[0032] In existing technologies, traffic guidance robots at intersections can only provide text and voice guidance to pedestrians or vehicles passing by. While they can provide guidance to pedestrians and vehicles, they cannot target specific accident areas for warning and guidance when accidents or other emergencies occur on the road. This makes it impossible to meet the urgent needs of special situations on the road. In the event of an accident, pedestrians or vehicles passing by are likely to enter the accident area, causing damage to the accident scene or even secondary accidents. The guidance robot is unable to provide effective guidance in the accident area.

[0033] This utility model provides a traffic guidance robot, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the traffic guidance robot includes a base 1, a mounting platform 3, a display screen 4, a speaker, and a delivery mechanism 6. The base 1 is equipped with a walking mechanism 2 that drives the base 1 to move. The walking mechanism 2 includes at least wheels and a starting unit that controls the rotation of the wheels, used to drive the guidance robot to move. The mounting platform 3 is located at the upper end of the base 1, and is equipped with a display screen 4 for displaying guidance text and a speaker for broadcasting guidance voice, used for text and voice guidance. The delivery mechanism 6 can deploy and retract warning tape 63 on the road. A delivery slot is provided at the bottom of the base 1, and the delivery mechanism 6 is located inside the delivery slot. An opening / closing unit 5 for opening and closing the slot opening is also provided inside the delivery slot. During operation, the guidance robot moves to the accident area, the starting unit opens the delivery slot, and the delivery mechanism 6 deploys warning tape 63 in the accident warning area for warning work.

[0034] In order to obtain traffic information on the road and promptly identify accident areas, multiple road condition information collection devices are installed on various roads to collect road condition information. These road condition information collection devices are equipped with independent power supply modules or are connected to the road power supply system. They convert the collected road condition information into digital signals through information conversion modules and control terminals through wireless modules. The control terminals then convert and organize the information to form traffic information and send it to the warning robots. This allows the warning robots to move to the accident area to provide warnings and guidance when an accident occurs.

[0035] In this embodiment, the working states of the persuasion robot are divided into four categories: power-off state, stationary state, mobile persuasion state, and mobile warning state. A detailed description of each state of the persuasion robot is provided below:

[0036] When powered off: The persuasion robot stops working. This is generally used to charge the persuasion robot. The persuasion robot is usually set to powered off at night.

[0037] When stationary, the persuasion robot is in standby mode, and the walking mechanism 2 is not activated. The persuasion robot is placed at the intersection and conducts persuasion work in the form of text and voice. At the same time, a warning light 33 is set on the mounting platform 3. When persuading, the warning light 33 flashes to attract attention. The reminder text and voice can be set to "Please slow down", "Please give way to pedestrians", "Please pay attention to your surroundings", "Walk carefully, safety first", etc.

[0038] When in mobile guidance mode, the guidance robot walks onto the crosswalk and moves back and forth along the crosswalk path to guide pedestrians and vehicles. This guidance work is specifically divided into guiding vehicles and guiding pedestrians. In order to guide pedestrians and vehicles simultaneously, the display screen 4 is set as a double-sided display screen 4, with the guidance robot positioned between pedestrians and vehicles. The warning light 33 flashes to remind vehicles and pedestrians. The guidance for vehicles is in the form of text, and the side facing the vehicle can display warnings such as "Slow down" and "Caution: Pedestrians". When guiding pedestrians crossing the crosswalk, a dual guidance method of voice and text is used, with reminders such as "Beware of vehicles" and "Walk carefully, safety first". The guidance robot and pedestrians use the same path. When the pedestrian traffic light is red, the guidance robot stops and waits, and issues a prompt "Wait for red light".

[0039] When in warning mode, the robot guides the robot to the accident area and places warning tape 63 in the accident area to carry out warning work. It stands in the accident area to carry out warning and persuasion work. The reminder text and voice can be set to "Accident ahead, please stay away" or "Please detour" etc.

[0040] This utility model can meet the daily persuasion work on the road, and can move to the accident area to carry out warning and persuasion work when a traffic accident or other emergency occurs on the road section. At the same time, it can put out warning tape 63 to warn the accident area and prevent pedestrians and vehicles from accidentally entering and causing secondary accidents. This utility model can meet the traffic needs in different situations and can provide corresponding assistance in various situations to reduce traffic congestion and traffic violations.

[0041] In order to facilitate the deployment of warning tape 63 and to enable its retrieval after an accident; such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dispensing mechanism 6 is configured with a drive motor, a winding roller 62, a warning tape 63, and an electromagnetic adsorption device 64. The winding roller 62 is rotatably installed inside the dispensing trough via a rotating shaft. The drive motor is installed inside the dispensing trough and connected to the winding roller 62. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the winding roller 62. To ensure the stability of the rotation of the winding roller 62, a gear set can be set for transmission in this embodiment. The winding roller 62 is provided with an iron adsorption part. The electromagnetic adsorption device 64 is set inside the winding roller 62 to control the magnetic on / off state of the iron adsorption part. The warning tape 63 is wound around the winding roller 62 and is provided with an adsorbing iron sheet 65. When the electromagnetic adsorption device 64 is energized, the iron adsorption part of the winding roller 62 can adsorb the adsorbing iron sheet 65. The surface of the warning tape 63 is provided with a bright layer to provide a better warning effect.

[0042] To ensure the stability and convenience of adsorption, two adsorption iron sheets 65 are provided, and the two adsorption iron sheets 65 are respectively located at both ends of the warning tape 63, so that they can be recovered from any section of the warning tape 63 during recycling.

[0043] To ensure more stable deployment and retrieval of the warning tape 63, a lifting unit is installed inside the deployment slot to control the raising and lowering of the deployment mechanism 6. The lifting unit includes a first cylinder 66 and a lifting frame 67 connected to the first cylinder 66. The first cylinder 66 is installed on the inner wall of the deployment slot and drives the lifting frame 67 to move. The deployment mechanism 6 is installed on the lifting frame 67. When deploying and retrieving the warning tape 63, the first cylinder 66 drives the lifting frame 67 to descend, and the deployment mechanism 6 will descend together to perform the deployment and retrieval work.

[0044] To improve the stability of the lifting frame 67's lifting movement, a slide rail 61 is provided on the inner wall of the delivery slot. One side of the lifting frame 67 is slidably connected to the slide rail 61 to prevent the lifting frame 67 from deviating when it moves. When the lifting frame 67 moves, it will drive the lifting frame 67 out of the slot of the delivery slot, further improving the stability of the delivery and retrieval of the warning tape 63.

[0045] To facilitate the opening and closing of the dispensing slot, the opening and closing unit 5 is configured as a second cylinder 51 and a door 52 connected to the second cylinder 51. The second cylinder 51 is installed inside the dispensing slot, and the second cylinder 51 controls the door 52 to move to open and close the dispensing slot. When no dispensing or recycling work is being carried out, closing the slot can prevent external impurities from entering the dispensing slot.

[0046] In this embodiment, the specific process for placing and storing the warning tape 63 is as follows: When the guidance robot moves to the accident area and needs to place the warning tape 63, the first cylinder 66 drives the door 52 to move and open the slot of the placement slot. The electromagnetic adsorption device 64 is de-energized, the winding roller 62 has no magnetic adsorption force, the drive motor is started to drive the winding roller 62 to rotate, and at the same time the guidance robot starts to move. Since the winding roller 62 has no magnetic adsorption force, the warning tape 63 is detached from the winding roller 62 and falls onto the road as the winding roller 62 rotates. After the accident is handled, when the warning tape 63 needs to be stored again, the electromagnetic adsorption device 64 is energized, controlling the winding roller 62 to have an adsorption magnetic force, adsorbing the adsorption iron piece 65 at one end of the warning tape 63, and then the drive motor drives the winding roller 62 to flip and store it. After the warning tape 63 is retrieved, the slot of the placement slot is closed.

[0047] To reduce road congestion time and facilitate timely accident resolution and rescue of the injured, an emergency chamber 31 is provided on the mounting platform 3. The emergency chamber 31 is used to house one or more of the following: medical equipment, fire-fighting equipment, vehicle repair tools, and rescue tools. In this embodiment, multiple independent chambers are set within the emergency chamber 31 to house these specific medical equipment, fire-fighting equipment, vehicle repair tools, and rescue tools. The medical equipment provides temporary assistance to the injured at the accident scene, addressing their needs or providing emergency aid while waiting for an ambulance. This equipment may include tourniquets, iodine solution, gauze, etc. The fire-fighting equipment is mainly used in situations involving fire accidents or the need to dismantle vehicles. This equipment may include fire extinguishers, fire axes, cutting tools, etc. Vehicle repair and rescue tools may include wrenches, jacks, hammers, etc.

[0048] In order to observe the accident scene and record accident information in real time, a camera component 32 is installed on the side of the mounting platform 3 to record the working process of the persuasion robot.

[0049] In another embodiment, the persuasion robot also includes a communication module, a power storage module, and a solar energy module. The communication module is used for remote communication for traffic control and remote rescue. The power storage module is used to power all electrical components within the persuasion robot, and the power supply module is also connected to an output terminal, including at least a socket and a USB interface, for powering external connected devices and meeting temporary power supply needs. The solar energy module is located outside the persuasion robot to convert solar energy into electrical energy to charge the power storage module, enabling the robot to not only charge via connection but also convert solar energy into electrical energy to meet its self-powering needs.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
