Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of isolation and warning facilities, in particular to an intelligent mobile traffic cone. Background Art

[0002] Traffic cones are road traffic warning devices, primarily used to alert road users during construction or traffic accidents to ensure the safety of workers and road users. They can also be used to divert traffic, separate or merge pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Typical traffic cones are conical or cylindrical road signs in fluorescent red, blue, yellow, or green warning colors, often made of synthetic resin. To increase visibility to drivers, they often feature reflective tape.

[0003] Currently, in order to solve the problem of the typical immovable structure of traffic cones, their deployment and retrieval often require manual operation, which not only increases labor costs but also poses certain risks to operators in dangerous areas such as highways. Patent CN205100129U discloses a mobile intelligent traffic cone, including a chassis and a cone 2. The chassis is provided with a main control board 7 and a drive motor 9 and a communication module 5 connected to the main control board 7. The drive motor 9 is connected to a drive wheel 4 arranged below the chassis; the communication module 5 is connected to the control device in a wired / wireless manner; and at least one universal wheel 3 is also provided below the chassis. The traffic cone of this patent is equipped with a drive wheel and a universal wheel below the chassis, which does not affect stability and facilitates easy and free movement. After the communication module is connected to the control device, autonomous traffic control can be achieved through a remote control or smart terminal, without the need for manual placement. However, this patent installs the image acquisition device directly inside the cone. Although it protects the image acquisition device, the acquisition angle of the image acquisition device is also limited. Moreover, the image acquisition device in this patent cannot adjust the acquisition angle of the image acquisition device as needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an intelligent mobile traffic cone to solve the problem that the image acquisition device installed in the existing traffic cone is limited in operation.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an intelligent mobile traffic cone, comprising a cone body, a base on which the bottom of the cone body is disposed, and a walking mechanism installed at the bottom of the base; a first compartment is provided at the bottom of the cone body, a downwardly recessed storage groove is provided at the top of the cone body, and a second compartment is formed between the first compartment and the storage groove;

[0006] A cylindrical airbag is provided in the storage tank. The bottom of the airbag is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the storage tank. A device mounting base is fixed to the top of the airbag. An image acquisition device is mounted on the device mounting base via a universal pan-tilt head. An air charging and discharging port is provided on the side of the airbag.

[0007] The second compartment is provided with a controller and a wireless communication module connected to the controller signal; the walking mechanism and the image acquisition device are respectively connected to the controller signal; the outside of the second compartment is provided with a first warning device arranged along the side wall of the vertebral body;

[0008] A battery is arranged in the first cabin, and the battery is electrically connected to the walking mechanism, the image acquisition device and the controller respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a navigation module connected to the controller is provided in the second cabin.

[0010] Furthermore, a second warning device is fixedly installed on the top of the image acquisition device.

[0011] Furthermore, a storage unit connected to the controller signal is also provided in the second compartment.

[0012] Furthermore, a first magnet piece is provided at the bottom of the mounting seat, and an iron piece that matches the first magnet piece is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving slot.

[0013] Furthermore, a buffer layer is provided between the battery and the base.

[0014] Furthermore, the first warning device is a first light strip arranged along the side wall of the vertebral body; the second warning device is a warning light installed on the top of the image acquisition device; the first light strip and the warning light are electrically connected to the battery respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, the annular groove in the upper middle portion of the airbag is formed by the inward depression of the side wall of the airbag.

[0016] Furthermore, a second light strip is connected between two adjacent traffic cones, and both ends of the second light strip are respectively provided with rings that match the grooves on the airbag.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] During use, the airbag is inflated to support the device mounting base and the device thereon. After the airbag is recovered, the gas in the airbag is released, so that the device mounting base and the image acquisition device thereon are stored in the storage slot as the airbag shrinks. The airbag not only plays a supporting and shrinking role, but also has a certain shock-absorbing effect, which can provide corresponding protection for the device on the device mounting base.

[0019] The image acquisition device is installed on the equipment mounting base through a universal pan-tilt head, which makes it easy to adjust the acquisition viewing angle of the image acquisition device as needed during use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
