Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guardrails, and in particular to an assembled short-range infinitely adjustable guardrail using steel pipes. Background Technology

[0002] In standard practice, according to construction specifications, when working near an edge with a fall height of 2m or more above the reference plane, a guardrail should be installed on the exposed side. The spacing between the guardrail posts should not exceed 2m. When the length of the opening near the edge is less than 2m, steel pipes are often used to erect horizontal guardrails, vertical posts, and diagonal braces, or expansion bolts and fasteners are used to horizontally fix the steel pipes to the wall for protection.

[0003] However, the "greedy" approach has the following drawbacks: the erection and dismantling process is cumbersome; the railings being on the ground affects walking safety and subsequent construction; and the expansion bolts need to be removed later. Furthermore, because steel pipes come in various sizes, their compatibility with adjacent openings is poor, requiring considerable time to find suitable pipe lengths, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming.

[0004] Currently, some new approaches exist, but these approaches still have certain limitations. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN216305449U still uses a ground-mounted protective facility, and the adjustment method using fixed holes cannot be precisely adjusted. If steel pipes are used, drilling is required, which damages the material. Another example is the Chinese patent with publication number CN221095942U, which cannot utilize on-site steel pipe materials for protection, and using alternative materials would significantly increase costs. Therefore, there is a need for a prefabricated, short-range, infinitely adjustable guardrail using steel pipes to solve the problems of cumbersome assembly and disassembly procedures and poor dimensional matching in traditional methods. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an assembled short-range infinitely adjustable guardrail using steel pipes, thereby solving the existing technical problems.

The end limiter is located at the other end of the steel pipe. Small plugs are respectively provided on the end limiter and the square steel pipe, and the small plugs are inserted into the wall.

[0008] Furthermore, the square steel tube is fitted with limit marks on one end inside the steel tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustable limiter includes a main frame, a nut, and a screw. One end of the main frame is connected to a steel pipe, and a first reserved hole is provided at the top of the main frame. The nut is set at the top of the main frame, and the screw is threadedly connected to the nut. One end of the screw passes through the first reserved hole and abuts against the square steel pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the main frame is configured as a hollow rectangular structure, and the square steel tube is sleeved inside the main frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the end limiter includes a main sleeve, a nut, and a screw. The main sleeve is fitted onto the end of the steel pipe away from the square steel pipe.

However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are merely to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of this utility model, and these aspects can be achieved even without these specific details.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an assembled short-range infinitely adjustable guardrail using steel pipes includes a steel pipe 1, a square steel pipe 2, an adjustable limiter 3, and an end limiter 4. One end of the steel pipe 1 is sleeved on the outside of one end of the square steel pipe 2. The adjustable limiter 3 is located at one end of the steel pipe 1, and the steel pipe 1 and the square steel pipe 2 are connected by the adjustable limiter 3, which is used to adjust the length of the guardrail. The end limiter 4 is located at the other end of the steel pipe 1. Small plugs 6 are respectively provided on the end limiter 4 and the square steel pipe 2, and the small plugs 6 are inserted into a wall 11. A third pre-drilled hole 12 is provided on the wall 11, and the small plugs 6 are inserted into the third pre-drilled hole 12. In use, the end limiter 4 and the small plugs 6 on the square steel pipe 2 are respectively inserted into the third pre-drilled holes 12 on both sides of the wall 11, and the length of the guardrail is adjusted by the adjustable limiter 3 to meet actual needs.

[0023] In an embodiment of this utility model, the square steel pipe 2, which is fitted inside the steel pipe 1, has a limit mark 5 on one end. The steel pipe 1 adopts a commonly used steel pipe specification on site, and its length is adapted to the width of the protective opening, preferably 300~500mm. The square steel pipe 2 is adapted to the inner diameter of the steel pipe 1. The square steel pipe 2 should be able to be inserted into the steel pipe 1 without significant loosening or falling out. The length inserted into the steel pipe 1 should not be less than 250mm, and the extension limit mark 5 is marked at 250mm.

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, the adjustable limiter 3 includes a main frame 7, a nut 8, and a screw 9. One end of the main frame 7 is connected to the steel pipe 1. A first pre-drilled hole (not shown in the figure) is provided at the top of the main frame 7. The nut 8 is located at the top of the main frame 7 and is fixed to the main frame 7 by welding. The screw 9 is threadedly connected to the nut 8, and one end of the screw 9 passes through the first pre-drilled hole and abuts against the square steel pipe 2. The main frame 7 is a hollow rectangular structure, and the square steel pipe 2 is fitted inside the main frame 7. The square steel pipe 2 is sequentially fitted inside the main frame 7 and the steel pipe 1. When adjusting the length of the guardrail, the screw 9 is loosened and removed. The square steel pipe 2 is moved from inside the steel pipe 1 to a suitable position, and then the screw 9 is tightened to fix the square steel pipe 2.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the end limiter 4 includes a main sleeve 10, a nut 8, and a screw 9. The main sleeve 10 is fitted onto the outer side of the steel pipe 1 away from the square steel pipe 2. A second pre-drilled hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the top of the main sleeve 10. The nut 8 is located on the top of the main sleeve 10. The screw 9 is threadedly connected to the nut 8, and one end of the screw 9 passes through the first pre-drilled hole and abuts against the steel pipe 1. The steel pipe 1 is fitted inside the main sleeve 10, and the screw 9 is threadedly connected to the nut 8, so that one end of the screw 9 abuts against the steel pipe 1 and fixes it in place.

[0026] This invention effectively utilizes existing steel pipe materials, achieving installation without damaging the steel pipe material or requiring secondary processing through component assembly. The device connects and fixes the pipe, enabling short-range stepless adjustment to precisely fit the dimensions of adjacent openings.
