Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic control device technology, specifically a traffic light strip. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of society and economy, the urban population is increasing and traffic is becoming more and more congested, especially at traffic intersections with traffic lights, especially during the morning and evening rush hours. Vehicles often form long queues, and traffic lights are often blocked by large trucks in front, making it difficult for vehicles behind to see them. This increases the probability of traffic accidents.

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a countdown light strip that breaks through the traditional signal light display method and reduces the probability of traffic accidents at intersections. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a traffic light strip, comprising:

[0005] The housing has a semi-enclosed groove-shaped structure;

[0006] A connecting mechanism is provided on the back of the housing and is used to connect the housing to the street light pole;

[0007] A light strip is installed inside the housing; the light-emitting surface of the light strip is aligned with the opening direction of the housing.

[0008] The light is used to display three colors: red, green, and yellow.

[0009] The control module is electrically connected to the lamp strip. The control module has a built-in time synchronization unit and a color switching unit, which are used to control the color switching time of the lamp beads to be consistent with the legal cycle of the traffic signal light.

[0010] Furthermore, the side width of the shell extends linearly from bottom to top in the vertical direction, that is, the top width is greater than the bottom width; the outer surface of the side has an arc-shaped transition structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the light strip includes: a mounting base and an LED light;

[0012] The mounting base is connected to the interior of the housing, and the mounting base is tilted downwards;

[0013] The mounting base is provided with an array of LED lights on its surface.

[0014] The LED light is connected to the control box, and the control module is installed inside the control box;

[0015] The LED light makes a 6° angle with the horizontal plane.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes: a clamp and a connecting rod;

[0017] One side of the clamp is rotatably connected to the connecting rod;

[0018] The connection between the connecting rod and the housing.

[0019] Furthermore, the connection mechanism includes: a polymer sealant layer is filled at the connection between the LED light and the mounting.

[0020] Furthermore, a transparent protective plate is provided at the edge of the opening, and the protective plate is fixed to the housing with silicone sealant.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] By tilting the light downwards at a 6° angle, glare can be avoided. The adjustable connection mechanism can be adapted to different street light pole installation requirements, and it can be directly installed on the horizontal and vertical poles of the street light pole. By illuminating the entire light pole, the display area of ​​the traffic light is increased, thus avoiding the problem of not being able to see the traffic light due to excessive distance or obstruction by the vehicle in front.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a traffic light strip, comprising:

[0030] Housing 1, wherein housing 1 has a semi-enclosed structure;

[0031] A connecting mechanism is detachably connected to the back of the housing 1 for connecting the housing 1 to the street light pole;

[0032] A light strip is installed inside the housing 1; the light-emitting surface of the light strip is aligned with the opening direction of the housing.

[0033] The angle between the illumination direction of the lamps on the light strip and the horizontal plane is 6°;

[0034] The light is used to display three colors: red, green, and yellow.

[0035] The control module is electrically connected to the lamp strip. The control module has a built-in time synchronization unit and a color switching unit, which are used to control the color switching time of the lamp beads to be consistent with the legal cycle of the traffic signal light.

[0036] The shell is made of aluminum alloy in one piece, and the outer surface is coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0037] For information on the different colors and durations of the lights, please refer to the principles of existing traffic lights.

[0038] In some embodiments, the side width of the housing 1 extends linearly from bottom to top in the vertical direction, that is, the top width is greater than the bottom width; the outer surface of the side has an arc-shaped transition structure.

[0039] The outer surface of the side has an arc-shaped transition structure, which can reduce wind resistance and guide rainwater to flow downward along the shell surface.

[0040] A diversion plate is fixedly installed at an angle on the bottom edge of the shell to divert rainwater inside the shell. A diversion groove is provided at the connection between the diversion plate and the shell.

[0041] In some embodiments, the light strip includes: a mounting base 2 and an LED light 3;

[0053] The polymer sealant layer is made of silicone sealant, with a thickness of 1mm-2mm, which completely covers the LED pins and soldering area to prevent water and dust damage and enhance mechanical connection strength.

[0054] In some embodiments, a transparent protective plate is provided at the edge of the opening, and the protective plate is fixed to the housing by silicone sealant.

[0055] The protective plate can protect the LED lights from damage caused by external objects.
