[0002] With economic and social development, urban traffic is becoming increasingly congested, and many citizens prefer to travel by public transportation, such as buses and subways. In the bus operating system, bus stops serve as a place for people to wait and alight. Traditional bus stop signs display the boarding and alighting points for various bus routes. With technological advancements, traditional bus stop signs are gradually being replaced by smart bus stop signs. Smart bus stop signs consist of a display screen and a casing. Their function extends beyond simply showing the boarding and alighting points for various bus routes; they can also update bus locations and waiting times in real time, providing guidance for waiting passengers and alleviating their impatience while waiting for the bus.

[0003] Currently, some smart bus stop signs cannot be equipped with rain shelters due to narrow roads, leaving them directly exposed to the natural environment. Under strong sunlight, the brightness of the display screen decreases, making it difficult for waiting passengers to see the information displayed, thus affecting the normal use of the bus stop signs.

[0021] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0022] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 3 A preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bus stop electronic sign display terminal, will be described in detail below.

[0025] Specifically, the electronic bus stop display terminal includes a housing 10, at least one display element 20, a brightness detection mechanism 30, a controller 40, and at least one brightness adjustment component 50.

[0026] The outer casing 10 includes a casing body 11. The casing body 11 forms at least one window 1101. The outer casing 10 forms a receiving cavity 101 in the casing body 11.

[0027] The display element 20 is installed in the receiving cavity 101, wherein the position of the display element 20 corresponds to that of the window 1101, so that waiting passengers can view the bus information displayed on the display element 20.

[0028] The brightness detection mechanism 30 is configured to monitor the brightness of the location of the bus stop sign, and the brightness detection mechanism 30 is communicatively connected to the controller 40.

[0029] The brightness adjustment assembly 50 includes a photoelectric converter 51, which is installed in the receiving cavity 101, and the photoelectric converter 51 and the display device 20 are communicatively connected to the controller 40. When the photoelectric converter 51 is turned on, it converts the light signal corresponding to the light detected by the brightness detection mechanism 30 into an electrical signal and feeds it back to the controller 40. The controller 40 then adjusts the brightness of the light emitted by the display device 20 towards the outside of the housing 10 based on the electrical signal. In other words, the controller 40 can control the brightness of the light emitted by the display device 20 based on the monitoring results of the brightness detection mechanism 30.

[0030] Those skilled in the art will understand that, in this way, when the brightness detection mechanism 30 detects that the light at the location of the bus stop sign is dim, the controller 40 controls the brightness of the display component 20 to maintain a preset brightness based on the monitoring result of the brightness detection mechanism 30, so as to ensure that users can observe normally from the outside of the housing 10; when the brightness detection mechanism 30 detects that the light at the location of the bus stop sign is bright and exceeds a preset threshold, the controller 40 controls the brightness of the display component 20 to increase based on the monitoring result of the brightness detection mechanism 30. It is understood that when outdoor light is strong, it is difficult for waiting passengers to see the information displayed on the display component 20 with the naked eye. The brightness adjustment component 50 converts the light signal generated by the brightness detection mechanism 30 into an electrical signal, thereby increasing the brightness of the light provided by the display component 20 so that citizens can see it.

[0031] Preferably, the outer casing 10 further includes at least one light-transmitting element 12, which is installed on the casing body 11 and blocks the window 1101 to protect the display element 20.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that the light-transmitting element 12 is made of transparent glass or transparent plastic sheet, so that people waiting for the bus can view the bus information displayed on the display element 20 through the light-transmitting element 12.

[0033] In one example, the display 20 is implemented as including a liquid crystal display screen.

[0034] Preferably, the brightness detection mechanism 30 is implemented as a brightness sensor.

[0035] In other words, when the brightness detection mechanism 30 detects that the current light at the location of the bus stop sign is brighter, the controller 40 controls the display component 20 to emit stronger light; conversely, when the brightness detection mechanism 30 detects that the current light at the location of the bus stop sign is dimmer, the controller 40 controls the brightness adjustment component 50 to emit relatively dimmer light, while still ensuring normal visual observation for the user. This not only ensures that the user can normally observe the information displayed on the display component 20, but also effectively saves energy by preventing the display component 20 from maintaining a consistently bright display.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the brightness adjustment component 50 further includes a set of light-emitting elements 52, wherein the light-emitting elements 52 are disposed on the housing body 11 to radiate light to the surrounding environment outside the display element 20, and wherein the light-emitting elements 52 are controllably connected to the controller 40.

[0037] When the brightness detection mechanism 30 detects that the light at the location of the bus stop sign is dim, the controller 40 controls the brightness of the display component 20 to remain at a preset brightness based on the monitoring results of the brightness detection mechanism 30, so as to ensure that the user can observe normally from the outside of the housing 10; at the same time, the controller 40 also controls the light-emitting component 52 to emit light or increase the light intensity around the display component 20, thereby improving the light intensity of the surrounding environment of the display component 20.

[0038] When the brightness detection mechanism 30 detects that the light at the location of the bus stop sign is too bright and exceeds a preset threshold, the controller 40 controls the brightness of the display component 20 to increase based on the monitoring result of the brightness detection mechanism 30. Simultaneously, the controller 40 also controls the intensity of the light-emitting element 52 to decrease. In this way, the light-emitting element 52 can provide the necessary illumination to the environment surrounding the display component 20.

[0039] Understandably, when the outdoor light is strong, it is difficult for people waiting for a bus to see the information displayed on the display device 20 with the naked eye. The photoelectric converter 51 converts the light signal generated by the brightness detection mechanism 30 into an electrical signal, thereby increasing the brightness of the light provided by the display device 20 so that people can see it.

[0040] Preferably, the shell body 11 forms two windows 1101 arranged opposite to each other. Two light-transmitting elements 12 and two display elements 20 are each provided, with the two light-transmitting elements 12 respectively installed in the windows 1101 formed by the shell body 11. The two display elements 20 are installed at intervals in the receiving cavity 101. Two sets of brightness adjustment components 50 are provided, with each set of brightness adjustment components 50 positioned on the same side as the two display elements 20. The two display elements 20 are respectively positioned opposite to the light-transmitting elements 12 on the same side.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that both displays 20 can simultaneously display the real-time location of the same bus route for the convenience of waiting passengers. Similarly, the two displays 20 can each display the real-time location of different bus routes to meet the need to display a large number of real-time bus route locations simultaneously.

[0042] Preferably, two brightness detection mechanisms 30 are provided, both of which are installed on the housing body 11, and each of the two brightness detection mechanisms 30 is used to detect the light intensity at the location of the two display components 20. To help those skilled in the art understand this embodiment, an example is given where the two sides of a bus stop sign face east and west respectively. In the morning, the display component 20 facing east is affected by sunlight, making it difficult for waiting passengers to see the bus information displayed on it. Subsequently, the controller 40 controls the display component 20 facing east based on the detection results of the brightness detection mechanism 30 on the east side, thereby adjusting the brightness of the surface of the display component 20 facing east. In the afternoon, the west-facing display 20 is affected by sunlight, making it difficult for waiting passengers to see the bus information displayed on it. Therefore, the controller 40 controls the west-facing display 20 based on the detection results of the brightness detection mechanism 30 located on the west side to adjust the brightness of the west-facing display 20 surface. At this time, the east-facing display 20 is in shadow, and the controller 40 controls the east-facing display 20 based on the detection results of the east-facing brightness detection mechanism 30. The brightness adjustment components 50 and the display 20 on both sides operate independently, thus saving energy for the bus stop sign.

[0043] Furthermore, the electronic bus stop display terminal also includes a receiving mechanism 60. The receiving mechanism 60 is communicatively connected to the controller 40. A positioning module is installed on the bus to monitor its location in real time. The receiving mechanism 60 can receive the bus's location information monitored by the positioning module, and the controller 40 updates the bus information displayed on the display unit 20 promptly based on the bus's location information received by the receiving mechanism 60.

[0044] Preferably, the receiving mechanism 60 is installed on the top of the housing body 11 so that the receiving mechanism 60 can receive the location signal of the bus in a timely manner.

[0045] Preferably, the controller 40 is mounted above and / or below the display element 20. Since the gap between the two display elements 20 is small and the heat dissipation performance of the display elements 20 is poor, if the controller 40 is positioned between the two display elements 20, it would be detrimental to the heat dissipation of the controller 40. Therefore, the controller 40 is positioned above and / or below the display element 20 to facilitate heat dissipation.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the shell body 11 has a mounting portion 111 formed at the top and / or bottom, the mounting portion 111 being made of a thermally conductive material. The controller 40 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting portion 111, so that the heat generated by the controller 40 during operation can be diffused to the external environment through the mounting portion 111.

[0047] In one example, the mounting portion 111 is made of thermally conductive silicone material.

[0048] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from the stated principles.
