Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor metal signage technology, specifically an outdoor metal signage with a folding structure. Background Technology
[0002] Metal signs are made from metals such as copper, iron, aluminum, zinc alloy, titanium, and stainless steel, using processes like stamping, die casting, etching, printing, enamel, imitation enamel, baking paint, epoxy resin coating, and electroplating. They come in a wide variety of types and forms. Functionally, they can be categorized as directional signs, warning signs, information signs, and advertising signs. Outdoor metal signs are typically used to provide directional guidance, safety warnings, and location signage, playing a vital role in urban management, construction, and safety information provision.
[0003] Existing metal signs have a relatively simple function and are not convenient to fold and store, especially when used as safety signs, which often need to be moved and transported. Furthermore, unfolded metal signs are large in size and occupy a large area, which can easily affect the convenience of moving and transporting outdoor metal signs.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we propose an outdoor metal sign with a folding structure. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0023] Example: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, an outdoor metal sign with a folding structure in this embodiment includes a first sign 1 and a second sign 2, the tops of the first sign 1 and the second sign 2 are hinged; a support assembly is used to support and fix the first sign 1 and the second sign 2, the support assembly includes a first bracket 3 and a second bracket 4, the first bracket 3 and the second bracket 4 are inserted into each other;
[0024] The lighting components consist of two sets, which are respectively installed on the top of the first sign 1 and the second sign 2. The lighting components include a movable plate 9, and a lighting panel 10 is installed on the inner center of the movable plate 9. The lighting panel 10 mainly serves the purpose of illumination, so that the first sign 1 and the second sign 2 can be used in low light or at night.
[0025] In some examples, the lighting assembly also includes a storage slot 11, with a movable plate 9 movably mounted in the inner center of the storage slot 11. A magnetic strip 12 is embedded in the inner center of the storage slot 11, and the magnetic strip 12 is magnetically connected to the back of the movable plate 9. The movable plate 9 can be stored through the storage slot 11, and the movable plate 9 can be magnetically fixed through the magnetic strip 12, thereby enhancing the stability of the movable plate 9 when it is stored.
[0026] In some examples, the first bracket 3 is located at the bottom back of the first sign 1, and the second bracket 4 is located at the bottom back of the second sign 2. The end of the first bracket 3 is provided with a limiting block 6, and the upper side of the end of the second bracket 4 is provided with a limiting hole 5. The limiting block 6 is inserted into the limiting hole 5 to lock the first bracket 3 and the second bracket 4, thereby enabling the first bracket 3 and the second bracket 4 to stably support the unfolded form of the first sign 1 and the second sign 2.
[0027] In some examples, the limiting block 6 is movably mounted on the upper end of the first bracket 3, and a spring 13 is provided at the middle of the bottom end of the limiting block 6.
[0028] In some examples, a first storage compartment 7 is provided in the center of the back of the first label 1, and a first bracket 3 is movably installed in the center of the inner side of the first storage compartment 7; a second storage compartment 8 is provided in the center of the back of the second label 2, and a second bracket 4 is movably installed in the center of the inner side of the second storage compartment 8. Rotating the first bracket 3 allows it to be inserted into the first storage compartment 7 for storage, and rotating the second bracket 4 allows it to be inserted into the second storage compartment 8. This facilitates the rotation of the first label 1 and the second label 2, allowing them to fit together, reducing the floor space occupied, and thus providing convenience for handling and storage.
[0029] In some examples, both the first support 3 and the second support 4 are designed with an "H" shape to enhance stability during support.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0031] The utility model provides an outdoor metal sign with a folding function. By folding the first sign 1 and the second sign 2, the volume is reduced, which makes it convenient for the handling and storage of the metal sign.
[0032] When in use, the staff needs to rotate the first sign 1 and the second sign 2 so that the first sign 1 and the second sign 2 are in a "V" shape unfolded. At this time, the staff can insert the end of the first bracket 3 into the second bracket 4, so that the limiting block 6 at the end of the first bracket 3 is inserted into the limiting hole 5 at the end of the second bracket 4 for limiting, so that the first bracket 3 and the second bracket 4 are fixedly connected, thereby achieving stable support and fixation for the first sign 1 and the second sign 2.
[0033] Conversely, by pressing the limiting block 6, the locking between the first bracket 3 and the second bracket 4 is released. Then, by driving the first bracket 3 and the second bracket 4, they are respectively put into the first storage compartment 7 and the second storage compartment 8. At this time, the first label 1 and the second label 2 can be folded in half, so that the unfolded "person" is folded together to form a "I" shape, reducing the volume and thus effectively reducing the floor space occupied, providing convenience for handling and storage.
[0034] In addition, the lighting components are set up so that the directional text on the first sign 1 and the second sign 2 can be illuminated, so that the first sign 1 and the second sign 2 can be used at night or in places with low light. During use, the staff needs to manually flip the movable plate 9 so that the movable plate 9 is in a vertical position above the first sign 1 and the second sign 2, at which time the lighting plate 10 can be used for lighting.
[0035] In addition, the storage slot 11 and magnetic strip 12 can stably store the lighting panel 10, providing convenience for handling the first sign 1 and the second sign 2 when they are in a folded storage state.
[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
