[0002] Road signs use graphics, colors, and text to manage traffic and indicate driving directions. They are an indispensable facility in traffic management, ensuring smooth traffic flow, driving safety, and efficiency. They are widely used on highways, urban roads, and special-purpose roads.
[0003] Traditional road signs are a single piece of structure. Large road signs with a single structure are bulky, making them inconvenient to handle, move, stack, load, and transport. The installation process requires large equipment for hoisting, making installation, disassembly, replacement, and maintenance difficult. Strong winds can easily cause road signs to tip over. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention provides a modular road sign that is easy to transport and convenient to assemble and install on site.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] This utility model discloses an assembled road sign, including a post and a sign. The post includes two opposing I-beams. The sign is composed of multiple horizontal panels assembled sequentially from top to bottom. The left and right ends of each horizontal panel are respectively mounted on the two I-beams. Ribs facing away from the front of each horizontal panel are provided at the top and bottom ends. Adjacent ribs of two adjacent horizontal panels are fitted together, and adjacent ribs are fitted with U-shaped clips, which engage with each other. Between the two arms, one arm of the U-shaped clip has a first screw hole, and the first screw hole is threaded to connect a first bolt. The back of the horizontal plate is provided with a mounting groove with a tapered opening along its length. A second bolt is provided in the mounting groove. The outer diameter of the bolt head of the second bolt is larger than the width of the mounting groove. A C-shaped clip is provided in the opening of the mounting groove. The C-shaped clip has a first through hole that mates with the second bolt. The bolt of the second bolt passes through the opening of the mounting groove and the first through hole and is fixedly connected to a nut.
[0007] Furthermore, the lower end of the I-beam column facing the horizontal dividing plate has a horizontal cut, and a connecting plate is provided in the horizontal cut. The flange plate of the I-beam column near the horizontal cut has corresponding second through holes above and below, and the upper and lower ends of the connecting plate have corresponding second through holes. The second through holes are provided with third bolts, and the third bolts pass through the corresponding second through holes of the connecting plate and the flange plate and are fixedly connected with nuts.
[0008] Furthermore, a baffle parallel to the horizontal dividing plate is provided at the other end of the rib away from the horizontal dividing plate, and the baffle is arranged in a direction close to the horizontal dividing plate.
[0009] Furthermore, sealing plates are respectively provided at the ends of the two walls of the mounting groove near the groove opening. The sealing plates are arranged along the length of the mounting groove, and the sealing plates on the two walls of the mounting groove are arranged close to each other. The distance between the two sealing plates is smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt head of the second bolt.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This application provides a modular road sign composed of multiple horizontal panels. These panels are prefabricated in a factory, dividing the large road sign into smaller sections for easier transport and stacking on vehicles to the installation site. On-site assembly involves placing two parallel I-beam columns, then placing the horizontal panels back-to-back on the columns. The panels are then positioned in the installation area, with adjacent ribs of adjacent panels aligned. U-shaped clips are then secured to the aligned ribs, and the first bolt is tightened until its thread abuts against the corresponding rib. The horizontal panels are then fixed to form the complete road sign. Fine-tuning is performed to align the horizontal panels perpendicular to the I-beam columns. Second bolts are inserted from both ends into the mounting slots, moving to the flanges of the I-beam columns. The opening of the C-shaped clip faces the second bolt, and the first through hole of the C-shaped clip passes through the thread and nut of the second bolt. The connection involves one arm of the C-shaped clamp located on the mounting groove, and the other arm of the C-shaped clamp located on the flange plate of the I-beam column. Tightening the nuts presses the two arms of the C-shaped clamp firmly onto the mounting groove and the flange plate of the I-beam column, thus fixing the horizontal crossbar onto the I-beam column. Once the horizontal crossbar and I-beam column are installed, a crane is used to erect and securely install the I-beam column at the construction site, completing the road sign installation. On-site assembly requires no welding; assembly is quickly completed using only U-shaped clamps, C-shaped clamps, the first bolt, and the second bolt. Installation and disassembly are convenient, facilitating future replacement and maintenance. Replacement only requires replacing the damaged horizontal crossbar; complete disassembly is unnecessary, making it extremely convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a modular road sign, including a post and a sign. The post includes two opposing H-beam posts 1. The sign is composed of multiple horizontal panels 2 assembled sequentially from top to bottom. The left and right ends of each horizontal panel 2 are respectively mounted on the two H-beam posts 1. Ribs 3 facing away from the front of each horizontal panel 2 are provided at the top and bottom ends of each horizontal panel 2. The ribs 3 extend from one end to the other along the length of each horizontal panel 2. Adjacent ribs 3 of adjacent horizontal panels 2 are fitted together. Adjacent ribs 3 are provided with U-shaped clips 4, which are engaged between the two arms of the U-shaped clips 4. One arm of the U-shaped clip 4 has a first screw hole, which is threaded to a first bolt 7. The back of the horizontal dividing plate 2 has a mounting groove 5 extending along its length. The mounting groove 5 extends from one end to the other along the length of the horizontal dividing plate 2. A second bolt 9 is installed in the mounting groove 5. The outer diameter of the bolt head of the second bolt 9 is larger than the width of the groove in the mounting groove 5. A C-shaped clip 6 is installed in the groove of the mounting groove 5. The C-shaped clip 6 has a first through hole that mates with the second bolt 9. The bolt of the second bolt 9 passes through the groove of the mounting groove 5, the first through hole, and a nut that is threaded to the bolt of the second bolt 9 for a fixed connection. The rib plate 3, mounting groove 5, and horizontal dividing plate can be manufactured in a factory using an integrated molding process and then transported to the construction site for assembly. Multiple horizontal dividing plates 2 can be at least three, such as three, four, five, or more positive integers, depending on the size of the road sign. Larger road signs have more horizontal dividing plates 2, and smaller road signs have fewer. The installation groove 5, with its opening width smaller than its bottom width, gradually decreases in width from the bottom to the opening. At least two U-shaped clips 4 are used to secure the two adjacent horizontal partition plates 2 to their mating ribs 3. These clips are evenly distributed along the length of the horizontal partition plates 2, with the number selected based on the plate's length. For example, three U-shaped clips 4 may be used at the ends and middle of the ribs 3 to ensure a secure connection between adjacent horizontal partition plates 2. C-shaped clips 6 are installed on both sides of the connection between the I-beam column 1 and the horizontal partition plate 2 to ensure a secure connection. The U-shaped clips 4 and C-shaped clips 6 are steel structural components.
[0022] Based on the above structure, a modular road sign is constructed by splicing multiple horizontal panels 2. Multiple horizontal panels 2 are prefabricated in the factory, dividing the large road sign into smaller horizontal panels 2, facilitating the transport and stacking of the panels 2 onto vehicles for delivery to the installation site. On-site assembly involves placing two parallel I-beam columns 1, then placing the horizontal panels 2 back-to-back (with the back of the horizontal panel 2 opposite to the I-beam column 1) horizontally onto the two I-beam columns 1. The left end of the horizontal panel 2 is placed on one I-beam column 1, and the right end on the other. The installation position of the horizontal panels 2 is adjusted, and they are placed in the installation area. Adjacent horizontal panels 2 have adjacent ribs 3 that are aligned. Multiple U-shaped clips 4 are evenly fastened along the length of the ribs 3 onto the aligned ribs 3. Three U-shaped clips 4 are evenly fastened onto the mating ribs 3, with two clips 4 positioned near the ends of the ribs 3 and one clip 4 positioned at the center. The first bolts 7 of the U-shaped clips 4 are tightened sequentially until their threads abut against the corresponding ribs 3. The horizontal partition 2 is then installed and fixed to form the complete road sign. The horizontal partition 2 is finely adjusted to be perpendicular to the I-beam column 1. Second bolts 9 are inserted from both ends into the mounting grooves 5, with the outer diameter of the bolt head of the second bolt 9 being larger than the groove size of the mounting groove 5. The outer diameter of the screw of the second bolt 9 is smaller than the width of the groove of the mounting slot 5. The second bolt 9 is moved to the flange plate 101 of the I-beam column 1. The opening of the C-type clip 6 faces the second bolt 9. The first through hole of the C-type clip 6 passes through the screw of the second bolt 9 and connects with the nut. One arm of the C-type clip 6 is located on the mounting slot 5, and the other arm of the C-type clip 6 is located on the flange plate 101 of the I-beam column 1. The nuts corresponding to the second bolt 9 are tightened in sequence, and the two arms of the C-type clip 6 are pressed tightly against the mounting slot 5. The horizontal partition plate 2 is fixedly installed on the flange plate 101 of the I-beam column 1. After the horizontal partition plate 2 and the I-beam column 1 are installed, the I-beam column 1 is erected and stably installed at the construction point by a crane, thus completing the installation of the road sign. No welding is required during the on-site assembly process. Assembly is completed quickly using only U-shaped clips 4, C-shaped clips 6, first bolts 7, and second bolts 9. The installation and disassembly are convenient, which facilitates later replacement and maintenance. Moreover, when replacing, only the damaged horizontal partition plate 2 needs to be replaced, without the need for complete disassembly and replacement, which is very convenient.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the lower end of the I-beam column 1 facing the horizontal dividing plate 2 has a horizontal cut 13. A connecting plate 11 is provided in the horizontal cut 13. The flange plate 101 of the I-beam column 1 has corresponding second through holes above and below the horizontal cut 13, and at the upper and lower ends of the connecting plate 11. A third bolt 12 is provided in the second through hole. The third bolt 12 passes through the corresponding second through hole of the connecting plate 11 and the flange plate 101 and is fixedly connected to the nut that is threaded with the third bolt 12.
[0024] During strong winds, the transverse cut 13 disperses stress, reducing the rigid stress on the I-beam column 1, preventing the road sign from tipping over, and increasing the reliability of the road sign. Two second through holes are drilled in the left flange plate 101 of the I-beam column 1, located above and below the transverse cut 13. Two second through holes are drilled in the right flange plate 101 of the I-beam column 1, located above and below the transverse cut 13. Four corresponding second through holes are drilled in the connecting plate 11, and four third bolts 12 pass through the corresponding through holes and are threadedly connected to nuts.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a baffle 8 parallel to the horizontal dividing plate 2 is provided at the other end of the rib plate 3 away from the horizontal dividing plate 2, and the baffle 8 is arranged in the direction close to the horizontal dividing plate 2.
[0026] The baffle 8 limits the screw of the first bolt 7, preventing the first bolt 7 from slipping off the rib 3, and further ensuring that the two adjacent horizontal plates 2 are securely joined. The other arm of the U-shaped clip 4 opposite to the first screw hole has a protrusion, which prevents the U-shaped clip 4 from slipping off the rib 3, and further ensures that the two adjacent horizontal plates 2 are securely joined.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, sealing plates 10 are respectively provided on the two groove walls of the mounting groove 5 near the groove opening. The sealing plates 10 are arranged along the length direction of the mounting groove 5. The sealing plates 10 on the two groove walls of the mounting groove 5 are arranged close to each other. The distance between the two sealing plates 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt head of the second bolt 9.
[0028] The sealing plate 10, which is set opposite to each other, seals the mounting groove 5 and limits the bolt head of the second bolt 9 to prevent the bolt head of the second bolt 9 from sliding out of the groove of the mounting groove 5.
[0029] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
