Animal guards for guardrails {WILD ANIMALS PROTECTION APPARATUS USED IN GUARD RAIL}

The present invention relates to an animal protection device for the guardrail, and more specifically, to prevent wildlife from entering the road, and also to make it easier for animals that have already invaded the road to escape the road, The present invention relates to an animal protection device for a guardrail, which provides an evacuation space for evacuation and prevents wildlife from colliding with a vehicle.

In general, guardrails are installed at the edges of roads to protect roads from sidewalks or to prevent vehicles from leaving the road, and to protect pedestrians from sidewalks when vehicles are adjacent. .

The structure of the guardrail determines the installation height based on the first touched part of the vehicle leaving the road, and also determines the length and width of the rail frame to disperse the impact force.

Normally, the guardrail has a structure in which the rail frame is installed from the upper end to the center part and the lower side is open. Through this open structure, there are wild animals that suddenly poultry, ie dogs or cats, jump into the road by way of broken or broken paths.

As such, there is a problem that the driving of the driving vehicle is disturbed due to the wild animal entering the road suddenly, or sometimes the driving vehicle collides with the animal due to the sudden entry of the animal.

Recently, a wild wild boar enters the road and the driver of the driving vehicle is injured or killed.

As such, an animal entry device fence may be installed on the guardrail to prevent wildlife from entering the road beyond the guardrail. However, in the case of installing the animal entrance device fence, the wild animal once entered the road through another path cannot move out of the road due to the fence, so that the wild animal collides with the vehicle.

On the other hand, it is introduced as a fence that not only prevents wild animals from invading the road, but also allows wild animals to enter the road once they enter the road. These fences or devices are open to the outside of the road from the side of the road, but not vice versa, preventing animals from entering the road from the outside of the road, while allowing animals entering the road to move out of the road. Use However, even in this case, there is a problem that the animal once entered the road is not effective because it is not easy to know how to open the fence.

In addition, when there is a lot of rainfall on the road due to animal protection fence, drainage is not smooth, there is also a problem that obstructs the vehicle running.

The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an animal protection device for the guardrail that can prevent the wildlife from entering the road from the outside of the road.

The present invention provides an animal protection device for a guardrail that can be easily escaped from the road once wild animals enter the road by having a door that is open in the direction toward the outside of the road from the road side, but not open in the opposite direction. .

The present invention provides a space where wild animals can evacuate their bodies even when the animals entering the road cannot easily escape the road, preventing the animals from colliding with the vehicle and evacuating their bodies. Provide animal guards for guardrails to ensure sufficient time to escape from the road.

In the animal protection device for the guardrail according to an embodiment of the present invention for solving the above problems in the guardrail animal protection device is installed in the lower portion of the guardrail fixed to the shore buried in both sides of the road, Fixing portions formed on both sides asymmetrically so as to surround the front and rear portions of the pillar, respectively; An evacuation space portion positioned between the fixing portions along the longitudinal direction of the guard rail and protruding toward the outside of the roadway; A door part rotatably mounted on an upper side of the evacuation space part and opened and closed in one direction; And a plurality of layers formed to be inclined toward the lower side of the rib provided in the lower portion of the evacuation space so as to contact the surface of the road, and adjusts the drainage amount according to the level of water flowing into the road. A drainage portion flowing outside the road; the upper and lower surfaces of the evacuation space portion have a parallel trapezoidal shape, and the left and right surfaces have a non-parallel trapezoidal shape, and the upper and lower surfaces of the left side and the right side have a shorter upper portion than the lower portion. It is characterized in that to shorten the time required to return the door portion to the closed position.

By constructing as described above, the animal once entering the road can evacuate his body by using the evacuation space part in the process of leaving the road, thereby preventing the collision between the vehicle and the animal while leaving the road, This will give you plenty of time to complete. In addition, by forming a drain portion in the lower portion of the evacuation space, the rain or water flowing into the road can be smoothly drained toward the outside of the road, the rainfall by forming the drain portion to the lower side of the rib or formed in multiple layers It is possible to drain the water smoothly in case of low rainfall as well as heavy rainfall.

The evacuation space portion may be formed in the shape of a square pyramid cut off. In this way, the evacuation space portion is formed in a trapezoidal or pyramid shape, the upper portion is cut, can attract the animal into the evacuation space portion.

1 to 3, the guardrail animal protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on the lower portion of the guard rail 102 fixed to the support (101) embedded in both ground (G) of the road As the animal guard device 200 for the guardrail, which is fixed to the support 101 and formed to surround the outer surface of the support 101, the fixing portion 210 along the longitudinal direction of the guard rail 102 Located between the evacuation space portion 220, protruding toward the outside of the road, rotatably mounted on the upper side of the evacuation space portion 220, the door portion 250 is opened and closed in one direction and the water accumulated on the road It may be configured to include a drain 231 formed in the lower portion of the evacuation space 220 to flow to the outside of the road.

By constructing as described above, the animal once entering the road can evacuate their body by using the evacuation space part 220 in the process of leaving the road, thereby preventing the animal from colliding with the vehicle while leaving the road It will give you enough time to get off the road.

Guard rail 102 is fixed to the upper portion of the strut 101 is installed at regular intervals along the edge of the road, the combination of the guard rail 102 and the strut 101 is "U" to contact the outer surface of the strut 101 It is made by using the member 103 formed in the shape of a magnet and the nut 104 fastened to the end of the member 103. To this end, a thread may be formed at the end of the member 103. Obviously, the fastening method of the guard rail 102 and the strut 101 may be made in various ways as well as in this manner, and the fastening method mentioned above is one example.

On the other hand, the guardrail animal protection device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be installed at least one between the support (101). For example, when the struts 101 are densely installed, the guardrail animal protection device 200 may be installed between each strut 101, and when the struts 101 have a long installation interval, several guards may be provided. It is also possible to install the animal protection device for the rail 200 and connect the neighboring animal protection device 200 to each other by post-work.

Both ends of the guardrail animal protection device 200 may be formed with a fixing portion 210 for fastening with the support (101). Fixing portion 210 is preferably formed in a circular, semi-circular or elliptical shape to surround the outer surface of the support (101) to increase the fastening with the support (101). Before mounting the guardrail 102 to the support 101 in a state in which the support 101 is first installed, first, the fixing part 210 of the animal protection device 200 for the guardrail is aligned with the support 101 and the upper side is lowered. The guardrail animal protection device 200 can be installed on the support 101 in a sliding manner. The fixing part 210 may be provided with a fastening hole (not shown) for fixing with the support 101, and the fastening member 210 and the support 101 may be inserted into the fastening hole by inserting a fastening member 212 such as a nut. Can be combined with each other.

Here, it is preferable to bring the two into close contact with each other so that there is no gap between the guard rail 102 and the animal guard device 200 for the guard rail.

Between the fixing parts 210 of both sides may be provided with an evacuation space portion 220 is formed to protrude toward the outside of the road and the space to the extent that the animal can be evacuated. Detailed structure of the evacuation space portion 220 will be described later.

The lower end of the evacuation space 220 may be bent ribs 230 in close contact with the fixing portion 210 and almost in close contact with the surface of the road. In this case, the lower end of the fixing part 210 may be formed to match the lower end of the rib 230. Rib 230 may prevent the gap between the surface of the road or ground (G) and the lower end of the evacuation space 220. If there is a space between the evacuation space portion 220 and the surface of the road, the amphibians such as frogs or reptiles such as snakes may enter the road through this space. By forming the rib 230, it is possible to prevent wildlife such as amphibians or reptiles from entering the road.

In addition, the rib 230 and the ground or the road surface may be formed in contact with each other to prevent the grass such as weeds from penetrating the road edge or road side.

On the other hand, due to the ribs 230 when the rain falls on the road or water is introduced may not be good drainage. In order to solve this problem, a plurality of drains 231 may be formed in the rib 230 of the animal guard device 200 for guardrails according to the present invention. Thus, by forming the drain 231 in the rib 230 formed in the lower portion of the evacuation space 220, rainfall or water introduced into the road can be smoothly drained toward the outside of the road.

Here, the drain 231 may be formed in plural along the length direction or the road of the rib 230 and may be formed to be biased toward the lower side of the rib 230. That is, as shown in Figure 2, by forming the drain portion 231 closer to the road or ground (G) side than the evacuation space portion 220 can increase the drainage efficiency.

In addition, the drain 231 may be formed of a plurality of layers to adjust the amount of drainage according to the level of water flowing into the road. Referring to FIG. 2, the drain 231 is a hole formed at regular intervals along the length direction of the rib 230, and has a shape of forming two layers or rows. As such, by forming the drainage portion 231 to be biased toward the lower side of the rib 230 or by forming a plurality of layers, water may be smoothly drained not only when the rainfall is small but also when the rainfall is large. For example, when the amount of rainfall or water flowed into the road is small, even using only the drainage portion 231 formed at the bottom, the water can be drained smoothly. All of the upper drain 231 may be used to drain. At this time, the shape of the drain 231, how many layers, etc. may be variously changed according to design conditions.

Meanwhile, the reason why the drainage part 231 according to the present invention has a structure different from the wire mesh used as a conventional drainage structure is to prevent grasses or weeds on the periphery of the road from being seen inside the road, This is to reduce the cost of weeding and the like to remove.

In some cases, however, when the drainage facility is well provided on the roadside, the drainage part 231 may be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 3, a door part 250 installed to open and close is provided at the rear of the evacuation space part 220, and the door part 250 and the evacuation space part 220 may be connected by a hinge 240. Can be.

In this case, the door part 250 may be opened only toward the outside of the evacuation space part 220 in the evacuation space part 220. That is, the door part 250 may be opened inside the evacuation space part 220 but cannot be opened outside the evacuation space part 220. For this reason, the door part 250 is not opened from the outside of the road to the inside of the road, but the door part may be opened from the inside of the road to the outside of the road. Therefore, the animal outside the road cannot open the door part 250 and enter the road, but the animal entering the road passes through the evacuation space 220 to open the door part 250 and go out of the road. There is a number.

A hinge 240 or a hinge may be formed at an upper end of the door part 250 to open and close the door part 250 with respect to the upper surface of the evacuation space part 220. In addition, an outer opening preventing portion 252 (see FIG. 6) bent to surround the lower surface of the evacuation space portion 220 may be formed at a lower end of the door portion 250. As such, by bending the outer opening preventing portion 252 in the shape of wrapping the evacuation space 220 in the lower portion of the door 250, the wild animal is the door portion 250 from the outside of the contrast space 220 Can be prevented from opening. That is, because the outer opening preventing portion 252 is bent so that animals can not easily find.

Here, the door 250 may be closed by its own weight. As such, since the door 250 is closed by its own weight or weight, it does not need a separate structure such as a spring or an additional weight to close the door 250, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost of the animal protection device and increasing productivity.

Hereinafter, the evacuation space portion 220 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7.

4 to 7, the evacuation space part 220 may include an upper surface 221, a lower surface 222, a left side 223, and a right side 224. The upper surface 221, the lower surface 222, the left side 223, and the right side 224 of the evacuation space 220 are formed in a trapezoidal shape rather than a rectangle or a square. As such, the upper surface 221, the lower surface 222, the left side 223, and the right side 224 of the evacuation space 220 are all configured in a trapezoidal shape, whereby the evacuation space 220 is cut off at the top of the square pyramid. It may be formed in the shape or pyramid shape. As such, the evacuation space 220 is formed in a trapezoidal or pyramid shape with an upper portion cut, so that the animal can be easily attracted into the evacuation space 220. For example, when the animal first sees the interior of the evacuation space 220, the eyes may have a concentrated feeling and give an impression of gradually narrowing, so that the length or depth of the evacuation space 220 is long in the animal's eyes. Since it may cause an illusion, it may cause the animal to enter the evacuation space part 220.

Here, the upper surface 221 and the lower surface 222 of the evacuation space portion 220 has a parallel trapezoidal shape, while the left side 223 and the right side 224 may have a non-parallel trapezoidal shape. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, when the evacuation space portion 220 is viewed from the front, the left and right are symmetrical but the upper and lower asymmetrical structures are formed.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 6, the evacuation space portion 220 may be formed such that the upper surface 221 has a gentler slope than the lower surface 222. In this way, the inclination of the upper surface 221 and the lower surface 222 can be somewhat prevented from slipping on the upper surface 221 when the animal entering the evacuation space 220 passes.

In addition, the left side 223 and the right side 224 are formed in a non-parallel trapezoidal shape, and when viewed from the side, the left side 223 and the right side 224 have an upper portion 271 shorter than the lower side 272. Can be. As a result, the time required for the door part 250 to return to the closed position can be shortened.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, at least one of the upper surface 221, the lower surface 222, the left side 223, or the right side 224 of the evacuation space part 220 has a reflector 260 or a reflector. It may be attached or a reflective paint may be applied. By using the reflector 260, the reflector or the reflecting paint as described above, the visibility of the night driving vehicle can be improved. In this case, the reflector 260 or the reflecting paint is preferably installed on the inner surface of the left side 223 when the evacuation space 220 is viewed from the front in consideration of the driving direction of the vehicle.

8 illustrates a state in which the door part 250 is opened. For example, when a wild animal entering the road enters the evacuation space part 220 in the direction of the A arrow, the wild animal entering the evacuation space part 220 may avoid collision with the vehicle. If the animal continues to move in the direction of the arrow A in the evacuation space 220, the door 250 may be opened in the direction of the arrow B and may pass through the evacuation space 220 to escape the road. After the animal passes through the evacuation space part 220, the door part 250 is closed by itself along the direction of the arrow C by the weight or weight of the door part 250. If the animal pushes the door 250 in the direction of the C arrow outside the evacuation space 220, the door 250 is not opened. For this reason, the animal can be prevented from entering the road from the evacuation space portion 220 outside.

On the other hand, Figure 9 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the animal guard device for guardrail according to FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the coupling structure of the animal guard device 200 and the support 101 for the guardrail may be different. For example, the coupling method of the guardrail animal protection device 200 and the support 101 is symmetrical on both sides of the fixing portion 210 relative to the center of the evacuation space 220 as shown in FIG. Not only may be formed, the fixing parts 211 on both sides may be formed asymmetrically. Referring to FIG. 9, when viewed from the front of the guard rail 102, one of the fixing parts 211 of both sides is fastened to the front part of the support 101 and the other is fastened to the rear part of the support 101. It may be formed.

In addition, the reflector 260 may be formed on the inner surface of the evacuation space part 220, and the reflecting paint may be applied to the area 261 where the evacuation space part 220 and the fixing part 211 are connected, or the reflective paper may be attached at night. You can also improve the visibility.
