[0045] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0046] like Figure 1-7As shown, an adjustable-width highway bridge height restriction structure includes a height restriction frame 1; it also includes: a concrete base 2, with a concrete base 2 fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the height restriction frame 1; a movable baffle 3, which is movably installed inside the concrete base 2; an adjustment mechanism 6, which is installed inside the concrete base 2 and is detachably connected to the movable baffle 3 via a locking plug 8; and a lock box 4, which is installed on the outside of the concrete base 2. The lock box 4 contains an operating mechanism 5 connected to the adjustment mechanism 6 and a pull rod 7 connected to the locking plug 8. The operating mechanism 5 is used to operate the adjustment mechanism 6, and the pull rod 7 is used to operate the locking plug 8 to lock or unlock the movable baffle 3.

[0047] The height restriction frame 1 consists of two uprights 101 and a crossbeam 102; the two uprights 101 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the left and right ends of the crossbeam 102 respectively; the height restriction frame 1 forms an inverted U-shaped structure, and plays the role of limiting height by blocking the crossbeam 102.

[0048] Movable baffle 3 Figure 4 As shown, it is a U-shaped plate.

[0049] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the adjusting mechanism 6 includes a plate 605 and a threaded sleeve 604; the threaded sleeve 604 is fixedly installed inside the cement base 2, and the threaded sleeve 604 is threadedly connected to a threaded post 601. One end of the threaded post 601 is rotatably connected to the plate 605. Two guide rods 606 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the plate 605. A first through hole 201 is opened in the cement base 2, and a guide sleeve 607 is fixedly installed in the first through hole 201. The guide sleeve 607 is slidably sleeved with the guide rods 606. A second through hole 4011 is opened in the wall of the lock box 4, which is aligned with the first through hole 201. The guide rods 606 pass through the second through hole 4011 and extend into the lock box 4.

[0050] The operating mechanism 5 includes a first gear 501 and a second gear 502; a rotating shaft 503 is rotatably installed inside the housing 401, the first gear 501 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 503, and the first gear 501 and the second gear 502 are meshed and connected, the second gear 502 is coaxially fixedly connected to the knob 504, and the knob 504 is rotatably installed inside the housing 401.

[0051] The rotating shaft 503 is coaxially arranged with the threaded column 601; a square rod 603 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 503, and the square rod 603 is connected to the square hole 602 opened at the center of the threaded column 601.

[0052] The diameter of the first gear 501 is larger than the diameter of the second gear 502.

[0053] When adjusting the movable retaining frame 3, the second gear 502 is rotated by turning the knob 504. Through the meshing transmission between the second gear 502 and the first gear 501, the rotating shaft 503 and the square rod 603 rotate together. The square rod 603 drives the threaded column 601 to rotate. The threaded column 601 and the threaded sleeve 604 are screwed together, so that the threaded column 601 can not only rotate but also move along the length direction. The threaded column 601 drives the plate 605 to move. The plate 605 is guided by the guide rod 606 and the guide sleeve 607, so that the plate 605 drives the movable retaining frame 3 to move left and right. By moving the two movable retaining frames 3, the distance between them can be adjusted, that is, the vehicle passage width can be adjusted.

[0054] The square rod 603 is connected to the square hole 602 of the threaded column 601. When the threaded column 601 moves, the square rod 603 slides with the square hole 602, which will not affect the movement of the threaded column 601.

[0055] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the distance between the two movable baffles 3 is at its minimum at this time, which is the width for vehicles to pass through under normal conditions; as Figure 5 As shown, the end of the guide rod 606 extends outward to form a baffle. The baffle contacts the inner wall of the housing 401, causing obstruction, and the movable baffle 3 cannot move inward.

[0056] In an emergency, the two movable baffles 3 can be adjusted and moved using the above-mentioned adjustment operation to increase the distance between them, thus allowing emergency vehicles to pass.

[0057] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the locking plug 8 includes a plug cylinder 801; the plug cylinder 801 and the plate body 605 form a cavity, and a pressure seat 802 is elastically installed in the cavity by a second spring 806. A locking block 803 abuts against both sides of the pressure seat 802. The locking block 803 is elastically connected to the side wall of the cavity by a first spring 804, and the locking block 803 passes through a guide hole 805 opened on the side wall of the plug cylinder 801.

[0058] The cross-section of the pressure seat 802 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the locking block 803 has an inclined surface on one side that adapts to the side wall of the pressure seat 802.

[0059] The plate 605 has an insertion hole 301 for inserting the insert cylinder 801, and both sides of the insertion hole 301 have a locking hole 302 for inserting the locking block 803.

[0060] The guide rod 606 has an elongated hole along its length. The pull rod 7 is connected to the elongated hole with a clearance fit. One end of the pull rod 7 is fixedly connected to the pressure seat 802, and the other end of the pull rod 7 is fixedly connected to an end ring 701. The end ring 701 and the end of the pull rod 7 are located inside the housing 401.

[0061] A baffle 9 is fixedly installed inside the cavity; for example... Figure 6-7 As shown.

[0062] Figure 6 In the middle, the locking plug 8 is in the locked state, the locking block 803 is inserted into the lock hole 302, the first spring 804 is in the compressed state, and the second spring 806 is also in the compressed state.

[0063] When the movable retaining frame 3 is damaged by a collision and needs to be replaced, a worker pulls the two end rings 701 with both hands, causing the pull rod 7 to move the pressure seat 802, compressing the second spring 806 and increasing its compression until the pressure seat 802 contacts the retaining post 9. After the pressure seat 802 moves, the width between the two locking blocks 803 decreases, and the locking block 803, through the compression force of the first spring 804, keeps its inclined surface in contact with the side wall of the pressure seat 802, thus allowing the locking block 803 to be pulled out of the lock hole 302, completing the unlocking. After unlocking, as... Figure 7 As shown; after unlocking, another worker removes the socket 301 from the socket 801, completing the disassembly of the movable retaining frame 3.

[0064] While maintaining the pulled end ring 701, the operator disassembles the movable retaining frame 3, inserts the new movable retaining frame 3 into the insertion hole 301 and the insertion tube 801, ensuring the movable retaining frame 3 is firmly against the plate 605. Then, the operator releases the end ring 701, and the second spring 806 pushes the pressure seat 802 to move. The pressure seat 802 then pushes the two locking blocks 803 to move, inserting them into the lock holes 302 and increasing the compression of the first spring 804, completing the locking installation. After unlocking, as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0065] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the lock box 4 includes a box body 401; an opening is provided on one side of the box body 401, and a door 402 is provided at the opening. One side of the door 402 is connected to the door 402 by a hinge 403. A door lock 404 is installed between the other side of the door 402 and the box body 401. A handle 405 is fixedly installed on the door 402.

[0066] When operating the operating mechanism 5 and the lever 7, the box door 402 must be opened so that when the movable baffle 3 moves and the guide rod 606 moves out of the box 401, there will be no obstruction.

[0067] Meanwhile, the lock box 4 not only enhances the protection but also prevents unauthorized personnel from operating it; only personnel authorized to open lock 404 can operate it.

[0068] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any changes in its shape or structure fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
