Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road crash barrier technology, specifically a multi-level energy-absorbing road crash barrier. Background Technology
[0002] Road crash barriers are crucial facilities for ensuring road traffic safety, playing a key role in various road scenarios, such as preventing vehicles from crossing boundaries, buffering collisions, and guiding drivers' routes. Their functions, classifications, structures, design requirements, and development trends are all closely related to road safety. The use of road crash barriers not only provides energy-absorbing buffering protection during impacts but also serves as a warning before collisions, thus reducing the overall accident rate. In commonly used road crash barriers, only simple reflective strips are installed on one side of the road. In practice, this may not form an effective reflective warning structure, and since road crash barriers are installed outdoors, they are exposed to dust and debris, which reduces the reflective effect of the warning strips. Therefore, road crash barriers cannot effectively serve their pre-collision warning function and cannot achieve their goal of reducing traffic accidents.
[0003] In summary, we hope to propose a new structure to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-level energy-absorbing road crash barrier to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

Each set of posts has a main warning assembly for warning at the road edge, wherein the main warning assembly has a main warning post, and several sets of main warning reflective strips in a circumferentially equally distributed manner are provided on the outside of the main warning post. A cleaning assembly for cleaning the main warning reflective strips is provided on the outside of the main warning post. Each set of posts has a set of corner warning pieces installed at the rear corner away from the center of the barrier assembly, and the energy-absorbing posts have several sets of annular warning reflective strips in a linearly equally distributed manner.
[0006] Furthermore, a stable base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the column, a rear sliding groove is opened at the rear end of the upper surface of the column, a rear slider is provided in the corner warning component, the rear slider and the rear sliding groove are movably fitted together, a corner warning seat is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rear slider, and the corner warning component installed at the corner of the column provides auxiliary warning, and the corner warning component is a structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble and is connected to the column.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface of the column is provided with a connecting threaded hole, and the main warning assembly is also provided with a connecting stud. The connecting stud is threadedly connected to the connecting threaded hole, and the connecting stud is integrally fixedly connected to the main warning column.
[0008] Furthermore, a cleaning ring groove is provided on the lower surface of the main warning column, and a set of annular ball grooves are provided on the inner sides of both the inner and outer ends of the cleaning ring groove. Several sets of balls for assisting the annular rotation of the cleaning component are movably fitted inside the annular ball grooves.
[0009] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes a cleaning slider with arc-shaped grooves on both its inner and outer sides. The cleaning slider and the cleaning ring groove are movably engaged with each other, and the sphere and the arc-shaped groove are movably engaged with each other.
[0010] Furthermore, a cleaning rod is fixedly connected below the cleaning slider. The cleaning rod has cleaning bristles at one end near the main warning post. A rotating ring seat is located below the cleaning rod. Several sets of rotating fan blades for auxiliary rotation are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating ring seat. The rotating fan blades are blown by the wind and the airflow generated by the passing vehicle, and the rotating ring seat drives the cleaning slider to rotate along the circumference of the cleaning ring groove, so that the cleaning bristles can assist in cleaning the main warning reflective strip.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper surface of the column is provided with an installation groove, and an external support frame is connected to the rear side of the column by a bolt structure. Two sets of symmetrically arranged damping shock absorbers for buffering and absorbing energy are fixedly connected to the rear side of the external support frame.
[0012] The damping shock absorber is fixedly connected to a rear cross plate, and the rear cross plate is fixedly connected to several sets of abutment seats that are linearly and equally distributed.

Several sets of energy-absorbing columns are installed in a rotating structure between two sets of columns on the left and right sides, allowing the annular warning reflective strip to provide reflective warning. Corner warning elements are installed at the corners of the two sets of columns to assist in reflective warning. The main warning component is installed above the columns, positioning the main warning reflective strip at a high position for reflective warning.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 As the first embodiment of this utility model:
[0033] A multi-level energy-absorbing road crash barrier includes: a barrier assembly 100, in which two sets of symmetrically arranged posts 102 are provided, and two sets of connecting crossbars 300 are installed between the two sets of posts 102.
[0034] Between the two sets of crossbars 300, there are several sets of energy-absorbing columns 200 that are linearly and equally distributed for energy absorption and collision prevention. Each set of columns 102 is equipped with a main warning component 500 for warning at the edge of the road. The main warning component 500 is equipped with a main warning column 502. The outer side of the main warning column 502 is equipped with several sets of main warning reflective strips 506 that are circumferentially and equally distributed.
[0035] The outer side of the main warning post 502 is provided with a cleaning component 600 for cleaning the main warning reflective strip 506. Each set of posts 102 is equipped with a set of corner warning components 400 on the side corner away from the center of the guardrail component 100 at the rear end. The energy-absorbing post 200 is provided with several sets of annular warning reflective strips 202 that are linearly and equally distributed.
[0036] A stable base 101 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the column 102. A rear sliding groove 104 is opened at the rear end of the upper surface of the column 102. A rear slider is provided in the corner warning component 400. The rear slider and the rear sliding groove 104 are movably engaged with each other. A corner warning seat is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rear slider. The corner warning component 400 installed at the corner of the column 102 provides auxiliary warning. The corner warning component 400 is connected to the column 102 with a structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble.
[0037] The upper surface of the column 102 is provided with a connecting threaded hole 109. The main warning component 500 is also provided with a connecting stud 501. The connecting stud 501 is threadedly connected to the connecting threaded hole 109, and the connecting stud 501 is integrally fixedly connected to the main warning column 502.
[0038] The lower surface of the main warning post 502 is provided with a cleaning ring groove 503. Both the inner and outer ends of the cleaning ring groove 503 are provided with a set of annular ball grooves 504. Several sets of balls 505 for assisting the cleaning component 600 to rotate in annularly are movably fitted inside the annular ball grooves 504.
[0039] The cleaning component 600 includes a cleaning slider 601. The cleaning slider 601 has arc-shaped grooves 602 on both its inner and outer sides. The cleaning slider 601 and the cleaning ring groove 503 are movably engaged with each other, and the sphere 505 and the arc-shaped groove 602 are movably engaged with each other.
[0040] A cleaning rod 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning slider 601. A cleaning brush 604 is provided at the end of the cleaning rod 603 near the main warning post 502. A rotating ring seat is provided below the cleaning rod 603. Several sets of rotating fan blades 605 for auxiliary rotation are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating ring seat. The rotating fan blades 605 are blown by the wind and the airflow generated by the passing vehicle. The rotating ring seat drives the cleaning slider 601 to rotate around the circumference of the cleaning ring groove 503, so that the cleaning brush 604 can assist in cleaning the main warning reflective strip 506.
[0041] Specifically, a set of corner warning pieces 400 are installed at the corners of the two sets of posts at both ends of the guardrail assembly 100. The corner warning pieces 400 are conveniently installed by the movable engagement of the rear slider and the rear slide groove 104. The corner warning pieces 400 provide auxiliary warnings during daily use. The energy-absorbing column 200 is provided with several sets of annular warning reflective strips 202, which can also reflect light to road pedestrians. The main warning assembly 500 is installed on the top of the post 102 by connecting studs 501 and connecting threaded holes 109. The main warning reflective strips 506 set at a high position provide an effective warning effect.
[0042] Secondly, during daily use, the fan blades 605 are rotated by the wind and the airflow generated by passing vehicles. This, in turn, causes the cleaning slider 601 to rotate around the circumference of the cleaning ring groove 503 via the rotating ring seat. This allows the cleaning bristles 604 to assist in cleaning the main warning reflective strip 506 and remove dirt. Furthermore, the cleaning slider 601 is located within the cleaning ring groove 503, where the ball 505 and the arc groove 602 are in interlocking contact, resulting in rolling friction and reducing the rotational friction of the cleaning component 600, thereby enhancing the warning effect.
[0043] Please see Figures 1-3 As a second embodiment of this utility model:
[0044] The upper surface of the column 102 is also provided with a mounting groove 103. The rear side of the column 102 is connected to an outer support frame 105 by a bolt structure. Two sets of symmetrically arranged damping shock absorbers 106 for buffering and absorbing energy are fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer support frame 105.
[0045] The rear side of the damping shock absorber 106 is fixedly connected to a rear cross plate 107, and the rear side of the rear cross plate 107 is fixedly connected to several sets of abutment seats 108 that are linearly and equally distributed.
[0046] The energy-absorbing column 200 also includes an energy-absorbing column body 201, which is made of a hollow rubber column structure. The inner side of the energy-absorbing column body 201 is filled with sand. The crossbar 300 also includes a crossbar body 301.
[0047] A set of mounting sliders 302 are fixedly connected to both sides of the crossbar body 301. The mounting sliders 302 and the mounting grooves 103 are mutually engaged. In the event of a collision, the energy-absorbing column body 201 provides the first step of buffering, and the sand filling the inside of the energy-absorbing column body 201 provides the second step of buffering. The rear side of the energy-absorbing column body 201 is contacted by the abutment seat 108, and the damping shock absorber 106 on the rear side provides the third step of buffering.
[0048] Based on the first embodiment described above, when a vehicle traveling on the road collides with the guardrail assembly due to an accident, the collision is first buffered by the energy-absorbing column body 201, then by the sand filling the inside of the energy-absorbing column body 201, and the rear side of the energy-absorbing column body 201 is contacted by the abutment seat 108, and the rear side is buffered by the damping shock absorber 106, thereby forming a multi-level energy-absorbing collision protection.
[0049] The above description is merely an illustration of some principles of this utility model. This specification is not intended to limit this utility model to the specific structure and applicable scope shown. Therefore, all possible modifications and equivalents that may be used fall within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
