Red and green traffic light should be waterproof

Red and green traffic lights are a type of transportation installed outdoors, used to control and guide vehicles and pedestrians at various intersections. Since traffic lights are installed outdoors, they are inevitably exposed to the sun and rain. We all know that traffic lights are composed of some electronic components. Once rain enters the housing of the traffic lights, the equipment will be damaged, so the traffic lights must be waterproofed.

Qixiang has accumulated profound experience in the manufacture of red and green traffic lights. Whether it is the intelligent transportation hub of the main roads in the city or the safety control node of the community roads, we ensure that the product brightness is uniform, the display is clear, and the operation is stable.

1. Lamp head: The sealing of the lamp head of the traffic light must be guaranteed, and the waterproof treatment of the lamp head can ensure the service life of the traffic light. Therefore, the selection of the signal light housing is very important. Generally, the waterproof and dustproof level reaches IP54 for normal use.

2. Controller: When choosing, pay attention to whether the style has waterproof performance. For the controller, it is usually placed in the road during installation to avoid wind and sun.

3. Battery: It must have a certain waterproof performance. When installing the battery, the battery should be buried about 40 cm underground to prevent the battery from being soaked in water.

Red and green traffic lights are widely used because of their corrosion resistance, rainproof, dustproof, impact resistance, aging resistance, long service life, high energy absorption rate, and stable circuit. They are generally used to warn and remind drivers to drive carefully to avoid traffic accidents and accidents.

During normal use, red and green traffic lights should be kept away from cool and humid places to extend battery life. If the batteries, circuits and other electronic devices of the signal lights are stored in a cool and humid place for a long time, it is easy to damage the electronic components.

Therefore, in the daily maintenance of red and green traffic lights, red and green traffic light manufacturers should pay attention to their protection. What should be paid attention to when conducting waterproof tests?

At present, most red and green traffic lights on the market are IP54 rated. Today we will see how to do the IP54 rating test.

Test equipment: Use a drip test device for testing.

Sample placement: Place the sample on a rotating sample table at 1r/min in the normal working position. The distance from the top of the sample to the drip outlet should not exceed 200mm.

Test conditions: The drip volume should be controlled at 10.5mm/min.

Duration: The test should last 10 minutes.

Test purpose: Verify that the dustproof level of the housing of electrical and electronic products is level 5 and the waterproof level is level 4.

Through the above test method, it can be evaluated whether the product meets the dustproof and waterproof requirements of IP54 level.
