TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of warning board, specifically relates to an automatic multi-traffic condition information indicating board. BACKGROUND
[0002] Road condition warning boards play a crucial role in road safety. They are important tools for reminding drivers of potential dangers and adjusting driving behavior, helping to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Warning boards are usually set up at key locations such as sharp bends, steep slopes, school areas, construction sections, etc. Through eye-catching colors and graphic symbols, they can quickly attract the attention of drivers even in the case of distraction. In addition, correct traffic signs can guide vehicles to drive correctly and avoid violations, improving road traffic efficiency. Especially in complex urban environments, properly set warning boards can effectively prevent accidents caused by drivers' unfamiliarity with the route. Therefore, ensuring the clear visibility and maintenance of road traffic warning boards plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring public traffic safety.
[0003] Traditional road condition warning boards generally use aluminum sheet lettering to display warning content. Such warning boards are installed at various road sections to display different warning information. Although this operation method is relatively simple, it is limited by display area and cost. The aluminum sheet lettering warning board has fixed content and cannot quickly adapt to rapid changes in road conditions such as construction changes and temporary traffic control, which limits its effectiveness in dynamic traffic management. If a road construction requires temporary lane changes, the aluminum sheet lettering warning board cannot update the information in time, which increases the risk of traffic accidents as drivers cannot obtain timely road condition information.
[0004] Currently, some road condition warning boards rely on electronic components such as light beads to display warning information. Although this electronic display method can provide some visibility at night or in low light environments, it has obvious defects. Once there is a power failure or electronic component failure, the warning board will not be able to display warning information normally, which may cause serious safety problems in emergency situations. Especially in remote areas or areas with unstable power supply, the electronic display warning board will lose its function after power failure, unable to provide necessary warnings to drivers and increasing the risk of driving safety.
[0005] In summary, there is a need for a road condition warning board that has good display area, information variability, and reliability in the event of a power failure. SUMMARY
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides an automatic multi-traffic condition information indicating board, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An automatic multi-road information sign includes a crossbeam tube, multiple display components, side support components, a base, and a drive component. Two sets of side support components are mirror-image arranged along the geometric center of the crossbeam tube, with each set of side support components connected to a base at its bottom. Multiple sets of display components are vertically arranged between the top of the base and the bottom of the crossbeam tube. A drive component is installed inside the crossbeam tube, and the drive component rotatably connects to each set of display components, causing them to rotate synchronously to form a louvered opening and closing structure.
[0009] This utility model provides an automatic multi-road information sign. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0010] 1. This utility model maximizes the stability of the warning sign structure and the display area by adopting a vertical automatic road condition warning sign design and a louvered flip structure. It not only improves the visibility of the warning sign in various environments, but also makes the switching of warning content more flexible and efficient through the synchronous flipping of multiple sets of vertical display components. It solves the shortcomings of traditional warning signs in terms of structural stability and display effect. Especially in severe weather conditions, it can ensure the clear transmission of warning information and effectively prevent traffic accidents.
[0011] 2. By proposing a drive component that uses a motor-driven synchronous gear plate, the display component can achieve precise control and synchronous rotation, providing the device with ease of operation and rapid response. At the same time, compared with traditional manual or single electronic component display warning signs, this utility model can continue to work by battery pack in the event of a power outage, ensuring continuous display of warning information, solving the problem of warning signs not working properly when power is off or electronic components fail, and improving the reliability and practicality of warning signs.
[0012] 3. In terms of structural design, this utility model also considers the adaptability to harsh environments. For example, the triangular structure of the base and the hollow counterweight design inside make the warning sign stable even in severe weather conditions such as strong winds or heavy rain. At the same time, the material selection and reflective components of the warning sign further improve its durability and nighttime visibility, greatly enhancing the overall performance of the road condition warning sign.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] To address the technical problems in the background section, the following automatic multi-road information sign is proposed:
[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic multi-road condition information sign, including a crossbeam tube 1, which is a tube structure with both ends through. A warning light 2 is provided on the top surface of the crossbeam tube 1. A baffle plate 11 is fixed to the rear wall of the crossbeam tube 1. A side support assembly 4 is connected to the side wall of the crossbeam tube 1. Two sets of side support assemblies 4 are arranged in a mirror image about the vertical center line of the crossbeam tube 1. A base 5 is connected between the bottom of the two sets of side support assemblies 4. Multiple sets of display components 3 are vertically arranged between the top surface of the base 5 and the bottom surface of the crossbeam tube 1. The multiple sets of display components 3 cooperate to form a louver opening and closing structure. The top of the display component 3 is rotatably connected to the inside of the crossbeam tube 1. A drive assembly 6 is provided inside the crossbeam tube 1. The drive assembly 6 is used to drive the multiple sets of display components 3 to rotate synchronously. A battery block 7 is provided inside the crossbeam tube 1. The battery block 7 and the warning light 2 are internally electrically connected.
[0026] As an embodiment of this utility model, the proposed drive assembly 6 includes a motor 61, a second gear 62, a third rotating shaft 63, and a synchronous gear plate 65. The motor 61 is disposed inside the crossbeam tube 1. The rotating end of the motor 61 is connected to the second gear 62. One side of the second gear 62 is connected to the third rotating shaft 63. The third rotating shaft 63 is rotatably connected to the inside of the crossbeam tube 1. The synchronous gear plate 65 is slidably connected to the bottom surface inside the crossbeam tube 1. A first tooth groove 651 is opened on the top surface of the synchronous gear plate 65. The bottom of the second gear 62 is meshed and connected to the inside of the first tooth groove 651. A second tooth groove 652 is opened on the side wall of the synchronous gear plate 65. The top side of the display assembly 3 is meshed and connected to the inside of the second tooth groove 652.
[0027] Based on the above technical concept, it is understood that by setting multiple sets of vertical display components 3 to display warning content, the warning area is increased, and each set of display components 3 is individually connected between the crossbeam tube 1 and the base 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall internal support of the warning sign and thus ensuring the warning effect. At the same time, by setting multiple sets of display components 3 into a vertical louver structure and connecting them through a synchronous toothed plate 65, the warning content can be efficiently adjusted and switched simply by using a motor 61 to drive the synchronous toothed plate 65. The control operation is simple. Compared with traditional manual or single electronic component display warning signs, this utility model can continue to work through a battery in the event of a power outage, ensuring the continuous display of warning information, solving the problem that the warning sign cannot work properly when there is a power outage or electronic component failure, and improving the reliability and practicality of the warning sign.
[0028] As an embodiment of this utility model, the drive component 6 also includes a knob 64, which is fixed to the end of the third rotating shaft 63 away from the second gear 62 and is attached to the rear wall of the crossbeam tube 1. Not only can the warning content be switched by driving the motor 61, but the display direction of the display component 3 can also be manually adjusted by rotating the knob 64 on the rear wall of the crossbeam tube 1, which improves the diversity of display adjustment operations.
[0029] It should be noted that, in order to meet the emergency needs of motor 61 in the event of power failure or malfunction, the rotary knob 64 is designed to have a manual operation function. When motor 61 cannot work, the operator can directly rotate knob 64 on the rear wall of crossbeam tube 1 to manually adjust the display direction of display component 3. It is understandable that this manual adjustment mechanism not only improves the diversity of display adjustment operations, but also ensures that the content of the warning sign can still be effectively updated and displayed in emergency situations, thereby ensuring the timely transmission of road safety information.
[0030] Furthermore, to further ensure that the warning sign can quickly return to its initial state after the motor 61 is powered off, a return spring can be installed inside the motor 61 or at the rotating connection of the synchronous gear plate 65. This return spring can structurally work in conjunction with the motor 61 and the synchronous gear plate 65. When the motor 61 is powered on, the return spring's reset potential energy is overcome by the driving force of the motor 61, allowing the motor 61 to drive the display component 3 to flip as needed, displaying different warning content. Once the motor 61 is powered off, the elastic potential energy of the return spring will play a crucial role, automatically releasing and pushing the display component 3 back to the preset initial state. It should be noted that this initial state is usually the most conspicuous and information-critical side of the warning sign, with the aim of ensuring that passing drivers receive the most basic safety warning under any circumstances. At the same time, the return spring needs to be designed with durability and reliability in mind, ensuring that it can maintain its performance after multiple uses and will not lose its elasticity due to frequent expansion and contraction.
[0031] As an embodiment of this utility model, the display component 3 includes a vertical display plate 31, a first rotating shaft 32, a first gear 33, and a second rotating shaft 34. The top surface of the vertical display plate 31 is connected to the first rotating shaft 32, and the first gear 33 is sleeved on the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 32. The bottom surface of the vertical display plate 31 is connected to the second rotating shaft 34. The bottom surface of the crossbeam tube 1 is connected to multiple first sleeves 12. The first rotating shaft 32 is connected through the inside of the first sleeves 12. The first gear 33 is disposed inside the crossbeam tube 1. One side of the first gear 33 is meshed with the inside of the second tooth groove 652. The top surface of the base 5 is fixed with multiple second sleeves 51, and the second rotating shaft 34 is rotatably connected to the inside of the second sleeves 51. It can be understood that by rotatably connecting the first rotating shaft 32 and the second rotating shaft 34 between the crossbeam tube 1 and the base 5 respectively, and then driving the first gear 33 to rotate through the synchronous gear plate 65, the vertical display plate 31 can be flexibly adjusted to rotate, thereby improving the flexibility of switching warning content.
[0032] The preferred vertical display panel 31 is a triangular prism structure. By setting the vertical display panel 31 to a triangular prism structure, three warning messages can be displayed, which improves the diversity of warning content. In specific implementation, one commonly used warning message can be displayed normally, and then switched to one of the other two warning messages by rotating it clockwise or counterclockwise. This reduces the flipping angle and flipping steps and improves the efficiency of warning message switching.
[0033] As another implementation, the proposed vertical display board 31 can also be designed as a double-sided structure, meaning that each side can display different warning information. In practice, the double-sided structure of the vertical display board 31 allows for the display of commonly used warning information, such as "Caution" or "Slow Down," under normal conditions. When specific warning information, such as "Road Construction" or "Temporary Closure," needs to be conveyed, the vertical display board 31 can be flipped to the other side to display the corresponding warning information through a simple operation of the drive component 6. It is understood that this double-sided structure not only reduces the flipping angle and steps, improving the efficiency of warning information switching, but also provides more information display possibilities within a limited space. For example, in snowy areas, one side can display a "Slippery Roads" warning, while the other side can display a "Caution: Ice" message, thus providing drivers with timely and accurate warning information and effectively improving road safety.
[0034] like Figures 5-8As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, the proposed side support assembly 4 includes a side plate 41, a first insert 42, a second insert 43, and a reflective component 44. The first insert 42 and the second insert 43 are fixed to the side wall of the side plate 41. The first insert 42 is inserted into the inside of the crossbeam tube 1, and the second insert 43 is inserted into the inside of the base 5. The front wall of the side plate 41 is provided with a reflective component 44. The reflective component 44 is preferably made of metal, such as aluminum, silver, copper, etc., and its surface is polished to reflect light and produce a significant reflective effect. Alternatively, it can be optical glass or coated with a special optical coating or microcrystalline glass particle reflective material on the surface of the substrate. By providing a reflective component 44 on the front wall of the side plate 41, it can reflect light at the support positions on both sides, attracting the driver's attention to the position of the vertical display plate 31 and improving the warning effect.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the reflective component 44 includes a reflector 441, a third insert 442, an inner baffle 443, and a second locking block 444. The inner baffle 443 and multiple third inserts 442 are fixed to the rear wall of the reflector 441. The second locking block 444 is fixed to the top surface of the inner baffle 443. The second locking block 444 has an L-shaped structure. The front wall of the side plate 41 has a mounting groove 411. The inner wall of the mounting groove 411 has multiple slots 412. The inner wall of the side plate 41 has a first locking block 413, which has an inverted L-shaped structure. The reflector 441 is inserted into the mounting groove 411. The third inserts 442 are inserted into the slots 412. The inner baffle 443 is attached to the inner wall of the side plate 41. The first locking block 413 is inserted between the second locking block 444 and the top surface of the inner baffle 443.
[0036] Based on the above technical concept, it can be understood that after the side plate 41 is installed, by inserting the third insert block 442 into the inside of the side plate 41, the second locking block 444 and the first locking block 413 are connected together, and under the blocking action of the inner baffle 443, the reflector 441 is stably fixed on the side plate 41.
[0037] To further ensure the structural stability and safety of the vertical automatic road condition warning sign, and to effectively prevent the accumulation of rain and snow on the base, a triangular base 5 is proposed. It is understood that the triangle, as a geometric shape, is known for its unique stability. Therefore, the base 5 with this structural feature proposed in this invention can provide solid support under various environmental conditions, reducing the risk of tilting or collapse caused by wind or external forces. The sloping structure of the base 5 helps rain and snow to slide off naturally, preventing water or snow accumulation on the base surface. This not only keeps the warning sign clean but also further enhances its stability. The structure at the top of the base 5, by reducing the contact area with the vertical display plate 31, provides space for flexible switching of display components, making the updating of warning content more convenient. This solves the problem of traditional warning signs collapsing due to excessive snow accumulation in snowy areas, effectively distributing the weight of snow, maintaining the stability of the warning sign, and preventing snow accumulation on the base, thus reducing the workload of cleaning and maintenance.
[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, the base 5 has a hollow structure with both ends through it, and multiple counterweights 52 are inserted into the base 5. The base 5 with multiple counterweights 52 can make anti-tipping adjustments according to the wind force to ensure the stability of the placement.
[0039] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0040] During installation, the counterweight 52 is inserted into the base 5 to enhance stability. The side plate 41 is connected to the crossbeam tube 1 and the base 5 respectively via the first insert 42 and the second insert 43. The reflector 441 is installed in the mounting groove 411 of the side plate 41 to improve the visibility of the warning sign. In use, the motor 61 drives the synchronous gear plate 65, which drives the vertical display plate 31 to rotate synchronously to display the preset warning information. In the event of a power outage, the reset spring ensures that the warning sign can return to its initial state, such as the warning information "Tunnel power outage, please turn on the headlights" and / or "Tunnel power outage, drive with caution". The warning signs display the following information: "Drive" and / or "Accident ahead, slow down" and / or "Slippery road surface, keep a safe distance" and / or "Low visibility due to fog, turn on fog lights" and / or "Sharp turn, drive carefully" and / or "Tunnel exit, changing light" and / or "School zone, slow down". Battery 7 provides power to motor 61 and warning lights 2, ensuring that the warning signs function effectively in various environments and reducing traffic accidents. It should be noted that when a power outage occurs in the tunnel, the warning information will be displayed first, such as: "Tunnel power outage, please turn on headlights".
[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
