Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guardrail technology, and in particular to a corrugated guardrail for highways. Background Technology

[0002] On highways, corrugated guardrails are important safety protection facilities. Their main function is to prevent vehicles from running off the road and to protect the lives of drivers and passengers.

[0003] However, traditional corrugated guardrails have limited functionality, offering only basic protection. When a vehicle collides with the guardrail, management personnel often cannot promptly detect the impact and take appropriate measures, such as inspecting the guardrail damage or managing traffic. This can lead to secondary accidents and further threaten road safety. Furthermore, traditional guardrail detection equipment typically requires an external power source, increasing installation and maintenance costs. In some remote areas, obtaining external power is difficult, limiting the use of such equipment. Therefore, developing a highway corrugated guardrail that provides timely warnings after a vehicle collision and has self-powered capabilities is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where, after a vehicle collides with a guardrail, management personnel often cannot promptly learn of the collision and take corresponding measures, such as checking the damage to the guardrail or directing traffic, which may lead to secondary accidents and further threaten road traffic safety. Therefore, this utility model proposes a highway corrugated guardrail.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A highway corrugated guardrail includes a corrugated guardrail body fixed to a support rod. The corrugated guardrail body has an installation groove, and an insert rod is movably inserted through the installation groove. A connecting block is fixed to the side end of the insert rod. A set of detection modules is provided in the connecting block. The detection modules include a vibration sensor for detecting collisions, a wireless transmission module, and a self-powered component.

[0007] The insertion rod has a first groove, a sliding plate slides in the first groove, a third groove is provided in the sliding plate, and two clamping plates are slidably arranged in the third groove. The two clamping plates are used to cooperate with the connecting block to clamp the surface of the wave guardrail body. The sliding plate is provided with an elastic component for pushing the two clamping plates out of the surface of the insertion rod.

[0008] The insertion rod is equipped with a set of positioning components, which are used to facilitate fixing the connecting block to the main body of the wave-shaped guardrail.

[0009] In one possible design, the elastic component includes a spring, the two ends of which abut against the adjacent ends of the two plates via spring seats.

[0010] In one possible design, both plates have beveled grooves at the ends away from the connecting block, and the two beveled grooves are designed to facilitate compression by the mounting groove.

[0011] The two inclined grooves are squeezed by the inner wall of the mounting groove, which drives the two clamping plates into the third groove, so that the two clamping plates do not protrude from the surface of the insertion rod. When the clamping plates leave the mounting groove, the elasticity of the spring pushes the two clamping plates to protrude from the surface of the insertion rod so that they can cooperate with the connecting block.

[0012] In one possible design, the positioning component includes a second groove formed inside the insert and communicating with the first groove, a nut fixed inside the second groove, a screw threadedly connected to the nut, and the side end of the screw rotating at the side end of the slide plate;

[0013] In this process, by turning the screw, the screw moves linearly within the nut, and the screw drives the sliding plate and two clamping plates to clamp the main body of the corrugated guardrail in conjunction with the connecting block.

[0014] In one possible design, the end of the connecting block near the insertion rod is fixed with an anti-slip pad.

[0015] In one possible design, the self-powered component includes a photovoltaic cell housed within a connecting block, with a solar panel electrically connected to the photovoltaic cell fixed to the side of the connecting block, and the photovoltaic cell being connected to a vibration sensor and a wireless transmission module.

[0016] In one possible design, the solar panel is tilted.

[0017] In one possible design, the connecting block contains a GPS positioning module.

[0018] In this application, the inner wall of the mounting groove squeezes the two inclined grooves, causing the two clamping plates to enter the third groove, so that the two clamping plates do not protrude from the surface of the insertion rod. When the clamping plates leave the mounting groove, the elasticity of the spring pushes the two clamping plates to protrude from the surface of the insertion rod so that they can cooperate with the connecting block.

[0019] By turning the screw, the screw moves linearly within the nut, and the screw drives the sliding plate and two clamping plates to clamp the main body of the corrugated guardrail in conjunction with the connecting block.

[0020] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the highway wave-shaped guardrail, by setting a detection module, the vibration sensor in which can detect the vibration generated when a vehicle collides with the guardrail in real time. Once a collision is detected, the wireless transmission module will immediately transmit the signal to the remote monitoring center, so that the management personnel can know the collision situation in time and take countermeasures quickly, such as arranging personnel to go to the scene to check the extent of the guardrail damage and direct traffic, effectively avoiding secondary accidents and improving the driving safety of highways.

[0021] In this utility model, the positioning component of the highway corrugated guardrail allows the connecting block to be firmly fixed to the main body of the corrugated guardrail. By turning the screw, the sliding plate and the clamping plate can be moved, and the clamping force can be adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure a stable connection between the connecting block and the main body of the corrugated guardrail, thereby improving the reliability of the detection module.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0028] In one embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-4A guardrail includes a corrugated guardrail body 1, which is fixed to a support rod. An installation groove 2 is formed within the corrugated guardrail body 1, the size of which is determined according to actual needs to ensure it can accommodate subsequent components. A plug rod 3 is movably inserted through the installation groove 2, allowing it some room to move within the groove. A connecting block 4 is fixed to the side end of the plug rod 3, and the connection between the connecting block 4 and the plug rod 3 can be a secure connection method such as welding or bolting.

[0029] A set of detection modules is installed within connection block 4. These modules include a vibration sensor, a wireless transmission module, and a self-powered component. The vibration sensor detects vibrations generated when a vehicle collides with the guardrail; its sensitivity can be selected according to actual detection requirements. The wireless transmission module transmits the signals detected by the vibration sensor to a remote monitoring center; the transmission distance is set according to the actual conditions of the highway. The self-powered component provides power to the vibration sensor and the wireless transmission module.

[0030] A first groove 6 is formed within the insert rod 3. The depth and width of the first groove 6 are designed according to the dimensions of the slide plate 10. The slide plate 10 is placed within the first groove 6, allowing it to slide within the groove. A third groove 11 is formed within the slide plate 10. The dimensions of the third groove 11 are determined according to the dimensions of the clamping plate 13. Two clamping plates 13 are slidably placed within the third groove 11. The two clamping plates 13 are identical in shape and size and are used to engage with the connecting block 4 to clamp onto the surface of the wave-shaped guardrail body 1. An elastic component is provided within the slide plate 10. The elastic component includes a spring 12. The two ends of the spring 12 abut against the adjacent ends of the two clamping plates 13 via spring seats. The elastic coefficient of the spring 12 is selected according to the actual clamping requirements to ensure sufficient elastic force to make the clamping plates 13 protrude from the surface of the insert rod 3.

[0031] A positioning assembly is provided inside the insertion rod 3. The positioning assembly includes a second groove 7 that is formed inside the insertion rod 3 and communicates with the first groove 6. The size of the second groove 7 is designed according to the size of the nut 8 and the screw 9. The nut 8 is fixed in the second groove 7, and the fixing method can be welding or interference fit. The screw 9 is threaded into the nut 8, and the side end of the screw 9 rotates to the side end of the slide plate 10. The rotational connection can be a bearing connection, so that the rotation of the screw 9 can drive the slide plate 10 to move.

[0032] Both clamping plates 13 have beveled grooves 14 at their ends furthest from the connecting block 4. The inclination angle of the beveled grooves 14 is designed according to the shape of the inner wall of the mounting groove 2 to ensure that the inner wall of the mounting groove 2 can smoothly press the beveled grooves 14 during installation. During installation, the inner wall of the mounting groove 2 presses the two beveled grooves 14, causing the two clamping plates 13 to enter the third groove 11, so that the two clamping plates 13 do not protrude from the surface of the insertion rod 3, making it convenient for the insertion rod 3 to be inserted into the mounting groove 2. After the clamping plates 13 leave the mounting groove 2, the elasticity of the spring 12 pushes the two clamping plates 13 to protrude from the surface of the insertion rod 3, cooperating with the connecting block 4 to clamp the corrugated guardrail body 1.

[0033] Tighten the screw 9, and the screw 9 will move linearly within the nut 8. Since the side end of the screw 9 is rotatably connected to the slide plate 10, the screw 9 will drive the slide plate 10 to move. The slide plate 10 will drive the two clamping plates 13 to move, so that the two clamping plates 13, together with the connecting block 4, will clamp the corrugated guardrail body 1 more firmly.

[0034] A non-slip pad is fixed at one end of the connecting block 4 near the insertion rod 3. The non-slip pad can be made of rubber or other materials with anti-slip properties to increase the friction between the connecting block 4 and the corrugated guardrail body 1 and improve the stability of the clamping.

[0035] In another embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-4 A type of highway corrugated guardrail, applied in the field of guardrail technology, includes a self-powered component comprising photovoltaic cells housed within a connecting block 4. A solar panel 5 is fixed to the side of the connecting block 4, and the solar panel 5 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic cells. The photovoltaic cells are connected to a vibration sensor and a wireless transmission module, providing them with power. The solar panel 5 is tilted, with the tilt angle determined according to local sunshine conditions, typically between 30° and 60°, to improve solar energy absorption efficiency.

[0036] A GPS positioning module is installed inside the connecting block 4. The GPS positioning module is connected to the wireless transmission module to locate the position of the guardrail in real time, so that managers can understand the status and location information of the guardrail in a timely manner.

[0037] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
