Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic lights, and in particular to a mobile traffic light. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN206711400U discloses a mobile traffic signal light. While this traffic signal light can convert solar energy into electricity for its own use through the cooperation of photovoltaic panels, a controller, and an inverter, it still has other problems during use. For example, it lacks a retractable and protective function; the signal light unit on the device is always external after installation, and its surface is prone to dust accumulation when idle and easily damaged by collisions during transportation and carrying, resulting in poor safety and stability. Furthermore, the bottom of the signal light relies entirely on casters for support on the ground. However, to avoid occupying space and completely obscuring the bottom of the base during installation, the contact area between the casters and the ground is small, making it prone to tipping over in strong winds. To solve the above problems, we propose a mobile traffic signal light. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile traffic signal light that solves the problems of existing traffic signals lacking storage and protection functions and having poor stability.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a mobile traffic signal light, including a housing, an energy storage battery bolted inside the housing, a cylinder welded to the top of the housing, a hydraulic cylinder bolted through the inside of the cylinder, a fixing component installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, four signal light units installed at the middle end of the fixing component, a through groove opened at the top of the cylinder, a fixing frame bolted to the bottom of the housing, four fixing blocks arranged inside the fixing frame, a connecting rod and a threaded rod welded to one side and the bottom of the fixing blocks respectively, a universal wheel installed on the surface of the connecting rod, four sliding grooves opened at the bottom of the fixing frame, and a nut threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod.

[0005] The above technical solution provides storage and protection, reducing dust accumulation during idle periods and improving safety during transportation. It is highly practical, enhances stability, is easy to operate, increases the contact area between the bottom and the ground, and improves wind and tipping resistance.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: a photovoltaic panel is installed on the top of the fixing member, and a controller and an inverter are respectively bolted to the inside of the housing by screws.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, through the setting of photovoltaic panels, controllers and inverters, when there is sufficient sunshine, the photovoltaic panels on top of the fixed components will receive sunlight and convert solar energy into electrical energy. After the electrical energy is generated, it will enter the energy storage battery through the controller. The energy in the energy storage battery can be converted into AC power by the inverter for use, which can provide photovoltaic power supply function, reduce dependence on traditional electricity, and thus achieve the purpose of energy saving and cost reduction.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the diameters of the top and bottom of the fixing member are both larger than the diameter of the through groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, rainwater can be blocked after the fixing part rises to the bottom or is completely retracted downwards, preventing rainwater from entering the cylinder from the through groove.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the surfaces of the shell and the cylinder are coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and applying anti-corrosion coatings, the anti-corrosion and moisture-proof effects on the surface of the shell and cylinder can be improved.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a spring washer is fitted on the surface of the threaded rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the spring washer, the fixing effect of the nut after tightening can be improved, and it can play a role in shock prevention and loosening prevention.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the fixing block, connecting rod, threaded rod and nut are all made of stainless steel.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, the fixing block, connecting rod, threaded rod, and nut have the characteristics of high strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance.

[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model utilizes a hydraulic cylinder activated after the signal light unit is installed. Upon activation, the hydraulic cylinder moves the fixing component downwards, causing the signal light unit to enter the cylinder through the top slot. Once the fixing component reaches its bottom, its top blocks the slot. During use, the hydraulic cylinder is activated again to move the fixing component upwards, causing the signal light unit to exit through the slot. Once the fixing component reaches its bottom, its bottom blocks the slot. This design provides a retractable and protective function, reducing dust accumulation during idle periods and improving safety during transportation and carrying. It is highly practical.

[0018] 2. When using this utility model, first move the signal light to the designated position. Once the designated position is reached, tilt the signal light onto the ground. Then, use a tool to loosen the nut. After the nut is loosened, grab the caster wheel and move the connecting rod and fixing block outward. When the caster wheel is pulled out to the bottom, tighten the nut again. Finally, stand the signal light upright. This can improve its stability, is simple and convenient to operate, increases the contact range between the bottom and the ground, and improves wind resistance and anti-tipping effect.
