Description

The utility model relates to devices for regulating the movement of road transport and can be used by the road transport service as an adjustment rod.

Known rod traffic controller, made in the form of a rod with black and white stripes. (Manual on the rules of the road. - Kiev: Technique, 1960, p.100).

The disadvantage of the wand is that it is not visible in the dark (evening, night).

The rod of the traffic controller is also known, which has a tubular body with luminous or reflective elements installed in it (Commentary on the rules of the road. - Moscow: - because of DOSAAF USSR, 1981, p.118-120).

The regulator’s wand, manufactured by STC OPTONIKA 000 (Moscow), contains a hollow tubular casing made of translucent impact-resistant plastic and a flashlight handle wound on a tubular casing and equipped with a cap with an axial hole for a flexible cord. LEDs are used as light sources. The handle of the rod, as well as the middle part of the body are made of opaque, contrasting color plastic.

This rod design has the following disadvantages:

- only one color LEDs are provided for illumination of the rod, which allows it to be used only in low light conditions, but does not provide additional signaling information using light signals of different colors, which limits its functionality;

- turning on and off the backlight of the rod is carried out. a switch located on the flashlight handle and often failing;

- in order to use the “Lantern” function, it is necessary to unscrew the handle from the tubular body, which reduces ergonomic indicators of its use;

- the place where the handle-lantern and the tubular body of the rod are mated is a node where the rod often breaks during operation;

- there is no control over the discharge of the energy source, which prevents the stable brightness of the light flux. Only the presence of a weak glow is a signal to replace the batteries or start charging the battery;

- the handle-lantern is made in the same way as the tubular body, made of plastic having a slippery surface, which makes it difficult to hold the rod in the hand of the traffic controller.

The objective of the utility model is to increase the durability, ergonomics and stability of the wand and expand its functionality.

The problem is solved due to the fact that the rod for traffic control, including a translucent tubular body with an opaque, contrasting color in comparison with the extreme segments of the tubular body, the middle part and the handle ending with a cap with an axial hole for a flexible cord, and colored LEDs, according to the claimed technical solution, the tubular housing is equipped with LEDs of different colors, combined by the color of the radiation into light sources installed with the possibility of Tew them in turn using a single-chip microcontroller, the two inputs of which are connected to

a power source, the third input is with a contact type acceleration sensor, and the outputs are connected to the inputs of the corresponding light sources, the other inputs of which are connected to a common wire connected to the output of a single-chip microcontroller, in addition, the body of the staff is equipped with a tip with an axial hole ending in a conical extension for the exit of the luminous flux from one of the light sources located at the end of the tubular body, the handle with a cap, the tip and the middle opaque part of the tubular body and are designed as sleeves of resilient material such as rubber, worn on the tubular body.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated in the drawing, where

figure 1 shows a General view of the inventive wand for traffic regulation (longitudinal section);

in Fig 2 is an electrical diagram of the claimed design.

The inventive design of the rod contains a tubular casing 1 with LEDs installed in it, combined by the color of the radiation into light sources 2 (red) and 3 (green) located along the walls of the casing, and 4 (white) located at the end of the casing. Light sources 2, 3 and 4 are installed with the possibility of turning them on alternately using a single-chip microcontroller 5, the two inputs of which (“a” and “c”) are connected to the outputs of the power source 6, the third input (c) is connected to the acceleration sensor of contact type 7 and the outputs of the single-chip microcontroller (d, e, f) are connected to the inputs (l, m, n) of the corresponding light sources 2, 3, 4, and the other inputs (o, p, q) of the light sources are connected to a common wire 8 connected to the conclusion (r) of a single-chip microcontroller.

The tubular casing of the rod is made of impact-resistant plastic and is equipped on one end with a cap 9 with an axial hole for the flexible cord 10, and on the other with a tip 11 with an axial hole 12,

ending with a conical expansion for the exit of the light flux from the light source 4 located at the end, and on the side of the body, the cap 9 is fitted with a mating sleeve - a handle 13, and on the middle part of the body - another sleeve 14, made in the same way as the cap 9 and tip 11, made of elastic, having an increased coefficient of friction in comparison with the body material and contrasting with it in the color of the material, for example, rubber. The implementation of the sleeve-handle 13 of such a material helps to keep the wand in the regulator’s hand, and the sleeve 14 in the middle part of the body provides separation of the light flux, fulfilling the necessary condition for the appearance of the wand - the effect of “zebra”.

Turning the wand on and off is done by lightly hitting the end of the wand from the side of the cap against the palm of your hand or any other object. In this case, the contact type acceleration sensor 7 is closed, the signal is fed to the input “c” of the single-chip microcontroller 5, which closes one of the contacts (d, e, f) alternately with each hit, connecting the corresponding light source. When the contact "f" is closed, the rod operates in the "Lantern" mode, providing a stable light flux for the entire time of the glow. If the wand works in the “Lantern” mode, then the next light blow from the end of the wand from the side of the cap against the palm of your hand or any other object puts the wand into the “off” state, i.e. all contacts (d, e, f) are open. The cycle of the work of the rod is completed. The next blow of the rod starts a new cycle of its work with the inclusion of contact "d".

In the case when in the "Lantern" mode the light source starts to "blink" with a frequency of 1-2 seconds, this means that a set of batteries needs to be replaced. In this case, if it is impossible to immediately replace the batteries, the user can use this mode for another 3-6 hours, depending on the ambient temperature. In this case, the operation of the rod in the signal information mode can be

continued regardless of the possibility of using the "Lantern" mode until the full use of the energy of the power source.

The inventive design solution allows you to use a different color illumination of the tubular body as permissive (green) or prohibitory (red) signals for traffic control, allows you to use it as a lamp by simply switching the operating modes (by the next light blow of the end of the rod from the side of the cap on the palm of the hand) . If necessary, LEDs of any other colors can be used.

Thus, the functionality and ergonomics of the structure are expanded. In addition, the claimed design provides increased durability and stability of the rod, as well as control over the discharge of the energy source.
