Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic safety facilities technology, and in particular to a safety guardrail for highway maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] Highway guardrails are an important component of highway traffic safety facilities. They are designed to absorb collision energy through blocking, deformation, or vehicle climbing, thereby reducing the severity of injury to drivers and passengers. Based on their location on the highway cross-section, they can be divided into roadside guardrails and median guardrails. Based on the degree of deformation after a vehicle collision, they can be divided into rigid guardrails, semi-rigid guardrails, and flexible guardrails. When a vehicle loses control or collides, guardrails can effectively absorb impact energy, slow down the vehicle, reduce the severity of the accident, and protect the vehicle and passengers from further serious injury. At the same time, guardrails can prevent out-of-control vehicles from crossing the road, reducing the risk of secondary collisions with oncoming vehicles or pedestrians and buildings around the road. Guardrails can also clearly define lane boundaries, guiding drivers to follow designated routes and reducing dangerous behaviors such as arbitrary lane changes and driving against traffic.

[0003] To this end, Chinese patent application number CN205444042U discloses a safety guardrail for highway maintenance, including a base, a support rod on the base, and several transverse connecting rods on the support rod; one end of each transverse connecting rod is provided with a rotating connector, and the other end is provided with a corresponding slot; a reflective ball is provided at the upper end of the support rod. This utility model has a reasonable design, simple structure, and is easy to assemble and transport in parts. It has good stability, high reliability, and good warning effect. It can effectively protect the guardrail device from impact and damage, and can also protect the safety of accident vehicles and their occupants to a greater extent, reducing the occurrence of safety accidents. It is easy to promote and use.

[0004] While current highway maintenance safety barriers generally meet people's needs, some problems still exist, as detailed below:

[0005] 1. The problem of difficulty in adjusting the height of the crossbars of safety guardrails used for highway maintenance: The road surface height may vary due to maintenance, repair, or changes in terrain, requiring adjustment of the crossbar height to ensure that the guardrail always maintains an appropriate height difference with the road surface, thereby more effectively providing protection. At the same time, different types of vehicles have different center of gravity heights and collision characteristics, and adjusting the height of the guardrail crossbars can better adapt to the collision needs of different types of vehicles, providing more comprehensive protection.

[0006] 2. The problem that highway maintenance safety barriers are difficult to cushion during vehicle collisions. Highway maintenance safety barriers are usually located at the edge of the lane. When a driver has an accident while driving, the vehicle will collide with the highway maintenance safety barriers on both sides. The vehicle may roll over, lose control, or suffer other serious secondary injuries due to the violent collision. Highway maintenance safety barriers need to have the ability to cushion the impact to reduce the impact on the driver and passengers. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a safety guardrail for highway maintenance, which solves the defects of existing safety guardrails for highway maintenance, such as difficulty in adjusting the height of the crossbars and difficulty in buffering during vehicle collisions.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a safety guardrail for highway maintenance, including a connecting plate;

[0009] The top of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to a mounting base by bolts, and a support rod is fixed to the top of the mounting base;

[0010] A warning structure is installed at one end of the support rod, and an adjustment structure is installed on one side of the support rod;

[0011] The adjustment structure includes an adjustment hole, a mounting plate, an adjustment screw, and a fixing groove. The mounting plate is installed on both sides of the support rod, and the adjustment screw runs through the interior of the mounting plate. A fixing groove is integrally formed on one side of the mounting plate, and a protective structure is snapped onto one side of the adjustment structure.

[0012] In use, first, the connecting plate and the pre-embedded pole are pre-embedded and fixed at equal intervals at the location where the highway maintenance safety guardrail needs to be installed. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the connecting plate is parallel to the ground or slightly higher than the ground. Then, the mounting base and the connecting plate are fixedly connected by bolts, thereby erecting the support rod. When installing the support rod, pay attention to the direction of the triangular plates at both ends, with the thinner side of the triangular plate facing the direction of oncoming vehicles. Next, align the fixing groove with the two sides of the corrugated plate and snap them together. Select the appropriate adjustment hole according to the required guardrail height, and use the adjusting screw to pass through the mounting plate to fix the mounting plate to both sides of the support rod, thereby fixing the fixing groove and the corrugated plate. Reflective posts can be installed at the top of the support rod in places where danger may occur for warning purposes.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom end of the connecting plate is integrally formed with a pre-embedded rod, which is distributed in a ring at the bottom end of the connecting plate to ensure the stability of the support rod installation.

[0014] Furthermore, the warning structure includes a triangular plate, a reflective strip, a fixing screw, and a reflective post. The triangular plate is installed at both ends of the support rod, and the fixing screw passes through both the top and bottom ends of the triangular plate. The reflective post is threaded to the top of the support rod, and reminds the driver to pay attention to safety by reflecting the vehicle's lights.

[0015] Furthermore, a reflective strip is attached to one end of the triangular plate. The reflective strip is symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the support rod, which can simultaneously remind vehicles on both sides of the highway maintenance safety guardrail to pay attention to safety.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer side wall of the reflector is uniformly provided with external threads, and the inner side wall of the top of the support rod is uniformly provided with internal threads that cooperate with the external threads. The reflector and the support rod are threadedly connected, allowing the reflector to be disassembled and adjusted at will. It can be installed at road intersections and turns, thereby further reminding drivers of potential dangers on the road and reducing the occurrence of accidents.

[0017] Furthermore, the adjustment holes are located on both sides of the support rod and are arranged at equal intervals on both sides of the support rod. When installing the mounting plate, the appropriate height of the adjustment holes can be selected according to the road conditions and safety requirements.

[0018] Furthermore, the protective structure includes a corrugated plate, a rubber layer, and a polyethylene foam layer. The corrugated plate is snapped onto one side of the adjustment structure. Both ends of the corrugated plate are provided with rubber layers, and one end of the corrugated plate is provided with a polyethylene foam layer. It can absorb collision energy through its own deformation, thereby reducing damage to the vehicle and passengers.

[0019] This utility model provides a safety guardrail for highway maintenance, which has the following advantages: Multiple sets of adjustment holes are equally spaced on both sides of the support rod. When installing the mounting plate, the appropriate height of the adjustment hole can be selected according to road conditions and safety requirements. The mounting plate and fixing groove can be installed by passing an adjustment screw through the mounting plate and inserting it into the adjustment hole, then tightening it. The side cross-sectional area of ​​the fixing groove is larger than that of the corrugated plate. When connecting the fixing groove and the corrugated plate, simply align the side of the corrugated plate with the fixing groove for a snap-fit ​​connection. The installation operation is simple and quick, and can be adjusted at will. The corrugated plate of appropriate height restrains the movement direction of vehicles, preventing traffic accidents such as collisions and rollovers. This achieves the purpose of adjusting the height of the crossbars in the safety guardrail for highway maintenance.

[0020] By fastening multiple corrugated plates to one side of the support rod and fixing groove, the corrugated plates, with their wavy sides, can more effectively disperse and absorb impact force. When a vehicle collides with the guardrail, the corrugated plates can absorb the collision energy through their own deformation, thereby reducing injury to the vehicle and passengers. Inside the corrugated plates, there are rubber layers and polyethylene foam layers. The rubber layer has excellent elasticity and cushioning capacity. When a vehicle collides with the guardrail, the rubber layer can absorb a large amount of impact energy, thereby reducing damage to the vehicle and the guardrail itself. The polyethylene foam layer can further improve the overall strength without significantly increasing the mass, thus achieving the purpose of the safety guardrail for highway maintenance to cushion vehicle collisions.
