[0029] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-7 This embodiment will be described in further detail.

[0031] Combination Figures 1-7As shown, a traffic cone for road and bridge construction in this embodiment includes a cone-shaped cylinder 101 and a base 100. The lower end of the cone-shaped cylinder 101 extends outward to form a mounting part 400. The base 100 has a through hole 501 for the cone-shaped cylinder 101 to pass through. The upper side of the base 100 has a placement annular groove 602. A counterweight block 600 for increasing the weight of the base 100 is provided in the placement annular groove 602. A threaded annular groove 603 is provided on the upper side of the base 100 outside the placement annular groove 602. An installation annular cover 106 for sealing the threaded annular groove 603 is threaded in the threaded annular groove 603. An installation block 401 is provided opposite to the upper side of the mounting part 400. The lower end of the base 100 has an installation groove 502 for the corresponding installation block 401 to be inserted. An installation hole 402 is provided on the side wall of the installation block 401. A locking component for inserting into the corresponding installation hole 402 is provided inside the base 100.

[0032] In practical use, the outer wall of the cone 101 is provided with reflective strips 105. When road or bridge construction is carried out, the traffic cone is placed along the outer side of the construction area. Through the conspicuous red or orange color of the outer side of the cone 101 and the reflective strips 105, it can better warn pedestrians and vehicles, thereby reducing the risk of traffic accidents caused by road or bridge construction and ensuring the safety of pedestrians and vehicles.

[0033] In actual use, the base 100 is fitted over the conical cylinder 101 from top to bottom through the through hole 501, so that the upper side of the mounting part 400 can fit against the lower side of the base 100. Specifically, the lower side of the base 100 is provided with an annular groove 500, so that the upper side of the mounting part 400 can fit against the upper side wall of the annular groove 500, so that the lower side of the mounting part 400 can be flush with the lower side of the base 100, thereby allowing the traffic cone to be placed more stably on the ground.

[0034] The placement of the ring groove 602 and the counterweight 600 allows the counterweight 600 to be placed within the ring groove 602, thereby placing the counterweight 600 on the base 100. This allows the counterweight 600 to press down on the base 100, which in turn presses down on the mounting part 400. This ensures that the base 100 can better fix the conical cylinder 101, thus better preventing the traffic cone from being blown over by the wind.

[0035] The threaded annular groove 603 and the mounting ring cover 106 are provided so that the mounting ring cover 106 can be threaded into the threaded annular groove 603, thereby sealing the placement annular groove 602 and allowing the counterweight 600 to be fixedly installed on the base 100.

[0036] Specifically, in order to facilitate the operator to rotate the mounting ring cover 106, in this embodiment, a lever 107 is provided on the upper side wall of the mounting ring cover 106. The lever 107 facilitates the operator to rotate the mounting ring cover 106.

[0037] The mounting groove 502 is located on the upper side wall of the annular groove 500. When the base 100 moves down along the conical cylinder 101, causing the mounting block 401 to abut against the upper side wall of the annular groove 500, the base 100 is rotated. When the mounting groove 502 is aligned with the mounting block 401, the base 100 moves down due to its own weight, allowing the mounting block 401 to be inserted into the mounting groove 502.

[0038] The locking component is designed to be inserted into the corresponding mounting hole 402, thereby fixing the mounting block 401 in place so that it cannot detach from the mounting groove 502, thus allowing the conical cylinder 101 to be fixedly mounted on the base 100.

[0039] Combination Figures 2-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 100 has a first cavity 300 that communicates with the corresponding mounting slot 502. The locking assembly includes a slidable locking rod 301 located in the first cavity 300. The first cavity 300 also has a slider 302 connected to one end of the locking rod 301. A drive rod 304 is provided on the side wall of the slider 302 along its length. One end of the drive rod 304 extends through the first cavity 300. A first spring 305 is provided on the drive rod 304 located in the first cavity 300. The first spring 305 is used to push the slider 302 to slide and drive the locking rod 301 to insert into the corresponding mounting hole 402. The locking assembly also includes a positioning member for positioning the slider 302.

[0040] In actual use, the mounting block 401 is adapted to the mounting groove 502, so that the side wall of the mounting block 401 can slide against the corresponding side wall of the mounting groove 502, so that the mounting block 401 will not wobble in the mounting groove 502, thereby making the mounting hole 402 aligned with one end of the first cavity 300; at the same time, one end of the first spring 305 abuts against the side wall of the slider 302, and the other end abuts against the corresponding side wall of the first cavity 300, so that the first spring 305 can push the slider 302 to drive the locking rod 301 to insert into the corresponding mounting hole 402, thereby preventing the mounting block 401 from detaching from the mounting groove 502, thus allowing the conical cylinder 101 to be fixedly mounted on the base 100;

[0041] In actual use, when the color on the outside of the conical cylinder 101 fades or the reflective strip 105 has poor reflective effect and the conical cylinder 101 needs to be replaced, the drive rod 304 is pulled outward, causing the drive rod 304 to drive the slider 302 to drive the locking rod 301 out of the mounting hole 402 and compress the first spring 305. At this time, the positioning component can position the slider 302, preventing the slider 302 from sliding in the first cavity 300. This ensures that the positioning component always keeps the locking rod 301 out of the mounting hole 402, making it easy for the operator to remove the base 100 from the conical cylinder 101 for replacement. At the same time, when the positioning component cancels the positioning of the slider 302, the locking rod 301 can extend into the mounting hole 402 under the action of the first spring 305.

[0042] The locking rod 301 and the mounting hole 402 are both square and compatible, so that the side wall of the locking rod 301 can slide against the corresponding side wall of the mounting hole 402, so that the locking rod 301 will not shake in the mounting hole 402, thereby better preventing the tapered cylinder 101 from shaking in the vertical direction on the base 100.

[0043] In order to facilitate the operator to pull the drive rod 304 outward, in this embodiment, a pull post 109 is provided at the end of the extended end of the drive rod 304. The pull post 109 facilitates the operator to pull the drive rod 304 outward.

[0044] Combination Figures 2-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 100 is provided with a second cavity 306 perpendicular to the first cavity 300, and the upper side wall of the slider 302 is provided with a limiting groove 303; the positioning member includes a positioning block 309 disposed in the second cavity 306 and slidable, and a positioning rod 307 extending out of the second cavity 306 is vertically provided on the upper side wall of the positioning block 309. The positioning rod 307 located in the second cavity 306 is sleeved with a second spring 308, which is used to push the positioning block 309 down to extend out of the limiting groove 303.

[0045] In actual use, in the initial state, the second spring 308 pushes the positioning block 309 downward so that the lower end of the positioning block 309 abuts against the upper side wall of the slider 302. When the drive rod 304 is pulled outward, the drive rod 304 drives the slider 302 to drive the locking rod 301 to slide along the first cavity 300. When the limiting groove 303 on the slider 302 is aligned with the positioning block 309, the second spring 308 continues to push the positioning block 309 downward so that the positioning block 309 can be inserted into the limiting groove 303, so that the slider 302 cannot slide in the first cavity 300, thereby keeping the locking rod 301 in the state of being detached from the mounting hole 402.

[0046] In actual use, by lifting the positioning rod 307, the positioning rod 307 can drive the positioning block 309 to move upward and compress the second spring 308. At this time, under the action of the first spring 305, the first spring 305 can push the slider 302 to drive the locking rod 301 to insert into the mounting hole 402. At this time, the positioning rod 307 is released, so that the second spring 308 can push the positioning block 309 to move downward and abut against the upper side wall of the slider 302.

[0047] The slider 302 is adapted to the first cavity 300, so that the side wall of the slider 302 can slide against the corresponding side wall of the first cavity 300, thereby preventing the slider 302 from shaking within the first cavity 300. At the same time, the positioning block 309 is adapted to the second cavity 306, so that the side wall of the positioning block 309 can slide against the corresponding side wall of the second cavity 306, thereby preventing the positioning block 309 from shaking within the second cavity 306. This ensures that the positioning block 309 is always aligned with the limiting groove 303, so that the positioning block 309 can be better inserted into the limiting groove 303.

[0048] The positioning rod 307 is provided with a nut 108 at its upper end, which makes it easier for the operator to lift the positioning rod 307.

[0049] Specifically, the bottom of the base 100 is provided with a storage hole for storing the nut 108, thereby avoiding affecting the stacking and storage of the traffic cone.

[0050] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, in this embodiment, a first annular storage groove 103 is provided at the upper end of the conical cylinder 101, and a handle 102 that can be rotated into the storage groove is provided in the storage groove through a hinge rod 700.

[0051] In actual use, the upper end of the conical cylinder 101 is provided with a through hole 104 that passes through the first storage groove 103. The handle 102 is semi-circular, and the hinge rod 700 is rotatably installed in the first storage groove 103 through the through hole 104. At the same time, the hinge rod 700 is provided through both ends of the handle 102, so that the handle 102 can be rotatably installed in the mounting groove 502.

[0052] In actual use, when it is necessary to stack these traffic cones, the lower end of the cone 101 is inserted into another cone 101 so that the two cones 101 can be stacked. By rotating the handle 102, the handle 102 can be rotated into the first storage slot 103 for storage, thereby better avoiding the handle 102 from interfering with the stacking of these traffic cones.

[0053] The handle 102 facilitates the movement and stacking of the traffic cone by operators.

[0054] Specifically, since the lever 107 is vertically mounted on the upper side of the mounting ring cover 106, in order to avoid the lever 107 affecting the stacking of the traffic cones, in this embodiment, a second storage groove 403 is provided on the lower side of the mounting part 400 along its circumference. With the setting of the second storage groove 403, the lower lever 107 can be inserted into the second storage groove 403 of the mounting part 400 stacked on top of it, so that the lower lever 107 can be stored, thereby avoiding the lever 107 affecting the stacking of the traffic cones.

[0055] In practical use, the base 100 is fitted over the tapered cylinder 101 from top to bottom through the through hole 501. The upper side of the mounting part 400 can fit against the upper side wall of the annular groove 500, allowing the mounting block 401 to be inserted into the mounting groove 502. At this time, by lifting the positioning rod 307, the positioning rod 307 can drive the positioning block 309 to move upward and compress the second spring 308. At this time, under the action of the first spring 305, the first spring 305 can push the slider 302 to lock. The rod 301 is inserted into the mounting hole 402, preventing it from detaching from the mounting groove 502, thereby allowing the conical cylinder 101 to be fixedly mounted on the base 100. When the traffic cones need to be stacked, the handle 102 is rotated so that it can be inserted into the first storage groove 103 for storage. At this time, by inserting the lower end of the conical cylinder 101 into another conical cylinder 101, the two conical cylinders 101 can be stacked, thus enabling the traffic cones to be stacked.

[0056] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
