The locking assembly 5 is provided in the second area 2022, and the third area 2023 is a single-sided open shape. One side of the guardrail plate 3 is clamped in the third area 2023. In order to ensure that the guardrail plate 3 does not separate from the sliding column 201, the guardrail plate 3 is interference fit in the third area 2023. Similarly, this structure is provided on the support column 101 for installing the guardrail plate 3 on the support column 101.

[0031] The gas spring 4 includes a cylinder jacket 41 fixedly arranged in the first area 2011, and a cylinder inner rod 42 is arranged in the cylinder jacket 41. The end of the cylinder inner rod 42 is fixed on the base plate 6. In the initial state, the cylinder inner rod 42 is fully extended on the cylinder jacket 41.

[0032] The first locking member 51 and the second locking member 52 cooperate with each other so that when the movable guardrail 2 and the fixed guardrail 1 are completely overlapped, they are locked.

[0033] The first locking member 51 includes a fixing block 5101 located at the bottom and used to fix the first locking member 51 in the second area 2022. A self-locking pin 5102 is provided directly below the fixing block 5101. The upper end of the self-locking pin 5102 is embedded in the fixing block 5101. A self-locking rotating wheel 5103 that can rotate freely on the self-locking pin 5102 is provided at the lower end of the self-locking pin 5102. Guide blocks 5104 are evenly provided on the outer ring wall of the self-locking rotating wheel 5103. The guide block 5104 is triangular in shape, and its triangular guide end is a circumferential guide. In order to prevent the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 from falling off, an annular groove 5105 is provided on the self-locking pin 5102 and below the self-locking rotating wheel 5103. An annular retaining ring 5106 with a diameter larger than that of the self-locking pin 5102 is provided in the annular groove 5105. The self-locking rotating wheel 5103 is placed on the annular retaining ring 5106, and a spring 5107 is provided between the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 and the fixed block 5101.

[0034] A through straight hole is provided on the base plate 6, and the second locking member 52 is embedded in and fixed in the straight hole. The second locking member 52 includes a self-locking fixing sleeve 5201 and a self-locking guide ring 5205. Blocks 5202 are evenly arranged in a ring shape on the upper end of the inner wall of the self-locking fixing sleeve 5201. A guide edge 5203 is provided on the upper part of the block 5202, and a locking tooth 5204 is provided on the lower part. Guide teeth 5206 are provided on the upper edge of the self-locking guide ring 5205, and the number of the guide teeth 5206 is twice the number of the block 5202.

[0035] The function of the spring 5107 is to apply a downward force to the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 to prevent the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 from rotating erroneously when it is not guided. If the spring 5107 is not installed, after the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 passes through the block 5202, the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 may directly enter the determined guide tooth 5206 without being guided, thereby failing to form a locked state.

[0036] The locking teeth 5204 at the lower portion of the locking block 5202 and the guide teeth 5206 are symmetrical in shape, and the two are staggered, with the staggered angle being the spacing of half a tooth.

[0037] In order to ensure that the locking teeth 5204 and the guide teeth 5206 always maintain a half-tooth spacing, a guide structure is provided between the self-locking fixing sleeve 5201 and the self-locking guide ring 5205. The guide structure includes a positioning ridge 5207 provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the self-locking fixing sleeve 5201 and a positioning groove 5208 provided on the outer wall of the self-locking guide ring 5205. Furthermore, the self-locking fixing sleeve 5201 and the self-locking guide ring 5205 are transitionally matched.

[0038] The fixing block 5101 is detachably arranged on the sliding column 201, and the self-locking pin 5102 is detachably arranged on the fixing block 5101. Specifically, a first positioning hole 5108 is arranged on the upper part of the fixing block 5101 and at the corresponding position of the second area 2022 of the sliding column 201, and is located in the first direction, and a first locking pin 5109 is arranged in the positioning hole.

[0039] A second positioning hole 5110 is provided at the lower part of the fixing block 5101 and the upper part of the self-locking pin 5102 and is located in the second direction. The first direction and the second direction are positive directions and are perpendicular to each other. A second locking pin 5111 is provided in the second positioning hole 5110.

[0040] The first locking pin 5109 and the second locking pin 5111 are transitionally fitted in the first positioning hole 5108 and the second positioning hole 5110 .

[0041] In order to ensure that the bottom plate 6 can be fixed on the support column 101 , a fastener 7 is provided on the bottom plate 6 and is screwed in from the bottom plate 6 toward the support column 101 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the guardrail is L-shaped, and the locking components 5 are installed at both ends of the L-shape. If it is a straight-line guardrail, the locking components 5 are also provided in two groups and located on both sides.

[0043] The working process of the present invention is as follows: in the initial state, the movable guardrail 2 is in a stretched state on the fixed guardrail 1, and the movable guardrail 2 is pressed down at the upper edge of the movable guardrail 2. When the movable guardrail 2 is pressed down to the bottom of the fixed guardrail 1, first, the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 enters the self-locking fixed sleeve 5201 from top to bottom, and the guide block 5104 on the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 contacts the guide edge 5203 on the upper part of the clamping block 5202. Then, the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 is guided by the guide edge 5203 to rotate and enter the gap between the two adjacent groups of the clamping blocks 5202. This gap matches the width of the clamping block 5202. After sliding down along this gap, the lower end of the triangular side of the guide block 5104 contacts the guide tooth 5206, causing the guide block 5104 to rotate and move along the guide tooth 5206. 06 to the bottom of the tooth. When the movable guardrail 2 is released and pressed, the gas spring 4 is used to make the movable guardrail 2 rebound. At this time, the movable guardrail 2 drives the self-locking rotating wheel 5103 to move upward, and the upper end of the triangular edge of the guide block 5104 contacts the edge of the tooth 5204 at the lower part of the clamping block 5202, so that the guide block 5104 rotates again and moves along the clamping tooth 5204. The upper end of the triangular edge of the guide block 5104 completely enters the clamping tooth 5204. At this time, the movable guardrail 2 forms a locked state on the fixed guardrail 1. When unlocking, the movable guardrail 2 is pressed again, and the lower end of the triangular edge of the guide block 5104 cooperates with the guide tooth 5206 again. After releasing the pressing, the guide block 5104 rotates, and the guide block 5104 moves upward along the gap between the clamping blocks 5202, disengages from the fixed guide sleeve, and the movable guardrail 2 is reset.
