Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warning triangle technology, specifically to a stabilizing mechanism for a folding warning triangle. Background Technology
[0002] A warning triangle, also known as a hazard warning sign, is an essential safety and emergency device for vehicles. Made of highly reflective material and featuring a striking red triangle shape, it quickly attracts the attention of following vehicles when a vehicle breaks down, is involved in an accident, or is temporarily stopped, effectively preventing secondary collisions. Its sturdy structure makes it easy to fold and carry. When unfolded, it is stably placed on the roadside, and with its built-in flashing light (on some models), it provides even greater warning at night or in inclement weather, safeguarding road safety.
[0003] Chinese patent CN209373941U discloses a triangular warning sign, including a first bracket, a second bracket, and a warning sign. The warning sign is fixed to the first bracket, and the first and second brackets are rotatable relative to each other. When folded, the first and second brackets form a straight line; when opened, they form a cross. The triangular warning sign also includes a positioning piece, which includes a first extension and a second extension. The first and second extensions are staggered and extend in the same vertical direction. During the opening of the first and second brackets, the first and second extensions can lock the first and second brackets at a right angle to form a cross. This warning sign allows for quick positioning of the two brackets at a right angle during the opening process, preventing the triangular warning sign from tipping over, saving time for emergency situations, and preventing secondary accidents.
[0004] The triangular warning sign in the aforementioned patent document utilizes a first extension and a second extension arranged along the length of a second bracket and staggered relative to each other along the width of the second bracket, extending from the main body in the same vertical direction. During the opening of the first and second brackets, the first and second extensions can lock the first and second brackets at a right angle to form a cross shape. However, the aforementioned need for the first and second brackets to be locked together via the first and second extensions makes unfolding or folding the first and second brackets somewhat inconvenient. Therefore, a stabilizing mechanism for a folding warning triangle is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, a stabilizing mechanism for a folding warning triangle is provided. This mechanism utilizes a folding rod that rotates around a hinge point, allowing the rod to unfold or retract. A top block and a locking slot engage to limit the folding rod's position. This ensures stable support for the warning triangle when the folding rod is unfolded, resolving the issues of poor stability and inconvenient unfolding / retraction of the warning triangle.
[0006] To address the problems in the prior art, this application provides a stabilizing mechanism for a folding warning triangle, including a base and a support mechanism disposed inside the base. The bottom of the base has four symmetrically arranged storage slots, and one end of each storage slot has two locking slots at a 90-degree angle to each other. The support mechanism includes a folding rod, one end of which is hinged to a storage slot; The folding rod has an installation groove inside the end near the storage slot. Inside the installation groove is a top block that can move along its central axis. One end of the top block can be locked into the slot. The mounting groove is also equipped with a first spring, which is used to extend the top block outward from the mounting groove.
[0007] As one technical solution of this application, a push block is provided at the bottom of the top block, and the push block can drive the top block to move along the central axis of the mounting groove.
[0008] As one technical solution of this application, a storage box is fixed to the top of the base; A second bracket is hinged to one side of the inside of the storage box, and a limit groove is provided on the side of the second bracket. A storage box is fixed to the top of the base. A first bracket is hinged to one side inside the storage box. A limiting rod that can be adapted to the limiting groove is fixed on the side of the first bracket away from the storage box.
[0009] As a technical solution of this application, the first bracket has an installation hole on the side of the limiting groove away from the storage box, and a top rod that can extend outward is installed inside the installation hole. A second spring for pushing the push rod is also installed inside the mounting hole.
[0010] As one technical solution of this application, a groove is provided on the lower end face of the folding rod near the side of the mounting groove.
[0011] As one technical solution of this application, an anti-slip block is installed on the side of the lower end face of the folding rod near the groove.
[0012] As one technical solution of this application, a first reflective strip is installed inside the first bracket.
[0013] As one technical solution of this application, a second reflective strip is installed on the side of the second bracket away from the limiting groove.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are: This application utilizes a folding rod that rotates around the hinge, allowing the rod to unfold or retract. A top block and a locking slot engage to limit the folding rod's position. This ensures stable support for the warning triangle when the folding rod is unfolded, solving the problems of poor stability and inconvenient unfolding / retraction of the warning triangle.

[0024] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See Figures 1-8As shown, a stabilizing mechanism for a folding warning tripod includes a base 1 and a support mechanism 3 disposed inside the base 1. The bottom of the base 1 has four symmetrically arranged storage slots 11, and one end of each storage slot 11 has two slots 12, which are at a 90-degree angle to each other. The support mechanism 3 includes a folding rod 31, one end of which is hinged to the storage groove 11; The folding rod 31 has an installation groove 311 inside the end near the storage groove 11. A top block 32 that can move along its central axis is installed inside the installation groove 311. One end of the top block 32 can be locked in the slot 12. A first spring 322 is also installed inside the mounting slot 311. The first spring 322 is used to extend the top block 32 outward from inside the mounting slot 311.
[0025] When the folding rod 31 is retracted, one end of the top block 32 installed inside the mounting slot 311 can be inserted into one of the slots 12, allowing the top block 32 to engage with one of the slots 12 to limit the folding rod 31, ensuring that the folding rod 31 can be stably stored inside the storage slot 11. When it is necessary to unfold the folding rod 31, the top block 32 is pushed to move along the central axis of the mounting slot 311, causing the top block 32 to retract inside the mounting slot 311. At the same time, the retraction of the top block 32 compresses the first spring 322, causing the first spring 322 to gradually accumulate potential energy. Then, the folding rod 31 is rotated around the hinge. When the central axis of the folding rod 31 is perpendicular to the central axis of the base 1, the pushing force on the top block 32 is stopped. Simultaneously, the potential energy accumulated by the first spring 322 is released, causing the first spring 322 to push the top block 32 outward from inside the mounting slot 311 until the extended end of the top block 32 is inserted into the other slot 12. This allows the top block 32 to cooperate with another slot 12 to limit the unfolded folding rod 31, thereby ensuring that the top block 32 can provide stable support while avoiding the problem of inconvenience in putting away and taking out the warning tripod.
[0026] See Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a pusher block 321 is provided at the bottom of the top block 32, and the pusher block 321 can drive the top block 32 to move along the central axis of the mounting groove 311.
[0027] By fixing the push block 321 to the bottom of the top block 32, when the push block 321 is pushed, the push block 321 can drive the top block 32 to move along the central axis of the mounting groove 311, so that the top block 32 can be retracted into the mounting groove 311.
[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a storage box 2 is fixed to the top of the base 1; A second bracket 5 is hinged to one side inside the storage box 2, and a limiting groove 52 is provided on the side of the second bracket 5. A storage box 2 is fixed to the top of the base 1. A first bracket 4 is hinged to one side inside the storage box 2. A limiting rod 42 that can be adapted to the limiting groove 52 is fixed to the side of the first bracket 4 away from the storage box 2.
[0029] To facilitate the storage of the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5, a storage box 2 is fixed to the top of the base 1, allowing the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 to be placed inside the storage box 2 when folded. This makes the warning triangle easy to carry. When the warning triangle is unfolded, by holding the end of the first bracket 4 away from the storage box 2, the first bracket 4 is rotated around the hinge point with the storage box 2. At this time, the distance between the limiting rod 42 and the storage box 2 gradually increases. Simultaneously, the limiting rod 42 fixed on one side of the first bracket 4 moves along the limiting groove 52 opened on the side of the second bracket 5, so that the limiting rod 42 and the limiting groove 52 cooperate to cause the second bracket 5 to rotate around the hinge point with the storage box 2 until the second bracket 5 is unfolded. At this time, the warning triangle is in the unfolded state.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the first bracket 4 has a mounting hole 53 on the side of the limiting groove 52 away from the storage box 2, and a top rod 54 that can extend outward is installed inside the mounting hole 53. A second spring 55 for pushing the push rod 54 is also installed inside the mounting hole 53.
[0031] A top rod 54 is installed inside the mounting hole 53, and a second spring 55 is installed inside the mounting hole 53. When the limiting rod 42 moves along the limiting groove 52, it gradually approaches the top rod 54. When the limiting rod 42 contacts the top rod 54, it compresses the top rod 54, causing it to retract into the mounting hole 53. Simultaneously, the top rod 54 compresses the second spring 55, causing it to gradually accumulate potential energy. When the limiting rod 42 passes the top rod 54, the compressive force on the top rod 54 weakens or disappears. Simultaneously, the compressive force on the second spring 55 weakens or disappears, releasing the accumulated potential energy. This causes the second spring 55 to push the top rod 54 outward from the mounting hole 53, thus limiting the limiting rod 42. The first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 remain in the extended state.
[0032] See Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a groove 312 is provided on the lower end face of the folding rod 31 near the mounting groove 311.
[0033] To facilitate the unfolding or folding of the folding rod 31, a groove 312 is provided on the lower end surface of the folding rod 31. When the folding rod 31 needs to be unfolded, the fingers can be placed on the groove 312, making the folding rod 31 easier to grip. This makes the folding rod 31 easier to operate.
[0034] See Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, an anti-slip block 313 is installed on the side of the lower end face of the folding rod 31 near the groove 312.
[0035] By installing an anti-slip block 313 on the lower end face of the folding rod 31, the folding rod 31 contacts the ground through the anti-slip block 313. The friction between the anti-slip block 313 and the ground ensures that the folding rod 31 can make contact with the ground, thus preventing the folding rod 31 from slipping.
[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a first reflective strip 41 is installed inside the first bracket 4.
[0037] By installing a first reflective strip 41 inside the first bracket 4, the first reflective strip 41 can reflect light, thereby improving the visibility of the warning tripod at night or in low-light environments.
[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a second reflective strip 51 is installed on the side of the second bracket 5 away from the limiting groove 52.
[0039] A second reflective strip 51 is installed inside the second bracket 5. This allows the second reflective strip 51 to reflect light, thereby improving the visibility of the warning tripod at night or in low-light conditions.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
