Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road sign technology, and more specifically to an aluminum alloy road sign that is easy to identify at night. Background Technology
[0002] Road signs, also known as road traffic signs, are traffic facilities that use graphics, symbols, text, and lines to represent specific management content and behavioral rules. Road signs have multiple functions, such as providing road users with information on road direction, location, distance, and road conditions to help them plan their trips and choose the correct routes, enabling them to reach their destinations smoothly even in unfamiliar areas; through prohibitory and directional signs, they clearly define the rules of passage for vehicles and pedestrians, such as prohibiting overtaking, U-turns, and driving in designated lanes, which helps maintain traffic order and reduce traffic conflicts and accidents; road warning signs can inform road users in advance of potential dangers ahead, such as sharp turns, steep slopes, and narrow bridges, prompting them to take measures such as slowing down and driving cautiously, thereby improving driving safety.
[0003] For example, the road sign with prior art publication number CN218540495U features a column with several rows of evenly distributed slots. Each slot contains a square pyramid, and a spring is fixedly connected to the pyramid at both ends. A limiting sleeve has several closely arranged connecting sleeves that fit onto the column. One side of each connecting sleeve has a through hole that matches the slot, preventing the road sign from being easily changed in direction by external force. A light is installed at the top of the column to help read the road sign at night.
[0004] However, the existing technology described above still has the following problems in use: Traditional aluminum alloy road signs are installed on the roadside for a long time to serve a warning function. Vehicles kick up dust and impurities during driving, which adhere to the surface of the road signs. While this provides a certain warning effect during the day, at night, the obscured road signs are not clearly visible and are difficult to identify, thus reducing nighttime driving safety. Therefore, this utility model provides an aluminum alloy road sign that is easier to identify at night. Utility Model Content

By placing an luminous LED light panel on the aluminum alloy sign, it is easy for drivers to identify at night, providing a high level of warning. Furthermore, a waterproof electric push rod drives a cleaning brush and a long plate to automatically rise and fall while spraying water and scraping, which can automatically remove dust and impurities adhering to the surface of the LED light panel. This avoids dust and impurities affecting the display effect of the LED light panel at night, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an aluminum alloy road sign that is easy to identify at night, comprising an aluminum alloy signboard, wherein an installation groove is provided at the front end of the aluminum alloy signboard, an LED light panel is fixedly installed inside the installation groove, a support assembly is fixedly installed at the bottom of the aluminum alloy signboard, the support assembly comprises an aluminum alloy support column, the aluminum alloy support column has a cavity for water storage inside, a filter plate and a cover plate are detachably connected to the top of the aluminum alloy support column, a waterproof electric push rod is fixedly inserted through the cover plate, a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the top of the piston rod of the waterproof electric push rod, and a cleaning brush plate is detachably connected to the top of the connecting plate.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning brush plate includes a plate body, on the side of the plate body near the aluminum alloy signboard, a plurality of steel wire brushes are fixedly provided for scraping the surface of the LED light board. The plurality of steel wire brushes contact the surface of the LED light board, thereby automatically scraping away dust and impurities from its surface.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the LED light panel is set in an arrow shape, which facilitates the driver to quickly identify directional information and improves driving safety.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the long plate has a water cavity communicating with multiple nozzles inside, and each nozzle has a filter screen fixed inside. The filter screen inside the nozzle can filter dust and impurities, preventing dust and impurities from clogging the nozzle and water cavity.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a submersible pump is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the cavity. The outlet pipe of the submersible pump is connected to the water cavity through a flexible hose. The submersible pump is located on one side of the waterproof electric push rod. The submersible pump is used to draw rainwater collected in the water cavity and use the rainwater for rinsing, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the LED light panel.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the aluminum alloy sign is detachably connected to a solar panel. Based on the photoelectric effect, the solar panel can directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy, thus playing a role in energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a battery compartment is fixedly embedded at the rear end of the aluminum alloy sign, and a storage battery is installed inside the battery compartment. The storage battery stores a large amount of electrical energy, and the LED light panel can be illuminated without the need to lay cables.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the aluminum alloy support column is provided with a plurality of fixing holes, which are arranged in a circular array at the bottom of the aluminum alloy support column. The provision of multiple fixing holes facilitates the use of multiple bolts to fix the aluminum alloy support column, thereby improving the stability of the aluminum alloy support column.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model places an luminous LED light panel on an aluminum alloy sign, which makes it easy for drivers to identify at night and has a high warning effect. It also uses a waterproof electric push rod to drive a cleaning brush and a long plate to automatically rise and fall while spraying water and scraping, which can automatically remove dust and impurities adhering to the surface of the LED light panel, thereby preventing dust and impurities from affecting the display effect of the LED light panel at night.
[0016] 2. By installing a filter plate on the top of the aluminum alloy support column, rainwater flows through the filter plate into the cavity for collection, and can be directly used to wash aluminum alloy signs and LED light panels, achieving the effect of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0025] 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. Example 1
[0026] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an aluminum alloy road sign that is easy to identify at night, including an aluminum alloy sign 1. The aluminum alloy sign 1 has high strength and good corrosion resistance, which can improve the service life of the aluminum alloy sign 1. The front end of the aluminum alloy sign 1 is provided with a mounting groove 2, and an LED light board 3 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 2. The cross section of the LED light board 3 is set in an arrow shape.
[0027] Next, a support assembly 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the aluminum alloy sign 1. The support assembly 4 includes an aluminum alloy support column 41. The aluminum alloy support column 41 has a cavity 42 for water storage inside. A filter plate 43 and a cover plate 44 are detachably connected to the top of the aluminum alloy support column 41. A waterproof electric push rod 45 is fixedly inserted through the cover plate 44. A connecting plate 46 is fixedly installed at the top of the piston rod of the waterproof electric push rod 45.
[0028] The top of the connecting plate 46 is detachably connected to a cleaning brush plate 5. Specifically, the cleaning brush plate 5 includes a plate body 51. Multiple steel wire brushes 52 are fixedly provided on the surface of the plate body 51 near the aluminum alloy sign 1 for scraping the surface of the LED light panel 3.
[0029] When used at night, the LED beads inside the LED light panel 3 illuminate, making it easier for drivers to identify at night and thus improving the warning effect. During use, the waterproof electric push rod 45 extends to drive the connecting plate 46 to rise. The connecting plate 46 drives the cleaning brush plate 5 to rise. The steel wire brush 52 on the surface of the cleaning brush plate 5 51 contacts the surfaces of the aluminum alloy sign 1 and the LED light panel 3, thereby scraping away dust and impurities from both surfaces. This prevents dust and impurities from blocking the brightness of the LED light panel 3 and affecting its display effect. Example 2
[0030] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-5 The cleaning brush plate 5 has a long plate 6 fixedly installed on its top. The long plate 6 has a water cavity 8 that communicates with multiple nozzles 7 inside. Multiple nozzles 7 are opened on the side of the long plate 6 near the aluminum alloy nameplate 1. Each nozzle 7 has a filter screen 9 fixedly installed inside. The bottom wall of the cavity 42 is fixedly equipped with a submersible pump 10. The submersible pump 10 is a water pumping device that can be completely submerged underwater. It generates centrifugal force by driving the impeller to rotate through a motor to realize the transportation of liquid (such as water). The water outlet pipe of the submersible pump 10 is connected to the water cavity 8 through a hose 11. The submersible pump 10 is located on one side of the waterproof electric push rod 45.
[0031] By installing a filter plate 43 on the top of the aluminum alloy support column 41, rainwater can be collected by filtering the rainwater. Then, a submersible pump 10 is used to draw water from the cavity 42. The water is then transported through a hose 11 to the water cavity 8 inside the long plate 6, and then sprayed onto the aluminum alloy sign 1 and LED light panel 3 by multiple nozzles 7. The water is sprayed and brushed at the same time, realizing automatic cleaning of the aluminum alloy sign 1 and LED light panel 3. The cleaning effect is high, and at the same time, it can also achieve the effect of energy saving and environmental protection.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a solar panel 12 is detachably connected to the top of the aluminum alloy sign 1, and a battery compartment 13 is fixedly embedded at the rear end of the aluminum alloy sign 1. The battery compartment 13 contains a storage battery. The solar panel 12 can convert solar energy into electrical energy, thereby saving energy. At the same time, the storage battery can store a large amount of electrical energy, which can avoid the need for laying wires to a certain extent, and the installation is very quick.
[0033] The aluminum alloy support column 41 has a number of fixing holes 14 on its bottom surface. The fixing holes 14 are arranged in a ring array at the bottom of the aluminum alloy support column 41. In actual use, fastening bolts are used to pass through the fixing holes 14 to fix it to the ground, thereby improving the stability of the aluminum alloy support column 41.
[0034] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
