A type of road cone suitable for different road surface slopes

Abstract

This utility model provides a road cone suitable for different road surface slopes, relating to the field of road cone technology. It includes a base and four support legs; a telescopic tube fixedly installed at the bottom of the base, with a rubber ring adhered to the bottom of the telescopic tube for releasing air through contraction, thus securing the road cone with negative pressure. In this utility model, on flat roads, the road cone can be tightly pressed against the ground by the bottom rubber ring. Stepping on the base causes the telescopic tube to contract, releasing air through an exhaust valve to create negative pressure, which then secures the cone. On uneven roads, the support legs can be rotated out of their storage slots, allowing the counterweights at the bottom of the support legs to contact the ground as supports, improving stability. This road cone eliminates the need for external tools such as sandbags or bolts, saving manpower and time while ensuring the stability of the marking, effectively reducing the risk of vehicles accidentally entering. Simultaneously, the telescopic tube's exhaust design and adjustable support structure combine flexibility and durability, significantly reducing the problems of marking failure and equipment damage caused by tipping over.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road cone technology, and in particular to a road cone suitable for different road surface slopes. Background Technology

[0002] Traffic cones, also known as traffic cones, cone-shaped traffic signs, roadblocks, or traffic cones, are plastic or rubber products used for road traffic management, safety warnings, and temporary isolation. They are usually cone-shaped with a brightly colored top and a wider base to increase stability.

[0003] Traffic cones rely primarily on their own weight and base structure to maintain stability. When placed on a steep slope, the gravitational force on the cones makes them more prone to sliding or tipping over, causing the distance between cones to change. This abnormal change in spacing can mislead drivers' judgment of the warning signals from the cones, potentially causing their driving behavior to deviate from safe regulations and increasing the probability of traffic accidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the road cones cannot be stably fixed on the inclined road surface when the above-mentioned equipment is used, resulting in tipping or displacement. Therefore, this invention proposes a road cone suitable for different road surface slopes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a road cone suitable for different road surface slopes, comprising a base and four supporting legs;

[0006] The telescopic joint tube is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base. A rubber ring is adhered to the bottom of the telescopic joint tube to expel air by contraction and fix the road cone by means of negative pressure.

[0007] Two exhaust valves are inserted inside the base to expel excess air;

[0008] Four counterweights are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support legs to support the traffic cones and prevent them from tipping over.

[0009] When the device encounters a sloping road surface, if the road surface is flat, the rubber ring at the bottom is pressed tightly against the ground. Then, simply step on the top of the base, and the telescopic tube at the bottom will retract, expelling the internal gas through the exhaust valve, thus creating negative pressure. This air pressure then fixes the traffic cone to the ground. When the road surface is uneven and the rubber ring cannot press against the ground, the four support legs are pulled out and used as a support structure to contact the ground, thereby improving the stability of the traffic cone. This traffic cone is not easily tipped over or damaged during use, effectively preventing the sign from becoming ineffective due to tipping, reducing the probability of vehicles accidentally entering dangerous areas, and it does not require the use of sandbags, bolts, or other auxiliary tools, saving a lot of manpower and time.

[0010] Preferably, a manual air intake valve is fixedly inserted inside the base, and four sets of splicing blocks are fixedly installed on the top of the base. A combination plate is movably fitted between the outer walls of the four sets of splicing blocks. When the traffic cone needs to be removed, the user manually opens the manual air intake valve to break the internal negative pressure, and then moves it easily. The combination plate is connected to the base through the splicing blocks and will detach from the surface of the base when subjected to a violent impact.

[0011] Preferably, a set of fluorescent strips is adhered to the outer wall of each of the four combined panels, and a set of reflective strips is adhered to the outer wall of each of the four combined panels. The reflective strips can effectively reflect light during the day, and the fluorescent strips will emit fluorescence at night. Both of these effectively improve the visibility of the traffic cone.

[0012] Preferably, each of the four composite panels has a set of splicing grooves on its outer wall, and a set of splicing blocks II are fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of each of the four composite panels. The inner wall of each of the four splicing grooves is movably inserted into the outer wall of the splicing blocks II. The four splicing blocks II are spliced ​​together and will quickly disperse when subjected to a high-speed collision with a car, reducing the impact force directly transmitted to the vehicle or people, thereby protecting the safety of the driver and passengers.

[0013] Preferably, a storage groove is provided on one side of the outer wall of each of the four combined plates, and a set of sliding grooves is provided on the inner surface of each of the four storage grooves. A slider is movably embedded in the inner surface of each of the four sets of sliding grooves, and the slider slides freely inside the sliding groove.

[0014] Preferably, each of the four storage slots has a support leg movably inserted into its inner wall, a movable groove is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of each of the four storage slots, a slot is formed at the bottom of each of the four combination plates, a set of springs is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of each of the four movable grooves, a latch is fixedly installed between the tops of each of the four sets of springs, the outer walls of each of the four latches are movably inserted into the slots and the combination plates, a connecting rod is fixedly installed between the outer walls of each of the four sets of sliders, and the outer walls of each of the four connecting rods are movably inserted into the support leg. The user first pushes the latch down to compress the spring and pull it out from the slot, and then rotates the bottom of the support leg out of the storage slot. There is a gap between the support leg and one side of the inner wall of the storage slot to facilitate the rotation of the top of the support leg on the surface of the connecting rod. Then, the user pulls the support leg so that it drives the slider to slide with the help of the connecting rod. When the counterweight at the bottom of the support leg contacts the ground, it acts as a support to improve the stability of the traffic cone and prevent it from tipping over.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the road cone can be tightly attached to the ground on flat roads by the bottom rubber ring. Stepping on the base causes the telescopic tube to contract, and the gas is discharged through the exhaust valve to form a negative pressure, which is used to fix the cone in place. When encountering uneven roads, the support leg can be rotated out of the storage slot, so that the counterweight at the bottom of the support leg contacts the ground as a support to improve stability. This road cone does not require external tools such as sandbags or bolts during use, which saves manpower and time and ensures the stability of the marking, effectively reducing the risk of vehicles accidentally entering the road. At the same time, the telescopic tube exhaust design and adjustable support structure take into account both flexibility and durability, significantly reducing the problems of marking failure and equipment damage caused by tipping.

[0029] Four counterweights 16 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support leg 15 to support the traffic cone and prevent it from tipping over;

[0030] When the device encounters a sloping road surface, if the road surface is flat, the bottom rubber ring 4 is tightly pressed against the ground.

This air pressure then fixes the traffic cone to the ground. When the road surface is uneven and the rubber ring 4 cannot press against the ground, the four support legs 15 are pulled out and used as a support structure to contact the ground, thereby improving the stability of the traffic cone. This traffic cone is not easy to tip over or be damaged during use, effectively preventing the sign from becoming ineffective due to tipping, reducing the probability of vehicles accidentally entering dangerous areas, and does not require the use of sandbags, bolts, or other auxiliary tools, saving a lot of manpower and time.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a manual air intake valve 5 is fixedly inserted inside the base 1. Four sets of splicing blocks 6 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1.

The combination plate 7 is connected to the base 1 through the splicing blocks 6 and will fall off the surface of the base 1 when subjected to a violent impact.

[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a set of fluorescent strips 8 are attached to the outer wall of each of the four combination plates 7, and a set of reflective strips 9 are attached to the outer wall of each of the four combination plates 7. The reflective strips 9 can effectively reflect light during the day, and the fluorescent strips 8 will emit fluorescence at night.

Each of the four composite panels 7 has a set of splicing blocks 2 11 fixedly installed on one side of its outer wall.

A set of sliding grooves 13 is provided on the inner surface of each of the four storage grooves 12. A slider 14 is movably embedded in the inner surface of each of the four sets of sliding grooves 13. The slider 14 slides freely inside the sliding groove 13.

Located inside the support leg 15, the user first pushes the latch 20 down, causing it to compress the spring 19 and pull it out from inside the slot 18. Then, the user rotates the bottom of the support leg 15 out of the storage slot 12. There is a gap between the support leg 15 and one side of the inner wall of the storage slot 12, which facilitates the rotation of the top of the support leg 15 on the surface of the connecting rod 21. Then, the user pulls the support leg 15, causing it to slide the slider 14 with the help of the connecting rod 21. When the counterweight 16 at the bottom of the support leg 15 contacts the ground, it acts as a support to improve the stability of the traffic cone and prevent it from tipping over.
