Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traffic cones, in particular to a novel traffic cone. Background Art

[0002] Traffic cones, also known as conical traffic signs, road markers, and ice cream cones, are commonly known as road cones or triangular cones. They are generally temporary conical or cylindrical road signs. They are generally used to alert road users during construction projects and accidents to ensure the personal safety of construction workers and road users. They are also used for traffic diversion, separation or merging of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Traffic cones usually use a simple cone shape and reflective strips to enhance visibility at night or in bad weather conditions. However, their functions are relatively simple and cannot meet the complex and changing needs of traffic management. Especially on highways or expressways, when there is construction or maintenance, traffic cones are usually used to block lanes or maintenance vehicles. However, vehicles on highways or expressways travel at high speeds, and some traffic cones are placed far away from maintenance vehicles or construction sections. When drivers notice the traffic cones, they do not slow down in time. When they find the maintenance section or maintenance vehicle, the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, which can easily cause traffic accidents.

[0003] Existing traffic cones are unable to monitor and warn vehicles of their speed in real time, making it difficult for vehicles to slow down in time and increasing the risk of accidents. Furthermore, traditional traffic cones are relatively short. At night or in dimly lit environments, while they can provide a certain warning effect, the warning effect is limited and it is difficult to attract sufficient attention from drivers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] Example 1

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 , the present application discloses a novel traffic cone, which adopts the technical scheme of comprising a base 1, a three-pyramid-shaped warning board 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a battery 3 is fixedly installed in the cavity inside the lower end of the warning board 2, a control module 4 is fixedly installed in the groove at the back of the warning board 2, the control module 4 is electrically connected with the battery 3, a handle 14 is arranged on the side surface of the base 1 and the back surface of the warning board 2, a solar panel 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the lower end of the warning board 2, the solar panel 18 is electrically connected with the battery 3 through a solar controller, two adjustment buttons 5 are fixedly installed on the side surface of the protruding part at the back of the warning board 2, a high-brightness flashing light bar 6 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the warning board 2, a radar speed measurement module 7 is fixedly installed in the groove at the top of the front surface of the warning board 2, a sound alarm 8 is fixedly installed in the groove at the bottom side surface of the base 1, and the adjustment button 5, the high-brightness flashing light bar 6, the radar speed measurement module 7 and the sound alarm 8 are electrically connected with the control module 4.

[0023] The working principle of the embodiment is that the base 1 and the warning board 2 are placed at the edge of the road, and the radar speed measurement module 7 is directed towards the direction of oncoming vehicles. The warning speed is adjusted by adjusting the button 5. When the speed exceeds 40km / h or 60km / h, the warning is given to remind the driver to slow down, so as to avoid traffic accidents caused by untimely braking. When used in sunny weather, the solar panel 18 converts sunlight into electrical energy to charge the storage battery 3, reducing the dependence on external power supply, meeting the development trend of green traffic, and the solar panel 18 is connected with the storage battery 3 through the solar controller, which can effectively prevent the storage battery 3 from being overcharged.

[0024] 60km / h, the control module 14 will automatically control the high-brightness flashing light bar 6 to work, and emit high-brightness and fast-flashing light, at the same time, the control module 4 will automatically control the sound alarm 8 to emit alarm sound, reminding the driver to slow down in time, so as to avoid traffic accidents caused by untimely braking. When used in sunny weather, the solar panel 18 converts sunlight into electrical energy to charge the storage battery 3, reducing the dependence on external power supply, meeting the development trend of green traffic, and the solar panel 18 is connected with the storage battery 3 through the solar controller, which can effectively prevent the storage battery 3 from being overcharged.

[0025] The working principle of the radar speed measurement module is that when there is relative motion between the target and the radar, the electromagnetic wave signal emitted by the radar will be reflected back after hitting the target. The frequency of the reflected signal will change due to the relative motion between the target and the radar. If the target approaches the radar antenna, the frequency of the reflected signal will be higher than that of the transmitter, i.e. the Doppler frequency is positive. Conversely, if the target moves away from the antenna, the frequency of the reflected signal will be lower than that of the transmitter, i.e. the Doppler frequency is negative. By measuring the change of the frequency, the relative speed between the target and the radar can be calculated.
