Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road ancillary facilities technology, and in particular to an auxiliary landscape device for road guardrails. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese patent CN 223240599 U discloses a landscape-style modified lane divider, in which the auxiliary landscape device has a relatively complex structure, with components connected by welding or bolts, making on-site installation inconvenient. Furthermore, when traffic police or road administration adjust the guardrail layout due to traffic control or route changes, it requires disassembling a large number of fasteners or performing cutting operations, resulting in poor flexibility and difficulty in adapting to the needs of temporary road adjustments. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary landscape device for road isolation guardrails, which simplifies the structure, improves flexibility, and facilitates disassembly and assembly.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an auxiliary landscape device for road isolation guardrails, comprising:
[0005] Multiple long strip-shaped connectors are spaced apart along the extension direction of the guardrail. The connectors are perpendicular to the guardrail facade and span across the top of the lower horizontal bar of the guardrail. The middle section of the connector has a downward-opening slot, which is used to lock the horizontal bar to detachably connect the connector to the guardrail. The two ends of the connector extend to the outside of the guardrail and form support parts on both sides of the guardrail.
[0006] Multiple skirt panels located on both sides of the guardrail and on the same side of the guardrail are configured to be connected sequentially along the extension direction of the guardrail. Each skirt panel includes a side panel and a base plate for supporting potted plants. The base plate of each skirt panel is fixedly connected to the support of at least two connectors and forms a receiving cavity for placing potted plants between the side panel and the guardrail facade.
[0007] The connector includes a blind rivet that connects the support part and the base plate. The blind rivet passes through a pre-set through hole in the support part and the base plate and rivets the two together.
[0008] Alternatively, another connecting component may include an elastic limiting component disposed on the support and a limiting hole disposed on the base plate, wherein the limiting hole can be snapped into the elastic limiting component for connection.
[0009] Preferably, the elastic limiting component includes an L-shaped locking piece fixed to the top surface of the support and an elastic locking head. The top side of the elastic locking head is provided with a flange, and the orientation of the flange is opposite to that of the L-shaped locking piece. The limiting hole is a strip-shaped through hole, and the length of the strip-shaped through hole is adapted to the distance between the L-shaped locking piece and the elastic locking head. When the base plate is connected to the support, the two ends of the strip-shaped through hole are respectively engaged with the L-shaped locking piece and the elastic locking head.
[0010] More preferably, adjacent skirt panels on the same side of the guardrail are detachably connected by connecting pieces.
[0011] More preferably, the connecting piece is attached to the inner side surface of two adjacent side plates and is riveted to the two side plates respectively by pop rivets.
[0012] More preferably, the side panel is bent toward the guardrail at a certain angle.
[0013] More preferably, the outer end face and the bottom end face of the connector are connected by a bevel or an arc-shaped surface.
[0014] More preferably, the middle section of the connector is riveted to the lower crossbar of the guardrail using a blind rivet.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] The lower crossbar of the main guardrail is secured by a connector with slots, and quickly riveted and fixed using a flexible limiting component and a limiting hole, or by using a blind rivet. This eliminates the cumbersome process of traditional welding or the use of multiple bolts and tools. During on-site construction, all connectors and skirting panels can be installed without tools or with only a rivet gun, greatly simplifying the operation process, shortening construction time, and reducing the technical requirements for construction personnel.
[0017] Furthermore, during maintenance, replacement, or layout adjustments, the elastic limiting components can be deformed to allow the limiting holes to quickly disengage, or tools can be used to quickly remove rivets, achieving non-destructive or low-damage disassembly. This avoids the difficulties of cutting traditional welded structures or the problems of rusted bolts hindering disassembly, improving flexibility and facilitating assembly and disassembly. This quick-disassembly feature is particularly suitable for applications requiring temporary changes or periodic maintenance of road infrastructure. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the road safety barrier's attached landscaping features include:
[0033] Multiple long strip-shaped connectors 1 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the guardrail. The connectors 1 are perpendicular to the facade of the guardrail 2 and span across the top of the lower horizontal bar of the guardrail 2. The middle section of the connector 1 is provided with a downward-opening slot 1a. The slot 1a is used to lock the horizontal bar so as to detachably connect the connector 1 to the guardrail. The two ends of the connector 1 extend to the outside of the guardrail and form support parts 1b on both sides of the guardrail.
[0034] Multiple skirt panels 3 located on both sides of the guardrail 2 and on the same side of the guardrail 2 are arranged to be connected sequentially along the extension direction of the guardrail. Each skirt panel 3 includes a side panel 3a and a bottom plate 3b supporting the potted plant 4. The bottom plate 3b of each skirt panel 3 is fixedly connected to the support part 1b of at least two connectors 1 and forms a receiving cavity for placing the potted plant 4 between the side panel 3a and the guardrail facade.
[0035] The connectors include blind rivets 5 that connect the support part 1b and the base plate 3b. The blind rivets 5 pass through pre-set through holes in the support part 1b and the base plate 3b and rivet them together. There are multiple sets of pre-set through holes, which allows the base plate 3b to span multiple connectors 1 connected to the same side and to be fixed by multi-point riveting, forming a continuous and stable support structure.
[0036] In the above structure, the base plate 3b is connected to the bottom end of the connector 1, and one end of the base plate 3b extends outward to bypass the outer end of the connector 1 and bends upward to form the side plate 3a. This not only simplifies the structure and reduces the number of independent parts, but more importantly, the one-piece L-shaped structure can effectively surround the potted plant 4 and prevent it from sliding off to the side due to external force or vibration, thereby improving safety and reliability.
[0037] Since road safety barriers typically extend to a certain length along with the road, the skirt panels 3 on both sides of the road safety barrier are assembled in a modular splicing manner to match the length of the road safety barrier. Therefore, to improve the aesthetics and reliability of all skirt panels 3, in this embodiment, adjacent side panels 3a on the same side of the road safety barrier 2 are detachably connected by connecting pieces. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the connector is a connecting piece 6 that abuts against the inner surfaces of two adjacent side panels 3a. The connecting piece 6 abuts against the inner surfaces of the two adjacent side panels 3a and is riveted to each of the two side panels 3a by pop rivets 5. This not only achieves a quick and reliable connection between skirt modules over long distances, ensuring the continuity and stability of the overall structure, but also makes the guardrail look neater and more aesthetically pleasing. It also continues the advantages of uniform and efficient assembly and disassembly brought by the pop rivet 5 connection method, facilitating transportation and on-site construction. Those skilled in the art should know that since both the side panels 3a and the connecting piece 6 can be designed to be relatively thin, the pop rivets required for their connection are small. After actual riveting, the impact on the overall aesthetics is minimal when viewed from the outside of the side panels 3a.
[0038] Based on the above, the outer end face and bottom end face of connector 1 are connected by a bevel transition, and the bottom plate 3b and side plate 3a are connected by an inclined portion adapted to the bevel; furthermore, the side plate 3a is bent towards the guardrail 2 at a certain angle. This not only makes the combination of the support structure and the skirt plate tighter and more stable, effectively enhancing the local resistance to deformation; at the same time, the side plate 3a bending towards the guardrail at an inclined angle further enhances the visual continuity and aesthetics.
[0039] In this embodiment, the slot 1a engages with the lower crossbar, making on-site construction and assembly more convenient. Combined with the overall weight of the device and the potted plant 4, sufficient stability is achieved even without a tight connection between the connector 1 and the lower crossbar. Of course, to further enhance stability and adapt to more complex environments, the connector 1 at slot 1a can also be connected to the lower crossbar of the guardrail using blind rivets 5. However, this method requires pre-drilled through holes on both the guardrail 2 and the lower crossbar for connection. Nevertheless, this connection method further strengthens the stable connection between the landscape device and the road barrier.
[0040] The construction, installation, and dismantling processes for the road safety guardrail's auxiliary landscape features provided in the above embodiments are roughly as follows:
[0041] First, multiple connectors 1 are directly snapped onto the lower crossbar of the guardrail 2 via their corresponding slots 1a. Then, the base plate 3b of the skirt panel 3 is placed under the support portion 1b of all connectors 1 on the same side of the road barrier guardrail, aligning the base plate 3b with the pre-set through holes on the support portion 1b. Finally, a rivet gun is used to drive the pop rivets 5 into the aligned through holes and tighten them, thus firmly fixing the base plate 3b to the connectors 1. If adjacent skirt panels 3 need to be connected, the connecting piece 6 is attached to the inside of the adjacent side panel 3a and fixed using pop rivets 5 as well. The entire installation process requires only one set of riveting tools, allowing for quick and efficient assembly of the entire structure.
[0042] Disassembly is simpler and faster. After removing the potted plant 4, use a power drill or similar tool to directly drill or impact the rivet heads of all connecting rivets 5, quickly loosening the connection between the base plate 3b and the connector 1, as well as between adjacent side plates 3a. Then, the skirt panel 3 can be removed directly, and the connector 1 lifted from the guardrail crossbar, completing the disassembly of the entire device. This process requires no cutting or complex operations, causes no damage to the guardrail itself, and greatly facilitates later maintenance, replacement, or layout adjustments. Especially when traffic police or road administration adjust the guardrail layout due to traffic control or road rerouting, this device offers excellent flexibility and can well adapt to the needs of temporary road adjustments.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is the quick-connect structure. Specifically, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the quick-connect structure in this embodiment includes an elastic limiting component disposed on the top surface of the support portion 1b and a limiting hole (not shown in the figure) disposed on the base plate 3b. The limiting hole can be snapped into the elastic limiting component. Further, the elastic limiting component includes an L-shaped locking piece 7a and an elastic locking head 7b fixed to the top surface of the support portion 1b. The top side of the elastic locking head 7b has a flange, and the flange faces in the opposite direction to the L-shaped locking piece 7a. The limiting hole is a strip-shaped through hole, the length of which is adapted to the distance between the L-shaped locking piece 7a and the elastic locking head 7b. When the base plate 3b is connected to the support portion 1b, both ends of the strip-shaped through hole are snapped into the L-shaped locking piece 7a and the elastic locking head 7b, respectively.
[0045] Furthermore, to achieve complete tool-free assembly and disassembly in this embodiment, the connecting piece 6 in Embodiment 1 can be appropriately adjusted. For example, adjacent side plates 3a can be connected by adhesive bonding, and the two ends of the connecting piece 6 can be provided with raised edges to facilitate subsequent manual removal. Of course, for greater convenience, this embodiment can also omit the structure of the connecting piece 6 and not connect the adjacent side plates 3a, sacrificing a little aesthetic harmony in the overall appearance, but without affecting the function of the overall device.
[0046] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the connection and disassembly methods of the skirt plate 3 and the connector 1 during construction, installation, and disassembly. Specifically, during construction and installation, the base plate 3b can be placed on the support part 1b and pressed down to hold the elastic locking head 7b, causing the elastic locking head 7b to undergo a certain elastic deformation. Then, one end of the limiting hole of the base plate 3b is hooked onto the L-shaped locking piece 7a. Next, the base plate 3b is moved in the opposite direction to the locking head of the L-shaped locking piece 7a and then lowered. At this time, the elastic locking head 7b can be reset and abut against the other end of the limiting hole, realizing the quick snap-fit between the base plate 3b and the connector 1. It is also very convenient to disassemble during construction. By pressing the elastic locking head 7b, its flange is tilted towards the middle of the limiting hole to avoid it, and the base plate 3b can be lifted quickly, so that one end of the limiting hole is separated from the elastic locking head 7b. Then, the base plate 3b is moved slightly towards the other end, so that the limiting hole is also separated from the L-shaped locking piece 7a. Thus, the skirt plate 3 can be removed quickly.
[0047] In this embodiment, the connector 1 can be a metal plate or a plastic plate. When it is a metal plate, the L-shaped locking piece 7a and the elastic locking head 7b can both be metal sheet structures obtained by punching holes in the metal plate. When it is a plastic plate, the L-shaped locking piece 7a and the elastic locking head 7b can be formed by injection molding.
[0048] Furthermore, the structure of this embodiment also has a more optimized structure, which further includes a lower skirt plate 8, specifically as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the cross-sectional structure of the lower skirt plate 8 is shaped like the number 7. Its upper part is attached to the support part 1b and is provided with a lower skirt plate locking hole that cooperates with the elastic locking head 7b. The lower part is bent and protects the outer end of the support part 1b, thereby reducing the wear on the outer end of the support part 1b. The bottom plate 3b of the skirt plate 3 is pressed onto the lower skirt plate 8 after it cooperates with the elastic limiting component to form a tight fit, thereby improving the firmness.
[0049] As a preferred structure, such as Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the lower skirt 8 can also be extended downwards to the road surface, thereby achieving an aesthetic isolation effect of sealing the guardrail base.
[0050] Furthermore, this embodiment has a preferred structure, specifically, as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the elastic locking head 7b has a mushroom-shaped structure (actually equivalent to a quick-release buckle structure), and the locking plate 7a is located at one end of the base plate 3b and faces the base plate 3b. During installation, firstly, the lower skirt plate 8 is directly engaged with the elastic locking head 7b, then one end of the base plate 3b is inserted into the locking plate 7a (at this time, the base plate 3b is roughly tilted), and then the base plate 3b is pressed down so that the hole on the base plate 3b also quickly engages with the elastic locking head 7b, thus completing the assembly.
[0051] As can be seen from the above embodiments, this utility model achieves rapid installation and efficient disassembly of the entire device during construction through the modular design of the convenient overlap between the connector 1 and the guardrail crossbar and the quick connection between the skirt plate 3 and the connector 1, which significantly improves the work efficiency and flexibility and effectively solves the problems of cumbersome disassembly and assembly, poor adaptability and flexibility of traditional fixed structures.
[0052] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art of the improvements of this utility model compared to the prior art, some of the accompanying drawings and descriptions of this utility model have been simplified. The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
