each warning light, it is possible to detect whether a vehicle is entering. Since several telescopic rods are in an extended state and each rod is equipped with a corresponding sensor and warning light, the height of the vehicle entering the parking strip can be judged based on the sensor. Depending on the height of the vehicle, the position and height of the warning light sending out the warning signal will also be different. Especially for night situations, the warning effect can be improved to avoid complete obstruction of the warning light by taller vehicles such as large trucks. At the same time, it can also remind passing vehicles to predict the type of vehicle in the parking strip in advance and make risk assessments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an emergency stop lane warning light system, which is installed at a stop lane 1 on the side of the road, aiming to improve road safety and promptly warn passing vehicles and pedestrians of the use status of the emergency stop lane 1. The roadside of the stop lane 1 is provided with a guardrail 2 arranged along the direction of the road.

[0026] The warning light 42 system mainly includes the following structures:

[0027] At least two geomagnetic detectors 3 (which are prior art and whose specific principles are not described here) are configured and evenly installed on the ground of the parking strip 1; the geomagnetic detectors 3 are used to detect the movement of vehicles on the parking strip 1. When a vehicle enters the parking strip 1, the geomagnetic detectors 3 can sense the changes in the vehicle's magnetic field and transmit the signal to the control system (not shown).

[0028] There are several telescopic rods 4 that are evenly spaced longitudinally and distributed on the guardrail 2 beside the parking strip 1. Each telescopic rod 4 has at least three rod portions 41. Specifically, Figures 3 to 5As shown, the top of each rod 41 is provided with a chamber 413 for the subsequent rod 41 to extend and slide. When two adjacent rods 41 are fully extended, they are locked by a resilient button 44. The resilient button 44 can be similar to the retractable structure on umbrella handles in the prior art to achieve the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 4. In another embodiment, the telescopic rod 4 does not employ the aforementioned mechanical locking mechanism, but instead employs intelligent electric control.

[0029] A warning light 42 is mounted at the top of each pole 41 to emit a light signal. These warning lights typically utilize high-brightness LEDs, offering excellent visibility and penetration, allowing them to be clearly seen by oncoming vehicles from a distance and even in inclement weather. Each warning light 42 is also electrically connected to a sensor 43 located adjacent to it. The sensor's detection end is positioned transversely and faces one side of the parking lane 1 to detect vehicles entering the parking lane 1. Sensor 43 can be an infrared sensor, radar sensor, or other sensor capable of sensing changes in the vehicle's heat or movement.

[0030] There are several connecting members 5 , and each telescopic member is installed on the guardrail 2 through a connecting member 5 .

[0031] When a vehicle enters parking lane 1, geomagnetic detector 3 first detects the presence of the vehicle and sends a signal to the control system. The geomagnetic detector 3 is electrically connected to the main circuits of several warning lights 42. Based on the received signal, the control system activates the main circuits of the warning lights 42. Each warning light 42 is equipped with an independent sensor 43 next to it, which can detect whether a vehicle has entered. Since the telescopic rods 4 are all extended, and each rod portion 41 is equipped with a corresponding sensor 43 and warning light 42, the height of the vehicle entering the parking lane 1 can be determined based on the sensor 43. Depending on the height of the vehicle, the position and height at which the warning light 42 emits the warning signal also vary. This improves the warning effect, especially at night, by preventing taller vehicles such as large trucks from completely blocking the warning light 42. It also reminds passing vehicles to predict the type of vehicle in the parking lane 1 in advance and to prepare for risk assessment.

[0032] Regarding the judgment of the vehicle height mentioned above, the following explanation can be referred to: As shown in the figure, there are three layers of sensors 43. When a small vehicle enters the parking strip 1, since only the sensors 43 in the lower layer detect the obstruction of the object, only the sensors 43 in the lowermost area activate the corresponding warning lights 42. Similarly, when a medium-sized vehicle enters the parking strip 1, the warning lights 42 in the lower and middle layers are all lit, and when a large vehicle enters the parking strip 1, all the warning lights 42 emit warning light 42. In addition, there are at least two geomagnetic detectors 3 to avoid misjudgment caused by garbage and other objects in the external environment. Therefore, only when all the geomagnetic detectors 3 sense the entry of the vehicle will the circuit of the entire warning light 42 and sensor 43 be connected. Whether the warning light 42 is on is determined by the sensor 43 in the corresponding position.

[0033] In some practical applications, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, each rod 41 is provided with a flange 411 at its top, and a mounting plate 412 is fixedly connected to the rod 41 below the flange 411. The warning light 42 and sensor 43 corresponding to each rod 41 are mounted on the mounting plate 412. In this embodiment, due to the mounting positions of the sensors 43 and warning light 42, the rods 41 of the telescopic rod 4 cannot be fully retracted. Therefore, by providing the mounting plate 412 and flange 411, when two adjacent rods 41 are retracted, the mounting plate 412 on the lower rod 41 abuts against the flange 411 on the upper rod 41, thereby achieving position control. The fully retracted telescopic rod 4 is primarily used on the guardrail 2 in the front and rear areas of the parking strip 1, where vehicles are not obstructed. Therefore, the lower position of the warning light 42 can alert passing vehicles, and the warning light 42 can also be more concentrated, enhancing the warning effect.

[0034] In some practical applications, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting member 5 is set to be "U"-shaped, and the connecting member 5 is in an inverted state so that the guardrail 2 is embedded in the open end of the connecting member 5, and the open end of the connecting member 5 is locked by a set of bolts 51 and nuts 52. Specifically, the internal width of the connecting member 5 should be adapted to the actual width of the guardrail 2, and the open end of the connecting member 5 should be provided with a through-hole, through which the bolt 51 passes and is locked by the nut 52, so that the two sides of the connecting member 5 are relatively stably squeezed and fixed on the guardrail 2.

[0035] In some practical applications, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connection method between the connecting member 5 and the telescopic rod 4 can adopt the following structure: the portion of the connecting member 5 located above the guardrail 2 is longitudinally provided with a threaded hole 53, and the rod portion 41 at the lower end of the telescopic rod 4 is installed in the threaded hole 53 in a threaded connection manner, so that the two are detachable, which is convenient for transportation, replacement, maintenance and other operations.

[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
