Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of prefabricated guardrails in the brewing industry, and specifically relates to a prefabricated guardrail. Background Technology

[0002] The equipment on automated liquor production lines is generally too high, making it difficult for operators to observe and maintain it. Therefore, elevated platforms are installed along the production line for observing and maintaining equipment. Elevated work platforms are also installed at the equipment operating positions to allow operators to simultaneously operate and observe the equipment. Safety railings are installed around both the platforms and work platforms.

[0003] Currently, the connection methods between guardrails and platforms are welding and bolt fastening. Welding stainless steel guardrails on-site is difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, and also makes later replacement and modification difficult. Bolt fastening allows for prefabrication of guardrails to the required specifications and lengths, facilitating installation and replacement. However, bolt fastening requires high installation precision and dimensional accuracy of the guardrails, and installation difficulties can easily arise during the process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, this application provides an assemblable guardrail to solve the above-mentioned technical defects.

[0005] According to a first aspect of this utility model, an assemblable guardrail is proposed, comprising a guardrail assembly, a guardrail spacer assembly, and a platform. The guardrail assembly includes handrails and two side posts. The handrails are located at the top of the side posts, and mounting plates are located at the bottom of the side posts. The mounting plates are detachably connected to the platform. Horizontal or vertical mounting holes are also provided on the side posts. Adjacent guardrail assemblies are connected parallel or perpendicularly to each other through the mating of the guardrail spacer assembly and the mounting holes. This guardrail design solves the problems of difficult on-site installation, replacement, and maintenance, and also addresses the high precision requirements for guardrail dimensions.

[0006] In some specific embodiments, the guardrail spacer assembly includes a spacer, bolts, and nuts. The bolts pass through mounting holes on two adjacent posts and engage with the spacer and nut in the middle, so that the two adjacent posts fit together tightly, improving the stability between adjacent posts.

[0007] In some specific embodiments, the nut is a cap nut, which covers the exposed part of the bolt to prevent moisture or other corrosive substances from entering, thereby playing a role in rust prevention and improving the service life of the guardrail spacer assembly.

[0008] In some specific embodiments, the mounting holes are located on the side of the two uprights near the handrail. This design is ergonomic and facilitates installation and subsequent maintenance.

[0009] In some specific embodiments, the guardrail assembly also includes crossbeams, which are spaced apart in the middle of the two side posts to connect the posts and balance the supporting force and stability of the posts.

[0010] In some specific embodiments, the guardrail assembly also includes a kick plate, which is set at the bottom of the two side posts. On the one hand, it is used to cover the joint between the platform and the guardrail assembly, so as to better connect the platform and the guardrail assembly, reduce wall deformation, and avoid damage caused by external force collisions, thus playing a protective role; on the other hand, it has a visual balance function and plays a decorative role.

[0011] In some specific embodiments, a pair of mounting plates are provided, each mounted on a post below the kick plate, to connect the platform and the guardrail assembly.

[0012] In some specific embodiments, the handrails and crossbeams are cylindrical structures. These structures are wind-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and erosion-resistant, with a more uniform stress distribution across their cross-sections, and are also easy to connect to the columns.

[0013] In some specific embodiments, an escalator is also provided on the platform. The escalator is located at the gap in the guardrail group on the platform. Guardrails are provided on both sides of the escalator. The guardrails are connected and cooperate with the posts of the guardrail group, combining the guardrails on the platform and the guardrails on the escalator into a whole, which helps to improve the stability of the entire guardrail device.

[0014] In some specific embodiments, when two adjacent guardrail groups are connected in parallel, the bolts pass through the transverse mounting holes on the two adjacent posts and the intermediate spacer and engage with the nuts; when two adjacent guardrail groups are connected in perpendicularly, the bolts pass through the longitudinal mounting holes, spacers and transverse mounting holes on the two adjacent posts and engage with the nuts. This design helps to improve the stability between two adjacent guardrail groups, and the assembly method is relatively simple, making it easy for people to install and replace.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are: the composition of a single guardrail group, the connection method of adjacent guardrail groups, and the splicing method of the guardrail and the platform are all relatively simple, enabling convenient installation and replacement, reducing on-site workload, and reducing the processing difficulty of the guardrail. It can meet the daily observation and operation needs of automated liquor production lines. Attached Figure Description
