[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a multi-level buffer structure for a high-speed guardrail, comprising two connecting plates 1 and a guardrail body 13, wherein sleeves 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the rear connecting plate 1, and the inner bottom wall buffer mechanism of the two sleeves 2.
[0032] The buffer mechanism includes two pads 3, both of which are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the sleeve 2. A buffer spring A4 is fixedly connected to the front end of each of the two pads 3. Movable pressure handles 5 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rear end of the front connecting plate 1. Connecting flanges 6 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the outer walls of the two sleeves 2. Guide rods 7 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two connecting flanges 6. Two collars 8 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the guide rods 7. First adjusting members 9 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two collars 8. Connecting rods 10 are rotatably connected to the middle of the plurality of first adjusting members 9. Second adjusting members 11 are rotatably connected to the ends of the plurality of connecting rods 10 away from the first adjusting members 9. A buffer spring B12 is fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two collars 8. An energy-absorbing component is provided on the inner wall of the guardrail body 13. The two movable pressure handles 5 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 2. The ends of the plurality of second adjusting members 11 away from each other are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the connecting plate 1.
[0033] Specifically: By compressing the buffer springs A4 and B12, the elasticity of the springs can be used to gradually slow down and absorb the collision energy.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The energy-absorbing component includes a buffer plate 14, which is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the guardrail body 13. A second buffer layer 15 is fixedly connected to the front end of the buffer plate 14, and a first buffer layer 16 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second buffer layer 15. Rubber plates 18 are fixedly connected to the front ends of both the left and right sides of the guardrail body 13. A plurality of evenly distributed compression springs 17 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the buffer plate 14, and the ends of the plurality of compression springs 17 away from the buffer plate 14 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the guardrail body 13.
[0035] Specifically: By fixing rubber plates 18 to the front ends of both sides of the guardrail body 13, a portion of the impact energy can be absorbed when the buffer plate 14 is impacted and moves backward.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 A fixed post 19 is provided at the rear end of the middle part of the guardrail body 13, and a fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to the front end of the middle part of the fixed post 19; a buffer folding airbag A21 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed plate 20, and the front end of the buffer folding airbag A21 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the rear end connecting plate 1; brackets 22 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the fixed post 19, and buffer folding airbags B23 are fixedly connected to the front end of both brackets 22, and fastening bolts 24 are threadedly connected to the middle part of both brackets 22.
[0037] Specifically: By placing buffer folding airbags A21 and B23 between the bracket 22 and the connecting plate, the remaining collision energy can continue to be absorbed.
[0038] Working principle: The device uses a second buffer layer 15 and a first buffer layer 16 installed on the top of a buffer plate 14 that slides inside the guardrail body 13. When a vehicle collides, the first buffer layer 16 first absorbs the collision energy, reducing the direct impact of the collision force on the guardrail body 13. When the first buffer layer 16 absorbs a certain amount of energy, the second buffer layer 15 continues to play its role, further absorbing the collision energy and reducing the damage to the vehicle and its occupants.
[0039] Then, two sleeves 2 are installed between two connecting plates 1 fixed at the rear end of the guardrail body 13, and a buffer spring A4 is installed inside the sleeve 2. At the same time, a guide rod 7 is fixed on the adjacent side of the two sleeves 2 through a connecting flange 6, and two collars 8 sliding on the guide rod 7 are connected by a buffer spring B12. Meanwhile, the first angle adjustment piece 9 installed on the outer wall of the two collars 8 are connected to the second adjustment piece 11 fixed on the connecting plate 1 through a connecting rod 10. Thus, when the guardrail body 13 is impacted, the buffer spring A4 is squeezed by the movable pressure handle 5, and the two collars 8 squeeze the buffer spring B12 inward, which can gradually reduce and absorb the collision energy.
[0040] Finally, by setting buffer folding airbags A21 and B23 between the bracket 22 and the connecting plate, the remaining collision energy can continue to be absorbed. Through this multi-level buffer structure, the damage to the vehicle and occupants from the collision can be effectively reduced.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
