[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of road maintenance technology and relates to a crash barrier for road bridges. Background Technology

[0002] Road guardrails are the most important traffic infrastructure for highways and municipal roads, playing a significant role in national economic and social development. Installed at the edges of roads or bridges, road guardrails not only delineate road traffic zones, ensuring orderly movement of vehicles within their designated areas, but also prevent vehicles from veering off the road in case of loss of control, thus avoiding more serious damage to life and property.

[0003] Existing conventional road and bridge guardrails are usually fixed guardrail structures. Although these guardrails provide good protection for pedestrians and vehicles, when a vehicle hits the guardrail, the guardrail does not have a cushioning effect, which not only causes serious impact damage to the vehicle and increases the vehicle's repair costs, but also requires the replacement of the entire guardrail, increasing the replacement cost.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a crash barrier for roads and bridges. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A crash barrier for roads and bridges includes at least two supporting columns 1 and two horizontal bars 2 installed between the two supporting columns 1. The two horizontal bars 2 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the supporting columns 1. It also includes a plurality of buffer bars installed longitudinally between the two supporting columns 1. The buffer bars are installed between the upper and lower horizontal bars 2 by an installation assembly. The buffer bars are arranged equidistantly along the length of the crash barrier body. The supporting columns 1 serve as the main support structure of the crash barrier body, ensuring its stable installation on the road surface and providing stable support. The upper and lower horizontal bars 2 serve as the connecting support structure for the buffer bars, and the buffer bars are firmly installed on the horizontal bars 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, specifically, a support pier is installed at the bottom of the support column 1. The support pier has a threaded hole penetrating the ground. The support column 1 and the support pier are connected by bolts or welding. The support column 1 is then fixed to the designated road surface via the support pier and bolts. Connecting lugs are welded or bolted to the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the support column 1. Two connecting lugs are respectively provided corresponding to two crossbars 2. The crossbars 2 and their corresponding connecting lugs are bolted together, facilitating the installation of the crossbars 2 onto the support column 1. Several buffer rods are installed between the two crossbars 2 via an installation assembly.

[0029] In this embodiment, the buffer rod 3 includes an outer sleeve 31 made of a flexible material, preferably nylon, which has good impact resistance, rigidity, and wear resistance. When a vehicle impacts the buffer rod 3, the nylon absorbs the impact force generated by the vehicle, protecting the occupants, reducing vehicle damage from the impact, and lowering vehicle maintenance costs.

[0030] In this embodiment, a reflective layer 4 is provided on the outer edge of the outer sleeve 31. This reflective layer 4 can be provided with reflective film or reflective strips. At night, the reflective layer 4 improves nighttime visibility, helping drivers to clearly see the position and status of the guardrail at night or in low light conditions, avoiding collisions and ensuring traffic safety.

[0031] In this embodiment, the buffer rod 3 includes an inner support rod 32 made of elastic material. The inner support rod 32 is inserted into the outer sleeve 31 and installed between the upper and lower crossbars 2 via an installation assembly. The inner support rod 32 is preferably a torsion spring. The torsion spring has high toughness. When the vehicle impacts the outer sleeve 31, the outer sleeve 31 causes the torsion spring to deform. The torsion spring further offsets the impact force generated by the vehicle impact, further ensuring vehicle safety.

[0032] In this embodiment, the installation assembly includes a first mounting component 5 and a second mounting component 6. The first mounting component 5 fixes the outer sleeve 31 and the inner support rod 32 to the upper crossbar 2, and the second mounting component 6 fixes the outer sleeve 31 and the inner support rod 32 to the lower crossbar 2. Compared with conventional welding methods, when a buffer rod 3 is damaged, this installation method allows for the individual replacement of the buffer rod 3, reducing the replacement cost of the guardrail.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first mounting component 5 includes a first mounting sleeve 51, a first fastener 52, and a first mounting bolt 53; the first mounting sleeve 51 has a first limiting part 511 integrally formed in the middle, and the first limiting part 511 is recessed in the middle; the upper end of the inner support rod 32 has a rod body insertion part integrally formed, and the upper end of the inner support rod 32 is inserted into the groove in the middle of the first limiting part 511; the inner wall of the first mounting sleeve 51 and the first limiting part 511 form a first insertion groove, and the upper end of the outer sleeve 31 has a sleeve insertion part integrally formed, and the sleeve insertion part is inserted into the groove. The sleeve is inserted into the first insertion groove; a through hole is provided along the side wall of the first mounting sleeve 51, which sequentially passes through the sleeve insertion part, the first limiting part 511, and the rod insertion part of the inner support rod 32. The first fastener 52 includes a first fastening bolt and a first nut. When the sleeve insertion part is inserted into the first insertion groove and the rod insertion part is inserted into the first limiting part 511, the first fastening bolt passes through the through hole and, with the cooperation of the first nut, fixes the upper end of the outer sleeve 31 and the upper end of the inner support rod 32 onto the first mounting sleeve 51.

[0034] It should be added that the first mounting sleeve 51 has a first fixing ear 512 integrally formed on the outer edge surface. When the first mounting sleeve 51 is placed in the mounting position of the upper crossbar 2, the first mounting sleeve 51 is fixed to the upper crossbar 2 by the threaded engagement of the first fastening bolt and the first fixing ear 512.

[0035] In this embodiment, the upper crossbar 2 is provided with an installation groove that is compatible with the first installation sleeve 51. The upper end of the first installation sleeve 51 can extend into the installation groove, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second mounting component 6 includes a second mounting sleeve 61, a second fastener 62, and a second mounting bolt 63. A second limiting portion 611 is integrally formed in the middle of the second mounting sleeve 61, and the second limiting portion 611 is recessed in the middle. A rod insertion portion is integrally formed at the lower end of the inner support rod 32, and the lower end of the inner support rod 32 is inserted into the groove in the middle of the second limiting portion 611.
