Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of road traffic auxiliary equipment, and specifically refers to a road cone ring. Background Technology

[0002] Traffic cones, also known as road barriers or traffic cones, are obstacles placed on roads to restrict or block the passage of vehicles. To make traffic cones easily visible at night and prevent pedestrians or vehicles from hitting them and affecting traffic safety, they are usually fitted with cone rings, and solar-powered warning lights are installed on the cone rings.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent (publication number CN212801298U, application date 2020.06.18, publication date 2021.03.26) discloses a traffic cone ring (i.e., a road cone ring), including a cone ring shell, an alarm device, and a light-emitting device. The cone ring shell is a hollow annular structure. The alarm device is disposed inside the cone ring shell, and the light-emitting device is disposed at the edge of the cone ring shell and surrounds the edge of the cone ring shell. The alarm device includes an acceleration sensor for generating an interruption signal when the detected cone acceleration value exceeds a threshold, an alarm for generating an intrusion alarm signal based on the interruption signal, a GPS positioning component, and a transmission component. The acceleration sensor, the alarm, the GPS positioning component, and the transmission component are built into the alarm device, and the alarm is electrically connected to the acceleration sensor, the GPS positioning component, and the transmission component, respectively. The light-emitting device includes a light strip, which is disposed around the outer edge of the bottom of the cone ring shell.

[0004] The shortcomings of the aforementioned traffic cone ring are: the light strip is set around the outer edge of the bottom of the cone ring shell, and the light strip is directly exposed, making it easy to be bumped and damaged, aged, and damaged by water. At the same time, the light strip consumes a lot of power when set around the whole circle, and it is easy to turn off due to power failure, thus losing its warning function. Utility Model Content

Meanwhile, the light-transmitting plates 8 can effectively protect the light strips 6, prevent the light strips 6 from being damaged by bumps, prevent them from aging, and also effectively prevent water ingress, extending the service life of the light strips 6.

[0037] To prevent the corners of the casing 1 from scratching pedestrians, each side of the casing 1 is rounded.
