Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of passenger transport guidance, and specifically relates to a dual-screen guidance device for railway passenger platforms. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial area for passenger transfers and waiting, the efficiency and reliability of information guidance systems at railway passenger platforms directly impact passenger travel experience and platform operational efficiency. Current technologies for railway passenger platform guidance devices often employ single-screen static displays or dual-screen structures mounted on fixed brackets, resulting in high equipment protection and maintenance costs. Traditional guidance devices typically feature exposed, fixed displays lacking effective storage and protection mechanisms. During non-operating periods or equipment adjustments, the screens are susceptible to damage from impacts, dust accumulation, or harsh environments. Furthermore, manual adjustments to screen angles or equipment handling are cumbersome and prone to mechanical failure, leading to high maintenance costs.
[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of existing railway passenger station platform guidance devices in terms of equipment protection and structural optimization, there is an urgent need for a guidance device with dual-screen dynamic adjustment and automatic retraction protection to improve platform operation efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a dual-screen guidance device for railway passenger platforms, which realizes the storage and switching of dual screens through a drive component, in order to solve the shortcomings of existing guidance devices in terms of equipment protection and structural optimization.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a dual-screen guidance device for railway passenger platforms, including a base, a column fixedly installed on the top of the base, an installation compartment installed on the top of the column, a flipping mechanism installed on the inner wall of the installation compartment, and two display screens rotated in the installation compartment via the flipping mechanism. The flipping mechanism is driven by a drive component, which is installed on the inner wall of the installation compartment near the bottom.
[0006] The flipping mechanism includes slide rails located on the inner wall of one side of the installation chamber and close to the two displays. Each slide rail has a connecting slider. The end of the connecting slider near the inner wall of the installation chamber has a rotating chamber. An installation shaft is rotatably mounted on the connecting slider. One end of the installation shaft is rotatably mounted in the rotating chamber and has a steel wire rope wound around it. One end of the steel wire rope is connected to a linkage plug rod. One end of the linkage plug rod is slidably mounted in a limit rail and the other end is connected to a drive assembly. The limit rail is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting slider. The other end of the installation shaft extends through the connecting slider and fixes the display screen.
[0007] In one embodiment, a flipping mechanism and a drive assembly are provided on the inner walls of opposite sides of the mounting compartment. Each flipping mechanism is driven by a drive assembly located on the same inner wall of the mounting compartment. Each display screen is connected to one of the two flipping mechanisms on both sides.
[0008] In one embodiment, the system further includes an electrically operated telescopic rod, which is fixedly installed inside the column. A connecting rod is sleeved on the electrically operated telescopic rod and connected to a crossbar, which is mounted on a connecting slider.
[0009] In one embodiment, a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the mounting shaft and the rotating chamber; a limit block is provided at the end of the limiting rail near the display screen.
[0010] In one embodiment, the drive assembly includes a gear, which is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting compartment near the bottom. Two T-shaped rails are arranged on the inner wall of the mounting compartment with the gear as the axis of symmetry. A rack is slidably mounted on each of the two T-shaped rails. The upper and lower sides of the gear mesh with the two racks respectively. Each rack has a through-hole at one end near the display screen.

[0012] In one embodiment, a detection mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the installation chamber.
[0013] In one embodiment, a compression spring is also provided between the detector and one end of the limiting slide rail.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0015] 1. Flexible storage and protection of equipment: When storage and transportation are required, the drive component drives the flipping mechanism to smoothly flip the display screen and store it in the installation compartment, avoiding damage to fragile equipment such as the display screen. At the same time, it facilitates the rapid redeployment of the equipment and ensures the flexible and efficient operation of the platform guidance system.
[0016] 2. Automated Operation and Control: The motor, gears, racks, and other structures in the drive components work together to achieve automated flipping, storage, and unfolding of the display screen; the pressure sensor ensures that the motor only starts after the linkage plug rod and plug hole are stably connected, preventing jamming or damage caused by misoperation and improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.
[0017] 3. Compact structure and optimized space: The installation position of the display screen and the mounting hinge is close to the upper edge of the display screen, reducing the space occupied inside the installation chamber during the flipping process and realizing the miniaturization design of the guiding equipment; the electric telescopic rod drives the connecting slider to move, ensuring that the display screen and the inner wall of the installation chamber maintain an appropriate distance during the flipping process, reducing the risk of friction and collision.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the dual-screen guidance device for railway passenger platforms provided in this application includes a base 1, a column 3 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, an installation compartment 4 installed on the top of the column 3, a flipping mechanism 6 installed on the inner wall of the installation compartment 4, and two opposing display screens 8 rotatably installed in the installation compartment 4 through the flipping mechanism 6. The flipping mechanism 6 is driven by a drive component 7, which is installed on the inner side wall of the installation compartment 4 near the bottom.
[0028] When railway passenger traffic is high, setting up multiple dual-screen guidance devices on the platform according to passenger flow distribution can effectively improve information transmission efficiency, ensure that passengers can quickly and accurately obtain travel information, optimize platform order, and improve overall operational efficiency.
[0029] After the flow of people decreases, the guidance equipment set up on the platform needs to be retrieved or repositioned in a timely manner. When retrieving or adjusting the equipment, the drive component 7 drives and controls the flipping mechanism 6 to make the display screen 8 flip smoothly and store it in the installation compartment 4, so as to avoid damage to fragile equipment such as the screen of the display screen 8, and at the same time facilitate the rapid redeployment of the equipment, ensuring the flexible and efficient operation of the platform guidance system.
[0030] The flipping mechanism 6 includes slide rails 61 located on the inner wall of one side of the mounting chamber 4 and close to the two display screens 8. Each slide rail 61 is slidably equipped with a connecting slider 62. The end of the connecting slider 62 near the inner wall of the mounting chamber 4 has a rotating chamber 64. A mounting shaft 63 is rotatably mounted on the connecting slider 62. One end of the mounting shaft 63 is rotatably mounted in the rotating chamber 64 and has a steel wire rope 65 wound around it. One end of the steel wire rope 65 is connected to a linkage plug rod 68. One end of the linkage plug rod 68 is slidably mounted in a limiting horizontal rail 67 and the other end is connected to the drive assembly 7. The limiting horizontal rail 67 is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting slider 62. The other end of the mounting shaft 63 extends through the connecting slider 62 and is used to fix the display screen 8.
[0031] When the display screen 8 is flipped and stored, the linkage plug rod 68 is connected to the drive component 7. At this time, the drive component 7 is activated, causing the linkage plug rod 68 to slide away from the display screen 8 within the limit rail 67. During the sliding process, the linkage plug rod 68 pulls the steel wire rope 65 to unfold. The unfolding of the steel wire rope 65 causes the mounting shaft 63 to rotate, thereby causing the mounting shaft 63 to smoothly flip the display screen 8 upwards by 160 degrees, completely storing one side of the screen into the mounting compartment 4, thus preventing the outer screen of the display screen 8 from being damaged by accidental collisions during transportation or when idle.
[0032] Optionally, a flipping mechanism 6 and a drive assembly 7 are provided on the inner walls of opposite sides of the mounting chamber 4. Each flipping mechanism 6 is driven by the drive assembly 7 located on the same inner wall of the mounting chamber 4. Each display screen 8 is connected to one of the two flipping mechanisms 63 on both sides, so that the two mounting shafts 63 can drive the display screen 8 to flip from opposite sides of the display screen 8, thereby improving the stability of the display screen 8 when flipping.
[0033] Optionally, this application also includes an electric telescopic rod 10, which is fixedly installed inside the column 3. A connecting rod 610 is sleeved on the electric telescopic rod 10, and the connecting rod 610 is connected to the crossbar 66. The crossbar 66 is installed on the connecting slider 62.
[0034] In this embodiment, before the display screen 8 is stored and flipped, the electric telescopic rod 10 is activated to retract it. The connecting rod 610 drives the crossbar 66 to move the connecting slider 62 a certain distance towards the bottom of the mounting chamber 4. The movement of the connecting slider 62 simultaneously drives the display screen 8 to move downward relative to the mounting chamber 4, ensuring that the display screen 8 maintains an appropriate distance from the inner wall of the mounting chamber 4 during the flipping process, ensuring that the display screen 8 is not obstructed during the flipping process, and reducing the risk of friction and collision during the flipping.
[0035] It should be noted that the mounting position between the display screen 8 and the mounting hinge 63 is close to the upper edge of the display screen 8. This reduces the space occupied by the display screen 8 inside the mounting compartment 4 during the flipping process, making the flipping and storage more compact and realizing the design concept of miniaturization of the guiding device. In addition, the top of the display screen 8 will not touch the electric telescopic rod 10 during the flipping process, avoiding the risk of collision.
[0036] Optionally, a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the mounting shaft 63 and the rotating chamber 64; a limit block 69 is provided at one end of the limit rail 67 near the display screen 8.
[0037] In this embodiment, when the display screen 8 is flipped and stored, the rotation of the steel wire rope 65 causes the torsion spring to compress and store torque. When the display screen 8 needs to be unfolded, the drive component 7 starts in reverse, the linkage connector 68 slides towards the display screen 8, the torsion spring releases the stored torque, causing the steel wire rope 65 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the mounting shaft 63 rotates accordingly. The display screen 8 is then smoothly unfolded to the working position, ensuring that the equipment can be put into use quickly and maintaining the high efficiency of platform information guidance. In addition, the design of the torsion spring makes the equipment more stable during the flipping process, keeping the connection between the steel wire rope 65 and the linkage connector 68 under tension at all times, avoiding unsmooth flipping due to loose connection.
[0038] The function of the limiting block 69 is to limit the sliding range of the linkage plug rod 68, prevent the linkage plug rod 68 from sliding excessively when the display screen 8 is unfolded, and at the same time make the display screen 8 present a certain angle relative to the mounting compartment 4 so that passengers can view the information more intuitively.
[0039] Optionally, the drive assembly 7 includes a gear 73, which is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting chamber 4 near the bottom. Two T-shaped rails 71 are arranged on the inner wall of the mounting chamber 4 with the gear 73 as the axis of symmetry. A rack 72 is slidably mounted on each of the two T-shaped rails 71. The upper and lower sides of the gear 73 mesh with the two racks 72 respectively. Each rack 72 has a through-hole 74 at one end near the display screen 8. Each through-hole 74 is used to insert the other end of the corresponding linkage rod 68.
[0040] In this embodiment, when the display screen 8 is flipped and stored or unfolded, the linkage rod 68 and the insertion hole 74 are in the insertion state. During flipping and storage, the rotation of the gear 73 drives the two racks 72 to slide along the T-shaped rail 71 away from the display screen 8. Simultaneously, the insertion hole 74 drives the linkage rod 68 to move accordingly. The movement of the linkage rod 68 further drives the steel wire rope 65 and the mounting shaft 63 to rotate in tandem, ensuring the display screen 8 is stably stored. During unfolding, the gear 73 rotates in the opposite direction, the racks 72 slide along the T-shaped rail 71 towards the display screen 8, the insertion hole 74 drives the linkage rod 68 to reset, the torsion spring releases torque, and the display screen 8 quickly unfolds to a preset angle, ensuring the immediacy and accuracy of information display.
[0041] It should be noted that by controlling the retraction of the electric telescopic rod 10, the position of the connecting slider 62 is changed, thereby adjusting the insertion state of the linkage plug rod 68 and the plug hole 74. That is, when the display screen 8 is flipped to store and unfold, the electric telescopic rod 10 is in the retracted state, even if the linkage plug rod 68 and the plug hole 74 are in the insertion state, ensuring that the display screen 8 is stable and reliable during storage and unfolding.
[0042] After the display screen 8 is fully extended, the electric telescopic rod 10 extends, raising the display screen 8 to a predetermined height to ensure that the passenger's line of sight is at the best angle to the display screen 8, thereby improving the convenience of information reading.
[0043] Optionally, the drive assembly 7 also includes a motor 75 and a pressure sensor 76. The motor 75 is mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting chamber 4, and the output shaft of the motor 75 is connected to the gear 73. The pressure sensor 76 is mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting chamber 4 with a corresponding insertion hole 74, and the pressure sensor 76 is connected to the motor 75 wire.
[0044] In this embodiment, after the linkage plug rod 68 is inserted into the plug hole 74 and moves downward to contact the pressure sensing plate 76 and generate a certain pressure, the pressure sensing plate 76 sends a signal to the motor 75, which then starts and drives the gear 73 to rotate. The setting of the pressure sensing plate 76 ensures that the motor 75 can only start after the linkage plug rod 68 and the plug hole 74 have achieved a stable plugging state, preventing misoperation caused by incomplete plugging, which could cause jamming or damage during the flipping, storage, and unfolding of the display screen 8, thus improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.
[0045] It should be noted that the pressure sensing plate 76 and the limiting block 69 are positioned to correspond to each other. When the display screen 8 is fully unfolded, the limiting block 69 makes the lower end of the linkage plug rod 68 correspond to the hole position of the plug hole 74, so that the linkage plug rod 68 can come into contact with the pressure sensing plate 76 after it is fully inserted into the plug hole 74.
[0046] Optionally, a detection mechanism 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation compartment 4. The detection mechanism 9 has built-in sensors that collect platform passenger flow data in real time and transmit it to the control center via a wireless module, so that the control center can adjust the guidance strategy in real time to ensure platform order and safety.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
