[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar units or units having the same or similar functions throughout.
[0023] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that terms such as "installation", "connection", and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly, and can refer to direct connection, installation or fixing, or indirect connection, installation or fixing, and the present invention does not impose any limitation in this regard.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 4The diagram shows an embodiment of a self-alarming isolation guardrail according to the present invention. It includes a guardrail body 1, which is quickly connected via a connector 6; a monitoring box 2, located on the outer periphery of the guardrail body 1, which can establish a communication connection with a traffic monitoring terminal; and a detection feedback device, including an optical fiber 13 and an optical fiber breakage alarm. The optical fiber 13 is continuously deployed along the guardrail body 1, and the optical fiber breakage alarm is connected to the guardrail body 1 to collect signals from the optical fiber 13. When the optical fiber 13 breaks, the optical fiber breakage alarm generates a breakage feedback signal and sends it to the monitoring box 2. Preferably, the optical fiber 13 is connected to the interior of the guardrail body 1 via a cable clip 14, and the monitoring box 2 is located near the roadside near the optical fiber breakage alarm. The monitor can be connected to municipal optical fiber and transmit signals to the traffic department's monitoring terminal.
[0025] In this embodiment, one or more colors of reflective film are provided on the surface of the guardrail body 1 for warning purposes. The reflective film can better serve its warning function and improve the safety of using the guardrail body 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, the fiber optic cable breakage alarm includes a sensor 11, a processor, and a wireless communication module 12, which are installed on the guardrail body 1 and connected in sequence. The sensor 11 monitors the line status of the fiber optic cable 13 and generates a digital signal to be sent to the processor. The processor can control the wireless communication module 12 to transmit the feedback signal to the monitoring box 2. The sensor 11 is installed at the beginning and end of the guardrail body 1, and the processor and wireless communication module 12 are adapted for safety.
[0027] In this embodiment, the fiber optic breakage alarm also includes an energy storage battery connected to the guardrail body 1, and the sensor 11, processor and wireless communication module 12 are all electrically connected to the energy storage battery.
[0028] In this embodiment, the detection feedback device further includes a photovoltaic power generation module 10, which is installed on the guardrail body 1 and electrically connected to the energy storage battery. This embodiment can fully utilize solar energy, converting it into electrical energy to provide power for the fiber optic breakage alarm. It has a high resource utilization rate and can also reduce the installation and use costs of the self-alarm isolation guardrail, making it easy to promote and use.
[0029] In this embodiment, the guardrail body 1 includes multiple posts 3 and railing assemblies for connecting adjacent posts 3. The optical fiber 13 is laid along the length of the railing assembly, and the optical fiber breakage alarm is connected to the posts 3 or the railing assembly.
[0030] In this embodiment, the guardrail body 1 uses hot-dip galvanized steel as the base material and undergoes electrostatic spraying to form a composite anti-corrosion guardrail structure. Each post 3 has a corrosion-resistant base 4 made of high-polymer composite material at its bottom, which better ensures the stability and service life of the guardrail and improves road safety. The guardrail assembly includes multiple reinforcing vertical bars 9 and horizontal bars 8 for connecting adjacent posts 3. There are two horizontal bars 8 arranged parallel to each other, and the vertical bars 9 are perpendicularly connected to their corresponding horizontal bars 8. Double-sided yellow reflective film 5 is installed on both sides of the posts 3, and blue reflective film 7 is installed on both sides of the vertical bars 9 to form a warning structure in conjunction with the yellow reflective film 5. The traffic monitoring terminal includes a processing module that communicates with the monitoring box 2. The processing module displays the location of the fiber optic cable breakage alarm on a display and also stores relevant alarm information in a memory.
[0031] The usage method of this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0032] When the guardrail body 1 breaks due to an accident, the optical fiber 13 breaks along with the guardrail body 1. The optical fiber breakage alarm can generate a breakage feedback signal and send the feedback signal to the monitoring box 2. Specifically, the sensor 11 receives the optical fiber 13 breakage signal, converts the breakage signal into a digital signal and transmits it to the built-in microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the wireless communication module 12 to transmit the signal wirelessly to the roadside monitoring box 2. The monitoring box 2 transmits the optical fiber 13 breakage signal to the traffic monitoring terminal of the relevant department via the optical fiber line. The traffic monitoring terminal can obtain the corresponding alarm information from the monitoring box 2 and display the optical fiber 13 breakage alarm information, such as displaying the location of the optical fiber breakage alarm. The information storage can store the relevant alarm information.
[0033] This invention ensures that when a guardrail breaks, it can automatically alarm and transmit the breakage information to the traffic monitoring terminal in a timely manner, reminding relevant personnel to carry out repairs. It is real-time and convenient, which can reduce the risk of traffic accidents caused by guardrail breakage, reduce the impact of accidents on road traffic, and improve the level of road safety protection.
[0034] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model.
