Current cable routing signs are typically installed by burying them above the underground cables. During installation, the cable routing arrow on the sign must be aligned with the direction of the underground cable before anchoring the sign to the ground. However, during anchoring, the cable routing arrow can easily shift, making alignment with the underground cable difficult and resulting in poor accuracy of the cable routing sign. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a cable routing sign, which aims to solve the technical problem that the cable routing arrows on the cable routing sign are difficult to align with the direction of the underground cable, resulting in poor marking accuracy.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a cable routing sign, which includes: A circular base has a slot and multiple positioning slots on its top. The slot is located at the center of the top of the circular base, and the multiple positioning slots are spaced around the slot. The openings of the slot and the openings of the positioning slots are both facing upwards. A circular identification plate has a top marking surface with cable routing arrows. The bottom of the circular identification plate has insertion posts and multiple positioning posts. The insertion posts are located at the center of the bottom of the circular identification plate, and the positioning posts are spaced around a slot. The insertion posts are used to insert into the slot. Each insertion post has a locking assembly to lock it within the slot. The number of positioning posts and positioning slots are identical and correspond one-to-one. Each positioning post inserts into its corresponding positioning slot. In one embodiment, the slot sidewall is recessed outward to form an annular groove with its opening facing inward. The locking assembly includes a telescopic structure located on the outer peripheral wall of the insertion post and capable of telescopically extending and retracting relative to the insertion post in an inward or outward direction. The telescopic structure can extend outward into the annular groove when the insertion post is inserted into the slot to engage with the annular groove.

[0005] In one embodiment, the plug post is provided with a telescopic hole, the opening of which is located on the outer peripheral wall of the plug post. The telescopic structure includes a movable block and an elastic telescopic member. The bottom wall of the telescopic hole is opposite to the opening. The elastic telescopic member extends in the inward and outward directions, and its two ends are respectively connected to the movable block and the bottom wall of the hole. The movable block can extend into the annular groove and engage with the annular groove when the plug post is plugged into the slot.

[0006] In one embodiment, the movable block has an inclined surface on the side away from the elastic telescopic member, and the inclined surface is inclined from top to bottom toward the elastic telescopic member.

[0007] In one embodiment, the locking assembly includes a plurality of telescopic structures, which are spaced apart circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the plug post.

[0008] In one embodiment, the edge of the circular marker plate is provided with an annular flange, and the annular flange and the bottom of the circular marker plate form a circular limiting groove. The insertion post and a plurality of positioning posts are received in the circular limiting groove. The opening of the circular limiting groove faces downward, and the top of the circular base can extend into the circular limiting groove and be inserted into the circular limiting groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the annular flange is provided with a first sealing ring, and the outer wall of the circular base is provided with a second sealing ring for sealing and engaging with the first sealing ring.

[0010] In one embodiment, the bottom of the circular base is provided with an anchoring assembly, which includes a plurality of spaced-apart anchor bolts for anchoring to the ground.

[0011] In one embodiment, the cable routing arrow is a fluorescent arrow routing indicator.

[0012] In one embodiment, the label surface is further provided with at least one of graphic labels, numerical labels, and text labels.

[0013] The technical solution of this utility model involves first fixing a circular base to the ground, then rotating a circular marker plate to align the cable routing arrow on the plate with the direction of the underground cable. Once aligned, the insertion pins at the bottom of the circular marker plate are inserted into the slots of the circular base, while multiple positioning pins are inserted into their corresponding positioning slots. This circumferentially limits the direction of the cable routing arrow on the circular marker plate, ensuring its fixation and allowing for quick and accurate alignment with the underground cable. Alignment is simple and convenient, and the fixed cable routing arrow is less prone to shifting, resulting in good marking accuracy and a superior marking effect. Furthermore, the locking assembly secures the insertion pins within the slots, fixing the circular marker plate to the circular base.

[0021] Cable routing signs are crucial safety and identification facilities in power, telecommunications, and municipal systems. Their placement is strictly regulated, primarily serving to warn, guide, and protect cables from damage during construction and excavation, while also facilitating routine maintenance and troubleshooting. Current cable routing signs are typically installed by burying them above the underground cables.

However, during anchoring, the cable routing arrow can easily shift, making alignment with the underground cable difficult and resulting in poor accuracy of the cable routing sign.

[0022] This utility model proposes a cable routing sign 100.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment of this utility model, the cable routing sign 100 includes a circular base 10 and a circular sign plate 20; the top of the circular base 10 is provided with a slot 11 and a plurality of positioning slots 12, the slot 11 is located at the center of the top of the circular base 10, and the plurality of positioning slots 12 are arranged at intervals around the slot 11, with the openings of the slots 11 and the openings of the positioning slots 12 all facing upwards; the top of the circular sign plate 20 forms a sign surface 21, and the sign surface 21 is provided with cable routing arrow signs 22. The bottom of the circular signboard 20 is provided with a plug-in post 23 and a plurality of positioning posts 24. The plug-in post 23 is located at the center of the bottom of the circular signboard 20. The plurality of positioning posts 24 are arranged at intervals around the slot 11. The plug-in post 23 is used to plug into the slot 11. A locking component 30 is provided on the plug-in post 23. The locking component 30 is used to lock the plug-in post 23 in the slot 11. The number of positioning posts 24 and positioning slots 12 are the same and correspond one-to-one. Each positioning post 24 is plugged into its corresponding positioning slot 12.

[0024] The circular base 10 of this utility model is fixedly installed on the ground above the underground cable. A slot 11 is provided at the center of the top of the base, with the slot opening facing upwards. Around the slot 11, multiple positioning slots 12 are provided at intervals, also with their openings facing upwards. A marking surface 21 is formed on the top surface of the circular marking plate 20, and a cable routing arrow marking 22 is provided on the marking surface 21. A plug-in post 23 is provided at the center of the bottom of the circular marking plate 20, and its position corresponds to the slot 11 on the base, used for insertion into the slot 11 to achieve center positioning. A locking assembly 30 is provided on the plug-in post 23 to lock it after insertion into the slot 11. Multiple positioning posts 24 are also provided at intervals around the bottom of the circular marking plate 20 around the plug-in post 23. The number and position of the positioning posts 24 correspond one-to-one with the multiple positioning slots 12 on the base, and each positioning post 24 can be inserted into a corresponding positioning slot 12 to achieve circumferential positioning. When installing the cable routing sign 100 provided by this utility model, firstly, the circular base 10 is fixed to the ground. Then, by rotating the circular sign plate 20, the cable routing arrow mark 22 on the circular sign plate 20 is aligned with the direction of the underground cable. After the cable routing arrow mark 22 is aligned with the direction of the underground cable, the insertion post 23 at the bottom of the circular sign plate 20 is aligned and inserted into the slot 11 of the circular base 10. At the same time, multiple positioning posts 24 are inserted into the corresponding positioning slots 12, which can circumferentially limit the circular sign plate 20, so that the direction of the cable routing arrow mark 22 on the circular sign plate 20 can be fixed. This allows the cable routing arrow mark 22 to be quickly and accurately aligned with the direction of the underground cable. The alignment is simple and convenient, and the cable routing arrow mark 22, after being fixed in direction, is not prone to displacement, thus having good marking accuracy and good marking effect. Furthermore, the locking assembly 30 can lock the plug post 23 into the slot 11, thereby fixing the circular label plate 20 onto the circular base 10, thus realizing the installation of the cable route label 100 provided by this utility model. The installation is simple and convenient, and it can further prevent the cable route arrow label 22 from shifting, resulting in better labeling accuracy and better labeling effect.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the groove sidewall of the slot 11 is recessed outward to form an annular groove 13. The groove opening of the annular groove 13 is arranged inward. The locking assembly 30 includes a telescopic structure 31. The telescopic structure 31 is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the plug-in post 23 and can extend and retract relative to the plug-in post 23 in the inward and outward directions. The telescopic structure 31 can extend outward into the annular groove 13 when the plug-in post 23 is plugged into the slot 11 to engage with the annular groove 13.

[0026] Specifically, when the circular signboard 20 is installed on the base, the telescopic structure 31 is pressed back during the insertion of the plug post 23 into the slot 11. After it is in place, it automatically pops out and snaps into the annular slot 13. Through the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the telescopic structure 31 and the annular slot 13, the plug post 23 can be quickly locked into the top slot 11, thus realizing the quick installation of the circular signboard 20. The installation is simple and convenient, and the installation efficiency is higher.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, a telescopic hole 14231 is provided in the plug-in post 23. The opening of the telescopic hole 14231 is opened on the outer peripheral wall of the plug-in post 23. The telescopic structure 31 includes a movable block 311 and an elastic telescopic member 312. The bottom wall of the telescopic hole 14231 is arranged opposite to the opening. The elastic telescopic member 312 extends in the inward and outward directions, and the two ends of the elastic telescopic member 312 are respectively connected to the movable block 311 and the bottom wall of the hole. The movable block 311 can extend into the annular groove 13 and engage with the annular groove 13 when the plug-in post 23 is plugged into the slot 11.

[0028] Furthermore, a telescopic hole 14231 is provided inside the plug-in post 23. The opening of the telescopic hole 14231 is located on the outer peripheral wall of the plug-in post 23, and the bottom wall of the hole is opposite to the opening. The elastic telescopic member 312 is placed inside the telescopic hole 14231 in the inward and outward direction, and its two ends are respectively connected to the movable block 311 and the bottom wall of the hole. During installation, the movable block 311 is pressed into the telescopic hole 14231 by the inner wall of the slot 11. The elastic telescopic member 312 is compressed and stores energy. When the movable block 311 is aligned with the annular groove 13, the movable block 311 is instantly ejected from the opening and locked into the annular groove 13 due to the action of the elastic telescopic member 312, thereby locking the plug-in post 23. At this time, the inner end face of the movable block 311 abuts against the upper side wall of the annular groove 13, forming an axial stop, restricting the plug-in post 23 from moving outward and preventing it from being pulled out directly in the opposite direction. This structure provides reliable anti-pull-out protection while achieving quick locking, avoiding accidental disassembly or external damage, and ensuring the long-term stable installation of the cable routing sign 100.

[0029] It should be noted that the elastic telescopic component 312 can be a spring.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the movable block 311 has an inclined surface 3111 on the side away from the elastic telescopic member 312, and the inclined surface 3111 is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction close to the elastic telescopic member 312.

[0031] Furthermore, an inclined surface 3111 is cut on the side of the movable block 311 away from the elastic telescopic member 312. This inclined surface 3111 converges from top to bottom towards the elastic telescopic member 312. During installation, the insertion post 23 is inserted downward into the slot 11. The inclined surface 3111 first contacts the edge of the slot 11, generating a radial force that automatically presses the movable block 311 back into the telescopic hole 14231. No external pre-pressing is required, and the insertion action is completed in one step, making installation simple and convenient.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking assembly 30 includes a plurality of telescopic structures 31, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral wall of the plug-in post 23.

[0033] Specifically, the locking assembly 30 has at least two telescopic structures 31 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the insertion post 23. Each telescopic structure 31 is simultaneously aligned with the annular groove 13 and engages at the same time, forming a multi-point uniform limiting: after locking, each movable block 311 abuts against the annular groove 13, and the circumferential force is balanced, which can effectively prevent the circular marking plate 20 from shaking or deflecting, and the structure has high reliability.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, the edge of the circular label plate 20 is provided with an annular flange 25, and the annular flange 25 and the bottom of the circular label plate 20 surround to form a circular limiting groove 26. The insertion post 23 and a plurality of positioning posts 24 are housed in the circular limiting groove 26. The opening of the circular limiting groove 26 faces downward, and the top of the circular base 10 can extend into the circular limiting groove 26 and be inserted into and engaged with the circular limiting groove 26.

[0035] Specifically, an annular flange 25 extends downward from the outer periphery of the circular identification plate 20, forming a downward-facing circular limiting groove 26 together with the bottom of the circular identification plate 20; the plug-in post 23 and all the positioning posts 24 are located within the circular limiting groove 26. During installation, the top of the circular base 10 extends entirely into the circular limiting groove 26 and fits tightly with it. The inner wall of the limiting groove wraps around the upper outer periphery of the base, forming a radial seal. This effectively blocks dirt and water from entering the circular limiting groove 26, preventing corrosion of the plug-in post 23, positioning posts 24, and locking assembly 30, thereby improving the durability and long-term reliability of the cable routing sign 100 provided by this utility model.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the annular flange 25 is provided with a first sealing ring 27, and the outer wall of the circular base 10 is provided with a second sealing ring 15 for sealing and cooperating with the first sealing ring 27.

[0037] Furthermore, a first sealing ring 27 is circumferentially embedded in the inner wall of the annular flange 25, and a second sealing ring 15 is embedded in the corresponding position on the outer wall of the circular base 10. When the top of the circular base 10 is inserted into the circular limiting groove 26, the first sealing ring 27 and the second sealing ring 15 press against each other and seal, completely enclosing the plug-in post 23, the positioning post 24, and the locking assembly 30 within the drying cavity. This more effectively prevents soil and water from entering the circular limiting groove 26, preventing corrosion of the plug-in post 23, the positioning post 24, and the locking assembly 30, thereby further improving the durability and long-term reliability of the cable routing sign 100 provided by this utility model.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, an anchoring component 40 is provided at the bottom of the circular base 10, and the anchoring component 40 includes a plurality of anchoring nails 41 spaced apart for anchoring to the ground.

[0039] Specifically, the bottom surface of the circular base 10 is integrally formed or welded with multiple downward-extending anchor nails 41, each nail being evenly distributed radially or in a ring around the center. During installation, initial positioning is achieved by vertically inserting the anchor nails 41 into the soil; then, the top of the base is continued to be tapped downwards, causing the anchor nails 41 to continue sinking until the bottom of the base is in contact with the ground, thus completing the installation of the circular base 10. The installation is simple and highly reliable.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cable routing arrow marker 22 is a fluorescent arrow routing marker. The fluorescent arrow routing marker can store energy under sunlight or lamplight and continuously emit light in the dark, maintaining high visibility at night without the need for an external power source. Construction and repair personnel and daily inspection personnel can quickly identify the cable routing, reduce the risk of accidental digging, and improve operational safety.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the marking surface 21 is further provided with at least one of graphic marking, numerical marking and text marking.

[0042] Specifically, in addition to the cable routing arrow marking 22, the marking surface 21 is simultaneously printed with graphic markings, numerical markings and text markings, which can carry multi-dimensional information such as voltage level, circuit number, ownership unit, and warnings at one time.

[0043] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
