AI Technical Summary
During the collision process, existing road anti-collision guardrails rely on friction to absorb collision kinetic energy, have short damping time and poor deceleration effect, and cannot effectively protect the safety of vehicles and personnel.
An energy-absorbing and collision-proof mechanism is adopted, including a rubber strip and an internal adhesive layer on the outer surface of the protective plate. The friction between the slider and the damping pad, the friction of the stagnant ball, and the rotation of the wire rope and the storage roller are used to absorb and eliminate impact forces through the elastic force of the return spring and the pulling spring.
Effectively reduce the collision force, extend the damping time, improve the deceleration effect, and enhance the protection of vehicles and personnel.

[0038] Embodiment 4
[0039] On the basis of the first embodiment, in order to achieve anti-collision energy absorption between the two groups of guardrails 1, a support rod 15 is inserted into the interior of the support rod 3.

The multiple groups of support rods 15 are evenly and symmetrically distributed, and a first storage roller 16 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of each group of support rods 15. The size of the first storage roller 16 matches the size of the support rod 15, and a steel wire rope 17 is wound inside the first storage roller 16. The other end of the steel wire rope 17 is wound inside the first storage roller 16 provided at the end of the other group of guardrails 1. The two groups of guardrails 1 are connected by the two groups of first storage rollers 16 and the steel wire rope 17, and a second storage roller 18 is fixedly provided at one end of the first storage roller 16. The second storage roller 18 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the support rod 15, and a connecting rope 19 is wound inside the second storage roller 18. One end of the connecting rope 19 away from the second storage roller 18 is connected to a tension spring 20.

The slider 10 slides inside the connecting block 8. During the sliding process, the side wall of the slider 10 will rub against the damping pad 12, and the first ball 13 and the second ball 14 will rub against each other to resist the impact force. When the impact force cannot be resisted, the guardrail 1 will tilt. During the tilting process, the guardrail 1 pulls the steel wire rope 17 through the first storage roller 16. During the extension process of the steel wire rope 17, the first storage roller 16 is driven to rotate. The first storage roller 16 drives the second storage roller 18 to rotate. During the rotation of the second storage roller 18, the connecting rope 19 is wound up. The connecting rope 19 will pull the tension spring 20 upward again. Due to its own nature, the tension spring 20 will have a downward pulling force to pull the connecting rope 19, causing the second storage roller 18 to be unable to rotate and wind up, thereby offsetting or absorbing the impact force again.
