Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of road maintenance equipment and relates to a telescopic roller conveying device for traffic cones. Background Technology
[0002] Traditionally, these traffic cones were laid and retrieved by hand; an operator sat in the back of a vehicle carrying the cones. To lay the cones, the operator leaned against the edge of the vehicle and placed the cones in the desired positions and configurations. The cones were typically arranged in a tapered shape to gradually close lanes or divert traffic from one section of a lane to another. While creating the “taper,” the operator was often forced to walk on the road surface, which can be understood as labor-intensive, slow, and sometimes dangerous.
[0003] Therefore, people designed automatic placement and retrieval equipment for traffic cones. This type of equipment is integrated into vehicles, and the traffic cones are stored inside the carriage. Due to the limited space inside the carriage, in order to place as many traffic cones as possible, several storage tracks are usually arranged side by side inside the carriage. However, there is still a large distance between the storage tracks and the splitting mechanism suspended at the rear of the carriage, so the traffic cones cannot be accurately and reliably put into the splitting mechanism. Therefore, our unit has improved the equipment for storing traffic cones inside the carriage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model designs a telescopic roller conveyor device for storing traffic cones, which is installed inside a vehicle.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0028] In this invention, terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are used not to represent specific quantities or orders, but merely to distinguish names.
[0029] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a road cone telescopic roller conveying device includes a roller conveying unit 1, characterized in that it further includes a telescopic base plate 2 connected to the ground of the vehicle body. A set of telescopic guide rails 20 are symmetrically arranged along the length direction on the telescopic base plate 2. A set of telescopic sliders 21 are provided on the telescopic guide rails 20. The roller conveying unit 1 is fixedly connected to the telescopic sliders 21. An installation plate 22 is provided on the telescopic base plate 2 between two telescopic sliders 21. A telescopic drive unit 23 is fixed on the installation plate 22, and the output end of the telescopic drive unit 23 is connected to one of the telescopic sliders 21.
[0030] This invention improves the roller conveyor device for storing traffic cones. A telescopic assembly, including a telescopic base plate, telescopic guide rail, telescopic slider, and telescopic drive unit, is installed below the roller conveyor device. Since the roller conveyor device is connected to the telescopic slider, the entire roller conveyor unit can slide on the telescopic guide rail. When traffic cones need to be conveyed into the traffic cone splitting mechanism, the telescopic drive unit drives the telescopic sliding motion, moving the roller conveyor unit forward so that its front end is close to the splitting mechanism. This ensures that the traffic cones on the roller conveyor unit can accurately and reliably enter the splitting mechanism, overcoming the transfer difficulties in the process of storing and splitting traffic cones in the prior art. Furthermore, the telescopic roller conveyor device for traffic cones using this invention does not require lateral movement, which can improve the utilization rate of the vehicle space, allowing for the arrangement of as many telescopic roller conveyor devices for traffic cones as possible, increasing the number of traffic cones that can be carried.
[0031] See Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic slider 21 includes two sliding bodies 210 that cooperate with the telescopic guide rail. Each sliding body is a slide base that cooperates with the telescopic guide rail. It also includes an upper fixing plate 211, which is located on the upper end surface of the two sliding bodies 210 and is fixedly connected to the two sliding bodies 210 by fasteners. First side fixing plates 212 are respectively provided at both ends of the upper fixing plate 211 in the width direction. The first side fixing plates 212 are provided with connection holes 2120 for connecting to the output end of the telescopic drive unit. It also includes a second side fixing plate 213, which is located on both sides of the upper fixing plate in the length direction. The second side fixing plate is fixedly connected to the ends of the two first side fixing plates 212. The second side fixing plate 213 is provided with mounting connection holes 2130. The roller conveying unit is fixedly connected to the telescopic slider through the mounting connection holes. The structure of the telescopic slider is described here. The upper fixing plate, the first side fixing plate and the second side fixing plate form a mounting frame, which can protect the two sliding bodies and facilitate connection with other components.
[0032] Combined with appendix Figure 2The roller conveyor unit 1 includes two conveyor mounting plates 10, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the telescopic slider 21. Several conveyor rollers 11 are arranged between the two conveyor mounting plates 10, and each conveyor roller 11 is equipped with a driven sprocket 110. A conveyor drive unit 12 is provided on the outer wall of the conveyor mounting plate 10. A through hole 101 is provided on the conveyor mounting plate 10, and the output end of the conveyor drive unit 12 passes through the through hole and protrudes from the inner wall of the conveyor mounting plate. A drive sprocket 120 is provided on the output end of the conveyor drive unit 12. A transmission chain connects the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket. The conveyor drive unit is a drive motor with a reduction mechanism. The drive motor drives the drive sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the driven sprocket to rotate via the transmission chain, thereby driving the rotation of each conveyor roller and thus enabling the movement of the traffic cones on the conveyor rollers. When the traffic cones in the splitting mechanism are used up, the conveyor drive unit starts and sends the next set of traffic cones into the splitting mechanism.
[0033] See Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a stop assembly 13. Since all the equipment is installed on the vehicle, there may be braking or starting, as well as road bumps during vehicle operation. This could cause the cones on the roller conveyor unit to be moved into the splitting mechanism before all the cones have been placed inside, leading to equipment malfunction. Therefore, a stop assembly is needed. The stop assembly 13 includes a stop beam 130, with both ends connected to the inner walls of two conveyor mounting plates 10. A set of guide blocks 131 are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the stop beam 130. Guide grooves 1310 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two guide blocks 131. The stop beam 130 has guide holes 1301 corresponding to the guide grooves. It also includes a stop plate 132, with a recess 1320 at the lower part. The stop plates on both sides of the recess 1320 form guide feet 1321. A stop plate at the bottom of the recess... The plate 1320 is provided with a T-shaped connecting groove 1322, and also includes a stop cylinder 133 connected to the lower surface of the stop beam. The stop beam 130 is provided with an output hole 1302. The output rod of the stop cylinder 133 passes through the output hole and connects to the T-shaped connecting groove. The two ends of the stop plate 132 are fitted in the guide groove 1310, and the guide foot 1321 is fitted in the guide hole. Here, the stop plate is driven to move up and down by the stop cylinder. The two ends of the stop plate are guided by the guide groove of the guide block to ensure the smoothness of the up and down movement of the stop plate. The guide foot extends the side plate of the stop plate. When the stop plate is raised, the side of the guide foot is still fitted in the guide groove. When the stop plate is lowered, the guide foot can pass through the guide hole to ensure the lowering distance of the stop plate. This ensures that the stop plate will not affect the road cone from sliding from the roller conveyor unit into the splitting mechanism after it is lowered. When the stop plate is raised, the upper end of the stop plate is higher than the base of the road cone, thus blocking the road cone.
[0034] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a clamping unit 14 connected to the outer wall of the conveying mounting plate 10. The clamping unit 14 includes two L-shaped mounting plates 140. The lower end of the L-shaped mounting plate 140 is connected to the outer wall of the conveying mounting plate. The upper end of the L-shaped mounting plate 140 is provided with a clamping cylinder 141. A clamping plate 142 is connected between the clamping cylinders on the two conveying mounting plates on the same side. The clamping unit is located on both sides of the roller. When there is a traffic cone on the roller conveyor, the clamping cylinder drives the clamping plate to move forward, so that the distance between the two clamping plates becomes smaller, thereby maintaining the cone part at the top of the traffic cone and preventing the traffic cone from tipping over due to shaking during vehicle travel.
[0035] See Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the conveying mounting plate 10 is bent inward to form an upper plane 100, and the end of the upper plane is bent downward to form a short folded edge 101. The upper plane is higher than the upper surface of the traffic cone base, and the lower end of the short folded edge is lower than the upper surface of the traffic cone base. The upper plane and the short folded edge formed by bending can strengthen the structural strength of the conveying mounting plate. At the same time, the upper plane and the short folded edge can cover the transmission mechanism of the equipment, improving the aesthetics of the equipment. By limiting the height, the traffic cone base is also prevented from getting stuck in the short folded edge, which is conducive to the smooth movement of the traffic cone on the roller conveyor.
[0036] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] The telescopic roller conveyor of this utility model includes a roller conveyor and a telescopic component. On the one hand, it is used to store traffic cones. Multiple traffic cones are stacked into a group according to a certain quantity, and then multiple groups are placed on the roller conveyor. On the other hand, the telescopic component can drive the roller conveyor to move back and forth, so that the front end of the roller conveyor is close to the splitting mechanism, and the traffic cones can be accurately and reliably sent into the splitting mechanism.
