Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway signal technology, and in particular to a high-mast signal that can be manually raised, lowered and angled. Background Technology
[0002] Signals are installed alongside railway lines, typically suspended in mid-air by signal foundations. In areas with small curve radii, high-mast signals are specially installed to facilitate color identification by train drivers and shunting foremen. For signal maintenance, existing high-mast signals generally have a folding steel ladder fixed to the mast. During maintenance, the ladder is unfolded, and maintenance personnel climb up to access the signal. This maintenance method has many problems. For example:
[0003] (1) During the maintenance process, the maintenance personnel need to hold the steel ladder with one hand and can only use one hand to inspect or repair the signal, which reduces the flexibility of the maintenance personnel. Compared with maintenance on the ground, it is easy to fall and cause many inconveniences in maintenance, and even makes it impossible to carry out complex maintenance.
[0004] (2) Only one maintenance personnel is allowed, and complex repairs are not permitted;
[0005] (3) If the signal is disassembled for maintenance, firstly, due to the limitation of maintenance personnel, it is not easy to disassemble, which affects work efficiency. Secondly, after the signal is disassembled, the train driver and shunting foreman cannot directly confirm whether the line is allowed to enter, which will affect the normal production activities and production efficiency of metallurgical enterprises.
[0006] (4) According to the new steel ladder standard, ordinary steel ladders need to be replaced with cage-type steel ladders, which further restricts the range of activities of maintenance personnel and causes many inconveniences during operation. Utility Model Content

This structural design allows the high-post signal to be manually raised, lowered, and angled to meet different usage needs. The base 1, fixed to the side of the railway line, provides stable support for the entire signal. The sliding and rotatable connection between the lifting post 3 and the fixed post 2 facilitates adjustment of the height and angle of the signal body 5, improving the applicability of the signal.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the manually adjustable and height-adjustable high-mast signal also includes a locking component. The fixed mast 2 has a first cavity inside, and the lifting mast 3 is slidably connected to the first cavity. The locking component is used to lock the lifting mast 3 to the fixed mast 2 so that the lifting mast 3 is fixed in the working position. The locking component ensures that the lifting mast 3 can be firmly fixed in the working position after being adjusted to a suitable position, preventing the lifting mast 3 from moving due to external forces or vibrations, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the signal.

The first plug-in rod is snapped into one of the first limiting groove groups to fix the circumferential relative position of the fixed column 2 and the lifting column 3. The design of the first plug-in rod, the first plug-in hole group, and the first limiting groove group can firmly fix the fixed column 2 and the lifting column 3 in the vertical direction. At the same time, by snapping into different first limiting groove groups, the circumferential relative position of the lifting column 3 can be adjusted to achieve angle adjustment, which is simple and convenient to operate.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the number of first limiting slot groups is three, and the three first limiting slot groups are evenly arranged in the horizontal direction. The three evenly arranged first limiting slot groups can provide more angle adjustment options, enabling the signal controller to better adapt to different installation environments and signal display requirements.

The second plug-in rod is used to pass through the two corresponding second transverse through holes 6 and one second plug-in hole group to fix the fixed mast 2 and the lifting mast 3 in the vertical direction. The second plug-in rod is engaged in one of the second limiting groove groups 9 to fix the circumferential relative positions of the fixed mast 2 and the lifting mast 3. The provision of the second plug-in rod, the second plug-in holes, and the second limiting groove group 9 further enhances the fixing effect of the fixed mast 2 and the lifting mast 3 in the vertical direction, and also provides more ways to adjust the angle, improving the stability and flexibility of the signal.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, there are three second limiting slot groups 9, which are evenly arranged in the horizontal direction. Similar to the first limiting slot group, the three evenly arranged second limiting slot groups 9 increase the possibility of angle adjustment, enabling the signal to adjust the angle more accurately to meet different usage scenarios.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the first plug rod includes a first fixing bolt 7 and a first nut 8. The first fixing bolt 7 is threadedly fixed to the first nut 8 through two first transverse through holes and a first plug hole group. The second plug rod includes a second fixing bolt 10 and a second nut. The second fixing bolt 10 is threadedly fixed to the second nut through two second transverse through holes 6 and a second plug hole group. The connection is secure, easy to install and disassemble, and convenient for maintenance and adjustment.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the first transverse through hole and the second transverse through hole 6 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and the first transverse through hole and the second transverse through hole 6 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The structure is simple and can make the relative position between the lifting column 3 and the fixed column 2 more stable.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the manually adjustable and height-adjustable high-mast signal also includes a mounting base 4, which is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting column 3.
