Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of guardrails and relates to a municipal isolation guardrail with flower boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Municipal guardrails, typically used in highways or parks, are devices used to separate road sections. To maintain the city's appearance, flower boxes are often installed at the joints of the guardrails to plant ornamental flowers and plants, thereby improving the cityscape and creating a pleasant urban living environment. However, some existing municipal guardrails with flower boxes, due to their outdoor placement and large number, lack adequate protective design. In extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, the plants inside the flower boxes are easily damaged, requiring substantial annual government investment in replanting.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a municipal isolation guardrail with a flower box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model discloses a municipal isolation railing with flower boxes. The technical solution adopted is as follows: It includes isolation railings, flower boxes fixedly connected between adjacent isolation railings, and support feet fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the flower boxes. A covering mechanism is provided on the front and rear side walls of the flower boxes. The covering mechanism includes side plates movably mounted on the front and rear side walls of the flower boxes. Notches are opened at both ends of the upper side walls of the front and rear side plates. The two opposite corners at the lower ends of the front and rear side plates are fixedly connected by connecting rods. T-shaped fixing ears are installed in the notches. Rotary shafts are inserted into the front and rear ends of the T-shaped fixing ears. The inward-facing ends of the left and right opposite rotating shafts on the front and rear outer sides extend and are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the lower side wall of the flip plate. The rotating shafts at the left and right ends of the right-side front and rear T-shaped fixing ears and the right... Synchronous pulleys are fixedly connected to the front and rear opposite rotating shafts on the inner side of the end. A first synchronous belt is fitted onto the front and rear synchronous pulleys on the left side of the same T-shaped fixing ear, and a second synchronous belt is fitted onto the front and rear opposite synchronous pulleys on the right side. The front and rear second synchronous belts are arranged downward along the inner wall edge of the front and rear side plates. The lower end of the second synchronous belt is fitted onto the synchronous pulley installed at the lower part of the inner wall edge of the side plate. The lower synchronous pulley is fixedly fitted onto the outward end of the connecting shaft. The middle of the connecting shaft is movably inserted into the fixing ear. The fixing ear is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the side plate. A gear is fixedly fitted onto the inward end of the connecting shaft. The gear meshes with the teeth of the rack fixedly installed on the upper front and rear sides of the left and right side walls of the flower box. The middle of the left and right connecting rods are respectively driven by the drive mechanisms installed on the left and right side walls and the bottom of the flower box.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, guide posts are fixedly connected to the upper edges of the middle of the front and rear outer side walls of the flower box, and vertical slots are opened in the middle of the side plates opposite to the front and rear guide posts, and the front and rear guide posts are flush with the surfaces of the front and rear side plates respectively.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper and lower edges of the middle part of the left and right outer side walls of the flower box are respectively fixed to the upper and lower ends of the U-shaped protective cover, and the lower edge of the U-shaped protective cover is provided with a clearance notch; by using the U-shaped protective cover, it is easy to connect with the posts of the guardrails on both sides, and the clearance notch at its lower end is convenient for the lead rods on both sides to make way.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sum of the front and rear widths of the front and rear flip plates is greater than the width of the flower box, and the opposite ends of the front and rear flip plates are respectively provided with inclined surfaces; this design of the front and rear flip plates allows the upper parts of the front and rear flip plates to be together around the side wall, forming inclined surfaces that facilitate the smooth sliding of rain and snow.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a lead screw disposed in the middle of the left and right side walls of the flower box. The upper and lower ends of the lead screw are respectively fitted into upper and lower rotating shaft fixing ears, which are fixed to the side walls of the flower box. The lower ends of the left and right lead screws are respectively fixedly fitted with sprockets, which are connected by a chain located at the lower part of the flower box. The lower end of the left lead screw is also fixedly fitted with a first bevel gear, the right edge of which meshes with the teeth of a second bevel gear. The second bevel gear is fixedly fitted onto the output shaft of a motor, and the motor is fixedly installed in a U-shaped fixing plate installed at the lower part of the flower box.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a lithium battery and an Internet of Things controller are also fixedly installed inside the U-shaped fixing plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By controlling the drive mechanism through an IoT controller, the left and right lead screws rotate simultaneously in the same direction, thereby causing the connecting rods on the outer surfaces of the left and right sides of the flower box to move upwards simultaneously. This causes the front and rear side plates and the flip-up plates folded on the outer sides of the side walls to move upwards. When the gears at the lower front and rear of the right edge of the side plate simultaneously contact the racks at the front and rear of the right side wall of the flower box, the racks cause the front and rear gears to rotate simultaneously. The front gear rotates clockwise, causing the front flip-up plate to rotate clockwise around the front side plate, and the rear gear rotates counterclockwise, causing the rear flip-up plate to rotate counterclockwise around the rear side plate. This achieves relative rotation of the front and rear flip-up plates, ultimately allowing them to fit together to form a front-and-rear inclined roof structure. This shelters the flowers and plants inside the flower box, preventing the impact of heavy rain and snow on them. This improves the remote maintenance capability of the flower box-equipped isolation fence and reduces the cost of repeated investment in flowers and plants. Attached Figure Description

The front and rear side walls of the flower box 2 are respectively provided with covering mechanisms 3. The covering mechanism 3 includes side plates 31 movably disposed on the front and rear side walls of the flower box. Notches 311 are respectively opened at both ends of the upper side walls of the front and rear side plates 31. The two opposite corners of the lower ends of the front and rear side plates 31 are respectively fixedly connected by connecting rods 312. T-shaped fixing ears 32 are installed in the notches 311. The front and rear ends of the T-shaped fixing ears 32 are respectively rotatably inserted with rotating shafts 33. The inward end of the rotating shafts 33 on the left and right sides of the front and rear outer sides extends and is fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the lower side wall of the flip plate 313. The front of the front and rear flip plates 313... The sum of the widths of the front and rear plates is greater than the width of the flower box 2. Inclined surfaces are respectively opened at opposite ends of the front and rear flip plates 313. A vertical slot 314 is opened in the middle of the side plate 31 directly opposite the front and rear guide posts 22. Synchronous pulleys 34 are fixedly connected to the left and right-side inner front and rear rotating shafts of the right-side T-shaped fixing ears 32. A first synchronous belt 35 is fitted onto the left-side front and rear synchronous pulleys 34 of the same T-shaped fixing ear 32, and a second synchronous belt 36 is fitted onto the right-side front and rear synchronous pulleys 34. The front and rear second synchronous belts 36 extend along the inner wall edges of the front and rear side plates. The lower end of the second synchronous belt 36 is fitted onto the synchronous pulley 34 installed on the lower edge of the inner wall of the side plate. The lower synchronous pulley 34 is fixedly fitted onto the outward end of the connecting shaft 37. The middle of the connecting shaft 37 is movably inserted into the fixing ear 38, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the side plate. The inward end of the connecting shaft 37 is fixedly fitted with a gear 39. The gear 39 meshes with the teeth of the rack 4 fixedly installed on the upper front and rear sides of the left and right side walls of the flower box 2. The middle of the left and right connecting rods 312 are respectively driven by the drive mechanism 5 installed on the left and right side walls and the bottom of the flower box 2.The drive mechanism 5 includes a lead screw 51 disposed in the middle of the left and right side walls of the flower box. The upper and lower ends of the lead screw 51 are respectively fitted into upper and lower rotating shaft fixing ears 52, which are fixed to the side walls of the flower box. Sprockets 53 are fixedly fitted onto the lower ends of the left and right lead screws 51, and the left and right sprockets 53 are connected by a chain 54 located at the lower part of the flower box. A first bevel gear 55 is also fixedly fitted onto the lower end of the left lead screw 51. The right edge of the first bevel gear 55 meshes with the teeth of a second bevel gear 56. The second bevel gear 56 is fixedly fitted onto the output shaft of a motor 57. The motor 57 is fixedly installed in a U-shaped fixing plate 58 installed at the lower part of the flower box. A lithium battery 6 and an IoT controller 7 are also fixedly installed in the U-shaped fixing plate 58. The lithium battery 6 is electrically connected to the motor 57 and the IoT controller 6.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the smart city platform monitors the arrival of rain or snow and remotely controls the IoT controller 7 to control the drive mechanism 5. The drive mechanism 5 controls the motor 57 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 56. The second bevel gear 56 drives the first bevel gear 55, which in turn drives the left lead screw 51. Through the mechanical transmission of the left and right sprockets 53 and chains 54, the left and right lead screws 51 rotate simultaneously in the same direction. This causes the connecting rods 312 on the left and right outer walls of the flower box 2 to move upwards simultaneously, thus moving the front and rear side plates 31 and the folding mechanism. As the flip plate 313 on the outer side wall of the side plate 31 moves upward, when the gears 39 at the lower front and rear of the right edge of the side plate 31 simultaneously contact the racks 4 at the front and rear of the right side wall of the flower box 2, the racks 4 cause the gears 39 to rotate simultaneously. The front gear 39 rotates clockwise, causing the front flip plate 313 to rotate clockwise around the front side plate 31, and the rear gear 39 rotates counterclockwise, causing the rear flip plate 313 to rotate counterclockwise around the rear side plate 31. This allows the front and rear flip plates 313 to rotate relative to each other, eventually fitting together to form a roof structure that tilts forward and backward, thus covering the flowers and plants inside the flower box 2.
