[0021] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purpose and effects of the present invention, the specific implementation of the present invention is now described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same components are marked with the same reference numerals.

[0022] Figure 1a This is a schematic diagram of the top structural principle of a combined bridge guardrail according to a specific embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 1b for Figure 1a Schematic diagram of the main structural principle of the combined bridge guardrail; Figure 1c for Figure 1a Schematic diagram of the right-side structural principle of the combined bridge guardrail; Figure 2 for Figure 1b Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structural principle of the combined bridge guardrail; Figure 3 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the principle of partial three-dimensional decomposition structure; see Figures 1a to 3The utility model provides a combined bridge guardrail, which comprises a concrete base 1 extending along the edge of a bridge deck, a plurality of support columns 2 arranged on the top of the concrete base 1, an upper cross beam 41 and a lower cross beam 42 connected to the support columns 2 by anti-blocking blocks 3, and a Y-shaped structural member 5 connected to the first support column 2 in the driving direction of the vehicle by the anti-blocking block 3. The Y-shaped structural member 5 comprises a first horizontal part 51 and a second horizontal part 52, and a connecting part 53 is arranged between the first horizontal part 51 and the second horizontal part 52. The first horizontal part 51 is further provided with a bent part 54, and the first horizontal part 51 and the second horizontal part 52 are connected to the upper cross beam 41 and the lower cross beam 42 by sleeves 6, respectively.

[0023] The technical solution provided by the utility model has the greatest innovation compared with the prior art mentioned in the background art, such as Chinese patent CN109577187A, which is that the Y-shaped structural member 5 is pre-installed to enhance the safety protection performance of the guardrail in the driving direction of the vehicle. Figure 1b and Figure 1c As shown, most of the structure of the connecting part 53 and the first horizontal part 51 is arranged outside the concrete base 1, and the bent part 54 is bent outward after the road surface. In the extension direction of the concrete base 1, the support column 2 on which the Y-shaped structural member 5 is installed is covered. When a vehicle collides with the Y-shaped structural member 5 during driving, it will first collide with the bent part 54. If the kinetic energy of the vehicle is too large, the bent part 54 will bend the first horizontal part 51 outward during the energy absorption process to absorb the kinetic energy of the vehicle. When the first horizontal part 51 is bent to the connecting position of the connecting part 53, more kinetic energy can be transmitted to the second horizontal part 52 through the connecting part 53. Through the energy absorption of the connecting part 53 and the second horizontal part 52, most of the kinetic energy of the out-of-control vehicle can be absorbed by the bent part 54, the first horizontal part 51, the connecting part 53, and the second horizontal part 52 when it collides with the concrete base 1, thereby avoiding direct collision with the concrete base 1 and causing damage to the concrete base 1. In addition, compared with the structure in which the end of the upper cross beam 41 and the lower cross beam 42 is arranged independently, the design of the Y-shaped structural member 5 in the utility model can also avoid the situation that the vehicle is damaged when different parts of the vehicle collide with the ends of the upper cross beam 41 and the lower cross beam 42, respectively, because the kinetic energy is independently loaded on each structure, which may cause the cross beam to penetrate into the vehicle and cause harm to the vehicle occupants.

[0024] On the last support column 2 along the vehicle driving direction, since it is not towards the vehicle driving direction, the Y-shaped structure 5 can not be used, and only the prior art is referred to, and the upper cross beam 41 and the lower cross beam 42 are provided with a bent end.

[0025] The support column 2, the upper cross beam 41, the lower cross beam 42 and the Y-shaped structure 5 can be made of a circular pipe, for example, a pipe of HR700F can be selected. For the Y-shaped structure 5, see Figure 1b 、 1c and Figure 3 The main body of the connecting part 53 can be made by bending the extension of the second horizontal part 52, welding an arc-shaped plate 531, and then welding and connecting the arc-shaped plate 531 with the first horizontal part 51. Of course, the connecting part 53 can also be made by an independent pipe, and the end connected with the first horizontal part 51 still adopts the welding connection mode of the arc-shaped plate 531, and the other end can adopt the mode of setting a horizontal part, sleeving the second horizontal part 52 and then welding and reinforcing.

[0026] See Figure 3 Between the Y-shaped structure 5 and the upper cross beam 41 and the lower cross beam 42, and when the upper cross beam 41 and the lower cross beam 42 need to be segmented and assembled, the upper cross beams 41 of different lengths and the lower cross beams 42 can be connected by the sleeve pipe 6. The sleeve pipe 6 is made of a pipe with a smaller diameter (also can be selected from HR700F material), can be inserted into two parts of the structure to be connected, and then connected by bolts, so as to guarantee the stability of the connection and facilitate assembly and disassembly.

[0027] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure principle of the support column with a length of 1c. See Figure 4 The support column 2 includes a column body 21 and a column bottom plate 22 connected by welding, and the column bottom plate 22 is used to be connected with the concrete base 1 by bolts. On the outer side of the column body 21, at least four L-shaped reinforcing ribs 23 connected with the column bottom plate 22 by welding are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction, so as to increase the connection strength of the column body 21 and the column bottom plate 22.

[0028] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure principle of the anti-blocking block of Figure 2 See Figure 5As shown, the anti-blocking block 3 comprises two semi-circular plates 31 which are perpendicular to the axis, and the two semi-circular plates 31 are connected by two connecting plates 32 on the outer side. The two semi-circular plates 31 are connected with the support column 2, the upper cross beam 41, the lower cross beam 42 and the Y-shaped structural member 5 by bolts, so that the energy absorption effect is ensured and the assembly is facilitated.

[0029] The combined bridge guardrail provided by the utility model is convenient to assemble, convenient to maintain, transparent, beautiful and low in comprehensive cost under the premise of ensuring the safety of vehicles and personnel in the driving direction.

The description is only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should understand the specification as a whole and understand the technical solutions involved in each embodiment as being combinable into different embodiments to understand the protection scope of the utility model.
