Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of equipment and devices for building new roads and repairing or constructing existing roads, specifically relating to equipment for collecting and releasing traffic cones. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in the mileage of highways in my country and the rapid growth of various motor vehicles, asphalt pavements will develop potholes, bulges, large-area cracks, and eventually become unusable after a long period of operation. The maintenance workload of asphalt pavements is increasing day by day. When carrying out local repairs on asphalt pavements, rubber cones are first placed to partially close traffic and repair the road surface. The placement and removal of traffic cones are usually carried out manually. For longer sections, the placement and removal of traffic cones are carried out by 2 to 3 construction workers along a specific route on the highway from the rear of the road construction vehicle. This manual operation method is slow, has a low safety factor, and the spacing of traffic cones is not uniform.

[0003] Chinese patent application number 2011103853553, entitled "Automatic Traffic Cone Deployment and Retrieval Device," discloses a device comprising a cone deployment device, suspension and guiding devices at both ends of the deployment device, and a support device at the bottom of the deployment device. This device can only achieve stable deployment of traffic cones but cannot automatically retrieve them; its function is limited and it does not significantly save manpower or improve efficiency.

[0004] Chinese patent application number 2010101059926, entitled "Automatic Traffic Cone Deployment and Retraction Device," includes a suspension device and a deployment and retraction device. The suspension device controls the lifting and lowering movement of the deployment and retraction device, which deploys the traffic cones via a chute and a directional device, and retracts the traffic cones via a chain and a rolling lever driven by a motor. While this device can deploy and retract traffic cones, the entire process still requires manual operation; the traffic cones retrieved into the vehicle compartment must be manually placed. Therefore, this automatic traffic cone deployment and retraction device is essentially a semi-automatic device and cannot achieve fully automated operation without human intervention.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the designer of this utility model designed a traffic cone collection and dispensing vehicle. One of the urgent technical problems that this vehicle needs to solve is to provide a traffic cone collection device with good performance. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The correction device of this utility model is as follows: two connecting plates are provided on the cross frame, and inverted conical rods are provided on the two connecting plates. A connecting frame is provided on the front and rear sides of the lower surface of the cross frame, and a limit frame is provided on each connecting frame. A correction wheel assembly is provided on the front connecting frame.

[0011] The limiting frame of this utility model is composed of limiting wheels set on the limiting tube.

[0012] The limiting tube of this utility model is composed of an arc-shaped tube with a radius R of 300-400mm and a central angle of 90°, which is integrated with a horizontal tube. The vertical cross-section of the limiting tube is rectangular. Five to 15 limiting wheels are provided on the outer surface of the arc-shaped tube of the limiting tube, and four to 10 limiting wheels are provided on the lower surface of the horizontal tube of the limiting tube.

[0013] The geometric shape of the limiting tube of this utility model is an arc-shaped tube with a radius R of 330mm and a central angle of 90° integrated with a horizontal tube. Nine limiting wheels are preferably provided on the outer surface of the arc-shaped tube of the limiting tube, and six limiting wheels are preferably provided on the lower surface of the horizontal tube of the limiting tube.

[0014] The calibration wheel assembly of this utility model is as follows: a conical wheel frame is provided behind the calibration frame, a pressure spring is provided on the connecting rod between the calibration frame and the conical wheel frame, and 2 to 8 conical wheels are provided on the left side of the upper surface of the left side of the conical wheel frame, and 5 to 20 conical wheels are provided on the lower end face.

[0015] The left side of the upper surface of the conical wheel frame of this utility model is preferably provided with 6 conical wheels, and the lower end surface is preferably provided with 14 conical wheels. The conical wheel frame is provided with a conical wheel frame connecting plate.

[0018] Because this invention employs a correction wheel assembly, when correcting the posture of a traffic cone, the upright traffic cone is moved to the middle of the two limit frames by the limit frame. The traffic cone retrieval vehicle continues to reverse, and the conical wheel pushes the traffic cone base. The conical wheel acts as a guide, aligning any straight edge of the traffic cone base with the vehicle's reversing direction. As the traffic cone retrieval vehicle continues to reverse, the cone rod collides with the cone surface of the traffic cone, and the conical wheel at the upper end of the cone wheel frame further adheres to the traffic cone base, causing the traffic cone to tip over onto the ground. The traffic cone base is now facing the traffic cone retrieval vehicle, and the straight edge of the traffic cone base in contact with the ground is perpendicular to the vehicle's reversing direction—this is the desired posture. This invention features a simple structure, good performance, and the ability to correct and upright traffic cones that have fallen onto the road surface. It can be used in traffic cone retrieval devices. Attached Figure Description

[0053] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0054] Figure 12 A schematic diagram illustrating the principle of this invention for lifting traffic cones that have fallen onto the road surface is provided. Figure 12In this invention, when retrieving traffic cones, the device is suspended at the rear of the traffic cone retrieval vehicle. The electric actuator 2 is manually extended, opening the two telescopic arms 3. Simultaneously, the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 3-2 extends, increasing the length of the telescopic arms 3 and expanding the retrieval range of the traffic cones. When retrieving tilted or trapped traffic cones, the extension and retraction of the electric actuator 2 causes the telescopic arms 3 to swing back and forth, moving the traffic cone. The extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 3-2 changes the length of the telescopic arms 3, pushing and moving the traffic cone to a suitable position and angle. The extension and retraction of the electric actuator 2 brings the front telescopic arm 3 closer to the traffic cone, and the telescopic cylinder... Cylinder 4-1 raises the upright pole 4-3 vertically, and then the extension cylinder 4-2 swings the handrail 4-4 backward to a horizontal position. At this time, the handrail 4-4 is lower than the highest point of the base of the traffic cone in the tilted state, and the handrail 7 is located on the cone side of the traffic cone base. The extension cylinder 3-2 pushes the bottom support of the traffic cone, lifting the traffic cone. The traffic cone recycling vehicle carries this utility model and continues to move forward to the right, where the traffic cone can be stored in the correction device 1. After the correction device 1 corrects the posture of the traffic cone, it is laid down so that other devices can lift the traffic cone and return it to the traffic cone collection and storage vehicle.

[0055] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of this utility model for correcting irregular traffic cones on road surfaces. Figure 13 In the process of retrieving a traffic cone at a special angle, the traffic cone base will press against the cone wheel 1-5-6, and the cone surface will press against the rear limit frame 1-4. At this time, the vehicle continues to move to the right, the pressure spring 1-5-4 is compressed, the cone wheel frame 1-5-1 rotates forward, the entrance of the traffic cone base becomes larger, and the traffic cone can enter the two limit frames 1-4. The compression spring 1-5-4 returns to its original position, and then the traffic cone posture is corrected normally.

[0056] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of how the corrected traffic cone is laid down. Figure 14 During the process of correcting the traffic cone's posture, the upright traffic cone is moved by the limiting frame 4 to the horizontal axis of symmetry between the two limiting frames 4. The traffic cone retrieval vehicle continues to move to the right, and the conical wheel 5-6 pushes the traffic cone base. The conical wheel 5-6 acts as a guide, aligning any straight edge of the traffic cone base with the vehicle's reversing direction. Continuing to the right, the inverted cone rod 3 collides with the traffic cone's cone surface. At this point, the conical wheel 5-6 at the upper end of the conical wheel frame 5-1 further adheres to the traffic cone base, ultimately flipping the traffic cone over onto the ground. The traffic cone base faces the traffic cone retrieval vehicle, and the straight edge of the traffic cone base in contact with the ground is perpendicular to the vehicle's reversing direction, which is the final posture required for retrieval.
