Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency equipment technology, specifically to an adaptive guidance device and adjustment structure. Background Technology

[0002] Wayfinding systems are devices or systems that guide people to locate and navigate in a space through visual, signage, or interactive technologies. They are widely used in architecture, urban environments, commercial spaces, transportation hubs, exhibition venues, and other scenarios. Their core objective is to help users quickly understand the spatial layout, reduce feelings of disorientation, and improve efficiency and experience.

[0003] Common types of signage include static signage, dynamic signage, spatial design, and interactive technologies. Static signage, such as directional arrows, floor plans, text signs, and icons, conveys information through color, graphics, and text. Dynamic signage includes electronic screens and LED displays, which can update information in real time. Additional spatial design can also be used to guide pedestrian flow through subtle means such as architectural structure, lighting, and color zoning. Interactive technologies include methods such as touchscreen kiosks, AR navigation, mobile apps, and Bluetooth beacons.

[0004] Currently, touchscreen kiosks are a relatively common emerging technology. However, these traditional wayfinding devices are usually fixed in certain locations, making them inconvenient to move. They also lack flexibility when dealing with different user groups. In actual use, the height and angle settings are relatively fixed. Although they can be fine-tuned, they still require manual operation. This is extremely inconvenient for elderly people and children with limited mobility. Therefore, an adaptive wayfinding device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an adaptive wayfinding device with advantages such as high flexibility and strong practicality, solving the problems of low flexibility and inconvenience in the use of traditional wayfinding devices.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned goals of high flexibility and practicality, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model provides an adaptive wayfinding device, including a base, a protective cover on top of the base, a wayfinding host on top of the protective cover, and a touch panel on the front of the wayfinding host. The bottom of the wayfinding host is provided with a fixing component for limiting the angle, and the inside of the protective cover is provided with an adjustment component for adjusting the height.

[0007] The fixing component includes a fixing base that is inserted into the bottom of the wayfinding host for support. The fixing base has a limiting rod that passes through the fixing base and is rotatably connected to the fixing base. The inner top wall of the protective cover is rotatably connected to several positioning rods for limiting. The positioning rods are rotatably connected to an operating rod on their opposite sides. The inner side wall of the front of the protective cover is rotatably connected to an adjusting telescopic rod for adjusting the position of the operating rod.

[0008] The adjustment assembly includes a support base fixed to the top of the base. Two movable rods are respectively provided on both sides of the support base. A connecting rod is rotatably connected between the two movable rods on the left and right sides. A double-headed telescopic rod for adjusting the opening and closing angle of the movable rods is rotatably connected between the two connecting rods on the front and back sides.

[0009] The top of the protective cover has a square movable slot, and the fixing seat is a square structure adapted to the movable slot. The fixing seat vertically passes through the movable slot and is slidably connected to the front and rear side walls of the movable slot.

[0010] The limiting rod has recessed slots at both ends for use with positioning rods. The two positioning rods are respectively embedded in the slots at both ends of the limiting rod and are slidably connected to the limiting rod.

[0011] The tops of the two positioning rods are rotatably connected to the two inner sidewalls of the movable slot, respectively, and the operating rod passes horizontally through the bottom end of the adjusting telescopic rod and is rotatably connected to the adjusting telescopic rod.

[0012] The movable rod is a V-shaped rod with a central rotating axis and both ends that can rotate and fold around the rotating axis. The four movable rods are divided into two groups and rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the limiting rod located outside the fixed base.

[0013] The two ends of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to the rotation axes of the left and right movable rods, respectively, and the two ends of the double-headed telescopic rod are rotatably connected to the front and rear connecting rods, respectively.

[0014] The base has several casters at its bottom, and the bottom of the protective cover is embedded in the top of the base and fixedly installed with the base by plugging it in.

[0015] Another aspect of this utility model provides an adjustment structure adapted to a wayfinding device. An environmental sensing module is provided on the outer side of the protective cover of the wayfinding device applied to the above-mentioned aspect.

[0016] The environmental perception module includes a main control board fixed to the front of the protective cover. The front of the main control board is equipped with a lidar for detection, an infrared sensor for sensing, and a camera for identification. A power module is located inside the protective cover, and the power module is electrically connected to the guide host, main control board, lidar, infrared sensor, and camera.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an adaptive wayfinding device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This adaptive wayfinding device extends and retracts by controlling the telescopic rod. During the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod, the operating rod can rotate around the top of the positioning rod, thereby causing the positioning rod to rotate. The opposite side of the positioning rod is embedded in the side of the limiting rod, so that the rotation of the positioning rod can cause the limiting rod and the fixed seat to rotate inside the movable rod. The rotation of the fixed seat causes the tilt angle of the wayfinding host to change, adapting to the touch operation of the user.

[0019] 2. This adaptive wayfinding device retracts the double-headed telescopic rod, causing the connecting rod to move relative to it. At this time, the top of the movable rod is limited by the limiting rod, causing the relative movement of the connecting rod to extend the movable rod. The rotation of the movable rod pushes the height of the limiting rod to change. The side of the limiting rod is limited by the positioning rod and can only move along the direction of the positioning rod, thereby pushing the fixed base and the wayfinding host to rise to adapt to the operating height of the current user. This solves the problems of low flexibility and inconvenience of traditional wayfinding devices. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, an adaptive wayfinding device includes a base 1, a protective cover 2 disposed on the top of the base 1, a wayfinding host 3 disposed above the protective cover 2, a touch panel 4 disposed on the front of the wayfinding host 3, a fixing component 5 for limiting the angle disposed at the bottom of the wayfinding host 3, and an adjustment component 6 for adjusting the height disposed inside the protective cover 2.

[0028] The fixing component 5 includes a fixing base 51 that is inserted into the bottom of the guide host 3 for support. The fixing base 51 has a limiting rod 52 that passes through the fixing base 51 and is rotatably connected to the fixing base 51. The inner top wall of the protective cover 2 is rotatably connected to several positioning rods 53 for limiting. The left and right sides of the positioning rods 53 are provided with rotatably connected operating rods 54. The inner side wall of the front of the protective cover 2 is rotatably connected to an adjusting telescopic rod 55 for adjusting the position of the operating rod 54.

[0029] The adjustment assembly 6 includes a support base 61 fixed to the top of the base 1. Two movable rods 62 are rotatably connected on both sides of the support base 61. A connecting rod 63 is rotatably connected between the two movable rods 62 on the left and right sides. A double-headed telescopic rod 64 for adjusting the opening and closing angle of the movable rods 62 is rotatably connected between the two connecting rods 63 on the front and back sides.

[0030] In this embodiment, the top of the protective cover 2 is provided with a square movable slot 21, and the fixing seat 51 is a square structure adapted to the movable slot 21. The fixing seat 51 vertically penetrates the movable slot 21 and is slidably connected to the front and rear side walls of the movable slot 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, the two ends of the limiting rod 52 are provided with fitting slots for use with the positioning rod 53. The two positioning rods 53 are respectively embedded in the slots at both ends of the limiting rod 52 and are slidably connected with the limiting rod 52.

[0032] In this embodiment, the tops of the two positioning rods 53 are rotatably connected to the two inner sidewalls of the movable slot 21 on the left and right sides, respectively, and the operating rod 54 passes through the bottom end of the adjusting telescopic rod 55 laterally and is rotatably connected to the adjusting telescopic rod 55.

[0033] In this embodiment, the movable rod 62 is a V-shaped rod with a central rotating shaft and both ends that can rotate and fold around the rotating shaft. The four movable rods 62 are divided into two groups and rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the limiting rod 52 located outside the fixed base 51.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting rod 63 are rotatably connected to the rotation axes of the left and right movable rods 62, respectively, and the two ends of the double-headed telescopic rod 64 are rotatably connected to the front and rear connecting rods 63, respectively.

[0035] This application also proposes an adjustment structure adapted to the wayfinding device, wherein an environmental sensing module 7 is provided on the outside of the protective cover 2;

[0036] The environmental perception module 7 includes a main control board 71 fixed on the front of the protective cover 2. The front of the main control board 71 is fixed with a lidar 72 for detection, an infrared sensor 73 for sensing, and a camera 74 for identification.

[0037] The lidar 72 identifies the current environmental conditions, the infrared sensor 73 detects whether there are users approaching to operate, and the camera 74 collects the height information of the current operator. Together with the main control board 71, the double-headed telescopic rod 64 and the adjustable telescopic rod 55 are activated to extend and retract.

[0038] It should be noted that the main control board 71 has an internal main control module for data analysis and processing.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with several movable wheels, and the bottom of the protective cover 2 is embedded in the top of the base 1 and fixedly installed with the base 1 by plugging.

[0040] In this embodiment, a power module is installed inside the protective cover 2. The power module is electrically connected to the guide host 3, the main control board 71, the lidar 72, the infrared sensor 73, and the camera 74.

[0041] It should be noted that both the double-headed telescopic rod 64 and the adjustable telescopic rod 55 are electric telescopic rods, and the main control board 71 can control both of them.

[0042] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0043] The telescopic rod 55 is extended and retracted by controlling the telescopic rod 55. During the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 55, the operating rod 54 can be rotated around the top of the positioning rod 53, thereby causing the positioning rod 53 to rotate. The opposite side of the positioning rod 53 is embedded in the side of the limiting rod 52, so that the rotation of the positioning rod 53 can cause the limiting rod 52 and the fixed seat 51 to rotate inside the movable rod 62. The rotation of the fixed seat 51 causes the tilt angle of the guide host 3 to change, adapting to the touch operation of the user.

[0044] In addition, by controlling the retraction of the double-headed telescopic rod 64, the connecting rod 63 is moved relative to it. At this time, the top of the movable rod 62 is limited by the limiting rod 52, so that the relative movement of the connecting rod 63 causes the movable rod 62 to unfold. The rotation of the movable rod 62 pushes the height of the limiting rod 52 to change. The side of the limiting rod 52 is limited by the positioning rod 53 and can only move along the direction of the positioning rod 53, thereby pushing the fixed base 51 and the wayfinding host 3 to rise to adapt to the operating height of the current user. This solves the problem of low flexibility and inconvenience of traditional wayfinding devices.

[0045] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that performs control functions, and the existing publicly available power connection technologies are not described in detail in the text.
