Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of delineator technology, and in particular relates to a weather-resistant enhanced delineator. Background Technology

[0002] Delineators are an important road traffic facility, usually installed on the edges of roads, guardrails, tunnels, bridges, etc., to indicate road boundaries, directions, curves, lane changes, etc., helping drivers to clearly identify road outlines in poor visibility conditions (such as at night, in rain, snow, or fog), thus improving driving safety.

[0003] However, delineators are usually used to reflect vehicle lights to convey road linearity information. But some low-grade roads (such as rural roads, county and township roads), urban secondary roads, branch roads, mixed traffic roads (such as scenic roads, factory roads) or small bridges may have cyclists and pedestrians. If only the reflected vehicle lights are used, these two types of pedestrians may not be able to clearly identify the road outline through the delineator, which may pose a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a weather-resistant enhanced delineator that can reflect vehicle lights and simultaneously assist pedestrians in clearly identifying road outlines through self-illumination.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, comprising:

[0006] The bracket has a reflector attached to the side and is used to fix the delineator to the guardrail as a whole.

[0007] The light-emitting unit is installed in the bracket, and both the bracket and the reflector are provided with slots for the light from the light-emitting unit to pass through.

[0008] A power supply unit, mounted on a bracket, is used to power the light-emitting unit;

[0009] The housing, attached to the bracket, is made of transparent material and encloses the reflector.

[0010] In the above technical solution, further:

[0011] The light-emitting unit includes a lamp housing and an LED light strip, and the lamp housing is adapted to the through slot;

[0012] Both the lamp housing and the through slot are arrow-shaped.

[0013] In the above technical solution, further:

[0014] A reflector includes a substrate and a reflective layer located on the surface of the substrate;

[0015] The substrate has multiple arc-shaped grooves, which are arranged at intervals along the horizontal and vertical directions, and a horizontal portion is formed between each pair of adjacent arc-shaped grooves.

[0016] In the above technical solution, further:

[0017] A sealing gasket is provided between the housing and the reflector.

[0018] In the above technical solution, further:

[0019] The surface of the casing is covered with a transparent film that resists ultraviolet rays.

[0020] In the above technical solution, further:

[0021] The power supply unit includes a solar panel and a battery, with the solar panel mounted on the surface of the bracket and the battery installed inside the bracket.

[0022] In the above technical solution, further:

[0023] The bracket has ventilation slots on both sides of the solar panel.

[0024] In the above technical solution, further:

[0025] The bracket has multiple heat dissipation fins located between two ventilation slots inside, and the two ends of the ventilation slots formed between adjacent heat dissipation fins are respectively connected to the two ventilation slots.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] 1. By installing reflectors on the bracket, it is easy to reflect the lights of vehicles. At the same time, it can emit light on its own through the light-emitting unit, thereby meeting the safety requirements of vehicles with their own light sources and bicycles or pedestrians without their own light sources. It also makes it easier to clearly see the road outline in poor visibility conditions (such as at night, in rain, snow, or fog), thus improving safety.

[0028] 2. By adopting an arrow shape for the light-emitting unit, the self-illuminating outline is more recognizable, making it easier for cyclists and pedestrians to understand the meaning represented by the light-emitting unit, thereby further improving safety.

[0029] 3. By setting the reflector to have multiple arc-shaped grooves spaced apart in the horizontal and vertical directions, and forming a horizontal section between each pair of adjacent arc-shaped grooves, the diffuse reflection effect of the reflector can be improved, the visibility of the delineator can be enhanced, and the glare caused by strong light sources such as vehicle headlights can be reduced, further improving traffic safety. On the other hand, the formation of the horizontal section can also avoid excessive impact on the reflection intensity. Through the hybrid reflection mode combining diffuse reflection and directional reflection, traffic safety can be effectively guaranteed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] This embodiment provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, including:

[0039] The bracket 1 has a reflector 2 attached to its side and is used to fix the delineator to the guardrail 3 as a whole.

[0040] The light-emitting unit 4 is installed in the bracket 1, and both the bracket 1 and the reflector 2 are provided with through slots 5 for transmitting light from the light-emitting unit 4.

[0041] The power supply unit 6 is mounted on the bracket 1 and is used to supply power to the light-emitting unit 4;

[0042] The housing 7 is connected to the bracket 1 and is made of transparent material, and it encloses the reflector 2 inside;

[0043] The bracket 1 is made of metal, such as stainless steel, while the housing 7 is made of plastic, such as PC (polycarbonate).

[0044] As can be seen from this embodiment, by setting a reflector 2 on the bracket 1, it is easy to reflect the vehicle's lights. At the same time, it can also emit light autonomously through the light-emitting unit 4, thereby meeting the safety requirements for vehicles with autonomous light sources and bicycles or pedestrians without autonomous light sources. It is also convenient to clearly understand the road outline under poor visibility conditions (such as at night, in rain, snow, or fog), thus improving safety.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] This embodiment provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features:

[0047] The light-emitting unit 4 includes a lamp housing and an LED light strip, and the lamp housing is adapted to the through groove 5;

[0048] The lamp housing and the through groove 5 are both arrow-shaped, and the size of the lamp housing and the through groove 5 is less than 1 / 5 of the size of the reflector 2. The specific structure of the LED light strip is existing technology, while the lamp housing can be made of PC (polycarbonate) material.

[0049] At the same time, the bolts are passed through the housing 7, reflector 2 and lamp housing in sequence and then locked with nuts.

[0050] As can be seen from this embodiment, by adopting the arrow shape for the light-emitting unit 4, the self-illuminating outline is more recognizable, making it easier for cyclists and pedestrians to understand the meaning represented by the light-emitting unit 4, thereby further improving safety. The lamp housing and the through groove 5 not only ensure the installation of the LED light strip, but also improve the convenience of shaping and displaying the arrow shape.

[0051] By limiting the size of the lamp housing and the through slot 5, the reflective area on the reflector 2 is prevented from being too small, thus ensuring the reflective performance of the delineator.

[0052] Example 3:

[0053] This embodiment provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features:

[0054] The reflector 2 includes a substrate 20 and a reflective layer 21 located on the surface of the substrate 20;

[0055] The substrate 20 has a plurality of arc-shaped grooves 22, which are arranged at intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions, and a horizontal portion 23 is formed between two adjacent arc-shaped grooves 22.

[0056] The substrate 20 can be made of PP (polypropylene), while the reflective layer 21 can be made of reflective film or reflective coating.

[0057] As can be seen from this embodiment, by setting the reflector 2 to have multiple arc-shaped grooves 22 arranged at intervals along the horizontal and vertical directions, and forming a horizontal part 23 between each pair of adjacent arc-shaped grooves 22, on the one hand, the diffuse reflection effect of the reflector 2 can be improved, the visibility of the outline can be improved, and the glare caused by strong light sources such as vehicle headlights can be reduced, further improving the safety of passage. On the other hand, the formation of the horizontal part 23 can avoid having too much impact on the reflection intensity. Through the hybrid reflection mode combining diffuse reflection and directional reflection, the safety of passage can be effectively guaranteed.

[0058] The use of substrate 20 and reflective layer 21 facilitates the forming of multiple arc grooves 22 and improves the processing convenience of reflector 2.

[0059] Example 4:

[0060] This embodiment provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features:

[0061] A sealing gasket 8 is provided between the housing 7 and the reflector 2;

[0062] Among them, the sealing gasket 8 can be made of rubber.

[0063] As can be seen from this embodiment, by setting the sealing gasket 8, rainwater or moisture can be prevented from seeping into the surface of the reflector 2, thereby affecting the diffuse or directional reflection of the reflector 2, ensuring the indication effect of the delineator, and improving traffic safety.

[0064] Example 5:

[0065] This embodiment provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features:

[0066] The surface of the casing 7 is covered with an anti-ultraviolet transparent film 9;

[0067] Among them, the UV-resistant film can be made of UV-resistant PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film.

[0068] As can be seen from this embodiment, by attaching an anti-ultraviolet transparent film 9, such as an anti-UV PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film, to the surface of the housing 7, the weather resistance of the housing 7 can be effectively improved while ensuring light transmittance, thus extending the service life of the delineator when used outdoors.

[0069] Example 6:

[0070] This embodiment provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features:

[0071] The power supply unit 6 includes a solar panel and a battery, with the solar panel mounted on the surface of the bracket 1 and the battery mounted inside the bracket 1;

[0072] One approach involves setting up a circuit board with a photosensitive element on it, causing the LED light strip to emit light autonomously only at night. The specific structures of the circuit board, photosensitive element, solar panel, and battery are all existing technologies, known to those skilled in the art from conventional devices, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0073] As can be seen from this embodiment, by using a solar panel and a battery in the power supply unit 6, the power supply time and the light emission time of the LED light strip can be effectively extended, thus extending the service life.

[0074] The circuit board is electrically connected to the photosensitive element, solar panel, battery and LED light strip. The photosensitive element detects the intensity of ambient light and controls the LED light strip to turn on automatically when the light is insufficient.

[0075] Example 7:

[0076] This embodiment provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features:

[0077] The bracket 1 has ventilation slots 10 on both sides of the solar panel.

[0078] As can be seen from this embodiment, by opening ventilation grooves 10 on both sides of the solar panel in the bracket 1, the heat dissipation effect of the solar panel can be improved, the possibility of damage to the solar panel in hot seasons can be reduced, and the service life of the solar panel can be effectively extended.

[0079] Example 8:

[0080] This embodiment provides a weather-resistant enhanced delineator, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features:

[0081] The bracket 1 has multiple heat dissipation fins 11 located between two ventilation slots 10 inside, and the two ends of the ventilation slots 12 formed between adjacent heat dissipation fins 11 are respectively connected to the two ventilation slots 10.

[0082] Multiple heat dissipation fins 11 can be made of heat dissipation aluminum profiles and can be installed inside the bracket 1 at positions corresponding to the back side of the solar panel by means of bolts or adhesive, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and improving manufacturing convenience.

[0083] As can be seen from this embodiment, by using a heat-dissipating aluminum profile with multiple heat dissipation fins 11 and connecting the ventilation groove 12 formed between the multiple heat dissipation fins 11 with the air vent, the ventilation groove 12 and the ventilation inside and outside the bracket 1 are kept consistent, thus effectively ensuring the heat dissipation effect.
