It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a solar-powered lighting guardrail, suitable for various scenarios such as municipal guardrails, highway guardrails, and garden guardrails. This embodiment includes: a post 1, an upper guardrail 2, a vertical guardrail 3, a lower guardrail 4, and a solar panel 5; the post 1 includes: an end cap 11 and a post body 12; the upper guardrail 2 includes: an upper guardrail end 21, a transparent cover 22, an upper guardrail railing 23, and an upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24; the vertical guardrail 3 includes: a vertical railing 31 and a light assembly 32; the lower guardrail 4 includes: a lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41, a lower guardrail railing 42, and a lower guardrail end 43; the solar panel 5 includes: a first solar panel 51 and a second solar panel 52. Adjacent columns 1 are connected by horizontally arranged upper guardrails 2 and lower guardrails 4, which are parallel to each other; the upper guardrails 2 and lower guardrails 4 are connected by vertical guardrails 3, and the two ends of the vertical guardrails 3 are fixedly connected to the upper guardrails 2 and lower guardrails 4 by a rolling process; solar panels 5 are installed on columns 1 and upper guardrails 2.

[0043] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 As shown, the column 12 is installed vertically on the ground. A second solar panel 52 and an end cap 11 are installed on the top of the column 12. The shape of the second solar panel 52 is adapted to the top of the column 12. The end cap 11 covers the outside of the second solar panel 52 to prevent damage to the second solar panel 52. The upper guardrail 23 has upper guardrail end caps 21 at both ends, which are connected to the side of the column 12 of the column 1. The upper side of the upper guardrail 23 is equipped with a first solar panel 51 and a transparent cover 22. The first solar panel 51 is embedded in the upper side of the upper guardrail 23 and is flush with the upper side of the upper guardrail 23, so as to avoid the first solar panel 51 affecting the aesthetics when viewed from the side. The transparent cover 22 covers the outside of the solar panel 51 on the upper guardrail 23. The lower guardrail 42 has lower guardrail end caps 43 at both ends, which are connected to the side of the column 12 of the column 1.

[0044] The upper guardrail 23 is provided with an upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 below it, and the lower guardrail 42 is provided with a lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41 above it. The two ends of the vertical guardrail 31 are respectively connected to the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 of the upper guardrail 2 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41 of the lower guardrail 4.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, connecting holes 33 are provided at both ends of the vertical railing 31. A rolled block 241 is provided near the vertical railing 31 on the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41. The rolled block 241 is pressed into the connecting holes 33 through a rolling process to fix the vertical railing 31 to the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41. An installation groove 242 is provided at the connection point between the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41 and the vertical railing 31. The vertical railing 31 is inserted into the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41 along the installation groove 242. Each end of each vertical railing 31 requires two installation grooves 242 for clearance. The reinforcing rib section between the two installation grooves 242 abuts against the inner side of the vertical railing 31 along the diameter direction, further preventing the vertical railing 31 from swaying.

[0046] In one embodiment, each end of the vertical railing 31 has a pair of symmetrical connecting holes 33 on both sides along the diameter direction, and a pair of rolled blocks 241 that mate with the pair of connecting holes 33 are provided on the upper railing reinforcing rib 24 or the lower railing reinforcing rib 41. There are multiple vertical railings 31 connected to the upper railing reinforcing rib 24 or the lower railing reinforcing rib 41, that is, there are multiple pairs of corresponding rolled blocks 241.

[0047] In one embodiment, light groups 32 are spaced apart on the vertical railing 31. The light groups 32 are connected to and powered by a first solar panel 51. The wiring of the light groups 32 connected to the first solar panel 51 is hidden in the upper guardrail 2 and the vertical guardrail 3. A through groove is provided on the post 1. A lighting component is installed in the through groove. The lighting component is connected to and powered by a second solar panel 52. The wiring of the lighting component connected to the second solar panel 52 is hidden in the post 1, thereby avoiding the wiring being exposed on the outside and affecting the aesthetics.

[0048] In one embodiment, the upper guardrail end 21 and the lower guardrail end 43 are rotatably mounted on the side of the column 12 via a connection method such as hinge or bolt.

[0049] In one embodiment, the end cap 11 and the transparent cover 22 are made of transparent glass or plastic.

[0050] In one embodiment, the transparent cover 22 is symmetrically arranged with the upper guardrail 23, and the two combined form a circular or elliptical cross section, further improving the aesthetics.

[0051] How the calendering process is implemented:

[0052] 1. Cut the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24, the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41, and the vertical railing 31 to the required lengths according to the drawing requirements, with the dimensional error controlled within ±0.5mm.

[0053] 2. Profile opening: The upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41 are punched with guide holes and mounting grooves 242. The position between the guide holes and the mounting grooves 242 is the rolled block 241 with a thickness exceeding the average thickness. At the same time, the connecting holes 33 are processed at both ends of the vertical railing 31 using a laser tube cutting machine.

[0054] 3. Overall positioning: Place the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24, the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41, and the vertical railing 31 on the tooling mold. The guide holes of the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41 correspond one-to-one with the connecting holes 33 of the vertical railing 31. Then, use positioning clamps to press them together to complete the positioning.

[0055] 4. Calendering and fixing: Transfer the entire positioning fixture, which has been positioned as a whole, to the punch press. Use a calendering die to calender the calendering block 241 next to the guide hole of the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41. The principle of this process is to squeeze and deform the calendering block 241 so that the material at the edge of the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24 and the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41 extends toward the mounting groove 242 (i.e., into the connection hole 33 of the vertical railing 31). The extended material just fills the connection hole 33, thereby achieving the effect of firmly fixing the upper guardrail reinforcing rib 24, the lower guardrail reinforcing rib 41 and the vertical railing 31 together.

[0056] The calendering process has the following advantages:

[0057] 1. Simple appearance: The calendering process leaves no welding marks, resulting in a clean surface and enhancing the product's aesthetics.

[0058] 2. High production efficiency: Compared with fixing methods such as screwing or welding, the calendering process has a higher processing speed, which can increase by 30%-50%.

[0059] 3. No screws required: Reduces the use of additional materials and lowers production costs.

[0060] 4. Environmentally friendly and pollution-free: It avoids harmful gases generated during welding and meets the requirements of green production.

[0061] 5. Cost reduction: Reduced manual screw-driving operations and additional material consumption reduce production costs by 20%-30%.

[0062] 6. Large-scale production: The process is simple and efficient, suitable for mass production, and meets market demand.
