Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road traffic safety facilities, specifically to a warning component for a wave-shaped guardrail post. Background Technology

[0002] Corrugated guardrails are common traffic safety protection facilities on highways, national and provincial roads, used to prevent vehicles from running off the road or colliding with other vehicles during a collision. However, traditional corrugated guardrail posts only serve to install and support the guardrail panels, with a relatively simple function. They are usually installed far from the sides of the road and behind the guardrail panels. The posts are obstructed by the guardrail panels, resulting in limited structural visibility. Moreover, the warning effect of traditional corrugated guardrails on oncoming vehicles is not ideal. In low visibility conditions such as at night or in bad weather, it is inconvenient for drivers to observe and judge the specific location and corresponding height of the corrugated guardrails, increasing the risk of collision accidents. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a warning component for corrugated guardrail posts. This component has high ease of installation and applicability. It can be easily installed on the posts arranged at intervals on the corrugated guardrail while further improving the visibility of the post structure. This makes it easier for vehicle drivers to observe and judge the specific location of the corrugated guardrail and its posts, as well as the corresponding height of the corrugated guardrail. This further enhances the warning effect of this type of corrugated guardrail on oncoming vehicles and reduces the probability of collision accidents.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is:

[0005] A warning assembly for a wave-shaped guardrail post includes a fixing seat for mounting on the top of the post, a connecting cylinder sleeved on the fixing seat, and a cover covering the top of the connecting cylinder.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0021] See Figure 1-2 This embodiment relates to a warning component for a wave-shaped guardrail post 100, including a fixing seat 1 for mounting on the top of the post 100, a connecting cylinder 2 sleeved on it, and a cover 3 covering the top of the connecting cylinder 2. The upper and lower ends of the fixing seat 1 are respectively provided with outer edge plates 11 for the connecting cylinder 2 and the post 100 to be sleeved. A reflective film 4 is pasted on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2.

[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2The diagram shows the overall structure and disassembly of the warning component for this type of corrugated guardrail post 100. In real-time use, the fixing seat 1 can be installed and fixed through the outer edge plate 11 at the lower end of the fixing seat 1 on the opening 101 at the top of the post 100. At the same time, the connecting cylinder 2 on the fixing seat 1 can be installed and fixed through the outer edge plate 11 at the upper end of the fixing seat 1. Before installation, reflective film 4 can be pasted on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2. Finally, the cover 3 can be fitted and covered with the top of the connecting cylinder 2 to complete the installation process of this warning component on the corrugated guardrail post 100. Specifically, the structure of this warning component can be customized according to the installation requirements and the number of corrugated guardrail posts 100 across the corresponding span. This includes the preparatory process of assembling the corresponding number of fixing seats 1, connecting cylinders 2, and their upper covers 3. This further improves the structural applicability, installation convenience, and efficiency of this warning component on the corrugated guardrail posts 100. Furthermore, the addition of this warning component to the top of the post 100 further enhances the visibility of the post 100 structure. Combined with the reflective film 4 affixed to the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2, it facilitates the driver's observation and judgment of the specific location and height of the corrugated guardrail and its posts 100. This further enhances the warning effect of this type of corrugated guardrail on oncoming vehicles, reducing the probability of collision accidents. Moreover, the reflective film 4 pasted on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2 has higher ease of application and efficiency compared to the reflective paper traditionally pasted on the corrugated guardrail. In addition, the height and spacing of multiple sets of posts 100 on a certain span of corrugated guardrail also have a high degree of uniformity in the positional arrangement and the resulting warning effect, making it easier for vehicle drivers to observe and judge. Furthermore, the fixing seat 1, connecting cylinder 2, and cover 3 in this warning component can all be manufactured by injection molding or 3D printing in one piece, which facilitates manufacturing and further saves on usage costs.

[0023] The outer edge plate 11 located above the base of the fixed seat 1 has multiple sets of spaced grooves 111 arranged around it, and a first pin plate 12 extends upward from the outer edge plate 11 placed in the grooves 111. The connecting cylinder 2 and the first pin plate 12 are respectively provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 110, which allows the connecting cylinder 2 to slide up and down around the outer edge plate 11 above the base of the fixed seat 1. Specifically, from... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As can be seen, the snap-fit ​​structure 110 includes a first snap-fit ​​plate 21 and a first pin plate 12 respectively provided on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 2, with multiple sets of first snap-fit ​​grooves 121 arranged at intervals for snap-fit ​​plate adaptation and snap-fit. Specifically, when the connecting cylinder 2 on the fixed seat 1 is in the position of Figure 1In the indicated state, the position of the first snap-fit ​​plate 21 is set on the first slot 121 at the lowest point on the first pin plate 12, so that the installation can be carried out according to the specific height of the post 100 on the corrugated guardrail. Figure 5 In the example state, the connecting cylinder 2 is engaged in the first slot 121 at different heights on the first pin plate 12 through the first snap-fit ​​plate 21. This allows for height adjustment during the sliding process on the outer edge plate 11 at the upper end of the fixed base 1. The connecting cylinder 2 installed on the fixed base 1 using this connection method is convenient for installation and disassembly. At the same time, it can be adjusted to an appropriate height according to the specific height of the upright 100 on the corrugated guardrail. It has high flexibility and applicability. It ensures that the connecting cylinder 2 is higher than the upper edge of the corrugated guardrail so that the reflective film 4 pasted on its outer wall is not blocked. This further improves the warning effect and stability of this warning component and meets different installation requirements.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer edge plate 11 located below the base of the fixed seat 1 is either arc-shaped or square. It includes multiple sets of second pin plates 13 arranged at intervals extending downward along the base of the fixed seat 1, and the second pin plates 13 are provided with second snap-fit ​​structures 120. The outer edge plate 11 located below the base of the fixed seat 1 can be arc-shaped or square according to the specific shape of the post 100. At the same time, the positions of multiple sets of second pin plates 13 are arranged in the corresponding positions according to its shape. Combined with the second snap-fit ​​structures 120 with multiple sets of ridge grooves 131 provided on the second pin plates 13, the connection effect between the fixed seat 1 and the top opening 101 of the post 100 can be further improved, and the structural flexibility and applicability of this type of wave guardrail post 100 warning component can be further improved.

[0025] It also includes a locking assembly 5, which includes a connecting rod 51 slidably disposed on the fixed base 1, a handle 52 rotatably disposed on the connecting rod 51 at its top end within the fixed base 1, and a connecting plate 53 connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 51. The connecting plate 53 includes a base plate 531 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 51, and multiple sets of bent plates 532 on both sides of the base plate 531 extending to a certain angle away from the second pin plate 13 and slidingly disposed within the grooves 132 provided on the second pin plate 13. Figure 2-4As can be seen, during the initial installation phase, the locking assembly 5 can be installed between the second pin plates 13 of the fixed base 1. The connecting rod 51 adopts a threaded rod structure and can be fixedly connected to the connecting plate 53 by welding or 3D printing. The head of the connecting rod 51 can be inserted through the mounting hole 14 on the fixed base 1. At this time, the head of the connecting rod 51, which extends upward through the mounting hole 14, can be connected by a rotating handle 52 with a bolt connection structure. By rotating the rotating handle 52, the connecting rod 51 and its bottom connecting plate 53 move upward along the fixed base 1. During the movement, the bent plates 532 on both sides of the base plate 531, which unfold to a certain angle, can be placed in the sliding groove 132 provided on the second pin plate 13 for position limitation. When the fixed base 1 is installed on the top opening 101 of the column 100, the multiple sets of second pin plates 13 and connecting plates 53 below the fixed base 1 can be located inside the cavity of the column 100. When the bottom of the fixed seat 1 is in contact with the upper end face of the opening 101 at the top of the column 100, the rotatable handle 52 can be rotated to make the connecting rod 51 and its bottom connecting plate 53 continue to move upward along the sliding groove 132 on the second pin plate 13. At the same time, during the movement, multiple sets of bending plates 532 are set on both sides of the base plate 531 in a direction away from the second pin plate 13 to a certain angle. This allows the multiple sets of second pin plates 13 in the cavity of the column 100 to have a certain tension along the periphery of the column 100 under the action of the bending plates 532, thereby achieving the effect of locking the fixed seat 1 in position. After locking, the cover 3 can be placed on the top of the connecting cylinder 2. The addition of the locking component 5 on the fixed seat 1 can further improve the connection effect and positional stability between the fixed seat 1 and the column 100. At the same time, this warning component can also have a certain anti-theft effect, reducing the occurrence of falling off and the situation of unauthorized personnel removing and reselling it.

[0026] The second pin plate 13, which is placed in the groove 132 and contacts the bending plate 532, also has multiple sets of ribs 133 arranged at intervals on its corresponding wall surface. Specifically, from... Figure 3 As can be seen, the rib 133 can be selectively added according to the specific shape of the second pin plate 13. The rib 133 can further improve the structural strength of the second pin plate 13 and the sliding effect of the bent plates 532 on both sides of the base plate 531 in the connecting plate 53 within the groove 132. It can effectively avoid the further wear caused by the direct contact between the bent plates 532 and the corresponding wall surface of the second pin plate 13, improve the structural stability and performance of the second pin plate 13 and the connecting plate 53, and appropriately extend the service life.

[0027] The outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2 is also fitted with a connecting frame 6 for pressing the edge of the reflective film 4. The connecting frame 6 adopts a split structure and is arranged in two sets, which includes two sets of arc-shaped plates 61 fitted on the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2 and a fixing strip 62 connecting the two sets of arc-shaped plates 61. For details, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, after the reflective film 4, cut to the appropriate size, is pasted onto the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2, the connecting frame 6 can be immediately installed on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2. Specifically, the two sets of arc-shaped plates 61, located on the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2, can respectively cover and press the upper and lower edges of the reflective film 4. At the same time, the fixing strip 62 between the two sets of arc-shaped plates 61 can be located at the connection positions at both ends of the reflective film 4 to cover and press it. The fixing strip 62 and the two sets of connecting frames 6 can be connected and fixed by ultrasonic secondary welding through the connection of the two sets of arc-shaped plates 61, so that the connecting frame 6 can be pressed and fixed to the edge of the reflective film 4 on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2. Thus, with the addition of the connecting frame 6, the efficiency can be further improved. The high reflective film 4 adheres well to the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2, ensuring good adhesion and stability. It is less prone to curling or even falling off, thus improving the effectiveness and stability of the warning component for this type of wave-shaped guardrail post 100. In addition, the position setting of the fixing strip 62 between the two sets of arc plates 61 does not affect the driver's normal observation and judgment of the reflective film 4 or cause any visual obstruction. Furthermore, the two sets of fixing strips 62 on the two sets of connecting frames 6 have a maximum spacing on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 2. This can be adjusted according to the specific installation position and the rotation angle of the connecting cylinder 2 on the fixing seat 1 during installation, so that the driver has the best visual wide angle when observing. The position setting of the fixing strip 62 can also play a certain visual guiding role.

[0028] The lower part of the cover 3 is provided with a second outer edge plate 31 for fitting the connecting cylinder 2, and a third pin plate 32 extends downward along the connecting cylinder 2 on the second outer edge plate 31. A third snap-fit ​​structure 130 is provided between the second outer edge plate 31 of the cover 3 and the connecting cylinder 2. Specifically, from... Figure 2As can be seen, the cover 3 can be installed on the top of the connecting cylinder 2 by means of the second outer edge plate 31 provided below it. At the same time, the third pin plate 32 extended from the second outer edge plate 31 is located in the cavity of the connecting cylinder 2 and fits against its inner wall. When the cover 3 is installed, it can be fixed by means of the third snap-fit ​​structure 130 formed by the multiple sets of second snap-fit ​​plates 311 provided at the corresponding positions of the second outer edge plate 31 of the cover 3 and the multiple sets of second snap-fit ​​grooves 22 provided at the corresponding positions of the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 2. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the cover 3 and further improves the connection effect and connection stability between the cover 3 and the connecting cylinder 2, and further improves the overall structural strength and use effect of this kind of wave guardrail post 100 warning component.
