Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic cone technology, specifically to a light-emitting traffic cone with a solar panel. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of society and the construction of more and more roads, traffic cones are needed during routine road maintenance and expansion to remind passing vehicles to pay attention to road conditions and take precautions to prevent traffic accidents. However, traditional traffic cones cannot be folded, so they take up a lot of space and are inconvenient to store, carry and transport.

[0003] To address the problems associated with traditional traffic cones, patent announcement number CN202730679U discloses a portable luminous traffic cone, specifically comprising a cone body, a light source, and a base. The cone body is mounted on the base. The cone body includes a cone apex, several rings, and a support cloth. The rings are connected between the cone apex and the base via the support cloth, and the diameter of the rings gradually increases from top to bottom, allowing each ring to be fitted over the next. When carried, the rings are sequentially fitted from top to bottom and placed horizontally on the base. In use, the rings extend upwards sequentially from bottom to top through the support cloth to form the cone body.

[0004] However, the aforementioned portable illuminated traffic cone still has room for improvement. For example, although the portable illuminated traffic cone is equipped with a battery, the battery life is limited, and an external power source is needed after each use. In other words, the traffic cone is quite dependent on an external power supply, which causes some inconvenience in use. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a traffic cone with a solar panel to facilitate replenishing the battery during daily use. This would reduce dependence on external power to some extent and improve the convenience of using the traffic cone.

[0005] To address the issue of the lack of solar panels in the aforementioned portable illuminated traffic cones, application publication number CN111945606A discloses a solar-powered traffic cone. Specifically, it discloses a traffic cone body, a solar panel, and LED lights. The surface of the traffic cone body is provided with several solar panels and several LED lights. The traffic cone body includes a top cover groove, a solar panel groove, and an LED light groove. The top cover groove is located at the top of the traffic cone body, the solar panel groove is located on the surface of the traffic cone body, and the LED light groove is located on the surface of the traffic cone body. The solar-powered traffic cone includes a top cover unit located at the top of the solar-powered traffic cone. The top cover unit includes a battery and a clip. The cone includes a hanging ring, a buckle on the inner side of the bottom of the top cover unit, a hanging ring on the top of the top cover unit, and several slots on the surface of the battery that connect to the buckle on the inner side of the bottom of the top cover unit. The top cover slot of the cone body connects to the bottom of the top cover unit. A solar panel is installed in the solar groove on the surface of the cone body. An LED light is installed in the LED light groove on the surface of the cone body. A waterproof gasket is provided between the LED light groove and the LED light on the cone body to prevent rainwater from entering the inside of the cone body. Several reflective stickers are provided on the surface of the cone body to enhance its visibility outdoors.

[0006] However, since the aforementioned solar-powered traffic cones cannot be folded, they cannot solve the problems of easy storage, carrying, and transportation. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a luminous traffic cone with a solar panel. This cone is foldable and equipped with a solar panel, making it easy to store, carry, and transport. It can also use the solar panel to add power to the battery during daily use, thereby reducing dependence on external power and enhancing the convenience of using the traffic cone.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A luminous traffic cone with a solar panel includes a cone, a base, and a cooperating light source, solar panel, and battery. The cone and battery are respectively mounted on the base. The cone includes a apex, several rings, and a first support cloth. The rings are connected between the apex and the base via the first support cloth, and the diameter of the rings gradually increases from top to bottom, allowing each ring to fit inside the next. The light source is located on the outer surface of the first support cloth. The solar panel is connected to the top surface of the base via a second support cloth and is located outside the first support cloth, allowing the second support cloth to form an inward and outward flipping structure on the base, thus facilitating the unfolding of the solar panel or its storage and stacking on the base. When storing, the rings and the first support cloth are pressed down to fold the cone, and the second support cloth is flipped inward to store and stack the solar panel. When in use, the second support cloth is opened outward to unfold the solar panel, and the rings and the first support cloth are unfolded upward to open the cone.

[0010] Additional structures for the above technical solutions also include the following:

[0011] Furthermore, the second support fabric is arranged around the cone, and a solar panel is arranged around each of the two sides of the second support fabric. Each solar panel can be stacked on the base in sequence by flipping the second support fabric. This arrangement facilitates the installation of multiple solar panels.

[0012] Furthermore, when the solar panel is unfolded, the outer edges of the second support cloth extend outward to the outer edges of the base, thereby increasing the installation area of ​​the solar panel; when the solar panel is folded up, the outer edges of the second support cloth are located on the top surface of the base, thereby reducing the space occupied by the solar panel and the second support cloth.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner perimeter of the second support fabric is attached to the top surface of the base by rivets, Velcro, or buckles, so that the second support fabric can be stably installed.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a light sensor; the light sensor is installed on the outer surface of the first support cloth, and the light sensor can control the opening and closing of the light source by sensing the brightness of the surrounding environment.

[0015] Furthermore, the base is also provided with a main control module electrically connected to the light source and the light sensor, a charge / discharge control module electrically connected to the main control module, and a charging port electrically connected to the charge / discharge control module; the solar panel and the battery are respectively electrically connected to the charge / discharge control module; the main control module serves as the control center.

[0016] Furthermore, a push-button switch electrically connected to the main control module is provided on the side wall of the base, which can be used to control the light emission mode of the lamp.

[0017] Furthermore, a transparent film is installed on the surface of the solar panel, and the transparent film is fixedly connected to the second support cloth around its perimeter, thereby enabling the solar panel to be protected by the transparent film.

[0018] Furthermore, the light source is a light strip, and the light strip is fixedly arranged around the perimeter of the first support cloth.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes reflective fabric strips; the reflective fabric strips are fixedly installed around the perimeter of the first support fabric. This arrangement enhances the warning effect by utilizing the reflective fabric strips.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] (1) This utility model sets the cone to be retractable, that is, the cone can be folded or opened, thereby reducing the space occupied after folding, and making it easier to store, carry and transport.

[0022] (2) By setting up a solar panel, the present invention can absorb solar energy when the traffic cone is in use. The solar energy can be converted into electrical energy and stored in a battery. The battery can transmit the electrical energy to the light bulb and other places. Therefore, the setting of the solar panel can reduce the traffic cone's dependence on external power to a certain extent, thereby enhancing the convenience of using the traffic cone.

[0023] (3) In this utility model, the solar panel is set on the base through the second support cloth and is a flip-up structure, so that the solar panel can be unfolded or stored and stacked, which is very convenient to use.

[0031] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following description is merely exemplary and does not limit the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a luminous traffic cone with a solar panel includes a cone 1, a base 3, and a cooperating light 2, a solar panel 4, and a battery 10. The cone 1 and the battery 10 are respectively mounted on the base 3. The cone 1 includes a cone apex 101, several collars 102, and a first support cloth 103. The several collars 102 are connected between the cone apex 101 and the base 3 through the first support cloth 103, and the diameter of the several collars 102 gradually increases from top to bottom, so that the previous collar 102 can be fitted inside the next collar 102. The light 2 is disposed on the outer surface of the first support cloth 103. The solar panel 4 is connected to the top surface of the base 3 via the second support cloth 5 and is located outside the first support cloth 103, so that the second support cloth 5 can form an inward and outward flipping structure (i.e., a bending structure) on the base 3, thereby making it easy to unfold the solar panel 4 or store and stack the solar panel 4 on the base 3; when storing, press down on each collar 102 and the first support cloth 103 to fold the cone 1 and flip the second support cloth 5 inward to store and stack the solar panel 4; when using, open the second support cloth 5 outward to unfold the solar panel 4 and unfold each collar 102 and the first support cloth 103 upward to open the cone 1.

[0033] Therefore, this utility model, by designing the cone 1 as retractable, reduces its space occupation when folded, thus facilitating storage, carrying, and transportation. Furthermore, by incorporating a solar panel 4, the traffic cone can absorb solar energy during use. This solar energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery 10, which then transmits the electrical energy to the light source 2, etc. Thus, the solar panel 4 reduces the traffic cone's dependence on external power, enhancing its ease of use. Simultaneously, since the solar panel 4 is mounted on the base 3 via a second support cloth 5 and has a flip-out structure, it can be unfolded or folded, making it very convenient to use. When unfolded, the solar panel 4 absorbs solar energy; when folded, it reduces the overall space occupied by the traffic cone and also provides some protection for the solar panel 4.

[0034] Regarding the function of the light-emitting lamp 2, when the light-emitting lamp 2 is turned on, it can produce light to provide illumination and increase the visibility of the traffic cone when in use. For example, when in use, the light produced by the light-emitting lamp 2 can effectively remind driving vehicles to pay attention to road conditions to prevent accidents from happening.

[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, preferably, the second support cloth 5 is arranged around the cone 1, and a solar panel 4 is arranged around the second support cloth 5. Each solar panel 4 can be stacked on the base 3 in sequence by flipping the second support cloth 5. In this embodiment, four solar panels 4 are evenly distributed.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, when the solar panel 4 is unfolded, the outer edges of the second support cloth 5 extend outwards to the outer edges of the base 3, thus allowing the second support cloth 5 to be used to install a larger area of ​​solar panel 4, thereby increasing the absorption of solar energy; as Figure 4 As shown, when the solar panel 4 is stored and stacked, the outer sides of the second support cloth 5 are located on the top surface of the base 3, so that the solar panel 4 and the second support cloth 5 do not occupy too much space, so as to facilitate the storage, carrying and transportation of the traffic cone.

[0037] like Figures 3-4 As shown, preferably, the cone 1 is disposed in a mounting hole (not shown in the figure) in the middle of the base 1, and when the cone 1 is folded, it can be embedded in the mounting hole, thereby reducing the space occupied by the cone 1 after folding.

[0038] like Figures 1-2As shown, preferably, the inner periphery of the second support fabric 5 is mounted to the top surface of the base 3 by rivets 6, Velcro, or clips. In this embodiment, the inner periphery of the second support fabric 5 is mounted to the top surface of the base 3 by rivets 6.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model also includes a light sensor 7; the light sensor 7 is installed on the outer surface of the first support cloth 103, and the light sensor 7 can control the opening and closing of the light lamp 2 by sensing the brightness of the surrounding environment, which can avoid wasting too much power. For example, when it is dark, the light sensor 7 senses the light and the light lamp 2 turns on; when it is light, the light sensor 7 senses the light and the light lamp 2 turns off.

[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, specifically, the base 3 is also equipped with a main control module 8, which is electrically connected to the light source 2 and the light sensor 7, a charge / discharge control module 9, which is electrically connected to the main control module 8, and a charging port 11, which is electrically connected to the charge / discharge control module 9. The solar panel 4 and the battery 10 are electrically connected to the charge / discharge control module 9. The main control module 8, as the control center, can be used to control the use of various components. For example, the light sensor 7 can transmit the data of the ambient brightness it senses to the main control module 8, and the main control module 8 can then control the light source 2 to start or stop accordingly. The charge / discharge control module 9 can be used to control the charging of the battery 10 after the solar panel 4 and the charging port 11 are connected to an external power source, and to control the battery 10 to supply power to other components, etc.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, preferably, a push-button switch 12 electrically connected to the main control module 8 is also provided on the side wall of the base 3, so that it can be used to control the lighting mode of the light lamp 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, to protect the solar panel 4, a transparent film (not shown) is installed on the surface of the solar panel 4, and the transparent film is fixedly connected to the second support fabric 5 around its perimeter. Specifically, the transparent film is sewn together with the second support fabric 5 to ensure the stability of the transparent film. Therefore, the transparent film can be used to protect the solar panel 4 from some corrosion.

[0043] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the light-emitting lamp 2 is a light strip, and the light strip is fixedly arranged around the first support cloth 103. Specifically, there are four light strips, and the four light strips are distributed sequentially from top to bottom. More specifically, there are also four corresponding collars 102, and the four light strips are located on the corresponding outer sides of the four collars 102, that is, the positions of the light strips and the collars 102 are corresponding.

[0044] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model also includes reflective fabric strips 13; the reflective fabric strips 13 are fixedly arranged around the first support fabric 103. In this embodiment, four reflective fabric strips 13 are provided, and the four reflective fabric strips 13 are evenly arranged from top to bottom. Furthermore, the four reflective fabric strips 13 correspond to the positions of the four loops 102, and four light strips are correspondingly arranged on the surfaces of the four reflective fabric strips 13. After the reflective fabric strips 13 are provided, when in use, when the headlights of a car shine on the reflective fabric strips 13, the reflective fabric strips 13 can reflect the light, thereby serving as a safety warning.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first support fabric 103 includes an outer layer of Oxford cloth and an inner layer of mesh fabric; each loop 102 is located between the Oxford cloth and the mesh fabric. The second support fabric 5 is made of at least two layers of Oxford cloth sewn together, which facilitates bending operations on the second support fabric 5.

[0046] The following describes the specific working principle of this utility model in order to help you understand it:

[0047] When using the cone, users can first unfold each solar panel 4 outwards to allow it to fully contact sunlight, which is beneficial for charging the battery 10. Next, by holding the cone top 101, the various loops 102 and the first support cloth 103 can be unfolded upwards to open the cone 1 to the desired height. The light 2 and reflective strips 13 then serve as a guide. Once the cone is fully unfolded, it is ready to use. Figure 1 The structure shown is as follows. When storage is required, people can first grasp the cone top 101 and press it down until the various collars 102 and the first support cloth 103 form a folded structure, which is the folded cone 1. Then, each solar panel 4 is flipped towards the center of the base 3 to form a stacked storage effect, reducing the space occupied by the traffic cone, thus making the traffic cone easy to store, carry and transport; when the traffic cone is folded, it is... Figure 4 In the structure shown, the second support fabric 5 is divided into four parts around its perimeter, and each part overlaps with the adjacent part.

[0048] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. If any modifications or variations to this utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and equivalent technologies of this utility model, then this utility model also intends to include such modifications and variations.
