Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of guardrail technology, and more specifically, to a warning guardrail. Background Technology

[0002] Warning barriers are typically installed in areas such as roads, construction sites, and around power facilities to isolate crowds, maintain order, and serve as safety barriers and warnings. They are simple in structure, easy to install, dismantle, and move, and their location and layout can be quickly adjusted as needed. Maintenance costs are low, requiring only periodic cleaning and inspection. However, current warning barriers generally consist of a protective element connected between two posts. In low-light conditions at night, pedestrians are unlikely to notice them, thus failing to effectively serve their warning purpose. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a warning guardrail, which solves the technical problem in the related art that pedestrians are not easily noticed by the warning guardrail when the light is dim at night, and thus cannot effectively play a warning role.

[0004] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a warning guardrail, including,

[0005] The number of columns is at least two;

[0006] The protective component is disposed between two adjacent columns;

[0007] Warning light, wherein the warning light is installed on the top of the column;

[0008] A lampshade is disposed on the top of the column and located around the warning light;

[0009] A solar panel is disposed on the top of the lampshade and is electrically connected to the warning light.

[0010] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a warning guardrail also includes a lamp holder, the lower end of which is detachably connected to the top of the post, the bottom of the warning light is connected to the upper end of the lamp holder, and the lower end of the lampshade is detachably connected to the upper end of the lamp holder.

[0011] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a warning guardrail also includes a wire conduit, which is disposed inside the lampshade and located around the warning light. The top of the lampshade has a wire hole corresponding to the wire conduit, and a wire passage is provided between the lower end face of the wire conduit and the lamp holder.

[0012] For example, in a warning guardrail provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the upper surface of the lampshade has a groove, and the solar panel is disposed in the groove.

[0013] For example, in a warning guardrail provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the upper surface of the solar panel is located above the lampshade. The solar panel has a horizontal protective edge and a vertical protective edge. One end of the horizontal protective edge is located outside the recess and overlaps with the lampshade. The other end of the horizontal protective edge extends to the outside of the lampshade and connects with the upper end of the vertical protective edge. The inner wall of the vertical protective edge is in contact with the outer wall of the lampshade.

[0014] For example, in a warning guardrail provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the bottom of the solar panel has a connecting post, the lower end of the connecting post passes through the top of the lampshade and extends into the lampshade, and also includes a connector, the connector being located inside the lampshade, the connector being threadedly connected to the lower end of the connecting post, and the upper end face of the connector contacting the lampshade.

[0015] For example, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a warning guardrail that also includes,

[0016] A positioning rod, located below the column;

[0017] A base is provided at the end of the positioning rod, and there are bases at both ends of the positioning rod. The lower end face of the base is located below the lower end face of the positioning rod.

[0018] A positioning sleeve is provided on the base, and the lower end of the column is inserted into the positioning sleeve.

[0019] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a warning guardrail has a positioning cover at the bottom of the positioning sleeve, the positioning cover being fastened to the periphery of the positioning rod, and further includes...

[0020] A locking bolt is located around the positioning sleeve. The bolt of the locking bolt passes through the positioning cover and the positioning rod and extends to the bottom of the positioning rod, and is located above the lower end face of the base.

[0021] A locking nut is threadedly connected to the locking bolt, and the positioning cover and the positioning rod are clamped between the nut of the locking bolt and the locking nut.

[0022] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a warning guardrail is provided, wherein the protective component is a telescopic guardrail and further includes a locking rod. The length direction of the locking rod is the same as the length direction of the protective component. After the protective component is retracted, both ends of the locking rod are respectively connected to the corresponding ends of the base, and the locking rod and the base are detachably connected.

[0023] For example, in a warning guardrail provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the base has a receiving groove and a screw hole, the end of the locking rod is engaged with the receiving groove, the screw hole is located inside the locking rod, and a fastening bolt is also included. The screw of the fastening bolt passes through the locking rod and is threadedly connected to the screw hole, and the locking rod is clamped between the nut of the fastening bolt and the base.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed are as follows: the number of columns is at least two; the protective component is disposed between two adjacent columns; the warning light is disposed on the top of the column; the lamp cover is disposed on the top of the column and located around the warning light; the solar panel is disposed on the top of the lamp cover and is electrically connected to the warning light.

[0025] This disclosure describes a safety barrier system that uses at least two posts to provide structural support. Protective elements are installed between adjacent posts to form a barrier, physically isolating a specific area and preventing people from entering dangerous zones. Warning lights are positioned at the top of the posts, making the barrier more visible and providing a wider warning range in low-light conditions at night. This significantly enhances the barrier's nighttime warning effectiveness, better guiding pedestrians to safety and preventing them from entering dangerous areas. This system provides more comprehensive and effective safety protection for areas such as roads, construction sites, and areas surrounding power facilities.

[0026] The lampshade serves two purposes: firstly, it protects the warning light from external environmental factors such as rain, dust, and impacts, extending its lifespan; secondly, it provides support for the solar panel. During the day, when sunlight is available, the solar panel converts solar energy into electricity and stores it. At night, when light is dim, the stored electricity powers the warning light, enabling it to function properly and fulfill its warning function. This solar-powered system fully utilizes renewable energy, is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and eliminates the need for external power wiring, reducing installation costs and maintenance complexity.

[0036] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0037] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0038] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0040] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0041] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a warning guardrail according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a post 1, a protective element 2, a warning light 3, a lampshade 4, and a solar panel 5. The number of posts 1 is at least two; the protective element 2 is disposed between two adjacent posts 1; the warning light 3 is disposed on the top of the post 1; the lampshade 4 is disposed on the top of the post 1 and is located around the warning light 3; the solar panel 5 is disposed on the top of the lampshade 4 and is electrically connected to the warning light 3.

[0043] In this disclosure, at least two posts 1 are installed to provide a supporting structure for the entire warning barrier. Protective components 2 are installed between two adjacent posts 1 to form an isolation barrier, achieving physical isolation of a specific area to prevent people from freely entering the danger zone. Warning lights 3 are installed at the top of the posts 1, placing them at a higher position. In low-light conditions at night, this makes the barrier more conspicuous and extends the warning range, making it easier for pedestrians to notice. This significantly improves the barrier's nighttime warning effect, better guiding pedestrians to safety and preventing them from entering dangerous areas, thus ensuring pedestrian safety. This provides more comprehensive and effective safety protection for areas such as roads, construction sites, and areas surrounding power facilities.

[0044] The lampshade 4 serves two purposes: firstly, it protects the warning light 3 from external environmental factors such as rain, dust, and impacts, extending its lifespan; secondly, it provides support for the solar panel 5. During the day, when sunlight is available, the solar panel 5 converts solar energy into electricity and stores it. At night, when light is dim, the stored electricity powers the warning light 3, enabling it to function properly and provide its warning function. This solar-powered system fully utilizes renewable energy, is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and eliminates the need for external power wiring, reducing installation costs and maintenance complexity.

[0045] In some examples, a lamp holder 6 is also included, with the lower end of the lamp holder 6 being detachably connected to the top of the column 1, the bottom of the warning light 3 being connected to the upper end of the lamp holder 6, and the lower end of the lamp cover 4 being detachably connected to the upper end of the lamp holder 6.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lamp holder 6 and the column 1 are connected in a detachable manner, such as by bolts, facilitating the installation and removal of the lamp holder 6 and its components. The bottom of the warning light 3 is connected to the upper end of the lamp holder 6, ensuring that the warning light 3 can be stably placed at a suitable height on the top of the column 1, guaranteeing its warning effect. The lamp cover 4 and the lamp holder 6 are also detachable, allowing for maintenance and replacement of the lamp cover 4 and the warning light 3 without removing the lamp holder 6. This simplifies operation and reduces maintenance difficulty and costs.

[0047] In some examples, a conduit 7 is also included, which is disposed inside the lamp cover 4 and located around the warning light 3. The top of the lamp cover 4 has a wire hole 8 corresponding to the conduit 7, and a wire passage is provided between the lower end face of the conduit 7 and the lamp holder 6.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the wires on the solar panel 5 can enter the wire tube 7 through the wire hole 8, and then connect to the warning light 3 through the wire passage between the lower end of the wire tube 7 and the lamp holder 6. This can avoid the wires being exposed and messy, making the inside of the lamp cover 4 more neat and orderly.

[0049] In some examples, the upper surface of the lampshade 4 has a recess 9, and the solar panel 5 is disposed in the recess 9.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the recessed structure of the sink 9 is used to initially position the solar panel 5, making it more stable on top of the lamp cover 4. This reduces the possibility of displacement or damage to the solar panel 5 due to shaking or collision, and enhances the stability and safety of the installation of the solar panel 5. At the same time, it makes the whole structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing.

[0051] In some examples, the upper surface of the solar panel 5 is located above the lampshade 4. The solar panel 5 has a lateral guard 10 and a longitudinal guard 11. One end of the lateral guard 10 is located outside the recess 9 and overlaps with the lampshade 4. The other end of the lateral guard 10 extends to the outside of the lampshade 4 and connects with the upper end of the longitudinal guard 11. The inner wall of the longitudinal guard 11 is in contact with the outer wall of the lampshade 4.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal protective edge 10 and the vertical protective edge 11 work together to cover the trough 9, which can prevent rainwater, dust and other substances from entering between the solar panel 5 and the lamp cover 4 from the joint of the solar panel 5 and the lamp cover 4, i.e. the edge of the trough 9. This better protects the solar panel 5, reduces environmental erosion, extends its service life, and ensures that it can convert solar energy into electrical energy in a long-term and stable manner to maintain the nighttime power supply of the warning light 3. It can also reduce the risk of the warning guardrail failing due to the failure of the solar panel 5.

[0053] In some examples, the solar panel 5 has a connecting post 12 at its bottom, the lower end of which passes through the top of the lampshade 4 and extends into the lampshade 4. It also includes a connector 13 located inside the lampshade 4. The connector 13 is threaded to the lower end of the connecting post 12, and the upper end face of the connector 13 contacts the lampshade 4.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the solar panel 5 is fixed to the lampshade 4 by threaded fastening, achieving a reliable connection between the solar panel 5 and the lampshade 4. Compared to simple placement or ordinary clip connections, this method can withstand greater external impacts, such as strong winds or accidental collisions, preventing the solar panel 5 from falling off and better ensuring the safety of the entire warning fence power supply system. Multiple connecting posts 12 are arranged in a matrix, with connectors 13 corresponding to each post 12. The combination of multiple connecting posts 12 and multiple connectors 13 makes the connection between the solar panel 5 and the lampshade 4 more secure and reliable.

[0055] In some examples, the system also includes a positioning rod 14, a base 15, and a positioning sleeve 16. The positioning rod 14 is located below the column 1. The base 15 is located at the end of the positioning rod 14, and there is a base 15 at both ends of the positioning rod 14. The lower end face of the base 15 is located below the lower end face of the positioning rod 14. The positioning sleeve 16 is located on the base 15, and the lower end of the column 1 is inserted into the positioning sleeve 16.

[0056] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning rod 14 is located below the column 1. The positioning rod 14 cooperates with the bases 15 at both ends, serving as the positioning reference for the column 1. The bases 15 at both ends increase the contact area with the ground, distributing the weight of the column 1 and the entire warning barrier, thus improving the overall stability of the warning barrier structure. The lower end of the column 1 is inserted into the positioning sleeve 16, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly of the column 1 and making the assembly and disassembly process more efficient. The lower end face of the base 15 is located below the lower end face of the positioning rod 14, leaving a gap between the positioning rod 14 and the ground. This reduces the requirement for ground flatness for the warning barrier, making it less prone to tipping over.

[0057] In some examples, the bottom of the positioning sleeve 16 has a positioning cover 17, which is fastened to the periphery of the positioning rod 14. It also includes a locking bolt 18 and a locking nut 19. The locking bolt 18 is located on the periphery of the positioning sleeve 16. The screw of the locking bolt 18 passes through the positioning cover 17 and the positioning rod 14 and extends to the bottom of the positioning rod 14, and is located above the lower end face of the base 15. The locking nut 19 is threadedly connected to the locking bolt 18. The positioning cover 17 and the positioning rod 14 are clamped between the nut of the locking bolt 18 and the locking nut 19.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the positioning cover 17 at the bottom of the positioning sleeve 16 is fastened to the periphery of the positioning rod 14, which provides initial positioning for the positioning sleeve 16 and the positioning rod 14. Then, the screw of the locking bolt 18 passes through the positioning cover 17 and the positioning rod 14 and is threadedly connected to the locking nut 19 located below the positioning rod 14. The positioning cover 17 and the positioning rod 14 are clamped between the nut of the locking bolt 18 and the locking nut 19, thus fixing the positioning sleeve 16 onto the positioning rod 14. This enhances the stability of the connection between the column 1 and the base 15, ensuring structural integrity even under external impacts or vibrations, preventing the warning guardrail from collapsing due to loosening at the connection, and guaranteeing long-term reliable use of the warning guardrail.

[0059] In some examples, the protective component 2 is a telescopic barrier and also includes a locking rod 20. The length direction of the locking rod 20 is the same as that of the protective component 2. After the protective component 2 is retracted, the two ends of the locking rod 20 are respectively connected to the corresponding ends of the base 15, and the locking rod 20 and the base 15 are detachably connected.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the protective component 2 is a telescopic barrier, which can flexibly adjust the protective range according to the actual usage scenario. It is convenient to operate when it is necessary to temporarily expand or shrink the isolation area during special periods or in special areas. The length direction of the locking rod 20 is the same as the length direction of the protective component 2. After the protective component 2 is retracted, both ends are detachably connected to the corresponding base 15. This can prevent the telescopic barrier from shaking randomly after it is retracted, which can improve the practicality and adaptability of the warning barrier and meet diverse isolation needs. At the same time, the connection between the locking rod 20 and the base 15 can ensure that the telescopic barrier is neatly stored when not in use, without affecting the surrounding environment and passage. When it is used again, it can be quickly unfolded to restore the protective function.

[0061] In some examples, the base 15 has a receiving groove 21 and a screw hole 22. The end of the locking rod 20 is engaged with the receiving groove 21. The screw hole 22 is located inside the locking rod 20. It also includes a fastening bolt 23. The screw of the fastening bolt 23 passes through the locking rod 20 and is threaded into the screw hole 22. The locking rod 20 is clamped between the nut of the fastening bolt 23 and the base 15.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, taking the protective component 2 as an example with its length along the left-right direction, both left and right positioning rods 14 are connected between the front and rear bases 15. The rear sides of the two rear bases 15 and the front sides of the two front bases 15 each have receiving grooves 21. After the protective component 2 retracts, the left end of the locking rod 20 engages with the receiving groove 21 on the left base 15, and the right end of the locking rod 20 engages with the receiving groove 21 on the right base 15. This allows for initial positioning of the locking rod 20. Then, the locking rod 20 is fixed between the left and right bases 15 by the engagement of the fastening bolts 23 and the screw holes 22. When needed, the fastening bolts 23 are separated from the bases 15, and the locking rod 20 is removed from the bases 15. The structure is simple, the connection is firm and reliable, ensuring that the locking rod 20 remains in a fixed position without shaking or falling off. Furthermore, it is convenient and quick to assemble and disassemble, saving time and effort.
