[0005] A rotatable sign includes a base, a drive assembly, a rotating assembly, multiple signs, and a locking assembly. The rotating assembly is disposed on the base, and the multiple signs are evenly arranged around the rotating assembly. The drive assembly is also disposed on the base, and the power output end of the drive assembly is connected to the power receiving end of the rotating assembly. When the rotating assembly rotates, it can drive the signs to switch positions.

[0006] The aforementioned rotatable sign also has the following features: the rotating assembly includes two rotating disks, two extending arms, and a central shaft; the two extending arms are distributed parallel to each other on the base; the two rotating disks are disposed at both ends of the central shaft; and the end faces of the central shaft pass through the corresponding rotating disks and are rotatably connected to the corresponding extending arms; a plurality of signs are arranged around the central shaft between the two rotating disks; and the two ends of each sign are detachably connected to the two rotating disks.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are: there is space between the two rotating disks for installing signs, and the two ends of the signs are detachably connected to the two rotating disks respectively. When the central axis rotates, it can drive multiple signs to rotate so that the corresponding signs face forward for display. When all signs need to be replaced, they can all be removed and replaced.

[0008] The aforementioned rotatable sign also has the following feature: the drive assembly includes a support base, a drive motor, and a transmission mechanism; the support base is disposed on the base; the drive motor is disposed on the support base; and the power output end of the drive motor is connected to the central shaft through the transmission mechanism.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: the drive motor outputs power, the transmission mechanism transmits the power to the central shaft, causing the central shaft to rotate, so as to change the displayed indicator.

[0010] The aforementioned rotatable sign also has the following feature: the rotating disk has grooves that correspond one-to-one with the sign, one end of the groove extends to the edge of the rotating disk, and one end of the bottom wall of the groove has a receiving groove. The locking component is disposed in the receiving groove, and when the sign is fully inserted into the groove, the locking component locks with the sign.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are: the two ends of the sign can be respectively inserted into two grooves, and when the locking component locks the sign, the sign is connected to the two rotating disks.

[0012] The aforementioned rotatable indicator also features the following characteristics: the locking assembly includes a wedge, an elastic element, and a pull rod; one end of the elastic element is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to one end of the wedge; a channel penetrating the rotating disk is provided in the center of the bottom wall of the receiving groove; one end of the pull rod is outside the rotating disk, and the other end of the pull rod extends into the receiving groove after passing through the channel, and the other end of the pull rod is connected to one end of the wedge; when the elastic element is in its natural state, the other end of the wedge extends out of the receiving groove and enters the recess.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: the elastic element allows the wedge to extend out of the receiving groove and hold the sign in place, preventing the sign from being pulled out of the groove.

[0014] The aforementioned rotatable sign also has the feature that the other end of the wedge is set as a bevel, so that when the sign gradually enters the groove, the sign presses against the beveled end of the wedge, causing it to retract into the receiving groove.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: when installing the sign, the sign can cause the wedge to retract into the receiving groove until the sign is fully inserted into the groove.

[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this scheme are:

[0017] The rotatable sign provided by this utility model uses a drive component to rotate the rotating component, thereby adjusting the orientation of the sign to indicate its location. When all signs need to be replaced, a locking component allows for easy removal and replacement. The rotatable sign provided by this utility model effectively allows for the adjustment of the displayed information through rotation. Attached Figure Description

Figure 2 This is a side view of the rotating disk of the rotatable sign of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a front sectional view of the rotating disk of the rotatable sign of this utility model. Figure 4 For the present utility model Figure 3 An enlarged structural diagram at point A in the middle, as shown below. Figures 1-4 As shown, the rotatable sign provided in this embodiment includes a base 1, a drive component, a rotating component, multiple signs 2, and a locking component. The rotating component is disposed on the base 1, and the multiple signs 2 are evenly arranged around the rotating component. The drive component is also disposed on the base 1. The power output end of the drive component is connected to the power receiving end of the rotating component. When the rotating component rotates, it can drive the signs 2 to switch.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the rotating assembly includes two rotating disks 4, two extending arms 3, and a central shaft 5. The two extending arms 3 are distributed parallel to each other on the base 1. The two rotating disks 4 are disposed at both ends of the central shaft 5, and the end faces of the two ends of the central shaft 5 pass through the corresponding rotating disks and are rotatably connected to the corresponding extending arms 3 respectively. A plurality of indicator signs 2 are disposed around the central shaft 5 between the two rotating disks 4, and the two ends of the indicator signs 2 are detachably connected to the two rotating disks 4 respectively.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the drive assembly includes a support 6, a drive motor 7, and a transmission mechanism. The support 6 is disposed on the base 1, the drive motor 7 is disposed on the support 6, and the power output end of the drive motor 7 is connected to the central shaft 5 through the transmission mechanism.

[0029] In the above embodiment, the rotating disk 4 has a groove corresponding to the indicator 2. One end of the groove extends to the edge of the rotating disk 4. A receiving groove is formed on the bottom wall of one end of the groove. The locking component is set in the receiving groove. When the indicator 2 is completely inserted into the groove, the locking component locks with the indicator 2.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the locking component includes a wedge 8, an elastic element 9, and a pull rod 10. One end of the elastic element 9 is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove, and the other end of the elastic element 9 is connected to one end of the wedge 8. A channel penetrating the rotating disk 4 is provided in the center of the bottom wall of the receiving groove. One end of the pull rod 10 is outside the rotating disk 4, and the other end of the pull rod 10 extends into the receiving groove after passing through the channel. The other end of the pull rod 10 is connected to one end of the wedge 8. When the elastic element 9 is in its natural state, the other end of the wedge 8 extends out of the receiving groove and enters the groove.

[0031] It should be noted that the natural state of elastic element 9 refers to its state in which it is not subject to external forces.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the other end of the wedge 8 is set as a bevel. When the indicator 2 gradually enters the groove, the indicator 2 presses the bevel end of the wedge 8, which can cause it to retract into the receiving groove.

[0033] Working principle: Multiple indicator signs 2 surround the outer circumference of the central shaft 5. When the drive motor 7 starts, it can drive the central shaft 5 to rotate, so that the indicator signs 2 can be switched. When all the indicator signs 2 need to be replaced, pull the lever 10 to make the wedge block 8 retract into the receiving groove. At this time, the indicator signs 2 are pulled out from the groove until all the indicator signs 2 are removed. Insert the two ends of the new indicator signs 2 into the two grooves respectively. As the indicator signs 2 are inserted, the indicator signs 2 press the inclined end of the wedge block 8, making it retract into the receiving groove. When the indicator signs 2 are completely in the groove, the elastic element 9 drives the wedge block 8 to extend and engage with the indicator signs 2, thus completing the replacement of the indicator signs 2.
