Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of public transportation facilities technology, specifically a bus stop sign with a changeable route. Background Technology

[0002] With economic and social development, urban traffic is becoming increasingly congested. People have come to a deeper understanding of the importance of green and healthy travel, and many citizens are choosing to travel by bus. Buses have gradually become a preferred mode of transportation for urban residents. In the bus operation system, bus stop signs are the identifying facilities for bus stops. Bus stop signs consist of text, graphics, and symbols, and are placed at stations or bus stops to provide service information to passengers. The signs include: route type, station name, the station name in Pinyin, direction of travel, names of all stations along the route, station number, operating hours, markings, and fares.

[0003] Due to reasons such as route adjustments, incorrect or outdated information, aging facilities, technological upgrades, changes in urban planning, and passenger feedback, the information on bus stop signs needs to be changed to facilitate people's travel.

[0004] When existing bus stop signs with replaceable routes need to be updated, the entire sign is usually replaced. It is inconvenient to change the route information within the sign individually, and the bus route information cannot be updated in real time. As a result, the construction cost of public transportation is relatively high. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a route-changeable bus stop sign. This solves the problem that when route information needs to be changed, the entire bus stop sign usually needs to be replaced, which is inconvenient for individually changing the route information within the sign. It also prevents real-time updates of bus route information and results in high construction costs for public transportation.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a route-replaceable bus stop sign, comprising a base, a bracket fixedly connected to the top of the base, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the inner side of the bracket, a fixed rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the bracket, the fixed rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame, glass windows rotatably connected to the front and back of the fixed frame, a vertical rod fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the fixed frame, a first horizontal bar welded to the front and back of the vertical bar, the two ends of the first horizontal bar welded to the inner sidewall of the fixed frame, a first slot provided at the top and bottom of the first horizontal bar, and a second horizontal bar welded to the top inner wall of the fixed frame. Two second horizontal bars are provided, and a second slot is provided at the bottom of the second horizontal bar. Through the arrangement of the first slot, the second slot, the rotatable glass window, and bolts, the route information card inside the bus stop sign can be removed and replaced, ensuring the real-time nature of the bus stop information. Furthermore, the entire bus stop sign does not need to be replaced after a route update, saving on the construction cost of public transportation facilities. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing rod has threaded grooves on its front and back sides, and an mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the glass window. The mounting plate and the inside of the threaded groove are connected by a bolt. The bolt passes through the mounting plate and the threaded groove, thereby fixing the mounting plate to the fixing rod. This allows the bottom side of the glass panel to be fixed to the fixing rod, so as to open or close the glass window.

[0010] Preferably, the base includes a straight plate and an L-shaped plate. The straight plate is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the bracket, and the L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the other side of the bottom of the bracket. The straight plate enables the bracket to be stable in the front and back, and the L-shaped plate enhances the stability of the bracket when it sways left and right.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model provides a bus stop sign with interchangeable routes. It has the following advantages:

[0016] (i) The replaceable bus stop sign for this route can be made available by setting up a first card slot, a second card slot, a rotatable glass window, and bolts, so that the route information card inside the bus stop sign can be removed and replaced. This ensures the real-time information of the bus stop sign and does not require the replacement of the entire sign after the route is updated, saving the construction cost of the bus facilities. It is also simple to operate and easy to use.

[0017] (II) The replaceable bus stop sign for this route, through the setting of the first and second water guide channels, guides rainwater and other water from the fixed frame into the second water guide channel through the first water guide channel, and then the water in the first water guide channel is directed to both sides of the fixed frame and flows away. Thus, the setting of the first and second water guide channels can prevent rainwater and other water from flowing into the interior of the fixed frame, thereby playing a drainage role, preventing rainwater from corroding the information card, extending the service life of the internal route information card, and reducing the possibility of rainwater or water vapor obstructing the glass plate and thus blocking people's view, thereby improving the user experience.

[0018] (III) The replaceable bus stop sign for this route, through the combination of glass window and fixed frame design, can isolate the inside and outside of the sign, which not only ensures the overall coordination of the sign, but also ensures that the inside of the sign is dustproof, preventing dust from contaminating the route information card inside the fixed frame, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the sign and the user experience.
