Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic obstacle technology, specifically to a device for placing and retrieving traffic cones. Background Technology

[0002] When carrying out road maintenance on urban roads or highways, traffic cones need to be placed at certain intervals to prohibit passing vehicles and ensure the smooth progress of maintenance work. A Chinese utility model patent (CN216640359U) entitled "An Automatic Traffic Cone Placement Device" proposes a technical solution: an automatic traffic cone placement and retrieval device that enables the automatic placement and retrieval of traffic cones; this solves the safety problems caused by manual placement of traffic cones on roads and effectively protects the personal safety of operators. However, this technical solution has the following drawbacks: during placement and retrieval, the traffic cone is fitted onto the outer wall of the cone mold, and the movement of the cone mold is achieved by a swing arm. However, in practical applications, it is difficult to maintain effective fixation between the cone mold and the traffic cone. During the movement of the traffic cone fitted onto the outer wall of the cone mold, it is easy for the traffic cone to slip off, leading to placement or retrieval failure. Therefore, we propose a traffic cone placement and retrieval device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a traffic cone placement and retrieval device, including a placement and retrieval mechanism 1 and a guide mechanism 2. The placement and retrieval mechanism 1 and the guide mechanism 2 are set at a certain interval. The traffic cone can be placed on the ground or retrieved from the ground by the movement of the actuating end of the placement and retrieval mechanism 1 in different directions. The guide mechanism 2 works in cooperation with the placement and retrieval mechanism 1 to straighten the traffic cone from a tilted state when it is placed, and to tilt the vertical traffic cone when it is retrieved.

[0026] The placement and recycling mechanism 1 includes a card holder 11, which is shaped like a "Z". A mounting plate 12 is welded and fixed to the front end of the card holder 11. A drive motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 12. A rotating frame 14 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 13. Traffic cone placement frames 15 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the rotating frame 14. The traffic cone placement frames 15 at both ends are arranged opposite each other in different directions. By rotating the rotating frame 14, the traffic cone placement frames 15 at both ends are driven to move alternately to complete the placement or recycling of traffic cones. An electrical control box 16 is fixedly mounted on the top of the card holder 11. The electrical control box 16 is used for assembling a battery and a controller. The battery is used to power the electronic components in the device, and the controller is used to control the movement of the output end of the drive motor 13.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the traffic cone placement rack 15 includes a bottom frame 151, which is cross-shaped. The bottom frame 151 is welded and fixed to the end of the rotating frame 14. A support block 152 is welded and fixed to the center of the bottom frame 151, and a fixing cylinder 153 is welded and fixed to the top of the bottom frame 151. The fixing cylinder 153 is used for placing traffic cones. An infrared detection sensor 154 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support block 152. The infrared detection sensor 154 can detect whether the traffic cone is placed. When the traffic cone is placed in the designated position, the infrared detection sensor 154 sends an electrical signal to the controller that controls the drive motor 13 to drive the rotating frame 14 to move. An auxiliary fixing component 3 is assembled between the support block 152 and the fixing cylinder 153. By setting the auxiliary fixing component 3, the stability of the connection and fixation between the traffic cone and the fixing cylinder 153 can be enhanced, and the traffic cone is prevented from falling off prematurely during the rotation of the rotating frame 14, thereby affecting the straightening and placement effect of the guide mechanism 2 on the traffic cone.

[0028] The auxiliary fixing component 3 includes a fixing shaft 31, which is welded and fixed to the side wall of the support block 152. A telescopic shaft 32 is installed inside the fixing shaft 31, and the end of the telescopic shaft 32 is welded and fixed to the side wall of the anti-slip block 33. A spring 34 is installed between the telescopic shaft 32 and the fixing shaft 31. The spring 34 is used to support the anti-slip block 33. The anti-slip block 33 is slidably connected in a groove 35, which is opened on the side wall of the fixing cylinder 153. The number of anti-slip blocks 33 is at least four. The four anti-slip blocks 33 are evenly distributed in a circle around the center of the support block 152. After the traffic cone is placed on the outer side wall of the fixing cylinder 153, the anti-slip blocks 33 can fit against the inner wall of the traffic cone. The anti-slip blocks 33 are made of rubber material. By setting the anti-slip blocks 33, the friction between the fixing cylinder 153 and the inner wall of the traffic cone is strengthened, thereby strengthening the fixing effect of the fixing cylinder 153 on the traffic cone.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a handrail 4 is fixedly mounted at the rear end of the clip-on frame 11. The handrail 4 is used to support the operator when placing and picking up traffic cones, increasing the stability of the operator in the truck bed. The handrail 4 includes a fixed frame 41, which is fixedly connected to the clip-on frame 11 by a connecting block. An adjusting screw 42 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 41. A lifting block 43 is screwed to the outer side of the adjusting screw 42. A handwheel is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting screw 42, which facilitates the rotation of the adjusting screw 42. An assembly block 44 is inserted into the top of the fixed frame 41, which is symmetrically distributed around the adjusting screw 42 as the central axis. A connecting plate is welded and fixed between the lifting block 43 and the assembly block 44. A handrail 45 is welded and fixed to the top of the assembly block 44. By rotating the adjusting screw 42 by the handwheel, the lifting block 43 can drive the assembly block 44 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the handrail 45 to facilitate the use of the handrail 45 by operators of different heights.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the guide mechanism 2 includes a main frame 21. Clamping frames 22 are welded and fixed at the front and rear ends of the main frame 21. The main frame 21 can be fixed to the side wall of the truck bed by setting the clamping frames 22. The bottom of the main frame 21 is symmetrically welded and fixed with L-shaped assembly frames 23 at the front and rear. A guide frame 24 is welded and fixed between the two sets of assembly frames 23. A barrier frame 25 is welded and fixed at the rear ends of the two sets of assembly frames 23. The barrier frame 25 is used to separate the traffic cone from the fixed cylinder 153 when the traffic cone is placed.

[0031] The guide frame 24 is provided with a first arc-shaped part 241 and a second arc-shaped part 242. The first arc-shaped part 241 is vertically arranged and the second arc-shaped part 242 is horizontally arranged. The first arc-shaped part 241 is used to straighten the traffic cone during the placement of the traffic cone and the second arc-shaped part 242 is used to push the traffic cone over during the retrieval of the traffic cone.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamping frame 22 includes a clamping frame body 221. A clamping screw 222 is screwed to the side wall of the clamping frame body 221. A handwheel is welded and fixed to one end of the clamping screw 222. A clamping block 223 is rotatably connected to the other end of the clamping screw 222. A rubber pad is pasted and fixed to the side wall of the clamping block 223. By setting the rubber pad, the friction between the clamping block 223 and the vehicle body can be increased, thereby strengthening the clamping and fixing effect of the clamping block 223.

[0033] Working principle: Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The following describes the specific process of placing and collecting traffic cones using this device. First, the placement and collection mechanism 1 and the guide mechanism 2 are respectively engaged with the side wall of the truck bed according to the required distance. Then, the working state of the device is set. When placing the traffic cones, first as follows... Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, the traffic cone is placed on the traffic cone placement rack 15. At this time, the infrared detection sensor 154 inside the traffic cone placement rack 15 detects that the traffic cone is in place and sends feedback to the controller inside the control box 16. The controller then controls the drive motor 13 to rotate the rotating rack 14 180° clockwise. During the rotation, the blocking frame 25 of the guide mechanism 2 limits the bottom of the traffic cone, causing it to remain within the guide mechanism 2. Figure 8 As shown in the diagram, as the vehicle moves forward, the first arc-shaped portion 241 comes into contact with the traffic cone, causing the traffic cone to flip and straighten. Figure 9 The state shown;

[0034] When retrieving traffic cones, the device is first set to the retrieval state. The operator then rotates the rotating frame 14 to a vertical position. As the vehicle moves backward, the second arc-shaped part 242 first contacts the traffic cone. With the vehicle's movement, the second arc-shaped part 242 tilts the traffic cone to a tilted position and attaches it to the outer end of the traffic cone placement frame 15. At this point, the infrared detection sensor 154 detects the engagement between the traffic cone and the placement frame 15 and sends feedback to the controller in the control box 16. The controller then controls the rotating frame 14 to rotate the traffic cone placement frame 15 90° counterclockwise, thus aligning it with the traffic cone placement frame 15. Figure 7In the state shown, after the operator picks up the traffic cone, the infrared detection sensor 154 sends an electrical signal to the controller again, causing the controller to rotate the traffic cone placement rack 15 90° counterclockwise again, so that it is in a vertical state again, and then the subsequent traffic cones are collected in sequence.

[0035] During the placement or retrieval of traffic cones, operators can adjust the handrail 4 according to their own height. The adjustment process is simple and convenient. When placing or picking up traffic cones, one hand can hold the handrail 45 and operate with the other hand, which increases the stability of the operator in the truck bed during vehicle movement.
