Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart city road sign technology, specifically a smart city wayfinding sign device. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of urbanization, the concept of smart cities has emerged. Smart cities aim to improve urban efficiency and residents' quality of life by utilizing advanced information technology to achieve intelligent management and operation. In smart cities, urban wayfinding systems are a crucial component, providing essential guidance information for pedestrians and vehicles, and helping to maintain traffic order and ensure the normal operation of public services.

[0003] However, existing urban wayfinding signs have some shortcomings. In most cities, traditional wayfinding signs are usually fixed to the ground or buildings, and their information is generally presented through printing or writing. These signs have the following problems:

[0004] First, their information display methods are relatively simple and cannot be flexibly adjusted and updated according to actual conditions. For example, in situations such as road construction and traffic control, traditional signs cannot provide accurate directional information to pedestrians or vehicles in a timely manner.

[0005] Secondly, traditional signs have poor protective performance. In severe weather conditions, such as hail, typhoons, and heavy rain, signs are easily damaged, resulting in unclear or completely lost signage information. In particular, some signs with display screens can be damaged by debris blown by hail or typhoons, thus affecting their normal directional function. Utility Model Content

[0041] I. Overall Structure

[0042] Support section

[0043] The support column 1 is the supporting structure for the entire guide sign device. Its bottom end is mounted on top of the fixed base 2 positioned on the ground, thereby stably fixing the entire device to the ground. A top limiting plate 7 is installed at the top of the support column 1 to restrict the continuous upward sliding of the protective sleeve 5. This top limiting plate 7 can prevent the protective sleeve 5 from detaching from the support column 1 during the upward process.

[0044] A rectangular recycling trough 11 is provided at the top of the support column 1, which is used to accommodate the signboard 3. At the same time, a vertically distributed mounting groove 12 is provided in the lower half of the support column 1. A lifting drive mechanism 6 is installed inside the mounting groove 12 to drive the protective sleeve 5 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the operation of closing and opening the recycling trough 11.

[0045] Signboard section

[0046] The signboard 3 is installed inside the recycling bin 11 and can be flipped to the outside of the support post 1 at a 90° angle with the support post 1 under the action of the display-recycling device 4, so as to properly display the sign information. The signboard 3 is equipped with a display screen 31 that indicates the road name, through which directional sign information can be displayed to passing pedestrians or vehicles.

[0047] Protective Part

[0048] The protective sleeve 5 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the support column 1. When the sign plate 3 rotates to the recycling tank 11, the protective sleeve 5 can slide to the top of the support column 1 and completely seal the recycling tank 11 under the drive of the lifting drive mechanism 6. This protects the sign plate 3 and other components inside the recycling tank 11 in extreme weather conditions such as hail and typhoon.

[0049] II. Detailed Structure and Principle of Each Functional Component

[0050] Exhibition - Recycling Device 4

[0051] The exhibit-recycling device 4 mainly consists of a first reduction motor 41, a drive gear 42, and a transmission gear 43. The first reduction motor 41 is installed at the top of the recycling tank 11, and its output end is connected to the drive gear 42. The transmission gear 43 is connected to the rotating end of the sign plate 3, and the drive gear 42 and the transmission gear 43 mesh with each other.

[0052] Exhibition - Working principle of recycling device 4:

[0053] When the signboard 3 needs to be displayed, the first reduction motor 41 starts, driving the drive gear 42 to rotate. Due to the meshing relationship between the drive gear 42 and the transmission gear 43, the transmission gear 43 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the signboard 3 to rotate around its top until the signboard 3 and the support column 1 form a 90° angle, thus realizing the display of the signboard 3. In extreme weather conditions, the first reduction motor 41 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the signboard 3 to rotate back into the recycling tank 11.

[0054] Lifting drive mechanism 6

[0055] The lifting drive mechanism 6 consists of a second reduction motor 61, a drive screw 62, and a screw sleeve 63. The second reduction motor 61 is installed at the bottom of the mounting groove 12, and its output end is connected to the drive screw 62. The screw sleeve 63 is threaded onto the drive screw 62, and the outer wall of the screw sleeve 63 is connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the protective sleeve 5.

[0056] Working principle of lifting drive mechanism 6:

[0057] When the recycling tank 11 needs to be closed, the second reduction motor 61 starts, driving the drive screw 62 to rotate. Due to the threaded connection between the screw sleeve 63 and the drive screw 62, the screw sleeve 63 will rise or fall along the drive screw 62. When the screw sleeve 63 rises, it drives the protective sleeve 5 to rise until the protective sleeve 5 slides to the top of the support column 1 to completely close the recycling tank 11. When the recycling tank 11 needs to be opened, the second reduction motor 61 rotates in the opposite direction, and the screw sleeve 63 drives the protective sleeve 5 to fall.
