Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a bollard fence, and more particularly to a bollard fence that can be used to fabricate an assembled enclosure using one or more of a ground fixing part, a vertical pole, a horizontal frame, a swing connector, a display board, or various types of connectors, couplers, and connectors.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, in a logistics warehouse or the like, in order to store as many palletized goods as possible in a limited space, multi-layer rack structures are installed at regular intervals, and workers use transportation machinery such as an automated industrial vehicle or a large cart to move or stack the goods stacked on the rack structure. However, during the operation of storing or transporting goods, there is a problem that accidents due to carelessness such as the transportation machinery colliding with the rack structure occur, and the development of a device that can protect the rack structure is required. In this regard, in the rack post shock absorber of Patent Document 1: Korean Application No. 10-2013-0030084, a receiving groove formed of an elastic body and accommodating the rack post is formed to absorb external shocks generated during the collision of the rack post from the front and side and disperse the external shocks, a buffer member, an insertion hole into which the buffer member is inserted, and a fixing body made of a synthetic resin material or a metal material and having a clip portion provided with a predetermined elastic force so that the inserted buffer member is fixed to the rack post are proposed. However, since it is necessary to install a fence or a bollard around the rack post to additionally prevent the external shock itself, in the assembled shock-absorbing bollard of Patent Document 2: Korean Application No. 10-2014-0119148, a shock-absorbing portion provided with a number of air pockets to absorb the shock transmitted from the outside, a protective cover provided on the outside of the shock-absorbing portion so as to be detachable to prevent damage to the shock-absorbing portion, and an assembled shock-absorbing bollard to which a reflector can be attached so that the bollard can be easily identified even at night are proposed. However, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to expand the fence vertically or horizontally.

[0003] In contrast, the present invention aims to provide a bollard fence that can fabricate an expandable prefabricated enclosure using at least one of a ground fixing part, a vertical pole, a horizontal frame, a swing connector, or various types of connectors, couplings, and connectors so as to prevent approaching collisions around a multi-layer rack structure.

The swing connector 100 is in a "┐" shape composed of a lower coupling part 101 and an upper coupling ring 102 with a plurality of inner wall rail grooves 102a formed on the inner wall. The lower coupling part 101 can be inserted into the open groove 11 of the ground fixing part or installed at the upper end of the vertical pole 20. Ring adapters 110 with various inner diameters are coupled to the upper coupling ring 102. The ring adapter 110 has a plurality of rails 111 formed on its outer wall, and ring adapters 110 with various inner diameters are manufactured so that they can be coupled along the inner wall rail grooves 102a of the upper coupling ring 102 according to the thickness of the horizontal frame 30.

[0018] The display board 130 has a fastening protrusion 131 with a hanging part 131a formed at its lower part and a display part 132 formed at its upper part. The conical upper surface cap that can be inserted and connected to the upper surface of the vertical pole is composed of an insertion part 121 with a friction protrusion 121a formed at its lower part and an exposed part 122 at its upper stage. It further includes a perforation fastening part (not shown) perforated through the center of the insertion part and the exposed part, and a coupling seating groove 124 formed across the perforation fastening part (not shown) of the exposed part. The outer diameter of the insertion part 121 is smaller than the inner diameter of the vertical pole and can be inserted into the vertical pole 20. The fastening protrusion 131 formed at the lower part of the display part of the display board 130 is inserted into the perforation fastening part and fastened to the perforation fastening part 123 using the hanging part 131a, thereby preventing the display board from detaching from the perforation fastening part. The bottom surface of the display part is seated in the coupling seating groove 124.

[0019] A plurality of vertical poles 20 can be inserted into the plurality of ground fixing parts 10, and a horizontal frame can be installed between the vertical poles 20 using an L-connector 40 or a horizontal connector 50. The L-connector 40 is formed with two connecting parts 51 formed in an orthogonal direction so that the vertical frames 20 and the horizontal frame 30 at both ends of the enclosure can be connected, and a plurality of contact surface binding parts 52a are formed on the outer wall between the two connecting parts 51 so as to be able to bind using a fastening tool 140 like a screw. It is composed of a fastening inclined surface 52. One end of the horizontal connector 50 can be connected to one end of a horizontal frame 30 at the center of the enclosure, and the other end of the horizontal connector can be connected in contact with the fastening inclined surface 52 of the L-connector, and the enclosure can be expanded horizontally. The two-stage connector 80 includes a vertical expansion coupling groove 81 formed at its upper end, and a binding part 82 formed with a binding through-hole 82a so that its lower part can be bound to the fastening inclined surface 52 of the outer wall of the L-connection part 40. The binding part of the two-stage connector is in contact with the fastening inclined surface 52 of the L-connector, and the binding through-hole of the binding part and the contact surface binding part of the fastening inclined surface can be combined using a fastening tool 140 like a screw. The fastening inclined surface of the L-connection part and the horizontal connector 50 are bound so that the binding part 82 of the two-stage connector can be connected to the outer wall of the horizontal connector connected to the L-connection part. A sub-expansion frame 90 is installed vertically in the vertical expansion coupling groove of the two-stage connector, and the enclosure can be expanded in multiple stages using a T-connector 60 or an L-connector 70 depending on the position between the vertically installed sub-expansion frames.

[0020] The T-connector 60 can have three sub-expansion frames fitted and joined, and the L-connector 70 can have two sub-expansion frames fitted and joined.

[0021] As an example, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower end of the vertical pole is coupled to the open groove 11 of the ground fixing part 10, and the upper surface cap can be inserted and coupled to the upper end of the vertical pole using the insertion part 121 of the upper surface cap 120. The friction protrusion 121a formed on the outer wall of the insertion part can prevent the upper surface cap 120 from detaching from the vertical pole. The fastening protrusion 131 of the display board 130 can be inserted into the perforation fastening part (not shown) formed through the center of the upper surface cap. There is a hooking part 131a at the tip of the fastening protrusion, which can prevent the display board from detaching from the perforation fastening part (not shown). The bottom surface part of the display board is seated and placed in the coupling seating groove 124 formed in the exposed part 122 of the upper surface cap 120.

[0022] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, a swing connector 100 can be installed in the open groove 11 of the ground fixing part. Two swing connectors can be respectively coupled to two ground fixing parts, and a horizontal frame 30 is installed across between the upper coupling rings 102 of the two swing connectors.

[0023] Specifically, according to the thickness of the horizontal frame, using the inner wall rail groove 102a of the upper coupling ring 102 and the rail 111 of the ring adapter 110, after coupling the ring adapter to the upper coupling ring 102 respectively, the horizontal frame 30 can be installed. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 4, the lower coupling part 101 of the swing connector can be coupled not only to the ground fixing part 10 but also to the upper end of the vertical pole 20, and the height of the enclosure can be adjusted according to the length of the vertical frame.

[0024] Also, as shown in FIG. 6, vertical poles can be respectively coupled to the open grooves of two ground fixing parts. One end of an L connector 40 is respectively coupled to the upper part of each vertical pole, and a horizontal frame is installed between the other ends of the L connectors 40, and a set (set A) of enclosures can be assembled and manufactured.

[0025] One set of the enclosures 1 can be expanded horizontally or vertically. As shown in FIG. 8, in order to expand one set of enclosures 1 (Set A) vertically, two-stage connectors 80 each having a vertically expanding coupling groove 81 and a binding portion 82 perpendicular to the fastening inclined surface of each L-connector can be bound together. The binding portion of the two-stage connector in which a fastening through-hole 82a is formed is in contact with the contact inclined surface of the L-connector and is coupled using a fastener 140. A sub-expansion frame 90 is vertically installed in the vertically expanding coupling groove 81 of the two-stage connector. One end of an L-coupling tool 70 is coupled to the upper end of each vertically installed sub-expansion frame, and one set of enclosures 1 (Set A) can be vertically expanded by horizontally coupling one sub-expansion frame to the other end of each L-coupling tool.

[0026] Also, one set of enclosures can be expanded horizontally. As shown in FIG. 7, in order to expand one set of enclosures 1 (Set A) horizontally, vertical poles can be respectively coupled to the open grooves of the two ground fixing portions. One end of an L-connector 40 is respectively coupled to the upper part of each vertical pole, and a horizontal frame is installed between the other ends of the L-connectors 40 to assemble and manufacture one set (Set A) of enclosures. One additional ground fixing portion and one vertical pole are installed. One end of an L-connector is coupled to the upper part of the vertical pole. One end of the additional horizontal frame is coupled to the other end of the L-connector, the other end of the horizontal frame is coupled to one end of a horizontal connector, and the other end of the horizontal connector is coupled to the fastening inclined surface of the L-connector of the enclosure set A, so that one set of enclosures can be horizontally expanded. That is, the lower end of a vertical pole 20 is coupled to the open groove 11 of a plurality of ground fixing portions, and a coupling portion 51 of one end of an L-connector 40 is coupled to the upper end of each vertical pole. A horizontal frame 30 can be installed between the coupling portions 51 of the other ends of the L-connectors. When expanding this horizontally, after one end of the horizontal frame is coupled to one end of the L-connector 40 and one end of a horizontal connector 50 is coupled to the other end of the horizontal frame, the other end of the horizontal connector can be brought into contact with and coupled to the fastening inclined surface 52 of the enclosure set A to which the L-connector is coupled for combined expansion.

[0027] In addition, the horizontally extended enclosure can be vertically extended further. As shown in FIG. 9, in order to vertically extend the horizontally extended enclosure, a two-stage connector 80 can be coupled to the fastening inclined surface 52 of the L-connector of the horizontally extended enclosure using a fastener 140. However, the bundling portion 82 formed with a fastening through-hole 82a can be brought into contact with the fastening inclined surface 52 of the L-connector 40 and coupled using the fastener 140. The sub-expansion frame 90 can be vertically installed using the vertical expansion coupling groove 81 at the upper part thereof. When installing the sub-expansion frame horizontally between the vertically installed sub-expansion frames, T or L connectors 60, 70 can be used depending on the position. The T-connector is used between two horizontally installed sub-expansion frames and one vertically installed sub-expansion frame, and the L-connector is used when coupling the vertically installed sub-expansion frame and the horizontally installed sub-expansion frame, respectively.

[0028] After coupling the two-stage connector to the fastening inclined surface of each L-connector, the sub-expansion frame is vertically installed in the vertical expansion coupling groove of the L-connector, the L-connector 70 is coupled to the upper part of the sub-expansion frames at both ends, and the T-connector 60 is coupled to the sub-expansion frame horizontally installed between the vertical expansion frames at both ends, so that the enclosure can be expanded horizontally and vertically as shown in FIG. 9.

[0029] The present invention can expand the enclosure horizontally using a ground fixing portion, a vertical pole, an L-connector, a horizontal connector, and a horizontal frame. In order to expand the horizontally expanded enclosure in multiple stages, the enclosure can be vertically expanded using an additional two-stage connector, a sub-expansion frame installed vertically or horizontally, and a T or L connector.
