Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signpost technology, and in particular to an adjustable height highway signpost. Background Technology
[0002] For road traffic safety, it is generally necessary to install road traffic safety signs at designated locations to remind and warn people on site. When installing road traffic signs, bolts are usually used to fix the signs to the posts. However, in some places where it is inconvenient to operate the signs from a height, such as dangerous areas like bridges, it is time-consuming, laborious and inconvenient to install or replace the signs later. In such cases, adjustable sign poles are used.
[0003] An existing type of easy-to-install highway traffic safety sign (Announcement No.: CN222294764U) has at least the following drawbacks:
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, stepless height adjustment is achieved through the design of slide grooves and rollers, which improves maintenance efficiency compared to traditional fixed signs. The mechanical locking of the locking gears and the cooperation of spring preload can withstand continuous loads from strong winds. However, the signs are only installed in front of the supporting steel frame, which cannot meet the requirements for side installation. At the same time, the manual rotation of the turntable lacks a deceleration mechanism, which can only raise and lower some small signs. Furthermore, when operating the lifting mechanism, the turntable and locking mechanism must be operated simultaneously, which poses a safety hazard for single-person operation. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an adjustable height highway signpost to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an adjustable height highway signpost.

The second steel wire rope is wound around the outer circular wall of the winding drum and passes through the rectangular through hole to be fixedly installed with the movable compartment. A worm gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer circular wall of the winding drum. A fixing frame is fixedly installed on one side of the support tube. A worm is movably sleeved inside the fixing frame. The worm meshes with the worm gear.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a guide wheel is fixedly installed on one side of the support tube, and the second steel wire rope is laid on the guide wheel.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two limiting posts are fixedly installed on the top surface of the support tube, and two first limiting holes are opened on the top surface of the mobile compartment. The first limiting holes are movably connected with the limiting posts, and two limiting plates are fixedly installed on one side of the support tube. The limiting plates are fixedly installed with the limiting posts.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a second limiting hole is provided on the top surface of the limiting plate, and the first steel wire rope is movably connected to the second limiting hole.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a protective cover is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support tube, and a guide plate is fixedly installed on one side of the protective cover.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the movable plate is movably connected to the connecting hole of the card holder, a number of nuts are threaded on the outside of the movable plate, a number of rectangular grooves are opened on the outside of the movable plate, and a number of rolling wheels are fixedly installed inside the rectangular grooves.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two threaded columns are fixedly installed on one side of the support tube, and a protective chamber is provided on one side of the support tube.

Bolts are threadedly connected to the inner circular wall of the threaded grooves, and the bolts are threadedly connected to the threaded hole.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. By using the support pipe, card holder, moving plate, roller support frame, first wire rope, and moving compartment in coordination, the height of the card holder can be adjusted. The counterweight balancing system reduces the rotational resistance of the winding drum. With the cooperation of the roller support frame and the first wire rope, the moving plate and card holder reach the target height.

It also includes an adjustment assembly located inside the support tube 1 for adjusting the height of the sign holder 2. The adjustment assembly includes two movable plates 3, both movably fitted inside the support tube 1. A roller support frame 4 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the support tube 1. Two first steel wire ropes 5 are fixedly mounted on the top surface of the movable plates 3, resting on the rollers of the roller support frame 4. A movable support frame 4 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the first steel wire ropes 5. The moving chamber 6 has a second steel wire rope 8 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the movable plate 3 located at the bottom. The support pipe 1 has a first circular through hole on each side. The inner circular wall of the first circular through hole is movably sleeved with a winding drum 7. The support pipe 1 has a rectangular through hole on one side. The second steel wire rope 8 is wound around the outer circular wall of the winding drum 7 and passes through the rectangular through hole and is fixedly installed with the moving chamber 6. The outer circular wall of the winding drum 7 is fixedly sleeved with a worm gear 9. The support pipe 1 has a fixed frame 10 fixedly installed on one side. The fixed frame 10 has a worm 11 movably sleeved inside, and the worm 11 meshes with the worm gear 9.
[0031] In use, unscrew nut 21 and remove protective chamber 20 from one side of support tube 1. Unscrew bolt 23 from inside threaded groove 24 to release the worm gear 9. Use an electric wrench to turn worm 11 (its end is pre-designed as a hexagonal prism structure). The rotating worm 11 drives worm gear 9 and winding drum 7 to rotate, winding and unwinding the second wire rope 8 (part of the second wire rope 8 is wrapped around the outside of winding drum 7). The second wire rope 8 pulls moving plate 3, which, supported by rolling wheel 22, moves card holder 2 downward. At the same time, moving chamber 6 and counterweight move upward. The counterweight balance system reduces the rotational resistance of winding drum 7. With the cooperation of roller support frame 4 and first wire rope 5, moving plate 3 and card holder 2 reach the target height. The deceleration and self-locking structure allow only worm 11 to be rotated. The self-locking structure ensures safety, and the use of an electric wrench saves manpower.
[0032] In this embodiment, a guide wheel 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the support pipe 1, and the second steel wire rope 8 is laid on the guide wheel 14. Two limiting posts 12 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the support pipe 1. Two first limiting holes 13 are opened on the top surface of the movable compartment 6. The first limiting holes 13 are movably connected to the limiting posts 12. Two limiting plates 17 are fixedly installed on one side of the support pipe 1. The limiting plates 17 are fixedly installed to the limiting posts 12. A second limiting hole 18 is opened on the top surface of the limiting plate 17. The first steel wire rope 5 is movably connected to the second limiting hole 18.
[0033] In use, the limiting post 12 and the first limiting hole 13 cooperate to limit the movement trajectory of the moving chamber 6 and prevent shaking.
[0034] In this embodiment, a protective cover 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support pipe 1, a guide plate 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the protective cover 15, the movable plate 3 is movably connected to the connecting hole of the card holder 2, several nuts are threaded to the outside of the movable plate 3, several rectangular grooves are opened on the outside of the movable plate 3, several rolling wheels 22 are fixedly installed inside the rectangular grooves, two threaded columns 19 are fixedly installed on one side of the support pipe 1, a protective chamber 20 is provided on one side of the support pipe 1, the connecting hole of the protective chamber 20 is movably connected to the threaded column 19, a nut 21 is threaded to the outer circular wall of the threaded column 19, a threaded hole is opened on one side of the fixed frame 10, several threaded grooves 24 are opened on one side of the worm gear 9, a bolt 23 is threaded to the inner circular wall of the threaded groove 24, and the bolt 23 is threaded to the threaded hole.
[0035] In use, the first wire rope 5 is limited by the cooperation of the limiting plate 17 and the second limiting hole 18 to prevent it from falling off the roller support frame 4. The protective cover 15 and the guide plate 16 form a protective layer on the top of the support pipe 1 to reduce rainwater erosion. The rolling wheel 22 reduces the frictional resistance when the moving plate 3 moves.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:
[0037] When the user needs to adjust the height of the card holder 2 via the support tube 1, a counterweight (with a weight close to the overall weight of the card holder 2 and the moving plate 3, measured during production or installation) is placed inside the movable compartment 6. Nut 21 is loosened, and the protective compartment 20 is removed from one side of the support tube 1. Bolt 23 is unscrewed from the threaded groove 24 to release the worm gear 9. An electric wrench is used to turn the worm 11 (its end is pre-designed as a hexagonal prism). The rotating worm 11 drives the worm gear 9 and the winding drum 7 to rotate, winding and unwinding the second wire rope 8 (part of the second wire rope 8 is wrapped around the outside of the winding drum 7). The second wire rope 8 pulls the moving plate 3, causing the card holder 2 to move downwards under the support of the rolling wheel 22. Simultaneously, the movable compartment 6 and the counterweight move upwards. The counterweight balancing system reduces the rotational resistance of the winding drum 7. The roller support frame 4 and the first wire rope 5... With the cooperation of the moving plate 3 and the card holder 2, the moving plate 3 and the card holder 2 reach the target height. The deceleration and self-locking structure allows only the worm gear 11 to be rotated. The self-locking structure ensures safety. The use of an electric wrench saves manpower. The bolt 23 is screwed into the threaded groove 24 to fix the worm wheel 9, and the adjustment is completed. The reset operation is performed in reverse order of the above process, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the height of the card holder 2. The rotational resistance of the winding drum 7 is reduced by the counterweight balance system. With the cooperation of the roller support frame 4 and the first wire rope 5, the moving plate 3 and the card holder 2 reach the target height. The deceleration and self-locking structure allow only the worm gear 11 to be rotated without other operations. No multiple people are required to operate, saving manpower. At the same time, the self-locking structure ensures safety and realizes side installation. Finally, the bolt 23 is screwed into the threaded groove 24 to fix the worm wheel 9, ensuring safety. It is quite practical.
