[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by those skilled in the art.
[0023] Example:
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the self-righting signpost of this utility model includes a base 1, on which a tube 2 is provided. An elastic reset member 3 is inserted into the tube 2, and a telescopic rod is connected to the elastic reset member 3. In use, the self-righting signpost, through the cooperation of the base 1, tube 2, elastic reset member 3, and telescopic rod, allows the base 1 to be installed in a suitable position, the lower end of the elastic reset member 3 to be inserted into the tube, and the telescopic rod to be connected to the upper end of the elastic reset member 3. When the signpost tilts under force, the elastic reset member 3 can restore it to a vertical state, ensuring continuous use without breakage. The length of the telescopic rod can be adjusted according to actual conditions, thereby adjusting the overall length of the signpost to meet different usage needs.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic pole includes a lower tube 4 and an upper tube 5. The outer diameter of the lower tube 4 is adapted to the inner diameter of the upper tube 5. A damping slide 6 is fitted onto the lower tube 4 to prevent the upper tube 5 from sliding down. With this design, the damping slide 6 can be held and slid up and down along the lower tube 4 to adjust the length of the lower tube 4 inserted into the upper tube 5, thereby adjusting the length of the entire sign pole to adapt to different usage needs, making operation quite convenient.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic reset member 3 includes a T-shaped member and a vertical member. The T-shaped member includes a limiting plate 7, with a fixing cylinder 8 for inserting the insert 2 at its lower end. A through hole 14 communicating with the fixing cylinder 8 is provided on the limiting plate 7. A fixing crossbar 10 is provided inside the fixing cylinder 8, and a rope 11 that passes through the through hole 14 and engages with the vertical member is fitted onto the fixing crossbar 10. The vertical member includes a vertical cylinder 12 with a bottom sealing plate, and a through hole corresponding to the through hole 14 is provided on the bottom sealing plate. A spring 13 is placed inside the vertical cylinder 12, and a compression member is connected to the top of the spring 13. The rope 11 passes through the through hole 14, the through hole, and the spring 13 before connecting to the compression member. With this design, the fixed cylinder 8 is inserted into the insert cylinder 2, and the limiting plate 7 abuts against the edge of the insert cylinder 2 to limit the movement. The fixed crossbar 10 is used to connect the rope 11. The rope 11 passes through the through hole 14, the through hole, and the spring 13 and then connects to the compression component, so that the spring 13 is in a compressed state. When the telescopic rod is tilted by force, the compression component increases the pressure on the spring 13 under the tension of the rope 11. The reaction force of the spring 13 makes the compression component slide upward, thereby allowing the telescopic rod to return to its original position.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the compression component includes a pressure plate 15 connected to the spring 13 and a movable crossbar 16 pressed against the surface of the pressure plate 15. The rope 11 freely passes through the pressure plate 15 and is connected to the movable crossbar 16, keeping the spring 13 in a compressed state. With this design, the pressure plate 15 can easily press down on the spring 13. The rope 11 is connected to the movable crossbar 16. When the telescopic rod tilts and the spring 13 is compressed, the movable crossbar 16 slides downward. When the telescopic rod returns to its original position, the spring 13 extends, the movable crossbar 16 slides upward, and the entire telescopic rod returns to its original position.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, a side hole 9 is provided on the side of the fixing cylinder 8 to facilitate the installation of the rope 11. This design allows for convenient installation of the rope 11.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the rope 11 is made of fine steel wire rope, which has good mechanical strength and can extend its service life.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment, a sponge tube is sleeved on the outside of the upper tube 5, which can greatly prevent the sign pole from injuring people.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the 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 or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
