[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-6 This invention provides a technical solution: a crash-resistant movable guardrail with a gate-type quick-opening function, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the system includes a first guardrail 1, a first movable plate 12, a limiting block 13, a movable plate 16, a pin 17, a protruding plate 20, and a second movable plate 21. Mounting seats 3 are fixed to the bottom of both the first guardrail 1 and the second guardrail 2. One side of the first guardrail 1 and one side of the second guardrail 2 are connected to a third guardrail 6 via a connecting shaft 4. Incomplete gears 5 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the connecting shaft 4. The third guardrail 6 is fixed to the connecting shaft 4 by fixing bolts 7. A fourth guardrail 8 is inserted inside the third guardrail 6. The fourth guardrail 8 and the third guardrail 6 form a telescopic structure, and the fourth guardrail 8 is fixed to the third guardrail 6 by a stop rod 9. The fourth guardrail 8 can extend and retract within the third guardrail 6, allowing for flexible adjustment of the distance between the first guardrail 1 and the second guardrail 2 according to actual conditions. After adjustment, the fourth guardrail 8 can be secured by the stop rod 9.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a stop block 10 is fixed on one side of the first guardrail 1 and one side of the second guardrail 2. The stop block 10 blocks the third guardrail 6, causing the third guardrail 6 to rotate backward and push open.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an electric opening and closing mechanism 11 is fixed to the rear side of the first guardrail 1 and the rear side of the second guardrail 2. The electric opening and closing mechanism 11 includes a motor 1101, which is fixed to the rear side of the first guardrail 1 and the rear side of the second guardrail 2. The top of the motor 1101 is connected to the first sprocket 1102, and the inner side of the first sprocket 1102 is meshed with the second sprocket 1103. The second sprocket 1103 is fixed to the outer side of the rotating shaft 1104, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 1104 are symmetrically fixed with third sprockets 1106. The first sprocket 1102 can rotate under the action of the motor 1101, thereby driving the second sprocket 1103 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 1104 and the third sprocket 1106 to rotate.

[0038] Furthermore, support blocks 1105 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the rear end face of the first guardrail 1 and both sides of the rear end face of the second guardrail 2. The third spur gear 1106 is rotatably connected inside the support block 1105. The support block 1105 on the first guardrail 1 plays a supporting and limiting role for the first moving plate 12.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first movable plate 12 passes through the electric opening and closing mechanism 11 on the first guardrail 1, and the first movable plate 12 passes through the support block 1105 on the first guardrail 1. The rear end face of the first movable plate 12 is provided with a first toothed groove 14. The third sprocket 1106 in the support block 1105 on the first guardrail 1 is meshed with the first toothed groove 14. The limiting block 13 is fixed to the rear side of one of the third guardrails 6, and the limiting block 13 is slidably connected to the first movable plate 12. When the third sprocket 1106 in the support block 1105 on the first guardrail 1 rotates, it will drive the first movable plate 12 to move left and right. At this time, the limiting block 13 slides on the first movable plate 12, which facilitates the limiting function.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the front end face of the first movable plate 12 is fixed with a first protruding tooth 15. The movable plate 16 is connected to one of the fourth guardrails 8 through a compression spring 18. A pin 17 is fixed on one side of the movable plate 16. The protruding plate 20 is fixed to the rear side of the other fourth guardrail 8. The pin 17 passes through one of the fourth guardrails 8 and is engaged with the protruding plate 20. The movable plate 16 is in close contact with the first movable plate 12. The pins 17 are evenly distributed on the movable plate 16. A slot 19 is opened on one side of the protruding plate 20. The pins 17 are engaged in the slot 19. The two fourth guardrails 8 are initially locked together by the action of the slot 19. When the first movable plate 12 moves to the left, the pin 17 will move to the left and leave the slot 19 under the support of the compression spring 18, making it easy to unlock the two fourth guardrails 8.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second movable plate 21 passes through the electric opening and closing mechanism 11 on the second guardrail 2, and the second movable plate 21 passes through the support block 1105 on the second guardrail 2. The rear end face of the second movable plate 21 is provided with a second toothed groove 22. The third spur gear 1106 in the support block 1105 on the second guardrail 2 is meshed and connected in the second toothed groove 22. The support block 1105 on the second guardrail 2 plays a supporting and limiting role for the second movable plate 21. When the third spur gear 1106 in the support block 1105 on the second guardrail 2 rotates, it will drive the second movable plate 21 to move left and right.

[0042] As shown in the figure Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front end face of the second movable plate 21 is fixed with a second protruding tooth 23. The incomplete gear 5 on the connecting shaft 4 on the second guardrail 2 is meshed with the second protruding tooth 23. When the second movable plate 21 moves left and right, it will drive the corresponding incomplete gear 5 to rotate, and the corresponding connecting shaft 4 will rotate accordingly, thereby driving the corresponding third guardrail 6 to rotate.

[0043] Working principle: When using this anti-collision movable guardrail with a gate-type quick-opening function, first install the first guardrail 1 and the second guardrail 2 in the designated positions, then pull out the two fourth guardrails 8 and close them together. Next, use the stop bar 9 to press and fix the fourth guardrails 8 in place. The first sprocket 1102 on the left rotates, and the first moving plate 12 moves to the right, thereby pressing the movable plate 16 to move to the right. The pin 17 moves accordingly and inserts into the slot 19, locking the two fourth guardrails 8 together. The rotation of the first sprocket 1102 drives the second sprocket 1103, the rotating shaft 1104, and... When the third sprocket 1106 rotates, the second sprocket 1103 on the left rotates, which can drive the first moving plate 12 to move. When the second sprocket 1103 on the right rotates, it can drive the second moving plate 21 to move. After the first moving plate 12 moves to the left and the first convex tooth 15 meshes with the corresponding incomplete gear 5, the second moving plate 21 begins to move to the right. The third guardrail 6 and the fourth guardrail 8 rotate as a whole and open. After repeating the above operation in reverse, the third guardrail 6 and the fourth guardrail 8 can be closed. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
