[0031] Working principle: When encountering snowy weather, in order to prevent excessive rain and snow from adhering to the sign body 4 and affecting its use, it is only necessary to turn on the electric push rod 12. The electric push rod 12 can then push the rack 7 upward to move. The rack 7 slides through the slide rod 6 and the side groove 5. During the upward movement of the rack 7, it can drive the transmission gear 8 meshing with it to rotate clockwise. The transmission gear 8 can then drive the rotating gear 10 meshing with it to rotate counterclockwise. The rotating gear 10 then drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotating rod 9 can then drive the shielding plate 11 to rotate counterclockwise until the shielding plate 11 rotates. The shielding plate 11 can be rotated 90 degrees, and the shielding plate 11 can be located on the top of the sign body 4, thereby shielding rain and snow, and preventing rain and snow from adhering to the surface of the sign body 4 and affecting the use. The utility model uses the design of the shielding plate 11 to rotate to the top of the sign in snowy or rainy weather, effectively preventing rain and snow from directly adhering to the surface of the sign, ensuring that the sign information is clearly visible. At the same time, the electric push rod 12 and the rack 7 transmission mechanism are used to realize the automatic expansion and folding of the shielding plate 11, without manual intervention, simple operation, and improved convenience and automation of use. Rain and snow adhere to the surface of the sign, reducing the risk of moisture, ice and corrosion on the surface of the sign, thereby extending the service life of the sign. In the process of unfolding the shielding plate 11, the scraper 17 can synchronously adhere to the surface of the rubbing sign body 4, so that the snow on the surface of the sign body 4 can be scraped off. At the same time, due to the tension of the tension spring 16, the tension spring 16 can pull the round block 15 to move, and the round block 15 can drive the long rod 14 to move. At this time, the long rod 14 can drive the scraper 17 to be closer to the surface of the sign body 4, so that the snow scraping effect can be improved. In the utility model, During the unfolding process of the shielding plate 11, the scraper 17 can synchronously adhere to and rub the surface of the sign body 4, effectively and automatically clearing the snow on the surface of the sign, ensuring that the sign information is clearly visible without the need for manual cleaning. At the same time, through the tension of the tension spring 16, the round block 15 and the long rod 14 are pulled to move, so that the scraper 17 is more closely attached to the surface of the sign body 4, thereby improving the snow scraping effect and ensuring that the snow will not remain on the surface of the sign. By effectively clearing the snow on the surface of the sign, the icing and corrosion that may be caused by snow accumulation are reduced, thereby extending the service life of the sign and related mechanical devices.
