[0002] Emergency signs are essential facilities for ensuring the safety of people and guiding emergency evacuation in daily life and various public places.
[0003] However, most emergency signs on the market have certain limitations in terms of waterproof performance. Traditional emergency signs usually use simple sealing methods to prevent water from entering, but this method is prone to failure due to aging, damage or external impact of the seals during long-term use. When encountering rain, humid air or accidental immersion, water can easily seep into the sign, which may lead to problems such as short circuits, damage to electronic components, and failure of indication function.
[0004] Furthermore, in actual use environments, emergency signs are often exposed to various dust, dirt, and other pollutants. Over time, these contaminants can affect the visibility of the signs and reduce their guiding effect. Existing emergency signs require regular manual cleaning and maintenance, which is not only costly in terms of manpower and resources, but may also fail to ensure the clear visibility of the signs in an emergency.
[0005] Therefore, we propose an emergency sign with waterproof functionality. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example
[0033] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an emergency sign with waterproof function, including a sign shell 1, a self-cleaning mechanism, and a vent waterproof structure. The self-cleaning mechanism is installed on the front of the sign shell 1, and the waterproof structure is located on the right side wall of the sign shell 1. A display interface 15 is provided at the center of the front of the sign shell 1. The self-cleaning mechanism includes a wiping seat 10, and a wiping cotton 11 is provided on the back side of the wiping seat 10. The vent waterproof structure is located on the right side wall of the sign shell 1. The waterproof structure includes an isolation cavity 12, and several waterproof holes 13 are provided on both sides of the isolation cavity 12. A water channel 14 is provided at the bottom of the isolation cavity 12.
[0034] The sign housing is equipped with a vent and waterproof structure. The side waterproofing adopts a double-sided inclined groove, and the water channel 14 in the middle can quickly guide the water entering the sign housing 1 to drain out. This design can effectively prevent water from accumulating inside the sign housing 1, and ensure the safety of internal circuits and electronic components even in long-term rain immersion or high humidity environment.
[0035] The back shell 17 of the sign housing 1 adopts a three-sided beveled rainwater guide plate 18 design, which allows water to slide off naturally and not accumulate on the surface. This not only reduces the risk of water seepage, but also avoids corrosion and damage caused by water residue, greatly extending the service life of the sign.
[0036] The self-cleaning mechanism on the front works in conjunction with the rain sensor 5 on the top to monitor the rainfall in the environment in real time. When rain or dust accumulates on the surface of the sign, the sensor will trigger the cleaning mechanism to wipe it automatically, ensuring that the outer surface of the sign shell 1 is always clean. This function not only improves the visibility of the sign, but also reduces the need for manual cleaning and lowers maintenance costs.
[0037] The top of the sign housing 1 is equipped with a rainwater collection box 2. The rainwater collection box 2 has a collection chamber 3 inside. The collection chamber 3 has a filter screen 4 inside and near the top. The rainwater collection box 2 has a rain sensor 5 inside. The rainwater collection box 2 and the top of the sign housing 1 are fixedly connected. The filter screen 4 is connected to the rainwater collection box 2 by bolts. The rain sensor 5 works in conjunction with the self-cleaning mechanism.
[0038] The rainwater collection box 2, located at the top of the sign housing 1, has a collection chamber 3 with a certain volume, capable of collecting a certain amount of rainwater. A filter screen 4 is installed near the top of the collection chamber 3. The filter screen 4 can be made of durable stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and filtration effect. The filter screen 4 is connected to the rainwater collection box 2 by sturdy bolts. This connection method is not only firm and reliable, but also easy to disassemble and clean when needed, ensuring that the filter screen 4 always maintains good filtration performance. The rainwater collection box 2 and the top of the sign housing 1 are fixedly connected by a combination of welding and sealant, ensuring the connection is firm and airtight, preventing rainwater from seeping into the interior of the sign.
[0039] The front of the sign housing 1 and above the display interface 15 is provided with a mounting groove 6. The self-cleaning mechanism also includes a lead screw 7. The input end of the lead screw 7 and the right side wall of the sign housing 1 are provided with a waterproof motor 8. The lead screw 7 is provided with a sliding block 9. The lead screw 7 is installed inside the mounting groove 6. The sliding block 9 can drive the lead screw 7 to rotate. The sliding block 9 can be displaced on the lead screw 7. The wiping cotton 11 is made of sponge.
[0040] The self-cleaning mechanism, installed on the front of the sign housing 1, is a key component ensuring the cleanliness of the sign surface. It mainly consists of a wiping seat 10 and a wiping cotton 11. The wiping cotton 11 is made of high-quality sponge material, possessing excellent water absorption and softness, effectively wiping away rainwater and dust from the sign surface without scratching it. A lead screw 7 is installed in the mounting groove 6 on the front of the sign housing 1, above the display interface 15. The inner wall of the mounting groove 6 is finely polished to ensure the installation accuracy and stability of the lead screw 7. The input end of the lead screw 7 is located on the right side wall of the sign housing 1 and is tightly connected to a waterproof motor 8. The waterproof motor 8 features a well-sealed waterproof design, enabling it to operate normally in humid environments and providing reliable power for the rotation of the lead screw 7. A sliding block 9 is provided on the lead screw 7. The sliding block 9 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, possessing excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The sliding block 9 can precisely move on the lead screw 7, thereby driving the wiping seat 10 and the wiping cotton 11 to thoroughly wipe the sign surface.
[0041] The opening angle of several waterproof holes 13 is 45°, and the waterproof holes 13 on both sides are mirrored. The interior of the sign housing 1 is provided with a display assembly 16, which works in conjunction with the display interface 15.
[0042] The waterproof structure is located on the right side wall of the sign housing 1 and is an important component to ensure the waterproof performance of the sign. It includes an isolation cavity 12. The internal space of the isolation cavity 12 is carefully designed to effectively guide the flow of water. Several waterproof holes 13 are opened on both sides of the isolation cavity 12. The opening angle of the waterproof holes 13 is 45° and the waterproof holes 13 on both sides are mirrored. This special design allows the water that enters to flow into the isolation cavity 12 quickly through the waterproof holes 13 without directly entering the interior of the sign. The edges of the waterproof holes 13 are sealed to prevent water from seeping in from the edges. A water channel 14 is provided at the bottom of the isolation cavity 12. The inner wall of the water channel 14 is smooth and has an inclined design, which can quickly guide water out and ensure the dryness of the interior of the sign.
[0043] A back side housing 17 is installed on the back side wall of the sign housing 1. The back side housing 17 and the sign housing 1 are connected to each other by a sealing ring and bolts. Rainwater guide plates 18 are integrally formed on the top and side walls of the back side housing 17.
[0044] A back side shell 17 is tightly installed on the back side wall of the sign housing 1. The back side shell 17 and the sign housing 1 are sealed by a high-quality sealing ring, and the connection is further secured by bolts. This double protection ensures the tightness of the connection and effectively prevents water from seeping in. Rainwater guide plates 18 are integrally formed on the top and side walls of the back side shell 17. The rainwater guide plates 18 are made of smooth plastic material and have good water resistance and self-cleaning properties. When rainwater falls on the back side shell 17, the rainwater guide plates 18 can quickly guide the rainwater to slide off and prevent rainwater from accumulating on the surface.
[0045] In summary, when the rain sensor 5 detects rain falling, its internal sensing element quickly converts the rain signal into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal to the waterproof motor 8 of the self-cleaning mechanism.
[0046] Upon receiving the signal, the waterproof motor 8 immediately activates its internal motor drive system. This system drives the lead screw 7 to rotate via a precision transmission device. The rotation speed and direction of the lead screw 7 can be intelligently adjusted according to the amount of rainfall and the cleaning requirements of the sign surface.
[0047] The rotation of the lead screw 7 causes the sliding block 9 to move precisely on the lead screw 7. The movement trajectory of the sliding block 9 is carefully designed to ensure that the wiping seat 10 and the wiping cotton 11 can thoroughly wipe the surface of the sign. Driven by the sliding block 9, the wiping seat 10 and the wiping cotton 11 wipe the surface of the sign with a certain pressure and speed, effectively cleaning rainwater and dust.
[0048] Meanwhile, the vent waterproof structure begins to function. When water enters the sign housing 1, the moisture first comes into contact with the waterproof hole 13. Due to the special design of the waterproof hole 13, the moisture can quickly flow into the isolation cavity 12. The moisture flowing into the isolation cavity 12 will be discharged to the outside along the water channel 14, ensuring that the inside of the sign is dry.
[0049] The rainwater guide plate 18 on the back side shell 17 also plays an important role. When rainwater falls on the back side shell 17, the rainwater guide plate 18 can quickly guide the rainwater to slide down, preventing water accumulation and seepage.
[0050] The rainwater collection box 2 also plays an important role in the whole process. It can collect a certain amount of rainwater to provide accurate rainfall information for the rain sensor 5. The filter screen 4 can filter impurities in the rainwater to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the sign and affecting the normal operation of the sign. The rain sensor 5 continuously monitors the rainfall and controls the operation of the self-cleaning mechanism as needed to ensure that the sign is always kept clean and in good working condition.
[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
