Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle safety warning devices, and more specifically, it relates to a warning light for the tailgate of a truck. Background Technology

[0002] When trucks are traveling on roads, temporarily parked, or performing loading and unloading operations, especially at night or in low visibility conditions, their large size and open tailgates pose significant safety hazards to vehicles and pedestrians behind them. To improve safety, installing conspicuous warning lights at the rear of trucks has become an important protective measure.

[0003] Currently, most truck tailgate warning lights on the market are installed by fixing them directly to a specific position on the tailgate. This fixed installation has some drawbacks: First, when the cargo loaded on the truck is too high or too long, it can easily obstruct the warning light in the fixed position, greatly reducing its warning effect or even rendering it completely ineffective; second, different types of truck tailgates have different structures, and drivers' needs for the optimal warning angle also vary. The fixed installation position cannot flexibly adapt to various working conditions, making it difficult to ensure that the warning light is always within the most effective visibility range.

[0004] Therefore, developing a truck tailgate warning light whose position can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions is an urgent practical need and has important application value. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a truck tailgate warning light, which is achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0006] A truck tailgate warning light includes a mounting plate and a warning light body mounted on the mounting plate. An adjustment seat is connected to the back end of the warning light body. One side of the adjustment seat has a mounting opening, through which the adjustment seat is movably fitted onto the mounting plate and can slide along the length of the mounting plate. The other side of the mounting opening has a through hole into which a threaded rod is inserted. A through-hole is provided on the side of the mounting plate, distributed along the length of the mounting plate. The threaded rod passes through the through-hole, and a wing nut is threaded onto its end for locking the position of the adjustment seat.

[0007] Furthermore, mounting holes are provided at both ends of the mounting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a magnet plate is embedded at the front end of the mounting plate and is distributed along the length of the mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a magnetic block that is magnetically attracted to the magnetic plate is embedded in the inner wall of the adjustment seat.

[0010] Furthermore, a transparent shell is fixedly installed at the front end of the main body of the warning light, and a battery, a control board, and a photovoltaic panel are installed inside the main body of the warning light.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body of the warning light is fixed to the adjusting seat by screws.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. By incorporating an adjustable seat that slides along the mounting plate, the warning light body achieves stepless position adjustment along the length of the mounting plate. This allows the driver to easily slide the warning light to the most conspicuous and least obstructed warning position based on the current cargo loading, the specific structure of the tailgate, and the surrounding environment, improving the reliability and adaptability of the warning effect. A dual locking method of "threaded tightening + magnetic assistance" is employed. Tightening the wing nut generates a strong clamping force on the mounting plate through the threaded rod, achieving mechanical rigidity. Simultaneously, the magnetic block on the inner wall of the adjustable seat attracts the magnetic plate embedded in the mounting plate, providing additional holding force. This dual protection effectively prevents the warning light from accidentally shifting or loosening during vehicle vibrations or frequent tailgate opening and closing, ensuring long-term stability.

[0014] Second, the mounting holes at both ends of the mounting plate allow for quick and secure installation in various preset positions on the truck tailgate using standard bolts. The entire adjustment and locking process requires only manual operation, eliminating the need for special tools and simplifying the installation and subsequent adjustment process. The warning light body is fixed to the adjustment base with screws, facilitating disassembly, maintenance, or replacement. The transparent housing protects the internal components while allowing efficient light transmission, ensuring effective warning light propagation. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example:

[0025] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0026] This utility model provides a truck tailgate warning light, including a mounting plate 1 and a warning light body 2 mounted on the mounting plate 1. The back end of the warning light body 2 is connected to an adjustment seat 3. One side of the adjustment seat 3 has an installation opening 31. The adjustment seat 3 is movably fitted onto the mounting plate 1 through the installation opening 31 and can slide along the length direction of the mounting plate 1. The other side of the installation opening 31 has a through hole 32. A threaded rod 4 is inserted into the through hole 32. The side of the mounting plate 1 has a through opening 5 distributed along the length direction of the mounting plate 1. The threaded rod 4 passes through the through opening 5, and a wing nut 41 is threaded at the end for locking the position of the adjustment seat 3. The design of the wing nut 41 makes it easy to twist.

[0027] Mounting plate 1 has mounting holes 11 at both ends, and is fixed to the tailgate of the truck using standard bolts.

[0028] A magnet plate 6 is embedded in the front end of the mounting plate 1 and distributed along the length of the mounting plate 1. A magnetic block that is magnetically attracted to the magnet plate 6 is embedded in the inner wall of the adjusting seat 3 to help enhance the fixing effect. In addition, it can provide a certain sliding damping during the adjustment process, making the adjustment more convenient.

[0029] A transparent shell 21 is fixedly installed at the front end of the warning light body 2. Inside the warning light body 2, there is a battery, a control board, and a photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel can absorb external light and convert it into electrical energy, which is simultaneously supplied to the battery inside the warning light body 2 for storage, ensuring that the device has a continuous power supply capability. When a manual trigger signal is received, the control board controls the battery to supply power to the light source (LED beads, which are a necessary component of conventional warning lights) inside the warning light body 2. The warning light emitted by the light source (such as red light or flashing light) will shine out through the transparent shell 21 fixedly installed at the front end of the warning light body 2, reminding vehicles and pedestrians behind to pay attention and avoid the danger, thus realizing the safety warning function.

[0030] The main body 2 of the warning light is fixed to the adjusting seat 3 by screws, and adopts a split design for easy assembly.

[0031] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0032] Step 1: Using the pre-set mounting holes 11 at both ends of the mounting plate 1, pass the bolts through the mounting holes 11 and tighten them to the pre-set mounting position on the tailgate of the truck, so that the mounting plate 1 is stably attached to the surface of the tailgate; first, manually loosen the wing nut 41 (the threaded connector at the end of the threaded rod 4) on one side of the adjusting seat 3. At this time, the threaded rod 4 (inserted into the through hole 32 on the side of the adjusting seat 3) no longer exerts a clamping force on the mounting plate 1; since the adjusting seat 3 is movably fitted onto the mounting plate 1 through its own mounting port 31, and the mounting plate 1 has through holes 5 distributed along the length direction on its side (the threaded rod 4 passes through the through hole 5), after loosening the wing nut 41, the adjusting seat 3 can be pushed to slide along the length direction of the mounting plate 1; the back end of the adjusting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the warning light body 2 (fixed by screw threads), so when the adjusting seat 3 slides, it will drive the warning light body 2 to move synchronously until the warning light body 2 is adjusted to the warning position with the best visibility;

[0033] Step 2: After the position of the warning light body 2 is determined, the adjustment seat 3 is prevented from shifting through structural locking to ensure the stability of the warning position: the wing nut 41 is manually tightened. During the tightening process, the wing nut 41 will fit tightly against the side of the mounting plate 1; at the same time, the magnet block on the inner wall of the adjustment seat 3 and the magnet plate 6 of the mounting plate 1 are further magnetically attracted and attached, which helps to enhance the fixing effect, and finally achieves a rigid lock between the adjustment seat 3 and the mounting plate 1, preventing the warning light body 2 from shifting while the vehicle is in motion; the warning light body 2 is equipped with a photovoltaic panel inside. When the vehicle is in motion or parked, the photovoltaic panel can absorb external light and convert it into solar energy. The energy is converted into electricity and simultaneously supplied to the battery inside the main body 2 of the warning light to ensure that the device has a continuous power supply capability. When the tailgate of the truck is opened (or the vehicle is in a situation that requires warning, such as temporary parking or loading and unloading), a signal is manually triggered. After receiving the signal, the control board controls the battery to supply power to the light source (LED beads, which are essential components of conventional warning lights) inside the main body 2 of the warning light. The warning light emitted by the light source (such as red light or flashing light) will be transmitted outward through the transparent shell 21 fixedly installed at the front end of the main body 2 of the warning light, reminding vehicles and pedestrians behind to pay attention and avoid the danger, thus realizing the safety warning function.
