Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of guardrail connectors, and in particular to an aluminum alloy guardrail connector. Background Technology

[0002] In the installation and use of aluminum alloy guardrails, the connectors, as a key structure connecting the posts, railings, and other components, directly affect the stability and service life of the guardrail. Existing aluminum alloy guardrail connectors suffer from the following problems: Connectors and posts are typically fixed with bolts, but rainwater easily accumulates at the connection points, especially in the gaps between the connector and the post. Rainwater directly contacts the bolts, leading to bolt corrosion over time, which in turn loosens the connection between the frame and the post, affecting the overall stability of the guardrail; When assembling the railings and connectors, there is a lack of effective pre-alignment structures, requiring multiple adjustments to ensure horizontal and vertical alignment of the railings, resulting in low installation efficiency and a tendency for loose connections due to alignment deviations; After the railing is embedded in the connector, the friction between the end and the inner wall of the connector is limited, making it prone to slight displacement under external forces, which may exacerbate loosening of the connection over time. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide an aluminum alloy guardrail connector. The upper surface of the slider is inclined, and in conjunction with the groove on the side surface of the post, it can guide rainwater. The rainwater is guided through the groove to the slider, so that the slider can guide the rainwater to the side of the connecting frame, preventing rainwater from flowing to the bolts between the connecting frame and the post, causing corrosion to the bolts, resulting in loosening of the connecting frame and affecting the stability of the guardrail. The horizontal positioning plate and the vertical positioning plate can sequentially position the guardrail horizontally and vertically, which can complete the pre-positioning of the guardrail and improve the convenience of guardrail alignment. After the guardrail is embedded in the connecting frame, the spring piece at the end of the guardrail will be squeezed by the connecting frame, increasing the friction at the end of the guardrail and facilitating the connection of the guardrail.

[0004] This utility model also provides an aluminum alloy guardrail connector as described above, comprising: a base, an installation frame fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a column provided inside the installation frame, a cap fixedly connected to the upper surface of the column, a sliding groove provided on the side surface of the column, and a slider slidably connected to the inner side wall of the sliding groove; a connecting frame, a welding plate fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame, a vertical positioning plate and a horizontal positioning plate fixedly connected to the side surface of the welding plate, a railing provided inside the connecting frame, and a spring piece fixedly connected to the end of the railing. By using the above components, the upper surface of the slider is tilted, and in conjunction with the groove on the side surface of the column, rainwater can be guided. The rainwater is directed through the groove to the slider, allowing the slider to direct the rainwater to the side of the connecting frame. This prevents rainwater from flowing to the bolts between the connecting frame and the column, which could corrode the bolts, cause the connecting frame to loosen, and affect the stability of the railing. The horizontal and vertical positioning plates can be used to position the railing horizontally and vertically in sequence, completing the pre-positioning of the railing and improving the ease of alignment. After the railing is embedded in the connecting frame, the spring piece at the end of the railing will be squeezed by the connecting frame, increasing the friction at the end of the railing and facilitating the connection of the railing.

[0005] According to the present invention, an aluminum alloy guardrail connector is provided, wherein the mounting frame and the post are connected by bolts, and the upper surface of the cap is provided with rounded corners. These components facilitate quick installation of the post, and the rounded corners on the upper surface of the cap prevent injury to others.

[0006] According to the present invention, an aluminum alloy guardrail connector has four sliding grooves distributed in pairs on the front and rear sides of the column to ensure that the slider can rise and fall stably.

[0007] According to the aluminum alloy guardrail connector of this utility model, the upper surface of the slider is inclined, and there are two sliders located at the front and rear ends of the column. These components allow the sliders to guide rainwater from inside the groove to the outside of the connecting frame, increasing the stability of the connecting frame during lifting.

[0008] According to the present invention, an aluminum alloy guardrail connector is provided, wherein the inner wall of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the side surface of the slider, and two connecting frames are located at the upper and lower ends of the column. These components enable the slider to drive the connecting frames to rise and fall.

[0009] According to the present invention, an aluminum alloy guardrail connector is provided, wherein the welding plate is located at the end of the connecting frame away from the slider, and the vertical positioning plate and the horizontal positioning plate are inclined outwards from the connecting frame. These components provide installation positions for the vertical and horizontal positioning plates, enabling them to quickly position the guardrail.

[0010] According to the present invention, an aluminum alloy guardrail connector is provided, wherein the spring contacts are made of an aluminum alloy-rubber composite material, and four spring contacts are arranged in an array at the ends of the guardrail. These components enable the spring contacts to cooperate with the connecting frame to increase friction, facilitating the connection between the guardrail and the connecting frame.

[0011] According to the present invention, an aluminum alloy guardrail connector is provided, wherein the connecting frame and the guardrail are connected by bolts, which facilitates quick connection between the connecting frame and the guardrail. Beneficial effects

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has an inclined upper surface of the slider, which, together with the groove on the side surface of the column, can guide rainwater. The rainwater is guided through the groove to the slider, so that the slider can direct the rainwater to the side of the connecting frame, preventing rainwater from flowing to the bolts between the connecting frame and the column, causing corrosion to the bolts, loosening of the connecting frame, and affecting the stability of the railing. The horizontal positioning plate and the vertical positioning plate can sequentially position the railing horizontally and vertically, which can complete the pre-positioning of the railing and improve the convenience of railing alignment. After the railing is embedded in the connecting frame, the spring piece at the end of the railing will be squeezed by the connecting frame, increasing the friction at the end of the railing and facilitating the connection of the railing.

[0015] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0016] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an aluminum alloy guardrail connector, comprising: a base 1, an mounting frame 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a column 3 disposed inside the mounting frame 2, the mounting frame 2 and the column 3 being connected by bolts, a cap 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the column 3, the cap 4 having rounded corners on its upper surface, a sliding groove 5 formed on the side surface of the column 3, the sliding groove 5 having four grooves distributed in pairs on the front and rear sides of the column 3, a slider 6 slidably connected to the inner side wall of the sliding groove 5, the upper surface of the slider 6 being inclined, and two sliders 6 located at the front and rear ends of the column 3.

[0017] Specifically, the bottom end of the post 3 is embedded into the mounting frame 2 and secured with bolts. Then, the slider 6 is embedded into the groove 5, causing the slider 6 to lower the connecting frame 7. The connecting frame 7 is then secured with bolts, thus completing the quick installation of the connecting frame 7. The upper surface of the slider 6 is tilted, which, together with the groove 5 on the side surface of the post 3, guides rainwater. The rainwater is directed through the groove 5 to the slider 6, allowing the slider 6 to direct the rainwater to the side of the connecting frame 7. This prevents rainwater from flowing to the bolts between the connecting frame 7 and the post 3, which could corrode the bolts, cause the connecting frame 7 to loosen, and affect the stability of the guardrail.

[0018] The connecting frame 7 has its inner wall fixedly connected to the side surface of the slider 6. There are two connecting frames 7 located at the upper and lower ends of the column 3. A welding plate 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame 7. The welding plate 8 is located at the end of the connecting frame 7 away from the slider 6. A vertical positioning plate 9 and a horizontal positioning plate 10 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the welding plate 8. The vertical positioning plate 9 and the horizontal positioning plate 10 are inclined towards the outside of the connecting frame 7. A railing 11 is provided inside the connecting frame 7. The connecting frame 7 and the railing 11 are connected by bolts. A spring piece 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the railing 11. The spring piece 12 is made of aluminum alloy and rubber composite material. There are four spring pieces 12, which are arranged in an array at the end of the railing 11.

[0019] Specifically, the horizontal positioning plate 10 and the vertical positioning plate 9, which are set at an angle, can sequentially position the railing 11 horizontally and vertically, thus completing the pre-positioning of the railing 11 and improving the ease of alignment of the railing 11. After the railing 11 is embedded inside the connecting frame 7, the spring piece 12 at the end of the railing 11 will be squeezed by the connecting frame 7, increasing the friction at the end of the railing 11 and facilitating the connection of the railing 11.

[0020] Working principle: During use, the bottom end of the column 3 is embedded into the mounting frame 2 and secured with bolts. Then, the slider 6 is embedded into the groove 5, causing the slider 6 to lower the connecting frame 7. The connecting frame 7 is then secured with bolts, completing the quick installation of the connecting frame 7. The upper surface of the slider 6 is inclined, which, in conjunction with the groove 5 on the side surface of the column 3, guides rainwater through the groove 5 to the slider 6. This allows the slider 6 to direct rainwater to the side of the connecting frame 7, preventing rainwater from entering. Water flows to the bolts between the connecting frame 7 and the post 3, causing corrosion to the bolts and loosening the connecting frame 7, affecting the stability of the railing. The inclined horizontal positioning plate 10 and vertical positioning plate 9 can sequentially position the railing 11 horizontally and vertically, completing the pre-positioning of the railing 11 and improving the ease of alignment of the railing 11. After the railing 11 is embedded in the connecting frame 7, the spring piece 12 at the end of the railing 11 will be squeezed by the connecting frame 7, increasing the friction at the end of the railing 11 and facilitating the connection of the railing 11.

[0021] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
