[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments, so that the advantages and features of the present utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present utility model. Obviously, the embodiments described in this utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0033] Example 1: The specific structure of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a multifunctional integrated traffic signal controller, which has normal traffic light control function, remote control function, and manual control function.
[0035] The traffic signal controller includes a base 5 and a cabinet 3 mounted on the base 5. The top of the cabinet 3 is provided with a cover 1, and the four sides of the cover 1 extend outward to form a protruding eave. The bottom surface of the cover 1 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 3. The base 5 is a concrete base, and a wiring box is provided inside it. The wiring box is electrically connected to the traffic lights.
[0036] An opening and closing window assembly 2 is also provided between the cover 1 and the cabinet 3. The opening and closing window assembly 2 includes a base plate, a fan 27, a limiting post 24, multiple U-shaped frames 21, at least one spring 22, an electromagnet 23, and a magnet 25.
[0037] The base plate is obliquely mounted on the upper port of the cabinet 3. The base plate has fan mounting holes. After the base plate is obliquely mounted, a space is formed between it and the cover 1. The base plate is sealed. The advantage of its oblique installation is that even if a small amount of rainwater enters the base plate surface, the oblique setting of the base plate allows the rainwater to flow out of the cabinet 3, preventing water accumulation.
[0038] Fan 27 is installed at the fan mounting hole. Fan 27 is a dual-fan structure. It is installed behind the base plate and is also tilted. When the tilted fan exhausts air, it can be guided through the gap between multiple U-shaped frames 21 by the cover 1 and discharged outward.
[0039] Two limiting posts 24 are provided. The two limiting posts 24 are fixed at the two corners of the slope top of the base plate. The two limiting posts 24 are installed vertically and are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The top area of the limiting posts 24 is provided with a threaded section for tightening the nut.
[0040] Multiple U-shaped frames 21 are sequentially fitted onto two limiting posts 24 at both ends. Each U-shaped frame 21 has at least one protrusion 211 on its front or back. Both ends of the multiple U-shaped frames 21 are provided with waist-shaped holes, which are designed to allow the U-shaped frames 21 to swing.
[0041] One end of the spring 22 is fixed to the slope of the base plate, and the other end is fixed to the cover 1. Multiple U-shaped brackets 21 are welded equidistantly along the length of the spring 22. Two springs 22 are provided, and each spring 22 is welded and fixed to one of the two inner right angles of the multiple U-shaped brackets 21. The multiple U-shaped brackets 21 are fitted onto the limiting post 24 and secured with nuts. The spring 22 can support the cover 1 horizontally without external force. The multiple U-shaped brackets 21, supported by the spring 22, form a ventilation window, allowing air to be exhausted through the ventilation window when the fan 27 is running. The ventilation window is open when the weather is sunny or cloudy.
[0042] Electromagnet 23 is fixed to the base plate and installed horizontally. When energized, electromagnet 23 generates magnetic force. Magnet 25 is fixed to the cover 1 and faces the electromagnet 23 with the magnetic attraction direction set. The cover 1 is equipped with a rain sensor 26, which is electrically connected to the MCU. The MCU controls the on / off state of the electromagnet 23 through a control relay. When it rains, rainwater falls on the cover 1. The rain sensor 26 on the cover 1 senses the rainwater and generates a signal sent to the MCU. The MCU controls the relay to be energized. After the relay is energized, the electromagnet 23 generates magnetic force. Its strong magnetic force will pull magnet 25 downward. Magnet 25 drives the cover 1 to move downward. The cover 1 compresses two springs 22. When the two springs 22 are compressed, they will drive each U-shaped frame 21 to close until the protrusion 211 abuts against the adjacent U-shaped frame 21. The cover 1 will eventually be tilted, and a small gap will be formed between each U-shaped frame 21 to allow air to pass through. Due to the reduced gap and the cover 1 covering it, rainwater will have difficulty entering the cavity of the bottom plate.
[0043] When the rain stops, the rain sensor 26 does not detect rainwater and generates a signal to send to the MCU. The MCU controls the relay to de-energize. After the relay is de-energized, the electromagnet 23 is de-energized and no longer has magnetic attraction to the magnet 25. The spring 22 resets and drives the cover 1 to return to a horizontal state, and each U-shaped frame 21 unfolds.
[0044] The electromagnet 23 is also designed to be waterproof during installation, that is, waterproofing is achieved by sealing it with glue.
[0045] The opening and closing window assembly 2 and the cover 1 of this utility model are a single module, which is pre-assembled at the factory and can be directly installed on site without the need for additional manpower. During on-site assembly, the base plate is simply fixed to the upper opening of the cabinet 3. Example 2:
[0046] The cabinet 3 has an internal air duct, and the back of the cabinet 3 has an air guide plate 4 that communicates with the air duct. The air guide plate 4 has downward-facing air inlets to form a waterproof structure. The air guide plate 4 only has downward-facing air inlets, preventing rainwater from entering through them. The channels inside the air guide plate 4 are equipped with a dustproof layer and a moisture-proof layer. The dustproof layer uses dustproof mesh fabric, and the moisture-proof layer uses honeycomb carbon fiber.
[0047] In summary, this utility model improves the heat dissipation structure of the traffic signal controller, enhancing both heat dissipation and waterproofing. The controller is mounted on the top of the cabinet using an opening and closing window assembly. This assembly can be opened and closed; in rainy weather, the opening and closing window assembly closes to reduce the gap, and the tilted cover prevents rainwater from entering the cavity between the cover and the base plate.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
