Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of horticultural facilities technology, and in particular to a flower box suspended using a bridge slab railing. Background Technology

[0002] Urban vertical greening, as an innovative measure to overcome land resource constraints, is demonstrating significant ecological benefits and social value. As a core hub of the urban transportation network, overpasses have successfully created multi-dimensional ecological landscape corridors through the innovative application of vertically suspended flower box systems, achieving a multiplier effect on green coverage within limited space. This creates an urban image of "driving through a sea of ​​flowers," providing residents with a more fulfilling travel experience and contributing to the construction of garden cities and the achievement of sustainable development goals.

[0003] Flower boxes are often installed above the crash barriers and guardrails of bridges. However, some guardrails have narrow cross-sections, making it difficult to place flower boxes. Complex installation methods are required to mount the flower boxes on top of the guardrails. The base area of ​​the flower box is often larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the guardrail, which not only causes instability but also causes the flower box to extend towards the road surface, reducing the usable road area and potentially leading to collisions with vehicles and damage to the flower box. Utility Model Content

[0004] To simplify the installation of flower boxes and improve their stability, this application provides a flower box that is suspended using a bridge slab railing.

[0005] The present application provides a flower box suspended using a bridge slab railing, which adopts the following technical solution: A flower box suspended using a bridge single-panel guardrail includes a crash barrier, a guardrail, and a flower box. The guardrail is installed on the crash barrier, and the crash barrier is provided with multiple posts for supporting and connecting the guardrail. The flower box is installed on the side of the guardrail away from the road surface, and the guardrail is provided with a fixing device for fixing and connecting the flower box. The flower box contains multiple flower pots, and the flower box body and the fixing device are detachably connected.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the flower boxes are suspended and installed on the outside of the guardrail using a fixing device. This not only improves the stability of the flower boxes but also simplifies the installation and increases installation efficiency. The flower boxes have a large capacity and can hold flower pots of different sizes and in different quantities. This not only beautifies the environment and relieves visual fatigue for passersby, but also avoids the flower boxes occupying roadside space when suspended on the outside of the guardrail.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing device includes multiple steel pipes and multiple horizontal keels. The steel pipes are fixedly connected to the guardrail, and the horizontal keels pass through the flower box and are fixedly connected to the post through U-shaped clamps. The middle part of the U-shaped clamp is clamped to the post, and its two ends abut against the horizontal keels. It is also fixedly connected to the steel pipe by bolts passing through the horizontal keels.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, using U-shaped clamps and bolts to fix the horizontal keel running through the flower box to the guardrail post of the overpass, the guardrail exerts an inward pulling force on the flower box through the horizontal keel, thus maintaining the position of the flower box.

[0009] Preferably, multiple longitudinal keels are provided between the transverse keels.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, adding longitudinal keels can enhance the connection strength and support strength of the flower box.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom part of the flower box abuts against the top of the anti-collision wall, and a plurality of wedge-shaped support frames are fixedly provided at the bottom of the flower box, with the wedge-shaped support frames abutting against the respective anti-collision walls.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom of the flower box abuts against the upper part of the anti-collision wall, the top of the anti-collision wall can provide support for the flower box, and the wedge-shaped support frame abuts against the anti-collision wall. Without damaging the anti-collision wall, the anti-collision wall provides support for the flower box through the wedge-shaped support frame, thereby improving the stability of the flower box.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the side walls at both ends of the flower box is provided with a drain pipe for drainage.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the drainage pipe installed on the flower box can drain the water accumulated in the flower box on rainy days, avoiding the possibility of plants dying due to excessive water accumulation in the flower box.

[0015] Preferably, the flower box is provided with an irrigation main pipe and an irrigation branch pipe for irrigation, as well as a sleeve for installing irrigation control lines. The irrigation branch pipe is connected to the irrigation main pipe and is used to water the plants in the flower pot.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the main irrigation pipe and branch irrigation pipe can deliver water to the flowerpots during drought, improve the maintenance system for the plants in the flowerpots, reduce the replacement rate of flowerpots, and thus reduce costs.

[0017] Preferably, the horizontal keel, the vertical keel, the wedge-shaped support frame, as well as the drainage pipe, irrigation main pipe, irrigation branch pipe, and sleeve are all connected and installed together with the flower box before the flower box is installed on the guardrail.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, before installation, the horizontal keel, vertical keel, wedge support frame, etc. are first installed and connected to the flower box. At this time, the installation is convenient and can be carried out simultaneously in production, avoiding the laborious and time-consuming installation of all structures on the outside of the guardrail. When installing the flower box on the guardrail, it is only necessary to fix the horizontal keel to the column and steel pipe with U-shaped clamps.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Hanging the flower boxes on the outside of the guardrail using a fixing device can not only improve the stability of the flower boxes, but also simplify the installation and improve the installation efficiency; the flower boxes have a large capacity and can hold flower pots of different sizes and quantities, which can not only beautify the environment and relieve visual fatigue of passers-by, but also avoid the flower boxes occupying roadside space when hung on the outside of the guardrail. 2. Using U-shaped clamps and bolts for fixing, the horizontal keel running through the flower box is fixed to the guardrail post of the overpass using U-shaped clamps and bolts. The guardrail applies an inward pulling force to the flower box through the horizontal keel to maintain the position of the flower box. 3. The bottom of the flower box rests against the top of the crash barrier, and the top of the crash barrier provides support for the flower box. The wedge-shaped support frame rests against the crash barrier. Without damaging the crash barrier, the crash barrier provides support for the flower box through the wedge-shaped support frame, thereby improving the stability of the flower box.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses a flower box suspended using a bridge slab railing.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, a flower box suspended from a bridge single-panel guardrail includes a crash barrier 1, a guardrail 2, a flower box 3, and posts 4. The guardrail 2 is installed on the crash barrier 1. Multiple posts 4 for connecting and supporting the guardrail 2 are fixedly installed sequentially at the top of the crash barrier 1. The posts 4 are fixedly welded to the guardrail 2. The flower box 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the guardrail 2 away from the road surface by a fixing device. The flower box 3 is generally rectangular and can hold multiple flower pots. The flower box 3 is detachably connected to the guardrail 2.

[0026] Both ends of the flower box 3 are equipped with drainage pipes 6 that connect to the inside of the flower box 3 for drainage. The drainage pipes 6 can drain the water accumulated inside the flower box 3 to prevent excessive water accumulation from affecting plant growth. Along its length, the flower box 3 has an irrigation main pipe 8 and an irrigation branch pipe 7 for irrigating the plants, as well as a sleeve 9 for installing irrigation control lines. The irrigation branch pipe 7 is connected to the irrigation main pipe 8 and is connected to the flower pot for watering the plants in the flower pot to prevent drought from affecting their growth. Irrigation water flows from the irrigation main pipe 8 into the irrigation branch pipe 7, and then from the irrigation branch pipe 7 into the flower pot, completing the watering and maintenance of the plants.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing device 5 includes multiple steel pipes 10 and multiple horizontal keels 11. The steel pipes 10 are fixedly welded to the guardrail 2. The number of steel pipes 10 and horizontal keels 11 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In this embodiment, there are four steel pipes 10 and two horizontal keels 11. The four steel pipes 10 are fixedly welded to the lower end face of the guardrail 2 at adjacent posts 4 and correspond to the four corners of the flower box 3 near the side wall of the guardrail. The two horizontal keels 11 pass through the top and bottom of the side wall of the flower box 3 near the guardrail 2, respectively. The two horizontal keels 11 are fixedly connected to the posts 4 by a U-shaped clamp 12 and a bolt 13. The bolt 13 is connected to the steel pipe 10. Alternatively, the steel pipes 10 can be omitted, and the bolt 13 can be connected to the guardrail.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple longitudinal keels 15 are fixedly welded between the two horizontal keels 11 to strengthen the connection and improve the stability of the flower box 3. The bottom part of the flower box 3 abuts against the top of the anti-collision wall 1, which provides support for the flower box 3. Multiple wedge-shaped support frames 14 are fixedly installed on the bottom part of the flower box 3 that does not abut against the anti-collision wall 1. The wedge-shaped support frames 14 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the multiple longitudinal keels 15. The side of the wedge-shaped support frame 14 closest to the anti-collision wall 1 abuts against the side wall of the anti-collision wall without bolt connection to avoid damage to the wall.

[0029] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: Before installing the flower box 3 and the guardrail 2, the wedge-shaped support 14 and other structures connected to the flower box 3 are first installed and connected. Then, the flower box 3 and its connecting structures are installed as a whole on the guardrail 2. The transverse keel 11 running through the flower box 3 is fixed to the viaduct guardrail 2 and the column 4 using U-shaped clamps 12 and bolts 13. The bottom of the flower box 3 rests on the top of the crash barrier 1, receiving partial support from the crash barrier 3. Because the guardrail 2 is also installed on top of the crash barrier 3, the contact area between the top of the crash barrier 1 and the flower box 3 is relatively narrow. At this time, part of the bottom of the flower box 3 is still suspended, causing the side of the flower box 3 away from the guardrail 2 to tend to tilt and fall. The wedge-shaped support frame 14 is connected to the bottom of the flower box 3 and abuts against the side wall of the crash barrier 1, providing additional support for the flower box 3, sharing part of the weight of the flower box 3 and other possible external forces, thus enhancing the stability of the flower box 3. Under the tension of the horizontal keel 11, the support of the anti-collision wall 1, and the abutment support of the wedge-shaped support frame 14, the flower box 3 is firmly connected to the guardrail 2, which restricts the movement of the flower box in the horizontal and vertical directions and prevents the flower box from being displaced or overturned due to external forces such as wind force or vibration caused by vehicle movement.

[0030] When removal is required, simply remove the U-shaped clamp 12. Similarly, during installation, it is only necessary to connect using the U-shaped clamp 12. Since the U-shaped clamp 12 is located close to the guardrail 2, the installation can be completed by the staff on the side of the guardrail 2, thus simplifying the installation process.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
