Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of balcony railing technology, specifically a folding and storage type balcony railing. Background Technology
[0002] Balcony railings are aesthetic and protective facilities for the outer edge of balconies. They are made of alloy tubing through welding or assembly. Common low windowsills are about 0.5 meters from the ground. If a 0.4-meter railing or fence is added close to the inner wall, it will definitely meet the protection requirements of the regulations. If the windowsill is too large, such as a bay window, children often stand on the windowsill to look out, and users also have to stand on the windowsill to open the window. In this case, the height of the railing attached to the windowsill should reach 0.9 meters.
[0003] Existing balcony railings have a relatively simple function, mainly focusing on safety protection. For many residents, drying clothes is an important daily function of the balcony. However, existing balcony railings often cannot meet this need, and residents usually need to install additional clothes racks, which take up space when not in use, making the balcony space appear crowded and cluttered, affecting daily activities and leisure experience. Therefore, a folding and storage type balcony railing is proposed. Utility Model Content

A buffer plate 25 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the buffer frame 27. The bottom surface of the buffer plate 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the buffer pad 24. The fixing frame 210... The outer walls are slidably connected to the inner sides of the two movable sleeves 28. The top surfaces of the two movable sleeves 28 are respectively hinged to two tie rods 23. The side of the two tie rods 23 near the connecting frame 21 is hinged to the outer wall of the connecting frame 21. The side of the two movable sleeves 28 near each other is fixedly provided with a connecting plate 29. The inner side of the buffer frame 27 is fixedly provided with two buffer springs 211 and two buffer dampers 212. The top surfaces of the two buffer springs 211 and the two buffer dampers 212 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed frame 26.
[0032] The fixing mechanism 3 includes a fixing sleeve 31. The top surface of the fixing sleeve 31 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the guardrail body 1. An insert block 32 is slidably provided on the inner side of the fixing sleeve 31. A slot is provided on the outer wall of the connecting frame 21. The top surface of the insert block 32 extends through the inner side of the guardrail body 1 to the inner wall of the slot. A compression plate 33 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the insert block 32. A compression spring 34 and a compression damper 35 are fixedly provided on the top surface of the compression plate 33.
