One end of the connecting ring is fixed to one end of the protective net. The sidewall of the connecting rod structure is installed inside the connecting ring. The fixing structure is installed at one end of the connecting rod. The limiting structure is penetrated by the connecting rod. The control structure is installed on the sidewall of the protective net. This invention provides a rockfall protection device for steep slopes of mountainous highways with advantages such as easy adjustment of the size of gaps in the protective net at local locations, convenient removal of fallen rocks, and prevention of continuous damage to the protective net from falling rocks.

[0004] While the aforementioned patents can achieve a certain level of protection, they still have the following shortcomings during use: because the devices are deployed outdoors for extended periods and are subject to prolonged rain erosion and corrosion, the anchor bolts are prone to loosening, which can lead to damage to other components such as the protective netting, further exacerbating safety hazards. At the same time, maintenance and repair costs increase, affecting the smooth progress of highway construction and operation.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rockfall protection device for highway construction to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that anchor bolts are prone to loosening due to prolonged exposure to rainwater erosion, which can lead to damage to other components such as protective nets, further exacerbating safety hazards, increasing maintenance and repair costs, and affecting the smooth progress of highway construction and operation.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A rockfall protection device for highway construction includes a fixing frame, reinforcing steel cables, and a protective net cover. The protective net cover is fixed to the bottom end of the fixing frame, the reinforcing steel cables are fixed inside the fixing frame, a buffer structure is provided on one side of the top of the fixing frame, mounting rings are fixed to the outer side of the fixing frame, mounting seats are inserted inside the mounting rings, anchor rods are fixed to the bottom end of the mounting seats, locking structures are provided inside the anchor rods, and nuts are fitted onto the top end of the mounting seats.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the locking structure includes a push-pull rod, a fixing tooth, a push rod, a screw block, and a screw groove. The screw groove is opened inside the top of the mounting base, and a screw block is inserted inside the screw groove.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, the rockfall protection device for highway construction proposed in this embodiment includes a fixed frame 1, a reinforcing steel cable 2 and a protective net cover 4. The protective net cover 4 is fixed to the bottom end of the fixed frame 1, the reinforcing steel cable 2 is fixed inside the fixed frame 1, a buffer structure 3 is provided on one side of the top of the fixed frame 1, and mounting rings 6 are fixed to the outer side of the fixed frame 1. Mounting seats 9 are inserted into the inside of the mounting rings 6, and anchor rods 5 are fixed to the bottom end of the mounting seats 9. A locking structure 8 is provided inside the anchor rods 5, and a nut 7 is sleeved on the top of the mounting seats 9.

[0026] Specifically, when using this rockfall protection device for highway construction, the anchor rod 5 is inserted into the ground and reinforced with the locking structure 8 to prevent it from loosening and falling off. Next, the installation ring 6 is placed on the outside of the mounting base 9, and the fixing frame 1 is placed on the ground. The installation ring 6 is then fixed to the outside of the mounting base 9 with the nut 7. The protective netting 4 is tightly attached to the slope surface to block the rock and soil, preventing rockfalls. Simultaneously, the reinforcing steel cable 2 reinforces the protective netting 4, making it less prone to breakage under stress. The buffer structure 3 also blocks falling rocks.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the locking structure 8 further includes a push-pull rod 801, a fixing tooth 802, a push rod 803, a screw block 804, and a screw groove 805. The screw groove 805 is formed inside the top of the mounting base 9. The screw block 804 is inserted into the screw groove 805. The bottom end of the screw block 804 is rotatably connected to the push-pull rod 801. The push rod 803 is hinged to both sides of the bottom end of the push-pull rod 801. The bottom end of the push rod 803 is connected to the fixing tooth 802. The outer wall of the screw block 804 is provided with an external thread, and the inside of the screw groove 805 is provided with an internal thread that cooperates with the external thread.

[0028] Specifically, when using the rockfall protection device for highway construction: after inserting the anchor rod 5 into the ground, by rotating the screw block 804, the screw block 804 moves downward through the thread inside the screw groove 805. Then, the screw block 804 pushes the push rod 801 downward, so that the push rod 801 opens the fixing tooth 802 through the push rod 803, so that the fixing tooth 802 is engaged in the rock and soil around the anchor rod 5, increasing the contact area between the anchor rod 5 and the rock and soil, making the anchor rod 5 less prone to loosening.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the buffer structure 3 further includes a connecting frame 301, a connecting rod 302, a buffer spring 303, a rubber pad 304, and a pad plate 305. The connecting rod 302 is fixed to one side of the top of the fixed frame 1. The pad plate 305 is fixed to one side of the connecting rod 302. The rubber pad 304 is fixed to one side of the pad plate 305. The connecting frame 301 is fixed to one side of the rubber pad 304. The buffer spring 303 is installed on one side of the connecting frame 301. The connecting rod 302 and the fixed frame 1 are welded together as an integral structure. The rubber pads 304 are symmetrically distributed on the vertical center line of the connecting frame 301.

[0030] Specifically, when using this rockfall protection device for highway construction: the connecting rod 302 supports the connecting frame 301, making the connecting frame 301 vertical on the slope. When rocks slide down the slope, the buffer spring 303 blocks the rocks, and the elasticity of the rubber pad 304 buffers the impact of the rocks, reducing the impact of the rocks on the device.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
