Abstract

A luminous traffic sign plate with speed detecting and warning function has a vertical polar frame, with a landing end and a functioning section. An indicating plate is fitted on the functioning section and has a marking surface. The marking surface has a traffic sign. An LED lighting unit has a plurality of LED components and conducting wires to connect the LED components. Said LED lighting unit is fitted and distributed on the marking surface so that the traffic sign is in a luminous state. A speed detecting device is fitted on the functioning section and detects the speed of the vehicle from predetermined direction. A warning device generates a warning signal. An electro-control device is for connecting and integrating the LED lighting unit, speed detecting device, and warning device, and to control the lighting state of the LED lighting unit. A power supply device supplies electric power.

Claims

1. A luminous traffic sign plate with speed detecting and warning function, comprising:

a vertical frame, being a vertical polar frame, with a landing end and a functioning section;

at least one indicating plate, fitted on the functioning section of the vertical frame, said indicating plate has a marking surface, and the marking surface has a traffic sign;

an LED lighting unit, comprising a plurality of LED components and conducting wires to connect the LED components;

said LED lighting unit is fitted and distributed on the marking surface of the indicating plate, so that the traffic sign is in a luminous state;

a speed detecting device, fitted on the functioning section of the vertical frame;

said speed detecting device will detect the speed of the vehicle from predetermined direction;

a warning device, to generate a preset style of warning signal;

an electro-control device, fitted on the functioning section of the vertical frame, connecting and integrating the LED lighting unit, speed detecting device, and warning device, to control the lighting state of the LED lighting unit, and control the warning device to automatically generate a preset warning signal based on the speed detected by the speed detecting device;

a power supply device, electrically connected to the LED lighting unit, speed detecting device, warning device, and the electro-control device, to supply electric power for overall functioning.

2. The device defined in claim 1, wherein the speed detecting device is a speed detecting structure of any kind:

induction coil;

radar;

or laser.

3. The device defined in claim 1, wherein the warning device is any structure of a flashing warning lamp, an illumination lamp, a dynamic message sign displayer, a controllable LED indicating plate, or an alarm.

4. The device defined in claim 1, wherein the power supply device is any kind of cells, municipal electricity, or cells combined with solar power photovoltaie panel.

5. The device defined in claim 1, wherein the functioning section of the vertical frame is configured with an auxiliary sensor, which is electrically connected to the electro-control device;

the auxiliary sensor can detect a preset environmental state as the requisite for the speed detecting device to execute the speed detection of the coming vehicle.
