Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of highway maintenance technology, and in particular to a cone placement mechanism for highway maintenance construction operations. Background Technology
[0002] Traffic cones, also known as road barriers, are placed in the middle of roads, dangerous areas, and road construction sites. They are used to temporarily separate traffic flow, guide traffic, and direct vehicles to bypass dangerous sections of the road, in order to protect the safety of construction site facilities and personnel.
[0003] While there are currently dedicated vehicles for placing traffic cones, they are only designed for specific vehicles and cannot be flexibly disassembled and reassembled, and they are expensive, preventing widespread deployment. Although there are already many vehicle-mounted traffic cone placement machines on the market that can be flexibly disassembled and reassembled for various types of trucks, they still have the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1. In the process of use, the cones are often placed by hand. One person is responsible for disassembling and passing the stack of cones one by one, while another person is responsible for placing the cones one by one into the vehicle-mounted cone placement machine. This method has the disadvantages of being slow and labor-intensive, resulting in low work efficiency.
[0005] 2. Manual placement also results in uneven distribution of the cones on the road, and the stacking density cannot be guaranteed. If a mistake occurs, it is often necessary to stop or even reverse the vehicle to reposition them, which increases labor and transportation costs.
[0006] 3. In actual use, staff often need to be careful to avoid various unexpected road conditions. Road conditions vary greatly on different roads or at different times, and are highly dangerous, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cone placement mechanism for highway maintenance and construction operations.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] A highway maintenance construction cone placement mechanism includes: a first support frame, a second support frame, a horizontal bidirectional pushing component, and an up-and-down tilting component, wherein the horizontal bidirectional pushing component and the up-and-down tilting component are both connected between the first support frame and the second support frame.
[0010] Two sets of first fixed shafts and second fixed shafts are fixedly connected between the first support frame and the second support frame. The inner bottom and inner top of the first support frame and the second support frame are provided with slide rails, and the outer sides of the four sets of slide rails are slidably connected with racks.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The horizontal bidirectional pushing assembly includes two sets of rotating shafts. Support seats are fixedly connected to one side of the first support frame and the second support frame. The two sets of rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the outside of the two sets of support seats. A gear is fixedly connected to one end of each rotating shaft, and the gear meshes with a rack.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The horizontal bidirectional pushing component also includes a drive motor, which is fixedly connected to one side of the first support frame, and the output end of the drive motor is fixed to a set of the rotating shafts.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] Two sets of first support bars are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two sets of racks sliding on the top slide rails within the first and second support frames, and two sets of second support bars are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two sets of racks sliding on the bottom slide rails within the first and second support frames.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] The up-and-down tilting assembly includes a splitting plate and a support plate. A first loop-shaped swing arm is rotatably connected to one side of the splitting plate. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the first loop-shaped swing arm. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outside of a first fixed shaft. A second loop-shaped swing arm is rotatably connected to the outside of the second fixed shaft. Both the connecting rod and the second loop-shaped swing arm are rotatably connected to the outside of the support plate.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The up-and-down flipping assembly is provided in two sets. One set of the splitting plate is fixedly connected between the four sets of the first support bars, and the other set of the splitting plate is fixedly connected between the four sets of the second support bars.
[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0022] The cross-section of the splitting plate is trapezoidal, with one side thin and the other side thick. The thin side can be inserted into the gap between the cones, and the thickness increases as it moves, which can ensure that the cones stacked on top of each other can be separated.
[0023] The support plate is an arc-shaped plate, which can increase the support force and effectively avoid friction and collision with the split plate.
[0024] The cone placement mechanism for highway maintenance construction proposed in this invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] 1. This utility model can combine the two steps of "disassembling" and "transferring" the cone into one step, which saves work process, saves manpower, and improves work efficiency.
[0026] 2. This utility model enables the cones to be disassembled stably and at a uniform speed and put into the vehicle-mounted cone placement machine, avoiding manpower and transportation losses caused by errors, and saving manpower and transportation costs for highway maintenance.
[0027] 3. When placing cones, this utility model eliminates the need for workers to constantly lean out of the vehicle, ensuring their safety and reducing the risk of accidents; it also improves work efficiency while ensuring operational safety. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0037] like Figures 1-2 As shown, to facilitate operation of the highway maintenance construction cone placement mechanism, this solution provides a highway maintenance construction cone placement mechanism, including: a first support frame 101, a second support frame 102, a horizontal bidirectional pushing component, and a vertical tilting component. The horizontal bidirectional pushing component and the vertical tilting component are both connected between the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102. Two sets of first fixed shafts 103 and second fixed shafts 104 are fixedly connected between the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102. The inner bottom of the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102... The top and inner part are equipped with slide rails, and racks 206 are slidably connected to the outer sides of the four sets of slide rails; the horizontal bidirectional pushing assembly includes a rotating shaft 204 and a drive motor 201. Support seats are fixedly connected to one side of the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102. The two sets of rotating shafts 204 are respectively rotatably connected to the outer sides of the two sets of support seats. A gear 205 is fixedly connected to one end of the two sets of rotating shafts 204, and the gear 205 meshes with the rack 206; the drive motor 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the first support frame 101, and the output end of the drive motor 201 is fixed to one set of rotating shafts 204.
[0038] like Figures 2-5 As shown, in order to facilitate the operation of the cone placement mechanism for highway maintenance construction, the two sets of racks 206 sliding in the top slide rails of the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two sets of racks 206, and the two sets of racks 206 sliding in the bottom slide rails of the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two sets of racks 206.
[0039] like Figures 3-5As shown, to facilitate operation of the traffic cone placement mechanism for highway maintenance and construction, the up-and-down tilting assembly of this solution includes a splitting plate 301 and a support plate 310. A first loop-shaped swing arm 302 is rotatably connected to one side of the splitting plate 301, and a connecting rod 303 is rotatably connected to one end of the first loop-shaped swing arm 302. The connecting rod 303 is rotatably connected to the outside of the first fixed shaft 103, and a second loop-shaped swing arm 304 is rotatably connected to the outside of the second fixed shaft 104. Both the connecting rod 303 and the second loop-shaped swing arm 304 are rotatably connected to the outside of the support plate 310. The up-and-down tilting assembly of this solution has two sets: one set of splitting plates 301 is fixedly connected between four sets of first support bars 207, and the other set of splitting plates 301 is fixedly connected between four sets of second support bars 208. This enables the splitting plates 301 to repeatedly split in the horizontal direction, keeping the horizontal height of the traffic cone constant, ensuring the stability of the cone, and preventing the cone from shaking.
[0040] like Figures 4-5 As shown, in order to facilitate the operation of the cone placement mechanism for highway maintenance construction, the splitting plate 301 in this solution is thin on one side and thick on the other. The thin side can be inserted into the gap between the cones, and the thickness increases continuously as it moves, so that the upper and lower cones move away from each other, which can ensure that the cones stacked together can be separated. The support plate 310 is an arc plate, which can increase the support force and effectively avoid friction and collision with the splitting plate 301.
[0041] This utility model has a simple structure, interconnected structure, and rich functions.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] When operators need to carry out highway maintenance work, they need to place the cones first. First, install this utility model on the top of the vehicle-mounted cone placement machine (existing technology, not described in detail here). The vehicle-mounted cone placement machine can place the traffic cones stably on the ground. When it is necessary to disassemble the traffic cones, simply place a stack of undisassembled cones in the center of the top of this utility model, start the drive motor 201, drive the rotating shaft 204 to rotate, the rotating shaft 204 drives the gear 205 to rotate, the gear 205 drives the upper and lower racks 206 to move simultaneously, and the two racks 206 drive the other two racks 206 to move simultaneously through the splitting plate 301.
[0044] When the rack 206 moves outward, it will drive the two sets of splitting plates 301 to move outward. The splitting plates 301 drive the first loop arm 302 to move. The first loop arm 302 drives the connecting rod 303 to rotate. The connecting rod 303 drives the support plate 310 to move upward and inward. When the splitting plate 301 moves to the outermost position, the cone falls onto the support plate 310. The support plate 310 can support the cone above.
[0045] When the rack 206 moves from the outermost side inward, it will drive the two sets of splitting plates 301 to move inward. The splitting plates 301 are inserted into the gap between the two cones. As the splitting plates 301 are continuously pushed in, their thickness increases, ensuring that the cones can be split apart. The splitting plates 301 drive the first loop arm 302 to move. The first loop arm 302 drives the connecting rod 303 to rotate. The connecting rod 303 drives the support plate 310 to move downward and outward, so that the split cones fall to the vehicle-mounted cone placement machine, thereby realizing the function of splitting and placing traffic cones of this utility model.
[0046] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control. The detailed description of known functions and components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. To ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
