Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of signage technology and relates to a signboard. Background Technology

[0002] Signage is needed in many public places, such as traffic signs, billboards, and construction site safety warning signs. Signage has been widely used. In order to enable the same sign to display different content, modular signage has been introduced to the market. Modular signage can rotate and switch the display surfaces with different signage content. However, in the existing technology, the rotation switching of modular signage mostly adopts a rotating mechanism composed of electrodes and reducers. This rotating mechanism cannot guarantee the rotation angle during operation, and often results in the problem of the display surface being skewed.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent discloses a rotatable sign [application number: 201611230171.9], which includes a fixed cylinder, a sealing cover, a motor, a transmission shaft, a light-transmitting plate, a fluorescent lamp, an observation window, and a controller. The fixed cylinder is characterized by being mounted on a support, having a fixed plate inside the fixed cylinder, a bushing on the fixed plate, the sealing cover on the fixed cylinder, the motor inside the fixed cylinder, one end of the transmission shaft mounted on the motor, the light-transmitting plate connected to a connecting rod, the fluorescent lamp positioned between two fluorescent lamp holders, the observation window on the fixed cylinder, and the controller on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a sign.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A sign includes an outer shell with a display window on its side. A multi-sided signboard structure is also provided inside the outer shell. The multi-sided signboard structure includes four signboards arranged in a rectangle. The outer walls of each signboard have a display surface with signage content. The four signboards are fixed by a mounting bracket. A rotating shaft passes horizontally between the four signboards inside the outer shell. The mounting bracket is connected to the rotating shaft. A magnetic display surface switching mechanism is also provided between the outer shell and the multi-sided signboard structure.

[0007] In one of the aforementioned signboards, the magnetic display surface switching mechanism includes four electromagnet components respectively disposed at the center of the four signboards on the side away from the display surface, and an adsorption block made of magnetic material is disposed on the inner side wall of the outer shell on the side away from the display window.

[0008] In one of the aforementioned signboards, the adsorption block is located at the very center of the inner wall of the outer casing.

[0009] In one of the aforementioned signboards, the electromagnet assembly includes an electromagnet mounting frame fixed between a mounting frame and a signboard. The electromagnet mounting frame contains an electromagnet composed of an iron core and an induction coil, as well as a power supply electrically connected to the induction coil.

[0010] In one of the aforementioned signboards, the cross-section of the fixing frame is shaped like a grid.

[0011] In one of the aforementioned signboards, the rotating shaft is located at the center of the fixed frame, and the fixed frame and the rotating shaft are fixedly connected by several connecting rods.

[0012] In one of the aforementioned signage designs, a lighting mechanism is also provided within the outer casing.

[0013] In one of the aforementioned signage designs, the lighting mechanism includes an upper light source and a lower light source.

[0014] In one of the aforementioned signage types, the upper light source and the lower light source are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the multi-faceted signage structure and within the outer casing, on the side closest to the display window.

[0015] In one of the aforementioned signage designs, a transparent panel is provided within the display window.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The multi-faceted signboard structure, consisting of four rectangular signboards, can display up to four different signage contents. The magnetic display surface switching mechanism can rotate and switch the display surface corresponding to the display window in the multi-faceted signboard structure. The magnetic switching ensures that the display surface on the signboard is parallel to the display window after the switch is completed, preventing the display surface from tilting and improving the display quality.

[0018] 2. When it is necessary to switch the signboard used for display in the display window, simply open the electromagnet assembly on the back of the signboard on the opposite side. Through the magnetic attraction between the electromagnet assembly and the adsorption block, the signboard on the opposite side will rotate along the rotation axis to face the adsorption block, so that the signboard to be displayed is facing the display window. Since the adsorption block and the electromagnet assembly are located at the exact center of the inner wall of the outer shell and the center of the back of the signboard, respectively, when the adsorption block and the electromagnet assembly are in the magnetic attraction state, the display surface of the signboard facing the display window can remain completely parallel to the display window, which can effectively improve the display quality.

[0019] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be partly apparent from the following description, and partly understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of this invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sign includes an outer shell 1, a display window 2 on the side of the outer shell 1, and a multi-sided signboard structure 3 inside the outer shell 1. The multi-sided signboard structure 3 includes four signboards 4 arranged in a rectangle. The outer walls of the signboards 4 are provided with display surfaces 5 containing signage content. The four signboards 4 are fixed by a fixing frame 7. The outer shell 1 also has a rotating shaft 6 that passes horizontally between the four signboards 4. The fixing frame 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 6. A magnetic display surface switching mechanism 8 is also provided between the outer shell 1 and the multi-sided signboard structure 3.

[0024] In this utility model, the multi-faceted signboard structure 3, composed of four rectangular signboards 4, can be set with up to four different sign contents. The magnetic display surface switching mechanism 8 can rotate and switch the display surface in the multi-faceted signboard structure 3 corresponding to the display window. The magnetic switching can ensure that the display surface on the signboard is parallel to the display window after the switching is completed, preventing the display surface from being tilted and improving the display quality.

[0025] Specifically, the magnetic display surface switching mechanism 8 includes four electromagnet assemblies 9, each disposed at the center of the side of the four signboards 4 away from the display surface 5. An adsorption block 10 made of magnetic material is disposed on the inner wall of the outer casing 1 on the side away from the display window 2. When it is necessary to switch the signboard to be displayed in the display window, simply open the electromagnet assembly on the back of the signboard on the opposite side. Through the magnetic attraction between the electromagnet assembly and the adsorption block, the signboard on the opposite side will rotate along the rotation axis to face the adsorption block, thus making the signboard to be displayed directly facing the display window. Preferably, the adsorption block 10 is disposed at the exact center of the inner wall of the outer casing 1. Since the adsorption block 10 and the electromagnet assembly are located at the exact center of the inner wall of the outer casing 1 and the center of the back of the signboard 4, respectively, when the adsorption block 10 and the electromagnet assembly are in the magnetic attraction state, the display surface of the signboard facing the display window can remain completely parallel to the display window, effectively improving the display quality.

[0026] Specifically, when switching signboards, if the target rotation angle of the multi-sided signboard structure 3 is 180°, the electromagnet components on the adjacent side of the target signboard should be turned on first, so that the multi-sided signboard structure 3 rotates 90° first, and then the electromagnet components on the adjacent side of the target signboard should be turned on. In addition, during the switching process, after the electromagnet component corresponding to the target signboard is energized, the electromagnet component corresponding to the signboard to be switched should be de-energized immediately.

[0027] Specifically, the electromagnet assembly 9 includes an electromagnet mounting frame 11 fixed between the mounting frame 7 and the label plate 4. The electromagnet mounting frame 11 contains an electromagnet 14 composed of an iron core 12 and an induction coil 13, and a power supply electrically connected to the induction coil 13.

[0028] Specifically, the cross section of the fixed frame 7 is shaped like a grid, the rotating shaft 6 is located at the center of the fixed frame 7, and the fixed frame 7 and the rotating shaft 6 are fixedly connected by several connecting rods 15.

[0029] Preferably, the outer casing 1 is further provided with a lighting mechanism 16, which includes an upper light source 17 and a lower light source 18. The upper light source 17 and the lower light source 18 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the multi-faceted signboard structure 3 and located inside the outer casing 1 on the side closer to the display window 2. By using the upper light source and the lower light source, the display surface on the signboard at the display window can be illuminated and supplemented with light simultaneously.

[0030] Specifically, a transparent panel 19 is provided inside the display window 2.

[0031] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0032] Although this article frequently uses terms such as outer shell 1, display window 2, multi-faceted signboard structure 3, signboard 4, display surface 5, rotating shaft 6, fixing frame 7, magnetic display surface switching mechanism 8, electromagnet assembly 9, adsorption block 10, electromagnet mounting frame 11, iron core 12, induction coil 13, electromagnet 14, connecting rod 15, lighting mechanism 16, upper light source 17, lower light source 18, transparent panel 19, etc., these terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any kind of additional limitation would be contrary to the spirit of this utility model.
