Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas station technology, specifically to a gas station anti-collision guardrail. Background Technology
[0002] In the operating environment of a gas station, vehicles frequently pass by. Accidents involving vehicles colliding with gas station facilities due to driver error are not uncommon. For example, if critical areas such as fuel dispensers and fuel storage tanks in the refueling area are hit by a vehicle, it can not only cause serious damage to the gas station facilities, but may also lead to extremely dangerous consequences such as fuel leaks, fires, or even explosions. These consequences seriously threaten the lives of gas station staff and customers, as well as the safety of the surrounding environment. Therefore, it is necessary to use crash barriers to protect these facilities.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN221523413U provides a gas station anti-collision post, including an M-shaped post, a flange base, and a connector. The anti-collision post is composed of an M-shaped post and a flange base with a separable design. The M-shaped post and the flange base can be separated by disassembling the connector, and the deformed or damaged M-shaped post can be replaced, which reduces the number of steps in replacing the anti-collision post and improves the maintenance efficiency of the anti-collision post.
[0004] However, most of the existing guardrails used at gas stations are one-piece structures. Since vehicles travel relatively slowly at gas stations, when a vehicle collides with the guardrail, the one-piece structure can easily cause the vehicle body to deform and be damaged, resulting in significant property loss. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a gas station crash barrier to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art, where most existing gas station crash barriers are one-piece structures. However, since vehicles travel relatively slowly at gas stations, when a vehicle collides with the barrier, the one-piece structure can easily cause deformation and damage to the vehicle body.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gas station crash barrier, comprising:
[0007] The base has multiple sets of components arranged at intervals, and the base is equipped with alarm components.
[0008] The railing, the bottom of which is hinged to multiple sets of the aforementioned base;
[0009] A triggering component, disposed on the railing and connected to the alarm component, controls the alarm component to sound an alarm as the railing rotates along its hinge point with the base; and
[0010] A reset assembly is disposed on the base and connected to the railing to drive the railing to reset when the railing is not subjected to external force.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with a mounting flange at its bottom.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the alarm component includes an alarm light and / or a buzzer.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the hinge point between the bottom of the railing and the base is a flat surface on one side and a first inclined surface on the other side, with the flat surface abutting against the base.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the triggering component includes:
[0015] A mounting block, which can be raised and lowered, is mounted on the base. The top of the mounting block has a second inclined surface parallel to the first inclined surface. A trigger switch is mounted on the second inclined surface, abutting against the first inclined surface. The trigger switch is electrically connected to the alarm light and / or buzzer.
[0016] A first elastic element is disposed between the mounting block and the base.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the reset component includes:
[0018] The connecting rod is made of flexible material, with one end fixedly connected to the base and the other end extending into the railing; a baffle is disposed at the top of the connecting rod; and
[0019] The second elastic element is disposed between the baffle and the inner wall of the railing.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the connecting rod is provided with a connecting seat, which is screwed onto the base.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] This crash barrier is fixed to the base during use. When a pedestrian or vehicle collides with the barrier, it rotates at a certain angle along its hinge point with the base. During this initial movement, a trigger component activates an alarm to alert the driver, prompting them to instinctively stop their vehicle. This avoids damage to the vehicle's exterior caused by traditional one-piece barriers and effectively protects the gas station's facilities. It also prevents deformation, increasing the barrier's lifespan and reducing pedestrian injuries upon impact. The barrier stops rotating at its limit, effectively blocking vehicles and preventing collisions with gas station facilities. After a vehicle or pedestrian leaves the barrier, a reset component returns it to its original position for future use. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.
[0030] Example:
[0031] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, this utility model provides a gas station crash barrier, including a guardrail 8 and multiple sets of spaced-apart bases 1. A mounting flange 2 is provided at the bottom of each base 1. The bottom of the guardrail 8 is hinged to the multiple sets of bases 1. One side of the hinge point between the bottom of the guardrail 8 and the base 1 is a flat surface, and the other side is a first inclined surface 9, with the flat surface abutting against the base 1. In use, the crash barrier can be installed on the ground via the mounting flange 2. When the guardrail 8 is impacted by a vehicle or pedestrian, the guardrail 8 can rotate inward at a certain angle until the first inclined surface 9 abuts against the top plane of the base 1, at which point it can no longer rotate.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, an alarm component is provided on the base 1, which includes an alarm light 3 and / or a buzzer 4. A trigger component connected to the alarm component is provided on the railing 8. The trigger component controls the alarm component to sound an alarm when the railing 8 rotates along its hinge point with the base 1. The trigger component includes a liftable mounting block 5 mounted on the base 1. A second inclined surface 10 parallel to the first inclined surface 9 is provided on the top of the mounting block 5. A trigger switch 6 abuts against the first inclined surface 9 is provided on the second inclined surface 10. The trigger switch 6 is electrically connected to the alarm light 3 and / or the buzzer 4. A first elastic member 7 is provided between the mounting block 5 and the base 1.
[0033] When the guardrail 8 moves due to impact from a vehicle or pedestrian, it rotates along its hinge point with the base 1. During this rotation, the first inclined surface 9 abuts against the trigger switch 6, activating the warning light 3 and / or buzzer 4 to alert the driver and pedestrians. The arrangement of the second inclined surface 10 allows the first inclined surface 9 to better abut against the trigger switch 6, and the continued rotation of the guardrail 8 pushes the mounting block 5 downwards, compressing the first elastic element 7. The arrangement of the first elastic element 7 allows the mounting block 5 to return to its original position. When the first inclined surface 9 abuts against the top plane of the base 1, the guardrail 8 stops moving, transforming the crash barrier from flexible to rigid protection for effective protection of the facilities within the gas station.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a reset assembly connected to the railing 8 is provided on the base 1. The reset assembly drives the railing 8 to reset when it is not subjected to external force. The reset assembly includes a flexible connecting rod 11. One end of the connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the other end extends into the railing 8. A baffle 13 is provided on the top of the connecting rod 11, and a second elastic element 14 is provided between the baffle 13 and the inner wall of the railing 8.
[0035] During the rotation of the railing 8, relative movement occurs between the railing 8 and the connecting rod 11, thereby compressing the second elastic element 14 through the baffle 13. After the impact is recovered, the railing 8 returns to its original position under the action of the second elastic element 14, ready for subsequent use. A connecting seat 12 is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 11, which is screwed onto the base 1. The connecting seat 12 facilitates the replacement of the connecting rod 11 and the second elastic element 14.
[0036] The specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0037] When in use, the crash barrier is fixed to the base. When a pedestrian or vehicle collides with the barrier 8, the barrier 8 can rotate at a certain angle along its hinge point with the base 1. During the movement of the barrier 8, an alarm component can be triggered to alert the driver, allowing the driver to subconsciously stop the vehicle. This avoids damage to the vehicle's exterior caused by traditional one-piece barriers, while also effectively protecting the facilities within the gas station. It also prevents deformation of the barrier, increasing its lifespan and reducing injuries to pedestrians who collide with it. The barrier 8 cannot rotate further when it reaches its limit position, effectively blocking vehicles and preventing them from colliding with gas station facilities. After the vehicle or pedestrian leaves the barrier 8, a reset component can be used to reset the barrier 8 for future use.
[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to this utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
