TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the maintenance field of compartment type elevator especially relates to a foldable protective fence for elevator maintenance. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the elevator maintenance operation, safety protection measures are the important link to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel and the surrounding environment. Traditionally, in order to isolate the elevator shaft, prevent personnel from entering or falling, the protective fence composed of two foldable plates is generally used. This kind of protective fence is placed in front of the elevator to be maintained by unfolding to form a certain angle, so as to play the role of warning and blocking.
[0003] With the increasing demand for elevator maintenance and the continuous improvement of safety standards, the traditional protective fence gradually exposes a series of problems in design and actual application. Due to the limitation of structural design, the traditional protective fence still occupies a large space even in the folded state, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and cost of management and transportation for the elevator maintenance team with limited storage space. In the actual application process, the traditional protective fence only relies on its own weight and simple unfolding mechanism to maintain stability, and when encountering strong wind or slight human collision, it is easy to fall, thereby losing the protection effect and increasing the risk of safety accidents. At the same time, the height and structural design of the traditional protective fence are often insufficient to effectively prevent small animals such as cats and dogs from crossing, which not only may interfere with the maintenance work, but also may cause accidental injury events of animals, further reducing the safety of the maintenance site.
[0004] Therefore, it is an urgent technical problem for the technical personnel in the field to develop a new type of protective fence for elevator maintenance which can effectively reduce the volume, improve the stability and enhance the protection effect. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. In addition, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. In the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower positions of the device in actual use or operation, specifically the drawing directions in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device.
[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a pole 1, a linkage mechanism 2, and a caster mounting rod 3.
[0018] The guardrail consists of two uprights 1, one on the left and one on the right. The uprights 1 are made of round aluminum to reduce overall weight while maintaining sufficient strength. Grooves 11 are vertically formed around each upright 1 for connection and fixation with the linkage mechanism 2. A retaining ring 12 is located in the middle of the upright 1, which limits the maximum opening and closing width at the connection point between the linkage mechanism 2 and the upright 1, ensuring the stability of the guardrail during use. A crossbar 4 is rotatably mounted above one upright 1; the crossbar 4 is preferably telescopic to accommodate different height requirements. A protruding post 13 is fixedly mounted above the other upright 1, engaging with a hook 41 at the end of the crossbar 4 to further secure and close the guardrail.
[0019] The linkage mechanism 2 consists of multiple intersecting metal rods, forming a stable rhomboid or polygonal structure that is both aesthetically pleasing and robust. Both ends of the linkage mechanism 2 are respectively engaged in the slots 11 of the upright post 1. Through the cooperation between the slots and the linkage mechanism, the retractable function of the guardrail is achieved.
[0020] A caster mounting rod 3 is vertically installed in the middle of the linkage mechanism 2. The caster mounting rod 3 has an elongated hole 31 at the top and a round hole 32 at the bottom. The elongated hole 31 and the round hole 32 are respectively connected to the intersection of metal rods in the linkage mechanism 2, allowing the caster mounting rod 3 to move up and down as the linkage mechanism 2 extends and retracts. A caster wheel 33 is installed below the caster mounting rod 3. When the guardrail is retracted, the caster wheel 33 touches the ground, making it easy for workers to push the guardrail on the ground; when the guardrail is extended, the caster wheel 33 moves upward under the action of the caster mounting rod 3, ensuring the guardrail remains stable.
[0021] The lower end of the upright post 1 is provided with a base 14, which includes two foldable foot blocks 141. When the guardrail is in use, the foot blocks 141 are folded down to make them contact the ground, providing stable support for the guardrail.
[0022] Specific usage steps:
[0023] In this embodiment, the guardrail is first unfolded. By adjusting the extension length of the linkage mechanism 2, the guardrail reaches the required width. The fixing ring 12 is used to limit the linkage mechanism 2, ensuring the stability of the guardrail. Then, the crossbar 4 is rotated to a horizontal position, and its length is adjusted so that the hook 41 hooks the protruding post 13 on the other side, thereby closing and further securing the guardrail. Next, the foot blocks 141 of the base 14 are flipped down to ensure that the guardrail is stably supported on the ground. At this time, the casters 33 move upward under the action of the caster mounting rod 3, keeping the guardrail in a fixed state and preventing movement. After the maintenance work is completed, the guardrail is folded in reverse order, and the casters 33 are used to push it on the ground to the storage position, achieving convenient storage and movement of the guardrail.
[0024] The above provides a detailed description of a foldable safety railing for elevator maintenance provided by this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this invention. The descriptions of the embodiments above are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
