Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic investigation vehicle technology, and in particular to a traffic accident scene investigation vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] A traffic accident scene investigation vehicle is a special vehicle designed specifically for traffic accident scene investigation. It integrates functions such as scene surveying, evidence collection, data processing, and emergency command, aiming to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of the investigation. By integrating a variety of professional equipment and technologies, it helps the police, traffic management departments, or relevant personnel to quickly and comprehensively record accident scene information, providing key evidence for accident liability determination, cause analysis, and follow-up handling.
[0003] Existing technologies, such as patent CN220429987U, disclose a traffic accident scene investigation vehicle. This patent uses a vehicle body with a vertically mounted mounting rod. A telescopic rod is mounted on the side wall of the mounting rod, perpendicular to the mounting rod. A camera is mounted on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod. When the telescopic rod extends, the camera can move above the accident vehicle to take a top-down view. This utility model device solves the problem that in existing devices, the camera is fixed to the roof of the vehicle body via a connecting rod. Although in practical applications the camera can rotate circumferentially using rotating devices such as a gimbal, the camera cannot move laterally, thus limiting the ability to capture images of traffic accident scenes.
[0004] In daily operation, the existing equipment typically has cameras fixed to the upper surface of the vehicle body. When conducting accident scene investigations, the fixed installation of the cameras makes it difficult to investigate areas that are far or near, resulting in unclear investigations.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a traffic accident scene investigation vehicle, comprising a vehicle body, a warning light, a camera, an indicator plate, and a mounting base. The warning light is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body, the mounting base is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body, the indicator plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base, the camera is mounted above the vehicle body, an adjustment device is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body, the adjustment device includes a connecting rod and a connecting column, the connecting column is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body, the connecting rod is slidably connected inside the connecting column, the camera is mounted on the upper end of the connecting rod, a mounting ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod, and a cylinder is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting ring.
[0007] Furthermore, an installation block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder. The installation block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting column. By setting the installation block, the cylinder can be limited, reducing the possibility that the cylinder may easily detach from the surface of the connecting column during use, thus preventing the cylinder from running smoothly.
[0008] Furthermore, a limiting rod is fixedly connected inside the connecting column, and the mounting ring is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting rod. The limiting rod is provided to facilitate the limiting movement of the mounting ring.
[0009] Furthermore, the surface of the connecting column is provided with a movable groove, and the mounting ring is slidably connected inside the movable groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the indicator plate is provided with a protective device, which includes a protective cover and a groove. The protective cover is fitted onto the surface of the indicator plate, and the groove is formed on the side of the mounting base. An insert plate is slidably connected inside the groove. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of the protective cover, and a slot is formed on the surface of the connecting block. The insert plate engages with the side of the connecting block. By providing a protective cover, the indicator plate can be protected, reducing the likelihood of the indicator plate being easily damaged and unable to function properly during equipment use.
[0011] Furthermore, a locking block is fixedly connected inside the insert plate, and the locking block engages with the inside of the slot. The locking block is provided to facilitate limiting the position of the connecting block.
[0012] Furthermore, a first spring is fixedly connected to the end of the insert plate away from the card block. The end of the first spring away from the insert plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the pull groove. The first spring is provided to facilitate the application of a reset spring force to the insert plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting an adjustment device, the height of the camera can be effectively adjusted, which plays the role of adjusting the camera. This reduces the problem that existing equipment, where the camera is generally fixed on the upper surface of the vehicle body, makes it difficult to investigate distant or nearby areas during accident scene investigation, resulting in unclear investigation. This adjustment device can adjust the height of the camera, making it convenient to take clear pictures at different distances and improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, by setting a protective device, the surface of the indicator plate is effectively protected, which plays a role in protecting the indicator plate. This reduces the situation where the indicator plate is easily damaged by wind and rain during the use of existing equipment, resulting in the indicator plate being damaged and unable to display information. This protective device can protect the indicator plate and improve the service life of the equipment indicator plate. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a traffic accident scene investigation vehicle, including a vehicle body 1, a warning light 2, a camera 3, an indicator plate 4 and a mounting base 5. The warning light 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body 1, the mounting base 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body 1, the indicator plate 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 5, and the camera 3 is mounted on the top of the vehicle body 1.
[0023] Warning light 2 uses a high-brightness LED light source with multiple flashing modes, emitting a 360-degree all-around warning light that remains clearly visible from a distance. Its casing is made of waterproof, dustproof, and UV-resistant PC material, ensuring normal operation under adverse weather conditions. Indicator panel 4 uses a high-resolution LED display screen, which can display accident scene information, warning signs, and directional arrows in real time. The display screen has an automatic brightness adjustment function, which can automatically adjust the display brightness according to the ambient light intensity, ensuring clear visibility under various lighting conditions.
[0024] The specific settings and functions of its adjustment device 6 and protection device 7 will be explained in detail below.
[0025] In this implementation scheme: An adjustment device 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body 1. The adjustment device 6 includes a connecting rod 61 and a connecting column 62. The connecting column 62 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body 1. The connecting rod 61 is slidably connected inside the connecting column 62. The camera 3 is installed at the upper end of the connecting rod 61. A mounting ring 64 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 61. A cylinder 66 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting ring 64. The cylinder 66 is a high-thrust, low-noise model. Its piston rod is made of high-strength alloy steel and has a hard chrome plating treatment to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The stroke of the cylinder 66 is precisely calculated to meet the adjustment requirements of the camera 3 at different height positions.
[0026] Specifically, a mounting block 67 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder 66, and the mounting block 67 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting post 62.
[0027] In this embodiment, by setting the mounting block 67, the cylinder 66 can be limited, which reduces the possibility that the cylinder 66 may easily detach from the surface of the connecting column 62 during use, making it difficult for the cylinder 66 to operate smoothly.
[0028] Specifically, the connecting column 62 is internally fixedly connected to the limiting rod 63, and the mounting ring 64 is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting rod 63. The limiting rod 63 is set to facilitate the limiting movement of the mounting ring 64.
[0029] Specifically, the surface of the connecting post 62 is provided with a movable groove 65, and the mounting ring 64 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 65.
[0030] In this embodiment: a protective device 7 is provided on the surface of the indicator plate 4. The protective device 7 includes a protective cover 71 and a groove 72. The protective cover 71 is fitted onto the surface of the indicator plate 4. The protective cover 71 is made of transparent PC material and has the characteristics of high strength, impact resistance, and UV protection. It can effectively protect the indicator plate 4 from the impact of external objects and the corrosion of ultraviolet rays. The edge of the protective cover 71 is sealed to reduce the ingress of rainwater and dust and ensure the normal display of the indicator plate 4. The groove 72 is opened on the side of the mounting base 5. The insert plate 73 is slidably connected inside the groove 72. The side of the protective cover 71 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 74. The surface of the connecting block 74 is provided with a slot 75. The insert plate 73 is engaged with the side of the connecting block 74.
[0031] In this embodiment, by providing a protective cover 71, the indicator plate 4 can be protected, reducing the likelihood that the indicator plate 4 will be easily damaged and difficult to use during equipment use.
[0032] Specifically, the insert plate 73 is internally fixedly connected to a locking block 76, which engages with the slot 75. The locking block 76 is provided to limit the movement of the connecting block 74.
[0033] Specifically, a first spring 77 is fixedly connected to the end of the insert plate 73 away from the latch block 76. The end of the first spring 77 away from the insert plate 73 is fixedly connected to the inside of the pull groove 72. The first spring 77 is provided to facilitate the application of a reset spring force to the insert plate 73.
[0034] Working principle: When the equipment is in use, the user starts the cylinder 66, which drives the mounting ring 64 to move inside the connecting column 62. Then, the mounting ring 64 moves on the surface of the limiting rod 63. When the mounting ring 64 moves, it drives the connecting rod 61 to move inside the connecting column 62. Then, the connecting rod 61 drives the camera 3 to adjust. By setting the adjustment device 6, the height of the camera 3 can be effectively adjusted, which plays the role of adjusting the camera 3. In the existing equipment, the camera 3 is generally fixed on the upper surface of the vehicle body 1. When conducting accident scene investigation, it is difficult to investigate places that are far or near because the camera 3 is fixed. When the equipment is used for investigation, this adjustment device 6 can adjust the height of the camera 3, which facilitates clear shooting at different distances and improves the practicality of the equipment.
[0035] When the device is in use, the user moves the insert plate 73, causing the locking block 76 to move and disengage from the slot 75. Subsequently, the insert plate 73 moves, causing the first spring 77 to displace and deform, generating elastic force. Then, the connecting block 74 is released from its restraint, pulling the protective cover 71 away from the surface of the indicator plate 4. By setting the protective device 7, the surface of the indicator plate 4 is effectively protected, thus protecting the indicator plate 4. This reduces the possibility of damage to the indicator plate 4 due to wind and rain during long-term use, which could lead to the indicator plate 4 being damaged and unable to display information. This protective device 7 can protect the indicator plate 4 and improve its service life.
