Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic warning facilities, and more specifically, to a traffic cone with high stability for traffic guidance. Background Technology

[0002] Traffic cones, also known as cone-shaped traffic signs or road markers, are generally cone-shaped or cylindrical temporary road markings. They are typically used to alert road users during construction projects or in the event of an accident, ensuring the safety of construction workers and road users. They can also be used for traffic diversion, separating or merging pedestrian and vehicle traffic. However, traditional traffic cones still have the following drawbacks in practical use:

[0003] Traditional traffic cones tend to tip over even in light winds or due to airflow from passing vehicles, failing to create an effective safety barrier. Furthermore, when tipped over, their reflective strips face the ground, making them difficult for drivers to see at night. Fallen cones can also become road obstructions, necessitating dedicated personnel to patrol and straighten them, increasing labor costs. Therefore, a more stable type of traffic cone is proposed for traffic management. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that traditional traffic cones tend to tip over under slight wind or airflow when vehicles pass by, preventing them from forming an effective safety barrier. Furthermore, when they tip over, the reflective strips face the ground, making them difficult for drivers to see at night. The fallen traffic cones can also become road obstructions, thus requiring dedicated personnel to patrol and straighten them, which increases labor costs.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] The present invention is as follows: a traffic cone with strong stability for traffic management, comprising a traffic cone body, wherein a stabilizing mechanism for improving the stability of the traffic cone body is provided at the bottom of the traffic cone body;

[0007] The stabilizing mechanism includes a base fixedly connected to the bottom of the traffic cone body. The bottom of the base is provided with anti-slip texture. The base has a sand storage chamber inside and a sand inlet hole at the top. The sand storage chamber and the sand inlet hole are connected.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, ventilation holes are provided on the side wall of the traffic cone body, and the number of ventilation holes is several and they are distributed circumferentially along the central axis of the traffic cone body.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the base has a through hole, and there are several holes distributed at the four corners of the base. The holes are threaded with ground nails.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the traffic cone body, and a through hole is provided on the side wall of the fixing block, the through hole penetrating the fixing block.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the side wall of the traffic cone body is provided with strip-shaped reflective strips, the number of the strip-shaped reflective strips is three, and they are evenly distributed along the height direction of the traffic cone body, and the width of the strip-shaped reflective strips is ≥5cm.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the traffic cone body is provided with reinforcing ribs inside.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the traffic cone body and the base are made of EVA.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. Through the stabilizing mechanism, the base increases the contact area between the traffic cone and the ground during use, improving the anti-overturning ability. The anti-slip texture on the bottom of the base enhances the friction between the traffic cone and the ground, preventing slippage. The sand storage chamber is opened inside the base. In windy environments, sand can be filled into the sand storage chamber through the sand inlet hole, increasing the weight of the traffic cone, lowering the center of gravity of the traffic cone, and improving the stability of the traffic cone.

[0016] 2. By using the set holes and ground nails, under the disturbance of airflow caused by strong winds or passing vehicles, the ground nails are screwed into the ground through the holes on slopes, bridge joints or soft ground, using mechanical fixing to resist horizontal wind force and prevent the traffic cone from being blown away, further improving the stability of the traffic cone body.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to illustrate some embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a traffic cone with strong stability for traffic management, including a traffic cone body 1, and a stabilizing mechanism 2 for improving the stability of the traffic cone body 1 is provided at the bottom of the traffic cone body 1.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the stabilizing mechanism 2 includes a base 201 fixedly connected to the bottom of the traffic cone body 1, providing basic support for the traffic cone body 1. The bottom of the base 201 has anti-slip textures 202 to increase the friction between the traffic cone body 1 and the ground. The base 201 has a sand storage chamber 203 inside and a sand inlet hole 204 at the top. The sand storage chamber 203 and the sand inlet hole 204 are connected. Sand is filled into the sand storage chamber 203 through the sand inlet hole 204, improving the stability of the traffic cone body 1 by utilizing gravity and the principle of lowering the center of gravity. In use, the uneven anti-slip textures 202 on the bottom of the base 201 increase the friction between the traffic cone body 1 and the ground, preventing the traffic cone body 1 from sliding on the ground. In areas with strong winds or heavy traffic, sand is filled into the sand storage chamber 203 through the sand inlet hole 204, increasing the overall weight of the traffic cone body 1, lowering its center of gravity, and improving stability.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, ventilation holes 3 are provided on the side wall of the traffic cone body 1. There are several ventilation holes 3 distributed circumferentially along the central axis of the traffic cone body 1. The ventilation holes 3 prevent the traffic cone body 1 from tipping over due to excessive lateral wind force, and also help balance the air pressure inside and outside the traffic cone body 1, preventing structural deformation caused by air pressure changes. In use, when vehicles generate airflow or natural wind blows, the ventilation holes 3 allow airflow to pass through the traffic cone body 1, reducing the impact force of the airflow on the traffic cone body 1 and lowering wind pressure.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 201 has several through-holes 4 distributed at its four corners. Ground spikes 5 are threaded into the interior of each hole 4. The connection between the holes 4 and the ground spikes 5 ensures the traffic cone body 1 remains stable, preventing it from tipping over or shifting, thus improving the safety and reliability of traffic management. In extreme weather conditions or when vehicles travel at high speeds, the ground spikes 5 are threaded into the base 201 through the holes 4. After the ground spikes 5 are driven into the ground, the gripping force between the ground spikes 5 and the soil or ground surface secures the traffic cone body 1 to the ground.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the traffic cone body 1. A through hole 7 is provided on the side wall of the fixing block 6, and the through hole 7 passes through the fixing block 6. In use, the fixing block 6 is fixed to the top of the traffic cone body 1, and the through hole 7 can be used to insert ropes, chains and other connecting parts. Multiple traffic cone bodies 1 can be connected in series by ropes or chains to form a continuous isolation zone.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, three reflective strips 8 are provided on the side wall of the traffic cone body 1, and they are evenly distributed along the height direction of the traffic cone body 1. The width of the reflective strips 8 is ≥5cm. In use, when light shines on the reflective strips 8, the microprisms or glass beads in the reflective material reflect the light back to the light source along the original path, so that drivers can clearly see the traffic cone body 1 at night or in low light conditions.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the traffic cone body 1 has reinforcing ribs 9 inside. In use, the reinforcing ribs 9 are distributed inside the traffic cone body 1, which increases the support points and stress area of ​​the structure, thereby improving the compressive, bending and impact resistance of the traffic cone body 1 and enhancing the overall structural strength.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the traffic cone body 1 and the base 201 are made of EVA. In use, EVA has good elasticity, low temperature resistance and impact resistance. EVA material can absorb energy through elastic deformation and return to its original shape after the external force is removed. At the same time, it can adapt to different temperature environments.

[0036] Specifically, when using this traffic cone with high stability: by setting uneven anti-slip textures 202 on the bottom of the base 201, the friction between the traffic cone body 1 and the ground can be increased, preventing the traffic cone body 1 from sliding on the ground. In areas with strong winds or high traffic volume, sand can be filled into the sand storage chamber 203 through the sand inlet 204, increasing the overall weight of the traffic cone body 1, lowering the center of gravity of the traffic cone body 1, and improving stability (e.g., Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown), the reinforcing ribs 9 are distributed inside the traffic cone body 1. By increasing the support points and load-bearing area of ​​the structure, they improve the compressive, bending, and impact resistance of the traffic cone body 1, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength (as shown). Figure 4 As shown), when vehicles move and generate airflow or natural wind blows, the ventilation holes 3 allow airflow to pass through the traffic cone body 1, reducing the impact of the airflow on the traffic cone body 1 and lowering the wind pressure (as shown). Figure 1 As shown), in extreme weather or when vehicles travel at high speeds and generate strong airflow, the ground stake 5 is threaded to the base 201 through the threaded hole 4. After the ground stake 5 is driven into the ground, the traffic cone body 1 is fixed to the ground by utilizing the gripping force between the ground stake 5 and the soil or ground (as shown). Figure 1 As shown), the fixing block 6 is fixed to the top of the traffic cone body 1, and the through hole 7 can be used to insert ropes, chains, and other connecting parts. Multiple traffic cone bodies 1 can be connected in series by ropes or chains to form a continuous isolation zone (such as...). Figure 1As shown), when light shines on the strip of reflective material 8, the microprisms or glass beads in the reflective material reflect the light back to the source along its original path, allowing drivers to clearly see the traffic cone body 1 (as shown) at night or in low-light conditions. Figure 1 (As shown).

[0037] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0038] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
