[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a sloping handrail connection structure, including a column 1, a sloping handrail 2, a handrail cover 3, and a skirt board 7. The sloping handrail 2 is connected to the column 1 and the skirt board 7 via an upper spring baffle 4, a middle fixing device 5, and a lower fixing device 6. The lower fixing device 6 consists of a base 61 and a spring baffle 62. The middle fixing device 5 is used to adjust the vertical position of the sloping handrail 2. The upper spring baffle 4 is fixed to the handrail cover 3 by bolts. The base 61 of the lower fixing device 6 has a U-shaped groove design, the size of which is adapted to the bottom contour of the sloping handrail 2. The spring baffle 62 is fixed to the skirt board 7 by two bolts. The sloping handrail 2 of this structure can be connected to the lower fixing device 6 via the lower fixing device 6. The base 61 and spring baffle 62 are firmly fixed to the skirt board 7. The U-shaped groove design of the base 61 ensures a tight fit between the bottom of the inclined handrail 2 and the skirt board 7, preventing loosening or displacement. The middle fixing device 5 can firmly fix the inclined handrail 2 to the column 1, realizing precise adjustment of the vertical position of the inclined handrail 2, ensuring its stability and verticality. The upper spring baffle 4 further reinforces the connection between the handrail cover plate 3 and the inclined handrail 2 with bolts, enhancing the rigidity and lateral force resistance of the overall structure. This linkage not only improves the stability and safety of the entire inclined handrail connection structure, but also simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, making maintenance more convenient and efficient, and solving the problem of the lack of adjustment function in the traditional handrail fixing device in the prior art. This design eliminates the problems of easy loosening or displacement, while reducing maintenance costs and time consumption, and improving user experience and safety. The U-shaped groove of the base 61 tightly wraps around the bottom of the inclined handrail panel 2, ensuring its stable embedding and preventing any lateral displacement or loosening. At the same time, the spring baffle 62 is firmly installed on the skirt panel 7 by two bolts, providing additional lateral support and stability, making the entire connection more robust and reliable. This not only ensures a tight fit between the inclined handrail panel 2 and the skirt panel 7, but also absorbs vibration and impact through the elastic properties of the spring baffle 62, further enhancing the stability and safety of the overall structure. In addition, this structure simplifies the installation and disassembly process; simply tightening or loosening two bolts is sufficient to fix or remove the spring baffle 62. This greatly facilitates maintenance work and reduces maintenance costs and time. The central fixing device 5 consists of a pair of L-shaped brackets, each of which is fixed to the inclined handrail panel 2 and the post 1 by three bolts. The L-shaped brackets of the central fixing device 5 provide strong support and stability through their unique shape design, ensuring that the inclined handrail panel 2 can be firmly fixed to the post 1. The configuration of three bolts not only increases the number of connection points but also distributes the force, making the entire fixing more secure and reliable, avoiding loosening or displacement caused by excessive force at a single point. This allows for precise adjustment of the vertical position of the inclined handrail panel 2 to achieve the best installation effect. The upper spring baffle 4 is made of stainless steel with a thickness of 2mm.The upper spring baffle 4 is 30mm wide and its length is customized according to the specific specifications of the handrail cover 3. Both ends of the upper spring baffle 4 have mounting holes with a diameter of 8mm. This structure allows the upper spring baffle 4 to be firmly fixed to the handrail cover 3 by bolts passing through these 8mm mounting holes. Utilizing its elastic properties, it effectively absorbs and buffers externally applied forces, reducing vibration transmission to the handrail cover 3 and enhancing the overall stability and comfort of the structure. Furthermore, the stainless steel material of the upper spring baffle 4 not only provides excellent corrosion resistance but also ensures sufficient strength and durability, guaranteeing reliability over long-term use. This allows the upper spring baffle 4 to provide additional support and protection while maintaining a tight connection between the handrail cover 3 and the inclined handrail panel 2, preventing loosening or displacement due to external impacts or vibrations. The top of the apron panel 7 has a groove whose shape matches the bottom shape of the base 61 in the lower fixing device 6, forming... The embedded connection method allows the bottom of the base 61 to precisely embed into the groove at the top of the skirt panel 7, ensuring a stable and seamless connection between the sloping handrail panel 2 and the skirt panel 7. Therefore, this embedded design not only enhances the stability and safety of the overall structure but also prevents any possible lateral displacement or loosening through a tight fit. The handrail cover 3 has several U-shaped support members evenly distributed inside, which are bolted to the inner side of the handrail cover 3. This structure forms a robust internal support, significantly enhancing the overall rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the handrail cover. This reduces localized stress concentration, preventing deformation or damage caused by external pressure or impact. Simultaneously, it allows the handrail cover 3 to maintain its original shape and strength even after long-term use, improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.
[0019] Working principle: When using this inclined handrail connection structure, firstly, the U-shaped groove of the base 61 is precisely embedded into the groove at the top of the skirt board 7 to ensure a tight fit between the bottom of the inclined handrail 2 and the skirt board 7. Next, the spring baffle 62 is fixed to the skirt board 7 with two bolts, providing additional lateral support and stability for the entire lower fixing device 6. Then, a pair of L-shaped brackets of the middle fixing device 5 are fixed to the inclined handrail 2 and the column 1 with three bolts respectively, achieving precise adjustment of the vertical position of the inclined handrail 2. Next, the upper spring baffle 4 is firmly fixed to the handrail cover 3 with bolts through the 8mm diameter mounting holes, ensuring a stable connection between the handrail cover 3 and the inclined handrail 2. Finally, several U-shaped support members are evenly arranged inside the handrail cover 3 and connected to the inner side of the handrail cover 3 with bolts. This completes the assembly of the entire inclined handrail 2 connection structure, making the overall structure both stable and easy to maintain, thus completing a series of tasks.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
