Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable marker post technology, specifically to a protective cable marker post. Background Technology

[0002] Cable marker posts, also known as power marker posts, are core vertical indicating devices used in power, telecommunications, and municipal engineering fields to ensure the safe operation of underground cable pipelines. They are widely used in various cable laying scenarios, including along urban roadsides, green belts, industrial parks, and suburban areas. Their core function is not only to accurately mark the location and direction of underground cable pipelines, but also to directly avoid blind digging during municipal construction, road renovation, and landscaping operations through visual warnings. This reduces the risk of power outages, communication failures, and even electric shock accidents caused by cable damage from the source. Simultaneously, they provide clear location guidance for pipeline inspection, maintenance, and emergency repairs, making them an indispensable ground-based marker carrier in the underground pipeline operation and maintenance system. To further improve the accuracy of pipeline management and ensure that key information such as cable pipeline type, ownership unit, maintenance telephone number, and laying depth for different voltage levels and uses (such as high-voltage power transmission, low-voltage power distribution, and communication transmission) can be quickly identified, avoiding misjudgments and accidental excavations due to ambiguous information, the existing technology has widely adopted the scheme of setting information markings on the wall of the marker post that protrudes from the ground. Common methods include pasting marking cards with QR codes and text information, directly spraying key parameters with ink, or solidifying information on the surface through screen printing. However, cable marker posts are exposed to complex outdoor environments for extended periods and are subject to continuous erosion from multiple natural factors: wind, sun, and rain cause the markers to gradually age, fade, and peel off, and the printed and sprayed text becomes blurred and corroded. In addition, external damage such as scratches and impacts caused by outdoor human activities further shortens the lifespan of the information markers. Often, after 2-3 years of use, problems such as blurred, incomplete, and detached information appear, making them difficult to identify. This not only causes them to lose their core function of providing guidance but also requires additional manpower and resources to replace them, increasing pipeline maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a protective cable marker post to solve the technical problems of existing information marking cards being prone to being blurry, damaged, or difficult to identify.

[0035] Please continue reading. Figure 7 Furthermore, reflective stickers 18 are affixed to the outer walls of the marker post body 10. The reflective stickers 18 are a material that uses reflective properties to improve visibility, making it easier to observe the position of the marker post body 10 and providing a certain warning function.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 Furthermore, in another preferred embodiment, a protective box 50 is also provided on the side wall of the mounting base 21. The protective box 50 consists of a bottom box and a sealing cover. A proximity card 51 is provided in the protective box 50. The proximity card 51 is a contactless IC card, which is a card that exchanges data with the reading and writing device in a non-mechanical contact manner. It is protected by the protective box 50. Information data related to the cable is pre-written in the proximity card 51. During later inspections, maintenance or construction, the staff can read the data in the proximity card 51 by bringing a handheld mobile reading device close to it, which can improve the efficiency of the staff. In this embodiment, the information identification card 30 is used as a backup. When the proximity card 51 is damaged and the information cannot be read, the staff can remove the cover 22 of the identification card protection mechanism 20 to directly view or obtain the relevant information in the information identification card 30 through the scanning device.

[0037] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the induction card 51 can also be replaced with a smart card. A smart card is a card-type device with an embedded microelectronic chip, equipped with integrated circuits such as CPU, RAM, and EEPROM, as well as a fixed card operating system (COS). The smart card has a GPS chip for locating the position of the marker post body 10, and a communication module for connecting to the Internet of Things. The protective box 50 is also equipped with a battery to power the smart card, or an external circuit can be used to power the smart card. Data interaction can be performed through a reader or Internet of Things terminal.

[0038] The smart card is a device disclosed in the prior art, such as the smart card disclosed in prior art CN210073237U. This existing smart card includes a GPS positioning device for locating the cable stake, a communication device for connecting to the Internet of Things (IoT), and a detection device for detecting the status of the cable stake. The detection device uses a pressure sensor to sense the pressure experienced when the cable stake is damaged, generating a signal for detection. Based on a cloud computing platform and intelligent network, it connects to the IoT based on the signals from the sensors inside the cable stake and sends them to the monitoring center to obtain the cable stake data in a timely manner. The application of IoT technology transforms the maintenance of cable stakes from on-site inspection and control of the line to remote monitoring, network transmission, and mobile applications. In this embodiment, the smart card enables remote monitoring of the stake body 10.

[0039] In practical use, after the base 40 is buried in the predetermined position according to the usage requirements, the marker post body 10 and the connecting post 41 are installed accordingly. An information card 30, containing information corresponding to the cable body parameters and cable installation location, is placed in the card protection mechanism 20 on top of the marker post body 10. The information is then written into the sensor card 51 using a reader. During subsequent inspections, maintenance, or construction, workers can access the data on the sensor card 51 by bringing a handheld mobile reading device close to it, improving efficiency. If the sensor card 51 is damaged and cannot be read, workers can remove the cover 22 of the card protection mechanism 20 to directly view or obtain the relevant information from the information card 30 using a scanning device. This protective cable marker post provides dual protection for its guidance function through the built-in information card 30 and the external sensor card 51, avoiding misjudgments and accidental digging caused by unclear information.

[0040] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
