Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building railing testing equipment, specifically to a field testing device for the horizontal load resistance performance of building railings. [Background Technology]

[0002] Building railings are architectural components, commonly used in stairwells, balconies, and areas with open spaces. They play a vital role in protecting personal safety and property. Composed of railings and balustrades, they prevent direct passage of people or objects and serve as spatial dividers. The railings are typically made of metal, consisting of posts and handrails, providing structural support. The balustrades can be made of metal or glass, serving as barriers. The horizontal load resistance of building railings depends not only on the materials used but also on the on-site installation conditions, such as the concrete strength at the post fixing points and the installation method. Therefore, the horizontal load resistance performance of building railings is often assessed through on-site testing to determine their true quality. The horizontal load resistance performance of building railings is a crucial indicator of their quality.

[0003] The national standard "Load Code for Building Structures" GB50009-2012 has clear requirements regarding the horizontal loads on buildings. The industry standard "Technical Standard for Building Guardrails" JGJ / T 470-2019 stipulates that a test report on the horizontal load resistance performance of building guardrails should be submitted during the acceptance of building guardrail projects. The industry standard "Glass and Metal Guardrails for Buildings" JG / T342-2012 provides detailed regulations on on-site testing methods for the horizontal load resistance performance of building guardrails. Existing on-site testing devices for the horizontal load resistance performance of building guardrails generally use weights, cement, or other heavy objects piled at the bottom of the force-applying device or fixed to the building's concrete floor with expansion bolts to counteract the support reaction force generated by the force-applying device. These two methods are complex to operate, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and produce large errors in the test results. They may also damage the original intact building floor, causing cracks and leaks. For stairwell guardrails, the limited tread area makes it impossible to effectively pile heavy objects for testing.

[0004] Given the immaturity of existing field testing devices for the horizontal load resistance of building railings, and the lack of effective field testing for this performance, it is of great significance to design a simple, easy-to-use, and high-precision field testing device for the horizontal load resistance of building railings.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides an on-site testing device for the horizontal load resistance performance of a building railing, comprising an adjustable T-shaped support 1, a force application component 2, a fixing frame 3, and a displacement meter 4.

[0028] The adjustable T-shaped support 1 includes a vertical rod base 11, a fixed circular tube 12, an adjustable circular tube 13, a first adjusting screw 14, and a connecting part 15. The fixed circular tube 12 is vertically mounted on the vertical rod base 11. The adjustable circular tube 13 is sleeved above the fixed circular tube 12 and can slide up and down along the fixed circular tube 12. The first adjusting screw 14 passes through the fixed circular tube 12 and is threadedly connected to the fixed circular tube 12 to fix and limit the adjustable circular tube 13. The connecting part 15 is located above the adjustable circular tube 13. The first adjusting screw 14 is located at the top of the fixed circular tube 12. By extending the adjustable circular tube 13 to the required height and tightening the adjusting screw, the adjustable circular tube 13 can be fixed. This setting allows for arbitrary height adjustment, unlike the previous fixing method using equidistant bolt holes, which could not precisely adjust the height of the test device. It effectively solves the problem of height difference caused by different ground flatness and different guardrail heights, and improves the accuracy of test results.

[0029] The force-applying component 2 includes a crossbar base 21, a fixed crossbar 22, an adjustable crossbar 23, a third adjusting screw 24, a force gauge 25, and a force-applying support 26. The middle part of the fixed crossbar 22 is connected to the connecting part 15. The crossbar base 21 is fixedly disposed at the rear end of the fixed crossbar 22. The adjustable crossbar 23 is sleeved on the front end of the fixed crossbar 22 and can move back and forth along the fixed crossbar 22. The third adjusting screw 24 passes through the fixed crossbar 22 and is threadedly connected to the fixed crossbar 22 to fix and limit the adjustable crossbar 23. One end of the force gauge 25 is disposed on the adjustable crossbar 23. The front end of the crossbar 22 is connected to the force-applying support 26; the adjustment principle of the fixed crossbar 22 and the adjustable crossbar 23 is the same as that of the T-shaped support 1; the crossbar base 21 can be abutted against the building wall or railing; the ingenious feature of the force-applying component 1 is that it changes the overall force model of the test device, changing the original complex test device that needs to resist the overturning moment brought by the test load to the existing test device that directly resists the axial force of the test load. This not only greatly simplifies the device, making it easier to install and transport, and improving work efficiency, but also avoids the risk of the original test device possibly overturning, and further improves the reliability of the test results.

The two ends of the steel connecting rod 33 are respectively mounted on the corresponding second mounting plate 32. 2. The dial indicator is fixedly connected to the steel connecting rod 33 by bolts 36. The displacement gauge 4 is fixed to the steel connecting rod 33 by the magnetic attraction 34. The required height of the dial indicator can be coarsely adjusted by selecting bolt holes 35 of different heights on the bracket 31, and the required height can be finely adjusted by adjusting the long strip bolt groove reserved in the movable tripod 32 to achieve precise positioning of the dial indicator. The length of the steel connecting rod 33 between the brackets 31 can also be adjusted as needed. In addition, five strong magnetic attraction 34 can be configured to fix five displacement gauges 4 for reading the deformation of the railing.
