Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal signage technology, and in particular to a metal signage with a protective structure. Background Technology
[0002] In modern society, metal signs are widely used in various fields, from electronic products and home appliances to machinery and consumer products, and even in public management and traffic guidance. They are typically made from raw materials such as copper, iron, aluminum, zinc alloys, titanium, and stainless steel, and are produced through various processes including stamping, die casting, etching, printing, enamel, imitation enamel, baking paint, epoxy resin coating, and electroplating. The applications vary depending on the process. Existing metal signs with protective structures are difficult to replace when the protective cover is damaged by collisions or scratches, leading to increased repair time and economic costs, resulting in higher maintenance costs. Furthermore, installers need to repeatedly adjust the position of the protective cover during installation, reducing installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a metal sign with a protective structure, comprising a metal sign body 1 and a protective cover 2. A base plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metal sign body 1, and an installation component 4 for reducing maintenance costs and a positioning component 12 for improving installation efficiency are connected to the top of the base plate 3.
[0029] The mounting component 4 includes a fixing plate 5, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 3. A fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 5. A groove 7 is provided inside the fixing block 6, and a slider 8 is slidably connected inside the groove 7 to ensure the movement path of the slider 8.
[0030] Mounting assembly 4 also includes a spring 9 and a locking block 10. One end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the slider 8, and the other end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide groove 7. One end of the locking block 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective cover 2, and the other end of the locking block 10 has grooves on both sides. The front end of the slider 8 slides inside the grooves to fix the locking block 10. The positioning assembly 12 includes a positioning plate 13. The bottom of the positioning plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 3. The positioning plate 13 has a positioning groove 14 inside. The positioning assembly 12 also includes a positioning frame 15. One end of the positioning frame 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide groove 7. The protective cover 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective cover 2. The other end of the positioning bracket 15 slides inside the positioning groove 14, ensuring the installation accuracy of the protective cover 2. The bottom of the protective cover 2 is fixedly connected to a sealing gasket 11, which can fill the gap between the protective cover 2 and the metal sign body 1, preventing external pollutants such as dust, rainwater, and oil from entering and avoiding corrosion of the metal surface or contamination of the information area. The base plate 3 has mounting holes 16 at the four corners for mounting the metal sign body 1. The protective cover 2 is made of acrylic and will not obstruct the graphic information of the metal sign body 1.
[0031] Working principle: First, the metal sign body 1 is fixed in the target position through the mounting holes 16 at the four corners of the base plate 3. When installing the protective cover 2, the positioning bracket 15 is inserted into the positioning groove 14 of the positioning plate 13. The positioning component 12 is used to ensure that the protective cover 2 is accurately aligned, improving installation efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the locking block 10 approaches the fixing plate 5 and pushes the slider 8 to slide backward along the slide groove 7 against the elastic force of the spring 9. When the locking block 10 is fully in the movable range of the front end of the slider 8, the spring 9 returns to its original position and pushes the slider 8 forward to lock into the grooves on both sides of the locking block 10, thus firmly fixing the protective cover 2. When maintenance is required, simply apply force to move the slider 8 backward and disengage it from the groove of the locking block 10 to quickly remove the protective cover 2 without replacing the entire metal sign body 1, reducing maintenance costs.
