Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of building protection devices, and in particular relates to a roof edge protection device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of photovoltaic power generation technology and the increasing national environmental protection requirements, small-scale photovoltaic power generation projects have also increased. This increase in small-scale photovoltaic power generation projects has also brought about more maintenance and repair work on power generation equipment.

[0003] Currently, most corrugated steel roofs with photovoltaic power stations lack safety measures. When maintenance personnel perform maintenance and repairs on small photovoltaic power generation equipment, a significant safety issue arises—maintenance and construction workers face the risk of falling when inspecting and installing equipment on the roof. This risk increases significantly when the roof is covered in snow or ice, or when personnel need to walk close to the roof edge, potentially leading to serious consequences. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a roof edge protection device.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A roof edge protection device includes a sliding beam, clamps, columns, crossbars, and hinge bases. The bottom of the sliding beam is movably equipped with multiple clamps, while the top is provided with multiple hinge bases. Each hinge base is movably equipped with a column. All columns fixed on the same sliding beam are connected to form a single-sided protective railing by installing crossbars.

[0007] Preferably, the top and bottom of the sliding beam are symmetrically formed with through trapezoidal grooves to allow the hinge base and the clamp to be movably assembled, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the hinge base and clamp can be displaced within the trapezoidal groove and then locked and positioned by the cooperation of bolts, nuts and washers.

[0009] Preferably, the clamp is a clamp for color steel tiles, which is used to clamp and reinforce or disassemble by tightening and loosening its own bolts and nuts.

[0010] Preferably, the column has multiple mounting holes for assembly with the hinge base and crossbar via bolts and nuts.

[0011] Preferably, the crossbar is also provided with multiple mounting holes for mounting to the column by means of bolts and nuts.

[0012] Preferably, the column, which is movably mounted on the hinge base by bolts and nuts, can be angled before being locked in place.

[0013] Preferably, there are multiple sets of the single-sided guardrail, which can be connected to each other to form a complete multi-sided fence on the corrugated steel roof.

[0014] Preferably, a safety net can also be hung on the single-sided guardrail.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This utility model has a simple and reasonable structure, and can be assembled and disassembled for reuse. The columns and crossbars can be modified using leftover materials from the construction site, saving costs and being environmentally friendly and material-saving.

[0018] 2. This utility model can replace the snap-fit ​​connection used in the previous installation of protective devices. It is lighter than the previous protective devices, which can greatly reduce the workload of workers and only requires a small number of workers to complete the installation.

[0019] 3. Based on the ability to disassemble and organize, this utility model can greatly reduce the space resources occupied by protective measures and equipment within a controllable range, improve the space utilization rate, reduce the damage to the surrounding environment caused by moving equipment during construction, and reduce the damage to the site caused by traditional protection from the root.

[0020] 4. When this utility model is installed on a non-horizontal roof, the worker can adjust the angle of the column before locking it to maximize the perpendicularity of the column to the ground during installation. This design not only increases the adaptability and practicality of this utility model to roofs with different inclination angles, but also significantly improves safety. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a roof edge protection device, mainly composed of a sliding beam 1, clamps 2, columns 3, crossbars 4 and hinge bases 5. The bottom of the sliding beam 1 is movably equipped with multiple clamps 2, while the top is provided with multiple hinge bases 5; each hinge base 5 is movably equipped with a column 3; all columns 3 fixed on the same sliding beam 1 form a single-sided protective railing 100 by installing crossbars 4.

[0029] The clamp 2 is a mature clamp for color steel tiles. It can clamp and reinforce or disassemble the protrusions on the color steel tile roof by tightening and loosening its own bolts and nuts. This design allows the present invention to have the advantages of easy installation, disassembly and storage, and can be used immediately after installation. It is also equipped with a column 3 and a crossbar 4. The column 3 has multiple mounting holes to be assembled with the hinge base 5 and the crossbar 4 by bolts and nuts. The crossbar 4 also has multiple mounting holes to be installed on the column 3 by bolts and nuts.

[0030] The sliding beam 1 has symmetrically formed through-type trapezoidal grooves 10 at its top and bottom to allow for the movable assembly of the hinge base 5 and the clamp 2. The number of clamps 2 and hinge bases 5 installed in the sliding beam 1 is variable. It can be noted that the number of clamps 2 is determined based on the protrusions on the corrugated steel roof and the length of one side of the corrugated steel roof. Of course, for greater overall stability, each protrusion on the corrugated steel roof can be reinforced with a clamp 2. If the number of clamps 2 is insufficient, clamps 2 can be installed at intervals to fix the single-sided guardrail 100. For details regarding the protrusions on the corrugated steel roof, please refer to... Figure 4The clamp 2 secures the protrusion on the corrugated steel roof. The hinge bases 5 are arranged and numbered similarly to clamp 2, and can be configured according to the length of the corrugated steel roof, the length of the crossbar 4, and the number of hinge bases 5. It can be further explained that since the hinge bases 5 and clamp 2 are movably assembled in the slide beam 1 using nuts and bolts, they can be displaced within the trapezoidal groove 10 and then locked in place by the cooperation of bolts, nuts, and washers. This allows for adjustments based on length, quantity, etc., making the installation of this invention more flexible, adaptable, and practical.

[0031] It is worth noting that the upright 3, which is movably mounted on the hinge base 5 via bolts and nuts, can be angled before locking. This design allows workers to adjust the angle of the upright 3 before locking it when the invention is installed on a non-level roof, ensuring that the upright 3 is as perpendicular to the ground as possible. This design not only increases the adaptability and practicality of the invention to roofs with different inclination angles but also significantly improves safety. Furthermore, to further enhance safety, a safety net can be hung after installation to prevent excessive gaps between the upright 3 and the crossbar 4, which could cause tools or materials to fall from the roof and cause other accidents.

[0032] This utility model has a simple and reasonable structure, and can be assembled and disassembled for reuse. A single-sided guardrail of 100 can be made into multiple sets, which can be connected to each other to form a complete multi-sided fence on a colored tile steel roof. The posts and crossbars can be modified using leftover materials from the construction site, saving costs and being environmentally friendly and material-saving.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
