Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road marking equipment, and in particular to a glass bead loading device, a marking machine, and a marking vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Road marking machines are indispensable equipment in highway construction, their main function being to mark road markings that provide guidance, restraint, and warnings. During the marking process, glass beads are widely used in the marking paint to improve the visibility of road markings, especially at night or in low-light conditions. The main function of the glass beads is to increase the reflectivity of the markings. When vehicles drive at night, their headlights illuminate the road markings, and the glass beads reflect the light, allowing drivers to clearly see the markings. This effectively guides the driving direction, warns of potential hazards, or restricts the driving range. This reflective effect not only enhances the visibility of road markings but also greatly improves nighttime driving safety.

[0003] In existing marking machines, the containers for storing glass beads typically have a sloping bottom plate to facilitate the feeding and conveying of the beads. To increase the storage capacity, the sloping bottom plate is lengthened along with the container volume. However, this long sloping design brings some problems in actual use. Due to the excessive length of the sloping surface, the glass beads tend to stick to it during feeding, affecting the smoothness of their rolling. More seriously, the stuck glass beads may gradually accumulate and cause blockages in some areas, preventing the beads from feeding properly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a glass bead loading device, a marking machine, and a marking cart, which aims to solve the problem that glass beads are prone to sticking to the inclined surface during the current feeding process due to the excessive length of the inclined surface of the base plate, causing blockage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a glass bead loading device, which includes a box body. The bottom plate of the box body is composed of a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate that are inclined to each other. The intersection of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate forms a fold line. The bottom plate of the box body is also provided with a plurality of guide tubes that communicate with the inside of the box body. The guide tubes are arranged close to the fold line on the bottom plate.

[0006] In some embodiments, the enclosure is provided with partitions to divide the interior of the enclosure into multiple non-communicating storage spaces.

[0007] In some embodiments, the partition is detachably installed inside the housing.

[0008] In some embodiments, a cover plate is provided on the top of the enclosure, and the cover plate is movably mounted on the enclosure by a hinge.

[0009] In some embodiments, a handle is provided on the cover plate, and the handle is installed on the side of the cover plate facing away from the housing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the edge of the cover plate is provided with a folded edge, which abuts against or separates from the side wall of the box as the cover plate moves.

[0011] In some embodiments, a plurality of first mounting holes for screws to pass through are provided through the side wall of the housing.

[0012] In some embodiments, a mounting bracket is also provided on the side wall of the housing. The mounting bracket has an L-shaped cross-section and is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes.

[0013] This utility model further proposes a marking machine, which has the above-mentioned glass bead loading device.

[0014] This utility model further proposes a line marking vehicle, on which the above-mentioned line marking machine is installed.

[0015] This utility model proposes a glass bead loading device, which uses a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate that are inclined to each other to form a base plate. The glass beads flow into the guide tube under the action of the two inclined surfaces of the first and second inclined plates. Compared with the existing design of a single inclined base plate forming an inclined surface, this application not only shortens the length of the inclined surface but also increases the inclination angle, improves the space utilization, and avoids the situation where the glass beads stick to the base plate due to the excessive length of the inclined surface, so that the flow of glass beads is smoother during the feeding process.

[0024] This application proposes a glass bead loading device, which includes a box 10. The bottom plate 11 of the box 10 is composed of a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate that are inclined to each other. The intersection of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate forms a fold line. The bottom plate 11 of the box 10 is also provided with a plurality of guide tubes 12 that communicate with the inside of the box 10. The guide tubes 12 are arranged close to the fold line on the bottom plate 11.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The main body of the glass loading device is a box 10, which is roughly rectangular in shape. The bottom plate 11 of the box 10 consists of a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate. Specifically, the first and second inclined plates are designed to be inclined towards each other, and the intersection of the first and second inclined plates forms a folded line. It should be noted that the bottom plate 11 can be spliced ​​together from the first and second inclined plates or it can be a one-piece design, as long as the cross-section of the bottom plate 11 is V-shaped. It can be understood that the smaller the angle between the first and second inclined plates, the steeper the two slopes formed by the first and second inclined plates, which helps to smoothly feed the glass beads. Multiple guide tubes 12 are also provided on the outside of the bottom plate 11. These guide tubes 12 are all close to the folded line formed by the intersection of the first and second inclined plates, but the number and spacing of these guide tubes 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0026] In actual use, the glass loading device is installed on the marking machine with the base plate 11 facing the ground. Therefore, the glass beads in the box 10 will fall onto the base plate 11 under the action of gravity. Then, under the double inclined structure formed by the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate, they are guided to the intersection of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate. Since the guide tube 12 is set close to the fold line at the intersection of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate, and the guide tube 12 also has a certain inclination angle relative to the horizontal plane, the glass beads enter the guide tube 12 under the guidance of gravity and the inclined plane, and are transported to the next process by the guide tube 12.

[0027] In some embodiments, a partition 13 is provided inside the housing 10 to divide the interior of the housing 10 into multiple non-communicating storage spaces.

[0028] In some embodiments, the partition 13 is detachably installed inside the housing 10.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a removable partition 13 is provided inside the box 10. This partition 13 effectively divides the internal space of the box 10 into two completely independent storage spaces that do not interfere with each other. This design aims to meet diverse loading needs. Specifically, these two separate spaces can each hold two different sizes of glass beads. These glass beads play a crucial role in the construction of road traffic markings. When driving at night, road markings often emit a bright light, which is due to the reflective effect of the glass beads. Using a mixture of two sizes of glass beads further enhances the reflectivity of the markings, making them more visible at night and thus improving road safety. In practical applications, construction workers can choose to use one size of glass beads alone or mix the two sizes, depending on specific construction needs. This flexibility greatly facilitates the construction work.

[0030] In other embodiments, the partition 13 can also be directly fixed inside the housing 10 by welding or other methods, or the partition 13 can be omitted. Specifically, the number of partitions 13 is set according to the actual construction requirements.

[0031] In some embodiments, a cover plate 14 is provided on the top of the housing 10, and the cover plate 14 is movably mounted on the housing 10 via a hinge 15.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the housing 10 has an opening through which glass beads are loaded into the housing 10. To ensure that the glass beads do not accidentally fall out after being loaded into the housing 10, a rectangular cover plate 14 is also provided at the opening. This cover plate 14 is connected to the top of the side wall of the housing 10 via a hinge 15, allowing the cover plate 14 to rotate around the hinge 15, thereby covering or exposing the opening at the top of the housing 10. In use, when it is necessary to load glass beads, simply open the cover plate 14 to load the glass beads into the housing 10 through the opening. After loading, simply close the cover plate 14 to effectively prevent the glass beads inside the housing 10 from slipping or falling out from the opening. The cover plate 14 ensures the stability of the glass beads during loading and transportation.

[0033] In some embodiments, a handle 16 is provided on the cover plate 14, and the handle 16 is installed on the side of the cover plate 14 facing away from the housing 10.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a handle 16 is also provided on the back of the cover plate 14, that is, on the side away from the housing 10. This handle 16 greatly facilitates the operation of the construction personnel. The construction personnel only need to hold the handle 16 to apply force and more easily open the cover plate 14 to complete the loading of glass beads. This design not only improves the efficiency of opening the cover plate 14 but also optimizes the user experience, making the entire operation process smoother and more comfortable.

[0035] In some embodiments, the edge of the cover plate 14 is provided with a folded edge, which abuts against or separates from the side wall of the housing 10 as the cover plate 14 moves.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a folded edge is provided on the cover plate 14. The folded edge is perpendicular to the cover plate 14 and located on the peripheral edge of the cover plate 14. When the cover plate 14 is closed with the opening at the top of the box 10, the folded edge on the cover plate 14 fits against the side wall of the box 10. This design provides a fixing function for the cover plate 14, preventing the cover plate 14 from opening due to vibration or other accidental factors when no one is operating it, thereby preventing the glass beads loaded inside the box 10 from slipping or falling out from the opening at the top of the box 10. In addition, the presence of the folded edge further enhances the sealing effect of the box 10. It effectively blocks the entry of external dust, moisture and other impurities, providing a cleaner and more stable storage environment for the glass beads inside the box 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, a plurality of first mounting holes 17 for screws to pass through are provided on the side wall of the housing 10.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of first mounting holes 17 are provided on the side wall of the housing 10. When the mounting surface is flat, the housing 10 can be directly fixed in the desired position by screws and the first mounting holes 17 engaging.

[0039] In some embodiments, a mounting bracket 18 is also provided on the side wall of the housing 10. The mounting bracket 18 has an L-shaped cross section and is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a detachable mounting bracket 18 is also provided on the housing 10. When encountering a non-planar mounting surface, the mounting bracket 18 can be assembled onto the side wall of the housing 10 through the first mounting hole 17. Then, a bracket is set on the mounting surface as an auxiliary. Since the cross-section of the mounting bracket 18 is L-shaped, the mounting bracket 18 can fit against the bracket. Then, screws are used to fix it to the bracket through the second mounting hole on the mounting bracket, thereby firmly and vertically installing the mounting bracket 18 and even the entire housing 10 in the required position. This installation method not only ensures the stability of the housing 10, but more importantly, it allows the glass beads inside the housing 10 to make full use of gravity during feeding, and can flow smoothly into the guide tube 12 for feeding.

[0041] This utility model further proposes a marking machine and a marking cart. The marking machine has the above-mentioned glass bead loading device, and the marking cart is equipped with the above-mentioned marking machine. The specific structure of the glass bead loading device is as described in the above embodiments. Since the marking machine and marking cart adopt all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, they have at least all the technical effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In summary, the glass bead loading device proposed in this utility model uses a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate that are inclined to form a base plate 11, making the cross-section of the base plate 11 V-shaped. The glass beads flow into the guide tube 12 under the action of the two inclined surfaces formed by the first and second inclined plates. Compared with the existing design of a single base plate 11 with an inclined surface, this application can not only shorten the length of the inclined surface, but also increase the inclination angle as needed, improve the space utilization inside the box 10, and avoid the situation where the glass beads stick to the base plate 11 due to the excessive length of the inclined surface, so that the flow of glass beads is smoother during the feeding process.
