Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a traffic light, specifically a smart traffic light component for highways, and belongs to the technical field of traffic light equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As highways are dedicated to high-speed driving in separate lanes, highways experience increasing traffic pressure during holidays. To control vehicle flow and ensure smooth travel for people, traffic lights need to be installed on highways with high traffic volume.

[0003] A traffic light for highways disclosed in Chinese Patent Application Publication CN209729043U uses a traffic flow counter to detect the traffic flow on the highway in real time. When the traffic flow counter detects a large traffic flow, it sends a signal to the traffic light group, thereby energizing the traffic light group. When the traffic flow decreases, the traffic light group is de-energized, realizing automatic start and stop, which improves the practicality of the traffic light.

[0004] While the solutions in the above patents can indicate traffic flow through traffic lights, the traffic lights are exposed to the outdoors for a long time, which can easily accumulate dust, mud, rainwater, and other dirt. These may obscure or weaken the brightness of the lights, especially at night or in bad weather conditions. Unclear traffic lights can easily lead to misjudgment by drivers and may cause accident risks.

[0005] Therefore, a smart traffic light component for highways is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model proposes an intelligent traffic light component for highways, which can clean the dust and impurities adhering to the traffic lights, avoid obstructing or weakening the brightness of the traffic lights, and also allows for the disassembly and replacement of the dust removal plate.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a smart traffic light assembly for highways, including a base and a traffic light, a support rod fixed on the upper surface of the base, a lifting assembly on the support rod, a dust removal assembly on the traffic light, and a disassembly assembly on the dust removal assembly.

[0008] The dust removal assembly includes a fixed housing fixed to the front of the traffic signal light. A first rotary motor is fixed to the upper surface of the fixed housing. The output shaft of the first rotary motor passes through the fixed housing and is fixed with a reciprocating lead screw. The bottom end of the reciprocating lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixed housing. A U-shaped plate is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating lead screw. A limit rod is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed housing, and the outer surface of the limit rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hole on the right side of the U-shaped plate.

[0009] The disassembly and assembly assembly includes a threaded cylinder and two limiting grooves formed on a U-shaped plate. The inner wall of the threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to two first threaded rods. The ends of the two first threaded rods that are far apart from each other are fixed with a fixing plate, and the outer surface of the fixing plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove. A plug rod is fixed to one side of the fixing plate. The disassembly and assembly assembly also includes a dust removal plate, and one side of the dust removal plate is in contact with a traffic signal light. A mounting block is fixed to the side of the dust removal plate near the threaded cylinder. The mounting block has a plug hole, and the plug rod is inserted into the plug hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a camera is installed on the upper surface of the traffic light, and a traffic flow counter is installed on the bottom surface of the traffic light.

[0011] Furthermore, the base has multiple mounting holes.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a second rotary motor fixed to the inner bottom wall of the support rod. The output end of the second rotary motor is fixed with a second threaded rod, and the top end of the second threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the support rod. A threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second threaded rod. A support rod is fixed to one side of the threaded block, and one side of the support rod is fixed to a traffic signal light.

[0013] Furthermore, a groove is fixed on one side of the support rod, and the inner wall of the groove slides in contact with the outer surface of the support rod.

[0014] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixed to the inner wall of the support rod, and a hole is provided in the middle of the limiting plate to rotatably contact the second threaded rod. A guide rod is fixed to the upper surface of the limiting plate, and the top end of the guide rod is fixed to the inner top wall of the support rod. The outer surface of the guide rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hole of the threaded block.

[0015] This utility model provides a smart traffic light component for highways, which has the following beneficial effects: This intelligent traffic light assembly for highways can drive a reciprocating screw to rotate by starting a first rotary motor. The rotation of the reciprocating screw can drive a U-shaped plate to move back and forth. The movement of the U-shaped plate can also drive a dust removal plate to clean the dust and impurities adhering to the traffic lights, preventing the traffic lights from being obstructed or weakened, thereby ensuring the overall safety of the highway.

[0016] This intelligent traffic light assembly for highways can move a first threaded rod by rotating a threaded cylinder. The first threaded rod can move a fixing plate, which in turn can move an insert rod. This allows the insert rod to be removed from the insertion hole on the mounting block, enabling the dust removal plate to be disassembled and replaced. This avoids the problem of the dust removal plate weakening its cleaning effect on the traffic lights due to prolonged use. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a smart traffic light assembly for highways, including a base 1 and a traffic light 7. The base 1 has multiple mounting holes 101. A support rod 5 is fixed on the upper surface of the base 1. A lifting assembly 4 is provided on the support rod 5. A dust removal assembly 3 is provided on the traffic light 7. A disassembly assembly 2 is provided on the dust removal assembly 3.

[0021] A camera 8 is installed on the upper surface of the traffic light 7, and a traffic flow counter 6 is installed on the bottom surface of the traffic light 7. The traffic flow counter 6, the traffic light 7, and the camera 8 are electrically connected to each other.

[0022] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3The dust removal assembly 3 includes a fixed housing 301 fixed to the front of the traffic signal light 7. A first rotary motor 302 is fixed on the upper surface of the fixed housing 301. The output shaft end of the first rotary motor 302 passes through the fixed housing 301 and is fixed with a reciprocating screw 303. The bottom end of the reciprocating screw 303 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixed housing 301. A hole adapted to the output shaft of the first rotary motor 302 is opened on the upper side of the fixed housing 301. A U-shaped plate 304 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating screw 303. A limit rod 305 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed housing 301. The outer surface of the limit rod 305 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hole on the right side of the U-shaped plate 304.

[0023] By starting the first rotary motor 302, the reciprocating screw 303 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 303 can drive the U-shaped plate 304 to move back and forth. The movement of the U-shaped plate 304 can simultaneously drive the dust removal plate 201 to clean the dust and impurities adhering to the traffic signal light 7, so as to avoid obstructing or weakening the brightness of the traffic signal light 7, thereby ensuring the overall safety of the highway.

[0024] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 The disassembly and assembly component 2 includes a threaded cylinder 201 and two limiting grooves 204 formed on a U-shaped plate 304. The inner wall of the threaded cylinder 201 is threadedly connected to two first threaded rods 202. The ends of the two first threaded rods 202 that are far apart from each other are fixed with a fixing plate 203. The outer surface of the fixing plate 203 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 204. A plug rod 208 is fixed on one side of the fixing plate 203. The disassembly and assembly component 2 also includes a dust removal plate 207. One side of the dust removal plate 207 is in contact with the traffic light 7. A flexible brush is provided on the side of the dust removal plate 207 near the traffic light 7 to avoid damage to the traffic light 7. An installation block 206 is fixed on the side of the dust removal plate 207 near the threaded cylinder 201. An insertion hole 205 is formed on the installation block 206, and the plug rod 208 is inserted into the insertion hole 205.

[0025] Rotating the threaded cylinder 201 can move the first threaded rod 202, which in turn moves the fixing plate 203. The fixing plate 203 can then move the insertion rod 208, allowing the insertion rod 208 to be moved out of the insertion hole 205 on the mounting block 206. This allows the dust removal plate 207 to be disassembled and replaced, preventing the dust removal plate 207 from weakening its cleaning effect on the traffic signal light 7 after prolonged use.

[0026] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2The lifting assembly 4 includes a second rotary motor 401 fixed to the inner bottom wall of the support rod 5. The output end of the second rotary motor 401 is fixed with a second threaded rod 402, and the top end of the second threaded rod 402 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the support rod 5. A threaded block 403 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second threaded rod 402. A support rod 404 is fixed to one side of the threaded block 403, and one side of the support rod 404 is fixed to the traffic signal light 7.

[0027] A groove 501 is fixed on one side of the support rod 5, and the inner wall of the groove 501 slides in contact with the outer surface of the support rod 404.

[0028] The inner wall of the support rod 5 is fixed with a limiting plate 9, and the middle part of the limiting plate 9 has a hole that rotatably contacts the second threaded rod 402.

[0029] A guide rod 405 is fixed on the upper surface of the limiting plate 9, and the top end of the guide rod 405 is fixed to the inner top wall of the support rod 5. The outer surface of the guide rod 405 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hole of the threaded block 403.

[0030] By starting the second rotary motor 401, the second threaded rod 402 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the second threaded rod 402 can drive the threaded block 403 to move. The movement of the threaded block 403 can drive the traffic light 7, camera 8 and traffic flow counter 6 to move through the support rod 404, thereby enabling their maintenance.

[0031] In use, this utility model achieves real-time monitoring of traffic flow on highways through the cooperation of a traffic flow counter 6 and a traffic light 7. When the traffic flow counter 6 detects a large traffic flow, it sends a signal to the control system inside the traffic light 7, which then powers on the traffic light 7. When the traffic flow through the section decreases, the traffic light 7 is powered off and stops working, thus improving the practicality of the traffic light 7.

[0032] When there is a lot of dust on the traffic signal light 7, the first rotary motor 302 is started. The start of the first rotary motor 302 drives the reciprocating screw 303 to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 303 drives the U-shaped plate 304 to move back and forth. The movement of the U-shaped plate 304 can drive the dust removal plate 201 to clean the dust and impurities adhering to the traffic signal light 7, so as to avoid obstructing or weakening the brightness of the traffic signal light 7, thereby ensuring the overall safety of the highway.

[0033] When the dust removal plate 207 needs to be replaced, rotate the threaded cylinder 201. Rotating the threaded cylinder 201 will drive the first threaded rod 202 to move. The first threaded rod 202 will drive the fixing plate 203 to move. The fixing plate 203 will drive the insertion rod 208 to move, so that the insertion rod 208 can be moved out of the insertion hole 205 on the mounting block 206. Then the dust removal plate 207 can be disassembled and replaced, avoiding the problem that the cleaning effect of the dust removal plate 207 on the traffic signal light 7 will weaken due to long-term use.

[0034] When maintenance is required on the traffic flow counter 6, traffic light 7, and camera 8, the second rotary motor 401 is started. Starting the second rotary motor 401 drives the second threaded rod 402 to rotate. The rotation of the second threaded rod 402 drives the threaded block 403 to move. The movement of the threaded block 403 drives the traffic light 7, camera 8, and traffic flow counter 6 to move via the support rod 404, thereby enabling maintenance.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
