Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of directional sign repair equipment, and more specifically, to a temporary support structure for after-sales repair of directional signs. Background Technology
[0002] Compared to indoor directional signs, outdoor directional signs are more susceptible to damage due to prolonged exposure to the changing and complex external environment. In addition, currently, besides rectangular vertical directional signs, most scenic spots often design and use diamond-shaped or irregularly shaped directional signs for aesthetic reasons and to attract tourists, highlighting their uniqueness and matching the theme of the scenic spot. These diamond-shaped or irregularly shaped directional signs are also more susceptible to damage than traditional rectangular vertical directional signs.
[0003] In the existing technology, the after-sales repair of damaged directional signs is generally carried out by workers directly using tools. During the repair process, it is necessary to help support the directional signs, which results in high labor costs. Moreover, for directional signs that are heavy or tall, manual support is not stable enough and also poses safety risks. Therefore, it is necessary to design a temporary support structure specifically for after-sales repair. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a temporary support structure for after-sales maintenance of directional signs. This temporary support structure can flexibly adjust the angle of the windbreak according to the wind direction on site, and at the same time, the support components can support and stabilize the diamond-shaped directional signs. One person can complete the maintenance work, saving labor maintenance costs and improving the safety of maintenance work.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A temporary support structure for after-sales maintenance of a directional sign includes a directional sign composed of diamond-shaped unit plates. Directional markers are located at the corners of the directional sign. A temporary support is located on the rear side of the directional sign. The temporary support includes a horizontal support and a vertical support. The horizontal support consists of two parts, one longer and one shorter, connected by two parallel telescopic shafts. The longer horizontal support part is fitted with a vertical support via a pivot on its outer side. The vertical support includes a telescopic section and a non-telescopic section. The non-telescopic section is limited by locking bolts on its outer side to the telescopic section. A pressure plate is connected forward to the upper end of the telescopic section of the vertical support via a pivot. The inner side of the pressure plate presses against the upper edge of the directional sign. Tightening nuts are located on the outer side of each pivot.
[0007] As a further optimization of this solution, forward connecting rods are fitted on both sides of the horizontal support. The rear end of the connecting rod passes downward through the support rod. A stabilizing seat is installed at the bottom of the support rod. An L-shaped clamping plate is fitted on the front end of the connecting rod. The clamping plate is clamped to the diamond-shaped edge positions on both sides of the guide sign. Tightening nuts and washers are respectively provided on the connecting rods before and after the clamping plate.
[0008] As a further optimization of this solution, a sleeve is installed on the support rod by locking bolts. A telescopic connecting rod is connected to the outer side of the sleeve. An upward-facing insertion post is provided on the upper surface of the telescopic section at the outer end of the telescopic connecting rod. A hanging hole is embedded inside the insertion post, and a wind baffle is welded and fixed to the outside of the hanging hole.
[0009] As a further optimization of this solution, the height of the connecting rod above is limited by the locking bolt on the rear side of the support rod.
[0010] As a further optimization of this solution, the horizontal support is tilted at a certain angle so that the card plates are respectively attached to the sides of the diamond-shaped unit plates below the guide sign.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This invention utilizes a horizontal and vertical support structure, combined with a pressure plate and side clamping plates, to provide temporary support for the upper and sides of the guide sign composed of rhomboid unit panels. The support offers good stability, and one person can complete the maintenance work after installing the support, saving labor costs and improving safety. Furthermore, the windbreak structure is connected by a telescopic linkage, allowing for flexible adjustment of the windbreak angle based on the wind direction, further enhancing the safety of the maintenance operation.

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0018] To address the current issue that after-sales repair of damaged directional signs typically involves workers directly using tools, which requires assistance to support the signs during the repair process, resulting in high labor costs, and for heavy or tall signs, manual support is not stable enough and also poses safety risks.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this application includes a directional sign composed of rhomboid unit panels 1, with directional markers 2 at the corners of the directional sign and a temporary support at the rear of the directional sign.
[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the temporary support includes a horizontal support 5 and a vertical support 7. The horizontal support 5 consists of two parts, one long and one short, connected by two parallel telescopic shafts 6. The outer side of the longer horizontal support 5 is fitted with a vertical support 7 via a pivot. The vertical support 7 includes a telescopic section and a non-telescopic section. The non-telescopic section is limited by a locking bolt 8 on its outer side. The upper end of the telescopic section of the vertical support 7 is connected to a pressure plate 10 via a pivot. The inner side of the pressure plate 10 is pressed against the upper edge of the guide sign. Tightening nuts 9 are provided on the outer side of the pivot.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the horizontal support 5 are fitted with forward connecting rods 11. The rear end of the connecting rod 11 passes downward through the support rod 3. A stabilizing seat is installed at the bottom of the support rod 3. The front end of the connecting rod 11 is fitted with a clamping plate 12 with an L-shaped cross section. The clamping plate 12 is clamped to the diamond-shaped edge positions on both sides of the guide sign. Tightening nuts 9 and washers 13 are respectively provided on the connecting rod 11 before and after the clamping plate 12.
[0022] A sleeve 14 is installed on the support rod 3 by locking bolt 8. A telescopic connecting rod 15 is connected to the outer side of the sleeve 14. An upward insert post 16 is provided on the upper surface of the telescopic section at the outer end of the telescopic connecting rod 15. A hanging hole 17 is embedded inside the insert post 16. A wind baffle 4 is welded and fixed to the outside of the hanging hole 17. The height of the upper connecting rod 11 is limited on the support rod 3 by locking bolt 8 on the rear side.
[0023] Specifically, when using the temporary support structure of this application, firstly, based on the width of the two sides below the guide sign, adjust the width of the horizontal support 5 through the telescopic shaft 6, tilt the horizontal support 5, and limit the height of the horizontal support 5 through the locking bolts 8 on the outer side of the connecting rods 11 on both sides, so that the two side plates 12 are respectively clamped onto the sides of the diamond-shaped unit plates 1 below the guide sign and secured by the locking bolts 8. At this time, the telescopic shaft 6 is extended. Next, based on the height above the guide sign, adjust the length of the vertical support 7, so that the inner side of the upper pressure plate 10 presses against the upper edge of the guide sign and is fixed in this position by tightening the nut 9. Finally, the position of the outer wind deflector 4 can be adjusted through the sleeve 14. The position of the wind deflector 4 is determined according to the specific wind direction on site. The wind deflector 4 is directly embedded into the insert 16 through the inner hanging hole 17. The sleeve 14 can be installed on the support rods 3 on both sides to accommodate different on-site wind directions. After the temporary support is installed, after-sales maintenance personnel can repair and repair the damaged guide sign area inside the wind deflector 4.
