Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary facilities and equipment used in building construction environments, specifically a quick-installation and quick-disassembly diversified combination protective fence for building construction. Background Technology
[0002] Fences used at construction sites are temporary safety facilities primarily used to isolate the construction site from the outside world to protect the safety of construction workers, equipment, and the public. First, the specific area requiring enclosure needs to be defined based on the construction plan and actual site conditions. Depending on the construction environment (e.g., beside roads, near residential areas) and requirements (e.g., safety requirements, aesthetic considerations), suitable fence materials and designs are selected, such as wooden, iron, or plastic fences. They are commonly used in road renovation and expansion projects to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the work area while guiding traffic flow. They are also used as isolation measures during power line erection and maintenance, or when using large equipment such as tower cranes, to ensure construction safety.
[0003] Currently, the use of fencing at construction sites does present some inconveniences, such as:
[0004] Large Components: Many fencing systems consist of multiple large components, which are typically heavy and bulky, requiring significant manpower and machinery for handling and transportation. Installing such fencing usually requires multiple workers working together, which not only increases labor costs but can also delay construction due to poor coordination. The installation process may require the use of auxiliary equipment such as cranes and forklifts, further increasing the complexity and cost of installation. Disassembly of the fencing also requires considerable manpower and time, especially after prolonged use, as connectors may rust or become damaged, increasing the difficulty of disassembly.
[0005] Fixed dimensions and specifications: Fences typically need to be pre-designed based on the specific conditions of the construction site, including dimensions and shape. While this customized design can meet specific needs, it also leads to higher preparation time and costs. Once the fence is installed, if the site conditions change (such as terrain changes or adjustments to the construction area), the original fence may not be suitable for the new requirements, necessitating redesign and reinstallation, resulting in wasted resources. It also lacks flexibility in turning and combining into various shapes. These problems make current fences inconvenient to use and costly. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings and defects of the existing technology, the inventors have developed and improved a modular fence design, a lightweight material fence, and a quick-installation structure. These improvements aim to increase installation efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance flexibility. Specifically, this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0007] A quick-assembly and quick-disassembly modular protective fence for construction includes: several upright posts placed on the ground; a first pair of snap fasteners located on at least two different facing surfaces at the top, middle, and bottom of each post, for connecting with a second pair of snap fasteners after being fitted together; a top crossbar with several pre-set holes for horizontal installation on the top of the uprights to fix the uprights, and having a second pair of snap fasteners at both ends that are adapted to the first pair of snap fasteners, respectively, for connecting with the posts on their respective sides; and a middle crossbar with several pre-set holes, and having a second pair of snap fasteners at both ends that are adapted to the first pair of snap fasteners. A second pair of snap fasteners, adapted to the first pair of snap fasteners, are respectively connected to the uprights on one side for installation; used for horizontal insertion into the middle of the vertical pole; the bottom horizontal plate has several pre-set insertion holes, and both ends have a second pair of snap fasteners adapted to the first pair of snap fasteners, respectively connected to the uprights on one side for installation; used for insertion of the bottom of the vertical pole; there are several vertical poles, and their upper, middle and lower parts are respectively inserted into the top crossbeam, the middle horizontal plate and the bottom horizontal plate; the uprights, vertical poles, top crossbeam, middle horizontal plate and bottom horizontal plate together constitute the guardrail, and multiple sets of guardrails are combined to form a closed and connected fence.
[0008] Furthermore, the top crossbeam, the middle crossbeam, and the bottom crossbeam are all integrally pressed sheet metal, with a top and bottom surface of equal thickness and a side surface. The bottom and top surfaces of the middle crossbeam are provided with preset insertion holes; the bottom surface of the top crossbeam and the top surface of the bottom crossbeam are provided with the preset insertion holes.
[0009] Furthermore, two second pairs of fasteners are provided on both ends of the middle and bottom horizontal plates, and one second pair of fasteners is provided on the end of the top crossbeam; two first pairs of fasteners are provided at the bottom and middle of the column, and one first pair of fasteners is provided at the top.
[0010] Furthermore, the first pair of fasteners are n-shaped slot-like structures welded to the side wall of the column; the second pair of fasteners are downwardly extending lug structures, which are welded to the side walls of the top crossbeam, the middle crossbeam, and the bottom crossbeam, and the lug structures have gaps from the side walls. The size of the lug structures is adapted to the opening size of the n-shaped slot-like structures, and can be fastened into the n-shaped slot-like structures; the gap is not less than the thickness of the n-shaped slot-like structures.
[0011] Furthermore, several drainage holes are provided on the bottom surface of the top crossbeam, the middle crossbeam, and the bottom crossbeam. The column is a square tube or a round tube, and the shape and size of the preset insertion hole are adapted to the cross-sectional shape and size of the column.
[0012] Furthermore, when the column is used as a corner column, the first pair of fasteners on its column surface are arranged at right angles on two adjacent column surfaces.
[0013] Furthermore, the n-shaped slot structure of the first pair of fasteners is a square structure, and the hanging ear structure of the second pair of fasteners is also a correspondingly adapted square, allowing for insertion and fastening installation from three side directions.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes one side of the column with a hinge installed at the top, middle and bottom, and the other side of the hinge installed on the side wall of a set of top crossbeams, middle crossbeams and bottom crossbeams. The other side wall is not equipped with fasteners. This set of top crossbeams, middle crossbeams and bottom crossbeams constitutes an independent gate, and a lock is installed on the gate to enter and exit the fence.
[0015] Furthermore, each of the columns is provided with a base fixing plate at its bottom end, and the base fixing plate is provided with several fixing holes, through which the fence body can be installed and fixed by inserting ground bolts.
[0016] Another aspect of this utility model provides a method for assembling and disassembling the above-mentioned quick-installation and quick-disassembly diversified combination protective fence, which includes the following steps:
[0017] Quick Installation: Step S1: After erecting the two posts, take out a set of top crossbeams, middle crossbeams, and bottom crossbeams. Attach the second pair of fasteners at both ends of the bottom and middle crossbeams to the first pair of fasteners between the two posts. Step S2: According to the pre-set length and width dimensions of this fence and the desired shape and orientation, connect the bottom crossbeam, middle crossbeam, and posts to form the desired shape and area. Step S3: Align each vertical bar with the pre-set holes on the top surface of the middle crossbeam and insert them sequentially until they are inserted into the corresponding pre-set holes on the bottom crossbeam. Step S4: Insert each top crossbeam through the top of the vertical bar and attach the second pair of fasteners to the first pair of fasteners to complete the fixation. Step S5: Install the gate structure separately in the area where a gate is needed.
[0018] Quick disassembly: Step S1': Pull all the top crossbeams upwards from the top of the vertical poles, disassemble them, stack them together, count them, and then tie them up; Step S2': Pull all the vertical poles upwards, disassemble them, stack them together, count them, and then tie them up; Step S3': Pull all the bottom crossbeams and middle crossbeams out from between the second pair of interlocking fasteners and the first pair of interlocking fasteners between the columns, disassemble them, stack them together, count them, and then tie them up; Step S4': Remove the ground bolts at the bottom of the columns, stack them together, count them, and then tie them up.
[0019] The working principle of this utility model: In this utility model, the quick-installation and quick-disassembly modular protective fence adopts a modular design, decomposing the fence into multiple standardized components, including posts, top crossarms, middle crossarms, bottom crossarms, and vertical poles. This design allows each component to be produced and transported independently, greatly simplifying the installation and disassembly process. The various components of the fence can be formed using metals such as aluminum alloy sheets, with the posts and vertical poles having a hollow structure. These materials are not only lightweight but also possess sufficient strength and durability to meet the safety requirements of construction sites. The structural design achieves rapid installation and disassembly. The first pair of snap fasteners is located at the top, middle, and bottom of the posts, forming an n-shaped slot structure; the second pair of snap fasteners is located at the ends of the top crossarm, middle crossarm, and bottom crossarm; they are mutually compatible in size and shape, using downward-extending hook structures inserted into the slots. This design allows other components to be quickly inserted and fixed via the hook structures without the need for bolts or screws; the top crossarm, middle crossarm, and bottom crossarm are all provided with pre-set insertion holes for inserting vertical poles. This design ensures accurate alignment of the uprights during installation and allows for easy fixation via simple insertion. The installed uprights also serve to secure the top, middle, and bottom crossbeams. For enhanced practicality, hinges are installed on one side of the uprights at the top, middle, and bottom, while the other side is mounted on the side wall of the top, middle, and bottom crossbeams. This design allows the assembly to function as a gate, facilitating easy access to the fenced area. The fastener design utilizes a square structure, allowing for interlocking installation from three sides. This design facilitates flexible repositioning when needed without requiring separate repositioning uprights. Using a single upright structure allows the fence to be flexibly adjusted in shape and direction to meet specific needs, significantly improving practicality and ease of use.
[0020] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are:
[0021] (1) Advantages of modular design: The fence is broken down into standardized components such as posts, top crossbeams, middle crossbeams, bottom crossbeams, and vertical bars. Each component can be produced and transported independently, and due to their consistent specifications, they are easy to bundle and pack, simplifying logistics and storage processes and reducing costs. The standardized components and snap-fit design make installation and disassembly simpler and faster, eliminating the need for bolts or screws, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs, and fully demonstrating the advantages of modular design. The modular design simplifies disassembly; all components can be stacked, counted, and bundled for easy management and reuse. The simple and quick installation and disassembly process reduces labor and time costs, while the durability and reusability of the materials also lower the overall cost over the long term.
[0022] (2) Lightweight and stable structure: The structure is made of metal such as aluminum alloy sheet, which is pressed and formed, and the columns and vertical rods are hollow structures. These materials are not only lightweight, making them easy to transport, assemble and disassemble, but also have sufficient strength and durability to meet the safety requirements of the construction site.
[0023] (3) High flexibility and practicality: The design of the first and second pairs of interlocking fasteners allows for insertion and fastening from three sides, enabling the fence to be flexibly adjusted in shape and direction according to actual needs under a single specification of post and horizontal plate structure, adapting to different construction site requirements and improving the flexibility and practicality during installation and combination. Hinges can be installed on one side of the post at the top, middle, and bottom, and the other side can be installed on the side wall of a set of top crossbeams, middle horizontal plates, and bottom horizontal plates to form a gate, facilitating entry and exit from the fenced area.
