Definitions

  • the invention relates to a guard rail arrangement for roadways, in particular for use at the edge of the road, at the median strip or for securing danger spots, according to the preamble of Anpruches.
  • Such a guard rail arrangement is for example from the EP 1 640 504 A1 known. This serves to safeguard roadways, in particular, to prevent a vehicle from leaving the area of the roadway and, for example, from falling over an embankment or a bridge. Apart from this, however, such a guard rail arrangement should also be designed so that it absorbs impact forces as much as possible so as to minimize the burden on passengers when impact.
  • Such protective barrier arrangements therefore frequently have deformation elements which serve purposefully to absorb impact forces by elastic and plastic deformation.
  • deformation elements are for example from the WO 97/26411 , of the EP 1 719 840 A2 and the DE 38 09 896 A1 known.
  • EP 1 640 504 A1 also discloses such a tubular deformation element, but this is formed in contrast to the other prior art in cross section as a closed polygonal profile with predetermined kinks. As a result, an advantageous deformation behavior is to be achieved, with great flexibility in the assembly and packaging options are also sought.
  • the predetermined bending points in this deformation element designed as a regular hexagonal profile are formed by the edges of the hexagonal profile and are thus geometrically predetermined by the cross-sectional configuration of the deformation element.
  • EP 1 391 558 A1 a guard rail assembly with deformation elements with a polygonal cross-section. In some embodiments, these are designed with predetermined kinks to achieve a predetermined plastic deformation behavior in the event of an impact.
  • the EP 1 624 111 A2 discloses a protective barrier arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 in which a plurality of guardrails are attached to a post, wherein in the region of the lowermost guardrail additionally deformation elements between the posts and the guardrail are used. These are tubular and arranged in the system so that its axis extends horizontally, so that their open ends on the one hand to the respective post and on the other hand, the guard rail facing.
  • the deformation elements also have predetermined bending points in the form of openings or the like. In the event of an impact, the deformation elements deform in the axial direction in such a way that they unfold along predetermined bending points.
  • the present invention is based on this prior art.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing a generic guard rail assembly such that it has an improved deformation behavior for receiving an impact energy.
  • predetermined bending points in the case of deformation elements with an annular cross section and a vertically aligned axis. These are not formed by the cross-sectional geometry, such as at the edges of the hexagonal deformation elements according to the EP 1 640 504 A1 , but by targeted weakening of the wall geometry in the range of predetermined bending points.
  • the formation of the first flow joint pair is not in the area in which the wall is the same direction to force entry, but at the weakened predetermined bending points. Due to the reduced resistance given here, the points with the largest bending moments can be found here. With progressive deformation and plastic flow in the region of the predetermined buckling occurs due to the self-adjusting deformed tube geometry, at these points a relief, so that then adjusts in the range of the next, highest bending moment stress another pair of wing joints. Similar to conventional deformation elements, this second flow joint pair can come to lie in the region of the residual cross section, in which the wall of the deformation element is substantially the same direction for the action of force.
  • the predetermined bending points are each offset by a predetermined angle between 20 ° and 70 ° to the attachment point of the deformation elements on the post. It has been shown that particularly favorable bending moment curves can be achieved by the arrangement of the predetermined bending points in this region, which has an effect, in particular, on a favorable interaction of the cascaded successive activated plastic joints. Thus, the deformation behavior can be set particularly favorable.
  • the predetermined bending points may be formed by recesses on at least one edge of the tubular deformation elements. Then they can be produced with very low manufacturing effort. In addition, by simply dimensioning the same, the deformation behavior of the deformation element can be adjusted in a targeted manner.
  • the predetermined kinks can be defined by openings, such as e.g. Holes, slots, slots or the like are formed in the wall of the tubular deformation elements. This also makes it possible to produce the desired weakening of the wall geometry of the deformation elements according to the invention at the predetermined bending points with little manufacturing effort. Likewise, the deformation behavior can be controlled specifically.
  • predetermined bending points are arranged symmetrically to the attachment point of the deformation elements on the post, results in a uniform deformation behavior regardless of the direction of the impact. This configuration is preferable for most use cases to achieve a comprehensive security effect.
  • the deformation elements are formed from sheet metal strips, wherein the ends of the sheet metal strip overlap.
  • the deformation elements manufacturing technology can be provided particularly favorable.
  • elongated holes for fastening elements it is also possible in particular for elongated holes for fastening elements to be formed in the overlapping ends of the metal strip formed into a tube are formed.
  • the elongated hole connection proposed according to the invention makes it possible to slip at the connection point in the course of the deformation of the deformation tube as a result of the impact energy.
  • the sheet metal ends can move against each other with progressive depression of the deformation element, which are activated by the applied during assembly Voranziehmoment a connecting screw sliding friction forces in the joint between the two ends of the sheet metal strip.
  • the deformation elements are fastened directly to the post, since the guard rail arrangement can then be built as a whole slim, i. the supernatant to the street can be kept low.
  • the protective barrier arrangement according to the invention also has a stiffening element which is arranged within a deformation element.
  • the deformation behavior in this area can be further improved since the cascade-like deformation mode provided according to the invention is expanded.
  • a predetermined by the geometry of the stiffening element deformation path is thereby activated with an additional deformation resistance.
  • overall a gradually stiffening behavior of the deformation element is achieved, this being done in several stages.
  • the stiffening element has an angular portion, the tip of which faces away from the guardrail. Then, this tip of the angle section is pressed in the course of the deformation as a result of a collision from a predetermined time against the wall of the deformation element in the region of a post before the stiffening element then also plastically deformed. At the attachment points of the stiffening element in Each deformation element thus creates an additional flow joint pair, which further supports the absorption of the impact energy.
  • a guard rail assembly 1 has a plurality of pillars 2 fixed to the bottom, which are driven into the ground in the example shown.
  • the guard rail assembly 1 further includes a guardrail 3 and an upper longitudinal spar 4.
  • the guardrail 3 and the longitudinal spar 4 are each shot in a row set profile elements, which thereby extend over the entire length of Schutzplankerlan ever 1 away.
  • a deformation element 5 is arranged, which is tubular and has a substantially annular cross-section.
  • Fig. 4 there is an attachment of the deformation element 5 to an associated post 2 at an attachment point 6, where they come to rest against each other.
  • the deformation element 5 is fixed in the example shown by means of two screws on the post 2.
  • the guardrail 3 in turn abuts an attachment point 7 of the deformation element 5 and is also coupled there via a screw connection.
  • the upper longitudinal beam 4 is also bolted to the post 2.
  • the deformation element 5 in the present embodiment only approximately an annular cross-section, since it is formed of a metal strip 51, as in Fig. 6 is shown in a transaction.
  • This sheet metal strip 51 is thereby transformed in the course of the production of the deformation element 5 such that it assumes a tubular shape, wherein ends 51a and 51b of the sheet metal strip 51 come to lie overlapping each other. in the built-in state, the overlap region is adjacent to the guardrail 3, ie this is there coupled to the deformation element 5.
  • the metal strip 51 recesses 52 which serve to weaken the wall geometry of the Deforinationselements and thus form predetermined bending points S.
  • two cutouts 52 formed by notches are arranged spaced apart from one another from the center of the sheet metal strip 51 at the longitudinal edges thereof.
  • two mounting holes 53 In the middle area are in Fig. 6 also shown two mounting holes 53, by means of which the deformation element 5 in the installed state with an associated post 2 can be screwed.
  • elongated holes 54 can be seen, through which the deformation element 5 can be screwed to the guard rail 3.
  • the recesses 52 are in this case by an angle ⁇ of about 45 ° offset from the attachment point of the deformation element 5 on the post 2 against a line of action 55 before, which is formed by a connection of the attachment point 6 and the attachment point 7.
  • a stiffening element 8 is shown, which is additionally arranged in the deformation elements 5 according to a further embodiment of the present invention. In this case, it is preferable to provide such a stiffening element 8 in each deformation element 5 of the guard rail arrangement 1, although this is not absolutely necessary.
  • the stiffening element 8 has an angular portion 81, on whose free legs bent portions 82 and 83 are arranged. In these folds 82 and 83 are also formed holes through which the stiffening element 8 with the wall of the deformation element 5 by screws, rivets or the like can be fastened.
  • the stiffening element 8 is inserted into the associated deformation element 5 such that the tip of the angular section 81 points away from the guardrail 3 and towards the post 2.
  • an additional Deformafionswiderstand is activated by the deformation element stiffening according to a predetermined by the geometry of the stiffening element 8 deformation by the stiffening element 8 with the tip of the Angular section 81 is pressed onto the pipe wall and in the result thereof, the stiffening element 8 is also plastically deformed.
  • the initially relatively low deformation resistance minimizes the occupant injury risk (ASI value), whereas with increasing impact energy a higher deformation resistance is activated.
  • This additional stiffening also has the further advantage that the resulting during the contact of the car tire with the guard rail post acceleration peak compared to conventional systems, such as the rammed Super Rail light variant Applicant fails lower and thus the impact severity can be further reduced.
  • the invention allows, in addition to the illustrated embodiment, further design approaches.
  • the predetermined bending points S may be formed instead of or in addition to the recesses 52 by slots, holes, slots or other openings in the wall of the metal strip 51.
  • the wall thickness in the region of the predetermined bending points can also be reduced.
  • the deformation element 5 is formed from a formed sheet metal strip; Rather, a conventional tube with an annular cross-section can certainly also be used.
  • the recesses 52 or bores etc. do not have to be symmetrical to the middle of the sheet-metal strip 51 as in the embodiment shown; they can also be arranged at a different distance to the line of action 55 between the attachment point 6 and the attachment point 7 adjacent to the attachment point on the post.
  • angle ⁇ between this line of action 55 and the predetermined bending points may take a different dimension than the 45 ° shown.

  • a plurality of deformation elements 5 between a post 2 and a guard rail 3 can be arranged.
  • a plurality of predetermined bending points S may also be formed on the deformation elements 5 so as to improve the cascading effect in the plastic deformation for load transfer. In this way, the deformation behavior of a deformation element 5 can be set even more precisely.
  • individual kinks may additionally be present at the at least two predetermined bending points of the deformation element, so that the same results in a one-sided weakening of the deformation element. This is particularly advantageous if an impact is to be expected from one side only.
