AI Technical Summary
[0003]在现有技术中，在路锥人工收放作业场景中，通常为工作人员手部垂直抓取路锥后放置到布设装置上，让装置进行垂直放置，人工垂直抓取路锥时，因圆锥表面无凸起、无抓手结构，且坡度随高度递减导致接触面积持续缩小，操作人员需反复调整手指握持位置，往往需要在锥身中下部反复试探，寻找能形成摩擦力的临时施力点，此过程会直接延长单次抓取耗时，若遇到路锥表面附着雨水、灰尘或泥土，光滑度会进一步提升，抓取时的调整次数还会增加，导致操作节奏频繁中断，难以形成连续高效的作业流程，对于道路施工、应急抢险等需快速完成路锥布设或回收的场景，这种效率短板会直接影响整体作业进度

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road construction technology, specifically to a vehicle-mounted automatic traffic cone retrieval and deployment device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern transportation systems, traffic cones play an indispensable role, serving as a fundamental line of defense for ensuring traffic order and safety. When scenarios such as road construction, accident handling, or warning of dangerous areas occur, traffic cones are quickly deployed, becoming key facilities for guiding traffic and ensuring safety.
[0003] In existing technologies, in the scenario of manual placement and retrieval of traffic cones, workers typically grasp the cone vertically with their hands and place it on the deployment device, which then positions it vertically. When manually grasping the cone vertically, because the cone surface has no protrusions or gripping structures, and the contact area continuously shrinks as the slope decreases with height, operators need to repeatedly adjust their finger gripping position. They often need to repeatedly probe the lower part of the cone to find temporary force points that can generate friction. This process directly prolongs the time required for each grasp. If the cone surface is covered with rainwater, dust, or mud, the smoothness will be further increased, and the number of adjustments during grasping will increase even more, leading to frequent interruptions in the operation rhythm and making it difficult to form a continuous and efficient work process. For scenarios such as road construction and emergency rescue that require the rapid placement or retrieval of traffic cones, this inefficiency will directly affect the overall work progress.
[0004] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted automatic traffic cone retrieval and deployment device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted automatic traffic cone recycling and deployment device, including a fixed outer shell. A rotating assembly is installed inside the fixed outer shell. The rotating assembly includes a motor installed on the inner wall of the fixed outer shell. A rotating arm is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating arm away from the motor. A second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting rod away from the rotating arm. A third connecting rod is fixedly connected to the end of the second connecting rod away from the first connecting rod. A swing arm is rotatably connected to the top of the third connecting rod. A guide groove is opened on one side of the swing arm. A fixed column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove. One end of the fixed column is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixed outer shell.
[0007] Furthermore, a clamping assembly is fixedly connected to the end of the swing arm away from the guide groove. The clamping assembly includes a fixed block fixedly connected to the swing arm, a fixed plate fixedly connected to one side of the fixed block, a cylinder installed on the inner wall of the fixed block, a movable plate connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder, a first rotating rod rotatably connected to both sides of the movable plate, a second rotating rod rotatably connected to the end of each first rotating rod away from the movable plate, a third rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate, a connecting plate rotatably connected to the end of the second and third rotating rods away from the fixed plate, an mounting block fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate near the bottom, and a clamp rotatably connected to the adjacent side of the two mounting blocks.
[0008] Furthermore, the second rotating rod is L-shaped, and the bend of the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the fixed plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing, and a heat dissipation vent is provided on one side of the fixed housing, which is connected to the motor.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the movable plate and the inner wall of the fixed plate are slidably connected, and the inner walls of the adjacent sides of the two clamps are covered with anti-slip textures.
[0011] Furthermore, the fixture is arc-shaped, and its surface is covered with an anti-slip material.
[0012] Furthermore, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the second link near the third link. The second link is fixedly connected to the third link through the cylinder, and the cylinder is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. After manually grasping the traffic cone base and aligning it with the clamp, the pick-and-place component rotates and places it vertically. This system addresses the pain points of manual operation by utilizing the anti-slip texture, grooves, and reinforced edge structure of the traffic cone base. Furthermore, human-machine collaboration overcomes the limitations of purely automated mechanical gripping. For example, the anti-slip texture increases the surface roughness of the base, preventing slippage even if hands are wet, dusty, or the traffic cone base is covered in mud. Workers can easily grip the base without repeatedly adjusting their grip. Secondly, the grooves and reinforced edges of the base can act as fingers. The positioning fulcrum allows fingers to naturally embed into the groove or grip the reinforced edge, forming a stable grip with multiple points of force. Compared to the single-point force exertion of the traditional smooth cone, this not only saves effort but also avoids soreness and fatigue in the fingers caused by excessive force, reducing the risk of hand muscle strain. Thirdly, when holding the base, the center of gravity of the traffic cone is concentrated below the hand, making the overall posture more stable. When workers move the traffic cone, it is less likely for the cone to wobble, avoiding the safety hazards of the traffic cone tilting, slipping, and injuring feet when holding the cone in the traditional way, making the manual assistance process safer and easier.
[0015] 2. After manually gripping the base, the position of the traffic cone can be adjusted directly using the base as the force point, so that the cone part can be quickly aligned with the clamp of the pick-and-place mechanism. Since the base is stable, the staff does not need to repeatedly calibrate the angle of the traffic cone. Only simple adjustments are needed to achieve precise docking between the cone part and the clamp, reducing the time spent on each alignment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a vehicle-mounted automatic traffic cone retrieval and deployment device, including a fixed outer shell 1. A rotating assembly is installed inside the fixed outer shell 1. The rotating assembly includes a motor 2 mounted on the inner wall of the fixed outer shell 1. A rotating arm 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2. After the motor 2 is started, the output end drives the rotating arm 3 to perform circular motion around the axis of the motor 2. A first connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating arm 3 away from the motor 2. A second connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting rod 4 away from the rotating arm 3. A third connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the second connecting rod 5 away from the first connecting rod 4. A swing arm 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the third connecting rod 6. The end of the first connecting rod 4 away from the rotating arm 3 pushes the first connecting rod 6... The second link 5 uses the cylinder rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 1 as a fulcrum to perform reciprocating swing motion. The second link 5 drives the swing arm 7 to move synchronously through the fixed third link 6. A guide groove 8 is provided on one side of the swing arm 7. A fixed column 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 8. One end of the fixed column 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the fixed housing 1. Due to the sliding cooperation between the guide groove 8 and the fixed column 9 of the swing arm 7, the swing arm 7 slides linearly along the axis of the fixed column 9 under the thrust of the third link 6, while also swinging around the contact point between the guide groove 8 and the fixed column 9. This ultimately achieves a composite motion trajectory at the installation end of the clamping component, which can cover the working range of road cone grabbing and placement.
[0024] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 A clamping assembly is fixedly connected to one end of the swing arm 7 away from the guide groove 8. The clamping assembly includes a fixed block 10 fixedly connected to the swing arm 7. A fixed plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed block 10. A cylinder 12 is installed on the inner wall of the fixed block 10. A movable plate 13 is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 12. The telescopic end of the cylinder 12 pushes the movable plate 13 to slide on the inner wall of the fixed plate 11. First rotating rods 14 are rotatably connected to both sides of the movable plate 13. When the movable plate 13 moves, it drives the first rotating rods 14 on both sides to move. A second rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to the end of each first rotating rod 14 away from the movable plate 13. The first rotating rod 14 pushes the L-shaped second rotating rod 15 around its... The rotating connection point of the fixed plate 11 rotates, and the inner wall of the fixed plate 11 is rotatably connected to the third rotating rod 17. The third rotating rod 17 moves under the drive of the second rotating rod 15, pushing the connecting plate 16 to move, so that the connecting plate 16 drives the clamp 19 to open and close, further transmitting power and ensuring that the power can ultimately be applied to the clamp 19. The end of the second rotating rod 15 and the third rotating rod 17 away from the fixed plate 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 16. The side of the connecting plate 16 near the bottom is fixedly connected to the mounting block 18. The two mounting blocks 18 are rotatably connected to the clamp 19 on adjacent sides. The connecting plate 16 drives the mounting block 18 and the clamp 19 to open and close, realizing the clamping or release of the traffic cone.
[0025] See Figure 5The second rotating rod 15 is L-shaped, and the corner of the second rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 11. When the first rotating rod 14 pushes one end of the second rotating rod 15, the second rotating rod 15 can rotate flexibly around the rotation point at the corner. It can efficiently convert the linear pushing motion transmitted by the first rotating rod 14 into a rotational motion that drives the third rotating rod 17, thus completing the change of motion direction and ensuring the smooth transmission of power. This allows subsequent components such as the connecting plate 16 and the clamp 19 to respond accurately and achieve the clamping or releasing action of the traffic cone.
[0026] See Figure 2 The outer wall of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 1. A heat dissipation vent is provided on one side of the fixed housing 1 and is connected to the motor 2. The motor 2 generates heat during operation. The fixed connection between its outer wall and the inner wall of the fixed housing 1 allows the motor 2 to be installed stably and avoids the operation being affected by factors such as vibration. At the same time, the heat dissipation vent on the fixed housing 1 that is connected to the motor 2 can dissipate the heat generated by the motor 2 in a timely manner, preventing the motor 2 from malfunctioning due to overheating. This ensures that the motor 2 can stably drive the rotating components for a long time and provide continuous power for the automatic retrieval and deployment of the traffic cones.
[0027] participate Figure 2 A cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the second link 5 near the third link 6. The second link 5 is fixedly connected to the third link 6 through the cylinder, and the cylinder is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 1. The cylinder serves as the fixed connection medium between the second link 5 and the third link 6. The overall columnar structure disperses the force, and the rotational cooperation between the cylinder and the fixed housing 1 reduces the connection gap.
[0028] See Figure 5 The outer wall of the movable plate 13 and the inner wall of the fixed plate 11 are slidably connected. The sliding connection restricts the movement trajectory of the movable plate 13, so that it can only move back and forth in a straight line along the inner wall of the fixed plate 11. This avoids uneven force on the transmission components such as the first rotating rod 14 and the second rotating rod 15 due to movement deviation, and ensures the stability and accuracy of the power transmission of the clamping assembly. The inner walls of the adjacent sides of the two clamps 19 are covered with anti-slip textures. The clamps 19 are arc-shaped and the surface material of the clamps 19 is covered with anti-slip material. The anti-slip textures increase the contact roughness between the clamps 19 and the surface of the traffic cone, effectively improving the friction and forming a double anti-slip guarantee with the anti-slip textures, further reducing the risk of the traffic cone slipping.
[0029] Working principle: The device body is placed on the transport vehicle. When working, the motor 2 starts and drives the rotating arm 3 to make a circular motion. The first connecting rod 4 pushes the second connecting rod 5 to swing back and forth with the cylinder rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 1 as the fulcrum. Then, the second connecting rod 5 drives the swing arm 7 to move through the third connecting rod 6. Under the sliding cooperation of the guide groove 8 and the fixed column 9, the swing arm 7 realizes a composite motion of linear sliding and auxiliary swinging, thereby driving the clamping component to cover the area of road cone grabbing and placement.
[0030] When the clamping assembly is working, the cylinder 12 pushes the moving plate 13 to slide on the inner wall of the fixed plate 11, which drives the first rotating rod 14 to push the L-shaped second rotating rod 15 to rotate around the fixed plate 11. Then, the third rotating rod 17 pushes the connecting plate 16, so that the mounting block 18 drives the arc-shaped clamp 19 to complete the opening and closing action, thereby realizing the clamping or releasing of the traffic cone.
[0031] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.
[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
