[0026] The terminology used in this invention refers to those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functionality of this invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent, precedent, or new technology of those skilled in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of this invention. Therefore, the terminology used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of this invention.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a signboard, which includes a sign unit 1. The sign unit 1 includes a first panel 11 and a second panel 12. The first panel 11 and the second panel 12 are rotatably engaged by a connecting rod 13. A torsion spring 14 is sleeved in the middle of the connecting rod 13. The torsion spring 14 is inserted into the first panel 11 and the second panel 12.
[0029] The connecting rod 13 connects the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. The torsion spring 14 controls the automatic opening of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, and also provides a constant pushing force to keep the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 opening after they have opened, ensuring that the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 do not wobble relative to each other and ensuring the stability of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 after they are fixed.
[0030] The first panel 11 and the second panel 12 are made of UV-resistant PVC or composite board, and safety signs can be printed or pasted on the same side of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12.
[0031] Specifically, two first connecting cylinders 111 are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the first panel 11, and two second connecting cylinders 121 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the second panel 12. The inner rings of the first connecting cylinders 111 and the first insertion hole 112 are adapted to the connecting rod 13.
[0032] By positioning the first connecting cylinder 111 and the second connecting cylinder 121 together, the first connecting cylinder 111 and the second connecting cylinder 121 are on the same central axis, allowing the connecting rod 13 to be placed smoothly.
[0033] Specifically, a first socket 112 is provided on one side of the first panel 11, and the distance between the first socket 112 and the nearest first connecting tube 111 is greater than the length of the second connecting tube 121. A second socket 122 is provided on one side of the second panel 12.
[0034] Furthermore, the length of the torsion spring 14 is less than the distance between the two second connecting cylinders 121. The torsion spring 14 is divided into a first end 141 and a second end 142, which are respectively inserted into the first insertion hole 112 and the second insertion hole 122.
[0035] By opening the first insertion hole 112 and the second insertion hole 122, the first end 141 and the second end 142 can be inserted and engaged. During the process of aligning the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, the torsion spring 14 needs to be placed in the middle of the two second connecting cylinders 121. Then, the first end 141 and the second end 142 are inserted into the first insertion hole 112 and the second insertion hole 122 respectively. The engagement between the two second connecting cylinders 121 and the first insertion hole 112 and the second insertion hole 122 can limit the position of the torsion spring 14. At the same time, the connecting rod 13 is inserted into the inner ring of the first connecting cylinder 111, the second connecting cylinder 121 and the torsion spring 14 to further fix the position of the first panel 11, the second panel 12 and the torsion spring 14.
[0036] Preferably, a third connecting cylinder can also be provided on the outer ring of the torsion spring. The third connecting cylinder is rotatably engaged with the torsion spring 14, and the length of the third connecting cylinder is less than the length of the torsion spring 14. The outer ring of the third connecting cylinder has the same diameter as the outer ring of the first connecting cylinder 111 and the second connecting cylinder 121, so that the first end 141 and the second end 142 of the torsion spring 14 are located outside the third connecting cylinder, preventing them from affecting the overall operation of the device. During use, the torsion spring 14 can also be protected from debris or from being corroded by rain, snow, etc., which would affect the normal operation of the device. At the same time, when the torsion spring 14 has a problem, it is also convenient to replace the torsion spring.
[0037] Specifically, a latch 123 is fixedly installed on the other side of the second panel 12, and the latch 123 makes the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 overlap.
[0038] Furthermore, the second panel 12 is symmetrically fixedly connected to two mounting rings 124 on the opposite side of the placement slot 15.
[0039] The latch 123 can be used to fix the first panel 11 and the second panel 12. When the device is not in use, the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 can be folded together so that the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 are stacked together. The latch 123 can be used to lock the two panels, ensuring that the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 are in the closed state. This can reduce the space occupied by storage and also protect the sign to a certain extent, preventing foreign objects from scratching it and causing damage to the sign.
[0040] By setting the mounting ring 124, the device can be stably installed in a suitable position, and the mounting ring 124 is located on one side of the second panel 12, which can avoid the problem of holes in the prior art damaging the integrity of the sign.
[0041] Specifically, baffles 16 are fixedly connected to the outer rings of the first connecting cylinder 111 and the second connecting cylinder 121.
[0042] By setting the baffle 16, when the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 rotate automatically via the torsion spring 14, the baffle 16 can limit the rotation of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, so that the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 rotate to a suitable angle. The specific shape and size of the baffle 16 can be changed according to the actual implementation.
[0043] When in use, firstly, print or affix safety signs or warning signs on the side of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 opposite to the mounting ring 124. After completion, during installation, first pass the cable tie through the mounting ring 124, then close the first panel 11 and the second panel 12. Then, select a suitable position on the fence, pass the cable tie through the mesh or crossbar on the fence, and fix the device to the fence. After fixing, release the locking buckle 123 from the first panel 11 and the second panel 12. Then, through the action of the torsion spring 14, the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 will unfold and can be used normally.
[0044] When not in use, remove or cut the cable ties, close the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, and then secure them with the buckle 123. This reduces storage space, makes it easy to carry, and provides some protection for the labels that are pasted or printed inside. Before closing, the label area can also be cleaned to ensure that the labels are safer during storage.
[0045] Example 2
[0046] Reference Figures 5-6This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that: it also includes a placement groove 15 on the same side of the first panel 11 and the second panel 12, and the opening side of the placement groove 15 is chamfered.
[0047] With the opening of the placement slot 15 and the first panel 11 on the surface of the placement slot 15 being made of transparent material, the contents of the placement mark placed in the placement slot 15 can be clearly observed. The chamfer setting provides a gentle slope when placing or taking out the mark, making the operation smoother for the staff.
[0048] Specifically, the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 are respectively provided with corresponding first groove 151 and second groove 152 in the placement groove 15.
[0049] Furthermore, the shortest distance between the chamfer and the bottom of the placement slot 15 is h, and h is not 0.
[0050] The first groove 151 and the second groove 152 provide space for staff to place or remove the labels, making it easier for staff to operate.
[0051] According to Figure 6 As shown, the distance between the chamfer and the surface of the second panel 12 increases as the chamfer approaches the placement slot 15, while the shortest distance of the chamfer is h. The chamfer provides conditions for placing or removing the sign, and at the same time, the shortest distance between the chamfer and the bottom surface of the placement slot 15 can provide a blocking effect for the sign placed in the placement slot 15.
[0052] Furthermore, the height of h can be set according to the specific usage and the hardness of the sign. When the height of h is small, a sign plate with less curvature and higher hardness can be used. This will not only increase the service life of the sign, but also not affect the process of installing the sign plate in the placement slot 15 or taking it out.
[0053] As the curvature of the signboard increases and its hardness decreases, the height of h can be increased. Since the hardness is low, it is easy to bend. Setting h higher can stably block the signboard and prevent it from falling out of the placement slot 15 automatically. However, the maximum height of h should be less than the thickness of the placement slot 15 to ensure that the signboard can be placed and removed normally.
[0054] The rest of the structure is the same as in the previous embodiment.
[0055] Example 3
[0056] Reference Figures 1-6This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous two embodiments, this embodiment provides a sign and a fence, which includes a fence and a sign unit 1 is installed on the surface of the fence by the cooperation of a cable tie and a mounting ring 124.
[0057] When in use, the fence can be set up to isolate or protect a part of the area, and the device installed on the fence can alert people to the danger of the area or provide them with guidance or instructions.
[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of this utility model.
