[0014] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the end cap. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an end cap for an aluminum alloy guardrail includes a cover plate 1 for covering the guardrail break. One side of the cover plate 1 has a connecting portion 11 that abuts against and fits with the outer wall of the guardrail. The other side of the cover plate 1 is flush with the edge of the guardrail break. The connecting portion is integrally formed with the cover plate and is fixed to the outside of the guardrail, fitting snugly against the outer wall of one side of the guardrail. The edge of the other side of the cover plate remains flush with and aligned with the edge of the guardrail break, preventing it from protruding and obstructing the transport of goods, ensuring normal transport of goods, and simultaneously covering the guardrail break to prevent scratches to workers, goods, or their packaging. The middle part of section 11 is provided with a recessed part 111 that runs along the length of the guardrail and matches the recess on the outer wall of the guardrail. The recessed part 111 is provided with at least one screw hole 112 for screws to pass through. The cross section of the guardrail has a recess that fits into the recessed part. After the cover plate is installed, the recessed part is locked in the recess of the guardrail cross section, so that the guardrail and the end cover are radially positioned relative to each other, ensuring the accurate installation of the relative positions of the guardrail and the end cover. At the same time, the connecting part and the end cover can be tightened to the side wall of the guardrail by screwing screws into the screw holes, thereby reliably fixing the end cover at the guardrail cross section.

[0017] like Figure 1As shown, the connecting part 11 has positioning parts 12 at both sides of its edges that mate with the side walls of the guardrail and connect with the end face of the cover plate 1. The positioning parts are formed at both sides of the connecting part to position the side walls of the guardrail. The inner side of the positioning part 12 has a mating surface 120 that abuts against the outer wall of the guardrail. The mating surface fits tightly against the outer wall of the guardrail to ensure accurate positioning of the guardrail and the end cover. The inner side of the positioning part 12 has a first groove 121 and a second groove 122 that are spaced apart vertically. The first groove and the second groove can reduce material usage, lower costs and reduce weight. A partition 123 is formed between the first groove 121 and the second groove 122. The partition strengthens the structural strength of the positioning part and ensures the reliability of the positioning part for the guardrail.

[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, vertical plates 13 are provided on the end face of the cover plate 1 near the two positioning parts 12, located inside the inner cavity of the guardrail. Both sides of the vertical plates 13 abut against the inner wall of the guardrail cavity. After the end cap is assembled into the guardrail break, the vertical plates are located inside the guardrail cavity. The two sides of the vertical plates fit tightly against the inner wall of the guardrail cavity, forming a positioning of the guardrail cavity and preventing the guardrail from shifting. A first gap 131 for accommodating the insertion of the guardrail side wall is provided between the side of the vertical plate 13 near the connecting part 11 and the connecting part 11. A second gap 132 for accommodating the guardrail side wall is provided between the other side of the vertical plate 13 and the edge of the cover plate 1. The setting of the first gap and the second gap allows the side wall of the guardrail to be inserted into the first gap and the second gap to form a positioning of the guardrail, ensuring the accurate position of the guardrail and improving assembly efficiency. A notch 113 is provided on the connecting part 11 at the position corresponding to the gap 131. The notch is set to facilitate the processing of the first gap and to reduce material costs and product weight.

[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, on the end face of the cover plate 1, there are two positioning strips 14 that are parallel to each other and arranged parallel to the vertical plates 13 between the two vertical plates 13. One end of the positioning strip 14 is connected to the connecting part 11, and the other end of the positioning strip 14 is provided with a third gap 141 between the edge of the cover plate 1 for accommodating the side wall of the guardrail. The positioning strip is located between the two vertical plates, which can increase the positioning of the guardrail break. The guardrail break has a notch, and the positioning strip can be locked at the guardrail break. Together with the third gap, it increases the positioning of the guardrail and the end cover, and strengthens the stability and reliability of the assembled end cover. At the same time, the positioning strip is connected to the connecting part, which can strengthen the structural stability of the connecting part, thereby strengthening the overall structural stability of the end cover.

[0020] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
