Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signpost technology, and specifically to a signpost that is easy to adjust. Background Technology

[0002] Traffic sign poles play a vital role in traffic systems. Their main function is to support and display traffic signs, including directional signs, warning signs, and prohibitory signs. These signs are crucial for drivers because they provide essential information to help them comply with traffic rules, thereby ensuring driving safety. The use of traffic sign poles not only improves road traffic efficiency but also significantly enhances traffic safety levels.

[0003] Signs are usually pre-assembled with sign poles and then installed as a whole. This method is especially effective when installing large sign poles because it saves time and labor. However, due to terrain, obstructed views, or other environmental factors, the position of the sign may need to be adjusted after installation to ensure that the sign is in the best viewing position so as to play its due role.

[0004] When fine-tuning an installed sign is required, operators usually need to loosen all the fasteners, make adjustments, and then tighten them again. This process is not only tedious and time-consuming, but also physically demanding for the operators. In addition, if the fasteners are not fully tightened during frequent adjustments, the sign may sway or even fall off under the influence of wind, which not only affects the function of the sign but may also pose a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an easily adjustable signpost to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the signpost is not easy to adjust after installation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An easily adjustable signpost includes a base, a main body, and an adjustment assembly. The base is adapted to mount a sign and is slidably engaged with the main body, allowing the base to slide along a first direction. The adjustment assembly has an input end and an output end. The output end is throttledly connected to the base and is adapted to drive the base to slide along the first direction. The output end is also lockable to the base. When the input end is in operation, the output end is unlocked from the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the output end has a guide shaft along a first direction, and multiple snap-fit ​​points are arranged on the guide shaft, suitable for the base to be slidably snapped into the snap-fit ​​points.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide shaft is constructed as a threaded rod, which is rotatably disposed and passes through the base, and the threaded rod is threadedly adapted to the base. In the state where the threaded rod is rotating, the base moves along a first direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the threaded rod is connected to the input end for transmission, and is adapted to drive the threaded rod to rotate. The threaded rod and the input end have a height difference, with the input end located on the lower side.

[0011] Furthermore, the output end has a limiting shaft, which is parallel to the axial direction of the guide shaft. The base is movably sleeved on the limiting shaft, which is suitable for the base to move along the first direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the main body has a mounting cavity, and the limiting shaft and the guide shaft are both arranged in the mounting cavity. The end of the base connected to the guide shaft and the limiting shaft forms a connecting end, and at least a portion of the connecting end extends into the mounting cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, along the first direction, a sliding groove is provided on the main body, the sliding groove is slidably engaged with the connecting end, and the two sides of the connecting end are slidably abutted against the side wall of the sliding groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the main body has a first part and a second part, and both the first part and the second part are provided with multiple assembly points, which are suitable for the first part to be assembled into the second part, thereby forming an installation cavity between the first part and the second part.

[0015] The advantages of the easily adjustable signpost described in this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0016] By adjusting the transmission connection between the component input end and the base, the base can be driven to slide in the first direction, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the sign position. Compared with the traditional method that requires each fastener to be individually fastened, this design greatly simplifies the adjustment process and significantly reduces labor intensity.

[0017] The locking mechanism between the output end and the base ensures the stability of the sign in the non-adjusted state. Even under wind conditions, the sign will not shake or fall off, thus improving the safety of the overall structure. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] Example, reference Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides an adjustable signpost. The main body 20 can be an upright column, with the sign mounted on its top or middle. This design is suitable for smaller signs and relatively simple applications. The main body 20 can also consist of several columns connected by crossbeams to support larger signs or multiple signs. This design is suitable for situations requiring the display of multiple signs. The main body 20 can also be designed to extend one or more cantilever arms from a main column, with the sign mounted at the end of the cantilever arm. This design allows the sign to be displayed from different angles and its position can be flexibly adjusted.

[0025] The main body 20 and the base 10 can be made of stainless steel, which is not only corrosion-resistant and durable, but also easy to maintain and suitable for long-term outdoor use. The base 10 is used to install the sign. The base 10 and the main body 20 adopt a sliding fit design, which allows the base 10 to slide along a first direction (such as vertical or horizontal). For example, when the main body 20 adopts a cantilever design, the first direction is the direction of cantilever extension. This means that the base 10 and the sign can be adjusted along the length of the cantilever to adapt to different viewing angles and height requirements.

[0026] The adjustment component includes an input end 301 and an output end 302. The input end 301 can be a manual knob, an electric motor, or other driving device. The operator can drive the position adjustment of the sign by rotating the manual knob or starting the electric motor. The output end 302 and the base 10 can be connected by transmission through gears, chains, or threads, so that the action of the input end 301 can be converted into the sliding of the base 10. When the input end 301 is working, the output end 302 will drive the base 10 to slide in the first direction.

[0027] A locking mechanism is designed between the output terminal 302 and the base 10. This mechanism locks the base 10 in place when the sign position does not need to be adjusted, preventing the sign from sliding due to external forces. When the sign needs to be adjusted, the operator can unlock it by operating the input terminal 301, allowing the base 10 to slide freely.

[0028] When the sign needs to be adjusted, the operator first needs to unlock the locking mechanism, which is usually done by rotating the manual knob or starting the electric motor. After unlocking, continue to rotate the manual knob or start the electric motor to make the output end 302 drive the base 10 to slide in the first direction until the sign reaches the desired display position. When the sign is adjusted to the appropriate position, stop operating the input end 301, and the locking mechanism will automatically reset to ensure that the sign remains stable in the non-adjustment state.

[0029] Through the above design, this utility model provides an efficient, convenient and safe sign pole adjustment solution, which is suitable for the installation and adjustment needs of various traffic signs.

[0030] In some embodiments, considering the stability of the sign during adjustment, the output end 302 has a guide shaft 3021. The main function of the guide shaft 3021 is to guide the base 10 to slide smoothly along a first direction (e.g., the extension direction of the cantilever). The guide shaft 3021 can be a smooth metal rod or a structure with grooves or tracks. Multiple locking points are arranged on the guide shaft 3021 along the first direction. These locking points can be protrusions or recesses on the guide shaft 3021, or specially designed small holes or buckles. The base 10 is designed with structures that match the locking points on the guide shaft 3021, such as spring pins, buckles, etc. When the base 10 slides along the guide shaft 3021, these structures can be embedded in the locking points on the guide shaft 3021, thereby fixing the base 10 in a specific position.

[0031] When the position of the sign needs to be adjusted, the operator can unlock the base 10 (for example, by pressing a button to release the spring pin), and then manually or by driving the base 10 to slide along the guide shaft 3021. During the sliding process, the locking structure on the base 10 will disengage from the original locking point and re-engage into a new locking point after the sliding is completed. When the base 10 slides to the desired position, the locking structure will automatically or through the operator's action (such as releasing the button) re-lock onto the new locking point, thereby fixing the base 10 in the new position and realizing the position adjustment of the sign.

[0032] The above design makes adjusting the signpost simpler and faster, while ensuring the stability and safety of the sign in any position.

[0033] In other embodiments, to further ensure the stability of the sign during adjustment, the guide shaft 3021 may be in the form of a threaded rod. This means that the guide shaft 3021 itself is a threaded metal rod. The diameter and length of the threaded rod should be determined according to the specific requirements of the sign post. The threaded rod is fixed to the main body 20 of the sign post by bearings or other support structures and can rotate freely.

[0034] The threaded rod passes through the base 10, and the base 10 has an internal threaded hole that matches the threaded rod. When the threaded rod rotates, the internal thread in the base 10 and the external thread of the threaded rod mesh with each other, so that the base 10 can move linearly along the direction of the threaded rod. The thread fit between the base 10 and the threaded rod ensures that the base 10 can slide smoothly along the first direction (such as the vertical or horizontal direction) when the threaded rod rotates.

[0035] When the threaded rod rotates, the threads inside the base 10 interact with the threads of the threaded rod, causing the base 10 to slide along the direction of the threaded rod. Due to the action of the threads, for every rotation of the threaded rod, the base 10 will move a distance of one thread pitch along the guide shaft 3021. When the threaded rod does not rotate, the base 10 and the threaded rod achieve self-locking through the interaction of the threads, that is, the base 10 will remain in the current position and will not slide due to external forces (such as wind).

[0036] With the above design, the adjustment process of the signpost becomes very simple and intuitive, while ensuring the stability of the sign during the adjustment process.

[0037] In some embodiments, for ease of adjustment by the operator, there is a certain height difference between the threaded rod and the input end 301. That is, the input end 301 is located on the lower side of the marker rod, while the threaded rod is located at a higher position. Specifically, the input end 301 can be a manual knob located at the bottom or lower position of the marker rod, so that the operator can easily rotate it while standing. In order to transmit the rotation of the input end 301 to the threaded rod, the two can be connected by a transmission component such as a gear, chain, or belt. In this way, when the operator rotates the manual knob or starts the electric motor, the power can be transmitted to the threaded rod through the transmission component, causing it to rotate.

[0038] With the above design, the operator only needs to stand next to the signpost and easily rotate the manual knob on the lower side or start the electric motor to complete the adjustment, without the need for additional tools or complicated operating steps, which greatly improves work efficiency and convenience.

[0039] In some other embodiments, the output end 302 has a limiting shaft, which is arranged parallel to the guide shaft 3021 and fixed on the main body 20 of the marker rod. The function of the limiting shaft is to provide lateral positioning during the sliding of the base 10, so as to prevent the base 10 from shifting or tilting laterally during the sliding.

[0040] The above design ensures the stability of the sign during the adjustment process.

[0041] In some embodiments, the main body 20 has an internal mounting cavity 40 for accommodating the guide shaft 3021 and the limiting shaft. The mounting cavity 40 can be a closed or semi-closed structure to protect the internal parts from external environmental influences. The guide shaft 3021 (such as a threaded rod) and the limiting shaft are both arranged within the mounting cavity 40. The guide shaft 3021 is responsible for driving the base 10 to slide along a first direction, while the limiting shaft ensures that the base 10 maintains linear motion during sliding and prevents the base 10 from lateral displacement.

[0042] One end of the base 10 forms a connecting end, which at least partially extends into the mounting cavity 40. The connecting end may be provided with a hole or groove that mates with the guide shaft 3021 (such as a threaded rod) and the limiting shaft. The guide shaft 3021 passes through the hole or groove on the connecting end of the base 10 and matches the threaded hole inside the base 10. When the guide shaft 3021 rotates, the base 10 can slide along the direction of the guide shaft 3021. The limiting shaft also passes through the hole or groove on the connecting end of the base 10, but the limiting shaft is fixed. It restricts the lateral movement of the base 10 and ensures that the base 10 can only slide linearly along the direction of the guide shaft 3021.

[0043] The above design improves the overall compactness and durability of the signpost, ensuring long-term stable operation in various environments.

[0044] In some embodiments, a groove 50 is provided on the main body 20 along a first direction (such as vertical or horizontal direction). The groove 50 is slidably engaged with the connecting end of the base 10 to ensure that the connecting end can move smoothly along the groove 50 when sliding.

[0045] In specific implementation, the slide groove 50 can be located on the outside of the main body 20 and arranged along the first direction. The width of the slide groove 50 matches the thickness of the connecting end of the base 10, so that the connecting end can slide in the slide groove 50. The end of the base 10 connected to the guide shaft 3021 and the limiting shaft forms the connecting end. The two sides of the connecting end are provided with protruding parts. These protruding parts can slide against the side wall of the slide groove 50. In this way, the connecting end can not only slide along the slide groove 50, but also contact the side wall of the slide groove 50 through the protruding parts on both sides, thereby reducing the shaking and deviation during the sliding process.

[0046] The above design makes the sign more stable during adjustment, reducing potential safety hazards caused by shaking.

[0047] In other embodiments, the main body 20 has a first part 201 and a second part 202. The first part 201 may be the upper part or one side of the sign post, and the second part 202 may be the lower part or the other side of the sign post. Both the first part 201 and the second part 202 are provided with multiple assembly points. These assembly points may be bolt holes, snaps, pin holes or other forms of connecting devices. These assembly points allow the first part 201 to be assembled onto the second part 202, thereby forming a complete mounting cavity 40 for accommodating internal structures such as the guide shaft 3021 and the limiting shaft.

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] When the position of the sign needs to be adjusted, the operator first unlocks the locking mechanism through input terminal 301. This step releases the self-locking mechanism between guide shaft 3021 and base 10, allowing base 10 to slide along guide shaft 3021.

[0050] After unlocking, the operator rotates the guide shaft 3021 (such as a threaded rod) through the input end 301. When the threaded rod rotates, the thread in the base 10 interacts with the thread of the guide shaft 3021, causing the base 10 to slide along the direction of the guide shaft 3021. The matching design of the slide groove 50 and the two sides of the connecting end ensures that the base 10 maintains linear motion during the sliding process and prevents lateral displacement. The operator can continue to rotate the input end 301 until the sign reaches the desired display position.

[0051] Once the sign is adjusted to the appropriate position, the operator stops operating the input terminal 301, and the guide shaft 3021 stops rotating. At this time, the thread interaction between the base 10 and the guide shaft 3021 achieves self-locking, and the base 10 automatically locks in the new position, ensuring that the sign remains stable in the non-adjusted state.

[0052] The various illustrative embodiments mentioned in this specification refer to specific structures described in connection with those embodiments that are included in at least one embodiment of the general description in this application. The appearance of the same expression in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, when a structure is described in connection with any embodiment, it is intended that implementing such a structure in conjunction with other embodiments falls within the scope of this utility model.
