And it relates to a buried road sign bottle is improved visibility securing function.

As the road marker bottle is widely known, it is a marker means installed on a central separation line, a road boundary line, a sharp curve line, etc., and is installed in a place where safety is required on the road, and serves to inform a vehicle driver of various road information.

In particular, when there is a difficulty in securing a forward view of the vehicle driver, such as on a cloudy day or at night, the vehicle driver can easily identify road conditions by retroreflecting light emitted from the vehicle (eg, headlight light).

In the case of road sign bottles introduced until recently, various types of road sign bottles appeared depending on the material and structure, but most of the road sign bottles that are actually applied have a body protruding upward from the road surface, and reflectors through at least one side of the body. Or it has a form provided with a light-emitting body. This was because the driver could easily identify road information while driving the vehicle.

However, in the case of such a well-known road marker bottle, as the body protrudes from the road surface, there is a problem of frequently being damaged or dislodged due to a collision with a vehicle in operation. In addition, when installed on a snowy road due to the topography, there was a problem that the protruding body is damaged and detached by being blown from the snow removing vehicle, and in this case, the maintenance of the road sign bottle and a new replacement were expensive. .

Therefore, it is possible to secure a structural strength that can withstand the load and impact of the vehicle in operation without being hit by the vehicle in operation, and to develop an improved road marker that can easily identify road information to the vehicle driver. Attention is rising.

The present invention provides a buried road marker bottle embedded in the road surface that can reduce the impact damage from the vehicle running on the road.

 In addition, the present invention provides a buried road marker bottle that can deliver the road information to the vehicle driver with high visibility even when embedded in the road surface.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention, and the manner of achieving them, will be apparent from and elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments disclosed below but may be embodied in various different forms. The embodiments to be described herein are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and that those skilled in the art will fully understand the scope of the present invention. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described with respect to preferred embodiments of the buried road sign bottle according to the present invention.

First Embodiment

1 is an exploded perspective view briefly showing a buried road sign bottle according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

The buried road sign bottle 100 according to the present embodiment includes a transparent body 110 embedded in a road surface, and a reflector that is embedded in the body 110 and reflects light emitted from the front to irradiate the reflected light L ′. 130.

The body 110 is a member that is embedded in the ground of the road, and is a member for forming an exterior of the buried road marker bottle according to the present embodiment. In particular, in the case of the buried road sign bottle 100, it is important to ensure structural rigidity and material hardness to withstand the load and impact force applied from the vehicle running along the road surface.

In particular, the body 110 may use a transparent synthetic resin material capable of transmitting the reflected light (L ') in order to enable the front vehicle driver to recognize the reflected light (L') emitted from the reflector 130. have. In addition, the metal alloy material may be partially applied to make the structural stiffness stronger for some weak areas. As a specific example, it is possible to use a polycarbonate (Polycarbonate, PC) material that is lightweight, inexpensive and easy to secure structural strength.

Next, another configuration of the body 110 will be described before describing the reflector 130.

The shape of the upper portion, that is, the upper surface of the body 110 may be formed to be inclined downward toward both ends of the front, rear from the center (C.L) in the longitudinal longitudinal direction. This is to prevent the water trapped in the upper surface (110a) of the body, in particular in the case of rain to prevent rain from raining down to the ground to the upper surface (110a) of the body.

If water accumulates on the upper surface 110a of the body, a phenomenon in which the wheel of the vehicle driving on the road surface slips when the water comes in contact with the accumulated road marker bottle (ie, a road slip phenomenon) may occur. Since the road slip phenomenon may act as a serious cause of a vehicle crash accident, a water trap suppression structure is adopted to prevent this. That is, the phenomenon that water is accumulated in the upper surface (110a) of the body inclined downward to both sides from the center (CL) of the body (110).

The upper surface 110a of the body may be provided with a plurality of linear protrusions 112 protruding upward along the direction in which the vehicle travels along the road surface (ie, the front and rear directions of the body).

In particular, each of the plurality of linear protrusions 112 may be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval. The plurality of linear protrusions 112 are configured such that the wheels of the vehicle in operation do not directly contact the front surface of the upper surface 110a of the body, thereby reducing the contact friction area by the wheels, thereby allowing the upper surface 110a of the body to be exposed. Minimize damage. As a result, the reflected light L ′ irradiated from the reflector 130 embedded in the body 110 may not be interfered by the damaged surface and may be strongly identified even to the field of view of the vehicle driver while maintaining high visibility. Preferably, the irradiation path of the reflected light L ′ of the reflector 130 may be formed between the intervals of the plurality of linear protrusions 112. As a result, the reflected light L 'may not be interrupted by each of the linear protrusions 112, so that visibility can be further improved.

In addition, a lower cover 120 that is detachably coupled to the lower surface 110b of the body may be provided. The lower cover 120 is a cover member that is detached and detached through the lower surface 110b of the body for new replacement when the reflector 130 is newly mounted on the body 110 or when the reflector 130 reaches the end of its life. . Therefore, the shape and structure of the lower cover 120 need not be limited to the specific shape shown, and may be slightly different through various embodiments.

An interior long groove (111 of FIG. 2) that is opened and closed by the lower cover 120 is provided inside the body 110, and the reflector 130 is accommodated through the inner long groove.

Subsequently, the structure of the internal long groove 111 of the body in which the reflector 130 and the reflector 130 are accommodated will be described with reference to FIG. 1 as well as FIG. 2.

The reflector 130 is a light reflecting member that is received through the internal long groove 111 of the body 110 and is hermetically fixed to the lower cover 120 described above. Referring to the accompanying drawings, a plurality of reflecting units ( 133).

In particular, the reflector 130 has a high visibility in the field of view of the vehicle driver running from the front, and by the angle (a °) set upward on the road surface G in order to recognize the reflected light L '. It may be arranged to be inclined. Preferably, the set angle a ° is preferably about 15 °, and this angle does not greatly limit the present invention. Therefore, the angle a ° may be slightly different.

In particular, the reflective unit 133 shown in FIG. 1 has a configuration form including a rear socket 137 and a reflector 134 that is fixed through the socket 137. That is, after the light of the vehicle irradiated from the front (eg, the headlight light) converges through the front surface 135 of the reflector, it is reflected through the rear surface 136 of the reflector and irradiates the reflected light L ′ back to the front. It is made of a structure. Therefore, it is preferable that the light reflecting material be treated in various ways (eg, reflective paint, reflective film, etc.) on the rear surface 136 of the reflector, that is, on the mounting fixing surface of the socket 137.

2 is a rear exploded perspective view briefly showing a buried road sign bottle according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the reflector 130 including the plurality of reflection units 133 is received through the internal long groove 111 of the body 110.

As shown, a plurality of receiving grooves 115 are provided in the internal long groove 111 of the body 110 so that each reflective unit 133 may be individually accommodated in the body 110. Here, the number of the accommodating grooves 115 corresponds to the number of the reflection units 133 embedded in the buried road sign bottle 100 according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, the accommodation grooves 115 are spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal direction of the internal long groove 111 of the body 110. The reflection unit 133 is accommodated one by one inside each receiving groove 115. In addition, a reinforcing rib 116 is provided at a boundary section between the receiving grooves 115 into which the reflection unit 133 is inserted to partition the internal long groove 111 in the horizontal direction. The reinforcing rib 116 is a portion for reinforcing the structurally fragile portion in the body 110 by the internal long groove 111, the present invention need not be limited by the specific shape shown. Therefore, the present invention may be modified in various shapes and sizes.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the light reflecting material m may be treated on the inner wall surface of the accommodating groove 115, and the light reflecting material m may also be applied to the upper surface 120a of the lower cover 120. This can be handled. This is to enhance the light reflection intensity of the reflection unit 133 disposed in the space enclosed by the accommodation groove 115 and the lower cover 120, and is received from the reflected light converged and irradiated through the reflection unit 133. The diffusely reflected light toward the groove 115 or the upper surface 120a of the lower cover may be collected and irradiated forward. That is, by this, the light reflection intensity is improved, and light can be more intensely exposed to the field of view of the vehicle driver in front.

On the other hand, the buried road sign bottle 100 according to the present embodiment including the above-described configuration may be fixed to the road ground by various means, in Figure 1 uses a plate bolt 140 as a specific fixing means. That is, as one or more bolt fastening balls 141 are provided in the edge section of the body, the prepared plate bolts 140 pass through the bolt fastening balls 141 to pour to the inside of the road surface. Accordingly, the fixing operation of the buried road sign bottle 100 is enabled.

3 is a cross-sectional view of a buried road marker bottle constructed along a road surface according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, first, the road surface G is dug to a predetermined depth, and then the body 110 in which the plurality of reflection units 133 are embedded is embedded. In this case, the shape of the body 110 may have a shape in which the upper surface 110a is narrower than the lower surface 110a, and has a shape in which the cross-sectional area is inclined toward an upward angle by a predetermined angle b °. This is intended to facilitate construction during embedding of the body 110, and to maintain a fixed state by pouring reinforcement soil or silicon along the edge of the embedded body 110. In addition, by fastening the prepared plate bolt 140 vertically between the body 110 and the ground can be more firmly fixed state of the buried road sign bottle.

On the other hand, the upper surface (110a) of the body has a shape inclined toward both ends from the front and rear longitudinal center (CL) of the body, it can be prevented from sticking. That is, since the height h2 at both ends is relatively lower than the height h1 at the front-rear longitudinal center CL of the body, the water trapping phenomenon at the upper surface 110a of the body is excluded.

Second Embodiment

4 is an exploded perspective view briefly showing a buried road sign bottle according to a second embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 is a rear exploded perspective view briefly showing a buried road sign bottle according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the case of the second embodiment of the present invention, compared to the buried road sign bottle 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above with reference to FIGS. In addition, the other configuration and effect are the same as the first embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, referring to the description of the sign to be described later will be understood in detail with respect to the configuration

As described above, according to the buried road marker bottle of the present invention, the road marker bottle can be embedded in the road surface, thereby reducing collision damage from the vehicle in operation. In addition, it is possible to increase the durability life of the road sign name by securing the rigidity to structurally withstand the load and impact of the vehicle in operation. As a result, it is possible to reduce the maintenance cost of the road sign bottle as well as the cost of new replacement.

Furthermore, even when embedded in the road surface, it is possible to provide the road information to be transmitted to the field of view of the vehicle driver with high visibility. This can be made possible by the material of the transparent body as a whole and the reflector which is built in the body but whose light reflection angle is upwardly adjusted. In particular, the reflector embedded in the road sign bottle reflects light emitted from the vehicle (eg, headlight) upwards at a predetermined angle (eg 15 °) relative to the road surface. As a result, the reflected light can be identified with high visibility in the field of view of the driver in the vehicle.

Furthermore, since the shape of the section exposed to the road surface is formed to be inclined downward to both front and rear sides, it is possible to prevent the water trapping through the upper surface. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the slip problem of the wheel of the vehicle in operation to slip on the road surface can reduce the occurrence rate of safety accidents. In addition, by minimizing the area where the wheels of the vehicle directly contact in the section exposed to the road surface, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of surface damage on the path to which the reflected light is irradiated. As a result, the visibility of the reflected light is secured higher, and the road information can be more accurately transmitted to the vehicle driver.
