Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wayfinding signs, and in particular to a multifunctional wayfinding sign that integrates wayfinding and electronic check-in. Background Technology

[0002] Wayfinding signs, also known as directional signs, guide signs, or index signs, help people find their destinations in unfamiliar environments by indicating area names, route directions, and distance information. Integrating wayfinding signs with electronic check-in can improve user experience, optimize management efficiency, and enhance interactive elements.

[0003] In the process of realizing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the prior art: Existing wayfinding signs generally include a wayfinding sign body, a fixing mechanism, and a supporting mechanism. Most existing fixing mechanisms directly fix the wayfinding sign in a fixed position, resulting in the wayfinding sign's direction not being adjustable. At the same time, most existing wayfinding signs are a single unit. If a wayfinding sign is damaged and needs to be replaced, it cannot be disassembled and the entire unit must be replaced, which wastes resources.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a multifunctional wayfinding sign that integrates wayfinding and electronic check-in to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a multifunctional wayfinding sign that integrates electronic check-in and guidance mechanisms. This sign provides convenience for patients through its directional mechanism and saves resources by allowing for the replacement of the mechanism.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional wayfinding and electronic check-in integrated wayfinding sign, including an indicator mechanism and a replacement mechanism, wherein the indicator mechanism includes a check-in device, a motor, a support rod, and a wire, and a rotating block is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor;

[0007] The replacement mechanism includes a signboard and a pull plate. A block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the signboard. A bottom block is slidably connected to the bottom of the block. A locking block is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate near the block. The locking block is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the end of the block near the pull plate. Two springs are fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate near the block and away from the center.

[0008] Furthermore, the ends of the two springs away from the pull plate are fixedly connected to the side of the rotating block near the pull plate, the bottom of the pull plate is slidably connected to the top of the base block, and the top of the pull plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the signboard.

[0009] Furthermore, the first block is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the rotating block near the pull plate at one end, and the signboard is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the rotating block near the pull plate at one end.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating block at one end, and the bottom of the rotating block is rotatably connected to the top of the support rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the rear end face of the sign-in device is fixedly connected to the front end face of the support rod, one end of the wire is connected to the sign-in device, and the other end passes through the bottom of the support rod and is connected to the outside.

[0012] Furthermore, a base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod, and multiple lamps are fixedly installed on the front end face of the support rod near the bottom.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the pull plate is movably connected to the outer wall of the first block near the card block.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model proposes a multifunctional wayfinding and electronic check-in integrated wayfinding sign. The QR code of the hospital's order number is scanned by aligning it with the scanning area of ​​the check-in device. The check-in device transmits the scanned direction to the motor in the form of an electrical signal, and controls the motor to rotate, driving the rotating block and the wayfinding sign to rotate, pointing the wayfinding sign to the direction the patient wants to go on the QR code. This can save patients time asking for directions and is more convenient for them.

[0016] 2. The present invention proposes a multifunctional wayfinding and electronic check-in integrated wayfinding sign. When replacing the wayfinding sign, the pull plate moves to the left, driving two springs and the locking block to move to the left. Then, the wayfinding sign is moved to the left, and it can be removed from the inner wall of the rotating block for replacement. When the new wayfinding sign is reset, the locking block is re-locked into the inner wall of the first block under the action of the two springs. The wayfinding sign is then fixed by cooperating with the inner wall of the rotating block. The wayfinding sign can be replaced after it is damaged without replacing the entire device.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a multifunctional wayfinding and electronic check-in integrated wayfinding sign, including an indicator mechanism 1 and a replacement mechanism 2. The indicator mechanism 1 includes a check-in device 101, a motor 102, a support rod 104, and a wire 107. A rotating block 103 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 102. The replacement mechanism 2 includes a wayfinding sign 201 and a pull plate 205. A first block 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the wayfinding sign 201. A bottom block 202 is slidably connected to the bottom of the first block 203. A locking block 206 is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate 205 near the first block 203. The locking block 206 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the first block 203 near the pull plate 205. Two springs 204 are fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate 205 near the first block 203 and away from the center.

[0025] Specifically, the QR code of the hospital's order number is scanned by aligning it with the scanning area on the left side of the check-in device 101. The check-in device 101 transmits the scanned location to the motor 102 in the form of an electrical signal, and starts the motor 102. The output of the motor 102 drives the rotating block 103 and the guide sign 201 to rotate, pointing to the location on the patient's QR code. When the guide sign 201 needs to be replaced, the pull plate 205 moves to the left, causing the two springs 204 and the locking block 206 to move to the left. When the locking block 206 moves from the left end of the first block 203... After sliding out from the inner wall, move it a short distance to the left, then move the signboard 201 to the left and then up. This allows you to remove the signboard 201 from the inner wall of the rotating block 103 for replacement. Place the new signboard 201 back into the inner wall of the rotating block 103, release the pull plate 205, and the locking block 206 will be reset under the action of the two springs 204, locking it into the inner wall of the first block 203 and fixing the signboard 201. This mechanism can quickly replace the damaged signboard 201 without replacing the whole thing, saving resources.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4Two springs 204 are fixedly connected at the ends away from the pull plate 205 to the side of the rotating block 103 near the pull plate 205. The bottom of the pull plate 205 is slidably connected to the top of the bottom block 202. The top of the pull plate 205 is slidably connected to the bottom of the signboard 201. The end of the first block 203 near the rotating block 103 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the rotating block 103 near the pull plate 205. The end of the signboard 201 near the rotating block 103 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the rotating block 103 near the pull plate 205. The end of the bottom block 202 near the rotating block 103 is... The outer wall of the rotating block 103 is fixedly connected, the bottom of the rotating block 103 is rotatably connected to the top of the support rod 104, the rear end face of the sign-in device 101 is fixedly connected to the front end face of the support rod 104, one end of the wire 107 is connected to the sign-in device 101, and the other end passes through the bottom of the support rod 104 and is connected to the outside. A base 106 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 104, and multiple lamps 105 are fixedly installed on the front end face of the support rod 104 near the bottom. The outer wall of the pull plate 205 is movably connected to the outer wall of the first block 203 near the end of the card block 206.

[0027] Specifically, two springs 204 ensure that the locking block 206 is locked inside the first block 203, fixing the guide sign 201. The right ends of the first block 203 and the guide sign 201 are both embedded in the inner wall of the rotating block 103. The bottom block 202 and the rotating block 103 are fixed together, providing support for the top guide sign 201 and other structures. One end of the wire 107 is connected to the sign-in device 101, and the other end is connected to an external power source through the bottom of the support rod 104 to provide power to the sign-in device 101. The base 106 ensures the overall stability, and the lamp 105 provides a certain amount of light to help patients find the device.

[0028] Working principle: Scan the QR code of the hospital order number in your hand with the scanning area on the left side of the check-in device 101. The check-in device 101 will transmit the scanned direction to the motor 102 in the form of an electrical signal and control the motor 102 to work. The output of the motor 102 drives the top rotating block 103 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating block 103 drives the guide sign 201 to rotate, pointing to the direction that the patient wants to go on the QR code.

[0029] Secondly, when the signboard 201 is damaged or needs to be replaced, first move the pull plate 205 to the left. The pull plate 205 will drive the two springs 204 and the locking block 206 to move to the left. When the locking block 206 slides out from the inner wall of the left end of the first block 203, move the locking block 206 to the left a certain distance, then move the signboard 201 to the left and then upward. The signboard 201 can then be removed from the inner wall of the rotating block 103 for replacement. Place the new signboard 201 on the inner wall of the rotating block 103, and then release the pull plate 205. Under the action of the two springs 204, the locking block 206 can be reset and locked on the inner wall of the left end of the first block 203, cooperating with the inner wall of the rotating block 103 to fix the signboard 201.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
