[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] As described in the background section, most existing gate arms are designed as an integral, non-separable unit, which results in a large space occupation during transportation. This not only significantly increases logistics and transportation costs, but also often requires the entire system to be replaced when a part of the structure is damaged. This leads to material waste and prolongs the on-site maintenance cycle, seriously affecting the operation and maintenance efficiency of the gate system.

[0021] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a modular gate arm assembly device, which is applied to traffic equipment.

[0022] For details, please refer to Figures 1-5 The modular gate arm assembly device specifically includes: It includes a barrier gate housing 1 and a fixing sleeve 2. The fixing sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the barrier gate housing 1. A first gate arm 3 is fixedly installed inside the fixing sleeve 2. A splicing component 4 is installed at one end of the first gate arm 3. A second gate arm 5 is installed at the end of the splicing component 4 away from the first gate arm 3. Two symmetrically arranged reinforcing components 6 are installed inside the second gate arm 5.

[0023] The modular gate arm assembly device provided by this utility model enables the rapid assembly and separation of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 through the splicing component 4. This allows the device to be disassembled into independent components during transportation, significantly reducing the space occupied. At the same time, the modular disassembly and assembly enables rapid replacement in case of partial damage, significantly reducing maintenance costs and time. Furthermore, after connecting the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 using the splicing component 4, the reinforcing component 6 is snapped together to form a mechanical interlock, further reinforcing the splice joint of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5. This significantly improves the impact resistance of the splice joint and effectively prevents the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 from displacing or loosening under dynamic loads, ensuring structural stability.

[0024] It is worth noting that the barrier gate housing 1 is existing technology. It converts the rotational motion into the lifting action of the gate arm through a motor-driven transmission mechanism. After receiving the controller command, the motor is powered on and rotates. The speed is reduced and the torque is increased through a reduction gear or worm gear mechanism. Then, the power is transmitted to the fixed sleeve 2 through a four-bar linkage device or main shaft drive arm to achieve a 90-degree up and down swing. This will not be elaborated on here.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-5 A modular gate arm assembly device includes a gate housing 1 and a fixing sleeve 2. The fixing sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the gate housing 1. A first gate arm 3 is fixedly installed inside the fixing sleeve 2. A splicing component 4 is installed at one end of the first gate arm 3. A second gate arm 5 is installed at the end of the splicing component 4 away from the first gate arm 3. Two symmetrically arranged reinforcing components 6 are installed inside the second gate arm 5. The splicing component 4 includes a locking block 401 and a splicing groove 402. The locking block 401 is fixedly connected to the first gate arm 3 away from the gate housing. At one end of 1, the splicing groove 402 is opened at the end of the second gate arm 5 near the first gate arm 3. The inner wall of the splicing groove 402 away from the first gate arm 3 is provided with a slot 403. The front end of the locking block 401 and the slot 403 are engaged. The initial positioning of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 is completed by the insertion and engagement of the locking block 401 and the slot 403. This enables quick alignment and installation, reduces manual adjustment time, and ensures that the axes of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 are accurately aligned, avoiding stress concentration caused by misalignment.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-4As shown, the first gate arm 3 has a fixing rod 404 rotatably connected to one side of both its upper and lower side walls. The second gate arm 5 has fixing holes 405 on one side of both its upper and lower side walls. The inner walls of both fixing holes 405 are provided with internal threads. Fixing bolts 406 pass through one side of the upper end of both fixing rods 404. The two fixing bolts 406 are symmetrically arranged and are threaded into the two fixing holes 405 respectively. After the locking block 401 is inserted into the locking groove 403, the two fixing rods 404 are rotated so that the fixing bolts 406 are aligned with the two fixing holes 405. Then, the fixing bolts 406 are tightened so that the two fixing rods... The 404 stainless steel is installed on the upper and lower sides of the joint between the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5, effectively offsetting the shear force when the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 swing, preventing the joint from loosening or shifting due to dynamic loads. At the same time, it evenly distributes stress to the side walls of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5, avoiding local overload deformation, significantly improving the impact resistance and long-term stability of the connection structure. It also enables the rapid assembly and separation of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5, allowing the device to be disassembled into independent components during transportation, greatly reducing the space occupied. Furthermore, modular disassembly and assembly enable rapid replacement in case of local damage, significantly reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0030] Example 2 further optimizes the modular gate arm assembly device provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing component 6 includes a sliding cavity 601, which is formed on the inner wall of the second gate arm 5. A lifting plate 602 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity 601. Multiple springs 603 are fixedly connected to the lower edge of the lifting plate 602. The lower ends of the multiple springs 603 are all fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity 601 near the locking block 401. The reinforcing component 6 is locked together to form a mechanical interlock, thereby further reinforcing the joint between the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5, significantly improving the impact resistance of the joint, effectively preventing the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 from displacing or loosening under dynamic load, and ensuring structural stability.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a limiting block 604 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side wall of the lifting plate 602 near the locking block 401. A limiting groove 605 is opened on the side wall of the locking block 401 near the sliding cavity 601. The limiting block 604 penetrates the inner wall of the sliding cavity 601 near the locking block 401, and the limiting block 604 and the limiting groove 605 are engaged. When the limiting block 604 moves into the limiting groove 605, it further limits the two sides of the locking block 401, further strengthens the joint of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5, and significantly improves the impact resistance of the joint.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, a pressing block 606 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the lifting plate 602 away from the locking block 401. The pressing block 606 penetrates the inner wall of the sliding cavity 601 away from the locking block 401 and is slidably disposed on the outside. The two ends of the pressing block 606 are inclined. When the fixing rod 404 is rotated so that the fixing bolt 406 is aligned with the fixing hole 405, the side wall of the fixing rod 404 will contact the inclined surface of the pressing block 606 and apply a pushing force to the pressing block 606. The inclined surface of the pressing block 606 decomposes the pushing force, so that the pressing block 606 is subjected to a downward pushing force. The spring 603 contracts, so that the limiting block 604 can automatically move into the limiting groove 605. This realizes the simultaneous completion of splicing operation and reinforcement action, and forms a mechanical interlock without additional steps. This simplifies the installation process and ensures the connection strength of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiting block 604 has an anti-slip pad layer on the side near the locking block 401. The anti-slip pad layer is made of soft rubber. The anti-slip pad layer can effectively increase the static friction coefficient of the contact surface, so that the limiting block 604 can be stably located in the limiting groove 605. At the same time, the elasticity of the anti-slip pad layer can absorb the slight deformation stress at the splice, avoid wear caused by direct friction between metal parts, and extend the service life.

[0034] Example 3 further optimizes the modular gate arm assembly device provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 are provided with multiple grooves on their side walls, which can effectively reduce the overall weight without reducing the structural strength. In addition, the array distribution of the grooves can disperse stress concentration, inhibit crack propagation, and extend the fatigue life of the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 under long-term load.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of mounting bolts 7 pass through one end of the first gate arm 3. All mounting bolts 7 are threadedly connected to the clamping block 401, which can realize a reliable rigid connection between the first gate arm 3 and the clamping block 401. The uniform distribution of the mounting bolts 7 can disperse the force and avoid structural deformation caused by local stress concentration. At the same time, the threaded connection facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, multiple mounting holes 8 are provided on one side of the upper side wall of the first gate arm 3. The inner walls of the multiple mounting holes 8 are provided with internal threads. Multiple limiting bolts 9 pass through the upper end of the fixing sleeve 2, and the multiple limiting bolts 9 are threaded into the multiple mounting holes 8 respectively. This enables modular and rapid assembly of the first gate arm 3 and the fixing sleeve 2. The threaded structure ensures the connection strength and facilitates disassembly and maintenance in the later stage. At the same time, the even distribution of multiple limiting bolts 9 can balance the force and avoid structural deformation caused by stress concentration at a single point. This ensures that the first gate arm 3 maintains stable positioning during long-term operation and improves the reliability and installation flexibility of the overall structure.

[0037] The modular gate arm assembly device provided by this utility model is used as follows: Insert the locking block 401 at one end of the first gate rod 3 into the locking slot 403 in the splicing groove 402 to complete the initial positioning and ensure that the axes of the first gate rod 3 and the second gate rod 5 are aligned to avoid stress concentration. Then, rotate the fixing rod 404 to the fixing hole 405 facing the second gate rod 5 and tighten the fixing bolt 406 to form a rigid lock through the threaded connection. The upper and lower symmetrical fixing rods 404 evenly distribute the shear force to prevent the splice from loosening or shifting under dynamic load. The splicing component 4 enables the rapid assembly and separation of the first gate rod 3 and the second gate rod 5, so that the device can be disassembled into independent components during transportation, which greatly reduces the space occupied. At the same time, the modular disassembly and assembly enables rapid replacement in case of partial damage, which significantly reduces maintenance costs and time. When the fixed rod 404 rotates, the inclined surface of the compression block 606 is pushed, decomposing the horizontal force into a vertical thrust, driving the lifting plate 602 to press down. The spring 603 is compressed and contracts, causing the limiting block 604 to slide into the limiting groove 605 of the locking block 401, forming a mechanical interlock. This further reinforces the joint between the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5, significantly improving the impact resistance of the joint and effectively preventing the first gate arm 3 and the second gate arm 5 from shifting or loosening under dynamic load, thus ensuring structural stability.
