Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of early warning equipment technology, and in particular to a highway early warning horn. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of my country's expressway network and the sustained growth of motor vehicle ownership, expressway traffic flow is showing a rapid upward trend. Over long-term use, affected by vehicle loads and environmental factors, pavement performance gradually deteriorates. In addition, the increasing demand for road reconstruction and expansion has led to a significant increase in the frequency of expressway maintenance and construction.

[0003] At the same time, the highway traffic safety situation remains severe. Accident statistics and analysis show that speeding, illegal lane changes, and driving at low speeds are the main causes of traffic accidents. Current traffic safety management mainly relies on onboard terminal equipment to provide alerts for driving behavior. This decentralized management approach has significant shortcomings and makes it difficult to achieve unified intervention and effective control of violations.

[0004] Patent document CN220813516U discloses a directional high-volume horn warning device for highways, belonging to the field of highway safety management technology. It includes a clamping connector for connecting to a highway gantry signpost. An installation box is mounted above the clamping connector, and a servo stepper motor is fixedly installed inside the installation box. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the top of the output shaft of the servo stepper motor, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the installation box. A support plate is fixedly installed at the top of the rotating shaft, and a carrier plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate. Two support rods are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the carrier plate, and a directional high-volume horn body is fixedly installed between the two support rods. This invention can effectively utilize a single directional high-volume horn body to change direction and provide warnings to vehicles traveling in abnormal directions, effectively saving resources while ensuring the warning effect.

[0005] As mentioned in the prior art of the aforementioned patent, the highway environment is complex and changeable, and some sections are located on the side of hills. In windy weather, destructive external factors such as falling rocks are likely to damage them. However, existing horn devices do not have protective mechanisms, so their safety is not high. Even if some have protective devices, these devices are fixed by welding, which makes it inconvenient to inspect and repair the internal horn. Utility Model Content
