Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive accessory technology, specifically to a car cone launching and receiving device. Background Technology
[0002] Traffic cones are core facilities for ensuring traffic safety in scenarios such as road construction, traffic control, and emergency response. Their rapid and safe deployment and retrieval are crucial for improving operational efficiency and reducing safety risks. Currently, cone deployment and retrieval operations still largely rely on manual operation. Workers need to travel back and forth in the road environment, manually plan the spacing of the cones according to the control area, and deploy them sequentially. During retrieval, they need to be moved one by one to the transport vehicle.
[0003] While this manual operation method can flexibly adapt to the operational needs of short-distance, small-scale, or complex road conditions, and has certain applicability in small-scale control scenarios where mechanical operation is unavailable or in emergency situations, it has significant limitations: On the one hand, the labor intensity of manually moving, placing, and retrieving cones is extremely high, and the work efficiency is low, making it difficult to meet the rapid operation needs of scenarios such as large-scale road construction and long-distance traffic control; on the other hand, operators need to work continuously in traffic environments, are easily disturbed by passing vehicles, face extremely high safety risks, and seriously threaten the personal safety of operators. In addition, manual operation is prone to uneven cone placement due to factors such as physical exertion and differences in operation, affecting the control and guidance effect. Therefore, a cone deployment and retrieval device for vehicles is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] Example
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a car cone collection and dispensing device, comprising: a conveyor belt 1 and a collection and dispensing cylinder 3.
[0024] In this embodiment, specifically: as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fixed plate 2 is installed at one end of the conveyor belt 1. The take-up and release cylinder 3 is embedded in the center of the fixed plate 2. Two first square tubes 6 and two second square tubes 7 are symmetrically installed on the top of the fixed plate 2. An arc plate 8 is hinged to the adjacent side of the two first square tubes 6. A tension spring 10 is installed on one side of each of the two second square tubes 7. A hanging ear 9 is fixedly connected to both sides of the arc plate 8. The end of the tension spring 10 is sleeved inside the hanging ear 9.
[0025] In this embodiment, specifically: the take-up and release cylinder 3 is installed at one end of the conveyor belt 1 via the fixing plate 2. The conveyor belt 1 can transport the cone to the opening of the take-up and release cylinder 3, guiding the cone into the take-up and release cylinder 3. In addition, the two first square tubes 6 provide hinge support for the arc plate 8, allowing the arc plate 8 to rotate around the hinge point. The tension spring 10 on the second square tube 7 applies continuous tension to the arc plate 8 through the hanging lug 9, so that the arc plate 8 always fits against the outer wall of the cone transported by the conveyor belt 1, playing a central guiding role for the cone and preventing the cone from deviating from the opening of the take-up and release cylinder 3. When the diameter of the cone changes, the arc plate 8 will adaptively adjust the rotation angle within the elastic range of the tension spring 10, ensuring the guiding effect without hindering the movement of the cone, and improving the adaptability of the device to cones of different specifications.
[0026] In this embodiment, specifically: a conical cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the receiving and discharging cylinder 3. The inner diameter of the top opening of the conical cylinder 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom opening. The conical cylinder 5 has a trumpet-shaped structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. When the partition plate 15 pushes the conical cylinder to the bottom of the receiving and discharging cylinder 3, the conical cylinder will slide down along the inner wall of the conical cylinder 5. The larger opening at the bottom can accommodate the changes in posture when the conical cylinder is lowered, so that it can pass smoothly even if the conical cylinder is slightly tilted.
[0027] In this embodiment, specifically: as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the inner wall of the take-up and release cylinder 3 is symmetrically provided with two linear grooves 12, and the outer wall of the take-up and release cylinder 3 is symmetrically provided with two sets of vertical plates 4. Each set of vertical plates 4 has two vertical plates 4. Two rotating rollers 13 are symmetrically and rotatably installed on adjacent sides of each set of vertical plates 4. A first belt 14 is installed on each pair of vertically adjacent rotating rollers 13. Several partitions 15 are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the first belt 14. The ends of two horizontally adjacent rotating rollers 13 are fixedly connected to pulleys 17. A second belt 18 is installed on the two pulleys 17. A motor 16 is installed on one side of the vertical plate 4. The rotating shaft of the motor 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating roller 13 away from the pulley 17.
[0028] In use, the motor 16 provides power to drive the rotating roller 13 to rotate. The rotating roller 13 drives the other adjacent rotating roller 13 to rotate synchronously through the transmission cooperation of the pulley 17 and the second belt 18. This ensures that the rotating rollers 13 on both sets of vertical plates 4 operate synchronously. When the rotating roller 13 rotates, it drives the first belt 14 mounted on it to circulate. The partitions 15, which are equidistantly installed on the outer wall of the first belt 14, move synchronously with the belt. During the downward movement, the partitions 15 can push or receive the cone, ensuring that the cone enters and exits the take-up and release cylinder 3 along the preset trajectory.
[0029] In this embodiment, specifically: the length of the linear groove 12 is matched with the stroke length of the first belt 14. The linear groove 12 guides and limits the partition 15 on the first belt 14. Its length is matched with the stroke length of the first belt 14, so that the partition 15 is always within the constraint range of the linear groove 12 during the cyclic movement with the first belt 14, ensuring the stability of the device operation.
[0030] In this embodiment, specifically: as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the second belt 18 is arranged in a cross shape between the two pulleys 17. The second belt 18 is cross-wound around the pulleys 17 at the ends of the two laterally adjacent rollers 13, which can realize the synchronous rotation of the two rollers 13 in opposite directions, thereby driving the first belts 14 on the two sets of vertical plates 4 to move in opposite directions, so that the partitions 15 on both sides simultaneously apply force towards the center of the take-up and release cylinder 3.
[0031] In this embodiment, specifically: two L-shaped plates 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the receiving and discharging cylinder 3. The two symmetrically distributed L-shaped plates 11 can fix the receiving and discharging cylinder 3 to the rear end of the cone transport vehicle.
[0032] Working principle: When in use, the take-up and release cylinder 3 is installed at one end of the conveyor belt 1 through the fixing plate 2. The conveyor belt 1 can transport the cone to the opening of the take-up and release cylinder 3 and guide the cone into the take-up and release cylinder 3. The two linear grooves 12 on the inner wall of the take-up and release cylinder 3 are used to guide and limit the partition 15.
[0033] When the cone is inside the receiving and discharging cylinder 3, the starting motor 16 provides power to drive the rotating roller 13 to rotate. The rotating roller 13 drives the other horizontally adjacent rotating roller 13 to rotate synchronously through the transmission cooperation of the pulley 17 and the second belt 18. This ensures that the rotating rollers 13 on both sets of vertical plates 4 operate synchronously. When the rotating roller 13 rotates, it drives the first belt 14 mounted on it to circulate. The partitions 15, which are equidistantly installed on the outer wall of the first belt 14, move synchronously with the belt. As the partitions 15 move downward, they can push or receive the cone, ensuring that the cone enters and exits the receiving and discharging cylinder 3 along the preset trajectory. This automatically completes the cone receiving and discharging operation, which is especially suitable for scenarios such as road construction and emergency rescue where cones need to be quickly deployed or retrieved. It also eliminates the need for manual handling and placement, reducing manpower input and shortening the cone receiving and discharging operation time.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
