[0002] Railway signal lights, as indispensable key equipment in the railway transportation system, bear the important mission of directing train operations and ensuring traffic safety. They are widely distributed, installed along railway lines in various complex geographical environments and climatic conditions, from bustling cities to remote mountainous areas, from hot and arid deserts to cold and humid coastal regions. In such diverse and harsh environments, signal lights face many challenges, among which impacts from external debris are a particularly prominent issue. Whether it's the sandstorms kicked up by passing trains, flying rocks caused by natural disasters such as landslides and mudslides, or small foreign objects generated in the railway's surrounding environment for various reasons, all can impact signal lights. Once a signal light is damaged by an impact, it will directly affect the normal display of signals, thereby interfering with train operation and scheduling, and in severe cases, potentially causing railway accidents, endangering the lives and property of passengers, and disrupting the normal order of railway transportation.

[0003] Existing railway signal lights are protected by metal protective nets installed on the outside of the signal lights. The metal wires are interwoven to form a protective barrier to prevent large objects from hitting the signal lights. Although the metal protective nets can block larger objects, they cannot completely prevent small sand particles and some small sharp objects from passing through and hitting the signal lights. Over time, they will still cause wear and damage to the surface of the signal lights. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a railway signal light that is easy to maintain, including a mounting platform 1, a fixing plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting platform 1, a signal light body 3 fixedly connected inside the fixing plate 2, a protective component 4 provided outside the signal light body 3, and a disassembly component 5 provided on the side of the fixing plate 2 away from the signal light body 3.

[0032] The protective component 4 includes a connecting ring 41, which is detachably connected to the outside of the signal light body 3. The connecting ring 41 is used to install the glass cover 45 on the outside of the signal light body 3. Multiple L-shaped plugs 42 are fixedly connected to one side of the connecting ring 41. An external ring 43 is fixedly connected to the outside of the signal light body 3. Multiple L-shaped slots 44 are opened inside the external ring 43. The L-shaped plugs 42 are inserted into the L-shaped slots 44. When the L-shaped plugs 42 are inserted into the L-shaped slots 44, the L-shaped plugs 42 can be locked in the slots by rotating the connecting ring 41, effectively preventing the connecting ring 41 from coming out due to external force.

[0033] A glass cover 45 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting ring 41 away from the L-shaped plug 42. The glass cover 45 is made of high-strength, high-transparency glass material, which can effectively block objects and prevent them from directly contacting the signal light body 3 and causing damage. A shield 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing plate 2. The shield 7 is located outside the signal light body 3 to prevent external factors from above and to the side from colliding with the signal light body 3. The connecting ring 41 is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the outer ring 43, further ensuring the safety of the connection between the glass cover 45 and the signal light body 3.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 The disassembly assembly 5 includes a flip cover 51, which is externally fixedly connected to two side plates 52. The side plates 52 provide a mounting base for the adjusting screws 53. The adjusting screws 53 are rotatably connected inside the two side plates 52. The fixed plate 2 has threaded holes 54 on both sides of its exterior, and the two adjusting screws 53 are threaded into the threaded holes 54. When it is necessary to open the flip cover 51 for maintenance, the operator can open the flip cover 51 by rotating the adjusting screws 53.

[0035] A support assembly 6 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed plate 2. The support assembly 6 includes two first diagonal braces 61. During the opening of the flip cover 51, the first diagonal braces 61 rotate to adapt to the movement trajectory of the flip cover 51. One end of each of the two first diagonal braces 61 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 2, and the other end of the first diagonal braces 61 away from the fixed plate 2 is rotatably connected to a second diagonal brace 62. The end of the second diagonal brace 62 away from the first diagonal brace 61 is rotatably connected to the inside of the flip cover 51. The second diagonal brace 62 plays an important role in connecting and guiding the first diagonal brace 61 and the flip cover 51. The rotatable connection between the second diagonal brace 62 and the first diagonal brace 61 allows the second diagonal brace 62 to move in coordination with the rotation of the first diagonal brace 61 when the flip cover 51 moves, further guiding the flip cover 51 to open and close smoothly along a predetermined trajectory. The flip cover 51 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed plate 2 away from the signal light body 3, and the side plate 52 away from the flip cover 51 is attached to the outside of the fixed plate 2.

[0036] Working principle: First, align the L-shaped plug 42 of the outer connecting ring 41 of the signal light body 3 with the L-shaped slot 44 inside the outer connecting ring 43 and insert it. Then rotate the connecting ring 41 to make the L-shaped plug 42 lock in the L-shaped slot 44, thereby firmly installing the glass cover 45 on the outside of the signal light body 3 and preventing external debris from hitting the signal light body 3 from the front.

[0037] Secondly, when maintenance of the signal light body 3 is required, rotating the adjusting screw 53 causes it to rotate out of the threaded hole 54, and pulling the flip cover 51 opens the fixing plate 2. During this process, the first diagonal support rod 61 and the second diagonal support rod 62 rotate, providing auxiliary support and guidance, allowing the flip cover 51 to open smoothly. Once the flip cover 51 is fully open, it is convenient to inspect, maintain, or replace parts of the signal light body 3.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
