[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] A multi-functional sign for airport landscaping design, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a support column 1 and a support rod 2. The support rod 2 is located above the support column 1, and its bottom end extends into the inner side of the support column 1 and is rotatably mounted. The support column 1 and the support rod 2 are foldable via a folding mechanism 5. The folding mechanism 5 includes a side cover 501. A movable slot for folding the support rod 2 is formed on the upper side of the support column 1. The side cover 501 is positioned opposite the movable slot and is a snap-fit ​​detachable structure. The support rod 2 is fastened to the support column 1 via a limiting member 504 and a supporting member 505 to limit the movement of the support rod 2. The angular position is adjusted flexibly by rotating the support column 1 and support rod 2 and by using the foldable structure of the folding mechanism 5. This allows operators to easily fold the support rod 2 when the sign needs to be replaced or maintained, avoiding the risks of climbing and significantly improving the safety and convenience of operation. At the same time, the tight connection between the limiting part 504 and the support part 505 ensures the stability of the support rod 2 in the unfolded state, resisting the influence of external factors such as wind, and ensuring the durability and accurate indication of the sign.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The side cover 501 is rotatably mounted to the support column 1 below. A padlock 502 is rotatably mounted on one side of the side cover 501. A hanging block is provided on one side of the support column 1, opposite to the position of the padlock 502. The side cover 501 is engaged with the support column 1 through the padlock 502 and the hanging block. The engagement of the padlock 502 and the hanging block provides a reliable safety guarantee for the folding mechanism 5, ensuring the stability of the sign during normal use and improving its structural stability. At the same time, the use of the padlock 502 also increases the convenience of operation. The operator can easily open or close the side cover 501 and fold or unfold the support rod 2 by simply operating the padlock.

[0031] See Figure 3 , Figure 4The limiting component 504 is spliced ​​with the supporting component 505, and a through groove is formed at the center of the spliced ​​structure. It is sleeved on the outside of the supporting rod 2. The limiting component 504 and the supporting component 505 are bolted to the supporting column 1, providing stable support and precise angle positioning for the supporting rod 2. This allows the supporting rod 2 to maintain a stable posture after being deployed, and it is not easy to shake or shift due to external factors. At the same time, the through groove design at the center of the spliced ​​structure allows the operator to easily adjust and fix the supporting rod 2 through the through groove, improving work efficiency.

[0032] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The limiting component 504 has a "U" shaped structure, and the support component 505 is supported between the inner wall of the support column 1 and the support rod 2, so that it can better fit the outer side of the support rod 2 and provide a stable limiting effect, preventing the support rod 2 from swaying radially after unfolding, thus ensuring the stability of the sign. At the same time, the support component 505 is supported between the inner wall of the support column 1 and the support rod 2, forming a stable support structure, which further enhances the load-bearing capacity of the support rod 2, enabling the sign to withstand greater wind force and other external forces, and ensuring its normal use in harsh environments.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A top cover 503 is fixedly installed on the lower outer side of the support rod 2. The top cover 503 covers the upper opening of the support column 1, and the area of ​​the top cover 503 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the support column 1. The top cover 503 provides effective cover for the upper opening of the support column 1, preventing the entry of rainwater, dust and other debris, protecting the folding mechanism 5 and other internal components from external environmental corrosion, and extending the service life of the sign. At the same time, the area of ​​the top cover 503 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the support column 1, which allows it to better cover the opening, enhances the sealing performance, improves not only the practicality of the sign, but also its aesthetics, making the sign look cleaner.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2Several signs 4 are installed on the outside of the support rod 2 via several detachable mechanisms 3. The detachable mechanism 3 includes an installation sleeve 301, which is fitted onto the outside of the support rod 2 and bolted to it. Several locking strips 302 are provided on the outside of the installation sleeve 301. The signs 4 are engaged with the installation sleeve 301 through the locking strips 302, making the installation and replacement of the signs 4 more convenient. The operator only needs to fix the installation sleeve 301 to the support rod 2 with bolts, and then engage the signs 4 with the installation sleeve 301 through the locking strips 302 to complete the installation of the signs 4. This avoids the complicated tools and cumbersome steps required for traditional sign installation, improving work efficiency. At the same time, the use of the detachable mechanism 3 also makes the replacement of the signs 4 more flexible. Different signs 4 can be replaced at any time according to actual needs to meet the indication needs in different scenarios.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A light 6 is installed at the top of the support rod 2. The power cord of the light 6 passes through the center of the support column 1 and the support rod 2 and is electrically connected to an external power source, providing nighttime lighting for the sign and enhancing its visibility at night or in low-light environments. This allows the sign to clearly display information at night, improving its usability. At the same time, the power cord of the light 6 passes through the center of the support column 1 and the support rod 2, making the power cord arrangement more concealed and neat, avoiding the safety hazards and aesthetic problems caused by exposed power cords.

[0037] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to replace the sign 4, firstly, the padlock 502 is released from the fastening of the hanging block. Then, the side cover 501 is rotated to one side to expose the inner side of the support column 1. Next, the limiting member 504 is removed to eliminate the limitation on the support rod 2, so that the support rod 2 is rotatable. After that, the operator rotates the support rod 2 to one side to realize the operation of folding down the support rod 2 with a higher height, so as to facilitate the subsequent replacement operation of the sign 4, avoid the situation of climbing, and improve the convenience and safety of the replacement operation of the sign 4.

[0038] The sign 4 is installed via a detachable mechanism 3. The installation sleeve 301 is fitted onto the outside of the support rod 2 and fixed with bolts. The clamping strip 302 enables quick insertion and replacement of the sign without the need for climbing.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the support column 1 and the support rod 2 are made of lightweight aluminum alloy, which makes it easy for operators to fold and retract them.
