[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0024] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model provides a foldable ultra-thin road traffic countdown display, including a first plate 1 and a second plate 2 connected by hinges. A display light group 3 is integrated on one side (face) of both plates, and the face is concave. The protruding length of the light group does not exceed the plane of the side. So when the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are folded together along the hinge, the two faces fit together. The concave shape forms an inner cavity between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, which protects the display light group 3 after the plates are folded. An insertion part 4 is slidably provided on the other side (back) of the first plate 1. It has a strip block structure. A receiving part 5 is provided on one side and the other side (back) of the second plate 2. The two receiving parts 5 are respectively an annular hole and a slot.

[0026] The above describes the situation when the first segment 1 and the second segment 2 are coplanar, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, when the insertion part 4 slides into the receiving part 5 on the back of the second plate 2, it restricts the movement between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, keeping them in this state so that they are fully unfolded, thus keeping the display light group 3 fully unfolded, allowing for countdown display; Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, when the insertion part 4 is released from its current insertion state in the receiving part 5, and the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are folded together, and the insertion part 4 is inserted into the receiving part 5 located at the edge of the second plate 2, the folding state between the two is restricted, so that the two as a whole maintain a state of volume contraction, thereby facilitating transportation and carrying.

[0027] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 To maintain the stability of the lamp assembly when it is fully extended and displaying normally, a limiting part is also provided on the second plate 2. This provides sufficient stability between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 when they are extended. Specifically, the limiting part includes a first locking block 6, which is in the shape of a helical tooth block and is slidably disposed on the second plate 2. A spring plate 7 is also connected between the locking block 6 and the second plate 2. A limiting groove is constructed on the insertion part 4. Under the elastic resistance of the spring plate 7, the locking block 6 abuts against the insertion part 4. Thus, when the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are fully extended and the state is restricted, the end of the locking block 6 is located in the limiting groove, thereby restricting the movement of the insertion part 4. This allows the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 to be kept in a relatively stable fully extended state when the whole assembly is subjected to collision or shaking during operation. When it is necessary to close the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, the locking block 6 can be manually moved to disengage it from the limiting groove to maintain the movement of the insertion part 4.

[0028] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0029] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
