Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic warning technology, specifically a solar-powered traffic warning device. Background Technology

[0002] A solar-powered warning light post, disclosed in CN210262792U, includes a lamp holder with a sleeve at its lower end. The surface of the lamp holder has several evenly distributed light-transmitting holes that communicate with the interior space of the lamp holder. A matching red lamp holder is located in the upper part of the lamp holder, and a matching green lamp holder is located in the lower part of the lamp holder. A yellow lamp holder is located at the upper end of the lamp holder. A mounting frame is located above the yellow lamp holder. Several solar panels are laid on the surface of the mounting frame. A battery is located inside the yellow lamp holder.

[0003] Its solar-powered warning posts can make drivers aware of pedestrians in the distance at the first moment. Even if the pedestrian's figure is not visible in dim light or vehicle headlights, drivers can still clearly perceive whether there are pedestrians ahead of them, which makes it easier for them to adjust their driving speed and effectively avoid traffic accidents.

[0004] However, as a road warning device, it is at risk of being hit by a vehicle. When hit by a vehicle, the warning post will be damaged directly, and it will also cause great damage to the vehicle and people. This solution does not provide high protection for the warning post.

A shock absorber is sleeved inside the buffer spring. Multiple elastic rubber strips are provided at equal intervals from top to bottom on the outer surface of the arc-shaped plate. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the warning post. A battery module is provided at the bottom of the solar photovoltaic panel. The solar photovoltaic panel is electrically connected to the battery module. The battery module is electrically connected to the warning light. Multiple reflective stickers are provided on the surface of the arc-shaped plate between the elastic rubber strips. The elastic shock-absorbing pad is made of silicone and fits tightly against the inner wall of the square cylinder. The thickness of the elastic shock-absorbing pad is adapted to the size of the warning post to provide cushioning protection.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, the protective components are four in number and are respectively disposed on the four sides of the square tube. One end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the four corners of the side of the square tube. One end of the buffer spring is fixedly connected to the side of the square tube and the other end is fixedly connected to the surface of the arc plate.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, the battery module is connected to a solar photovoltaic panel via wires and supplies power to a warning light, which is an LED light source and has a waterproof and light-transmitting cover on its surface.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, the mounting plate is a metal plate and is fixed to the bottom of the warning post by bolts, and the bottom surface of the mounting plate in contact with the ground is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the reflective sticker is made of a high reflectivity material and is distributed in strips spaced apart between elastic rubber strips, with the extension direction of the reflective sticker parallel to the elastic rubber strips.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a solar-powered traffic warning device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the protective components are designed to form a first layer of buffer protection through the elastic shock-absorbing pads and warning posts fitted inside the square cylinder. When a vehicle collides, the arc-shaped plate of the protective components absorbs the impact energy through the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod and the compression of the buffer spring. The shock absorber suppresses rebound oscillation, and the elastic rubber strip flexibly contacts the vehicle body surface, reducing scratch damage to the vehicle. The protective components are symmetrically distributed on the four sides of the square cylinder, forming a surrounding buffer barrier. Through the linkage adjustment of the telescopic rod and the buffer spring, it can adapt to impact forces from different directions, significantly improving the impact resistance and safety of the device.

[0020] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0021] Figures 1-4 In one embodiment of this utility model, a solar-powered traffic warning device includes a square cylinder 1, an elastic shock-absorbing pad 2 is sleeved inside the square cylinder 1, a warning post 3 is sleeved inside the elastic shock-absorbing pad 2, a solar photovoltaic panel 4 is provided on the top of the warning post 3, a warning light 5 is provided on one side of the top of the warning post 3, and protective components 6 are provided at the four corners of the square cylinder 1.

[0022] The specific problem addressed in this embodiment is the risk of a road warning device being struck by a vehicle, resulting in damage to the warning post and causing significant injury to the vehicle and pedestrians. This invention utilizes the protective component 6, which forms a first layer of buffer protection with the elastic shock-absorbing pad 2 nested inside the square cylinder 1 and the warning post 3. Upon vehicle impact, the arc-shaped plate 62 of the protective component 6 absorbs the impact energy through the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 61 and the compression of the buffer spring 63. The shock absorber 64 suppresses rebound oscillation, and the elastic rubber strip 65 flexibly contacts the vehicle surface, reducing scratch damage. The protective component 6 is symmetrically distributed on all four sides of the square cylinder 1, forming a surrounding buffer barrier. Through the coordinated adjustment of the telescopic rod 61 and the buffer spring 63, it adapts to impact forces from different directions, significantly improving the device's impact resistance and safety.

[0023] The protective component 6 includes telescopic rods 61 fixedly connected to the four corners of the square cylinder 1. One end of the telescopic rod 61 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped plate 62. A buffer spring 63 is provided on the surface of the arc-shaped plate 62 on one side of the telescopic rod 61. A shock absorber 64 is sleeved inside the buffer spring 63. Multiple elastic rubber strips 65 are provided at equal intervals from top to bottom on the outer surface of the arc-shaped plate 62. In this specific embodiment, multiple reflective stickers 9 are provided on the surface of the arc-shaped plate 62 between the elastic rubber strips 65. The elastic shock-absorbing pad 2 is made of silicone and fits tightly against the inner wall of the square cylinder 1. The thickness of the elastic shock-absorbing pad 2 is adapted to the size of the warning post 3 to provide buffer protection. The square cylinder 1 of the solar-powered traffic warning device is nested with an elastic shock-absorbing pad 2 made of silicone material. The warning post 3 is tightly fitted inside the elastic shock-absorbing pad 2. Telescopic rods 61 are welded at the four corners of the square cylinder 1. The ends of the telescopic rods 61 are fixed with arc-shaped plates 62. The arc-shaped plates 62 are connected to the square cylinder 1 by a buffer spring 63. The spring is fitted with a shock absorber 64. Multiple elastic rubber strips 65 are longitudinally and equidistantly pasted on the outer surface of the arc-shaped plates 62. The elastic shock-absorbing pad 2 and the protective component 6 form a double-layer buffer structure, which reduces the damage rate of the warning post 3 during impact and also reduces vehicle scratch damage.

[0024] In this specific embodiment, the bottom of the warning post 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 7, the bottom of the solar photovoltaic panel 4 is provided with the battery module 8, the solar photovoltaic panel 4 is electrically connected to the battery module 8, the battery module 8 is electrically connected to the warning light 5, and multiple reflective stickers 9 are provided on the surface of the arc plate 62 between the elastic rubber strips 65. The reflective stickers 9 are made of high reflectivity material and are distributed in strips at intervals between the elastic rubber strips 65. The extension direction of the reflective stickers 9 is parallel to the elastic rubber strips 65.

[0025] The reflective sticker 9 uses a microprism reflective film, which is cut into strips and pasted between the elastic rubber strips 65 at 1cm intervals. The extension direction is parallel to the rubber strips. The reflective sticker 9 and the elastic rubber strips 65 work together to improve the visibility distance at night and reduce the accident rate.

[0026] In this specific embodiment, there are four protective components 6, which are respectively arranged on the four sides of the square tube 1. One end of the telescopic rod 61 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the side of the square tube 1. One end of the buffer spring 63 is fixedly connected to the side of the square tube 1 and the other end is fixedly connected to the surface of the arc plate 62.

[0027] A protective component 6 is installed on each of the four sides of the square tube 1. The base of the telescopic rod 61 is welded to the four corners of the square tube 1. The two ends of the buffer spring 63 are welded to the side of the square tube 1 and the back of the arc plate 62 respectively, forming a four-way symmetrical support. The four-sided protective components 6 evenly distribute the impact force, improve the resistance to lateral impact, and enhance the stability of the device.

[0028] In this specific embodiment, the battery module 8 is connected to the solar photovoltaic panel 4 via wires and supplies power to the warning light 5. The warning light 5 is an LED light source and its surface is covered with a waterproof and light-transmitting cover.

[0029] The battery module 8 is connected to the solar photovoltaic panel 4 and the warning light 5 via a waterproof cable. The warning light 5 is covered by a transparent polycarbonate waterproof cover and uses a low-power LED array inside. The waterproof power supply system ensures normal operation in rainy weather, extends the battery life to more than 7 days, and reduces the failure rate.

[0030] In this specific embodiment, the mounting plate 7 is a metal plate and is fixed to the bottom of the warning post 3 by bolts. The bottom surface of the mounting plate 7 in contact with the ground is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0031] Mounting plate 7 is made of galvanized steel plate and is locked to the bottom of warning post 3 with four bolts. Its bottom surface is laser-engraved with diamond anti-slip patterns, which increases the contact area with the ground. The anti-slip patterns provide anti-slip resistance, improve installation stability, and enhance wind resistance.
