[0002] In the operation and management of tourist attractions, guardrails, as basic safety protection facilities, are widely used in areas such as viewing platforms, boardwalks, mountain paths, and densely populated passageways. Their core functions are to delineate visitor areas, guide the flow of people, prevent tourists from falling or entering dangerous areas, and ensure the safety of tourists during their regular visits. Existing scenic area guardrails have relatively simple structural forms, mostly using fixed metal, concrete, or wooden guardrails. The materials and structural designs are primarily focused on meeting basic safety protection needs, providing only basic protective functions such as isolation and obstruction.
[0003] However, tourist attractions, being places with high population density and frequent movement of people, are prone to sudden safety incidents. These include situations such as tourists experiencing sudden illness or injury requiring emergency treatment, or the risk of stampedes due to excessive crowds during holidays and peak tourist seasons. In these emergency situations, existing guardrails lack the necessary emergency rescue assistance functions. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this utility model provide a dual-purpose guardrail equipment for tourist attractions, which solves the technical problem that existing scenic guardrails mostly only have the single function of conventional safety protection, making it difficult to achieve rapid emergency response and rescue in emergency scenarios such as sudden tourist injuries or stampedes.
[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention provides a dual-purpose (flat and emergency) guardrail device for tourist attractions, for installation between two adjacent guardrails, comprising: The protective body has an emergency storage compartment inside, which is used to store emergency rescue items. A storage door is hinged to the side of the protective body, and the storage door can be opened or closed by swinging the emergency storage compartment. Two upright posts are respectively located on both sides of the protective body, and warning lights are installed on the upright posts; A door control detection switch is provided on the protective body and is set at the free end of the storage compartment door. It is used to detect the opening and closing status of the storage compartment door and output a status detection signal. A control module is disposed on the protective body. The signal input terminal of the control module is electrically connected to the signal output terminal of the door control detection switch, and the signal output terminal of the control module is electrically connected to the controlled terminal of the warning light. It is used to control the opening or closing of the warning light according to the status detection signal sent by the door control detection switch.
[0006] For example, in a dual-purpose guardrail equipment for tourist attractions provided in at least one embodiment of this utility model, a photovoltaic module is fixedly mounted on the top of the protective body, and the power output terminal of the photovoltaic module is electrically connected to the control module to provide working power for the warning lights and the control module.
[0007] For example, in at least one embodiment of this utility model, a dual-purpose guardrail for tourist attractions is provided, in which the storage compartment door is made of a transparent and light-transmitting material.
[0008] For example, in a dual-purpose guardrail equipment for tourist attractions provided in at least one embodiment of this utility model, the column includes a bearing section in the middle and connecting sections at both ends of the bearing section. Both ends of the protective body are provided with connecting sleeves, and the two connecting sections are correspondingly sleeved on the connecting sleeves and are detachably engaged with the connecting sleeves.
[0009] For example, in a dual-purpose (flat and emergency) guardrail equipment for tourist attractions provided in at least one embodiment of this utility model, the photovoltaic module is inclined.
[0010] For example, in a dual-purpose (normal and emergency) guardrail equipment for tourist attractions provided in at least one embodiment of this utility model, the emergency storage cavity is provided with a partition plate, which is used to divide the emergency storage cavity into multiple chambers.
[0011] For example, in a dual-purpose guardrail equipment for tourist attractions provided in at least one embodiment of this utility model, one end of the column is provided with a base, which is used to contact the ground.
[0012] For example, in at least one embodiment of this utility model, a dual-purpose guardrail device for tourist attractions is provided, in which the connecting section is slidably connected to the connecting sleeve.
[0013] For example, in at least one embodiment of this utility model, a dual-purpose guardrail for tourist attractions is provided, in which two posts and the protective body together form a guardrail unit, the guardrail unit having a length of 1.5m and a height of 1.2m.
[0014] For example, in a dual-purpose guardrail equipment for tourist attractions provided in at least one embodiment of this utility model, a status monitoring sensor is provided inside the emergency storage compartment. The status monitoring sensor is used to monitor the status of emergency rescue items inside the emergency storage compartment in real time.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, the protective body can realize the conventional protective functions of scenic area guardrails, such as area division and pedestrian flow guidance. Its internal emergency storage cavity can store emergency rescue items, and the hinged storage compartment door provides a convenient passage for the retrieval of emergency items, so that the guardrail has both conventional protection and emergency storage capabilities, breaking the single functional limitation of traditional guardrails that can only isolate and block.

[0022] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0023] In the field of guardrail technology, viewing platforms, boardwalks, mountain paths, and densely populated passageways in tourist attractions all require guardrail facilities to fulfill the basic functions of dividing tourist areas, guiding pedestrian flow, and protecting tourist safety. Currently, the guardrails commonly used in scenic areas are mostly fixed metal, concrete, or wooden structures, which only provide basic isolation and blocking functions. In emergency scenarios such as sudden illness, accidental injury, or the risk of stampedes due to excessive crowds, they cannot provide rescue assistance. This dual-purpose guardrail equipment for tourist attractions is suitable for various protective areas in the aforementioned scenic areas. It can be installed between two adjacent guardrails to achieve the dual functions of regular protection and emergency rescue.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this guardrail equipment has a modular structure. Its core components include a protective body 1, two uprights 3, a door control detection switch, and a control module. The protective body 1 is a long strip structure with an emergency storage compartment 11 along its length. The emergency storage compartment 11 can be used to store various emergency rescue items. The side of the protective body 1 is hinged to the storage compartment door 2 via a hinge. The hinge is a conventional connector that ensures that the storage compartment door 2 can swing stably around the hinge to open or close the emergency storage compartment 11. This hinge structure allows for convenient opening and closing of the storage compartment door 2, while ensuring the airtightness of the emergency storage compartment 11 when closed, preventing damage to the emergency rescue items inside from the external environment.
[0025] Two uprights 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the protective body 1. Warning lights 4 are fixedly mounted on the side walls of the uprights 3. The uprights 3 provide stable support for the protective body 1 and a stable mounting carrier for the warning lights 4, ensuring that the warning lights 4 can stably perform their warning function in various environments. A door control detection switch is fixed on the protective body 1, and its detection end is set at the free end of the storage compartment door 2. This switch can sense the opening and closing status of the storage compartment door 2 in real time and output a corresponding status detection signal. The control module is also fixed on the protective body 1. Its signal input end is electrically connected to the signal output end of the door control detection switch through a wire, and its signal output end is electrically connected to the controlled end of the warning lights 4 through a wire. The control module can receive the status detection signal of the door control detection switch and control the opening or closing of the warning lights 4 accordingly, forming a linkage between the opening and closing status and the warning function. There is no need for manual operation of the warning lights 4, which improves the timeliness of emergency response.
[0026] Optionally, a photovoltaic module 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the protective body 1. The power output end of the photovoltaic module 5 is electrically connected to the control module, which can convert solar energy into electrical energy to provide working power for the warning lights 4 and the control module. This structure can free the equipment from the limitation of external power supply, adapt to remote areas in scenic spots without power lines, and reduce the energy consumption of the equipment by using clean energy. Moreover, the installation position of the photovoltaic module 5 makes full use of the top space of the protective body 1 and does not affect the opening and closing operation of the storage compartment door 2 on the side of the protective body 1 or the supporting function of the column 3.
[0027] Furthermore, the storage compartment door 2 is made of a transparent and light-transmitting material. This material allows staff to observe the storage status of emergency rescue items in the emergency storage compartment 11 without opening the storage compartment door 2, facilitating daily maintenance and inventory. At the same time, it does not affect the hinge swing function of the storage compartment door 2, ensuring that the storage compartment door 2 can be opened quickly in an emergency. In addition, the transparent material allows tourists to intuitively know the existence of emergency items in the compartment, enhancing tourists' safety awareness.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the column 3 includes a central bearing section 31 and connecting sections 32 located at both ends of the bearing section 31. The bearing section 31 is the main load-bearing structure of the column 3, which can ensure the support strength of the column 3. Both ends of the protective body 1 are fixedly provided with connecting sleeves 12. The two connecting sections 32 are correspondingly sleeved on the connecting sleeves 12 and are detachably engaged with the connecting sleeves 12. The detachable engagement of the two can be locked with bolts. This structure can realize the convenient disassembly and assembly of the protective body 1 and the column 3, reduce the space occupied by the equipment during transportation, and facilitate the individual replacement of damaged protective body 1 or column 3 in the later stage, reducing maintenance costs. Moreover, the detachable structure can realize the modular combination of the equipment and adapt to the installation needs of different lengths of protective areas in scenic areas.
[0029] Optionally, the photovoltaic module 5 is tilted, which increases the light-receiving area of the photovoltaic module 5, improves the solar energy conversion efficiency, and ensures that sufficient and stable power is provided to the warning light 4 and the control module. At the same time, the tilted structure can reduce dust accumulation and rainwater residue on the surface of the photovoltaic module 5, reduce the frequency of cleaning and maintenance of the module, and the tilted setting will not block the installation space of other components on the top of the protective body 1, ensuring the compatibility of the overall structure of the equipment.
[0030] Furthermore, a partition plate 13 is fixedly installed inside the emergency storage compartment 11. The partition plate 13 can divide the emergency storage compartment 11 into multiple independent chambers. Each chamber can store different types of emergency rescue items. For example, the upper chamber can store equipment such as AED defibrillators and pulse oximeters, while the lower chamber can store consumables such as tourniquets and elastic bandages. This structure can avoid delays in retrieval caused by the mixing of various emergency items and improve the efficiency of emergency response. At the same time, the fixed connection between the partition plate 13 and the inner wall of the emergency storage compartment 11 can ensure that it will not shift during the use of equipment and maintain the stability of classified storage.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a base 33 is fixedly installed at the end of the column 3 away from the protective body 1. The base 33 can contact the ground, and its fixation to the ground can be achieved by expansion bolts. The base 33 can increase the contact area between the column 3 and the ground, reduce the pressure per unit area, and prevent the column 3 from tilting or falling due to external force collisions or terrain factors, thus ensuring the overall installation stability of the equipment. It is especially suitable for areas with dense crowds or complex terrain in scenic spots. Moreover, the structure of the base 33 will not affect the connection between the column 3 and the protective body 1, and will not change the conventional protective function of the equipment.
[0032] Optionally, the connecting section 32 is slidably connected to the connecting sleeve 12, and a locking bolt can be provided between the two as a locking element. The connecting section 32 can slide back and forth along the length direction of the connecting sleeve 12. After sliding into place, it is fixed by the locking bolt. This structure can realize flexible adjustment of the overall length of the guardrail unit, adapt to different installation scenarios between two adjacent guardrails, improve the installation adaptability of the equipment, and at the same time, the sliding connection structure will not reduce the connection strength between the connecting section 32 and the connecting sleeve 12, ensuring the support stability of the equipment.
[0033] Furthermore, the two uprights 3 together with the protective body 1 form a guardrail unit. The guardrail unit is 1.5m long and 1.2m high. This size conforms to the conventional installation standard of scenic area guardrails and is also adapted to the ergonomic leaning height. It can provide temporary leaning support for tourists while achieving the protective function. Moreover, the standardized size can realize the rapid combination and splicing of multiple guardrail units to form a continuous protection and emergency rescue line, which is convenient for the large-scale installation and management of scenic areas.
[0034] Optionally, a status monitoring sensor is also installed in the emergency storage compartment 11. The detection end of the status monitoring sensor corresponds to the storage location of the emergency rescue items, and its signal output end is electrically connected to the control module. The sensor can monitor the existence and integrity of the emergency rescue items in the compartment in real time, such as the battery level of the AED defibrillator and the expiration date of consumables. The monitoring signal can be transmitted to the control module, so that staff can be aware of any abnormalities in the items in a timely manner and replenish or replace them, avoiding rescue failures due to item failure in emergency scenarios. Moreover, the installation of the sensor does not occupy the storage space of the emergency storage compartment 11 and does not affect the classification and storage function of the partition 13.
[0035] The operation of this equipment can be divided into normal state and emergency state. In normal state, the storage compartment door 2 is closed. After the door control detection switch detects the closed state, it outputs a corresponding signal to the control module. The control module controls the warning light 4 to remain off. The photovoltaic module 5 continuously converts solar energy into electrical energy to power the control module. The status monitoring sensor monitors the status of the items in the emergency storage compartment 11 in real time. At this time, the equipment acts as a regular guardrail to realize the basic functions of dividing the tour area and protecting the safety of tourists.
[0036] When a tourist experiences a sudden illness or accidental injury, staff can swing the storage compartment door 2 to open it around the hinge. Once the door control detection switch detects the open state, it outputs a signal to the control module. The control module then controls the warning light 4 to turn on, which can alert nearby tourists. At the same time, the control module can link with the scenic area's rescue system to send location information. Staff can then quickly retrieve the corresponding emergency rescue items from the classified compartments within the emergency storage compartment 11 to carry out rescue operations. After the rescue is completed, the storage compartment door 2 is closed, the door control detection switch outputs a closing signal, the control module controls the warning light 4 to turn off, and the equipment returns to its normal state.
[0037] The various technical features can work synergistically. For example, the tilted setting of the photovoltaic module 5, combined with the status monitoring sensor in the emergency storage compartment 11, can ensure the equipment's independent power supply while enabling real-time monitoring of emergency supplies, thus improving the equipment's intelligence and reliability. The detachable sliding connection structure of the column 3, combined with the standardized guardrail unit, allows for modular and flexible assembly of the equipment, adapting to the installation needs of different scenarios in the scenic area. The transparent material of the storage compartment door 2, combined with the classified storage structure of the partition 13, enables the visual management and rapid retrieval of emergency supplies, improving the equipment's emergency response efficiency. The overall structure achieves seamless integration of conventional protection and emergency rescue, solving the technical problem of the traditional scenic area guardrail's single function.
[0038] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
