Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and in particular to a school bus parking sign with an oncoming vehicle warning function. Background Technology

[0002] School bus stop signs are crucial for ensuring the safe operation of school buses and protecting students' safety when boarding and alighting. Their functions are primarily reflected in the following aspects: **Warning to other vehicles and ensuring safety:** When a school bus stops and the driver extends the stop sign, it acts as a prominent signal, instructing other vehicles to stop and wait. This effectively prevents other vehicles from recklessly driving while students are boarding or alighting, reducing the possibility of traffic accidents and creating a safe environment for students. **Regulating order and improving efficiency:** The stop sign clearly defines the special status of a school bus stop, making traffic order more standardized. Other vehicles are clearly aware that they must yield, preventing chaotic situations such as rushing or arbitrary lane changes, which helps school buses quickly complete the process of boarding and alighting students, improving operational efficiency. **Enhancing awareness and protecting students:** It constantly reminds surrounding drivers and pedestrians that the school bus is transporting students and requires special attention and courtesy, thereby enhancing the entire society's awareness of student traffic safety.

[0003] However, the existing school bus parking signs are too simple in function, lacking the ability to monitor and warn of vehicles approaching from behind. Although there are safety officers supervising students when they get off the bus, some students need to cross the road to the other side after getting off. When they cross in front of the bus, there is a risk of "ghost peeking out" (students suddenly appearing from behind the bus). Therefore, this application proposes a school bus parking sign with a vehicle approach warning function. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a school bus stop sign with oncoming vehicle warning function, including a control box 1, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the control box 1, both ends of the rotating shaft extending to the outside of the control box 1 and fixedly connected to a connecting frame 2, a drive device for rotating the rotating shaft inside the control box 1, the drive device being a motor or electric cylinder, and a box body 3 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame 2; a warning component, used to alert students and oncoming drivers, the warning component being connected to the box body 3, the warning component including a mounting base 6 installed inside the box body 3, a buzzer 7, a camera sensor 8, a millimeter-wave radar sensor 9 and an LED warning light 10 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting base 6, the camera sensor 8 acquiring image information of the road behind, and then using an image recognition algorithm to detect and analyze vehicles in the image, recognizing features such as vehicle shape, color, and license plate, and can also identify ... identify features such as vehicle shape, color, and license plate, and can identify features such as vehicle shape, color, and license plate, and can identify features such as vehicle shape, color, and license plate, and can identify features The image changes are used to estimate the speed and distance of vehicles, providing rich visual information and strong recognition capabilities in complex scenes. The millimeter-wave radar sensor 9 uses electromagnetic waves in the millimeter-wave band to detect target objects. By emitting millimeter-wave signals and receiving reflected waves, it analyzes the frequency changes and time delays of the reflected waves to determine information such as the distance, speed, and angle of vehicles behind. With the cooperation of the camera sensor 8 and the millimeter-wave radar sensor 9, it can achieve comprehensive and high-precision vehicle detection. It also works with the buzzer 7 and LED warning light 10 to issue warnings to students and drivers of approaching vehicles. A reflector 603 is provided on one side of the mounting base 6. A sealing cover 4 is detachably connected to the outside of the box 3. The sealing cover 4 is made of transparent material, and the reflector 603 abuts against one side of the sealing cover 4. The sealing cover 4 is made of tempered glass or transparent acrylic sheet. The reflector 603 can alert the driver outside the detection range to remind the driver to slow down and give way.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the box body 3 is provided with multiple protrusions 301, and each protrusion 301 has a through hole 302. Multiple insertion rods 401 are fixedly connected to one side of the sealing cover 4, and the insertion rods 401 are inserted into the through hole 302. Multiple screws 303 are inserted into the box body 3 and threadedly connected to the insertion rods 401. By opening the through hole 302 in the box body 3, the insertion rods 401 and screws 303 can be easily inserted. The sealing cover 4 is fixed to the outside of the box body 3 by the screws 303 and the insertion rods 401 to seal the box body 3. Multiple recesses 602 that cooperate with the protrusions 301 are provided at equal intervals on the mounting base 6. The recesses 602 on the mounting base 6 can be locked on the outside of the protrusions 301, thereby guiding the mounting base 6 during installation and preventing the mounting base 6 from rotating inside the box body 3, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, an electrical box 5 is fixedly connected inside the box 3. A battery 501 and a PCB board 502 are fixedly connected inside the electrical box 5. A fixed terminal 503 is provided on the side of the electrical box 5 near the mounting base 6. A contact terminal 601 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 6, and the contact terminal 601 contacts the fixed terminal 503. By using the fixed terminal 503 on the electrical box 5 in conjunction with the contact terminal 601 at the bottom of the mounting base 6, the traditional wiring method can be replaced. Power can be supplied by direct contact during installation, which facilitates the installation, removal and maintenance of the parking sign.

[0029] In summary: When using this device, the school bus driver activates the drive unit inside the control box 1, which rotates the connecting frame 2 and the box 3, causing the box 3 to rotate out. The reflector ring 603 can then alert oncoming drivers, prompting them to slow down and yield. If the oncoming driver is not paying attention or fails to slow down, once the vehicle enters the monitoring range, the camera sensor 8 and the millimeter-wave radar sensor 9 work together to perform video and radar monitoring. Subsequently, the control module on the PCB board 502 can control the buzzer 7 and the LED warning light 10 to operate. The buzzer 7 sounds an alarm and the LED warning light 10 flashes to alert students and oncoming drivers, prompting them to take evasive action and reducing the occurrence of dangerous situations.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
