Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of corrugated beam guardrails, in particular to a device for fixing the outward-extended end of a cross-ditch guardrail. Background Art

[0002] A corrugated guardrail is a type of guardrail designed for highway collision prevention. It utilizes deformation in the foundation, columns, and beams to absorb collision energy and force out-of-control vehicles to change direction and return to their normal course, preventing them from running off the road. This protects vehicles and passengers and minimizes damage caused by accidents. Corrugated guardrails are categorized by crashworthiness level, including C, B, A, and Am. Each specification features different guardrail panel dimensions, column specifications, and accessories.

[0003] Application No.: 2022220330362 discloses a truss-type corrugated beam guardrail structure. By setting a combination of truss columns, cantilever trusses spanning the roadside drainage ditch, steel pipes and barrier blocks, it is equivalent to the columns being able to retreat a certain distance when encountering areas such as ditches where piles cannot be driven, so that the columns can safely fall within the area where piles can be driven. It is suitable for situations where even in situations where roadside drainage ditch areas where piles cannot be driven, the ends of the corrugated beam guardrails can be arranged into trumpet-shaped induction entrances with a certain slope, thereby eliminating the safety hazards of the ends of the corrugated beam guardrails and thus improving the protective function of the guardrail.

[0004] The above technical solution solves the problem of installation of drainage ditch guardrails, but the following problems still exist: 1. The installation is not convenient enough. The upper chord and the lower chord are connected to the truss columns by bolts. During the installation process, the ends of the corrugated beam guardrail are extended outward at a certain slope. The angle between the truss column and the upper chord and the lower chord needs to be adjusted according to the slope. The screw holes need to be kept perpendicular to the ditch to ensure that the truss column and the upper chord and the lower chord are installed correctly. Once the position of the truss column screw holes is not ideal, it is difficult to adjust them again; 2. When a vehicle collides with the corrugated beam guardrail, the collision energy absorption effect is poor, and there is a lack of protection measures for vehicles and passengers; 3. Maintenance is difficult. There are many parts in the above technical solution, and the overall strength is average. After a collision, most parts will be deformed, and replacement is difficult, which increases maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a device for fixing the outward end of a cross-ditch guardrail, which solves the problems of difficult installation, poor energy absorption effect, difficult maintenance and high maintenance cost of existing cross-ditch guardrail outward end fixing devices.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a device for fixing the outward end of a cross-ditch guardrail, comprising a column, a truss, a hoop, and a bracket. One side of the truss is detachably connected to the bracket, and the other side is fixedly connected to the hoop. The bracket is used to connect the corrugated beam guardrail, and the hoop is detachably connected to the column.

[0007] Preferably, the truss main frame is a right-angled trapezoid, with reinforcing beams between the two waists and the upper and lower bottoms, the upper bottom is detachably connected to the bracket, and the lower bottom is welded with a hoop.

[0008] Preferably, the truss is made of a square tube with a length of 70 mm, a width of 50 mm and a wall thickness of 4 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the column is made of a round tube with a diameter of 140 mm and a wall thickness of 4.5 mm.

[0010] Preferably, the lower part of the front end of the bracket has a straight flange and the upper part has an oblique flange. There are waist-shaped holes on the straight flange and the oblique flange, and bolts are used to pass through the waist-shaped holes to connect with the corrugated beam guardrail. The rear end of the bracket has a groove, and there is a waist-shaped hole perpendicular to the direction of the groove. The groove fits with the upper bottom of the truss and is connected by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the size of the waist-shaped hole is 18mm*22mm.

[0012] Preferably, the columns, trusses and clamps are made of ordinary carbon structural steel.

[0013] Preferably, the embedding depth of the column is not less than 1100 mm.

[0014] Preferably, the cross section of the bracket is in a concave shape and is formed by bending and welding a steel plate with a wall thickness of 4 mm.

[0015] The principle of the utility model: In order to solve the problem of difficulty in installing the fixing device of the outward-extending end of the cross-ditch guardrail, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions to solve the above problems. The utility model is composed of four parts: column, truss, hoop and bracket. Each part is formed separately, wherein the truss and the hoop are welded and formed, and the hoop and the column can be connected at any angle, solving the limitation of the existing technology that the position of the screw hole of the truss column needs to be perpendicular to the ditch, reducing the difficulty of installation and improving the efficiency of installation. The components are connected by bolts and waist-shaped holes, with scientific redundancy, which is convenient for operators to adjust according to the actual situation. According to the field conditions, the connection dimensions of the components are adjusted to further improve the installation efficiency. The utility model adopts the method of deformation absorption of energy during collision by the bracket, which reduces the transmission of collision energy to vehicles and personnel and reduces economic losses. The cross section of the bracket is "concave". Compared with other components, the deformation of this component is larger during collision and has the conditions for deformation absorption. The utility model has fewer components, and the columns, trusses and hoop structures are higher in strength. The deformation after collision is small. Only the bracket has a large deformation and needs to be replaced after collision. The components are connected by bolts, which is convenient for replacement, low in maintenance cost, and convenient and quick maintenance.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: a fixing device for the outward-extending end of a cross-ditch guardrail is safe and reliable, easy to install, has high construction efficiency, effectively shortens the construction period, can absorb the energy of vehicle collisions when in use, and reduces damage to vehicles and personnel. The components are connected by bolts, and after a collision, only some components need to be replaced to restore the original state, effectively reducing the maintenance cost of the maintenance unit.
