Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic facility technology, specifically to a guide light box control device. Background Technology

[0002] Large transportation systems typically have numerous entrances and exits, resulting in varying passenger flow at different times.

To enhance flexibility, dynamic signage is often used, employing dynamically changing graphic symbols to provide directional and other information. However, dynamic signage suffers from drawbacks such as high cost and relatively unnatural display effects, and controlling passenger flow often requires a large number of on-site personnel for directing and managing the process.

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the embodiments of this utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a structure of the guide light box control device provided by this utility model;

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a specific structure of the guide light box control device provided by this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a guide light box control device provided by this utility model.

[0024] The guide light box system of this embodiment includes: a light box 10, a control module 20, a power supply 30, and a control power supply 40. Wherein:

[0025] The light box 10 includes a first load 101 and a second load 102;

[0026] Power supply 30 is used to power light box 10;

[0027] The control power supply 40 is used to supply power to the control module 20;

[0028] The control module 20 is used to receive remote control signals and control the connection or disconnection of the first load 101 and the second load 102 with the power supply 30.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first load 101 and the second load 102 can indicate different information. The information can be any combination of icons, patterns, and text; for example, the first load 101 might indicate passenger flow guidance information, while the second load 102 might display surrounding location information or advertising information. When passenger flow guidance is needed, the control device 20 connects the first load 101 to the power supply 30, allowing the lightbox 10 to guide passengers to quickly find their target location. When passenger flow guidance is not needed, the control device 20 connects the second load 102 to the power supply 30, allowing the lightbox 10 to display other service information, thus providing richer information content.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first load 101 is used to activate passenger flow guidance information for a specific branch line; the second load 102 is used to deactivate or adjust the passenger flow guidance information. For example, the lightbox 10 is placed at the entrance / exit of a passageway, and the guidance information is entrance / exit guidance information. Thus, when passenger flow guidance is needed, the control device 20 connects the first load 101 to the power supply 30, enabling the lightbox 10 to guide passengers to quickly find the entrance / exit of the corresponding passageway; when passenger flow guidance is not needed, the control device 20 connects the second load 102 to the power supply 30, deactivating the guidance information. This not only avoids interference with other entrances / exits but also saves energy.

[0031] It should be noted that at any given time, only one of the first load 101 and the second load 102 is connected to the power supply 30. That is, when the first load 101 is connected to the power supply 30, the second load 102 is disconnected; conversely, when the second load 102 is connected to the power supply 30, the first load 101 is disconnected. When neither the first load 101 nor the second load 102 needs to provide indication information, the power supply 30 can be switched off.

[0032] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a specific structural schematic of the guide light box control device provided by this utility model.

[0033] In this embodiment, the control module 20 includes an antenna 201 and a remote control relay.

[0034] The two ends of the coil 202 of the remote control relay are respectively connected to the two ends of the control power supply 40. The first contact 211 of the remote control relay is connected to the first load 101 in the light box 10, and the second contact 212 of the remote control relay is connected to the second load 102 in the light box 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, the remote control relay is used to receive remote control signals through the antenna 201 to energize or de-energize the coil 202, thereby connecting or disconnecting the first load 101 and the second load 102 from the power supply 30.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first contact 211 can be a normally closed contact and the second contact 212 can be a normally open contact; or vice versa. The first contact 211 can be a normally open contact and the second contact 212 can be a normally closed contact.

[0037] In some embodiments, the remote control signal may be, but is not limited to, any of the following: infrared signal, WIFI signal, wireless signal, etc., which may be selected according to actual application requirements.

[0038] The guide lightbox control device provided by this utility model sets different loads on static lightboxes to indicate different information. Through remote switching control of different loads, the switching of different functions of the lightbox can be easily and conveniently achieved. Compared with existing dynamic guide signs, this guide lightbox system is simple to operate and control, and has a better display effect. Moreover, using this solution, existing lightboxes can be easily upgraded without replacing the entire lightbox panel.

[0039] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the foregoing method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the described order of actions, because according to the present invention, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily essential to the present invention.
