Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic reset mechanism positioning devices, specifically a counterweight type automatic reset mechanism positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] The counterweight-type automatic reset mechanism positioning device is a mechanical device that integrates counterweight and automatic reset functions. Its core function is to enable the equipment to automatically return to its original position when it deviates from its initial position due to external force or vibration through the gravity of the counterweight or mechanical structure.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with authorization number CN219753072U, which discloses a traffic cone that can automatically reset after tipping over. The cone includes a hollow cone body with reflective warning strips on its surface. A vertical hollow block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow cone body, and an angle is formed between the side of the hollow block and the oblique side of the hollow cone body. A reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hollow block near the hollow cone body, enclosing the hollow block. A counterweight is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow block, and the side of the counterweight away from the hollow block has rounded corners. After being tipped over by an impact, the traffic cone can automatically reset and stand upright under the weight of the counterweight, in conjunction with the hollow block and the reinforcing rib, without requiring manual repositioning. This ensures that the traffic cone can still function as a traffic warning cone after being tipped over by an impact.
[0004] The above-mentioned patent has the following shortcomings: When the vertebra is impacted, the whole body will tilt. When the impact is too large, the impact force on the whole vertebra is difficult to completely offset. The vertebra will slide forward a distance, causing the automatically reset vertebra to leave its original position, affecting the subsequent correct warning guidance. Even the misaligned vertebra may be misleading. In addition, the cone is difficult to adjust the height to adapt to various usage scenarios. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a counterweight-type automatic reset mechanism positioning device to solve the technical problems of existing cones being unable to completely offset the impact force after being subjected to a large impact, being prone to sliding forward and causing positional deviation, affecting correct warning guidance and even causing misunderstanding, and having difficulty adjusting the height of the cone.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a counterweight-type automatic reset mechanism positioning device, comprising a first counterweight seat and a reset mechanism, wherein the reset mechanism comprises a first slide groove and a second slide groove, a first magnetic block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first slide groove, a second magnetic block is magnetically connected to the first magnetic block, a counterweight is glued to the top of the second magnetic block, and a pull rope is fixedly connected to the top of the counterweight.
[0007] The outer surface of the counterweight is provided with a retaining ball, and the lower inner wall of the first slide groove is provided with a retaining groove for the retaining ball to engage. The upper inner wall of the first slide groove and the inner wall of the second slide groove are both provided with a third slide groove for the retaining ball to slide. A limit block is fixedly connected to the top of the second slide groove, and a spring sleeve is provided on the top of the limit block.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are magnetically connected. When the device is impacted, the magnetic attraction between the two will generate a buffering effect. After the impact is completed, the magnetic attraction can help the counterweight block to quickly reset.
[0009] Furthermore, four ball bearings are provided, and the four ball bearings are arranged in a circumferential array at equal intervals.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the four locking balls are arranged in a circumferential array at equal intervals, which makes the stress on the locking part more uniform during long-term use and reduces the risk of locking failure caused by excessive local stress.
[0011] Furthermore, the card slots are provided in four groups, and each group of card slots is arranged in a circumferential array with four slots evenly spaced.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hollow cone is impacted, the process of the ball being inserted into and detached from the slot can offset part of the impact force. When the ball is inserted into the slot, the interaction between the two will produce a buffering effect.
[0013] Furthermore, four spring sleeve rods are provided, and the four spring sleeve rods are arranged in a circumferential array at equal intervals.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the arrangement of the circumferential array enables the four spring sleeves to provide stable support for the hollow cone from all directions, maintaining the balance and stability of the hollow cone and preventing it from tilting or swaying.
[0015] Furthermore, a second counterweight is welded to the top of the first counterweight, and a hollow cone is overlapped on the top of the second counterweight.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the first counterweight base, as the basic part of the device, provides a stable support platform. The second counterweight base is welded on top of the first counterweight base, increasing the overall weight of the device, so that the device can remain stable and not easily tip over when subjected to external forces.
[0017] Furthermore, the outer surface of the hollow vertebra is fixedly connected with ribs, and an installation groove is provided at the bottom of the hollow vertebra.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the ribs are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hollow cone, which increases the structural strength of the hollow cone. When the device is subjected to external impact, the ribs can withstand and disperse part of the impact force, preventing the hollow cone from deforming or being damaged due to excessive local stress, thereby extending the service life of the device.
[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0020] 1. This utility model, by setting a reset mechanism, allows the counterweight in the reset mechanism to be pulled up by a rope and slide in the first and second slide grooves after being impacted. After the impact is completed, the counterweight falls back due to gravity and automatically resets by pulling the hollow cone body through the rope. This effectively solves the problem that existing cone bodies are difficult to completely offset the impact force after being impacted and are prone to sliding forward, causing positional deviation. It ensures that the hollow cone body can always remain in the correct position and provides accurate warning guidance. When the counterweight slides in the slide groove, the process of the ball entering and leaving the slot and the magnetic effect of the magnetic block jointly offset part of the impact force, further enhancing the impact resistance of the device. By adjusting the height of the counterweight, the sliding distance of the counterweight in the slide groove can be changed, adjusting the impact force offsetting effect and the height of the equipment, thus improving the adaptability and practicality of the device.
[0021] 2. This utility model, by setting a hollow cone and ribs, with the ribs wider than the hollow cone serving as contact points to bear the impact during impact, avoids the counterweight bearing the impact, thus improving the service life of the equipment. At the same time, when the hollow cone is impacted, the ribs can disperse the impact force, reduce damage to the hollow cone itself, enhance the structural stability of the hollow cone, and prevent damage or deformation during impact.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] A counterweight-type automatic reset mechanism positioning device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a first counterweight 1 and a reset mechanism 5. The reset mechanism 5 includes a first slide 501 and a second slide 502. A first magnetic block 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first slide 501. A second magnetic block 504 is magnetically connected to the first magnetic block 503. A counterweight 505 is glued to the top of the second magnetic block 504. A pull rope 506 is fixedly connected to the top of the counterweight 505.
[0029] The outer surface of the counterweight 505 is provided with a retaining ball 507. The lower inner wall of the first slide groove 501 is provided with a retaining groove 508 for the retaining ball 507 to engage. The upper inner wall of the first slide groove 501 and the inner wall of the second slide groove 502 are provided with a third slide groove 509 for the retaining ball 507 to slide. The top of the second slide groove 502 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 510. The top of the limiting block 510 is provided with a spring sleeve rod 511. The first magnetic block 503 and the second magnetic block 504 are magnetically connected. When the device is impacted, the magnetic attraction between the two will generate a buffer effect. After the impact, the magnetic attraction can help the counterweight 505 to quickly reset. The third slide groove 509 provides a clear path for the retaining ball 507 to slide, ensuring that the counterweight 505 can move smoothly and steadily in the slide groove.
[0030] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 There are four locking balls 507 arranged in a circumferential array at equal intervals. This arrangement ensures that the stress on the locking parts is more uniform during long-term use, reducing the risk of locking failure due to excessive local stress. When it is necessary to adjust the installation height of the hollow cone 3, the locking balls 507 can be locked into different slots 508, working in conjunction with the counterweight 505, pull rope 506, and other structures to achieve the adjustment of the installation height.
[0031] See Figure 3, Figure 4 The slots 508 are provided in four sets, with four slots 508 evenly spaced in a circular array in each set. When the hollow cone 3 is impacted, the process of the ball 507 entering and exiting the slot 508 can offset part of the impact force. When the ball 507 enters the slot 508, the interaction between the two will produce a buffering effect. The four sets of slots 508 can raise the height of the counterweight by pulling the hollow cone 3 to make the ball 507 enter different slots 508. At the same time, the spring sleeve rod 511 connected to the hollow cone 3 can support the hollow cone 3 by elastically extending the corresponding length, thereby realizing the adjustment of the installation height of the hollow cone 3.
[0032] See Figure 3 There are four spring sleeve rods 511, which are arranged in a circumferential array at equal intervals. The circumferential array arrangement allows the four spring sleeve rods 511 to provide stable support for the hollow cone 3 from all directions, maintaining the balance and stability of the hollow cone 3 and preventing it from tilting or swaying. The four spring sleeve rods 511 arranged in a circumferential array at equal intervals have a stable structure, are not prone to failure, and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The top of the first counterweight 1 is welded with a second counterweight 2, and the top of the second counterweight 2 is connected to a hollow cone 3. The first counterweight 1 serves as the foundation of the device, providing a stable support platform. The second counterweight 2 is welded to the top of the first counterweight 1, increasing the overall weight of the device and enabling it to remain stable and not easily tip over when subjected to external forces. The hollow cone 3 is connected to the top of the second counterweight 2, allowing the hollow cone 3 to effectively separate from the counterweight when impacted, thus offsetting the impact.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The hollow cone 3 has a rib 4 fixedly connected to its outer surface. The bottom of the hollow cone 3 has an installation groove 6. The rib 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hollow cone 3, which increases the structural strength of the hollow cone 3. When the device is subjected to external impact, the rib 4 can withstand and disperse part of the impact force, preventing the hollow cone 3 from deforming or being damaged due to excessive local stress, thereby extending the service life of the device. The installation groove 6 at the bottom of the hollow cone 3 provides support space for the spring sleeve rod 511.
[0035] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the reinforcing bar 4 prevents the hollow cone 3 from being damaged by impact, while allowing the hollow cone 3 to withstand the impact before the first counterweight 1 and the second counterweight 2. After the hollow cone 3 is impacted, it separates from the second counterweight 2 to offset the impact force. At the same time, the counterweight block 505 is pulled up by the pull rope 506, causing the counterweight block 505 to slide in the first slide groove 501 and the second slide groove 502. Meanwhile, the locking ball 507 can offset part of the impact force by locking and disengaging from the locking groove 508. The first magnetic block 503 and the second magnetic block 504 can offset part of the impact force through magnetism. After the impact is completed, the counterweight block 505 falls back by gravity, and at the same time, the hollow cone 3 is pulled back to its original position by the pull rope 506.
[0036] When it is necessary to adjust the installation height or impact resistance of the hollow cone 3, the hollow cone 3 can be pulled to make the locking ball 507 lock into different locking slots 508 to raise the height of the counterweight 505. At the same time, the spring sleeve rod 511 connected to the hollow cone 3 will stretch to the corresponding length to support the hollow cone 3. When it is necessary to reset, the hollow cone 3 can be pulled to make the locking ball 507 slide into the third sliding groove 509. Then, the hand can be released to make the counterweight 505 fall back to reset by gravity. The reset mechanism 5 is not limited to being used on traffic cones, but can also be used on other compatible equipment for adjustment and reset.
