Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of guardrail installation technology, specifically to an auxiliary support device for raising the overall height of a highway corrugated guardrail. Background Technology

[0002] Corrugated beam guardrails are a common traffic safety facility, often referred to as corrugated beam guardrails, and are a prevalent type of highway safety protection equipment. Their primary function is to reduce losses and injuries caused by traffic accidents by blocking and guiding vehicles that have strayed onto the road. These guardrails possess good elasticity and impact resistance, effectively absorbing impact force, mitigating the impact of vehicle collisions, and changing the direction of vehicle travel to minimize the occurrence of serious accidents. However, due to uneven or irregular ground surfaces, and the increase in road height after maintenance, the height of the guardrails often needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0003] In existing technologies, the adjustment of guardrail height is usually done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses certain safety risks. Therefore, to simplify the installation process and improve work efficiency and safety, an auxiliary support device for raising the overall height of highway corrugated guardrails is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an auxiliary support device for raising the overall height of highway corrugated guardrails, solving the problems of time-consuming and labor-intensive guardrail height adjustment and certain safety risks in existing technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary support device for raising the overall height of a highway corrugated guardrail, comprising a horizontal tube and three support columns. Each of the three support columns has a height adjustment component inside. The three height adjustment components are staggered on the outer wall of the horizontal tube. Each of the three support columns has an installation component on its outer wall. Each installation component on one side has an L-shaped seat on its outer wall. Each of the other installation components on its outer wall has two movable rods. The inner walls of two movable rods are slidably connected to moving rods. The outer walls of both movable rods and moving rods have threaded holes. One set of threaded holes has a threaded connection to the inner wall of one set of threaded holes. The bottoms of both moving rods are fixedly connected to hooks.

[0006] Preferably, each height adjustment component includes a motor, the bottom of each motor is fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the support column, the drive end of each motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod, the inner walls of the three support columns are slidably connected to a connecting rod, each connecting rod has a threaded groove, the outer wall of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove, the inner walls of the three support columns have two sliding grooves, the bottom end of the outer wall of each connecting rod is fixedly connected to two sliders, and the outer wall of each slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0007] Preferably, the installation assembly includes a movable sleeve, the inner wall of each movable sleeve being slidably connected to the outer wall of the support column, and both the connecting rod and the outer wall of the support column having a threaded hole, and a tightening bolt being threadedly connected to the inner wall of a set of threaded holes.

[0008] Preferably, the outer walls of the two movable sleeves on the same side are respectively rotatably connected to a connecting rod and a sleeve, and the outer wall of the sleeve is fixedly connected to a support assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the support assembly includes a mounting frame, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve, a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame, movable blocks are threadedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw, movable rods are rotatably connected to the outer walls of the two movable blocks, a stop block is rotatably connected to the other end of the two movable blocks, and a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the horizontal tube is fitted with a sling, and the bottom end of the sling is fixedly connected to a hook.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the abutment block is provided with a silicone anti-slip pad.

[0012] Preferably, the top ends of the two movable rods are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the movable sleeve.

[0013] Working Principle: When raising the height of a highway corrugated guardrail, the three legs of the device can be unfolded in a triangle. The height of the three legs is then adjusted according to the terrain. The motor is started, driving the threaded rod to rotate, causing the connecting rod to move up and down on the inner wall of the support column. Simultaneously, the slider slides on the inner wall of the groove, adjusting the length of the three legs. The connecting rod is then installed inside the sleeve, allowing the guardrail to be disassembled from the column. Depending on the height of the highway corrugated guardrail, loosen the first tightening bolt to release the fixing of the movable sleeve to the outer wall of the support column. Then, move the movable sleeve to the outer wall of the support column. Next, tighten the first tightening bolt to the new set of threaded holes on the inner wall. Then, loosen the first tightening bolt to release the fixing of the movable rod to the inner wall of the movable rod. Finally, move the movable rod to make the hook... Hook the L-shaped seat onto the outside, then tighten the inner wall of the new set of threaded holes. Turn the handle to rotate the double-sided screw. The rotation of the double-sided screw causes the moving blocks on both sides to move relative to each other or in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the tilt angle between the two moving rods and moving the stop block. This causes the stop block to push the disassembled fence panel away from the support post, making it easier for the installer to install the additional support post on the original post. Then, turn the handle in the opposite direction to control the two moving blocks to move to the opposite side, causing the stop block to slowly approach the installation frame, thereby releasing the support for the fence panel. This allows the installer to connect and fix the fence panel to the support post. Then, adjust the length of the sling according to the height of the fence, and hook the hook onto the hole on the fence panel to achieve the purpose of assisting in raising the height of the fence.

[0014] This invention provides an auxiliary support device for raising the overall height of a highway corrugated guardrail. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The present invention, through the height adjustment component, enables the device to adapt to different terrains, effectively improving the flexibility and adaptability of the device, solving the problem of poor stability caused by uneven ground, and reducing the risk of accidents.

[0016] 2. Through the cooperation of components such as installation components and support components, this invention enables the device to assist installers in separating the fence panels and posts, thereby assisting installers in raising the height of the guardrail. This simplifies the complexity of traditional manual operations, allowing installers to complete the installation and height adjustment of the guardrail more quickly and easily, reducing physical burden during work and improving work comfort.

[0017] 3. By designing the three legs of the device as a tripod, the present invention provides stability to the device, enabling it to stand steadily on uneven or irregular ground. This makes it widely applicable to outdoor roads with complex terrain, reducing swaying and tilting during use. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described 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.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 -Appendix Figure 5This invention provides an auxiliary support device for raising the overall height of a highway corrugated guardrail, comprising a horizontal tube 1 and three support columns 2. Each of the three support columns 2 is equipped with a height adjustment component, which is staggered on the outer wall of the horizontal tube 1. Each of the three support columns 2 is equipped with an installation component on its outer wall. Each installation component on one side is equipped with an L-shaped seat 17, and each of the other sides of the installation component is equipped with a movable rod 12. The inner walls of the two movable rods 12 are slidably connected to a moving rod 13. The outer walls of the two movable rods 12 and the moving rod 13 are provided with threaded holes 14. One set of threaded holes 14 is threaded with a tightening bolt 15. The bottom of each moving rod 13 is fixedly connected with a hook 16.

[0028] Specifically, after unfolding the device, and based on the distance between the three legs, loosen and tighten bolt 15 to pull the moving rod 13 out from inside the movable rod 12. Then, hook the hook 16 onto the outside of the L-shaped seat 17, and then rotate and tighten bolt 15 again to allow it to enter the inner wall of a new set of threaded holes 14. This further improves the stability of the device during use. Furthermore, by designing the three legs of the device as tripods, stability is provided, allowing the device to stand stably on uneven or irregular ground. This makes it widely applicable to outdoor roads with complex terrain, reducing swaying and tilting during use.

[0029] Please see the appendix Figure 4 Each height adjustment component includes a motor 3. The bottom of each motor 3 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the support column 2. A threaded rod 4 is fixedly connected to the drive end of each motor 3. A connecting rod 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each of the three support columns 2. Each connecting rod 5 has a threaded groove 6. The outer wall of the threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove 6. Two sliding grooves 7 are opened on the inner wall of each of the three support columns 2. Two sliders 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of each connecting rod 5. The outer wall of each slider 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 7.

[0030] Specifically, when using this device, the lengths of the three legs can be adjusted according to the terrain, allowing the device to adapt to different terrains. By starting the motor 3, the threaded rod 4 is driven to rotate, which in turn causes the connecting rod 5 to move up and down on the inner wall of the support column 2. At the same time, the slider 8 moves on the inner wall of the slide groove 7, thereby adjusting the lengths of the three legs on the device. This effectively improves the flexibility and adaptability of the device, solves the problem of poor stability caused by uneven ground, and reduces the risk of accidents.

[0031] Please see the appendix Figure 6The installation components include movable sleeves 9, the inner wall of each movable sleeve 9 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support column 2, and threaded holes 10 are provided on the outer wall of both the connecting rod 5 and the support column 2. Tightening bolts 11 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of a set of threaded holes 10.

[0032] Specifically, based on the height of the highway corrugated guardrail, loosen the tightening bolt 11, release the fixing of the movable sleeve 9 on the outer wall of the support column 2, then move the movable sleeve 9 to the height of the outer wall of the support column 2, and then tighten the tightening bolt 11 again to the inner wall of the new set of threaded holes 10.

[0033] On the same side, the outer walls of the two movable sleeves 9 are respectively rotatably connected to the connecting rod 18 and the sleeve 19, and the outer wall of the sleeve 19 is fixedly connected to the support assembly.

[0034] Specifically, through the cooperation of the connecting rod 18 and the sleeve 19, the support assembly, in conjunction with the hooks 16 on both sides, the movable rod 12 and the moving rod 13, under the opposing forces of the two sides, makes the device more stable when separating the fence panel and the post.

[0035] Please see the appendix Figure 3 The support assembly includes a mounting frame 20, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 19. A two-way lead screw 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 20. Moving blocks 22 are threadedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the two-way lead screw 21. Movable rods 23 are rotatably connected to the outer walls of the two moving blocks 22. A stop block 24 is rotatably connected to the other end of the two moving blocks 22. A handle 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving block 22.

[0036] Specifically, rotating handle 27 causes the bidirectional lead screw 21 to rotate. Driven by the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 21, the two moving blocks 22 on either side move relative to or in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the tilt angle between the two movable rods 23. This causes the abutment block 24 to move, pushing the disassembled fence panel away from the support post. This facilitates the installer installing the additional support post onto the original post. Then, rotating handle 27 in the opposite direction controls the two moving blocks 22 to move towards the opposite side, causing the abutment block 24 to slowly approach the mounting frame 20. This releases the support on the fence panel, allowing the installer to connect and fix the fence panel to the support post 2. This assists the installer in raising the fence height, simplifying the complexity of traditional manual operations. It allows installers to complete fence installation and height adjustment more quickly and easily, reducing physical strain and improving work comfort.

[0037] Please see the appendix Figure 1 The outer wall of the horizontal tube 1 is fitted with a sling 25, and the bottom end of the sling 25 is fixedly connected to a hook 26.

[0038] Specifically, the length of the sling 25 is adjusted according to the height of the guardrail, and then the hook 26 is hooked onto the hole on the guardrail panel to assist in raising the height of the guardrail.

[0039] The outer wall of the abutment block 24 is equipped with a silicone anti-slip pad.

[0040] Specifically, the silicone anti-slip mat ensures that the support components can stably separate the fence panel from the post when in use.

[0041] The top ends of the two movable rods 12 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the movable sleeve 9.

[0042] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
