Abstract
A warning triangle structure includes a base, a triangle, a number of connecting rods, and a braking device. The triangle includes a bottom end and a top end opposite the bottom end. The bottom end is fixedly mounted to the base. Each of the connecting rods includes a first end and a second end. The first end is fixedly coupled to the base, and the second end is mounted with a rotatable support wheel. The braking device is installed at the second end of at least one of the connecting rods. The braking device includes a transmission shaft coupled to the support wheel. The braking device controls the support wheel to stop rotating by stopping the transmission shaft from rotating.

A warning triangle structure comprising:
- a base;
- a triangle comprising a bottom end and a top end opposite the bottom end, the bottom end fixedly mounted to the base;
- a plurality of connecting rods, each of the plurality of connecting rods comprising a first end and a second end, the first end fixedly coupled to the base, and the second end mounted with a rotatable support wheel;
- and
- a braking device installed at the second end of at least one of the plurality of connecting rods;
- wherein:
- the braking device comprises a rotor, a transmission shaft fixedly coupled to the rotor, an electromagnet, a spring, a brake disc, a friction plate, and a shell;
- the shell houses the rotor, the electromagnet, the spring, the brake disc, the friction plate, and a portion of the transmission shaft, a rest of the transmission shaft is outside the shell and coupled to the rotatable support wheel;
- the electromagnet, the spring, the brake disc, and the friction plate are sleeved on the transmission shaft in sequence on a same side of the rotor;
- the spring is coupled between the electromagnet and the brake disc;
- the electromagnet is fixed on the shell, and the electromagnet, the spring, and the brake disc do not rotate with the rotation of the transmission shaft;
- the friction plate is fixedly coupled to the transmission shaft and rotates as the transmission shaft rotates;
- when the rotor rotates, the electromagnet generates a magnetic force and attracts the brake disc to separate from the friction plate, the spring is compressed, the rotor drives the transmission shaft to rotate, and the transmission shaft drives the rotatable support wheel to rotate;
- when the rotor stops rotating, the magnetic force of the electromagnet disappears, the spring restores to cause the brake disc and the friction plate to come in contact, the friction plate stops rotating, the transmission shaft is stopped from rotating, and the rotatable support wheel coupled to the transmission shaft stops rotating.
A warning triangle structure comprising:
- a base;
- a triangle comprising a bottom end and a top end opposite the bottom end, the bottom end fixedly mounted to the base;
- a plurality of connecting rods, each of the plurality of connecting rods comprising a first end and a second end, the first end fixedly coupled to the base, and the second end mounted with a rotatable support wheel;
- and
- a worm gear reducer;
- wherein:
- the worm gear reducer comprises a motor, a worm coupled to the motor, a worm gear engaged with the worm, a transmission shaft, and a housing;
- the housing receives the worm, the worm gear, and a portion of the transmission shaft, a rest of the transmission shaft is outside the housing and coupled to the rotatable support wheel;
- rotation of the motor drives the worm to rotate;
- the transmission shaft comprises a front end and a rear end;
- the front end is coupled to the worm gear, and the rear end is coupled to the rotatable support wheel;
- when the motor rotates to drive the worm to rotate, the worm drives the worm gear to rotate, the worm gear drives the transmission shaft to rotate through the front end, and the rotatable support wheel coupled to the transmission shaft is driven to rotate;
- when the motor stops rotating, the worm coupled to the motor stops rotating, the worm gear stops rotating, the transmission shaft coupled to the worm gear stops rotating, and the rotatable support wheel stops rotating.
