Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bridge guardrails, and in particular relates to a bridge guardrail with curved columns. Background Art
[0002] Bridges generally refer to structures built on rivers, lakes, and seas to allow vehicles and pedestrians to pass smoothly. In order to adapt to the modern high-speed development of the transportation industry, bridges are also extended to buildings that cross mountain streams, poor geology, or meet other traffic needs to make passage more convenient. Bridge guardrails refer to guardrails installed on bridges. Their purpose is to prevent out-of-control vehicles from going over the bridge. They have the function of preventing vehicles from breaking through, passing under, or climbing over the bridge, as well as beautifying the bridge building.
[0003] The types of bridge guardrails are generally divided into concrete guardrails, metal beam-column guardrails and combined guardrails. Concrete guardrails and combined guardrails are too rigid and have poor buffering effects. In the event of an accident, they are likely to cause damage to the main body of the bridge, serious damage to vehicles, and increased injuries to personnel. The metal beam-column guardrail structure is mainly composed of columns installed on the bridge deck and transverse metal beams for connecting the columns. For example, the authorization announcement number CN212641196U discloses a bridge metal column guardrail, including a bottom plate, a column fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate, and the column including a first support plate and a second support plate, the first support plate is located on one side of the second support plate, the top of the first support plate and the second support plate are both fixedly connected to a top rod, and the inner sides of the first support plate and the second support plate are both fixedly connected to a first reinforcing rib, a second reinforcing rib and a third reinforcing rib. The bottom plate, the first support plate, the second support plate, the top rod, the first reinforcing rib, the second reinforcing rib, the third reinforcing rib, the upper beam, the middle beam and the bottom beam are arranged to achieve rapid installation of the guardrail structure, and the guardrail structure itself has a good anti-collision effect. However, when the structure is in use, there are still problems such as:
[0004] 1. Although the structure has a certain anti-collision effect, its anti-collision effect mainly depends on the strength of the rear column and the tension between the adjacent support plates. There is no corresponding energy absorption and buffer structure between the column and the support plate. Therefore, when the guardrail structure is subjected to external force, it is easy to directly cause the rigidity of the column or the support plate to be damaged under the impact of the external force, and the column needs to be replaced or repaired, resulting in high maintenance costs and troublesome maintenance process;
[0005] 2. The above structure does not have a corresponding structure at the bottom of the column to prevent the leaking bolts from scratching the car tires. Therefore, when a vehicle collision occurs, the bolts are likely to scratch the tires and get in the way, increasing the severity of the accident.
[0006] 3. The above-mentioned column structure is a straight column, which has poor aesthetics and cannot achieve a streamlined shape for the bridge guardrail structure, thus affecting the overall aesthetics of the bridge guardrail;
[0007] Therefore, the utility model proposes a bridge guardrail with curved columns to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. Utility Model Content
[0008] In view of this, the main purpose of the utility model is to provide a bridge guardrail with curved columns.

[0010] A bridge guardrail with curved columns, comprising
[0011] Column bases, precast on both sides of the bridge;
[0012] The columns are arranged on both sides of the bridge through column bases, and bolt guards are arranged at the bottoms of the columns;
[0013] A circular crossbeam, set on top of the columns;
[0014] The energy absorbing connection assembly is arranged on the side of the column close to the bridge deck and is detachably connected to the rectangular cross beam;
[0015] A rectangular beam that is horizontally set between adjacent columns.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the column is a curved structure, including a column base plate, and an outer curved plate arranged on the column base plate; an inner curved plate is arranged on the upper side of the column base plate close to the bridge deck, a connecting beam is arranged on the outer curved plate and the inner curved plate bracket, and a plurality of stiffening plates are arranged on the connecting beam, and the stiffening plates are also connected to the outer curved plate and the inner curved plate.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of connection holes are provided on the side of the column base plate to connect to the bolt guard cover. The bolt guard cover is a shapeable plate-like structure, and the upper side plate of the bolt guard cover is bent inward and abuts against the outer curved plate and the outer wall of the connecting beam, and the bolt guard cover forms an observation port on the side where the outer curved plate is located.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the column bottom plate is a wedge-shaped steel plate, and the thickness of the steel plate on the side of the column bottom plate close to the bridge deck is greater than the thickness of the steel plate on the side away from the bridge deck.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the energy absorbing connection assembly is arranged on the side of the inner curved plate adjacent to the road surface where the stiffening plate is located, and includes
[0020] The energy absorption box is a box-shaped structure arranged on the side of the stiffening plate close to the road surface, and connecting steel plates connected to the rectangular beams are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer end of the energy absorption box;
[0021] The resistance change plates are symmetrically arranged inside the energy absorption box, and an energy absorption block is also arranged between the two symmetrically arranged resistance change plates.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting steel plate is a corrugated steel plate that matches the side wall steel plate of the energy absorption box.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the energy absorbing block is made of rubber material.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the column base comprises
[0025] Upper connecting plate;
[0026] A lower connecting plate is arranged at the lower side of the upper connecting plate and connected to the upper connecting plate through a middle connecting column;
[0027] If there are embedded steel bars, they shall be set on the lower side of the lower connecting plate.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the embedded steel bars are threaded steel bars.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the upper side surface of the lower connecting plate is a trapezoidal structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a bridge guardrail with curved columns, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0031] 1. Through the setting of the energy-absorbing connection component, when the rectangular crossbeam is hit by an external impact, it first acts on the energy-absorbing box, and the side wall of the energy-absorbing box is a corrugated structure, which plays an energy-absorbing role through the spring-like self-buffering effect when it is hit; and when the elastic effect of the energy-absorbing box is not enough to completely offset the impact force, the energy-absorbing box undergoes plastic deformation to offset the energy. At the same time, after the allowable deformation value of the energy-absorbing box reaches the limit, the side wall of the energy-absorbing box acts on the resistance plate to squeeze the resistance plate to deform. In the process of deformation of the resistance plate, the rubber energy-absorbing block is used to absorb the energy, so as to play a buffering and energy-absorbing role through the two-layer energy-absorbing effect, protect the overall structure, effectively ensure the safety of the structure, and avoid the problem that the rigidity of the column or the support plate is easily directly damaged when the structure is hit;
[0032] 2. The bolt protection cover can effectively prevent the bolts from scratching the tires and getting in the way when a vehicle collision occurs, thereby increasing the severity of the accident;
