[0041] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 14 Describes a guardrail according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0042] refer to Figures 1 to 13As shown, the guardrail according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes two frame components 10, one of which is movably connected to the other. The movable frame component 10 can be positioned above, in front of, or behind the other frame component 10 during its movement. Both frame components 10 can be extended and retracted in the left and right directions. When the frame component 10 is extended in the left and right directions, the protective area can be increased. When the frame component 10 is retracted in the left and right directions, the protective area can be reduced.
[0043] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first frame component 10 can be mounted on an aerial work platform or other necessary equipment. The second frame component 10 is movably connected to the first frame component 10. By moving the second frame component 10 to a position above the first frame component 10 and unfolding both frame components 10 in the left-right direction, the guardrail can be adjusted to its working state. When workers or objects need to temporarily pass over the guardrail, the two frame components 10 can be folded in the left-right direction, allowing workers or objects to pass through one side of the guardrail. Alternatively, the second frame component 10 can be moved to a position in front of or behind the first frame component 10, allowing workers or objects to pass over the guardrail. Furthermore, the two frame components 10 can be folded in the left-right direction, with the second frame component 10 moved to a position in front of or behind the first frame component 10, resulting in a fully folded guardrail. This allows workers or objects to pass through one side and above the guardrail without climbing it, making passage more convenient and safer.
[0044] refer to Figures 1 to 13 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the frame assembly 10 includes a mounting frame 100 and a movable frame 200. The movable frame 200 is movably connected to the mounting frame 100. The movable frame 200 can move to an unfolded state located on one side of the mounting frame 100 in the left-right direction, and to a folded state stored within the mounting frame 100. For example, both the mounting frame 100 and the movable frame 200 can be flat frame structures. When the guardrail is in operation, the thickness direction of the mounting frame 100 and the movable frame 200 can be the front-back direction.
[0045] In this embodiment, when the movable frame 200 is moved to an unfolded state located on one side of the mounting frame 100 in the left-right direction, the protective area of the guardrail can be increased, which can reduce the risk of workers falling. When workers or objects need to temporarily pass through the guardrail, the movable frame 200 can be moved to a retracted state stored in the mounting frame 100, which can facilitate workers or objects to pass through one side of the guardrail. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0046] refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a vertical shaft 101 extending vertically is provided on one side of the mounting frame 100, and one side of the movable frame 200 is rotatably fitted onto the vertical shaft 101. The movable frame 200 can switch between an unfolded state and a retracted state by rotation. For example, columns can be provided on both sides of the mounting frame 100 in the left and right directions, with the columns extending vertically. One of the columns forms the vertical shaft 101. The movable frame 200 may include a sleeve 205 and a U-shaped tube 206. The sleeve 205 is rotatably fitted onto the vertical shaft 101, and the two ends of the U-shaped tube 206 are respectively connected to the top and bottom ends of the sleeve 205. In this way, the movable frame 200 can be rotated to an unfolded state located on one side of the mounting frame 100 in the left and right directions. In this state, the protective area of the guardrail is larger, which can reduce the risk of workers falling. The movable frame 200 can also be rotated to be stored inside the mounting frame 100. In this state, it is convenient for workers to pass through one side of the guardrail. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0047] refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting frame 100 is provided with two first limiting holes 102, and the movable frame 200 is provided with a second limiting hole 201. When the movable frame 200 rotates to the unfolded state and the retracted state, the second limiting hole 201 can be aligned with the two first limiting holes 102 respectively, so as to insert a limiting pin 103 to restrict the rotation of the movable frame 200. For example, the two first limiting holes 102 can be provided at the top of the mounting frame 100 and arranged in the left-right direction. The two first limiting holes 102 can be located on opposite sides of the axis of the vertical shaft 101 of the mounting frame 100, and the second limiting hole 201 can be provided at the top of the movable frame 200.
[0048] In this embodiment, when the movable frame 200 rotates to the unfolded state, the second limiting hole 201 aligns perfectly with one of the first limiting holes 102. Inserting the limiting pin 103 then prevents the movable frame 200 from rotating arbitrarily, resulting in better protection and safety. When the movable frame 200 rotates to the retracted state, the second limiting hole 201 aligns perfectly with the other first limiting hole 102. Inserting the limiting pin 103 then prevents the movable frame 200 from rotating arbitrarily, thus avoiding any obstruction to the passage of personnel and objects.
[0049] refer to Figures 8 to 13As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the movable frame 200 can slide and adjust in the left and right direction, and the movable frame 200 can switch between an unfolded state and a retracted state by sliding. For example, when the movable frame 200 slides to the left relative to the mounting frame 100, the movable frame 200 can slide to the unfolded state located on the left side of the mounting frame 100. In this state, the protective area of the guardrail is larger, which can reduce the risk of workers falling. When the movable frame 200 slides to the right relative to the mounting frame 100, the movable frame 200 can slide to be stored inside the mounting frame 100. In this way, it is convenient for workers to pass through from one side of the guardrail. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0050] refer to Figures 8 to 13 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting frame 100 is provided with a crossbeam 104 extending in the left-right direction, the crossbeam 104 forming a sliding hole 105, the movable frame 200 includes a vertical rod 202 and a horizontal rod 203, the horizontal rod 203 is connected to one side of the vertical rod 202, and the horizontal rod 203 is slidably installed in the sliding hole 105. For example, each of the two mounting frames 100 can have one or more horizontal beams 104 extending in the left-right direction. The horizontal beams 104 are hollow structures and have sliding holes 105 extending in the left-right direction. The movable frame 200 can have one vertical rod 202. On the same side of the vertical rod 202, one or more horizontal rods 203 can be provided. The horizontal rods 203 and the sliding holes 105 can correspond one-to-one. The horizontal rods 203 are slidably installed in the corresponding sliding holes 105. By pushing the movable frame 200 in the left-right direction, the horizontal rods 203 can slide in the sliding holes 105, thereby allowing the movable frame 200 to slide in the left-right direction relative to the mounting frame 100. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the connection between the movable frame 200 and the mounting frame 100 is relatively stable.
[0051] It should be noted that in some other embodiments of this utility model, the movable frame 200 may also be in other sliding manner. For example, a slide rail may be provided on the mounting frame 100, and the movable frame 200 may be slidably mounted on the slide rail.
[0052] refer to Figures 8 to 14As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, one end of the sliding hole 105 is provided with two rollers 300 arranged vertically, and the crossbar 203 is fitted between the two rollers 300. The end of the crossbar 203 away from the vertical bar 202 is provided with a limiting plate 204. When the movable frame 200 slides to the unfolded state, the limiting plate 204 abuts against the rollers 300 to restrict the crossbar 203 from sliding out of the sliding hole 105. For example, the roller 300 may include a roller body 301, two bearings 302, a bushing 303, two limiting sleeves 304, and a bolt 305. The roller body 301 can be rotatably sleeved on the outside of the bushing 303 by the two bearings 302. The two limiting sleeves 304 can be sleeved on the outside of the bushing 303 and located on opposite sides of the two bearings 302 to lock the bearings 302. The bushing 303 can be sleeved on the outside of the bolt 305. The bolt 305 can be installed on the crossbeam 104. The outer peripheral wall of the roller body 301 can be formed with an arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped groove surrounds the roller body 301. The crossbar 203 is fitted between the two roller bodies 301 and is in contact with the roller body 301.
[0053] In this embodiment, the crossbar 203 is slidably installed between two rollers 300, making the sliding smoother and reducing the occurrence of jamming. In addition, the crossbar 203 is provided with a limiting plate 204, so that when the crossbar 203 slides to the point where it is about to slide out of the sliding hole 105, the limiting plate 204 can abut against the two rollers 300 to prevent the crossbar 203 from sliding out of the sliding hole 105, thus improving safety.
[0054] It should be noted that the roller 300 can also be other structures. For example, the bearing 302 can be directly mounted on the outside of the bolt 305.
[0055] refer to Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, one mounting frame 100 is rotatably connected to the top of another mounting frame 100, and the rotation axis between the two mounting frames 100 extends in the left-right direction. For example, the two mounting frames 100 can be defined as a first mounting frame and a second mounting frame, respectively. The bottom end of the first mounting frame can be used to install on an aerial work platform or other required equipment. The end of the second mounting frame near the first mounting frame can be rotatably connected to the top of the first mounting frame through multiple hinges 107. The structures of the first mounting frame and the second mounting frame can be the same or can have certain differences.
[0056] In this embodiment, the second mounting frame can rotate around the left-right axis. When the second mounting frame rotates to be above the first mounting frame, the guardrail has a larger protective area, which can reduce the risk of workers falling. When workers or objects need to pass temporarily, the second mounting frame rotates to be in front of or behind the first mounting frame, so that workers or objects can pass over the guardrail. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0057] It should be noted that one of the frame components 10 can also be movably connected to another frame component 10 in other ways. For example, it can be connected to another frame component 10 by sliding vertically. During the sliding process, it can be located above, in front of, or behind another frame component 10.
[0058] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a kick plate 108 may be provided at the bottom of the first mounting frame. The kick plate 108 prevents workers from getting their feet caught in the first mounting frame and sustaining injuries.
[0059] refer to Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, one of the mounting frames 100 is provided with a locking buckle 106, and the other mounting frame 100 is provided with a corresponding latch. When the two mounting frames 100 rotate relative to each other to be arranged in the vertical direction, the locking buckle 106 can be engaged with the latch to restrict the relative rotation of the two mounting frames 100.
[0060] In this embodiment, when the two mounting frames 100 rotate relative to each other to be arranged in the vertical direction, the locking buckle 106 can be engaged with the latch, thereby restricting the relative rotation of the two mounting frames 100, keeping the guardrail in working condition, and providing better protection and safety.
[0061] It should be noted that the locking buckle 106 is a common fastening structure, and its structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0062] refer to Figures 8 to 10 as well as Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the two movable frames 200 are hinged to each other. For example, when the movable frame 200 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 100, the two movable frames 200 can be hinged together by a hinge 207. This not only makes the structure stronger, but also allows the two movable frames 200 to slide synchronously and more smoothly. In addition, when the two mounting frames 100 rotate relative to each other, the two movable frames 200 can also rotate relative to each other accordingly, thereby avoiding interference with the relative rotation of the two mounting frames 100.
[0063] It should be noted that in some other embodiments of this utility model, the two movable frames 200 can also be set separately. For example, when the movable frame 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 100, the two movable frames 200 can also be set separately instead of being connected together. In this way, interference with the relative rotation of the two mounting frames 100 can also be avoided.
[0064] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
