[0035] In view of the problem that the traditional guard components in the prior art have complex emergency unlocking components, this utility model proposes an edge protection device.

[0036] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This embodiment discloses an edge protection device. Figure 1 The entire three-dimensional structure of the edge protection device is shown. Figure 2 The disassembled structure of the edge protection device is shown.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The edge protection device of this utility model includes: a base 2, two columns 1 mounted on the base 2, a square tube 4 positioned between the two columns 1, and a sensing component mounted on the square tube 4. The sensing component includes: a sensor 5, a battery panel, and a warning device. The sensor 5 and the battery panel are mounted on the square tube 4. The sensor 5 is used to detect objects approaching the edge work area. The battery panel provides power to the sensor 5 and the warning device. A warning light 7 is installed at a prominent and easily obstructed location on the top of the columns 1. The warning light 7 should be electrically connected to the sensor 5 to ensure that when the sensor 5 detects someone approaching, the warning light 7 immediately flashes brightly. The warning light 7 is designed to be waterproof and dustproof, equipped with a high-brightness LED light source, and remains clearly visible even in adverse weather conditions. It also features automatic brightness adjustment, automatically adjusting brightness according to ambient light for energy saving. The sensor 5 should be installed in a position that effectively detects personnel activity in the edge area and ensures its stable installation, preventing external interference. Subsequently, a battery board is installed near sensor 5 to ensure that the battery board provides stable power support for sensor 5, warning light 7, etc. The battery board and sensor 5 are electrically connected by wires to ensure smooth power transmission.

[0039] Furthermore, connectors 3 are provided at both ends of the square tube 4, which are used to fix the square tube 4 between the two columns 1. Connectors 3 are installed on the left and right sides of the columns 1 to ensure that the connectors 3 are firmly connected to the columns 1 and are accurately positioned. The connectors 3 not only ensure the stability of the structure, but also facilitate the installation and disassembly of the square tube 4, providing convenience for equipment maintenance and upgrades. The connectors 3 are designed with high-strength materials, capable of withstanding large external impacts, ensuring the safety and reliability of the entire device.

[0040] Furthermore, the square tube 4 includes: a first telescopic tube 401 and a second telescopic tube 402; wherein, the first telescopic tube 401 passes through the second telescopic tube 402; a plurality of first bolt holes are provided on the first telescopic tube 401, and a second bolt hole matching the first bolt holes is provided on the second telescopic tube 402; a pin is inserted between the first bolt holes and the second bolt holes, and the length of the square tube 4 can be adjusted by changing the positions of the first bolt holes and the second bolt holes. The telescopic design of the square tube 4 allows the length of the entire device to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. The optimal performance can be achieved by adjusting the lengths of the first telescopic tube 401 and the second telescopic tube 402 according to the height requirements of the site environment. At the same time, the pin design ensures the stability of the first telescopic tube 401 and the second telescopic tube 402 after adjustment. Furthermore, the square tube 4 is made of lightweight, high-strength materials to reduce overall weight while ensuring structural strength.

[0041] Furthermore, a third bolt hole is provided on the base 2, and an anchor bolt is inserted into the bolt hole to fix the base 2 to the ground. The column 1 and the base 2 are fixed together by welding or bolting to ensure that the base 2 is stable and does not wobble. The third bolt hole is drilled on the base 2 so that the device can be fixed to the ground with anchor bolts later. The anchor bolts not only enhance the connection strength between the base 2 and the ground, but also make the entire device more firmly fixed to the ground during installation, avoiding tipping or displacement caused by external forces.

[0042] Furthermore, slots 8 are provided on the two columns 1, and kick plates 9 are inserted into the slots 8; the kick plates 9 are L-shaped. Warning signs are provided on the front of the kick plates 9, and the bottom of the kick plates 9 is flush with the top of the base 2. Conspicuous warning signs, such as "Caution" and "Do Not Approach," are sprayed on the front of the kick plates 9 to further enhance the warning effect. The bottom of the kick plates 9 is flush with the top of the base 2, ensuring the overall aesthetics and stability of the device. This not only makes the entire device look neater and more beautiful, but also avoids safety hazards caused by the height difference between the kick plates 9 and the base 2. Construction personnel will not trip or be injured due to the height of the kick plates 9, thereby improving the overall safety of the device.

[0043] Furthermore, sensor 5 is an infrared human proximity sensor 5, used to detect whether anyone is approaching the work area near the edge. The warning device includes: a warning light 7 and an alarm located to one side of the warning light 7. The warning light 7 emits light based on the information detected by the sensor; the alarm emits an audible alarm based on the information detected by the sensor. Different alarm sounds can be selected to further enhance the warning effect, depending on actual needs. This allows the entire device to intelligently sense the approach of a person and issue a warning signal when necessary for safety. When someone approaches, sensor 5 immediately triggers the warning light 7 and the alarm, thereby alerting people or prompting them to take necessary protective measures. The sensing device and alarm improve the overall safety performance of the device.

[0044] Furthermore, the solar panel is a solar panel 6. The sensing device and alarm can be charged and powered by solar energy, thus realizing a green and environmentally friendly energy utilization method. The presence of solar panel 6 not only reduces dependence on and consumption of traditional energy sources, but also lowers the operating and maintenance costs of the entire device. At the same time, solar panel 6 also has advantages such as long lifespan and stable performance, ensuring the reliability and stability of the entire device during long-term use.

[0045] Furthermore, to further enhance the safety and intelligence of the entire device, the sensing devices can be integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This involves connecting sensors 5, warning lights 7, alarms, and other equipment to the internet for remote monitoring and management. This not only allows for real-time monitoring of the device's operational status and safety conditions but also enables the timely detection and resolution of potential safety hazards and problems.

[0046] In summary, this device is suitable for elevator shaft protection, floor edge protection, etc. Since the telescopic tube 4 is hinged to the column 1, it can also be used for stair edge protection during construction. This device not only improves its safety performance and stability, but also realizes a green and environmentally friendly energy utilization method and an intelligent management method.

[0047] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
