[0030] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 A highway crash barrier, comprising:

[0031] The fixed column 1 is vertically fixedly installed on the ground.

[0032] The wave-shaped beam plate 4 is continuously arranged along the road edge and is arranged in parallel with the fixed column 1.

[0033] The horizontal connecting beam 5 is transversely arranged between the wave-shaped beam plate 4 and the fixed column 1, one end of the horizontal connecting beam 5 is rotatably connected with the wave-shaped beam plate 4 through the rotating connecting sleeve 6, and the other end is rotatably connected with the fixed column 1 through the buffer connecting sleeve 503.

[0034] Among them,

[0035] The adjacent two fixed columns 1, wave-shaped beam plates 4 and horizontal connecting beams 5 form a parallelogram structure, allowing the wave-shaped beam plate 4 to translate to one side of the fixed column 1 when a collision occurs.

[0036] The inner side surface of the buffer connecting sleeve 503 is fixedly connected with the fixed limiting block 504, and the outer side surface of the fixed column 1 is surrounded by a plurality of limiting buffer plates 3.

[0037] When the corrugated beam plate 4 translates to one side of the fixed column 1 due to the collision, the buffer connecting sleeve 503 is driven to rotate around the fixed column 1, so that the fixed limiting block 504 hits the multiple limiting buffer plates 3 in turn, causing the limiting buffer plates 3 to deform, break and fall off.

[0038] In the embodiment, the rotating connecting sleeve 6 of the guardrail is arranged at the inner end of the horizontal connecting beam 5, so that the corrugated beam plate 4 can rotate relative to the horizontal connecting beam 5, the buffer connecting sleeve 503 is nested on the outer side of the fixed column 1, and the outer end of the horizontal connecting beam 5 is rotationally connected with the fixed column 1 through the buffer connecting sleeve 503, so that a parallelogram structure is formed between the multiple fixed columns 1, the corrugated beam plate 4 and the horizontal connecting beam 5. When a collision occurs, the corrugated beam plate 4 deforms to absorb part of the energy and naturally translates to one side of the fixed column 1, while the fixed limiting block 504 is fixedly connected on the inner side of the buffer connecting sleeve 503, and the multiple limiting buffer plates 3 are connected around the outer side of the fixed column 1. Therefore, when the corrugated beam plate 4 translates to one side of the fixed column 1, the buffer connecting sleeve 503 is driven to rotate around the fixed column 1, and then the fixed limiting block 504 hits the multiple limiting buffer plates 3 in turn, so that the multiple limiting buffer plates 3 deform, break and fall off to absorb the impact energy and buffer, greatly enhancing the energy absorption capacity of the whole system.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 Preferably, when the guardrail collides, the fixed limiting block 504 hits the multiple limiting buffer plates 3 in turn, causing the multiple limiting buffer plates 3 to deform, break and fall off, and at the same time extruding the fan-shaped collapse box 301, so that the fan-shaped collapse box 301 deforms and collapses along the collapse reserved groove 302 to absorb energy and buffer through the buffer gasket 303, which can more effectively disperse and absorb the impact energy and reduce the impact force on the vehicle and passengers.

After each collision, the damaged fixed buffer sleeve 2 and the limiting buffer plate 3 thereon can be quickly replaced to ensure that the anti-collision guardrail system is always in the best working condition. Since the fixed stand column 1 itself does not need to be frequently replaced and is difficult to replace, by designing only the fixed buffer sleeve 2 and the limiting buffer plate 3 need to be updated regularly, the repair work can be completed in a short time, the road closure time and traffic interruption caused by construction are reduced, and the traffic management efficiency is improved.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, preferably, the inner side of the corrugated beam plate 4 of the guardrail is horizontally provided with a connecting bracket 402, and the corrugated beam plate 4 is connected with the horizontal connecting beam 5 through the connecting bracket 402, so that the corrugated beam plate 4 can be more stably connected with the horizontal connecting beam 5 through the connecting bracket 402, ensuring the connection strength and reliability between the two. The front and rear ends of the corrugated beam plate 4 are both provided with a piercing prevention end head 401, which prevents the vehicle from being pierced by the sharp end of the corrugated beam plate 4 during collision, reducing the risk of secondary injury to the people in the vehicle. The outer side of the corrugated beam plate 4 is provided with a reflective sign 403, which improves the visibility of the corrugated beam plate 4 at night or in low-visibility conditions, helping the driver to more easily identify the position of the guardrail, thereby reducing the incidence of traffic accidents.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, preferably, the inner end of the horizontal connecting beam 5 of the guardrail is fixedly connected with a rotating connection shaft 501, and the middle of the connecting bracket 402 is fixedly connected with a rotating connection sleeve 6, and the rotating connection shaft 501 is nested and rotatingly arranged inside the rotating connection sleeve 6, so that the horizontal connecting beam 5 is rotatingly connected with the connecting bracket 402 through the rotating connection shaft 501 and the rotating connection sleeve 6.

[0044] The wave-shaped beam plate 4 can not only plastically deform to absorb energy when colliding, but also can translate to one side of the fixed column 1, the translation movement drives the buffer connecting sleeve 503 to rotate around the fixed column 1, so that the fixed limiting block 504 impacts the plurality of limiting buffer plates 3 in turn, causing the latter to deform, break and fall off, thereby greatly enhancing the energy absorption capacity of the whole system.
