Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of municipal engineering, in particular to a flexible safety vehicle blocking pile. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society and the economy, the number of vehicles is increasing. To prevent safety hazards caused by uncontrolled driving or parking, bollards are installed in necessary areas to block vehicles. Bollards are commonly made of rubber, PVC, or PE through blow molding, steel pipe, and injection molding, and provide effective warning and blocking functions. There are many types of bollards, and based on the control method, they can be roughly divided into four types: fixed, flip-over, fixed, embedded, movable, and automatic.

[0003] Currently, most fixed bollards on the market utilize a steel pipe structure with a welded base, secured to the ground with expansion bolts. Because the bollards are rigid, impacts from external forces, such as motor vehicles, can cause serious damage to vehicles and passengers. Bollards are typically positioned at knee height, making collisions with bollards a significant risk for pedestrians, potentially leading to joint damage. This is especially true at night, when visibility is limited, posing a significant safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0007] It is further configured that the ratio of the height of the rigid base to the height of the connecting spring is in a range of 60% to 70%.

[0008] It is further configured that the protective sleeve is composited by two layers of rubber materials, which are a natural rubber layer and a chemical rubber layer from the outside to the inside.

[0009] Further configuration: the control device includes a main control circuit board, and the inner wall of the control protection part is provided with a first annular groove and a second annular groove from top to bottom, the first annular groove is used for the edge of the photovoltaic panel to be snapped in, and the second annular groove is used for the edge of the main control circuit board to be snapped in.

[0010] Further configuration: a accommodating space is opened inside the rigid base, a battery is provided at the bottom of the accommodating space, and a tilt detection device is also provided in the protective sleeve. The tilt detection device includes an infrared generator, a main infrared receiver and a mounting seat. The infrared generator is arranged at the bottom of the main control circuit board, the mounting seat is arranged at the top of the battery, and the main infrared receiver is arranged at the top of the mounting seat. The infrared generator and the main infrared receiver are both located on the axis of the protective sleeve. The infrared generator, the main infrared receiver and the battery are all electrically connected to the main control circuit board. The infrared generator is used to emit infrared rays to the bottom of the accommodating space.

[0011] Further configuration: a plurality of annular fixed grooves are opened on the top of the mounting seat, each of which is centered on the main infrared receiver, and a plurality of offset infrared receivers are arranged in the annular fixed grooves. The offset infrared receivers in each annular fixed groove are evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular fixed groove, and the offset infrared receivers are electrically connected to the main control circuit board.

[0012] Further configuration: the control device also includes an annular fixing frame, the main control circuit board is arranged in the annular fixing frame, the outer edge of the annular fixing frame is inserted into the second annular groove, and an annular magnet is also provided on the outer peripheral wall of the annular fixing frame.

The protective sleeve made of rubber material and the connecting spring mounted on the top of the rigid base soften the outer surface of the pile body. When a pedestrian collides with the pile body, the deformation of the connecting spring reduces the reaction force on the pedestrian, thereby protecting the pedestrian from injury. At the same time, the height ratio of the rigid base to the connecting spring is 60% to 70%. When pedestrians walk, their knees often collide with the pile body first. The setting of this height ratio range ensures that when a pedestrian collides with the pile body, the knees collide with the connecting spring part above the rigid base first, thereby better protecting the safety of the pedestrian's joints. When a bollard is hit, the elastic protective portion bends and deforms, causing the infrared light emitted by the infrared generator to deflect and be received by the offset infrared receiver. The main control circuit board activates the warning lights and speakers to issue an alarm signal, alerting nearby vehicles and preventing children from playing on the bollard, which could affect its lifespan. When the offset infrared receiver on the outermost layer picks up infrared light, indicating that the elastic protective portion has deformed excessively, potentially causing damage, the wireless communication module sends a fault signal to the host computer, enabling personnel to promptly carry out repairs and replacements to avoid disrupting the passage of vehicles and pedestrians.

A light-transmitting hole 111 is provided at the position opposite to the LED lamp beads. The arc light strip 10, the photosensor 8 and the photovoltaic panel 4 are all electrically connected to the control device 5.

[0025] The ratio of the height of the rigid base 1 to the height of the connecting spring 2 is in the range of 60% to 70%.

[0026] The protective sleeve 3 is composed of two layers of rubber material, which are a natural rubber layer and a chemical rubber layer from the outside to the inside.

[0027] The control device 5 includes a main control circuit board 51. The inner wall of the control protection part 31 is provided with a first annular groove 13 and a second annular groove 14 from top to bottom. The first annular groove 13 is used for the edge of the photovoltaic panel 4 to be inserted, and the second annular groove 14 is used for the edge of the main control circuit board 51 to be inserted.

[0028] A accommodating space 12 is provided inside the rigid base 1, and a battery 15 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating space 12. A tilt detection device is also provided in the protective sleeve 3, and the tilt detection device includes an infrared generator 17, a main infrared receiver 18 and a mounting seat 16. The infrared generator 17 is arranged at the bottom of the main control circuit board 51, the mounting seat 16 is arranged at the top of the battery 15, and the main infrared receiver 18 is arranged at the top of the mounting seat 16. The infrared generator 17 and the main infrared receiver 18 are both located on the axis of the protective sleeve 3. The infrared generator 17, the main infrared receiver 18 and the battery 15 are all electrically connected to the main control circuit board 51. The infrared generator 17 is used to emit infrared rays to the bottom of the accommodating space 12.

[0029] Several annular fixing grooves are provided on the top of the mounting seat 16, each with the main infrared receiver 18 as the center. Several offset infrared receivers 19 are provided in the annular fixing grooves. The offset infrared receivers 19 in each annular fixing groove are evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular fixing groove. The offset infrared receivers 19 are all electrically connected to the main control circuit board 51.

[0030] The control device 5 also includes an annular fixing frame 52, and the main control circuit board 51 is arranged in the annular fixing frame 52. The outer edge of the annular fixing frame 52 is inserted into the second annular groove 14. An annular magnet 53 is also provided on the outer peripheral wall of the annular fixing frame 52. The outer ring surfaces of the annular magnets 53 all have the same magnetic pole. The second annular groove 14 and the inner wall of the second annular groove 14 facing the notch of the second annular groove 14 are provided with a plurality of electromagnets 7. The electromagnets 7 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the second annular groove 14. The electromagnets 7 are electrically connected to the main control circuit board 51.

The main control circuit board 51 also includes a wireless communication module, which is used to transmit fault signals to a host computer.

[0032] A rigid base 1 is mounted on the bottom surface, ensuring the pile's connection to the ground, making the pile more stable and ensuring its vehicle-blocking effect. A protective sleeve 3 made of rubber and a connecting spring 2 mounted on top of the rigid base 1 soften the pile's outer surface. When a pedestrian collides with the pile, the connecting spring 2 deforms, reducing the reaction force on the pedestrian and protecting them from injury. Furthermore, the height ratio of the rigid base 1 to the connecting spring 2 is 60% to 70%. Pedestrians often collide with the pile first at their knees when walking. This height ratio ensures that the knees collide with the connecting spring 2 above the rigid base 1 when a pedestrian collides with the pile, better protecting the pedestrian's joints. When the pile hits a collision, the elastic protective portion 32 bends and deforms, causing the infrared light emitted by the infrared generator 17 to deflect and be received by the deflected infrared receiver 19. The main control circuit board 51 controls the alarm flasher and speaker to emit an alarm signal, alerting nearby vehicles and preventing children from playing on the pile, which could affect its lifespan. When the outermost offset infrared receiver 19 receives infrared light, it indicates that the elastic protective portion 32 has been deformed too much and may be damaged. The wireless communication module sends a fault signal to the host computer, allowing staff to repair or replace it in time to avoid affecting the passage of vehicles and pedestrians.

[0033] The above-described embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the above-described embodiments shall be included in the scope of protection of this technical solution.
