Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of profile marker, especially to a self-cleaning warning profile marker. BACKGROUND

[0002] The profile marker is a traffic safety facility arranged along the edge of the two sides of the road, which is used to show the road boundary profile and guide the normal driving of the vehicle. From the function, the profile marker is a line-of-sight inducing facility. The profile marker can make the driver clearly see the road boundary in the night or insufficient light condition through the reverse reflection performance, thereby playing the role of line-of-sight induction.

[0003] The existing self-cleaning profile marker relies on the wind flow to rotate the fan blade to a certain extent, thereby cleaning the dust on the surface of the profile marker in time and effectively maintaining the light reflection effect. However, when there is no wind, the fan blade stops working, the dust on the profile marker cannot be cleaned in time, the profile marker cannot always maintain a high light reflection performance, and the accumulation of dust will cause safety hazards. In the night or foggy weather, the visibility of the profile marker is low, the profile marker cannot play a warning role for the driver, which is not conducive to the driving safety and is easy to cause traffic accidents, personnel casualties and property losses. The solar panel arranged on part of the profile marker cannot clean the dust on the surface in time, which leads to a low efficiency of converting solar energy into electric energy. SUMMARY

[0004] According to the above technical problem, a self-cleaning warning profile marker is provided. The utility model mainly uses the solar panel to provide electric energy for the self-cleaning device and the warning device, which can not only clean itself, but also reflect light and emit light. In the case of curved road section, night and foggy weather, the linearity effect of the road will be more obvious, which is conducive to the safe driving of the vehicle.

[0005] The technical means adopted by the utility model are as follows:

[0006] A self-cleaning warning profile marker comprises a self-cleaning device and a warning device, the warning device is arranged on a warning column, and the warning column is a cylindrical body. The self-cleaning device comprises a solar panel, a motor, a horizontal rod, a rotating rod, a bearing, a bolt, a brush one, a brush two and a fan blade. The outer peripheral wall of the warning column is provided with a reflective film and an LED lamp, and the inside is provided with the rotating rod. The rotating rod penetrates through the horizontal rod and is connected with the fan blade in a nested manner. The shaft center part of the fan blade is connected with the shaft center part of the rotating rod. The solar panel is nested outside the rotating rod through the bearing, and the brush one is fixedly connected with the rotating rod in a screwing manner.

[0007] The warning device part is composed of a reflective film, an LED lamp, a controller, a timer, a battery, and a haze detection probe. The controller is electrically connected with the timer, the LED lamp, the haze detection probe, and the motor through wires. The battery is used to store converted electrical energy and provide power support at night or in heavy fog weather. When it is night or in heavy fog weather, the LED lamp starts discharging under the action of the controller and the timer, drives the LED lamp to emit light through the circuit, and flashes at a certain frequency to induce and warn the driver.

[0008] Further, the fan blades rotate the brush two around the warning column when rotating under the action of wind, and the brush one makes a circular motion on the solar panel to clean the surfaces of the warning column and the solar panel respectively.

[0009] Further, the top of the warning column is provided with a solar panel. When sunlight irradiates the surface of the solar panel, the solar energy is quickly converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery.

[0010] Further, the reflective film is made of PET or PVC material, and preferably the reflective film made of PET material has a first or second level of reverse reflection performance.

[0011] Further, the motor is connected with the rotating rod, the timer, and the controller. The timer sends instructions to the controller, and the controller controls the motor to rotate. Under the rotation of the motor, the rotating rod rotates in the bearing, drives the brush one to clean the solar panel, and drives the brush two connected with the horizontal rod to rotate around the warning column for cleaning.

[0012] Further, when the brush two is seriously worn and cannot be used, the brush two can be disassembled by adjusting the bolt on the horizontal rod.

[0013] Further, the brush one is connected with the rotating rod by screwing, the length of the brush one is half the radius of the solar panel, and the length of the brush two is the height of the warning column.

[0014] Further, the haze detection probe is installed above the body of the warning column and is electrically connected with the controller and the LED lamp. When heavy fog weather occurs, the haze detection probe works to send instructions to the controller to control the LED lamp to be powered on.

[0015] Further, the solar panel is electrically connected with the battery. The controller converts solar energy into electrical energy through the solar panel and stores it in the battery. Under the condition of daylight, the solar cell converts the received light energy into electrical energy, charges the battery through the wire, and stops working after dark. The battery converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy to power the required power components.

[0016] Further, the LED lamp adopts the yellow light LED lamp with strong fog penetration to perform illumination and lane warning operation, so that the lane warning in fog is realized, and the practicability of the warning column is improved, which is beneficial to the safe driving of the driver.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The self-cleaning warning profile sign provided by the utility model can not only clean itself, but also reflect light and emit light, so that the driver can clearly grasp the profile of the road. Especially in the case of curved road sections, at night, and in foggy weather, the layout of the self-cleaning warning profile sign makes the linear effect of the road more obvious, which is beneficial to the safe driving of the driver. The reflective performance of the self-cleaning warning profile sign also helps the driver to know the road conditions in front of the vehicle in advance when driving on the lane.

[0019] 2. The self-cleaning warning profile sign provided by the utility model is provided with a solar panel on the warning column, and is internally provided with a storage battery. During the day, the solar panel converts solar energy into electric energy, and the electric energy is stored in the storage battery, so as to be provided for the electric components. In addition, the solar panel can play a role in preventing sunburn and rain.

[0020] 3. The self-cleaning warning profile sign provided by the utility model is provided with a threaded rotation and rotation connection between the brush one and the rotating connection, and a bolt connection between the brush two and the horizontal rod. When the brush one and the brush two are damaged due to long-time rotation, they can be quickly disassembled and replaced, so that the flexibility of the self-cleaning part is improved. The brush two can clean the solar panel regularly, so as to improve the light energy absorption efficiency of the solar panel, avoid insufficient light energy absorption, and affect the regular cleaning and the working of the LED lamp. The regular working of the motor through the timer and the controller can clean the reflective film, the LED lamp and the solar panel on the warning column regularly, so as to avoid the situation that the fan blades cannot rotate and the brush cannot clean due to insufficient wind force caused by weather.

[0021] Based on the above reasons, the utility model can be widely popularized in the field of profile signs. DRAWINGS
