[0041] The working principle and working process of the pedestrian prompting device of the present utility model are briefly described below.

[0042] This utility model provides a pedestrian warning device with a built-in rubber ring for the speaker, which is then connected to the upper shell via screws. A sealing strip is installed between the upper and lower shells, which are also connected via screws. A vent plug is pre-installed in the lower shell to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside, thereby achieving a waterproof and breathable effect. Compared to conventional pedestrian warning devices that use glue dispensing for sealing and heat-pressed breathable membranes for ventilation, the pedestrian warning device proposed in this utility model reduces process complexity, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs.

[0043] 2. This utility model provides a pedestrian warning device that uses crimping instead of soldering for circuit board assembly. During actual production and assembly, after the circuit board completes the previous steps of programming and testing, production personnel place the circuit board in the lower shell. The internal structure of the lower shell restricts the lateral displacement of the circuit board. Tooling equipment is then used to crimp the circuit board to the metal pins in the lower shell, which are then secured with screws. This simplifies the production process and improves production efficiency. It also facilitates disassembly and rework, reducing rework losses and labor costs.

[0044] 3. The pedestrian warning device provided by the present invention has good promotional potential. Traditional pedestrian warning devices often use glue dispensing to achieve a sealing effect between the speaker and the housing, and between the upper shell and the lower shell. Although the glue dispensing process can be performed by an automatic glue dispensing machine, it needs to be left to stand for a long time before subsequent assembly can be carried out. The present pedestrian warning device eliminates the glue dispensing process and uses screw connections. Under the premise of ensuring a satisfactory sealing effect, it greatly shortens the pre-processing time of production, speeds up the production rhythm, and also increases the possibility of automation in the production process of pedestrian warning devices.

[0045] 4. The pedestrian warning device provided by the present invention is also provided with a plurality of mounting holes on the outside. The mounting holes can be flexibly selected to design the bracket shape according to different installation conditions to meet customer requirements. It is also easier to design a bracket with better versatility to adapt to different vehicle models, thereby saving the cost of bracket mold making.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
