Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traffic safety facility testing technology, specifically a wave-shaped guardrail anti-collision performance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Corrugated beam guardrails are an important highway safety facility, primarily used at openings in the median strip of highways. Through their combined corrugated beam movable steel guardrail structure, they effectively prevent out-of-control vehicles from running off the road, ensuring driving safety. Corrugated beam guardrails mainly consist of two corrugated beam steel guardrail panels and two posts fixedly clamped between them. During normal highway operation, the guardrail can be easily inserted into pre-set insertion holes at the opening using the plug-in posts, serving as a barrier and providing protection. In the event of a vehicle collision, the corrugated beam steel guardrail panels have excellent impact resistance and energy absorption properties, making them less prone to destruction while providing excellent protection for the vehicle and its occupants. Currently, the general testing process uses vehicles to simulate the most realistic scene. However, using vehicles for testing increases the cost and the risk of accidents. Utility Model Content

[0029] During use, the operator gently places the impact block 7 onto the weighing instrument 10, ensuring it is stable and does not tilt. Observe and record the value on the weight display screen 15. Record the reading only after it has stabilized to avoid errors. Fill in the recorded data in a dedicated test record sheet, noting the test number, date, and time. Remove the impact block 7 from the weighing instrument 10 and carefully place it into the inlet 6. Ensure the impact block 7 is fully inside the pipe without any jamming or obstruction. Activate the hydraulic push rod 3, ensuring it is in standby mode.
