Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of site navigation equipment, and in particular to a real-time navigation device for a site. Background Technology
[0002] In complex environments such as large shopping malls, airports, hospitals, and industrial parks, people often need to quickly and accurately locate their desired destinations. In emergencies, navigation devices can also help people quickly find emergency exits, safety passages, and important medical facilities, playing a significant role in emergency evacuation and security monitoring. Existing on-site navigation systems typically employ different methods for direction finding and navigation. Some venues, such as airports and shopping malls, install large navigation stations at each floor entrance or other prominent locations, while industrial parks often use directional markers or navigation posts to indicate different directions.
[0003] Because wayfinding equipment is usually fixed, people within the area cannot know their location at any time. When navigation is needed, they must find fixed directional signs or information stations. During long-distance navigation, users may forget the route or get lost, which can be inconvenient in practice. With the advancement of technology, more and more venues are beginning to use electronic navigation devices, utilizing the venue's full-coverage Wi-Fi or Bluetooth communication methods for positioning.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the facility typically sets up pick-up points at the entrance and exit, and provides several temporary storage areas for equipment to be returned by users within the facility. As a result, operators often need to provide guidance and assistance when users pick up or return equipment, which consumes a significant amount of manpower. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a real-time navigation device for a field, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An in-situ navigation device includes a housing and a fixed base. The housing contains a navigation component for positioning. A mounting block is provided on one side of the housing. The mounting block and the fixed base are detachably connected. The fixed base has a sliding groove. The two sides of the mounting block are slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove. A movable rod is provided on the wall of the sliding groove. The middle part of the movable rod is connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A groove is provided on the outer side of the fixed base. A locking component for locking the upper end of the movable rod is provided in the groove. A limiting rod is provided on the upper side of the movable rod. The limiting rod extends upward toward the mounting block. When the mounting block is located inside the fixed base, the limiting rod is located on the upper side of the mounting block.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the user inserts the mounting block into the groove of the fixed base. As the mounting block moves downward, the lower end of the movable rod will swing outward. As the mounting block is inserted, the upper end of the movable rod will move upward to the mounting block. When the mounting block is inserted to the bottom, the limiting rod will be above the mounting block, and at this time the movable rod is located inside the groove.

Users can clearly know the current battery status of the navigation device.
[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] 1. The user inserts the mounting block into the groove of the fixed base. As the mounting block moves downward, the lower end of the movable rod will swing outward. As the mounting block is inserted, the upper end of the movable rod will move upward to the mounting block. When the mounting block is inserted to the bottom, the limiting rod will be above the mounting block, and at this time the movable rod is located inside the groove. The movable rod is fixed by the snap-fit component, which effectively improves the placement stability of the navigation device and makes it easy for the user to pick up and put down.

[0026] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.
[0027] This application discloses a real-time navigation device for a field.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An in-situ navigation device includes a housing 1 and a fixed base 2. The housing 1 is equipped with a navigation component for positioning. A mounting block 11 is provided on one side of the housing 1. The mounting block 11 is detachably connected to the fixed base 2. The fixed base 2 is provided with a sliding groove. The two sides of the mounting block 11 are slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove. A movable rod 21 is provided on the wall of the sliding groove. The middle part of the movable rod 21 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A groove is provided on the outer side of the fixed base 2. A locking component for locking the upper end of the movable rod 21 is provided in the groove. A limiting rod 22 is provided on the upper side of the movable rod 21. The limiting rod 22 extends to the upper side of the mounting block 11. When the mounting block 11 is located inside the fixed base 2, the limiting rod 22 is located on the upper side of the mounting block 11. The user inserts the mounting block 11 into the groove of the fixed base 2. As the mounting block 11 moves downward, the lower end of the movable rod 21 will swing outward. As the mounting block 11 is inserted, the upper end of the movable rod 21 will move upward toward the mounting block 11. When the mounting block 11 is inserted to the bottom, the limiting rod 22 will be located above the mounting block 11, and at this time the movable rod 21 is located inside the groove. The movable rod 21 is fixed by the snap-fit assembly, which effectively improves the placement stability of the navigation device and makes it easy for the user to pick up and put down.
[0029] Since positioning and navigation technologies using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other methods are relatively mature and are existing technologies that have long been publicly available in this field, and are well-known to those skilled in the art, this article will not elaborate on navigation components.
[0030] Fixing the housing 1 solely with the limiting rod 22 may result in unstable fixing, potentially leading to equipment slippage and damage. To further enhance the fixing strength of the housing 1, a snap-fit assembly includes a button 41 switch 4, located below the fixed base 2. The spring button 41 includes a spring head 42 and a button 41. The upper end of the spring head 42 is located inside a groove, and the lower end of the movable rod 21 has a limiting groove that matches the spring head 42. When the lower end of the movable rod 21 swings into the groove, the lower part of the movable rod 21 will press against the spring head 42. When the movable rod 21 is fully inside the groove, the spring head 42 will enter the limiting groove, thus limiting the movable rod 21. When it is necessary to remove the movable rod 21, pressing the button 41 will retract the spring head 42, and the movable rod 21 will then be in a movable state.
[0031] Since button 41 and switch 4 are common switches, that is, they extend and retract by pressing, and can retract slightly when pressed, which is a common structure, the specific internal structure will not be described in detail in this article.
[0032] When certain fixed bases 2 within the site are damaged or malfunction, operators need to temporarily stop using those fixed bases 2. Therefore, it is necessary to seal off and warn the operators of the fixed bases 2. The housing 1 also includes a locking rod 3, which is located on the side of the limit rods 22 that are close to each other. The locking rod 3 includes a transfer block 31 and two gears 33. A rack is provided on the side of the gears 33 that are close to each other. The transfer block 31 is provided with a knob 34, which is located between the two gears 33. A gear 341 is provided on the lower side of the knob 34. The gear 341 is adapted to and meshes with the rack. A mounting block 32 is rotatably connected to one side of the transfer block 31. An insert is provided on the lower side of the end of the locking rod 3. The limit rod 22 is provided with a slot adapted to the insert. When in use, the mounting block 32 is located above the knob 34. A warning sign is provided on the upper side of the mounting block 32. When the fixed base 2 needs maintenance or is temporarily out of service, the operator turns the two movable rods 21 to the locked position, inserts the locking rod 3 into the slot, and rotates the knob 34 to move the two racks closer to each other, thereby locking the position between the two limit rods 22. After locking, the locking block 32 is turned above the knob 34 to indicate to the user that the device is under maintenance or should not be used.
[0033] To promptly alert the user whether the mounting block 11 is properly installed, thereby reducing the risk of the navigation device falling off due to improper placement, the mounting block 11 has a connection port on its lower side. The mounting base has a socket 23 that matches the connection port. A light source is located on the upward-facing side of the socket 23, and a proximity sensor is located on the upper side of the socket 23. The connection port includes a light guide port 112. An optical fiber is installed inside the mounting block 11, extending upwards. A light-diffusing plate is located on the upper side of the mounting block 11. When the navigation device is inserted into the fixed base 2, the connection port connects with the socket 23, triggering the proximity sensor. At this time, the optical fiber guides the light source from the socket 23 to the light-diffusing plate above. When the light-diffusing plate lights up, the navigation device has been fully inserted into the fixed base 2.
[0034] To facilitate convenient charging of the navigation device and enable users to recharge it within the factory area, the housing 1 includes a battery, and the connection port includes charging contacts 111. The light source has several different colors. The charging contacts 111 are used to charge the battery, and the socket 23 has a charging base 24 adapted to the charging contacts 111. When the base is inserted, the charging base 24 contacts the charging contacts 111, charging the battery inside the housing 1. Different charging currents result in different light effects emitted by the light source of the socket 23, which are then displayed through a light diffuser, allowing the user to clearly understand the current battery status of the navigation device.
[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
