Description

CIRCULATION ROAD SEPARATOR

The present invention relates to a circulation path separator applied to completely separate different vehicle flow paths. This way, the correct channeling of traffic is achieved and collisions between vehicles are categorically prevented.

The design of the road separator is designed so that in the event of a vehicle collision with the road separator, said vehicle tends to be returned to its normal route. In no case would the car invade the opposite lane. In addition, its rounded shape minimizes impact damage in the event of a collision with the road separator.

The present model has integrated a LED or catadioptric lighting system in both directions of vehicles, illuminating the entire section of the lane, so that drivers can see the lane illuminated where they circulate both in daylight and at night, visualizing any item that could be found in your lane.

These road separators, apart from completing the aforementioned function, allow us to achieve an attractive urban design element with clear benefits for citizens. For example, anti-noise fences, traffic signs, trees, advertising signs or the like can be placed on it.

This model belongs to the inventive field of road safety elements.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are situations, in which to effectively channel traffic or to prevent vehicles from accessing adjacent lanes for safety or comfort reasons, it is necessary to put some physical element in the form of a separator.

There are track separators made of rubber derivatives or other similar materials. These have the disadvantage of poor durability, since due to their use and their installation outdoors, it causes the rapid deterioration of the materials and their anchors, in some cases leading to breakage, loosening or detachment from the roadway, leaving screws and materials on the road, with the corresponding danger of accident.

There are also track separators made of concrete or asphalt that require civil works for installation and / or maintenance. Another drawback is the fact that, if there is any urban modification, they are also expensive to remove and also the resulting material is not recyclable and is polluting.

Both the separators of roads derived from rubber, such as concrete or asphalts lack LED lighting systems.

ADVANTAGES OF THIS INVENTION

The following are the main advantages that are obtained with this invention with a purely enunciative and non-limiting nature, namely:

This system presents notable improvements over other similar systems designed for an end similar to that set forth in this document, such as:

-

Updated design, which make the road separator an urban design element, attractive and with clear benefits for citizens. For example, fences of any kind (anti-noise fences, traffic signs, trees, advertising signs ...) can be placed.

-

Passive safety, the reflectors and the LEDs are positioned both on both sides of the separator and on the front or back, so that they can be seen from any point of the road and we can also put LEDs of different colors in each of the lanes to be separated. Likewise, the special paint with which they are covered, as well as the night lighting, reverts into an urban element of great visibility, consequently, in safety.

-

Passive safety: the road separator is configured to provide Passive Safety since in the case that the vehicles will impact with their wheels on the installed elements, they would be directed towards their normal trajectory, without sudden or dangerous deviations, nor tire blowouts or alterations. important vehicle dynamics.

-

Active safety, physically will have different widths and heights depending on the function to be performed ensuring active safety for vehicles.

-

Active safety: the road separator is configured as an important element of Active Safety, as an indispensable part to separate both directions of movement. Its configuration and lighting with LED light elements allow to be seen even in poor visibility conditions, providing a high Active Safety index by preventing vehicles from invading the opposite direction and the risk of serious accidents due to frontal collisions.

-

Traffic regulation, the number of vehicle journeys is increasing and this road separator allows us to regulate and channel this traffic safely.

-

Sustainability, the low consumption of the lighting systems of the road separator and its integrability with solar energy make it possible to advance in a more sustainable energy consumption.

-

The installation of the described separators is carried out quickly and without the need for special machinery.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device that is recommended has been designed to solve the problem described above, based on a simple solution but no less effective.

The system is composed of one or several cast iron elements fixed to the ground through simple mechanical plugs by means of a hardening and fast setting mortar, which must meet the following characteristics:

o High resistance.

o The fast setting.

o Excellent adhesion to concrete and steel.

o Cannot have retraction and must be waterproof.

The elements object of this invention will be placed individually or in a row forming a barrier approximately between 80 and 200 mm high and between 150 and 580 mm wide.

To ensure total safety, these dividers will have windows where LED diodes will be placed and in some cases catadioptric. These diodes or catadióptricos will allow the separators to be visible both day and night from the two lanes that they want to separate. In addition, the power supply of these diodes will be carried out by means of electric power and may be solar or alternative because the consumption of the diodes is very low and always with a voltage of 12 volts.

In order to mark the beginning and the end of the separation of tracks, semi-dome-shaped covers have been invented that are coupled to the bodies. These semi-domes also contain windows for their respective LEDs.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention deals with a set in the form of a physical barrier in order to channel traffic, defining and protecting different lanes of the same route. The invention is composed of the five elements that are marked in Figures 1 and 2. The framed elements are the following:

1.- Body [1] (Figures 3, 4 and 5) formed by a rounded corner housing and with longitudinal grooves in the form of saw teeth located on an inclined plane (1a). In both curved areas two windows (1b) will be placed for the lighting LEDs. In order to reinforce the assembly against impacts, the body carries ribs (1h) through the inside of the housing. In order to protect and channel the wiring the body has two plates (1c) that allow to build a kind of tunnel on each side of the piece. To achieve full integration into the road, this element contains circular perforations (1f) to be able to insert trees, anti-noise fences, traffic signs, advertising billboards or similar.

So that the interior of the assembly cannot be seen inside the assembly, the body (1e) and Cover A will have a flap (2e) in the form of a flap.

To be able to couple all the pieces to each other, in the body and in the lid, rectangles (1d, 2d and 3d) protrude in which there are cavities in the form of cones means where the pieces (5) will be inserted. The cone-shaped holes (1g, 2g and 3g) are those that are inserted into the anchors (4). The fixation between the anchor and the piece to be anchored will be done using two-component polyurethane adhesive.

The anchoring of the anchor with the ground is done by a hardening and fast setting element that must meet the following characteristics:

o High resistance.

o The fast setting.

o Excellent adhesion to concrete and steel.

It cannot have retraction and must be waterproof

2.- Cover A [2] (Figures 6, 7 and 8). It has a semi-dome shape and has 3 windows (2b) for the LEDs. As a reinforcement against impacts internally it has nerves (2h). The cover also has grooves in the form of saw teeth (2a) on its outer face. The cover contains a “tunnel” (2c) with the aim of channeling and protecting the wiring. In Cover A we will also have the possibility of placing signs, fences or trees and for this it also has a rectangular hole (2f).

3 - Cover B [3] (Figures 9,10 and 11). It is the same as Cover A but the area of union between pieces instead of having the projecting tabs outwards has them inwards (3d) and consequently does not have any flap.

4.- Element for anchoring in the ground [4] (Figure 12). This element has some support feet represented in Figure 12, which consist of a truncated conical end (4a) with the base of smaller diameter on which another cone trunk (4b) rests whose diameter decreases as it ascends whose outer perimeter It can have channels (C) for its best fixation, on the upper base of the area (4b) there is a cylindrical body (4c) and on them there is another inverted trunk area with a flat face (4d) which is the one that is introduced both in the body of the separator and in the lid thereof.

5.- Piece for fixing different elements to each other [5] (Figure 13) consisting of two truncated conical parts joined by their smaller base and located in housings (1d, 2d and 3d) in the same way located respectively in the covers and in the bodies fixing an insert with two-component polyurethane adhesive.
