[0027] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the guardrail for municipal roads and bridges provided in this embodiment includes a first guardrail 1. The two sides of the first guardrail 1 are connected to a second guardrail 2 through two quick-release mechanisms 4. The two second guardrails 2 away from the first guardrail 1 are connected to a third guardrail 3 through two quick-release mechanisms 4.

[0029] The quick-release mechanism 4 includes a first connecting plate 41 and a second connecting plate 42. A connecting block 43 is fixedly installed on the first connecting plate 41. The connecting block 43 has several evenly distributed slots 44, and both ends of the connecting block 43 have through holes 45. A cross mounting block 46 is fixedly installed on the second connecting plate 42. Both ends of the cross mounting block 46 have sliding grooves 47. The inner sidewall of the sliding groove 47 has two through slots 48, which are connected to the sliding groove 47. A spring 49 is installed inside the sliding groove 47. One end of the spring 49 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the sliding groove 47, and the other end of the spring 49 is fixedly connected to a sliding rod 410. The slide bar 410 is slidably disposed inside the slide groove 47, and a locking rod 411 is fixedly installed at the end of the slide bar 410 near the spring 49. The two ends of the locking rod 411 abut against the two locking grooves 44 respectively, and the end of the slide bar 410 away from the spring 49 passes through the through hole 45 and is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 412. The threaded sleeve 412 abuts against the connecting block 43. The two sides of the first guardrail 1 are connected to the second guardrail 2 through the quick-release mechanism 4. The outer side of the second guardrail 2 is then connected to the third guardrail 3 in the same way, forming an expandable protective unit combination. In the quick-release mechanism 4, during installation, the first connecting plate 41 and the second connecting plate 42 are first fixed to the adjacent guardrails respectively. Align the cross mounting block 46 with the connecting block 43. Then, press the slide rods 410 at both ends of the cross mounting block 46. The slide rods 410 slide inside the slide groove 47, compressing the spring 49. The spring 49 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy, which in turn drives the two ends of the locking rod 411 to move along the through groove 48. When the cross mounting block 46 is engaged with the connecting block 43, release the slide rods 410. The elastic force of the spring 49 pushes the slide rods 410, causing the locking rod 411 to embed into the slot 44, thus achieving initial engagement and positioning. Subsequently, the end of the slide rod 410 passes through the through hole 45 on the connecting block 43, and the threaded sleeve 412 is tightened to abut against the connecting block 43, forming a "spring" engagement. The dual locking structure of "spring pre-tensioning + threaded fastening" ensures the impact resistance of the guardrail after connection, thus effectively resisting the lateral impact force during vehicle collision. During disassembly, simply unscrew the threaded sleeve 412 in the opposite direction, push the slide rod 410 to compress the spring 49, causing the locking rod 411 to disengage from the locking groove 44, and at the same time, the end of the slide rod 410 to disengage from the through hole 45 on the connecting block 43, thereby quickly disassembling each guardrail. It is suitable for road reconstruction and expansion, temporary isolation, bridge protection and other scenarios, combining construction efficiency and safety reliability, while also facilitating later maintenance or repeated disassembly and reuse, thus significantly improving the installation efficiency and scenario adaptability of guardrails in municipal engineering.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-7As shown, the first guardrail 1, the second guardrail 2, and the third guardrail 3 all include a first support post 5. A second support post 6 is provided on one side of the first support post 5. Two first connecting plates 41 are bolted to the second support post 6, and two second connecting plates 42 are bolted to the first support post 5. The first support post 5 and the second support post 6 are connected by a number of evenly distributed horizontal bars 7. Vertical bars 8 are installed on the horizontal bars 7, and elastic protective pads 9 are installed on the inner sides of the horizontal bars 7 and the vertical bars 8. The first support column 5 and the second support column 6 of the railing 3 are connected to the adjacent railings by bolting the first connecting plate 41 and the second connecting plate 42 of the quick-release mechanism 4. The two are connected by the horizontal bar 7 to form a frame structure. The elastic protective pads 9 on the inner side of the horizontal bar 7 and the vertical bar 8 can buffer the impact force. In this way, the overall rigidity of the railing is enhanced by the "double column frame + horizontal bar and vertical bar". The elastic protective pad 9 absorbs the impact energy by material deformation, reduces collision damage, and thus improves the safety protection performance. At the same time, it is also easy to achieve modular assembly and disassembly through the quick-release mechanism 4, thereby improving the practicality of the railing.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-7As shown, a connecting rod 10 is fixedly installed on the vertical rod 8. The connecting rod 10 is set on the first guardrail 1, and a first fixing block 11 and a second fixing block 12 are fixedly installed on the connecting rod 10. Both ends of the first fixing block 11 are hinged with a first pull ring 13. A first cable 14 is hooked to the first pull ring 13. The end of the first cable 14 away from the first pull ring 13 is hooked with a second pull ring 15. The second pull ring 15 is hinged to the second guardrail 2. Both ends of the second fixing block 12 are hinged with a first fixing block 11 and a second fixing block 12. The third pull ring 16 has a hook to which a second cable 17 is attached. The end of the second cable 17 furthest from the third pull ring 16 is hooked to a fourth pull ring 18, which is hinged to the third guardrail 3. Both the first cable 14 and the second cable 17 are made of multiple high-strength steel wires twisted together. The connecting rod 10 on the vertical post 8 is connected to the first cable 14 via hooks to the first pull rings 13 hinged at both ends of the first fixing block 11. The hook at the other end of the first cable 14 is attached to the second guardrail. On the second pull ring 15 of 2, the third pull ring 16, which is hinged at both ends of the second fixing block 12, is connected to the second cable 17 via a hook. The other end of the second cable 17 is hooked onto the fourth pull ring 18, which is hinged to the third guardrail 3, forming a flexible connection system. The first cable 14 and the second cable 17, which are made of high-strength steel wire, are horizontally connected into a whole. When a section of the guardrail is impacted, the first cable 14 and the second cable 17 absorb the impact energy through elastic deformation and distribute the force to the adjacent guardrail units through several pull ring hinge nodes, avoiding localized damage. The hook connection method facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of the first cable 14 and the second cable 17. With the quick-release mechanism 4, the guardrail can be modularly assembled. At the same time, the flexible characteristics of the first cable 14 and the second cable 17 can adapt to slight terrain subsidence or temperature deformation, thereby improving the overall stability and environmental adaptability of the guardrail. It is suitable for safety protection scenarios of municipal roads and bridges, and has both rigid support and flexible buffer functions.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, both the first support column 5 and the second support column 6 have fixed bases 19 installed at their lower ends. Several mounting plates 20 are installed on the fixed bases 19, and mounting holes 21 are opened on the mounting plates 20. The fixed bases 19 at the lower ends of the first support column 5 and the second support column 6 can be fixed to the concrete foundation of municipal roads or bridges by bolts or anchor bolts through the mounting plates 20 and the mounting holes 21. The distributed fixing of multiple mounting plates 20 enhances the pull-out resistance and overturning resistance, thereby ensuring that the guardrail remains stable under loads such as vehicle impacts or strong winds, thus providing reliable bottom support for the overall structure.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-7As shown, warning lights 22 are installed at the upper ends of several first support columns 5, several second support columns 6, and connecting rods 10. The warning lights 22 at the upper ends of several first support columns 5, second support columns 6, and connecting rods 10 (the warning lights 22 are existing technology and will not be described in detail in this embodiment) can significantly improve the visibility of the guardrail at night or in low visibility environments by flashing or keeping the lights on, warning passing vehicles and pedestrians to pay attention to road conditions, reducing the risk of collision, and are especially suitable for curves, bridges, or construction sections, thereby enhancing the safety warning function of municipal roads and bridge projects.

[0034] like Figures 1-7 As shown in this embodiment, the principle of the guardrail for municipal roads and bridges is as follows:

[0035] During installation, the first connecting plate 41 and the second connecting plate 42 are first fixed to the adjacent guardrails respectively. The cross mounting block 46 is aligned with the connecting block 43. At this time, the slide rods 410 at both ends of the cross mounting block 46 are pressed. The slide rods 410 slide and compress the spring 49 inside the slide groove 47. The spring 49 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy, which in turn drives the two ends of the locking rod 411 to move along the through groove 48. When the cross mounting block 46 is locked into the connecting block 43, the slide rod 410 is released. The elastic force of the spring 49 pushes the slide rod 410 to drive the locking rod 411 to be embedded in the slot 44, thereby achieving initial locking and positioning. Then, the end of the slide rod 410 passes through the through hole 45 on the connecting block 43 and is tightened to make it abut against the connecting block 43, forming a double locking structure of "spring preload + thread fastening", which ensures the impact resistance of the guardrail after connection and can effectively resist the lateral impact force when the vehicle hits.

[0036] During disassembly, simply unscrew the threaded sleeve 412 in the opposite direction, push the slide bar 410 to compress the spring 49, causing the locking rod 411 to disengage from the slot 44, while the end of the slide bar 410 disengages from the through hole 45 on the connecting block 43, thus allowing for quick disassembly of each guardrail.
