[0045] The present invention will now be described in detail.

[0046] on the one hand:

[0047] like Figures 1-5 As shown:

[0048] This utility model discloses a standing signboard that is easy to store and move, including a signboard 1, a fixed bracket 2 for mounting the signboard 1 and rotating with the signboard 1, a locking mechanism 4 mounted on the fixed bracket 2 for locking and fixing the signboard 1, and a movable bracket 3 on top of the fixed bracket 2 for supporting the fixed bracket 2; the center of the fixed bracket 2 and the centerline of the movable bracket 3 are on the same plane; the movable bracket 3 has a slot 323.

[0049] When stored, the movable brackets 3 in the two adjacent standing signboards are stacked and stored through slots 323.

[0050] The sign 12 is dual-purpose, allowing for 180° rotation to switch between front and back views. When in use, rotating the sign 12 allows personnel outside the construction site to understand the specific situation of the site based on the warning labels. For example, a "Operation" warning indicates normal operation, while a "Under Maintenance" warning indicates that the site is under maintenance. This allows personnel outside the construction site to perform different maintenance operations based on the warning labels.

[0051] The locking mechanism 4 is used to lock and fix the sign 12 to the fixed bracket 2 for maintenance, so as to avoid misunderstanding by construction site personnel due to the free rotation of the sign 12;

[0052] When storing the signboards after use, the slots 323 on one set of movable brackets 3 will be inserted into another set of adjacent movable brackets 3 to stack and store all the standing signboards, thereby greatly reducing the space occupied.

[0053] In some possible implementations, in order to effectively support and fix the fixed bracket 2 by means of the movable bracket 3, the movable bracket 3 includes two sets of connecting rods 31 symmetrically arranged and installed at the bottom of the fixed bracket 2, and a U-shaped support 32 connected to the end of the connecting rods 31 away from the fixed bracket 2 and having a U-shaped structure;

[0054] The connecting rod 31 is inclined, and the angle formed by the axis of the connecting rod 31 and the plane where the fixed bracket 2 is located is A, where A is an obtuse angle; the U-shaped support 32 is located on the same side as the fixed bracket 2.

[0055] Preferably, A=135°, and the included angle formed by the U-shaped support 32 and the connecting rod 31 is B, B=45°.

[0056] The bottom of the fixed bracket 2 is connected to the U-shaped support 32 by two sets of connecting rods 31. The connecting rods 31 are inclined so that the U-shaped support 32 will not tip over when supporting the fixed bracket 2.

[0057] In some possible implementations, in order to effectively enable the movable support 3 to control the movement of the fixed support 2 and the sign 12, a roller 33 is provided at the connection between the U-shaped support 32 and the connecting rod 31; the axis of the roller 33 is located above the U-shaped support 32, and in use, the U-shaped support 32 is located on the support surface, and the roller 33 does not contact the support surface; the support surface is generally a floor or ground.

[0058] Furthermore, the U-shaped support 32 and the connecting rod 31 have a rounded transition;

[0059] Specifically, when the fixed bracket 2 is moved, the fixed bracket 2 is controlled to be tilted. At this time, the moving bracket 3 will be tilted, and the U-shaped bracket will no longer be in contact with the support surface. Instead, the roller 33 will be in contact with the support surface. Then, the entire device can be moved by pushing the fixed bracket 2.

[0060] After being moved to the designated position, the fixed bracket 2 will return from the tilted state to the initial state (vertical state). At this time, the U-shaped support 32 will act on the support surface, and the roller 33 will no longer be in contact with the support surface. The fixed bracket 2 is supported by the U-shaped support 32, and the roller 33 is no longer in contact with the support surface, effectively preventing movement.

[0061] In some possible implementations, the U-shaped support 32 includes two sets of support rods 321 respectively connected to the end of the connecting rod 31 away from the fixed bracket 2, and connecting rods 322 respectively connected to the two sets of support rods 321; the planes of the two sets of support rods 321 and connecting rods 322 are perpendicular to the plane of the fixed bracket 2.

[0062] The connecting rod 322 is set between the two sets of support rods 321 to form a U-shaped support 32 with the connection of the two sets of support rods 321. When the fixed bracket 2 is in a vertical state, the U-shaped support 32 will be in a horizontal state, so that the U-shaped support 32 can effectively support the fixed bracket 2 for maintenance.

[0063] In some possible implementations, the two sets of support rods 321 cooperate to form a figure-eight slot 323, and the larger end is provided with a side close to the connecting rod 31.

[0064] Two sets of support rods 321 cooperate to form a V-shaped slot 323. When storing, after one set of standing sign 12 moves to the designated position, it controls one side of the other standing sign 12 and causes the slot 323 to be inserted into the outside of the upper set of U-shaped support 32, thereby achieving stacked storage.

[0065] In some possible implementations, the fixing bracket 2 includes an annular frame with an internal mounting cavity for mounting the sign plate 1; the sign plate 1 includes a main frame 11 with an annular structure and rotatably engaged with the annular frame, a sign 12 mounted inside the main frame 11 and coaxially arranged, and a rotating shaft arranged on the main frame 11 and rotatably engaged with the annular bracket; the rotating shaft is formed on one side of the main frame 11, and the axes of the two sets of rotating shafts are coaxially arranged; for example, one set of rotating shafts is located at the top of the main frame 11, and the other set is located at the bottom of the main frame 11;

[0066] A shaft hole is provided on the ring frame to cooperate with the rotating shaft, thereby effectively realizing the rotational cooperation between the main frame 11 and the ring frame;

[0067] Sign 12 is made of stainless steel and has a smooth surface; warning lettering is printed on its surface.

[0068] The main frame 11 has the same outline as the annular frame; the annular frame and the main frame 11 can be either square or circular, and are set accordingly; that is, when the annular frame is square, the main frame 11 is also square; the centers of the two squares are concentric; when both are circular, the centers of the two circles are concentric.

[0069] Furthermore, the small gap between the main frame 11 and the annular frame makes it easier for the locking mechanism 4 to lock and fix the gap between the main frame 11 and the annular frame; when the sign plate 1 is locked, the main frame 11 will be located inside the annular frame; different warning words are provided on both sides of the sign 12, for example, "In Operation" is provided on one side and "Under Maintenance" is provided on the other side.

[0070] In some possible implementations, the locking mechanism 4 includes a buckle 42 that is hinged to the fixed bracket 2 and has a slot 421; when the sign plate 1 is locked, the annular frame and the main frame 11 will be located on the same plane and the annular frame and the main frame 11 will be located in the slot 421.

[0071] In some possible implementations, the buckle 42 includes a fixed shaft 41 mounted on an annular frame and a buckle that is hinged to the fixed shaft 41 and has a buckle groove 421. The annular frame has a hole for mounting the fixed shaft 41, and the buckle is hinged to the fixed shaft 41, thereby controlling the buckle to rotate around the axis of the fixed shaft 41, so that the edge of the buckle on the opening side of the buckle groove 421 can rotate.

[0072] The buckle includes a fastener with a slot and an ear seat disposed on the fastener and rotatably engaging with the fixed shaft 41; there are two sets of ear seats.

[0073] Specifically, when it is necessary to fix the main frame 11 and the annular frame, the control buckle rotates around the fixing axis 41, and the opening of the slot 421 rotates around the fixing axis 41 towards the side closer to the main frame 11. The slot 421 will first be fitted onto the outside of the annular frame, and the continuous rotation will cause the main frame 11 to also be at least partially located in the slot 421; thus, the main frame 11 and the annular frame are located in the same slot 421, and fixed.

[0074] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 4 can also be fixed with pins. Specifically, through holes are provided on the annular frame and the main frame 11 respectively. When the main frame 11 is rotated, the through holes on the main frame 11 are coaxially connected with the through holes on the annular frame, and the pins can be inserted. In this way, there are two sets of through holes on the annular frame, which are symmetrically arranged along the rotation axis of the main frame 11, and one set of through holes on the main frame 11, so that the main frame 11 can be fixed when displaying warning words on different sides.

[0075] When switching the warning text, the locking mechanism 4 will not fix and lock the main frame 11 and the ring frame.

[0076] Furthermore, the fixed brackets 2 are distributed around the perimeter of the sign, forming an integrated structure; this utility model can be customized according to different usage scenarios and has strong versatility.

[0077] on the other hand:

[0078] This utility model discloses a method for using a standing signboard that is easy to store and move, as described above, specifically including the following steps;

[0079] According to the usage requirements, control the rotation of the sign 12 so that the warning surface of the sign 12 can play a warning role, and then lock and fix the sign 12 and the fixed bracket 2 through the locking mechanism 4.

[0080] After use, control the fixed bracket 2 to tilt away from the U-shaped support 32, so that the roller 33 contacts the support surface to form a support point; push or drag the standing signboard to the target position; the fixed bracket 2 no longer tilts, the roller 33 separates from the support surface, and the U-shaped support 32 contacts the support surface and is placed in the designated position.

[0081] Align the U-shaped supports 32 of another set of standing signs with the U-shaped supports 32 of the standing signs that are in place, so that the standing signs are neatly stacked and stored together.

[0082] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. This invention extends to any new feature or combination disclosed in this specification, as well as any new method or process step or combination disclosed herein.
