Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mast for traffic signs, and more particularly to a mast for activating and deactivating traffic signs.
  • the document describes DE 201 20 263 U1 a designed in the form of a flap shield, attached to a mast road sign.
  • the traffic sign shown on the folding sign can be activated or deactivated by opening or closing the folding sign.
  • the operation of the flap shield via a manually operated lever on the mast of the flap shield.
  • Another folding shield which is placed for example on a median strip of a multi-lane road, can be operated remotely via a cable connected to the lever from the first mast.
  • the operation of the lever on the first mast must be carried out on site, ie at the location of the first mast.
  • Desmannn describes the document DE 296 06 146 U1 a tabular foldable traffic sign support.
  • Folding mechanism can be operated by motor, which allows remote control of the folding mechanism.
  • the mast according to the invention is capable of activating and deactivating traffic signs in such a way that it is immediately apparent to a driver whether the traffic sign is valid or not.
  • the transmission also serves to fix the shield in one of the predetermined positions and prevents the position of the traffic sign is influenced by external influences such as wind.
  • tubular motor By using a tubular motor, it is possible to optimally utilize the space inside the first and second pipe sections and provide a motor capable of reliably rotating even a larger traffic sign. Furthermore, there is an advantage that commercially available tubular motors can be used, as e.g. used in shutters. As a result, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
  • the activation and deactivation of the traffic signs can be carried out remotely.
  • the position of the traffic sign can be controlled from a central facility and multiple traffic signs can be simultaneously centrally controlled in order to be able to react quickly to changes in traffic from a central location.
  • the mast can be placed anywhere independent of existing power grids.
  • the remote control via the radio module a flexible use of the mast is ensured.
  • the mast is easy to install and does not have to be connected to an existing power supply.
  • this communication device By activating and deactivating a traffic sign along a multi-lane road, this communication device enables reliable activation and deactivation of one or more corresponding traffic signs along this road without having to drive the one or more traffic signs separately.
  • the invention provides a traffic sign which is attached to a mast as described above.
  • reference numeral 10 denotes a mast
  • 11 denotes a first pipe section
  • 12 denotes a second pipe section.
  • Reference numeral 13 a connecting element, 131 a fixing portion and 132 a guide portion of the connecting element.
  • Reference numeral 14 denotes a drive means, 15 a driver, 16 a cap and 20 a traffic sign.
  • reference numeral 30 designates a traffic control system unit, 31 a housing, 32 a radio module, 33 a signal transmission assembly, such as a radio control unit. an infrared transmitter-receiver, 34 energy components, 35 a supply cable and 36 a solar panel.
  • Reference numeral 40 denotes a multi-lane roadway and 41 a slave traffic guidance system unit.
  • a mast 10 consists of a first pipe section 11 and a second pipe section 12.
  • the two pipe sections are arranged such that their central axes coincide.
  • the mast 10 comprises a drive device 14, which is arranged in the interior of at least one of the first and second pipe sections 11, 12.
  • the drive device 14 is a tubular motor which lies inside both the first pipe section 11 and the second pipe section 12.
  • the first pipe section 11 is stationary and may e.g. be fixed in the ground or on a guardrail.
  • the second pipe section 12 is rotatable about the drive means 14 about its central axis.
  • the first and the second pipe sections are connected via a connecting element 13.
  • the connecting element 13 consists of a fixing portion 131 to which the first stationary pipe section 11, for example by means of screws, and a guide section 132.
  • the guide section 132 serves to guide the rotatable second pipe section 12 about its central axis. Accordingly, the outer diameter of the guide section 132 is preferably slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the second tube section 12 in order to ensure a substantially friction-free rotation of the second tube section 12.
  • a driver 15 is attached, via which the second pipe section 12 is attached to the drive device 14.
  • the second pipe section 12 is rotatable by 180 degrees and can be locked in each case at positions of 0 degrees, 90 degrees and 180 degrees.
  • the engine may be additionally connected to a transmission.
  • the transmission increases the force that can be applied to rotate the shield and, on the other hand, prevents the shield from being rotated by external influences, such as wind.
  • the transmission can be used for locking in one of the predetermined positions.
  • a cap 16 for closing the second pipe section 12 is provided.
  • Fig. 2 shows a traffic sign, which is attached to a mast according to the embodiment of the invention.
  • the mast 10 is shown with the first pipe section 11 and the second pipe section 12.
  • the traffic sign 20 is attached to the second rotatable tube section 12, for example by means of screws, and can be mounted around a in Fig. 2 by a Dotted line A axis shown either left or right to be rotated.
  • the traffic sign can be aligned in a first position such that the surface of the traffic sign is directly visible from the front and thus completely, as in Fig. 2 is shown.
  • the traffic sign is brought via the second pipe section 12 by means of the driver 15 and the drive means 14 in the first position. If the traffic sign should not be valid, that is to be deactivated, the traffic sign is correspondingly brought into the second position. Since the traffic sign in this position from the front, so from the perspective of a driver, barely perceptible, the driver does not have to judge whether it is now a valid traffic sign or not. The traffic sign can thus be activated and deactivated via the second rotatable tube section 12.
  • the drive device 14 is preferably a tubular motor, as it occurs, for example, in shutters. It should be noted, however, that any other form of drive means is applicable as far as it has the same advantages.
  • the drive device lies inside both the first pipe section 11 and the second pipe section 12. It should be noted, however, that the drive device can also be arranged only in one of the two pipe sections 11, 12.
  • the second rotatable pipe section 12 is disposed above the first stationary pipe section 11.
  • the first stationary pipe section 11 is arranged above the second rotatable pipe section 12 and the first pipe section 11 is fastened, for example, to a bridge above the roadway.
  • the first and second pipe sections are preferably tubes with a round cross-section. However, it is also possible to use tubes of any desired cross section as long as the function of the mast is ensured. In the case of a non-round second tubular section 12, it is advantageous, for example, to use a round cross-section, at least at the lower part in conjunction with the connecting element, so that the tubular section 12 can be rotated properly.
  • a flat plate with a front and a back is shown.
  • signs that have three or more surfaces or an arrangement that has two or more signs applicable can then be used not only to activate and deactivate traffic signs, but also to switch between different traffic signs.
  • Fig. 3 Fig. 13 shows the construction of an example of a traffic control system unit using the mast according to the above-described embodiment of the invention.
  • traffic control system unit 30 consists for example of two or more tubes, wherein the in Fig. 3 Tube shown left consists of the first pipe section 11 and the second pipe section 12.
  • the traffic sign 20 is attached to the second rotatable tube section 12 and the drive device 14 is located inside the first and second tube sections 11, 12, as described above with reference to FIG FIGS. 1 and 2 described.
  • Fig. 3 shows the road sign 20 in the deactivated position, ie in the position in which only the side of the road sign can be seen.
  • the traffic control system unit 30 further comprises a housing 31, to which a radio module 32 is attached in order to enable a remote control of the drive device 14.
  • the radio module 32 may be, for example, a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) antenna. It should be noted, however, that any other form of radio remote control is applicable.
  • the housing 31 may also have an assembly 33 for signal transmission such as an infrared (IR) transmitter-receiver. An additional traffic control system unit can be actuated via the assembly 33, as described below with reference to FIG Fig. 4 is described.
  • the module for signal transmission may be, for example, an IR transmitter-receiver, as mentioned above. It should be noted, however, that any other type of signal transmission, such as Bluetooth or the like, may be used.
  • the housing 31 further includes conventional power components 34, which will not be further described and connected via a supply cable 35 to the drive means 14 to power them.
  • the system 30 is powered by a solar panel 36 with energy. It should be noted, however, that the power supply can also take place via a conventional power line, as far as it is available.
  • the traffic control system unit 30 can also consist of only one mast, in which case the housing 31 and the solar panel 36 are fastened to the first stationary pipe section 11.
  • Fig. 4 shows an example of a master-slave arrangement of two traffic control system units.
  • the master system 30 on the right side of a in Fig. 4 shown multi-lane roadway 40 corresponds in construction to in Fig. 3 shown system 30.
  • the slave system 41 which is set up on the other side of the multi-lane road, basically corresponds to the master system, but it does not have its own radio module, such as a GSM module on.
  • the slave system 41 is controlled by the master system 30 via, for example, an infrared connection by means of the IR transmitter-receiver.
  • the master system 30 receives an instruction to shift the traffic sign over the radio board 32, it forwards this instruction to the slave system 41 via, for example, the IR connection.
  • the slave system 41 does not need to be controlled separately via its own radio connection (eg GSM connection) and it is achieved that the traffic sign of the master system 30 and the road sign of the slave system 41 reliably occupy the same position.
  • GSM connection eg GSM connection
