Description

Automatic retracting device for traffic cones

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of traffic warning, and particularly relates to an automatic retracting and releasing device for a traffic cone.

Background

With the increase of highway mileage in China, the task of highway maintenance is increasingly heavy. The maintenance management of the highway is a complex systematic project, and when the highway needs maintenance or traffic accidents occur, a traffic closed control mode is required, namely, a traffic sign is placed outside an operation area to guide the running of vehicles. When the road administration personnel perform the official business, the safety of the driving and the working area must be ensured, so that the traffic cones are arranged outside the working area to guide the driving of the vehicles, and particularly when the vehicles work on the highway, the traffic cones and the like are required to be arranged to guide the traffic due to the extremely high driving speed.

The traditional traffic cone placement method generally adopts a manual operation mode to fold and unfold the traffic cone, a driver drives a carrying vehicle, and traffic cones in a carriage are taken out and placed back manually; when the operation finishes, retrieve the traffic awl one by one through the manual work again, it advances and backs a car to need the driver to drive the vehicle usually, and need stand alone and carry out receiving and releasing of traffic awl in the carriage, and put and retrieve the traffic awl by the car back along with a plurality of staff, it has not only improved the cost of labor, the efficiency of receiving and releasing of traffic awl has been reduced, more importantly exposes the staff under extremely dangerous traffic environment, factor of safety is low, simultaneously because artificial difference, the straight line is often accomplished in putting of traffic awl, often need correct, and the work quality is reduced.

When a sudden traffic accident occurs on the highway, according to the requirements of a road traffic law: after a road police reaches the scene, the law enforcement vehicle is parked in front of the accident vehicle, the danger alarm flash lamp is turned on, the law enforcement personnel get off and move the traffic cone to place, a 150-meter operation closed area is set, and then rescue and treatment are carried out. The distance between adjacent traffic cones is 10 meters, and in general, 15 traffic cones are enough to complete a work closed area with 150 meters.

In the 'an automatic car that receive and releases of safety awl' of chinese utility model patent of old xingchun etc, through setting up storage device, pressing from both sides and getting device, transfer device, conveyor and receiving and releasing device, can be fast, full automatization receive and release safety awl, its work efficiency is high, and the operation is stable. This device represents a significant improvement over previous devices, but requires the use of specially designed trucks, resulting in significant cost increases for the high speed authority. In the Chinese published patent application of the invention of 'an automatic retraction device for traffic cones', the device mainly comprises a mechanical arm rotating mechanism, a push-down righting frame mechanism and a PLC (programmable logic controller), can realize the forward running of a vehicle to put or recover the traffic cones, solves the problem that only the traffic cones can be recovered by backing, and improves the safety; the traffic cones can be recovered in a unified posture, the subsequent stacking storage is facilitated, and the working efficiency is improved. However, the device is designed independently, is not designed according to a sample car platform, cannot be used and installed, occupies a large space, and only stays at a theoretical level. Zhengmin et al in the Chinese published patent application for 'an automatic retraction system for road cones', the designed system comprises a control system, a road cone retraction device and a retraction auxiliary device which are detachably connected with the same side of a truck. In the recovery mode, the traffic cones on the road surface are transversely arranged and oppositely oriented, the system can adjust the traffic cones to a standard recovery state through the storage auxiliary device, and the situation that the traffic cones fall down and cannot be recovered due to the fact that the traffic cones are not aligned does not occur. However, the storage auxiliary device of the system needs to be manually placed on the side of the carriage, full automation cannot be achieved, and labor cost is high.

At present, domestic traffic cone collecting and releasing vehicles basically mainly adopt trucks with large sizes, the storage capacity of the traffic cones is hundreds, in addition, most of the traffic cone collecting and releasing mechanisms are traditional mechanical devices, the mass is overlarge, the volume is overlarge, the vehicles are ultra-wide, the cone collecting and releasing efficiency is low, and the economic cost is overhigh; therefore, the traffic cone winding and unwinding device using the truck as the carrier has the problems of resource waste, overhigh manufacturing cost, inconvenient running in a non-working state and the like.

Specifically, when the traffic cone is placed on the ground, the traffic cone is laid on the ground, the righting combination 75 moves forwards along with the continuous forward movement of the automobile, the traffic cone can be dragged after the righting combination 75 is contacted with the upper portion of the base of the traffic cone, and a turnover moment is generated below the base of the traffic cone due to the friction between the traffic cone and the ground, so that the righting of the traffic cone is realized.

The slide rails 72 are long-strip aluminum profiles, and the centering motor 77 is a servo motor.

When the traffic cone needs to be placed, the traffic cone is placed through the process.

When the stripping mechanism 3 starts to work, the stripping cylinder 31 extends to drive the stripping support frame 33 to move downwards, and after the sensor detects that the first clamping block 361 successfully enters the working position, the clamping cylinder 37 extends to drive the second clamping block 362 and the first clamping block 361 to clamp the traffic cones to be stacked; at the same time, the second air cylinder 232 of the storage mechanism 2 contracts, and the second lug 234 of the air cylinder exits from the working position; at this time, the single-axis robot 236 drives the slide block push plate 235 to pull back for a certain distance, and after the work is completed, the synchronous belt module 34 drives the stripping manipulator 36 to move back, and the traffic cone groups are stacked back; after the stacking is successful, the second air cylinder 232 of the storage mechanism 2 extends, the second lug 234 of the air cylinder enters the working position to limit the traffic cone group, and the actions are completed to recover the traffic cones.

Referring to fig. 15, after all traffic cones are completely recovered, the centering motor 77 of the centering mechanism 7 drives the centering assembly 75 to rotate back to the initial position, and at the same time, the long cylinder 74 contracts to drive the slide rail 72 to contract back into the device, so that the centering mechanism 75 exits from the working state and is stored in the carriage.
