Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sign technology, and in particular to an easy-to-maintain sign. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of intelligent public facilities and industrial signage technology, signs have become widely used as information carriers in traffic guidance, public place guidance, and industrial area warnings. Existing sign technology typically employs a fixed installation structure, using bolts or clips to fix the overall frame to walls, columns, or other mounting surfaces, forming a relatively closed display system. In traditional technology, maintaining the light source components and indicator panels requires a complete disassembly process: when the LED light source malfunctions or the indicator panel content needs updating, operators must use screwdrivers, wrenches, and other tools to remove each fixing screw or disassemble the complex clip structure, removing the entire sign from its installation position before inspecting or replacing the internal components, and then reinstalling it. However, this traditional sign maintenance method is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, severely impacting the efficiency of wayfinding in public places, but frequent disassembly also easily causes wear and tear on the mounting components, leading to loosening or even detachment of the sign, posing safety hazards and resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an easy-to-maintain sign to address the technical problem of high maintenance costs associated with signage.
[0004] An easy-to-maintain sign includes: a mounting base, a light source, a frame, and an indicator plate. The mounting base includes a base body and a rotating component. The base body has a receiving cavity and a fastening groove. One end of the rotating component is connected to the mounting base and is disposed on the side of the base body opposite to the fastening groove. The other end of the rotating component is connected to the frame. The light source is installed in the receiving cavity and is used to emit light towards the frame. The frame includes a frame body, a limiting piece, and a buckle. The frame body has a display opening. The limiting piece is disposed in the frame body and forms a slot with the frame body that communicates with the display opening. The buckle engages with the fastening groove, and the indicator plate engages with the slot.
[0005] In one embodiment, the frame includes a front frame and side frames. The front frame has the display opening, and the side frames are arranged around the edge of the front frame and connected to the limiting piece and the buckle.
[0006] In one embodiment, there are multiple limiting pieces, each of which is disposed on opposite sides of the side frame.
[0007] In one embodiment, the face frame has a clearance surface that gradually tapers toward the display opening.
[0008] In one embodiment, the number of the latches is two, and the two latches are spaced apart.
[0009] In one embodiment, the buckle includes an elastic part and a buckle part, the elastic part connecting the frame and the buckle part, and the buckle part engaging with the buckle groove.
[0010] In one embodiment, the light source includes a circuit board and LEDs. The circuit board is connected to the base, and there are multiple LEDs, each of which is disposed on the side of the circuit board facing the display opening.
[0011] In one embodiment, the light source further includes a diffuser plate disposed between the LED light and the display port.
[0012] In one embodiment, the light source further includes a switch electrically connected to the circuit board.
[0013] In one embodiment, the base is provided with a heat dissipation groove, which is located between the bottom surface of the base and the circuit board.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the easy-to-maintain sign provided in this application are as follows: By setting a rotating component, the faceplate can rotate relative to the mounting base. During maintenance, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire sign from the installation position. Simply rotating the faceplate with the rotating component exposes the receiving cavity and slot, which facilitates the inspection and replacement of the light source and the sign, greatly improving maintenance efficiency. The snap-fit structure of the buckle and the snap-slot makes the connection and separation of the faceplate and the mounting base more convenient, further enhancing the maintainability of the sign. The slot formed by the limiting plate and the frame provides an accurate installation position for the sign, ensuring that the sign is installed firmly, and also facilitating the quick installation and removal of the sign.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it is the easy-maintain sign 100 of this utility model.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the easy-to-maintain sign 100 includes: a mounting base 10, a light source 20, a faceplate 30, and an indicator plate 40. The mounting base 10 includes a seat 11 and a rotating component 12. The seat 11 has a receiving cavity 111 and a latching groove 112. The rotating component 12 is a hinge. One end of the rotating component 12 is connected to the mounting base 10 and is located on the side of the seat 11 facing away from the latching groove 112. The other end of the rotating component 12 is connected to the faceplate 30. The light source 20 is installed in the receiving cavity 111 and is used to emit light towards the faceplate 30. Figure 3As shown, the noodle holder 30 includes a frame 31, a limiting piece 32, and a buckle 33. The frame 31 has a display opening 311. The limiting piece 32 is disposed inside the frame 31 and forms a slot 321 with the frame 31, communicating with the display opening 311. The buckle 33 engages with the buckle groove 112. The indicator plate 40 engages with the slot 321. By providing a rotating component 12, the noodle holder 30 can rotate relative to the hanging base 10. During maintenance, it is not necessary to remove the entire indicator from its installation position; only the rotating component 12 is needed. 2. Rotating the faceplate 30 exposes the receiving cavity 111 and slot 321, facilitating the inspection and replacement of the light source 20 and indicator plate 40, greatly improving maintenance efficiency. The snap-fit structure of the buckle 33 and the buckle slot 112 makes the connection and separation of the faceplate 30 and the hanging base 10 more convenient, further improving the maintainability of the indicator. The slot 321 formed by the limiting piece 32 and the frame 31 provides an accurate installation position for the indicator plate 40, ensuring that the indicator plate 40 is installed firmly, and also facilitating the quick installation and removal of the indicator plate 40.
[0032] The following text, combined with Figures 1 to 3 Further explanation is provided regarding the aforementioned easy-to-maintain indicator 100.
[0033] To make the control of light source 20 more stable and reliable, such as Figure 2 As shown, the light source 20 includes a circuit board 21 and LED lights 22. The circuit board 21 is connected to the base 11. There are multiple LED lights 22, each of which is located on the side of the circuit board 21 facing the display port 311. The LED lights 22 have advantages such as high luminous efficiency, low energy consumption, and long life. The arrangement of multiple LED lights 22 can provide sufficient light source 20, ensuring that the sign can be clearly displayed even in low-light environments. The circuit board 21 integrates and controls the LED lights 22, so as to make the control of the light source 20 more stable and reliable.
[0034] To improve the display effect of signs and make the directional information clearer and easier to read, such as Figure 2 As shown, the light source 20 also includes a diffuser plate 23, which is disposed between the LED light 22 and the display port 311. The diffuser plate 23 can diffuse the light emitted by the LED light 22, so that the light shines more evenly on the indicator plate 40, avoiding local strong light or weak light, thereby improving the display effect of the sign and making the indicator information clearer and easier to read.
[0035] To save energy and extend the lifespan of the light source 20, such as Figure 2As shown, the light source 20 also includes a switch 24, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 21. The switch 24 is designed to facilitate user control of the light source 20. Users can turn the light source 20 on or off as needed, and turn off the switch 24 when the light source 20 is not needed, thereby saving energy and extending the service life of the light source 20.
[0036] To improve the reliability and stability of signs, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base 11 is provided with a heat dissipation groove 113, which is located between the bottom surface of the base 11 and the circuit board 21. The heat dissipation groove 113 can increase the contact area between the base 11 and the air, accelerate air circulation, and dissipate the heat generated by the light source 20 when it is working in time, reduce the temperature of the circuit board 21 and the LED light 22, and avoid affecting the service life and performance of the light source 20 due to overheating, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the sign.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame 31 includes a front frame 312 and a side frame 313. The front frame 312 is provided with the display opening 311. The side frame 313 is arranged around the edge of the front frame 312 and is connected to the limiting piece 32 and the buckle 33. The side frame 313 can support and fix the limiting piece 32 and the buckle 33, ensuring the stability of the frame 30 during use, and also facilitating the installation and connection of various components.
[0038] To ensure the reliability of the indication effect, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple limiting pieces 32, each of which is respectively disposed on opposite sides of the side frame 313. The multiple limiting pieces 32 can limit and fix the indicator plate 40 from multiple directions, preventing the indicator plate 40 from shaking or shifting in the slot 321, ensuring the stability of the indicator plate 40 after installation, and achieving the purpose of ensuring the reliability of the indication effect.
[0039] To improve the prompting effect of indicator 40, such as Figure 2 As shown, the face frame 312 is provided with a clearance surface 314. The clearance surface 314 gradually tapers towards the display opening 311. The clearance surface 314 can provide a wider display surface for the indicator board 40, making the indicator board 40 easier to notice and improving the prompting effect of the indicator board 40 to a certain extent.
[0040] To improve the overall reliability of signage, such as Figure 3As shown, there are two buckles 33, which are spaced apart. The spaced buckles 33 can provide a more stable locking effect, making the connection between the faceplate 30 and the hanging seat 10 more secure, preventing the faceplate 30 from falling off due to external force during use, and thus improving the overall reliability of the sign.
[0041] To improve ease of use, such as Figure 3 As shown, the buckle 33 includes an elastic part 331 and a buckle part 332. The elastic part 331 connects the frame 31 and the buckle part 332. The buckle part 332 engages with the buckle groove 112. The elastic part 331 provides the buckle 33 with a certain elastic deformation capability. When the buckle 33 engages with the buckle groove 112, the elastic part 331 can undergo elastic deformation, making it easier for the buckle part 332 to be inserted into the buckle groove 112. At the same time, it can provide a certain pre-tightening force after engagement to ensure the stability of engagement. Furthermore, during disassembly, pressing the elastic part 331 causes the buckle part 332 to disengage from the buckle groove 112, thereby improving the ease of operation.
[0042] The operation method of the easy-maintain sign 100 provided in this application is as follows: insert the sign 40 into the slot 321, and position and fix it by the limiting piece 32. Then, the face frame 30 is snapped into the buckle slot 112 of the bracket 10 by the buckle 33 to realize the connection between the face frame 30 and the bracket 10. When maintenance is required, rotate the face frame 30 so that the face frame 30 rotates around the rotating part 12 to expose the receiving cavity 111 and the slot 321, so that the light source 20 and the sign 40 can be inspected or replaced. The light source 20 can be turned on and off by the switch 24. The heat dissipation slot 113 can dissipate the heat generated by the light source 20 when it is working in time, and the diffuser plate 23 makes the light more uniform.
[0043] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0044] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
