[0019] Figure 2 is a side view of the highway anti-collision guardrail structure of the present utility model.

[0021] 1 steel wire rope, 2 U-bolt, 3 nut, 4 limiting post, 5 column, 6 protection plate, 7 tightening device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present utility model provides a highway anti-collision guardrail structure, including a plurality of columns 5, protection plates 6 and reinforcement structures.

[0023] Multiple of the columns 5 are all connected to the highway subgrade. The column 5 can adopt a round tube or square tube structure, and its outer diameter is set between 15 - 20 cm.

[0024] The protection plate 6 extends horizontally, and the protection plate 6 is connected to multiple of the columns 5. The longitudinal section of the protection plate 6 is corrugated, and the front of the protection plate 6 has an extension groove extending along the length direction of the protection plate 6.

[0025] The reinforcement structure includes a steel wire rope 1, a connecting piece, and a limiting piece. Among them, the column 5 and the protection plate 6 are fixedly connected through the connecting piece. Specifically, the connecting piece includes a U - shaped bolt 2 and a nut 3. The threaded end of the U - shaped bolt 2 sequentially penetrates through the protection plate 6 and the column 5 and is connected to the nut 3 outside the column 5, thereby connecting the column 5 and the protection plate 6.

[0026] The bent end of the U - shaped bolt 2 is spaced from the protection plate 6, that is, the bent end of the U - shaped bolt 2 protrudes from the front side of the protection plate 6 to form a through - hole therebetween. The steel wire rope 1 is connected to the protection plate 6 through the through - hole. It should be noted that the head and tail ends of the steel wire rope 1 can be directly fixed to the bent end of the U - shaped bolt 2, and the steel wire rope 1 is in a tensioned state. When a vehicle collides with the guardrail, the steel wire rope 1 can reduce the impact of the vehicle on the protection plate 6, and can prevent the protection plate 6 from being damaged or broken to the greatest extent, resulting in the vehicle leaving the highway, and avoid the occurrence of secondary accidents.

[0027] The limiting piece includes two limiting columns 4. The two limiting columns 4 are respectively fixed on the steel wire rope 1 on both sides of the U - shaped bolt 2. The outer diameter of the limiting column 4 is larger than the inner diameter of the through - hole to limit a predetermined length of the steel wire rope 1 between adjacent limiting pieces.

[0028] It can be understood that when a vehicle collides with the steel wire rope 1, the collision point is impacted, causing the steel wire rope 1 to be pulled to both sides. However, due to the limiting piece being provided on the steel wire rope 1 and the limiting piece coming into contact with the U - shaped bolt 2, only the steel wire rope 1 between adjacent limiting pieces can be stretched, that is, the steel wire rope 1 generates an appropriate amount of deformation. At this time, the steel wire rope 1 can both restrain the vehicle and effectively absorb the impact force of the vehicle, which is beneficial to preventing damage to the reinforcement structure. If the limiting piece is not provided, after the vehicle impacts the steel wire rope 1, the entire steel wire rope 1 will be stretched, generating a large amount of deformation, and then the steel wire rope 1 cannot restrain the vehicle, and the vehicle may leave the highway.

[0029] Optionally, the distance between the two limit posts 4 is set to 4 - 10 cm. For example, the distance between the two limit posts 4 is 8 cm. By setting the distance between the limit posts 4, the deformation of the steel wire rope 1 can be restricted, preventing excessive deformation and ensuring that the vehicle can be restrained.

[0030] In one embodiment, the limit post 4 is a rubber post, and a connection hole penetrating along the axial direction is provided on the limit post 4. The limit post 4 is connected to the steel wire rope 1 through the connection hole. The rubber post can buffer the steel wire rope 1 to effectively absorb the impact force of the vehicle. Specifically, the limit post 4 is locked on the steel wire rope 1 by wire or hoop, facilitating the fixation of the limit post 4 on the steel wire rope 1.

[0031] Optionally, the length of the limit post 4 is set between 3 - 8 cm, and the outer diameter of the limit post 4 is 3 - 6 cm, endowing the limit post 4 with certain structural strength to avoid damage due to extrusion. For example, the length of the limit post 4 is 8 cm and the outer diameter is 6 cm.

[0032] Optionally, the steel wire rope 1 on the protective plate 6 is composed of multiple short steel wire ropes 1 connected together. The adjacent short steel wire ropes 1 are connected by a tightener 7, facilitating the adjustment of the tension of the steel wire rope 1. Specifically, the tightener 7 can be a flower basket wire tightener 7.

[0033] Optionally, the steel wire rope 1 is located in the extension groove on the front side of the protective plate 6 to make the structure more reasonable. In addition, a fluorescent sticker is pasted on the outside of the steel wire rope 1, increasing the visibility of the steel wire rope 1 during night driving and enhancing safety.

[0034] Specifically, the steel wire rope 1 is a three-strand steel wire rope 1, and the outer diameter of the steel wire rope 1 is set between 20 - 40 mm. For example, the outer diameter of the steel wire rope 1 is 30 mm, endowing it with certain structural strength and increasing its stability.

[0035] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
