Description

  The present invention relates to a blow-up type snow fence.

  As driving safety measures on roads in snowfall areas, pillars are built at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the road, and multiple stages of snowboards are installed so that they can be raised and lowered between them. Conventionally, snow fences are known which are directed obliquely at an interval of the distance from each other and guide snowstorm and strong winds obliquely downward through the gaps between the respective snow protection plates.

This snow fence allows the wind to circulate diagonally downward from the road toward the road surface due to the gaps between the snow protection plates, so that it can blow off the snow accumulated on the road surface and increase the driver's visibility. Visibility disturbance due to snow blowing on the vehicle from the sky and accidents due to this have occurred, and there is a problem that wind and snow from the sky cannot be handled by the prior art, and there was a strong demand for a solution.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-18233

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the object of the present invention is to blow up the wind flowing in the road extension direction and the wind flowing from the side road toward the main line upward. Another object of the present invention is to provide a relatively simple blow-up type snow fence that has a structure capable of flowing snow that falls on the road from the sky causing visibility disturbance to the outside of the road.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a snow fence having a plurality of plates arranged between columns on both sides, one end of which is wider than the other end, and the width direction edge is in the plate thickness direction. It is characterized in that a guide plate having a bent fin is supported in an inclined manner between columns.

  According to the present invention, the guide plate having a fin that is wide at one end compared to the other end and bent in the thickness direction at the edge in the width direction is supported in an inclined manner between the columns. The wind blown in the extension direction is guided along the plate surface from the longitudinal end portion of the guide plate to become an airflow blown obliquely upward, and the snow that is about to fall on the road is blown off by the airflow. . Accordingly, it is possible to obtain an excellent effect that visibility hindrance due to snow blown down on the road from above can be mitigated accurately.

Preferably, each guide plate has one end in the longitudinal direction positioned on the side of the support column, the other end positioned on the road side of the next support column, and each guide plate is wrapped with the next snow protection plate in the vertical direction. doing.
According to this configuration, not only the guide plate is inclined in the blowing direction, but also the leeward side end is located on the back side of the support column and the windward side end is located on the front side of the next support column. Since there are no gaps, it is possible to reliably collect and blow up the wind flowing in the road extension direction and the wind flowing from the side road toward the main line.

Preferably, the guide plate has means for changing the inclination angle with respect to the vertical of the guide plate.
According to this, the outstanding effect that the optimal conditions for the collection and blowing of wind can be set for every construction place is acquired.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 to 4 show an embodiment of a blow-up type snow fence according to the present invention. Reference numerals 1 and 1 ′ denote pillars made of H-section steel or the like that are erected on the concrete foundation with anchors or the like at predetermined intervals.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a plurality of guide plates (six steps in the drawing) arranged between the support columns 1 and 1. Assuming that the left side of FIG. 1 is the windward side and the right side is the leeward side, each guide plate 2 is arranged in an inclined shape so that the leeward direction is at a high level.

The guide plate 2 is made of a smooth and corrosion-resistant material such as a galvanized steel plate, and has a strip shape as a whole as shown in FIG. 4, but has a width W1 on one end side 20 in the longitudinal direction. The shape is wider than the width W <b> 2 of the end side 21. When the guide plate 2 is used, the wide one end side 20 is oriented to the windward side, and the narrow other end side 21 is oriented to the leeward side.
The guide plate 2 has fins 2b and 2b for facilitating guidance in a predetermined direction without diffusing the wind at both edges in the width direction of the face plate 2a. The fins 2b and 2b are bent at about 40 to 50 degrees with respect to the plate surface, but may have a curvature instead of a straight line.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, each guide plate 2 is held such that the wide one end side 20 is positioned on the back side of the support column 1, that is, the side road side, and the narrow other end side 21 is the next support column 1. 2 is held so as to be located on the front side of the main line, that is, on the main line side, and the plate surface is not parallel to the support columns 1 and 1 ′ and has a required inclination angle α from the vertical as shown in FIG. ing. The inclination angle α may be appropriately selected from a range of 15 to 25 degrees, for example.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the guide plate 2 faces the lower half of the next guide plate behind the lowermost guide plate face plate at a required interval. The lower half of the next guide plate faces the back surface of the guide plate so that the lower half faces each other.

5 and 6 show another embodiment of the blow-up type snow fence according to the present invention.
In this embodiment, the multi-stage guide plate 2 has the lower half of the next guide plate facing the back of the uppermost guide plate face plate at a required interval, and behind the plate face of this guide plate. The lower half of the next guide plate is sequentially wrapped so that they face each other.
Other configurations are the same as those in the above embodiment.

The structure of attaching the guide plate 2 to the support columns 1 and 1 ′ is arbitrary. FIG. 7 shows a first example, in which the long arm 4a and the short arm 4b are projected horizontally on the support column 1 (1 ′) at a predetermined interval, while bolts are provided at the end portions of the face plate of each guide plate 2. Seat plates 2c and 2c having holes are provided.
The guide plate 2 is supported at a required angle by applying the seat plates 2c and 2c to the long arm 4a and the short arm 4b and passing the bolt 5 through the seat plate and the arm and tightening with the nut 5 '.

  FIG. 8 shows a structure in which the structure of FIG. 7 is a variable angle type. The angle adjusting plates 40 and 40 having the arc-shaped long holes 400 are provided in the arc-shaped long arm 4a and the short arm 4b, and the seat plates 2c and 2c are mounted. The guide plate 2 is supported at a desired angle by being applied to the angle adjusting plates 40, 40, passing the bolt 5 through the long hole 400 through the seat plate 2c, and tightening with the nut 5 '.

  FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the variable angle type. The upper and lower horizontal members 6 and 6 are provided on the support column 1 (1 ′), and the bearing vertical member 7 is provided at the intermediate position between the upper and lower horizontal members 6 and 6. Each vertical member 8 for angle adjustment is installed.

On the other hand, the guide plate 2 is provided with a support shaft 2d at the center position of the end surface portion and a shaft 2e at the end position, and the vertical member 7 is provided with a bearing portion for fitting the support shaft 2d at predetermined intervals. The vertical member 8 is provided with a long hole or a plurality of holes 80 at predetermined intervals.
In this embodiment, the support shaft 2d of each guide plate 2 is fitted to the bearing of the vertical member 7 so as to be tiltable. Since each guide plate 2 can be freely tilted, a desired tilt angle can be obtained by setting a desired angle and screwing a nut to the shaft 2e protruding from the hole 80 of the vertical member 8.

  In FIG. 1, the lower area of the guide plate 2 is an empty portion, but even if several snow guide plates for downward guidance used in conventional blown-type snow fences are installed in this portion, Good. Alternatively, a shielding plate may be used.

  Since the snow fence according to the present invention is installed as shown in FIG. 3 or FIGS. 5 and 6 not shown in FIG. 1, when the wind flows toward the main line from the road extension direction and the side road side, the wind overlaps. From the end side of the guide plates 2 and 2, the flow guide plates 2 and 2 flow into the substantially tunnel-shaped passage 9 defined by the face plates 20 and 20 of the front and rear guide plates 2 and 2 and the fins 2b and 2b. The passages 9 have a plurality of upper and lower stages, and each passage is obliquely upward and upward in the road extension direction when viewed from the front, and each passage 9 decreases as the cross-sectional area goes downstream.

  For this reason, as indicated by the arrows in FIGS. 1 to 3, the wind that flows from the road extension direction and the side road toward the main line is blown upward at an increased speed, so that the wind will flow down on the road. Snow that is swollen upward by the blowing airflow is less likely to pour onto the road. For this reason, visibility can be improved even in a snowstorm and safe operation can be performed.
