Especially, the road marker can be applicable in vehicle entering angles of roads of any kind such as a linear road, a curved road, etc., thereby maximizing retro-reflection efficiency.

Description

Lane Separation Road Sign {A Road Stud}

Normal road markers have a body that can withstand the harsh environment of the road through which the vehicle passes, and the body is attached with a reflector that can reflect at night.

The reflecting plate is usually applied with a material having a retrospective function which reflects the light back in the direction of incident light, or is attached to such a reflecting paper.

Lane markers are fixed to reflectors that cause retroreflection, so it is not easy to adapt and adjust them to various site environments at the time of installation. To solve this problem,

A first body having a reflector attached to an upper surface thereof, the first body having a cross section including at least one obtuse angle; and

A rotation axis located at a vertex of the obtuse angle; and

A second body which is rotated in a state coupled to the rotating shaft and is point symmetrical with the first body based on the center of the rotating shaft; and

It provides an easy to adjust the angle of the cover plate consisting of; the angle adjusting means that is fitted in the space opposite the portion abutting each other when the first body and the second body is coupled.

By the way, the main body provided is divided into two of the first body and the second body, even if the two are coupled around the rotation axis, even when a strong impact on the tire of the vehicle running at high speed on the road, the coupling force There is a problem that is difficult to maintain continuously.

In addition, foreign matters such as sand are sandwiched between the gaps between the two main bodies, or in particular, snow, rain, and the like penetrate in winter, so that the durability and the durability are weakened.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems while adapting the angle of the reflector of the cover bottle to the site such as a sharp curve to face the driver's front.

Even if it is a straight road besides a sharp curve road, the beacon is installed in a lane around one side or both sides of the road on which the vehicle proceeds, and therefore, it is observed that the vehicle is located on the left or right side of the vehicle instead of in front of the vehicle headlight or driver's field of view. The same applies to the driver of a vehicle traveling on the other side of the road. Therefore, the rotation angle of the reflection angle should be adjusted in a manner different from that of the sharp curve road.

The present invention as a solution to the above-mentioned problem,

main body; Fixing body for fixing the main body on the road; And a reflector provided in the main body;

Reflector mounting portions are formed on both front and rear sides of the main body to fix the reflectors.

An upper wall of the reflector placement unit; Lower wall; Left and right sidewalls; Rear wall; And a protrusion; and a rotation shaft capable of switching the rotation angle of the reflector is disposed in the reflector placement unit.

The configuration of the rotating shaft can be achieved through pivot coupling. Alternatively, the rear surface of the reflector may be achieved by leaning against the protrusion and using the rotation axis, and the left and right ends (or upper and lower ends) of the reflector may have a frictional force (or Jamming) is fixed. At this time, the shape of the reflector mounting portion is formed in accordance with the arc of the reflector.

In order to maximize the frictional force and the like, it is possible to form an unevenness on sidewalls (or upper and lower walls) of the reflector mounting portion, and to provide a friction member at each end of the reflector.

While maintaining the durability, it is possible to adapt and adjust the reflector plate that causes retroreflection of the road sign bottle to various site environments, and to adapt it to various site environments. It can be made to reflect toward the front can improve the reflection efficiency.

Accordingly, even if the headlight of the vehicle entering the sharp curve road can be directed toward the reflector in front of the driver, and even in the straight road, a predetermined angle of reflection adjustment is required for the marker to face the headlight of the vehicle and reflect it to the driver. It is necessary to fine tune this.

That is, it can be well adapted to the vehicle entry angle of the road such as straight road and curve road to maximize the efficiency of retroreflection.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main body 10 includes a main body 10, a fixed body 30, and a reflector 20. Such may follow the structure and form of a conventional marker bottle.

The main body 10 is generally provided in the form of a quadrangular as shown in the figure, but in addition to the situation that various forms such as circular, oval, polygonal are used.

The main body 10 may be used by inserting a rod-shaped fixed body 30 having a pointed end so as to be firmly fixed to the road, and in the vertical direction to the body of the main body 10 to fit the fixed body 30 The hollow fixing hole 11 can be formed. The contractor performs a construction or installation process by digging a hole on the road and matching the hole on the road with the fixing hole 11 and then inserting and fixing the fixing body 30.

In addition, the construction is also being carried out so that the bottom of the cover bottle body 10 can be attached directly on the road by using an adhesive, and the fixing hole 11 can be omitted without forming. That is, the adhesive replaces the fixing body 30. In the construction site, various methods of fixing the main body 10 of the cover bottle on the road have been used. In the present invention, the fixing hole 11 and the rod-shaped fixing body 30 will be merely one example. .

The front and rear sides of the main body 10 are formed with reflector mounting portions 12 which are formed by digging grooves so as to include the reflectors 20, respectively.

The present invention has its features in the reflector 20 and the space for storing it. Therefore, a focus will be given in this regard.

The reflector 20 includes a reflector 21 and a reflector sheet 22. The reflector 20 may have a rectangular shape, as well as other shapes, such as circular, elliptical, and polygonal shapes, as illustrated in the drawing.

3, after preparing the reflective paper 21 and the reflective paper mounting plate 22 separately, by applying an adhesive on the back of the reflective paper 21 to adhere to the front surface of the reflective paper mounting plate 22, or From the reflective paper 21 and the reflective paper mounting plate 22 can be formed integrally provided.

The reflective paper 21 generally uses a retroreflective paper provided with a configuration for generating retroreflective, such as a retroreflective paper coated with a retroreflective material on the front and an adhesive coated on the back. The retroreflective reflects the headlight of the vehicle back in that direction, and thus has a feature of being recognized as a high luminance by a night driver.

The reflective sheet mounting plate 22 to which the reflective sheet 21 is to be attached is provided as a rigid member such as metal or synthetic resin to support the shape of the reflective sheet 21 so as not to be distorted, and to maintain the facing direction.

If necessary, at the time of installation and construction, the edge of the reflecting plate mounting plate 22, that is, each end is in contact with the inner wall of the reflector mounting portion 12, rotates with little resistance and rotates the rotation angle ( In order to facilitate the adjustment of θ1 and θ2), the member of the reflector 20 may be selected to be soft or elastic to some extent.

The reflector placement unit 12 is horizontally rotated so that the reflector 20 may be installed at a position about halfway in the horizontal longitudinal direction of the reflector 20 so as to be installed toward the front of the vehicle by changing the angle viewed by the reflector 20 from side to side. It can have a vertical axis of rotation possible. The reflector 20 may also be rotatably coupled with a rotation axis corresponding to the rotation axis. Through such a configuration, the reflector 20 is coupled to the reflector placement unit 12 by a pivot pv, and FIG. 4 shows a state in which both of them are pivot pv coupled. The pivot pv coupling preferably has friction against rotation so that the adjusted rotation angles θ1 and θ2 can be maintained.

In addition, the reflector placement unit 12 should form a space necessary for rotating the reflector 20 to change the angle. The space is required at the front as well as the rear of the reflector 20.

To this end, first, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5A, the reflector arranging unit 12 includes an upper wall 12c, a lower wall 12b, and left and right sidewalls 12a to move the reflector 20 into a tire impact of a vehicle. Enclose it to protect it from the outside environment.

Next, a rear wall 12d is arranged in the rearward direction of the reflector 20. The rear wall 12d takes the form of a chevron, that is, a V shape in plan view. Taking this shape, when adjusting the rotation angles θ1 and θ2 in the viewing direction by rotating the reflector 20, a left and right space that can accommodate rotation of the reflector 20 on the rear wall 12d side is secured. It is. The axis of rotation of the reflector 20 is located at the V-shaped protrusion 12e.

The rotation axis may be made through pivot (pv) coupling, and the example of FIGS. 3 and 4 is a configuration for pivoting the lower wall of the reflector 20 and the lower wall 12b of the reflector mounting portion 12. Although not illustrated, a configuration in which the upper end of the reflector 20 and the upper wall 12c of the reflector placement unit 12 is pivoted (pv) may be taken.

However, the pivot (pv) coupling may be omitted for convenience in manufacturing and cost reduction. In this case, while rotating the rear surface of the reflector 20 to the projecting portion (12e) of the V-shape it can be adjusted to the rotation angle (θ1, θ2) by using this as the rotation axis. The means for maintaining the adjusted rotation angles θ1 and θ2 of the reflector 20 may include sidewalls 12a of the reflector placement portion 12 and the reflector 20, as illustrated in FIG. 4 or 5A. Use frictional force or locking between the left and right ends. Of course, a friction force between the upper wall 12c or the lower wall 12b of the reflector mounting portion 12 and the upper and lower ends of the reflector 20 may be used. Thus, in order to maintain the rotation angles θ1 and θ2 by friction force or the like without separately engaging the pivot pv, the shapes of the upper and lower walls 12, c, 12b and the sidewalls 12a of the reflector mounting portion 12 are shown. Should be formed so that the edge of the reflector 20 (ie, each end) corresponds to the rotating arc.

Here, the configuration of FIGS. 5B and 5C is for maximizing the friction force or locking to induce rotation angles θ1 and θ2.

In the example of FIG. 5B, the unevenness 12a ′ is formed by taking the form of the unevenness in which the floor and the valley are formed on the left and right sidewalls 12a of the reflector placement portion 12. The left and right ends of the reflector 20 are caught by the unevenness 12a` so that the rotation angles θ1 and θ2 designated at the time of construction can be maintained without being affected by the strong impact of the vehicle tires, and the environment of the harsh road for a long time can be maintained. I can overcome it.

5C shows a rotation angle by inducing friction to a portion of the reflector mounting portion 12 which is in contact with the left and right sidewalls 12a by attaching a friction member having a high frictional force such as urethane or rubber to the left and right ends of the reflector 20. It shows the configuration to keep the stop state. Of course, the configuration of FIGS. 5B and 5C may be implemented together.

6-9 illustrate an embodiment of use of the present invention.

6 and 7 show a case where the curved curve road w1 is used. As shown in FIG. 7A, the rotation angle θ1 is adjusted so that one end portion of both reflectors 20 attached to the front and back of the cover bottle body 10 is collected. In this way, the front surfaces of both reflectors 20 can face the front headlights of the vehicles v1 and v2 entering each other's lanes on the curve as shown in FIG. 7B.

A relative example to this is the illustration of FIGS. 8 and 9. Rotation angle θ2 such that both reflectors 20 attached to the front and back of the beacon take parallel forms so as to maintain the best reflection angle with respect to the vehicles v1 and v2 entering each other on the straight road w1. ) Is adjusted. This allows the reflector 20 to always face the front of the headlights of the vehicles entering in the opposite direction on the straight road.

Meanwhile, referring to the example of FIG. 9A, when the reflector 20 is given a rotation angle θ at a left or right side instead of the front side, the reflector inserts the reflector. One space (vac) of the mounting portion 12 is empty a lot. That is, as the space of the other side is narrowed between the rear surface of the reflector 20 and the walls of the reflector placement unit 12, one empty space vac becomes wider. However, foreign matter may penetrate here, or moisture may cause problems due to winter freezing and thawing. Accordingly, there is a need for a member to fill the vac.

In the example shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the present invention provides a

Viscous oil, silicone. A fixed fluid 23c selected by a member such as asphalt, a semi-solid fluid such as a synthetic resin in a semi-liquid state, or a solid but solid in the form of particles such as sand that is movable; A fixed fluid passage (23b) having a narrow space in the center so that the fixed fluid (23c) passes through a large external force or artificial work, but gives a large resistance so that it is difficult to cross again; The fixed fluid 23c is sealed to the outside on the left and right sides thereof, and the flexible fluid that can be shrunk and reduced in size is made of a flexible synthetic resin, a waterproofed cloth, etc. Into pocket 23a; A space filling unit 23 is further provided.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 11A, the rear surface of the reflector 20 is attached to the front surface of the space filling unit 23. The reflector 20 incorporating the space filling unit 23 replaces the configuration in which only the reflector 20 is inserted into the reflector placement unit 12 of FIGS. 3 to 5.

FIG. 11 shows the operation and the state of the space filling unit 23. The state of FIG. 11A does not press one of the left and right sides so that the reflector faces the front.

FIG. 11B illustrates pushing the left fixed fluid bag 23a of the space filling unit 23 to move the fixed fluid 23c to the right fl.

On the contrary, FIG. 11C illustrates pushing the right fixed fluid bag 23a of the space filling unit 23 to move the fixed fluid 23c to the left.

The push may be made in advance from the outside before inserting the reflector 20 with the space filling unit 23 into the reflector mounting portion 12.

Conversely, depending on the situation, it may be made immediately at the installation site after the insertion. In this case, the contractor pushes by hand or using a tool, which is blocked by the rear wall 12d disposed in the rearward direction of the reflector 20 of FIGS. 2 to 9. Since the pocket 23a is pushed in the opposite direction, it is reduced or crushed in the shape of FIGS. 11B and 11C so that the fixed fluid in the space passes through the fixed fluid passage 23b and the other fixed fluid bag 23a. Flow into the space of (fl).
