[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —5 provides further detailed information about this application.

[0023] This application discloses a traffic signal device with a protective structure. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A traffic signal device with a protective structure includes a column 1 and a crossbar 2. The crossbar 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 1. A camera 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the crossbar 2. A second camera 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the crossbar 2. A shielding component 5 is provided on the right side surface of the crossbar 2. A protective component 6 is provided on the surface of the crossbar 2.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 The shielding assembly 5 includes two connecting sleeves 51 fitted onto the right side surface of the crossbar 2. A vertical rod 52 is fixedly connected to the top of each connecting sleeve 51, and a shielding plate 53 is fixedly connected to the top of each vertical rod 52. The two connecting sleeves 51 are located on the left and right sides of camera 3 and camera 4, respectively. The shielding plate 53 is located above camera 4, shielding it from direct sunlight and preventing it from overheating, thus protecting camera 4. Reinforcing ribs 54 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the vertical rod 52. Air ducts 55 are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the shielding plate 53. The bottom end of the reinforcing rib 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting sleeve 51, supporting the vertical rod 52 and making it more stably connected to the top of the connecting sleeve 51. A screw is threaded into the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 51, allowing the screw to rotate and abut against the bottom end of the crossbar 2. The interaction force between the crossbar 2 and the screw fixes the position of the connecting sleeve 51.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 5 The protective component 6 includes two slots 61 at the front and rear ends of the crossbar 2. A cover plate 62 is inserted into the slot 61. Each cover plate 62 has a slot 63 at both its left and right ends. A concave plate 64 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting sleeve 51 near the cover plate 62. A rotating plate 65 is rotatably connected to the side of the concave plate 64 away from the connecting sleeve 51. The end of the cover plate 62 away from the crossbar 2 extends downwards at an angle. The cover plate 62 protects the camera 3. The rotating plate 65 is fitted into the slot 63. The cover plate 62 is limited inside the slot 63. The rotating plate 65 has an inner groove 66 on the side near the concave plate 64. A telescopic rod 67 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the concave plate 64 near the rotating plate 65. A pressure spring 68 is fixedly connected to the surface of the telescopic rod 67. The telescopic rod 67 is fitted and engaged inside the inner groove 66. The end of the pressure spring 68 away from the telescopic rod 67 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the concave plate 64. The telescopic rod 67 is inserted into the inner groove 66, thereby limiting the position of the rotating plate 65.

[0026] Working principle: After the operator installs the shield 53, the shield 53 can protect the camera 2 4, preventing rain and snow from directly penetrating into the camera 2 4 and preventing sunlight from directly hitting the camera 2 4. The crosswind is blocked by the air duct 55 opened on the surface of the shield 53, preventing the shield 53 from falling due to the large external force of the crosswind, thus avoiding safety hazards.

[0027] The cover plate 62 can then be inserted into the slot 61. At this time, the rotating plate 65 is rotated to engage with the slot 63. During the rotation of the rotating plate 65, the telescopic rod 67 remains in contact with the surface of the rotating plate 65 under the action of the pressure spring 68. When the rotating plate 65 is engaged with the slot 63, the telescopic rod 67 is also engaged with the inner groove 66. Therefore, the position of the rotating plate 65 is limited. At this time, the two rotating plates 65 can limit the position of the cover plate 62. The cover plate 62 can then block and protect the camera 3.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
