Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guidance device technology, specifically a guidance device for urban public transportation planning. Background Technology

[0002] Urban public transportation planning guidance devices are specially installed in urban public transportation-related locations, such as bus stops, subway stations, transfer hubs, and transportation stations, to provide passengers with comprehensive, accurate, and real-time public transportation travel information. These devices assist passengers in conveniently planning travel routes, understanding real-time vehicle dynamics, and grasping transfer details, while also helping to improve the efficiency and orderliness of urban public transportation operation and management. These include public transportation signs, which typically display basic public transportation information such as public stop names, operating hours, and fares, helping passengers understand public transportation routes and basic travel information, thus playing a guiding role.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application CN202220033669.0, which discloses a guidance device for intelligent public transportation. The device includes a support rod with multiple sets of fixing ring assemblies interference-fitted onto its surface. Each fixing ring assembly has a clamping assembly fitted onto its surface, and a fixing component is mounted on the clamping assembly. A display panel is hinged to the clamping assembly at a position away from the fixing component. A positioning component is threaded through the clamping assembly. This invention eliminates the need to consider the installation direction during use; the direction can be adjusted and the device positioned after installation. This makes installation convenient, time-saving, and highly efficient.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following drawbacks: While the existing technologies allow for direction adjustment after installing support rods, in practical use, at some relatively open bus stops with less pedestrian traffic, the signage height may be slightly higher, approaching 2.5 meters. This reduces the possibility of accidental obstruction by passing pedestrians or parked vehicles, ensuring the visibility of the displayed information. However, when maintaining or repairing these taller signs, since the top is usually inaccessible to most people, maintenance personnel must use aerial work platforms, such as ladders or aerial ladders, for high-altitude operations. This process is not only cumbersome but also poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, it is essential to design a practical and easy-to-maintain guidance device for urban public transportation planning. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4The present invention provides a technical solution: a guiding device for urban public transportation planning, including a support rod 1, an installation cylinder 2 slidably fitted on the outer side of the support rod 1, a plurality of indicator marks 3 provided on the installation cylinder 2, a sliding opening 4 opened on the support rod 1, a guide block 5 slidably fitted on the inner wall of the sliding opening 4 and fixedly connected to the installation cylinder 2, a limiting block 6 fixedly connected to one side of the guide block 5, and a first toothed plate 7 fixedly connected to one side of the limiting block 6;

[0023] The support rod 1 has an operating port 8 located below the sliding port 4. A sealing block 9 that slidably fits with the operating port 8 is provided on the inner wall of the support rod 1. A second toothed plate 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing block 9. A transmission assembly 11 is provided on the inner wall of the support rod 1. A fixing assembly 12 that mates with the support rod 1 is provided on the other side of the sealing block 9. The sealing block 9 fits snugly against the inner wall of the support rod 1. During use, the operating port 8 can be sealed and protected. The entire exterior of the equipment is coated with anti-corrosion paint.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 The transmission assembly 11 includes a transmission rod 111 rotatably fitted on the inner wall of the support rod 1 and a central gear 112 fixedly connected to the transmission rod 111. The central gear 112 meshes with the first toothed plate 7 and the second toothed plate 10. When the second toothed plate 10 moves upward, it will drive the central gear 112 and the transmission rod 111 to rotate, thereby causing the first toothed plate 7 on the side away from the second toothed plate 10 to move in the opposite direction.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 The fixing component 12 includes an outer block 121 fixedly connected to one side of the sealing block 9 and slidingly engaged with the operating port 8, a locking plate 122 fixedly connected to one side of the outer block 121, a connecting bolt 123 threadedly engaged with the locking plate 122, and a threaded groove 124 formed on the support rod 1 and engaged with the connecting bolt 123. By inserting the connecting bolt 123 into the threaded groove 124, the outer block 121 and the locking plate 122 can be fixed, thereby fixing the sealing block 9 and the second toothed plate 10. Under the action of the transmission component 11, the first toothed plate 7, the limiting block 6, and the mounting cylinder 2 are fixed.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 The upper end of the support rod 1 is fixedly connected to the top cover 13. The top cover 13 has multiple guide ports 14 on its upper side. The upper side of the mounting cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to multiple guide rods 15 that cooperate with the guide ports 14. When the mounting cylinder 2 moves to the uppermost side, its guide rods 15 will be inserted into the guide ports 14, which can limit the mounting cylinder 2. When subjected to wind force, the guiding device will bear the corresponding lateral force. The guide rods 15 will bear some lateral force in the guide ports 14, thereby improving the bearing capacity after being subjected to wind force.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 The inner wall of the support rod 1 is provided with a sliding groove 16. The inner wall of the sliding groove 16 is slidably fitted with a sliding block 17 that is fixedly connected to the sealing block 9. When the sealing block 9 moves up and down, the sliding block 17 will slide in the corresponding sliding groove 16, thereby guiding the sealing block 9 and improving the stability of the sealing block 9 when it moves.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 Two load-bearing blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the support rod 1. Buffer pads 19 are fixedly connected to the upper side of each load-bearing block 18. In the maintenance state, when the mounting cylinder 2 is lowered to its lowest position, the bottom of the mounting cylinder 2 will contact the buffer pads 19 on the load-bearing blocks 18. The buffer pads 19 are usually made of rubber or elastic material, which can prevent the mounting cylinder 2 from rigidly colliding with the load-bearing blocks 18, reducing mechanical damage and noise.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 The lower end of the support rod 1 is fixedly connected to a base 20. The base 20 has multiple fixing holes 21. When installed in a location with high traffic volume and clear guidance, such as near a bus stop, subway station entrance, or transportation hub, anchor bolts or other connecting parts are inserted into the fixing holes 21 of the base 20, and then it is reliably connected to the ground (usually a concrete-poured ground), so that the entire device can be firmly fixed in the corresponding position.

[0030] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: In use, the base 20 is connected to the ground at the corresponding position, and the support rod 1 is fixed at the corresponding position. When it is necessary to install or replace the indicator 3, the connecting bolt 123 can be disengaged from the threaded groove 124 to release the restriction on the locking plate 122. The locking plate 122 and the outer block 121 move upward on the inner wall of the operating port 8, thereby driving the sealing block 9 and the second toothed plate 10 to move upward accordingly. Since the sealing block 9 meshes with the intermediate gear 112 on the transmission rod 111, it will drive the intermediate gear 112 to move upward. 12 rotates accordingly, causing the central gear 112 to move downwards toward the first toothed plate 7. The first toothed plate 7 then drives the limiting block 6 to move downwards again. The guide block 5 on one side of the limiting block 6 slides inside the sliding opening 4 to guide it. Since the limiting block 6 is fixed to the mounting cylinder 2, it drives the mounting cylinder 2 to move downwards, causing the mounting cylinder 2 and the indicator 3, which were originally located on the upper side, to move downwards and be lowered to a suitable position that is easy for workers to operate. This avoids the trouble of workers needing to use climbing equipment to work at heights, which not only improves the efficiency of maintenance but also reduces safety risks to a certain extent.

[0031] After maintenance or replacement and adjustment are completed, the locking plate 122 is pulled down to insert the connecting bolt 123 into the threaded groove 124 to fix the sealing block 9. When the locking plate 122 is pulled down, the second toothed plate 10 drives the central gear 112 to rotate again, so that the transmission component 11 pushes the mounting cylinder 2 to move in the opposite direction (upward) to reset the mounting cylinder 2. When the locking plate 122 is fixed, the mounting cylinder 2 is also fixed at the same time.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
