The bracket 21 is connected to the upper end of the angle steel 12 of the guard post 1, and the pressure alarm 22 is installed on the bracket 21. When the pressure alarm 22 is pressed by the pressing component 3, it can emit an audible alarm.

[0035] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the pressing component 3 includes a mounting plate 31 and a pressing block 32. The mounting plate 31 can be a flat plate, which is mounted on the column 10 by fasteners, and the pressing block 32 is mounted on the mounting plate 31.

[0036] In this embodiment, the elastic buffer 4 is preferably a compression spring, with one end connected to the mounting plate 31 and the other end connected to the bracket 21. The pressure block 32 on the mounting plate 31 is located inside the compression spring, and the pressure alarm 22 is also located inside the compression spring.

[0037] Better, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 21 of the alarm component 2 is provided with a first annular sleeve 23, and the mounting plate 31 of the pressing component 3 is provided with a second annular sleeve 33. The two ends of the compression spring are respectively located on the first annular sleeve 23 and the second annular sleeve 33. The two annular sleeves are used to limit and guide the compression spring. The compression spring is in a pre-compressed state when installed, that is, when the guard post 1 is not impacted, the compression spring is in a pre-compressed state. In this way, it can be ensured that when the guard post 1 is impacted, the compression spring can absorb the impact force in time.

[0038] This utility model uses specific embodiments to illustrate the principle and implementation of the utility model. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​the utility model.
