[0041] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a highway intelligent early warning device 10, the internal structure of which includes:
[0042] The early warning module 110 includes an audio-visual module 1101 for ringing and / or flashing alarms, an IP intercom module 1102, a network camera 1103, and an information board 1104 with customizable text display.
[0043] Furthermore, the information board 1104 can be customized to display different working conditions and on-site situations, and realize warning functions such as "slow down" and "stop passing".
[0044] Gateway module 120 is used to establish a communication connection between early warning module 110 and an external remote server, so as to control the activation of sound and light module 1101, IP intercom module 1102, network camera 1103 and information board 1104 according to the control signals sent by the external remote server, so as to realize intelligent early warning.
[0045] The power supply module 130 is electrically connected to the early warning module 110 and the gateway module 120, and is used to supply power to the intelligent early warning device 10.
[0046] Compared with existing technologies, the intelligent early warning device for highways provided by this utility model increases the diversity and visibility of early warnings by adding an audio-visual module for ringing and / or flashing alarms, an IP intercom module, a network camera, and an information board with customizable text, thereby enhancing the safety of relevant road sections. This utility model also adds a gateway module for establishing a communication connection between the early warning device and an external remote server, which can transmit the monitoring data of each module in the early warning device to the remote server for real-time monitoring and communication of road conditions. This effectively solves the technical problem that existing technologies are not conducive to disaster prevention due to their simple structure.
[0047] like Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the power supply module 130 includes:
[0048] Solar controller 1301, battery 1302, 12VAC / DC converter 1303, 5V DC-DC converter 1304, and 24V DC-DC converter 1305;
[0049] The solar controller 1301 is electrically connected to the external solar panel and the battery 1302 respectively;
[0050] The AC input side of the 12VAC / DC converter 1303 is connected to an external AC power source, and the DC output side is electrically connected to the solar controller 1301.
[0051] Both the 5V DC-DC converter 1304 and the 24V DC-DC converter 1305 are electrically connected to the solar controller 1301.
[0052] Furthermore, during energy storage, the intelligent warning device can input electrical energy into the solar controller via solar power or mains power, which then charges the battery. During discharge, the battery supplies power to the load through the solar controller, or the load can be directly supplied with mains power through the solar controller. The solar controller not only manages the charging and discharging of the battery and load but also provides corresponding protection functions such as overcharge, over-discharge, overload, overvoltage, current limiting, short circuit, reverse connection, and over-temperature protection. The DC12V output from the solar controller is then converted by a DC-DC converter module to provide DC5V, DC12V, and DC24V power to the various components in the device.
[0053] In addition, a matching remote control can be provided for the solar controller, which can be used to configure its internal parameters. It can also be expanded with RS485 communication function and supports Modbus-RTU protocol, making it more convenient to view and modify parameters.
[0054] For example, the solar cell in this utility model can provide a rated charging power of 80W; the lead-acid battery used is 80AH, which can ensure that the equipment can operate at full load for more than 6 hours when the charging conditions are completely lost.
[0055] In one possible implementation, the sound and light module 1101 includes: a flashing light module 11011 for flashing warning and an audio module 11012 for ringing warning;

[0057] In one possible implementation, the flashing module 11011 includes: a red and blue LED flashing light;
[0058] The audio module 11012 includes: a speaker.
[0059] In one possible implementation, the sound and light module 1101 further includes: a physical switch 11013 and a fog light 11014;
[0060] The physical switch 11013 is electrically connected to the fog light 11014 through the gateway module 120 and is used to control the fog light 11014 to turn on and off.

[0065] The DI port of the IO control module 1204 is electrically connected to the physical switch 11013, and the DO port is electrically connected to the fog light 11014.
[0066] It is understood that the intelligent warning device provided by this utility model supports wired / wireless dual-network communication and uses the Modbus TCP communication protocol. The device provides dual network ports and a 4G / 5G communication module; one Ethernet port is used for wired connection to a remote server, and the other port is used to connect to an internal switch, network camera, and IP intercom module; the integrated wireless communication and Beidou module provides 4G / 5G communication and Beidou satellite positioning functions.
[0067] Furthermore, the gateway module supports serial communication methods such as RS232 / RS485, allowing for the querying or control of modules or peripherals such as strobe lights and information boards via serial ports. It then establishes a pass-through mechanism with the backend service through wired / wireless communication, enabling remote control and data exchange of devices. The core gateway integrates an IO control module to control IO signals from fog lights, physical switches, etc., and an integrated strobe driver circuit to control the strobe of multiple light sources. The audio module integrates broadcasting and power amplification functions. These devices are connected to the Modbus RTU bus via RS485, with a maximum capacity of 255 devices.
[0068] like Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the external structure of the highway intelligent early warning device 10 includes:
[0069] The solar panel 410 is fixed to the top of the highway intelligent early warning device 10 by the bracket 420;
[0070] One end of the support column 430 is mechanically connected to the bracket 420;
[0071] The base 440 is mechanically connected to the other end of the support column 430.
[0072] In one possible implementation, both the power supply module 130 and the gateway module 120 are housed within the housing of the base 440.
[0073] In one possible implementation, the early warning module 110 is mechanically connected to the column surface of the support column 430.
[0074] Furthermore, the dual-network, dual-power characteristics of the intelligent warning device greatly facilitate its deployment. With the support of wireless network and solar energy, deployment and activation can be completed without connecting a single cable. Select appropriate installation methods such as clamps or poles based on the site environment; adjust the installation direction of components such as the enclosure, solar panels, and antennas; check the internal wiring; and then turn on the internal power switch. Then, network debugging and activation can be performed via wired or wireless network.
[0075] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0076] First, it integrates a wired / wireless dual-network communication system, which can access the system platform via a private wireless network, 4G, and 5G networks. It supports high-precision BeiDou positioning and adds functions such as IP intercom, enabling remote control and real-time communication of field equipment, and realizing IP-based and node-based management of equipment clusters. Second, it realizes a dual-power compatible power supply system that combines solar and mains power. The equipment has built-in batteries, which prioritize the use of photovoltaic energy to power the equipment while storing electrical energy. It can maintain communication functions even when the battery is low. It can use mains power or energy storage, and the power supply mode can be switched intelligently. Third, it adds on-site monitoring, early warning, and alert methods, effectively conveying information through monitoring screens, audible and visual alarms, variable message signs, fog lights, and other means.
