Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of road signs, and more particularly to a snap-on modular bracket for a temporary highway sign. Background Technology

[0002] The layout of maintenance work zones, according to the "Road Traffic Signs and Markings Part 4: Work Zones" (GB5768.4-2017), stipulates that within the work zones of expressways and Class I highways with three or more lanes in one direction, temporary traffic signs for the work zones within the warning zones should be simultaneously placed on the outer shoulder and the central median. The warning zone is one of the most important parts of the construction work control zone; properly defining the warning zone and scientifically deploying safety facilities are crucial for ensuring road traffic safety during maintenance work.

[0003] According to the "Safety Standardization Guidelines for Road Maintenance Work Areas" issued by Guangzhou Transportation Investment Group, both short-term and long-term work require the installation of construction signs in practice. Deploying signs in the overtaking lane while using crash barriers is quite dangerous. Temporary or short-term work must be accompanied by temporary construction signs, with signs required on both sides for short-term work. Each sign requires temporary parking and securing in the lane for installation, and each sign installation takes 4-6 minutes. Prolonged temporary parking poses a significant safety risk. Furthermore, the installation of signs in the median strip and along the roadside on most highways is difficult. If construction signs are not installed according to regulations, highway drivers may not be able to obtain timely information about road construction ahead.

[0004] The existing road signs are placement signs, which can be placed on the side of the road during construction. When it is necessary to set up signs for construction enclosure on the road, the users simply place the placement signs on the side of the road and put weights on the base so that the signs can be placed on the ground more stably.

[0005] The aforementioned technical solutions have the following drawbacks: during road maintenance, users can only set up signs on one side of the emergency lane, making it difficult to set up signs on the overtaking lane for oncoming vehicles, thus making it difficult to fix the signs and causing the construction enclosure signs to be unable to be set up on both sides. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to stably fix the sign on both sides of the road, this application provides a snap-on modular bracket for temporary highway signs.

[0007] The snap-on modular bracket for temporary highway signs provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A snap-on modular bracket for temporary highway signs includes a sleeve, a pole, multiple hooks, and a sign. The hooks are used to fix the sign to a concrete guardrail. The sleeve has a cylindrical structure and is detachably connected to the hooks. One end of the pole is connected to the sign, and the other end is connected to the sleeve.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, hooks are installed on the concrete guardrails, allowing sleeves to be hung on them. Workers can install hooks at intervals on the concrete guardrails. When signs need to be installed, workers can install sleeves on the hooks in the designated areas and install them. By installing poles on the signs, users can easily and quickly change the information on the signs by inserting the poles into the sleeves. The installation of signs takes less time, and setting up signs on concrete guardrails is faster. By installing hooks on the concrete guardrails on both sides of the road, users can easily and quickly set up poles and signs on both sides of the road, thereby improving the warning effect of the signs.

[0010] Optionally, the hook includes two connecting parts and one plug-in part. The two connecting parts are respectively connected to both sides of the plug-in part. The connecting parts are fixed to the concrete guardrail by bolts, and there is a gap between the plug-in part and the surface of the concrete guardrail.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the metal plate is bent to form a connecting part and a plug-in part. When the connecting part is fixed to the concrete guardrail with bolts, a gap is formed between the plug-in part and the surface of the concrete guardrail, so that the sleeve can be hung on the hook.

[0012] Optionally, the sleeve is provided with multiple inserts, each insert including a horizontal part and a vertical part. One end of the horizontal part is adjacent to the sleeve, and the other end is connected to the vertical part. The vertical part is used to insert into the gap between the insert and the concrete guardrail.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting multiple plugs on the sleeve, each plug is connected to a hook when the sleeve is set on the concrete guardrail, thereby reducing the probability of the sleeve swaying on the concrete guardrail, so that the pole can remain vertical and support the sign.

[0014] Optionally, the plug-in includes an upper plug-in and a lower plug-in, which are spaced apart along the length of the sleeve, and the horizontal length of the upper plug-in is greater than the horizontal length of the lower plug-in.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting an upper plug and a lower plug on the sleeve along the length of the sleeve, when the hook is fixed on the inclined concrete guardrail, there is a gap between the two hooks in the vertical direction. By having the upper plug and the lower plug hang on the hook respectively, the sleeve can be installed on the inclined side of the concrete guardrail and kept vertical, thereby keeping the upright set vertically.

[0016] Optionally, the pole includes an upper pole, a lower pole, and an inclined pole. One end of the inclined pole is connected to the upper pole, and the other end is connected to the lower pole. The length directions of the upper pole and the lower pole are parallel and do not overlap. The upper pole is connected to the signboard, and the lower pole is inserted into the sleeve.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the pole is bent to form an upper pole and a lower pole. When the lower pole is inserted into the sleeve, the upper pole can be set away from the road, thereby keeping the sign installed on the upper pole away from the road and reducing the chance of the sign affecting pedestrians and vehicles.

[0018] Optionally, the signboard is provided with a capping component, which is a cylindrical structure closed at one end, and the upper rod is used to insert into the capping component.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a capping component on the sign, users can detachably connect the sign to the pole by inserting the upper pole into the capping component, thus making it convenient to replace signs with different information printed on them on the pole.

[0020] Optionally, the sign is provided with a collar for attaching to the upright.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a collar on the sign, the upper pole can be inserted into the collar and the capping component in sequence, thereby improving the connection stability between the sign and the pole and reducing the probability of the sign shaking or falling off the pole.

[0022] Optionally, the signboard is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs, which are staggered and fixed to the signboard.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution and setting reinforcing ribs on the sign, the structural strength of the sign can be improved, and the probability of the sign deforming and bending can be reduced when it is subjected to large wind pressure.

[0024] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows:

[0025] 1. By setting hooks on the concrete guardrail, the sleeve can be hung on the hooks. Workers can install hooks at intervals on the concrete guardrail. When it is necessary to install a sign, workers can set the sleeve on the hook in the predetermined area and install it. By setting a pole on the sign, users can easily and quickly change the information on the sign by inserting the pole into the sleeve. Workers spend less time installing signs, and setting signs on concrete guardrails is faster.

[0026] 2. By setting an upper plug and a lower plug on the sleeve along the length of the sleeve, when the hook is fixed on the inclined concrete guardrail, there is a gap between the two hooks in the vertical direction. By having the upper plug and the lower plug hang on the hook respectively, the sleeve can be installed on the inclined side of the concrete guardrail and kept vertical, thereby keeping the upright set vertically.

[0027] 3. By installing a capping component on the sign, users can detachably connect the sign to the pole by inserting the upper pole into the capping component, thus facilitating the replacement of signs with different information on the pole. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This application discloses a snap-on modular bracket for temporary highway signs, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system includes a sleeve 1, a pole 2, multiple hooks 3, and a sign 4. The hooks 3 are used for installation on the inner wall of the concrete guardrail. The sleeve 1 is hung on the hooks 3. The pole 2 is vertically positioned, with its lower end inserted into the sleeve 1 and its upper end connected to the sign 4. When the pole 2 is inserted into the sleeve 1, its lower end abuts against the crash barrier. The sign 4 displays a warning sign, serving to alert drivers. The sleeve 1 has a beveled end; this bevel improves the efficiency of inserting the pole 2 into the sleeve 1, facilitating its installation.

[0035] Reference Figure 2The hook 3 includes two connecting parts 31 and one insert part 32. The two connecting parts 31 are respectively connected to both sides of the insert part 32. The hook 3 is formed by bending a metal plate to form the connecting parts 31 and the insert part 32. The connecting parts 31 have through holes, and fixing bolts 33 are installed in the through holes. The fixing bolts 33 can be expansion bolts. The fixing bolts 33 fix the connecting parts 31 to the inner wall of the concrete guardrail, forming a gap between the concrete guardrail and the insert part 32, so that the sleeve 1 can be hung on the concrete guardrail. The installation of the hook 3 does not require high-altitude work, and the safety and work efficiency are relatively high.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 Multiple hooks 3 are spaced vertically, and multiple inserts 11 are provided on the sleeve 1, each insert 11 engaging with a hook 3. When the sleeve 1 is hung on the concrete guardrail, the sleeve 1 remains vertical. The sleeve 1 is a cylindrical structure closed on one side. Users can quickly replace the sign 4 by inserting the upright 2 into the sleeve 1, making it convenient for staff to change the warning content according to road conditions.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 The plug-in 11 includes a horizontal part 111 and a vertical part 112. The horizontal part 111 and the vertical part 112 are perpendicular to each other and connected. The horizontal part 111 is horizontally set and fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve 1. Multiple plug-ins 11 are spaced apart along the vertical direction. The vertical part 112 is vertically set and used to insert into the gap between the plug-in part 32 and the concrete guardrail, so as to achieve the effect of detachably connecting the sleeve 1 to the concrete guardrail.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The plug 11 includes an upper plug and a lower plug. The upper plug is installed on the sleeve 1 near the opening, and the lower plug is installed on the sleeve 1 away from the opening. The length of the upper horizontal part 111 of the upper plug is greater than the length of the lower horizontal part 111. When the hook 3 is installed on the inclined side wall of the concrete guardrail, the upper plug and the lower plug are respectively hung on the hook 3, which can keep the sleeve 1 vertical.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 The upright 2 includes an upper pole 21, a lower pole 22, and an inclined pole 23. One end of the inclined pole 23 is connected to the end of the upper pole 21, and the other end is connected to the end of the lower pole 22. The upper pole 21 and the lower pole 22 are parallel in length and do not overlap. The upper pole 21 is used to connect to the sign 4, and the lower pole 22 is used to insert into the sleeve 1. When the sign 4 is installed on the concrete guardrail via the upright 2, the sign 4 is far from the road, and its impact on pedestrians or vehicles is minimal.

[0040] Reference Figure 4The sign 4 is a flat structure. One side of the sign 4 is printed with a warning pattern, and the other side has a capping component 41. The capping component 41 is a cylindrical structure closed on one side. The end of the upper rod 21 can be inserted into the capping component 41, allowing the sign 4 to be detachably connected to the upright 2. A collar 42 is provided on the sign 4, located at its edge. The end of the upper rod 21 is first inserted into the collar 42 and then into the capping component 41. The collar 42 further enhances the connection stability between the upright 2 and the sign 4, reducing the likelihood of the sign 4 swaying on the upright 2. Multiple reinforcing ribs 43 are provided on the sign 4. These reinforcing ribs 43 are structurally strong members, interlocking and fixed to the sign 4. The reinforcing ribs 43 enhance the structural strength of the sign 4, reducing the likelihood of deformation when subjected to high wind pressure.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 The cross-section of the sleeve 1, the upright 2, and the capping component 41 is square. When the sign 4 is mounted on the sleeve 1 via the upright 2, the probability of the sign 4 rotating relative to the ground is reduced, thereby improving the accuracy of the sign 4's indication and guidance. Users can install the sign 4 in an orientation parallel or perpendicular to the road's direction of extension for convenient use.

[0042] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: by setting a hook 3 on the concrete guardrail, the sleeve 1 can be hung on the hook 3 through the plug 11, so that the sleeve 1 can be detachably connected to the concrete guardrail. By inserting the lower end of the upright 2 into the sleeve 1 and the upper end of the upright 2 into the capping part 41, the upright 2 can be detachably connected to the sleeve 1 and the sign 4 respectively. Users can conveniently and quickly set the sign 4 on the concrete guardrail to warn drivers.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
