The invention discloses an intelligent safe elevating guardrail comprising two groups of frames, two groups of elevating racks, and a plurality of groups of protection ropes. The elevating racks are slidably connected with the upper ends of the inner sides of the frames, and the protection ropes are connected between the two groups of elevating racks. The bottom parts of the front side surfaces ofthe frames are fixedly provided with first driving motors, the output shafts of which are provided with lower synchronous belt pulleys. The front side surfaces of the frames are fixedly connected with L-shaped installation boards by bolts. The intelligent safe elevating guardrail is advantageous in that the structure is simple, and by adopting the box-shaped structure, the appearance is tidy andnovel, and the elevating racks can carry out the upward and downward elevating motions to realize the opening and the closing of the protection ropes, and therefore the unmanned management of the intermittent releasing places can be solved, the application range is wide, the fault rate is low, the service lifetime is long, the safety performance is high; the guardrail adopts the protection ropes having the flexible structures, and the protection ropes do not droop during the large-span use, and therefore the safety performance is excellent, the weight problem of the rigid connection can be solved, and the dropping problem of the flexible structure can be also solved.
