Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a guardrail device for a highway with a reasonable design in structure, better performance in collision resistance, and good overall effect. The device includes guardrail plates, a small vertical column, a middle large vertical column, and an end large vertical column. The guardrail plates are fixed to the small vertical column and the middle large vertical column, and the middle large vertical column is fixed to the middle connecting plate and the connecting ring, while the end large vertical column is fixed to the sheath. The structural design of the invention is more reasonable, better in collision resistance, and safer in use. The guardrail plates are made of PVC resin, which is low-density and cost-effective, and there is no need for anticorrosion or spraying treatment. The frame bolt has external thread set at its both ends, which makes it stronger and more reasonable in its linkage strength.

Problems solved by technology

However, since the guardrail plates of the invention patent is fixed to the vertical column directly by screw nails, its impact resistance is poor, and the safety of use isn't high.
Moreover, the base material of the plate was not made of PVC resin, so it is easily to be oxidized and rusted, easy to damage cars in collision.
Although this structure is a little better than the one of which the plate is fixed to the vertical column directly by screw nails, it is only adapted to steel plates instead of PVC guardrail plates as we use it.
The guardrail of which is not formed by PVC resin, its shape only fits waveform beam, and ordinary screw snails are used for fixation between the waveform beam and the prevention block; thus, its comprehensive cost is expensive and not green enough; Meanwhile, the invention is adapted only to a narrow range, being of low capacity of collision resistance and lower life performance.
In addition, there have been some other patent applications of inventions and utility models, but their structural designs are not reasonable.
Moreover, the current structures cannot be associated in a simple way, otherwise it may lead to weaker strength, worse effect in use, or result in pollution, higher cost or even impossible to be put into practice.

embodiment 1

[0049]Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 19, the present invention will be illustrated by one embodiment in which there are two guardrail plates and convexes are arranged on each guardrail plate.

[0050]The current invention comprises guardrail plates 1, a small vertical column 2, a middle large vertical column mechanism 3 and an end large vertical column mechanism 4. Among them, the guardrail plates 1 comprise guardrail plates having end portions 1, the guardrail plates having end portions 1 comprise an end guardrail plate 11 and a middle guardrail plate 12 which are fused together. The middle large vertical column mechanism 3 comprises a middle connecting plate 31, a connecting ring 32 and guardrail plates having end portions 1. End large vertical column mechanism 4 comprises a sheath 42, end connecting plate 41 and guardrail plates having end portions 1.

[0051]The guardrail plates 1, which are formed by PVC resin, have reinforcing bands 13 fixed inside. In the embodiment, seven raised line...

embodiment 2

[0069]With reference to FIG. 20-FIG. 24, this represents the embodiment of the present invention in the case when the guardrail plate takes a wave-form structure.

[0070]The waveform guardrail plate 7 of the present invention includes wave-like structure protrusion 71, reinforcing bands 72 which are located at both sides of the bottom of the waveform guardrail plate 7; the reinforcing bands are fixed into the waveform guardrail plate 7; the outer surface of the waveform guardrail plate 7 is made of PVC resin.

[0071]In this embodiment, a bracket 21 is set between the small vertical column 2 and the waveform guardrail plate 7, the bracket 21 is fixed to the small vertical column 2 by an ordinary bolt, whereas the flat portion 73 of the waveform guardrail plate 7 is fixed to the bracket 21 via frame bolts 5.

[0072]In this embodiment, the middle connecting plate 31 in the middle large vertical column mechanism 3 is located between the middle large vertical column 30 and the connecting ring ...

embodiment 3

[0076]Referring to FIG. 25 to FIG. 29, this represents the embodiment of the present invention in the case when the guardrail plate gets a circular structure.

[0077]The shape of the cross section of the guardrail plate of the present invention is round. The circular guardrail plates 8, which therein coats reinforcing bands 82, is presented to be a long strip in the extension direction, the outer surface of the circular guardrail plate 8 is formed by PVC resin; Multiple guardrail plates may be used in practice.

[0078]In the embodiment, brackets 21 are set between the small vertical column 2 and the circular guardrail plates 8, the brackets 21 are fixed to the small vertical column 2 by ordinary bolts; whereas the circular guardrail plates 8 are fixed to the bracket 8 via frame bolts 5.

[0079]In this embodiment, the middle connecting plate 31 of the middle large vertical column mechanism 3 is located between the middle large vertical column 30 and the connecting ring 31, the middle conne...

Abstract

The present invention involves a kind of guardrail device used for a highway, wherein, said guardrail plate is formed by PVC resin and has reinforcing bands fixed therein; a bracket is set between a small vertical column and the guardrail plate, the bracket being fixed to the small vertical column, the guardrail plate being fixed to the bracket by frame bolts; a middle large vertical column mechanism is comprised of a middle connecting plate, a connecting ring and a guardrail plates having end portions; two guardrail plates wind reversely within the connecting ring; an end large vertical column mechanism comprises a sheath, an end connecting plate and guardrail plates having end portions, the sheath is fixed to the end large vertical column, the outer sheath is wound around by guardrail plates which are fixed to the end connecting plate by frame bolts. The whole design of the invention is reasonable in structure, have good performance of collision resistance, low cost and long life performance. It displays nice cushion property at the moment of vehicle collision and uneasily to impose scratch on the car, which greatly reduce the possibility to cause secondary damage to the passenger and vehicle. Moreover, the material used brings no pollution to the environment, therefore it's green.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention involves a kind of guardrail device for a highway, which is mainly applied to the divided protection of the highway lanes.BACKGROUND [0002]Among the available techniques, the divided protection of the highway lanes is achieved by the linking of guardrail plates and vertical columns; since the length of the guardrail plate is relatively long, it needs to be supported and fixed by small vertical columns in the central part; meanwhile, as the length of the guardrail plate is unlikely to be infinite, the guardrail plates require to be joined and the joints need to be connected and fixed by middle large vertical column mechanisms; At the same time, both ends of the guardrail plates have to be joined and fixed by end large vertical column mechanism. Therefore, the structural design of the small vertical column, the middle large vertical column mechanism and end large vertical column mechanism are related to the using effect and strength o...
