Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of producing a guard rail structure, in which anchoring members are mounted in the ground and each anchoring member is provided with a post, whereupon guard rail segments are connected to said posts.
  • the anchoring member is generally in the shape of a pole, of concrete or steel, which is rammed into the ground, whereupon a post is secured on the pole by means of bolts. Subsequently, a guard rail segment is connected to a number of posts by means of bolts and the ends of said guard rail segments are mutually connected by means of bolts as well.
  • a further objection is that with the activities to be carried out manually, by virtue of statutory regulations, an employee is only allowed to handle parts having a limited weight. This may entail that movable hoisting devices must be used in the mounting of parts. This may cause delays in carrying out the work.
  • the object is to eliminate these objections and the method according to the invention is characterized in that with the help of a robot arranged on a vehicle, a number of posts provided with anchoring members in the shape of threaded anchors are picked up simultaneously from a stock and are screwed into the ground, whereupon the vehicle is moved and one single guard rail segment of a subsequent vehicle having the posts concerned is connected by means of snap fittings.
  • the vehicle concerned after placing a number of threaded anchors, the vehicle concerned will be moved across such a distance that the first threaded anchor of a subsequent number of threaded anchors can be located at a predetermined distance from the last threaded anchor of the previous set.
  • guard rail segment to be mounted on the posts is provided with bushes or pins which can be slid onto or into the posts from above, and can be connected to said posts by means of snap fittings.
  • the vehicle mounts a robot being provided with means for picking up a number of posts simultaneously and with means for screwing them into the ground.
  • the vehicle and/or the robot will be provided with measuring means for determining the position into which the vehicle or the robot must be brought so that the posts to be brought into the ground will be situated at a certain location.
  • the posts to be employed with the present invention can substantially be of the type as described in EP-B-0 189 962.
  • these posts comprise a tubular or rod-shaped part and a helical part connected to it and projecting from it.
  • adaptations are required for making the posts suitable for the type of robot to be used and for establishing the snap fitting between posts and the guard rail segment.
  • bushes or pins will be connected to a guard rail segment, in such a way that a guard rail segment can be slid onto or into said posts from above.
  • a guard rail segment can be slid onto or into said posts from above.
  • they can be provided with bevelled portions, so that small deviations in the mutual position of the posts can be accomodated.
  • a bush or pin connected to the guard rail segment, or the post can be provided with a resiliently arranged cross-pin, which can be snap-fitted into an opening or a groove in the other part.
  • the ends of the guard rail segments can be designed in such a way, that the end of one guard rail segment, on mounting it onto the posts, will be fittingly received in, or be enclosed around, the end of the preceding guard rail segment.
  • the guard rail segments can be manufactured of a non-corrosion sensitive material, like a laminated material in particular, its layers comprising a metal, such as aluminium, steel or the like, said layers being connected to one another by a fibre-reinforced plastic.
  • the guard rail segments can be provided with electrically or light conductive cables, such as glass fibre cables, extending in longitudinal direction of said rail, in such a way that the ends of the cables of subsequent segments can be connected to one another.
  • guard rail segments can be provided with signalling means, in the shape of lamps, LEDs or the like, for forming signas indicating certain circumstances such as "fog", for example.
  • the same or additional signalling members can be operated in such a way, that they light one after the other indicating the speed the traffic should maintain. The members will then show in fact a "green wave".
  • the electrically or light conductive cables can also be employed for signalling when the guard rail is damaged to a certain degree. Then it will be possible to determine approximately on which location the damage has occurred, so that replacement can be effected more quickly.
  • WO 97/35070 illustrates a guard rail structure in which the guard rail segments have snap fitting parts at their ends. However, bolts are employed for connecting the segments to a post.
  • FR 2 749 329 illustrates a guard rail structure consituted by elongated blocks bearing directly on the ground.
  • the blocks are anchored to the ground by bringing pins through the blocks and into the ground, from above. Possibly, these pins can be received in bushes mounted in the ground beforehand, their ends being provided with a plate bearing ot the ground.
  • FR 2 088 767 illustrates a separation for a garden or park, in which for fixing it one employs pins having forked ends.
  • the pins secure an elongated, closed box on the ground at the same time, in which cables can be accomodated. Then it will not be necessary to dig a trench in the ground for the cables.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vehicle 1 provided with a driver's cabin 2.
  • the vehicle further has a storage space 3 for receiving posts 4 in.
  • the posts are brought into the supply space 6, in which a number of posts 4 lie adjacent one another.
  • Each post 4 comprises a pole 8 and a helical portion 9.
  • the posts 4 situated in the supply space 6 are grabbed and pivoted across 270° so that their helical parts 9 are directed to the ground. Then, with the help of the robot 7 the parts 9 are screwed into the ground at the desired location.
  • the removed posts 4 are substituted by means of transport devices 5 as indicated with the various arrows. It is also possible that said transport devices bring the posts into vertical position and that they are picked up in this position by the robot 7. Obviously, it is possible that more or less than 4 posts are placed simultaneously, depending on the size of the vehicle 1 and the robot 7 being used.
  • the vehicle After placing said four posts 4, the vehicle is driven across such a distance in the direction of the arrow P, that the desired distance is between the post placed last and the next post to be placed.
  • the vehicle 1 can be provided with measuring devices and e.g. a detector 10 for determining where the vehicle 1 is in relation to the post placed last.
  • the robot 7 can also be provided with detectors so that the posts 4 are placed in the proper position in relation to the previously placed posts.
  • a guard rail segment 13 can be placed on a number of posts 4.
  • the vehicle 12 is positioned in the desired location in relation to a post 4 with the help of a detector 34.
  • a number of guard rail segments 13 are present on the vehicle 12, which will be brought to a certain location near the robot 11 with the help of a transport device.
  • the robot 11 grabs a guard rail segment from its place and pivots it until it is situated above the posts 4. After that, the robot lowers the guard rail segment so that, partly on account of its own weight, slides down across the posts.
  • the guard rail segment 13 comprises a pipe 14 having its free end provided with a pipe 15 in which part of the post 4 can be received.
  • a strip of spring steel 16 being provided with a cross-pin 17 projecting outwards through an opening 18 in the post 4 and being received in a groove 19 in the bush 15, is secured in the interior of the post 4.
  • the cross-pin 17 On sliding the bush 15 onto the post 4, the cross-pin 17 is pushed inwards against the spring force of said strip 16, whereupon it is received in the groove 19 in the bush. The bush cen then no longer be pulled upwards unless the strip 16 is pressed inwards. This can happen by e.g. applying a tool into the opening 20 in the post 4.
  • the opening can also be threaded for screwing in a screw, which seals the opening 20 and is able to press strip 1 in on demounting a guard rail segment 13.
  • the bush can be provided with a conical entrance plane 21.
  • the guard rail segment 13 further comprises a profile 22 which can be formed of one single, bent plate part, or otherwise. At one side, coupling parts 23 project outwardly beyond the end plane 24 so that coupling parts of a subsequent guard rail segment 13 will be able to fall across it.
  • the side plane of the guard rail segment 13 can be provided with members 25, such as in the form of lamps or LEDs which can signal certain things.
  • the top plane can be provided with a ribbon-shaped lighting such as in the form of lamps or LEDs 26, which can light up in a certain rhythm so that vehicles moving across the road can adapt their speeds to it.
  • Cables 27 for supplying electricity to the lighting members can be provided at the inside of the profile 22. Possibly, solar cells or wind energy with accumulators and the like can be employed for current supply. It is also possible to mount cables in the interior of the material of the guard rail segments. One can also employ glass fibre cables for supplying light to the lighting members.
  • vehicle 12 In order to avoid too much hindrance of the traffic on the road, vehicle 12 will generally be close behind vehicle 1. A signalling vehicle moving along can then be present at some distance behind vehicle 12.
