Detailed Implementation
[0034] Example: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a wayfinding device for urban and rural traffic planning includes a support column 1 (previously known technology), an adjusting column 2 slidably connected inside the support column 1, and a rotating shaft 3 slidably connected inside the adjusting column 2. Figure 4 As shown, both the adjusting column 2 and the support column 1 have guide grooves inside, and both the adjusting column 2 and the rotating shaft 3 have guide blocks on the outside. The guide grooves and guide blocks limit the movement of the adjusting column 2 and the rotating shaft 3, preventing them from rotating. The structure is simple and the technology is mature, so details will not be elaborated here. A rotating column 4 is rotatably connected inside the rotating shaft 3. This rotatable connection allows the rotating shaft 3 to rotate inside the rotating column 4. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of the screw 41 and the threaded hole 22, the rotating shaft 4 is driven to adjust its height. Figure 5 As can be seen, there is a limiting plate between the rotating shaft 4 and the screw 41. A screw 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating column 4. The external thread of the screw 41 is connected to the inside of the adjusting column 2. Several guide brackets 5 are rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 3. A locking bolt 10 is connected to the internal thread of the support column 1. One side of the locking bolt 10 overlaps with one side of the adjusting column 2. By setting the locking bolt 10, the adjusting column 2 can be loosened by loosening the tightening bolt 10, and the height of the adjusting column 2 can be adjusted by sliding it up and down. After adjustment, it can be tightened again.
[0035] Two wayfinding signs 6 are snapped onto both sides of the wayfinding frame 5. KT boards can be used to record wayfinding information. A sleeve 7 is snapped onto the outside of the wayfinding frame 5. The bottom of the sleeve 7 is open. When the wayfinding sign 6 needs to be replaced, the bottom of the sleeve 7 can be moved to both sides and the sign can be removed from the wayfinding frame 5 by using its flexibility. The technology is mature and will not be described in detail here. A fixing sleeve 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the wayfinding frame 5. A connecting sleeve 9 is snapped onto one side of the fixing sleeve 8.
[0036] The guide frame 5 has a placement slot 51 on both sides for placing the guide sign 6. The outside of the guide sign 6 is snapped into the inside of the corresponding placement slot 51. The guide frame 5 has a connecting slot 52 on both sides.
[0037] The card sleeve 7 is made of acrylic material, which makes it easy to observe the information on the signboard 6 by utilizing its excellent light transmission. The card sleeve 7 has a connecting block 71 fixedly connected inside. The outside of the connecting block 71 is snapped into the inside of the corresponding connecting groove 52. The connecting block 71 can cooperate with the connecting groove 52 to make it waterproof and prevent rainwater from entering and affecting the clarity.
[0038] Both the fixing sleeve 8 and the connecting sleeve 9 have a first fixing ring 91 fixedly connected to their tops. The first fixing ring 91 is semi-circular. Both the fixing sleeve 8 and the connecting sleeve 9 have a first fixing groove 92 at their bottoms. The first fixing groove 92 is also semi-circular. The two first fixing grooves 91 on the fixing sleeve 8 and the corresponding connecting sleeve 9 can form a complete circular groove, and the complete circular groove has the same specifications as the second fixing groove 32. The two first fixing rings 91 on the fixing sleeve 8 and the corresponding connecting sleeve 9 form a complete circular ring, and the complete circular ring has the same specifications as the second fixing ring 23. The technology is mature and will not be elaborated here. The top of both the fixed sleeve 8 and the connecting sleeve 9 is fixedly connected with several first protrusions 93. The first protrusions 93 and the second protrusions 24 are both hemispherical of the same size and are distributed in a circle. The bottom of both the fixed sleeve 8 and the connecting sleeve 9 is provided with several first grooves 94. The first grooves 94 and the second grooves 33 are both hemispherical of the same size and are distributed in a circle. Through the cooperation of the first protrusions 93 and the second protrusions 24 and the first grooves 94 and the second grooves 33, the angle can be limited to prevent the guide frame 5 from rotating after installation.
[0039] The fixed sleeve 8 has four mounting slots 81 on one side and two positioning holes 82 on the other side. The interior of the two positioning holes 82 is connected to the interior of the corresponding mounting slots 81. A positioning pin 83 is inserted into the interior of each of the two positioning holes 82. After the mounting block 95 is inserted into the mounting slot 81, the positioning pin 83 is inserted into the positioning hole 82 and locked in the slot 96 to prevent the fixed sleeve 8 and the corresponding connecting sleeve 9 from separating.
[0040] Four mounting blocks 95 are fixedly connected to one side of the connecting sleeve 9. The outside of the four mounting blocks 95 are respectively inserted into the inside of the corresponding mounting slots 81. A slot 96 is opened on one side of each of the four mounting blocks 95.

[0042] An internal connecting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the adjusting column 2. A threaded hole 22 is opened on one side of the connecting plate 21. A second fixing ring 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the adjusting column 2. Several second protrusions 24 are fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting column 2. The cooperation of the first fixing ring 91, the first fixing groove 92, the second fixing ring 23 and the second fixing groove 32 can further improve the mechanical structure and ensure the stability of the device.
[0043] The outer side of the first fixing ring 91 is rotatably connected to the interior of the corresponding first fixing groove 92 or the second fixing groove 32, the outer side of the second fixing ring 23 is rotatably connected to the interior of the corresponding first fixing groove 92, the outer side of the first protrusion 93 is respectively engaged with the interior of the corresponding first groove 94 or the second groove 33, and the outer side of the second protrusion 24 is respectively engaged with the corresponding first groove 94.
[0044] A knob 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column 4. One side of the knob 42 is rotatably connected to the outside of the pressure plate 31. The external thread of the screw 41 is connected to the inside of the threaded hole 22. The screw 41 can be rotated by rotating the knob 42, thereby adjusting the extension length of the rotating shaft 3 to facilitate the addition or removal of the guide frame later. After the addition or removal is completed, the knob 42 is rotated to move the rotating shaft 3 down and lock it by pressing down the pressure plate 31.
[0045] A wayfinding device for urban and rural transportation planning works on the following principle:
[0046] 1) In use, by loosening the tightening bolt 10, the adjusting column 2 can be loosened and then slid up and down to adjust its height. After adjustment, it can be tightened again.
[0047] 2) When it is necessary to add a wayfinding sign 6, turn the knob 42. With the cooperation of the screw 41 and the threaded hole 22, the rotating shaft 3 moves upward, leaving room for operation. Put the fixing sleeve 8 and connecting sleeve 9 on the added wayfinding frame 5 on the outside of the rotating column 4, and insert the positioning column 83 into the positioning hole 82. After adjusting the angle, turn the knob 42 in the opposite direction, and the rotating shaft 3 moves downward to lock the wayfinding frame 5.
[0048] 3) When it is necessary to reduce the number of wayfinding signs 6, turn the knob 42. With the cooperation of the screw 41 and the threaded hole 22, the rotating shaft 3 will move upward, leaving room for operation. Pull out the positioning pin 83 in the positioning hole 82, and the fixing sleeve 8 and connecting sleeve 9 on the wayfinding frame 5 can be removed from the rotating pin 4. Turn the knob 42 in the opposite direction, and the rotating shaft 3 will move downward. Then, tighten it again.
[0049] 4) When the angle of the guide frame 5 needs to be adjusted, simply turn the knob 42 to allow the guide frame 5 to rotate. After turning, turn the knob in the opposite direction to lock it again.
[0050] 5) When the signboard 6 needs to be replaced, the bottom of the sleeve 7 can be moved to both sides and removed from the signboard frame 5 by using its flexibility, so that the signboard 6 in the placement slot 51 can be replaced.
[0051] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0052] In this invention, the use of the clip 7 allows for easy replacement of the signboard 6 when adjustments to the information are needed later, eliminating the need for a complete replacement. This makes the device more convenient and less costly. The number of signboards 6 and guide frames 5 can be increased or decreased according to future needs. Angle adjustment is convenient, and the movable installation between the support column 1 and the adjustment column 2 facilitates height adjustment after installation. Furthermore, the device height can be lowered during later adjustments to the signboards 6 and guide frames 5 for easier operation, ensuring the device's practicality.
