Abstract

An energy absorbing system with one or more energy absorbing assemblies is provided to reduce or eliminate the severity of a collision between a moving motor vehicle and a roadside hazard. The energy absorbing system may be installed adjacent to a gore area and other relatively wide roadside hazards. One end of the system facing oncoming traffic is relatively narrow. The width at an opposite end of the system may be varied to accommodate relatively wide or large roadside hazards. A sled assembly may be provided with a cutter plate such that a collision by the motor vehicle with the sled assembly will result in the cutter plate tearing or ripping the energy absorbing element to dissipate energy from the motor vehicle collision.

[J ^ fx -ϋ.] Field of the invention The present invention generally relates to energy absorption systems, and more In particular, regarding an energy absorption system for reducing the severity of a collision between a mobile motorized vehicle and a dangerous object located near a road. PRIOR ART 3 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various impact attenuation devices and energy absorption systems have been used to prevent or reduce damage caused by collisions between moving motorized vehicles and fixed roadside hazards or obstacles. Examples of previous shock-attenuating devices and energy absorption systems include impact buffers or impact barriers with various structures and containers with crushable elements. Other impact barriers use inertial forces generated by materials such as sand during acceleration to absorb energy. 15 The above-mentioned devices and systems for stabbing have been developed to be used on narrow curbs of dangerous objects or obstacles, such as end points of intermediate barriers, end points of barriers extending along road edges, large signposts near roads, and bridge pier or center pillar . The purpose of these impact attenuation devices and energy absorption systems is to minimize the degree of personal injury and damage to any structure or equipment of the impact vehicle associated with roadside dangerous objects. An example of a general-purpose shock-attenuation device is shown in the US Patent No. 5,010,326, entitled `` Narrow Static Impact Attenuation System, '' and the name is `` Shear Action and Compression Energy Absorber, '' in the United States. The seven cases of the patent are called the quiet and sad shock attenuation system, US Patent No. 4,645,375; 200401860, the invention description and the name is "Road Impact Attenuator," US Patent No. 3,944,187. Examples of specific static energy absorption systems are shown in U.S. Patent No. 4,928,928 entitled "Guardrail Extruder Terminal," and U.S. Patent No. 5,078,366 entitled "Guardrail Extruder Terminal." 5 An example of an energy absorbing system suitable for use with an impact mitigation device on a slowly moving or stopped highway duty vehicle is shown in the US Patent No. 5,248,129 titled "Energy Absorption Roadside Impact Barrier," US Patent No. 5,199,755 for Vehicle Impact Attenuation Device; US Patent No. 4,711,481 for Vehicle Impact Attenuation Device; US Patent Case for "10 Impact Barriers for Vehicle" No. 4,008,915. The recommended procedure for evaluating the effectiveness of various types of road safety devices, including impact buffers, is provided in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 3 50]. An impact buffer is generally defined as a device designed to safely stop an impact vehicle over a short distance. NCHRP Report 350 further classifies impact buffers as "redirective," or "nonredirective." Redirected impact buffers are designed to contain and re-guide a collision drive. The impact bumper coming from the nose or end of the vehicle impacts downstream from the roadside dangerous object. Non-redirectable impact bumper is designed to contain and catch a downstream impact from the nose of the impact buffer Redirected impact buffers are further classified into "gating" and "nonSating" devices. The gated impact buffers are designed to allow the vehicle to The control method penetrates between the nose of the impact buffer and the required length (L0N) of the impact buffer. The starting point is 200401860 发明, the description of the invention. The non-brake impact buffer is designed to have redirection ability over its entire length. Summary of the Invention 5 According to the principle of the present invention, the related disadvantages and problems of the previous energy absorption system and shock attenuation device can be significantly reduced or eliminated.

When a vehicle collides with the end facing the approaching vehicle in the energy absorption system of the vehicle, the first group of sheet supporting frames and the sheets can be retracted or collapsed relative to each other. The first group of plate support frames, related plates, and other components of the energy absorption system cooperate with each other to absorb kinetic energy from the impact vehicle and provide deceleration within acceptable limits to minimize injuries to people in the vehicle. Plate support frames The plate and the plate also cooperate with each other and with other components of the energy absorption system to produce a 200401860 冲击 impact on one side with the energy absorption system. After the description of the invention, the vehicle is guided to leave the dangerous material on the roadside and return to the road. Technical advantages include providing an energy absorbing system that takes up less volume, which has a variable width to accommodate larger and wider roadside dangerous objects and gore areas. The energy absorbing system using the principles of the present invention can be 5 With symmetrical or asymmetrical installation configuration. This energy absorption system can be manufactured at lower cost using traditional materials and procedures familiar to the highway safety industry.

The spacing or angle between the first set of plates and the second set of plates can be changed according to the width of the relevant roadside hazard without reducing the capacity of the energy absorption system. The energy absorbing elements cooperate with each other to change the magnitude of the deceleration applied to the vehicle that produces an impact on the side opposite to the roadside dangerous object in the impact buffer. For example, the impact buffer may include a first softer portion for absorbing impact from light and small vehicles, a middle portion with increased softness, and a third or third portion having the highest softness to absorb impact from heavy and high speed vehicles The last part. 20 Other technical advantages of the present invention may include the provision of lower cost impact buffers and safety systems that meet the criteria for NCHRP report 350 including Test Level 3 Requirements, and may be installed in, for example, Feet, eight feet, or any other required width near curbs.

能量吸收元件402及404中以接收一相關刀板。在一應用中 23 200401860 玖、發明說明 ,槽102可沿著能量吸收元件402及404的中線形成,其中 一個大約1.5吋的開口係在約6吋的長度上推拔窄縮至約0.5 吋寬的半徑。 部份應用中,可利用較短的機械緊固件422來將能量 5 吸收元件402及404與各別的支撐梁90可更換地予以固定。 並且,相較於其他種附接至能量吸收總成486且構成其一 部份之能量吸收元件,能量吸收元件402及404的長度較短 。利用較短的機械緊固件422及較短的能量吸收元件402及 404,可在一較小衝擊之後快速地修理能量吸收總成486且 10 使其恢復功用。機械緊固件424較佳係從能量吸收總成486 的一側延伸至能量吸收總成486的另一側。機械緊固件422 及424可為螺栓或浩克(Hucks)。 能量吸收元件402、404、406、408、410及412係提供

相關能量吸收系統的所需要長度而改變。多個板片16〇可 附接至滑樣總成40及板片支撐框架60a-60e。有時可將板 片160稱為“擔器”或“擔板”。 當一載具衝擊能量吸收系統20的第一端21時,滑橇總 5 成40將縱向移往路邊危險物3 10。能量吸收總成1 80(未明 確顯示於第9A及9B圖)將在此運動期間從衝擊的載具吸收 能量。板片支撐框架60a_60e及相關板片160亦將從一衝擊 第一端21的載具吸收能量。第9B圖的示意平面圖係顯示滑 橇總成40以及板片支撐框架6〇a-60e和其彼此相鄰崩塌之 10相關板片160。藉由板片支撐框架6〇a-60e來防止滑橇總成 40進一步縱向移往路邊危險物31〇。 為方便說明,可將能量吸收系統2〇如第9B圖所示之位 置稱為“第二’’位置。在載具與能量吸收系統2〇的端點2丨之 大多數碰撞期間,滑橇總成40—般將只移動了如第9A圖所 15 示的第一位置與如第9 B圖所示第二位置之間距的一部份。 板片支撐框架60a-60e、相關板片160及能量吸收系統 20的其他組件係彼此配合,以將打擊在能量吸收系統2〇任 一侧之載具再導回到一相關道路上。各別板片16〇附接至 滑橇總成40且較佳延伸於與板片支撐框架6〇a相附接之各 20別板片160的一部份上方。利用一種對應的方式,與板片 支樓框架60a相附接之板片160較佳係延伸於與板片支撐框

板片支撐框架60a-60g及各別的板片16〇。 沿著能量吸收系統20及20a兩側延伸之板片160係可具 有大致相同的組態。然而,板片16〇的長度可能係依據各 2〇別板片為“單灣板片,,或為“二灣板片,,而改變。為了方便說 明’將一灣’定義為兩相鄰板片支撐框架之間距。 私定為“二灣板片”之板片16〇的長度係經過選擇可在 能I吸收系統20及20a位於其第一位置時橫跨了三個板片 支撐框架之間距。譬如,一個二灣板片16〇的第一端161較 28 200401860 玖、發明說明 佳係穩固地附接至上游的板片支撐框架6〇a。二灣板片16〇 的第二端162車父佳係可滑式附接至下游的板片支禮框架6〇c 。另一板片支撐框架60b係在第一端161與第二端162中間 與二灣板片160呈可滑式耦合。 5 當滑橇總成40撞到板片支撐框架60a且此板片支撐框 架60a可能轉而碰觸板片支撐框架6〇b然後為6〇c等時,板 片支撐框架60a-60g及相附接的板片16〇係往路邊危險物 310加速。板片支撐框架6〇3-6(^及相附接的板片16〇之慣 里係有助於使一衝擊載具減速。若一單灣群的板片支標框 10架被撞到時,單灣群將耦合至其本身的相關板片160 ,因 此將具有較高的慣量。為了缓和一衝擊的載具之減速,較 佳將一二灣群配置於各單灣群的下游。當滑橇總成40或者 由滑橇總成40所推壓的一或多個板片支撐框架接觸到一二 灣群的第一板片支撐框架(譬如板片支撐框架6〇d)時,其慣 15 夏係與一單灣群的慣量相同或略大(因為較長的板片160)。 然而,當二灣群的第二板片支撐框架(譬如板片支撐框架 60e)被碰觸時,第二板片支撐框架6〇因為只是可滑式麵合 至相關板片160所以具有較低慣量。因此,減速作用略為 降低。 20

軸線平行的角度衝擊了端41時將動能有效地予以轉移。 一對C形通路50及53較佳從頂拉條141對角狀延伸至底 拉條52。通路50及53較佳彼此側向分隔且與角柱42及43及 角柱44及45侧向分隔。引導總成54較佳係附接至從底拉條 20 52延伸之通路50及53的端點。選擇通路咒及兄的長度,藉 以確保引導總成54接觸到各別支撐梁19〇b的腹板192。 引導總成54較佳包括板件55。從底拉條52延伸之通路 50及53端點係附接至板件55的一側。一對轉向器“及”較 佳附接至板件55的相對側且自該處概呈垂直延伸。轉向器 35 200401860 砍、發明說明 58及59可相對於彼此及引導總成54中心呈一角度配置,以 幫助滑橇總成40保持適當地定位在列1 88及1 89的能量吸收 總成186之間。有時可將板件55稱為導屐或橇。 可將各別籤片56及57緊鄰能量吸收總成186地附接至 5角柱44及45底端。籤片56及57從各別角柱44及45在導軌 208及209底下且朝向導執208及209呈侧向往内突起。底拉 條52較佳與籤片56及57相隔,藉以使得導軌208及209的腳 211可分別配置於籤片56及57與底拉條52之間。如第13圖 所示’籤片56及57係與底拉條52配合以將滑橇總成40穩固 10 地維持在導執208及209上同時可讓滑橇總成40沿著導軌 208及209滑向路邊危險物31〇。籤片56及57特別有助於防 止滑橇總成40回應於側向衝擊而產生不良的側向旋轉。滑 橇總成40的慣量以及在導執2〇8及209底上滑動之底拉條41 的相關摩擦以及板件55與支撐梁190b之間接觸所造成之摩 15 擦係有助於衝擊載具的減速。 一機動載具與滑橇總成40的端41之間的大部份衝擊一 般係發生於一大致位於能量吸收總成186上方之位置。結 果,與端41產生衝擊的載具一般係使一轉矩施加至滑橇總 成40,其迫使底拉條52向下支承在導軌208及209頂上。 20 選擇板件55及轉向器58及59的尺寸使其與通路190的 腹板192相容。在一機動載具與滑橇總成4〇的端41之一碰 撞期間,來自載具的力係從頂拉條141轉移經過通路5〇及 53到達底拉條52及引導總成54。結果,板件55將施力至支 撐梁190b以使滑橇總成40相對於能量吸收總成ι86保持所 36 200401860 玖、發明說明 需要的定向。 如第11、12及14圖所示,連接器214及216可附接至與 交叉拉條145及146相對之底拉條51。連接器214及216彼此 呈側向分隔,藉以收納已附接至刀板206且從刀板206延伸 5 之連接器220。連接器222及224較佳亦附接至角柱42且從 其呈側向延伸。對應的連接器222及224亦附接至角柱43且 從其呈側向延伸。連接器222係與各別的連接器224分隔一 段概括對應於刀板206厚度之距離。如第14圖所示,可將 複數個孔設置於連接器214、216、220、222、224及刀板 10 206中,以讓機械緊固件將刀板206在能量吸收總成186附 近與滑橇總成40穩固地附接。 如第12、14及18圖所示,刀板206較佳包括兩組斜面 狀切緣或撕緣107及109。滑橇總成40可能為可滑式配置於 導軌208及209上且其中使切緣107及109對準於能量吸收總 15 成186的第一端187。可選擇刀板206的厚度及支撐梁190a 及190b之間的間隙或切割區154,以使刀板206配合在支撐 梁190a及190b的凸緣194及196之間。刀板206亦可位於能 量吸收總成186的槽102内。 如第14圖所示,刀板206較佳包括各別的導板268。可 20 將一各別的導板268設置於各支撐梁190所用之刀板206的 各側上。選擇各導板268的寬度使其與各別支撐梁190的寬 度相容。選擇各刀板206及各別導板268的合併厚度使其可 與形成於各別支撐梁190之間的間隙或切割區154相容。選 擇刀板206的厚度使其概括對應於間隙154的尺寸。較佳係 37 200401860 玖、發明說明 將各導板268配置於腹板192及相關支樓梁190的凸緣194及 196所界定之概呈C形橫剖面内。部份應用中,支撐梁190a 及190b之間的間隙或切割區154可約為1吋(或25公厘)且刀 板206的厚度可約為〇.5吋。 5 在與能量吸收系統20的端21產生一碰撞的期間,當動 量從載具轉移至滑樣總成40導致滑橇總成40及載具彼此聯 合移動時,一載具將經歷一減速高峰。由於動量轉移導致 之減速值係為滑橇總成40重量、及載具重量與初速度之一 函數。當滑橇總成40縱向移往路邊危險物3 10時,引導總 1〇 成54將接觸到各別的支撐梁190a及190b以在滑樣總成4〇及 能量吸收總成186及刀板206之間維持所需要的對準。滑橇 總成40使刀板206保持對準於切割區154。 當滑橇總成40繼續滑向路邊危險物310時,刀板2〇6將 接合及分開各別能量吸收總成186之能量吸收元件152。當 15 滑橇總成40受到一載具的衝擊時,刀板206被推入各能量 吸收元件152邊緣内。刀板206的斜面狀邊緣1〇7及1〇9係接 合各別的能量吸收元件152。刀板206可由各種不同鋼合金 形成。斜面狀邊緣107及109較佳受到硬化以提供能量吸收 元件152所需要的切割及/或撕破作用。 20 可迫使各能量吸收元件152的中心部份往内介於各別 支撐梁190之間,同時各能量吸收元件142的頂與底部仍由 螺栓198a及198b保持固定至各別的支撐梁19〇。各能量吸 收元件152的中心部份係繼續受到刀板206拉伸或變形直到 各別能量吸收元件152通常在拉力下失效為止。這將造成 38 200401860 玖、發明說明 各能量吸收元件52之分離,且當滑橇總成40繼續將刀具 206推動通過時,使此分離作用沿著各別能量吸收元件152 的長度傳播。 當來自衝擊載具的動能已經被吸收時,能量吸收元件 5 152將停止分離。刀板206通過之後,一或多個能量吸收元 件152將分離成上與下部(見第5圖),這些上與下部由一間 隙所分隔。 刀板206從相關能量吸收元件152觀看時係具有一深且 堅固的梁之組態。刀板206在兩端及中心固定至滑橇總成 10 40因而具有剛性。因此,當刀板206接合能量吸收元件152 時,能量吸收元件152將失效但刀板206不失效。 如前文所述,可改變能量吸收元件152的厚度與數量 藉以從廣泛不同類型、尺寸及/或衝擊速度的載具安全地 吸收動能。概括施加至滑橇總成40的端41之轉矩亦將增加 15 刀板206與能量吸收元件152中已經剪切或撕破的部份之間 的摩擦力。 許多應用中,與滑橇總成40緊鄰配置之能量吸收元件 通常較薄或“軟”以用來使較小、慢速移動的載具受到減速 。較佳對於與能量吸收系統20、120、120a及420相關之各 20 別列188及189選用夠長的長度,使其在滑橇總成40已經移 動通過具有“較軟”能量吸收元件的前部之後,足以提供可 使大且高速的載具滿意地減速之多個階段。一般而言,相 較於裝設在第一端21附近之能量吸收元件,裝設在列188及 189中間部份及緊鄰各列端點之能量吸收元件將較“硬’’。 39 200401860 玖、發明說明 當一載具初步衝擊滑橇總成40中面對敬來車輛之第一 端叫,未繫上安全帶或其他限制裝置之任何車内人員均 將從其座椅往前彈擲。被適當限制的車内人員一般將隨著 載具-起減速。在滑橇總成4〇沿著導㈣8及勘移行:短 5時間及距離内,未受限制的車内人員可能在載具内浮於空 中。此段相同時間内施加至衝擊载具的減速力量可能很大 。然而’恰在未受限制的車内人員接觸到諸如播風玻璃( 未明顯圖示)等載具的内部之前,施加至載具的減速力量 一般將降低至較低程度以盡量減輕可能對於未受限制的車 10 内人員造成之傷害。 在第9A圖所示的實施例中,滑橇總成4〇的端47將接觸 到板片支撐框架60a,此板片支撐框架6〇&轉而將接觸板片 支撐框架60b及配置於滑橇總成40下游之任何其他板片支 撐框架。滑橇總成40朝向路邊危險物3 1 〇的移動將導致板 15片支撐框架60a_60e及其相關板片160相對於彼此之伸縮。 在滑撬*總成40從能量吸收系統20的第一端21縱向移往第二 端22時,板片支撐框架及其相關板片16〇之慣量將使一衝 擊載具進一步減速。板片160相對於彼此之伸縮或滑動將 產生額外摩擦力,此額外摩擦力亦有助於使載具減速。板 20片支撐框架60a-60e沿著導執208及209之移動亦產生額外 摩擦力,以更進一步使載具減速。 如先前對於第9A及9B圖所描述,板片支撐框架60a-60e及相關板片160係將打擊能量吸收系統20任一側之載具 再引導回到相關道路上。各板片160較佳具有一種部份地 40 200401860 玖、發明說明 藉由第一端或上游端161及第二端或下游端162所界定之概 呈長形的長方形組態(見第9A、10及15圖)。各板片160較 佳包括縱向延伸於第一端161與第二端162之間之第一邊緣 181及第二邊緣182(見第10及15圖)。部份應用中,板片ι6〇 5 可由具有對於‘‘單灣板片,,約為34¾吋且對於“二灣板片,,約 為五吸二吋的長度之標準十(10)號W梁護欄段所形成。各 板片160較佳具有大約相同之12ί/4吋寬度。 如第10及15圖所示,各別的槽164較佳係在端161與 162中間形成於各板片160中。槽164較佳對準於各板片ι6〇 10

and 5 can be placed next to each other. Blade plate 106. Therefore, after a low-speed impact, only the shorter energy absorbing element 100 needs to be replaced, thereby significantly simplifying the repair and maintenance work of the 5 energy absorbing system 320. As shown in Fig. 2, it is preferable that the energy absorbing assemblies 86 are fixed to each other by a plurality of cross bars 314. The cooperation between the impact wall 382, the cross bars 314, and the energy absorbing assembly 86 results in an energy absorbing system 320 having a relatively rigid frame structure. As a result, the energy absorption system 32 can more securely strike the shock wall 382 from an offset from the center of the shock wall 382 or at a angle not parallel to the energy absorption assembly 86 to strike the shock absorber 382 by a mobile vehicle. Shock. The energy absorption assemblies 186 and 486 shown in Figs. 6 and 7 can be satisfactorily used with any energy absorption system using the principle of the present invention. The 15-energy absorption assembly 186 is similar to the above-mentioned support beam 90 used in the energy absorption assembly 86 and generally includes a pair of support beams or passageways 90. The energy absorbing assembly 186 has only two energy absorbing elements or tear plates 152 arranged on the opposite sides in the figure. The channels 190 are spaced apart from each other to define a cutting area or gap 54 therebetween. The energy absorbing element 152 may be attached to the support beam 190 using various 20-type fasteners including the bolts 103 and the like for the energy absorbing assembly 86 described above. Mechanical fasteners 198 & and 1981) as shown in Figs. 13 and 14 can also be used to attach the energy absorbing element 152 and the support beam 190. Alternatively, other types of fasteners such as Hucky (Hucky tired bolts, rivets, etc.) can be used or the energy absorption element 152 can be attached to the support beam 19 by welding or various adhesives. The energy absorption element ι52 and the support 22 200401860 玖2. Description of the Invention An element to which the supporting beam 190 is attached includes providing a cutting area 154 with an appropriate size between the supporting beams 190 to accommodate the associated blades (not shown). The exploded schematic diagram of Figure 7 Shows energy absorption assembly 486. Part of the difference between energy absorption assembly 86 and energy absorption assembly 486 is the change in length and thickness of the energy absorption element fixed to energy absorption assembly 486 in a replaceable manner. 5 An energy absorbing assembly 486 is formed using the support beam 90 as previously described for the energy absorbing assembly 86. In one application, the support beam or C passage 90 has an overall length of about 11 feet and a web width of about 5 inches. And a flange height of about 2 inches. A plurality of energy absorbing elements or tear plates 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, and 412, and a plurality of spacers 416 and 418 are preferably attached to the C-shape using a screw 10-grain fastener. Pathway 90. In the first In the example shown in Fig. 7, the same number and configuration of energy absorbing elements 402, 404, and 406 having various lengths and thicknesses are fixed on opposite sides of the C passage 90. In one application, the energy absorbing elements 4 2, 404, 406, 15, 408, 410, and 412 are formed of galvanized mild steel. You can choose the number and thickness of energy absorbing elements and the location outside the energy absorbing assembly 486 to provide high speed for various sizes and types of vehicles. And deceleration characteristics required during low speed shocks. The spacers 416 and 418 may be disposed between 20 energy absorbing elements 410 and 412 on both sides of the energy absorbing assembly 486. One technical benefit of the present invention is the ability to change the location The number, size and position of the energy absorbing elements on each side of an energy absorbing assembly provide the required deceleration characteristics. The groove 102 is preferably formed next to the first end of the energy absorbing assembly 486 and is formed in the energy absorbing elements 402 and 404 to receive a related blade. In an application 23 200401860 860, invention description, the groove 102 can be formed along the center line of the energy absorbing elements 402 and 404, one of which is about 1. The 5-inch opening is narrowed to about 0 over a length of about 6 inches. 5 "wide radius. In some applications, shorter mechanical fasteners 422 may be used to fix the energy absorbing elements 402 and 404 and the respective support beams 90 interchangeably. And, compared with other types of energy absorbing elements attached to and constituting part of the energy absorbing assembly 486, the lengths of the energy absorbing elements 402 and 404 are shorter. With shorter mechanical fasteners 422 and shorter energy absorbing elements 402 and 404, the energy absorbing assembly 486 and 10 can be quickly repaired and restored to function after a small impact. The mechanical fastener 424 preferably extends from one side of the energy absorbing assembly 486 to the other side of the energy absorbing assembly 486. The mechanical fasteners 422 and 424 may be bolts or Hucks. Energy absorbing elements 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, and 412 provide deceleration features that can be customized for specific vehicle weights and speeds. For example, 15 provides a two-stage braking force or deceleration for a vehicle weighing approximately 820 kg during a travel of approximately a few feet of an associated blade through the energy absorbing assembly 486. A blade provides braking force suitable for larger vehicles with a weight of approximately 2,000 kg through the remaining stroke of the energy absorbing assembly 486. By changing the position, size, configuration, and quantity of the energy absorbing elements 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, and 412, the energy absorbing assembly 486 can provide a vehicle with a weight of 820 kg to 2,000 kg. Safe deceleration. The energy absorbing element 200 shown in FIG. 8 has been modified to reduce the initial effect of a collision between a moving vehicle and an energy absorbing system. 24 200401860 发明, description of the invention, especially for light weight vehicles . The oval groove 204 reduces the energy required to tear or tear the energy absorbing element 200 during an initial impact, especially for light weight vehicles. The oval grooves 204 cooperate with each other to allow a light weight vehicle that collides with the skid assembly 340 to substantially experience a minimum initial impact or 5 bumps. In some applications, the wire slot 202 may be located in the first end 201 of the energy absorbing element 200, and may have a width of about 3/4 inches and a length of about 6 inches. The slot 202 can be used to receive the blade 206 and align the blade 206 with the energy absorbing element 200 during installation. The plurality of long oval grooves 204 are preferably formed along the centerline of the energy absorbing element 200 extending from the grooves 202 10. In one application, the oval groove 204 has about 2. 5 (2½) inches in length and approximately 3/4 inches in width. The distance between the centerlines of adjacent oval grooves 204 may be about 3 inches. The number of the oval grooves 204 and the size of the oval grooves 204 may be changed according to the intended application of an associated energy absorbing assembly. In one application, the energy absorbing element 200 may have an overall length of 45 inches and 154. 5 (4½) inch width. In some applications, the energy absorbing element 200 is preferably disposed next to the respective blade plate 106. By limiting the overall length of the energy absorbing element 200 to approximately 45 inches, a light weight vehicle or a slow speed vehicle that collides with the skid assembly 340 can be restored to its function if deemed suitable for repair. 20 Time and cost are reduced. After a collision that does not need to absorb a large amount of energy, it may only be necessary to replace the energy absorbing element 200 instead of all other energy absorbing elements attached to an associated energy absorbing assembly 86. Various types of mechanical fasteners can be used satisfactorily to attach the energy absorbing elements 100, 200, and / or 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, and 412 to the relevant support beam 25 200401860 (i.e., description of the invention 90) for releasable attachment. In some applications, a combination of long bolts and short bolts can be used satisfactorily. In other applications, mechanical fasteners can be blind-threaded rivets and related nuts. The invention can satisfactorily cooperate with widely different blind rivets, bolts and other fasteners. Examples of such fasteners are available from Huck Internatiol, Inc. at 6 Thomas, Irvine, California 92718-2585. Power tools that can be used to satisfactorily install these blind rivets are also available from Hulk International and other manufacturers. The energy absorbing system 20 shown in Figs. 9A, 9B, and 10 can be installed adjacent to the end facing the roadside dangerous object of the approaching vehicle. Specific parts of the energy absorption 10 system 20 are also shown in Figures 11 to 18. The energy absorption system 20a is also shown in Fig. 9C. The energy absorption system 20 & 20a may be formed from approximately the same components. Energy absorbing systems 20 and 20a can sometimes be described as non-brake, redirected impact buffers. The schematic diagram of Fig. 9A shows that the energy absorption system 20 is in the first position extending longitudinally from the roadside danger 15 31. The slide assembly 40 is slidably disposed on the first end 21 of the energy absorption system 20. The skid assembly 40 can sometimes be referred to as a "impact skid." The first end 21 of the energy absorption system 20 including the first end 41 of the skid assembly 40 faces the approaching vehicle. Energy The second end 22 of the absorption system 20 is preferably firmly attached to the end of the roadside dangerous object 3 10 facing the approaching vehicle 20. Generally, the energy absorption system 20 is installed in its first position, And the first end 21 is longitudinally separated from the second end 22 as shown in FIG. 9A. A plurality of plate support frames 60a-60e are longitudinally separated from each other and can be slidably disposed between the first end 21 and the second end 22. Sometimes, the plate support frames 60a-60e may be referred to as "frame assemblies". The number of plate support frames can be changed according to the required length of the relevant energy absorption system. A plurality of plates 160 may be attached to the slide sample assembly 40 and the plate support frames 60a-60e. The plate 160 may sometimes be referred to as a "stretcher" or "stretcher." When a vehicle impacts the first end 21 of the energy absorbing system 20, the slider assembly 50 will move longitudinally toward the roadside dangerous object 3 10. The energy absorbing assembly 1 80 (not shown explicitly in Figures 9A and 9B) will absorb energy from the impacted vehicle during this movement. The sheet support frames 60a-60e and the related sheet 160 will also absorb energy from a carrier impacting the first end 21. Fig. 9B is a schematic plan view showing the slider assembly 40 and the plate supporting frames 60a-60e and the 10 related plates 160 which collapse next to each other. The plate support frame 60a-60e is used to prevent the slide assembly 40 from moving further to the roadside dangerous object 31. For convenience of explanation, the position of the energy absorption system 20 as shown in FIG. 9B may be referred to as a “second” position. During most collisions between the vehicle and the end point 2 of the energy absorption system 20, the sled The assembly 40 will generally move only a portion of the distance between the first position as shown in Figure 9A and the second position as shown in Figure 9B. Plate support frames 60a-60e, related plates 160 And the other components of the energy absorbing system 20 are coordinated with each other to redirect the vehicle hitting on either side of the energy absorbing system 20 back to an associated road. Individual plates 16 are attached to the skid assembly 40 And it preferably extends above a part of each of the 20 types of plate 160 attached to the plate support frame 60a. In a corresponding manner, the plate 160 attached to the plate support frame 60a is compared with The Jia line extends above a corresponding portion of the plate 160 attached to the plate support frame 60b. The various components of the energy absorption system 20 provide substantial support for the plate support frame 60a_60e and the plate. Lateral support. 27 200401860 发明, invention description The first end 161 of each plate 160 is preferably as needed It is fixedly attached to the skid * assembly 40 or the plate support frame 60a-60d. Each plate 160 is also preferably slidably attached to one or more downstream plate support frames 60a- 60e. The upstream plate 160 is overlapped with the downstream plate 160 so that when the plate supporting frame 60 center 5 60 ~ bones toward each other, the respective plate 160 is expanded or nested. The plate supporting frame 60a- The sub-sets of 60e and plate 160 are grouped together to form a one_bay group or a two_bay group. For the convenience of illustration, the second end 162 of each upstream plate 160 is at 9a and In FIG. 9B, a lateral protrusion protruding a significant distance of 10 away from the relevant downstream plate 160. As described in more detail below, the plates 160 are preferably nested closely to each other to reduce the second end 162 as much as possible. Any lateral protrusions may catch a vehicle when a reverse angle impact is generated with either side of the energy absorption system 20. The schematic plan view of FIG. 9C shows that the energy absorption system 20a is in danger from the roadside In the first position where the object 310 extends longitudinally, the energy absorption system 20a 15 includes the first position facing the oncoming vehicle. End 21 and second end 22 securely attached to roadside danger 3 10. The energy absorption system 20a also includes a skid assembly 40, a plate support frame 60a-60g, and individual plates 16. The plates 160 extending along both sides of the energy absorbing system 20 and 20a may have approximately the same configuration. However, the length of the plate 160 may be based on the fact that each 20 plate is a "single bay plate," Or "Ewan Plate", and changed. For the convenience of explanation, "One Bay" is defined as the distance between two adjacent plate support frames. The length of the plate 16 privately designated as "Ewan Plate" passes through The choice can span the distance between the three plate support frames when the energy absorbing systems 20 and 20a are in their first position. For example, the first end 161 of a Erwan plate 16o is more than 28 200401860, and the description of the invention is that the Jiaxi is firmly attached to the upstream plate support frame 60a. The second end 162 Che Erjia of Erwan plate 160 is slidably attached to the downstream plate gift frame 60c. The other plate supporting frame 60b is slidably coupled with the second bay plate 160 between the first end 161 and the second end 162. 5 When the skid assembly 40 hits the plate support frame 60a and this plate support frame 60a may in turn touch the plate support frame 60b and then 60c, etc., the plate support frame 60a-60g and the like The attached plate 160 accelerates toward the curb danger 310. The plate support frame 603-6 (^ and the attached plate 160) are used to slow down an impact vehicle. If a single bay group of 10 plate support frames is hit At this time, the Shanwan group will be coupled to its own relevant plate 160, so it will have a higher inertia. In order to mitigate the deceleration of an impacted vehicle, it is better to arrange a Wanwan group downstream of each Shanwan group. When the skid assembly 40 or one or more panel support frames pushed by the skid assembly 40 contact the first panel support frame (such as the panel support frame 60d) of the bay group, The inertia of the 15th series is the same or slightly larger than that of the Yidanwan group (because of the longer plate 160). However, when the second plate support frame of the Erwan group (such as the plate support frame 60e) is touched At this time, the second plate support frame 60 has a lower inertia because it is only slidable to the relevant plate 160. Therefore, the deceleration effect is slightly reduced. 20 The energy absorption system 20a has the following bay groups: 2-2- 1-2-2, where "2" represents two bays and "1" represents one bay. Starting from the skid assembly 40 and moving to the curb dangerous goods 310 The energy absorption system 20a has one Erwan group (calculate the skid assembly 40 including itself as one bay), another Erwan group, a single bay group, and then an Erwan group and another Erwan group. 29 200401860 发明, description of the invention As shown in the figure, the nose cover 83 can be attached to the skid assembly 40 on the first end 21 of the energy absorption system 20. The nose cover 83 can be a generally rectangular piece of flexible A plastic material. The opposite edge of the nose cover 83 is attached to the corresponding opposite side of the end point 41 of the skid assembly 40. The nose cover 83 5 preferably includes a plurality of dangerous objects that can be directed to the roadside 3 10 Chevron delineators 84 as seen by the approaching vehicle. Various reflectors and / or warning signs can also be mounted on the skid assembly 40 and along each side of the energy absorption system 20. This absorption The system 20 preferably includes a plurality of absorbable assemblies 186 aligned in columns 188 and 189 (see FIG. 18) extending longitudinally from the roadside dangerous object 1010 and parallel to each other. Some applications Each column 188 and 189 may contain two or more energy absorption assemblies 186. Columns The energy absorption assembly 186 in 188 can be laterally separated from the energy absorption assembly 86 in column 189. In some applications, the energy absorption assembly 186 can be firmly attached to the roadside 15 dangerous objects 3 10 in front of Concrete foundation 308. Each row 188 and 189 of the energy absorption assembly 186 has a respective first end 187 which roughly corresponds to the first end 21 of the energy absorption system 20. The skid assembly 4 is also preferred The first end 41 of 〇 is arranged adjacent to the first end 187 of the columns 188 and 189 before the impact of the vehicle. The slope assembly 30 can be set on the end point 21 of the energy absorption system 20 to prevent one or more A small vehicle with a low ground clearance directly hits the first end 187 of the columns 188 and 189. If no ramp assembly 30 is provided, one or more small vehicles with low ground clearance may contact either or both of the first ends 187 and experience significant deceleration causing significant damage to the vehicle and / Or injury to people in the car. 30 200401860 发明, description of the invention can provide various types of slopes and other structures to ensure that a vehicle impact end 21 of the energy absorption system 20 will properly engage the skid assembly 40 and will not directly contact the first and second rows of columns 188 and 189. 187 at one end. The ramp assembly 30 may include a pair of ramps 32. Each ramp 32 preferably includes a foot 5 34 having a push-like surface percent extending therefrom. The connector 38 extends from a foot 34 opposite the push-like surface 36. The connector 38 allows each ramp 32 to be firmly engaged with a respective energy absorbing assembly 186 ^ In some applications, the foot 34 may have a height of approximately 6.5 inches. Other components related to the energy absorbing system 20, such as the energy absorbing assembly 186 and the guide rails and 209, preferably have approximately corresponding heights. By limiting the height of the ramp 32 and the ability to absorb the assembly 1 to 10, these components can be passed under a vehicle that impacts with the end 41 of the skid assembly 40. The push-like surface 36 may have a length of about 13.5 inches. The push-like surface 36 may be formed by cutting a structural angle steel (not shown) having a nominal size of 3 inches x 3 inches x 0.5 inches thick into sections having appropriate lengths and angles. Keli 15 attaches segments of structural angle steel to respective feet 34 using welding techniques and / or mechanical fasteners. Slope 32 may also be referred to as "end shoes." In some applications, roadside hazards 310 and / or energy absorption systems 20 may be configured and attached to a suitable concrete or asphalt foundation. In the examples shown in Figures 10 and 13, the concrete foundation 3 08 preferably extends longitudinally and laterally from the roadside dangerous object 3 1 020. As shown in Figures 13 and 18, the energy absorption assembly 186 is better configured and securely attached to a plurality of cross bars 24. Each cross bar 24 can be fixed to the concrete foundation 208 by using different stud bolts 26. In addition to the anchor bolts 26, various types of mechanical fasteners can also be used satisfactorily And anchoring part to fix the cross bar 24 and the concrete foundation 308. 31 200401860 can be changed according to the requirements of each energy absorption system, the number of the K cups and the number of misaligned parts used by each cross bar.仏 才 才 24 can be formed from a structural steel bar with a nominal width of 3 忖 and a nominal thickness of 0.5 ·. Each cross bar 24 may be approximately 22 inches in length. Three holes are preferably formed in each cross bar 24 to accommodate anchor bolts 26. Any one of a carrier with energy 5 absorption system 20 During a side impact, the crossbar 24 is under tension. The materials used to form the crossbar 24 and its associated configuration can be selected to deform the crossbar 24 in response to pull from a lateral impact and absorb energy from the impacted vehicle The monthly absorption assembly 1 86 is similar to the aforementioned energy absorption assembly%. For example, see Figures 6 and 13. To describe the embodiment shown in Figures 9A-18, 10 will be next to the crossbar 24 The support beam 190 is labeled 190a. The respective support beams 190 arranged immediately above it are labeled 190b. The support beams 190a and 190b have approximately the same size and configuration (see Figure 3), including Its extended grips or respective webs 192 of the flanges 194 and 196. Four crossbars 24 can be attached to the web 15 of the support beam 190a opposite the respective flanges 194 and 196. As a result, each The approximately C-shaped cross section of the support beam i9〇a extends away from each of the crossbars 24. The number of crossbars 24 attached to each support beam 190a can be changed according to the intended use of the energy absorption system produced. Energy absorption system In 20, two support beams 190a are laterally separated from each other and attached to four horizontal beams Rod 24. The support beam 190a and the cross bar 24 may be attached using 20 conventional welding techniques and / or mechanical fasteners (not clearly shown). Preferably, the mechanical fasteners 198a and 198b are used to attach a plurality of energy absorbing elements 152 Attached to the respective support beams 190a and 190b. In some applications, each energy absorbing element 152 may have approximately the same configuration and size. In other applications as shown in Fig. 32 200401860 (18) and Invention Description 18, The energy absorbing assembly 186 may be formed using energy absorbing elements 152a, 152b, 152c, 152d, 152e, and 152f having different lengths. A pair of guide bars or guide beams 208 and 209 are preferably attached to the respective support beams 5190b and extend laterally therefrom. In some applications, the guides 208 and 209 may be formed of structural angle steel with feet having an equal width such as 3 inches by 3 inches and a thickness of about 0.5 inches. In other applications, many different guides can be used. The invention is not limited to guides or guide beams 208 and 209. Guides 208 and 209 each have a first leg 10 211 and a second leg 212 that intersect each other at an angle of about 90 degrees. A plurality of holes (not clearly shown) are preferably formed along the length of the second leg 212 to attach the guides 208 and 209 to the respective support beams 190b using mechanical fasteners 198b. The mechanical fastener 198b is preferably longer than the mechanical fastener 198a to accommodate the guides 208 and 209 and the longitudinal force that causes the skid assembly 40 to move toward the curb hazard 310. 15 As shown in the figure, the length of the guides 208 and 209 is longer than the energy absorption assembly i86 of the related columns 188 and 189. When the energy absorbing system 20 is in the second position as shown in Fig. 9B, the plate support frames 60a-60e are arranged next to each other to prevent the slide assembly 40 from further moving. Therefore, the energy absorption assemblies 186 of the columns 188 and 189 need not have the same length as the guide rails 208 and 209. The b-like assembly may have a general configuration including a box with open sides. See Figure 12. The material used to form the skid assembly 40 and its configuration are preferably selected so that the skid assembly 40 remains intact after a high speed vehicle impact. The first end 41 of the skid assembly 40 generally corresponds to the first end 21 of the energy absorption system 20. The end 41 can also be referred to as the ‘’ upstream, end ”of the skid assembly 40. 33 200401860 of the skid assembly 40. Description of the invention The end 47 is opposite to the end 41. The end 47 may also be referred to as the "downstream" end of the skid assembly 40. The skid assembly 40 also includes sides 48 and 49 extending between the ends 41 and 47. As shown in Figures 11 and 13, the sides 48 and 49 of the skid assembly 40 are preferably covered by the plate 160. For ease of illustration, the plate 5 piece 160 has been removed from the side 47 in FIG. 12. The skid assembly 40 can be further defined by summarizing the corner posts 42, 43, 44 and 45 extending vertically from the guide rails 208 and 209. As shown in Figs. 10 to 14, the corner posts 42 and 43 may be formed of structural steel bars having a width of about 4 忖 and a thickness of about 3/4 忖. Each corner post 42 and 43 has a length of about 32 inches. The push-like surface 46 is preferably formed on the endpoints of the corner posts 42 and 43 next to the ground or concrete foundation 308. The size and configuration of the push-out surface 46 is preferably selected to minimize or eliminate contact between the concrete foundation 308 and the respective ends of the corner posts 42 and 43, which may prevent the skid assembly 40 along the guide 208 And 209 smoothly and linearly move to the curb dangerous goods 3 10. 15 corner posts 44 and 45 may be provided with such as 2. 5 "x 2 · 5" feet of equal width and approximately 3/8 inches thick are formed by structural angle steel. The corner posts 44 and 45 preferably have a length of about 29 inches. Corner bars 42, 42, 44, and 45 can be rigidly attached to each other using various configurations of pull bars and supports to provide the required structural strength for the skid assembly 40. 10 The top stay 141 preferably extends laterally between the corner posts 42 and 43. The top stay 142 preferably extends laterally between the corner posts 44 and 45. A pair of top stays 148 and 149 extend longitudinally between the top stays 141 and 142 along respective sides 48 and 49 of the skid assembly 40. The bottom stay 51 preferably extends immediately above the guides 208 and 209 and extends laterally between the corner posts 42 and 43. The other bottom stay 52 is preferably 34 200401860. Description of the invention Immediately above the guides 208 and 209 extends laterally between the corner post 44 and the corner post 45. The end point 41 of the skid assembly 40 also includes tie bars 146 and 147 extending diagonally between the respective corner posts 42 and 43 and the bottom tie bar 51. The corner posts 42 and 43, the top pulls 141, the bottom pulls 51, and the pulls 146 and 147 cooperate with each other to provide a relatively rigid and strong structure on the first end 41 of the slide sample assembly 40. The end 47 series of the skid assembly 40 includes diagonal pull bars 143, 144, and 145. The diagonal pull bars 143, 144, and 145 are connected with the diagonal pull bars 146 and 147. Provides additional structural support. 10 The dimensions of the skid assembly 40 partially defined by the corner posts 42 and 43, the top pull bar 141, and the bottom pull bar 51 are vehicles that are selected to capture or collect an impact. During a collision between a motorized vehicle and the first end 21 of the energy absorbing assembly 20, the kinetic energy from the collision vehicle may be transferred from the first end 41 to other components of the skid assembly 40. The size and configuration of the end 41 can also be selected, so that the kinetic energy is effective when a carrier impacts the center of the first end 41 at 15 or when a carrier impacts the end 41 at an angle not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the energy absorption system 20 To be transferred. The pair of C-shaped passages 50 and 53 preferably extend diagonally from the top stay 141 to the bottom stay 52. The passages 50 and 53 are preferably laterally separated from each other and laterally separated from the corner posts 42 and 43 and the corner posts 44 and 45. The guide assembly 54 is preferably attached to the ends of the passages 50 and 53 extending from the bottom pull bar 20 52. The lengths of the access mantras and brothers are selected to ensure that the guide assembly 54 contacts the webs 192 of the respective support beams 19b. The guide assembly 54 preferably includes a plate 55. The ends of the passages 50 and 53 extending from the bottom stay 52 are attached to one side of the plate 55. A pair of steering gears "and" are preferably attached to opposite sides of the plate 55 and extend approximately perpendicularly therefrom. Steerer 35 200401860 Chop, invention description 58 and 59 can be arranged at an angle relative to each other and the center of the guide assembly 54 to help the skid assembly 40 stay properly positioned in rows 1 88 and 1 89. Energy absorption assembly 186 between. The plate 55 may sometimes be referred to as a guide or skid. Individual tabs 56 and 57 can be attached to the bottom ends of the corner posts 44 and 45 next to the energy absorbing assembly 186. The tabs 56 and 57 protrude laterally inward from the respective corner posts 44 and 45 under the guide rails 208 and 209 and toward the guides 208 and 209. The bottom pull bar 52 is preferably separated from the tabs 56 and 57 so that the feet 211 of the guide rails 208 and 209 can be disposed between the tab 56 and 57 and the bottom pull bar 52, respectively. As shown in FIG. 13 ', the tabs 56 and 57 cooperate with the bottom pull bar 52 to maintain the skid assembly 40 firmly on the guides 208 and 209 while allowing the skid assembly 40 to follow the guide rails 208 and 209 slides to the dangerous side of the road 31. The tabs 56 and 57 are particularly helpful in preventing the skid assembly 40 from responding to side impacts and causing undesirable side rotations. The inertia of the skid assembly 40 and the related friction of the bottom bar 41 sliding on the guides 208 and 209, and the friction caused by the contact between the plate 55 and the support beam 190b 15 The friction system is helpful for shock loading Gear deceleration. Most of the impact between a motorized vehicle and the end 41 of the skid assembly 40 generally occurs at a position approximately above the energy absorption assembly 186. As a result, the vehicle that has an impact with the end 41 generally applies a torque to the skid assembly 40, which forces the bottom stay 52 to be supported down on the guide rails 208 and 209. 20 The dimensions of the plate 55 and the diverters 58 and 59 are selected to be compatible with the web 192 of the passage 190. During a collision between a motorized vehicle and one of the ends 41 of the skid assembly 40, the force from the vehicle is transferred from the top pull bar 141 through the paths 50 and 53 to the bottom pull bar 52 and the guide assembly 54. As a result, the plate member 55 will apply a force to the support beam 190b to keep the skid assembly 40 relative to the energy absorbing assembly ι86. As shown in Figures 11, 12 and 14, the connectors 214 and 216 can be attached to the bottom strap 51 opposite the cross straps 145 and 146. The connectors 214 and 216 are laterally separated from each other, thereby accommodating the connector 220 attached to the blade 206 and extending 5 from the blade 206. Connectors 222 and 224 are also preferably attached to corner post 42 and extend laterally therefrom. The corresponding connectors 222 and 224 are also attached to the corner post 43 and extend laterally therefrom. The connector 222 is separated from the respective connector 224 by a distance generally corresponding to the thickness of the blade 206. As shown in FIG. 14, a plurality of holes can be provided in the connectors 214, 216, 220, 222, 224 and the blade 10 206, so that the mechanical fastener can slide the blade 206 near the energy absorption assembly 186 and slide. The skid assembly 40 is firmly attached. As shown in Figs. 12, 14 and 18, the blade 206 preferably includes two sets of bevel-shaped cutting edges or tearing edges 107 and 109. The skid assembly 40 may be slidably disposed on the guide rails 208 and 209 with the cutting edges 107 and 109 aligned with the first end 187 of the energy absorption assembly 186. The thickness of the blade 206 and the gap between the support beams 190a and 190b or the cutting area 154 may be selected so that the blade 206 fits between the flanges 194 and 196 of the support beams 190a and 190b. The blade 206 may also be located in the groove 102 of the energy absorbing assembly 186. As shown in FIG. 14, the blade plate 206 preferably includes a respective guide plate 268. A separate guide plate 268 may be provided on each side of the blade plate 206 used for each support beam 190. The width of each guide plate 268 is selected to be compatible with the width of each support beam 190. The combined thickness of each blade 206 and each guide 268 is selected so as to be compatible with the gaps or cutting areas 154 formed between the respective support beams 190. The thickness of the blade 206 is selected so that it generally corresponds to the size of the gap 154. Preferred system 37 200401860 (ii) Description of the invention Each guide plate 268 is arranged in a substantially C-shaped cross section defined by the web 192 and the flanges 194 and 196 of the relevant branch beam 190. In some applications, the gap or cutting area 154 between the support beams 190a and 190b may be about 1 inch (or 25 mm) and the thickness of the blade 206 may be about 0. 5 inches. 5 During a collision with the end 21 of the energy absorption system 20, when the momentum is transferred from the vehicle to the slide sample assembly 40 causing the slide assembly 40 and the vehicle to move in conjunction with each other, a vehicle will experience a deceleration peak . The deceleration value due to momentum transfer is a function of 40 weight of the skid assembly and the weight and initial speed of the vehicle. When the skid assembly 40 moves longitudinally to the roadside dangerous object 3 10, the guide assembly 10 to 54 will contact the respective support beams 190a and 190b to slide the assembly 40 and the energy absorption assembly 186 and the blade. The required alignment is maintained between 206. The skid assembly 40 keeps the blade 206 aligned with the cutting area 154. When the skid assembly 40 continues to slide toward the roadside dangerous object 310, the blade plate 206 will engage and disengage the energy absorbing elements 152 of the respective energy absorbing assemblies 186. When the 15 slider assembly 40 is impacted by a vehicle, the blade 206 is pushed into the edge of each energy absorbing element 152. The beveled edges 107 and 10 of the blade 206 are connected to respective energy absorbing elements 152. The blade 206 may be formed from a variety of different steel alloys. The beveled edges 107 and 109 are preferably hardened to provide the cutting and / or tearing action required for the energy absorbing element 152. 20 may force the center portion of each energy absorbing element 152 inwardly between the respective support beams 190, while the top and bottom of each energy absorbing element 142 remain fixed to the respective support beams 19 by bolts 198a and 198b. . The central portion of each energy absorbing element 152 continues to be stretched or deformed by the blade 206 until the individual energy absorbing element 152 normally fails under tension. This will result in the separation of the energy absorbing elements 52 and the description of the invention, and when the skid assembly 40 continues to push the cutter 206 through, the separation effect propagates along the length of the respective energy absorbing element 152. When the kinetic energy from the impact carrier has been absorbed, the energy absorbing element 5 152 will stop separating. After the blade 206 passes, one or more energy absorbing elements 152 are separated into upper and lower parts (see Fig. 5), and these upper and lower parts are separated by a gap. The blade 206 has a deep and strong beam configuration when viewed from the associated energy absorbing element 152. The blade 206 is fixed to the skid assembly 10 40 at both ends and the center and is thus rigid. Therefore, when the blade 206 engages the energy absorbing element 152, the energy absorbing element 152 will fail but the blade 206 will not fail. As previously mentioned, the thickness and number of energy absorbing elements 152 can be varied to safely absorb kinetic energy from vehicles of widely different types, sizes, and / or impact speeds. In summary, the torque applied to the end 41 of the skid assembly 40 will also increase the friction between the blade 206 and the portion of the energy absorbing element 152 that has been cut or torn. In many applications, the energy absorbing element disposed next to the skid assembly 40 is usually thin or "soft" to slow down smaller, slower moving vehicles. It is preferable to select a length sufficiently long for each of the 20 columns 188 and 189 related to the energy absorbing systems 20, 120, 120a, and 420 so that the slider assembly 40 has moved past the front having the "softer" energy absorbing element After that, it is enough to provide multiple stages that can satisfactorily decelerate large and high-speed vehicles. Generally speaking, compared with the energy absorbing elements installed near the first end 21, the energy absorbing elements installed in the middle of the columns 188 and 189 and immediately adjacent to the end points of each column will be "harder". 39 200401860 玖2. Description of the Invention When the first end of a vehicle's initial impact skid assembly 40 faces the respected vehicle, any person in the vehicle who is not wearing a seat belt or other restraint will bounce forward from his seat. Appropriately restricted personnel in the vehicle will generally slow down with the vehicle. In the skid assembly 40 along the guide 8 and survey: within a short time and distance of 5 minutes, unrestricted personnel in the vehicle may float in the vehicle In the air. The deceleration force applied to the impact vehicle may be large during the same period of time. However, 'just before the unrestricted personnel in the vehicle touch the interior of the vehicle such as windshield (not clearly shown), The deceleration force to the vehicle will generally be reduced to a lower level to minimize the possible harm to personnel in the unrestricted car 10. In the embodiment shown in Figure 9A, the end 47 of the skid assembly 40 Will come into contact with the plate support frame 60a, The sheet support frame 60, in turn, will contact the sheet support frame 60b and any other sheet support frame disposed downstream of the skid assembly 40. The movement of the skid assembly 40 towards the curb danger 3 1 0 will The expansion and contraction of the 15 plate supporting frames 60a-60e and their related plates 160 relative to each other results in the plate supporting frame and the vertical movement of the skid * assembly 40 from the first end 21 to the second end 22 of the energy absorbing system 20. The inertia of the related plate 160 will further decelerate an impact carrier. The expansion or contraction of the plate 160 relative to each other will generate additional friction, and this additional friction will also help to slow the vehicle. The 20-plate support The movement of the frames 60a-60e along the guides 208 and 209 also creates additional friction to further decelerate the vehicle. As previously described for Figures 9A and 9B, the plate support frames 60a-60e and related plates 160 Redirects the vehicle on either side of the shock energy absorption system 20 back to the relevant road. Each plate 160 preferably has a partial 40 200401860 玖, invention description by the first or upstream end 161 and the second End or downstream end 162 Long rectangular configuration (see Figures 9A, 10 and 15). Each plate 160 preferably includes a first edge 181 and a second edge 182 extending longitudinally between the first end 161 and the second end 162 (see (Figures 10 and 15). In some applications, the plate ι605 can have a length of about 34¾ inches for a `` single bay plate '' and about five inches and two inches for a `` two bay plate ''. Formed by standard ten (10) W-beam guardrail sections. Each plate 160 preferably has a width of approximately 12 1/4 inch. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 15, the respective grooves 164 are preferably formed in the respective plates 160 between the ends 161 and 162. The slot 164 is preferably aligned with and extends along the longitudinal centerline (not clearly shown) of each of the plates 605. The length of the slot 164 is smaller than the length of the relevant plate 160. A separate slot plate 170 is slidably disposed in each slot 164. The metal strip 166 can be welded to the first end 161 of each plate 160 along the edges 181 and 182 and the middle. See Figure 16. In some applications, the metal strip 166 may have a length of about 121/4 inches and a width of about 2½ inches. The length of each metal strip 166 is preferably equal to the width of the respective plate 160 between the respective longitudinal edges 181 and 182. Mechanical fasteners 167, 168, and 169 may be utilized to attach each metal strip 166 to its associated corner post 68 or 69. The mechanical fasteners 167 and 169 are substantially the same. The metal 20 metal band 166 provides more contact points for mounting the end 161 of the plate 16 to the respective plate support frames 60a-60f. The recess 184 is preferably formed in each of the plates 160 at a joint surface between the second end 162 and the respective longitudinal edges 181 and 182 (see FIG. 15). The recess 184 allows the plate 60 to be tightly closed when the energy absorbing system 20 is in the first position.

160cc中朝向弟一端122之端點係以與上述第15圖相同的方 式滑動式耦合至接板74。另一接板74耦合至板片支撐框架 6以。具體言之,第一部74a螺栓至板片支撐框架6〇c,朝 向第二端122且遠離中線no延伸之第二部74b則螺栓至板 片16〇cc上之一帶166(第19B圖未明顯圖示)。板片16〇讣上 2〇的相鄰端係滑動式耦合至板片支撐框架60c,如同上文第 15圖所描述。 亦可將能量吸收系統120描述為“右側擴張,,。部份應 用中,第一侧131可相對於中線130(未明顯圖示)呈擴張狀 ,且第二側132可對於中線13〇(未明顯圖示)概呈平行延伸 50 200401860 玖、發明說明 可將所產生之能置吸收系統描述為“左側擴張,,(未明顯 圖示)。本發明可依據各路邊危險物的相關幾何結構以及 裝設拓樸學來設計與裝設一能量吸收系統。譬如,根據本 發明原理形成之-能量吸收系統的一側可能在一出口斜坡 5附近(未明顯圖示)以一與車流主線及離開斜坡之間角度相 對應之角度呈擴張狀。一具有單側擴張的能量吸收系統可 使一相關的能量吸收總成大致保持平行於主車流方向,同 時仍對於從離開車流主線到一離開斜坡上之載具提供了大 致連續的撞擊保護。 10 從板片支撐框架6〇d開始,各別的框架延伸部8〇d_8〇g 了與相關板片支撐框架60d-60g相鄰地配置。框架延伸部 80d-80g可與各別的板片支撐框架6〇d-6〇g—起縱向滑動。 各別的外載錯固總成11 〇e_ 11 〇g較佳係固定於列189鄰近處 且刀隔,以與第一侧132的第二部132b角度概呈對應之角 15 度來支撐各框架延伸部80e-80g。框架延伸部8〇e-80g較佳 係可滑式配置於其相關的外載錨固總成HOed丨以上。框架 延伸部的數量及外載錨固總成的數量可依據各路邊危險物 的特徵及側131及132相關的一或多個角度而改變。 在能量吸收系統120代表的實施例中,框架延伸部 20 80d-80f可具有類似的整體組態。可將框架延伸部8〇d-80g 描述為具有概呈長方形橫剖面,其中具有由一或多個交叉 拉條82搞合在一起之一或多個角柱68a、69a。然而,可改 變各框架延伸部80d-80f相關的尺寸,藉以容納第二側132 的第二部132b形成的擴張或角度。框架延伸部80f更詳細 51 200401860 玫、發明說明 地描述於第21圖中。框架延伸部的其中一個角柱68&可緊 固至板片支撐框架60的其中一個角柱68。 如第19A圖所示,框架延伸部8〇d的寬度概括小於框架 延伸部80e、80f及80g的寬度。當框架延伸部80的寬度增 5大時’各別的外載錨固總成ll〇e-ii〇g可與導執209相距一 段適當距離以對於框架延伸部80e-80g及相關板片16〇提供 所需要的機械支撐。因為框架延伸部8〇d的寬度小於其他 框架延伸部80e-80g的寬度,在部份的路邊危險物裝設案 例中對於框架延伸部80d可能不需要一外載錨固總成11〇。 10 外載錨固總成11 〇e-11 〇g的各種特性顯示於第19A、20 、21、22及25圖中。各外載錨固總成11〇e-U〇g較佳包括各 別的基板112、四個錨固螺栓26及導板114。可能利用腹板 或支撐構件116、116a來安裝導板114與各別的基板112。 各別的鉤117可與導板114相鄰地附接在各框架延伸部8〇e 15 、80f^8〇g外部。較佳選擇各鉤117的尺寸以讓各別的框 架延伸部80e-80g相對於相關導板H4呈縱向滑動。各鉤117 與其相關導板114配合以防止相關框架延伸部8〇e_80g在一 載具與侧132衝擊期間產生旋轉。腹板116a係位於腹板116 與鉤117相對之側上。因此,外載錨固總成係形成一用於 20收納鉤117之通路,此通路概括平行於中線13〇。腹板U6a 提供了外載錨固總成對於轉動之阻力。 根據本發明原理形成之一能量吸收系統可安裝或附接 在一 ’匕/旋土或柏油基礎(未明顯圖示)上。在部份裝設案例 中,錨固螺栓26的長度可在約7吋(7,,)至約18忖(18,,)之間 52 200401860 玖、發明說明 ,動。部份應用中,孔(未明顯圖示)可形成於一柏油或混 “土楚中以收納各別的!苗固螺栓26。亦可將各型黏劑材 料放置在孔内以將銷固螺栓26固定在位置中。錯固螺检% 較佳未顯著延伸於相關螺帽27頂上。可用來裝設一採用本 5毛月原理的此里吸收系統之混凝土及柏油錨固部及其他緊 固件係可得自地址為Ρ·〇· B〇x 2U48 Tulsa,〇klahQma 74121 的希帝公司(Hilti Inc )。 可在一朝向能置吸收系統丨2〇的第一端延伸的方向中 將各別的偏向板或斜坡136附接至各外载錨固總成u〇e_ 10 UOg。斜坡136從安裝導板114延伸至地面或基板112的位 準。偏向板或斜坡136具有類似於上述斜坡36的功用。若 一載具萬一在外載錨固總成ll〇e-l10g附近與側132產生衝 擊,偏向板136將防止車輪直接衝擊或接合外載錨固總成 11 Oe-110g。斜坡136亦在對於第一端121的碰撞中發揮作用 15 ,而使能量吸收機構崩塌,如下文更詳細地描述。 當能1吸收系統12 0配置於其第一位置時,框架延伸 部80d_80g較佳配置成為緊鄰於相關的板片支撐框架6〇d_ 60g。可滿意地使用諸如螺栓88等各型機械緊固件來附接 框架延伸部80d-80g與板片支撐框架60d-60g。若一載具衝 2〇 擊到與框架延伸部80d-80g相鄰的第二側132,相關的衝力 或動能將從框架延伸部80d-80g轉移至外載錨固總成i1〇c一 110g及從各別的鉤117轉移至相鄰的板片支撐框架60d_6〇f 、導執209及能量吸收總成186。 當第二側132受到一諸如小卡車等較高載具衝擊時, 53 200401860 玖、發明說明 外載錨固總成110e-110g特別有用。參照第21圖其中顯示, 此衝擊通常位於右上板片16 〇上且傾向於使框架延伸部8 〇 f 及板片支撐框架60f沿軌208、209逆時針方向旋轉。此旋 轉可能將不良的翻滾作用傳遞給衝擊的載具。釣ln可防 5止旋轉,藉此盡量減小載具的翻滾。以直立狀態將衝擊的 載具再引導到路上。 根據本發明原理形成之一具有翼延伸部的能量吸收系 統可從約24吋(24”)寬度擴大至容納大或寬的路邊危險物所 需要之任何寬度。在能量吸收系統12〇所代表的實施例中 10 ,第二側132的第二部132b較佳包括一翼延伸部。可藉由 複數個板片支撐框架或翼延伸部支撐框架360及諸如1〇號 護欄等習知的W梁護攔板片260來部份地形成第二部132b 的翼延伸部。部份應用中,板片260長度可能以約28吋 (28”)至約280忖(280”)的增量產生改變。板片260較佳持續 15以大致相同的鬲度從相關板片160延伸。請見第2〇圖。 可將標為360h-360m的板片支撐框架配置於列188及 189的端點與一相關路邊危險物之間。請見第19A、2〇及24 圖。板片支撐框架360h-360m可穩固地附接一柏油或混凝 土基礎(未明顯圖示)或以其他方式穩固地附接在位置中。 20板片支撐框架360的數量可依據一相關路邊危險物的寬度及 路邊危險物與導執208及209的距離而改變。部份應用中, 板片支撐框架360h-360m可裝設在約28吋(28,,)的中心上。 部份應用中,各板片支撐框架36〇可具有一種藉由各 別的柱362、翼延伸部基板364及支架或拉條366部份地界 54 200401860 玖、發明說明 定枝呈一角形組態。可利用複數個錯固螺检^來穩固地 接合基板364與-相關混凝土基礎。各柱如可具有一有關 典型公路護欄支偉柱幻形梁的橫剖面及尺寸。基板364可 由相同材料形成且具有類似於橫桿24的尺寸。支架亦 5可由-I形梁或其他適當類型的公路結構性材料所形成。 如第20圖所示的能量吸收系統12〇可包括位於緊鄰板 片支撐框架36〇j的重疊板片·之間的編接部262。部份應 用中X延伸部係可設有板片且此等板片的長度係 對應於板片160知點與一相關路邊危險物之間距,故不再 10需要編接部262。並且,板片支撐框架36〇及板片26〇可預 先組裝(未明顯圖示)並送到工作位址裝設成一完整單元。 可利用一預先組裝的模組化基底單元及一或多個預先組裝 的翼延伸部來將一能量吸收系統較快速地裝設在一路邊危 險物附近。 15 可根據本發明原理形成一具有翼延伸部之能量吸收系 統,其中利用公路護欄安全系統相關的其他型支撐柱或支 撐結構將翼延伸部固定在位置中。本發明不限於板片支撐 框架360。根據本發明原理形成之翼延伸部可以使用對於相 關路邊危險物及能量吸收總成之較大推拔窄縮率。結果, 20可明顯地降低一相關能量吸收系統的整體長度,同時對於 一衝擊的載具與其車内人員提供了相同或更高的安全性。 部份應用中,概呈C形的通路可附接至板片支撐框架 360。第23圖所示的實施例中,c形通路368可配置於下板 片260與相關的柱362之間。可滿意地使用螺栓37〇來附接 55 200401860 玫、發明說明 板片260及相關的C形通路368與柱362。部份應用中,c形 通路368提供了所需要的強度以讓相關的翼延伸部抵抗執 面衝擊。部份應用中,c形通路(未明顯圖示)亦可裝設在 上組的板片260與相關的柱362之間。部份應用中最好可能 5採用8吋(8’’)深的通路。通路368較佳延伸於該組板片的全 長。 較佳利用上文對於板片支撐框架6〇所描述的大致相同 方式來將板片160與各別的板片延伸部8〇d-8〇g可滑式耦合 。從板片支撐框架360j開始,習知的貿梁26〇可穩固地附接 1〇及安裝在板片支撐框架360h-360m上。板片支撐框架36〇的 數量及板片260的數量係可依據列188及189與相關路邊危 險物的間距而改變。可將各別的編接狀接合部28〇配置於 板片160與板片支撐框架360j上的相關冒梁26〇之間。 若板片160及/或260在一側向衝擊期間被碰到,一衝 15擊載具將被再導回到相鄰道路且遠離相關的路邊危險物。 依據側向衝擊的位置而定,載具衝擊可從板片i 6〇直接傳 遞至相鄰的板片支撐框架60或板片延伸部8〇然後再到板片 支撐框架60。由於板片160通常在高處被撞,板片支撐框 架60將試圖旋轉。然而,可藉由執上的梁導件底下之往内 20延伸的突部或籤片67,來防止板片支撐框架60在導執208 及209上旋轉。 參照第23圖’一側向衝擊期間之載具衝擊可從w梁板 片260直接地傳遞至相鄰的板片支撐框架36〇h_36〇m。可藉 由相關支架366及基板364來防止板片支撐框架36〇h_36〇m 56 200401860 玖、發明說明 旋轉。橫桿24及基板264皆可由於側向衝擊而彎曲或變形 。因此,此系統在側向衝擊期間可藉由使橫桿24及基板 3 64變形而“屈服”。就像此系統在碰撞初期的崩塌作用, 此種在側向或側邊衝擊時之“屈服,,作用可使施加至一側向 5衝擊載具的減速力降低。系統120、120a及420—般在再導 向性側向或侧邊衝擊過後係保持於其位置中。 第24及25圖的示意圖係顯示能量吸收系統12〇a的各種 特性。能量吸收系統120a包括面對駛來車輛之第一端121 以及與一相關路邊危險物(未明顯圖示)相鄰地配置之第二 10端122c。能量吸收系統120及120a的第一端121可具有大致 相同的組態與尺寸。能量吸收系統12(^亦包括第一側Ulc 及第二侧132。可將第一侧131c描述為具有一左側擴張。 可將第二側132描述為具有一右側擴張。能量吸收系統 12〇a所代表的實施例中,第一側13 1 c及第二側132除了各 15別的左側擴張及右側擴張之外可具有大致相同的組態與尺 寸。部份地以列188及189的端點與一相關路邊危險物之間 距作為基礎’能量吸收系統120及120a的第二側132亦可具 有大致相同的組態及尺寸。 能量吸收系統120a的各種組件可相對於中線13〇概呈 2〇對稱性配置。第一側13 lc及第二側132彼此係沿著相關導 軌208及209的至少一部份概呈平行延伸。第一側131的第 一部131 a及第二側132的第一部132a彼此係沿著中線13〇的 至少一部份從第一端121概呈平行延伸。第一侧131(:的第 一部131b可相對於第一部i3la配置在大約相同的角度。第 57 200401860 玖、發明說明 二侧U2的第二部132b可相對於第一部U2a配置在大約相 同的角度。 當此量吸收系統120a位於其第一位置時,將滑孔4〇可 滑式配置於面對駛來車輛之第一端121上。能量吸收系統 5 U〇a的第二端122c可與一較大且寬的路邊危險物(未明顯 圖示)相鄰地配置。第一側l31c的第二端12。及第二側132 的第二端122b可附接一混凝土障壁或一習知護攔系統(未 明顯圖示)的其他部份。第一側131c的部份13比及第二側 132的部份132b可皆相對於縱向中線13〇配置在大約相同的 10角度。緊鄰於板片支撐框架60c、第一側13 1C的部份13 1 b 及第二側132的部份132b係可相對於部份13 la及部份132a 配置成為約7度(7。)的角。 如上文對於能量吸收系統120所描述,第一側13卜的 第二部13 lb較佳係包括一第二群的板片支撐框架36〇h_ 15 360爪及與其穩固地附接之多個板片260。如第25圖所示, 一對側延伸部80f較佳配置於板片支撐框架6〇f的相對側上 。可將相關的板片160與各別的側延伸部80f可滑式附接。 當一衝擊的載具打擊在能量吸收系統120、120a的第 一端121時,滑橇40將移動且能量吸收總成產生接合。板 20 片支撐框架60a-60b沿著導執208、209移動,且相附接的 板片160沿著導軌軸線伸縮,如同上述。當滑橇繼續沿著 導軌移動時,板片支撐框架60c-60f將同樣地亦沿著導軌開 始依序移動。當板片支撐框架60c移往第二端122時,板片 160cc(見第19B圖)係在板片l60dd上方伸縮。 58 200401860 玖、發明說明 板片160改變其相對於導執2〇8、2〇9的定向,變得較 不平行且較為垂直。接板74及帶166之間的耦合係使板片 彎折及改變定向以增大相對於中線13〇的角度。槽板17〇構 成的滑動連接(見第15圖)可讓板片的下游端因為第一端衝 5擊而產生退耦,以進一步幫助板片改變定向。 框架延伸部80d-80g—般係與各別相關的板片支撐框 架60d-60g聯合地移動。框架延伸部在一概括平行於導執 208、209的方向中移動。各鉤117(見第22圖)與各別的框架 延伸部聯合地移動。鉤117移往第二端122(第22圖定向中 10的右方),而在其初始的安裝導板114下方移動。各鉤117 係脫離各別的導板Π 4且繼續其動作,而接觸到位於下游 的斜坡136。鉤117騎坐於斜坡136,揚升了其相關的板片 延伸部及板片支撐框架。如第21圖所示,在籤片67與導軌 208、209之間具有垂直間隙,其中板片支撐框架6〇可從導 15 執略微地提高,以讓鉤117能夠在斜坡136上提高。 再度參照第22圖,當板片支撐框架繼續沿著導軌移動 時’鉤沿著安裝導板頂部從斜坡滑動然後從安裝導板114 的尾邊緣或下游邊緣落下。鉤進一步往下游移動且接觸下 個斜坡,並重覆此程序。 20 如第19A圖所示,外載錨固總成li〇e-ii〇g係在車流方 向中進一步與導軌遠離隔開。因此,一鉤117(諸如連接至 框架延伸部80e的鉤)可通過導軌209與一外載錨固總成(諸 如外載錨固總成ll〇g)之間而不橫越斜坡136。斜坡136較 佳具有一面對導執之推拔狀内邊緣136a(見第25圖)。通過 59 200401860 玖、發明說明 的鉤117可接觸内邊緣13以且被迫前往導轨。位於下游的 外載錨固總成可充份地分隔開來藉以避免一上游板片上的 鉤117接觸到下游的外載錨固總成。範例中,如第24圖所 示’鉤係耦合至板片支撐框架60e,且藉由其相關的框架 5延伸部80e在外載錨固總成ll〇f上騎坐於斜坡,且通過外 載錨固總成110g之間。因此,外載錨固總成在對於能量吸 收系統的一側向衝擊期間運作時並不與此系統之鼻頭衝擊 崩塌產生干擾。 位於與腹板116a相同側上之推拔狀内邊緣丨36a亦作為 10視覺參考物,以確保腹板U6a處於内载位置(inboard),而 不在第一端121衝擊中與鉤117動作產生干擾。 因為第一側131c的部份131b及第二側132的部份132b 相對於導執具有一角度甚至在許多環境下相對於車流方向 具有一角度,故需要強化板片160以盡量降低一載具通過 15 板片之可能性。 可將至少一個纜線總成及較佳兩個或更多纜線總成與 滑橇總成40及一相關能量吸收系統之第一側及/或第二側 的至少一部份產生耦合。各纜線總成可包括一或多個纜線 、多個纜線夾固件及多個夾固板。如第19A及24-28B圖所 20示,第一繞線5〇 1及弟一繞線502可沿著相關板片16〇從板 片支撐框架360h縱向延伸至相關滑橇總成4〇。可利用諸如 纜線夾固件510等各種技術,將纜線5〇1及5〇2的自由端與 翼延伸部中的各別柱362固定。請見第27圖。第一纜線5(H 可在第一側131c上沿著板片朝向第一端m延伸(見第24圖) 60 200401860 玖、發明說明 。在板片支撐框架60a上,第一纜線501係藉由對角狀延伸 至大約板片支撐框架6〇a位置而跨接在導執2〇8及209上以 包覆住滑橇總成40的第二端42上的一直立部周圍且繞回到 第一侧上的翼延伸部。第二纜線502沿著第二側132遵循一 5類似路徑且可包覆在滑橇總成40的第二端42的一相對直立 部周圍及對角狀延伸橫越至一緊鄰於板片支撐框架6^之 位置弟一纟苋線5 01及弟二纟覽線5 0 2提供額外拉力支撐,以 幫助各別的第一側131及第二側132抵抗側向衝擊。部份應 用中’纜線501及502可由約0.5吋直徑的線繩形成。 1〇 第一纜線5〇1及第二纜線502提供額外的錨固作用及抗 拉強度,以讓各別的侧13 1、13 1 c及132滿意地再引導一個 約以20度(20。)角衝擊呈約7度(7。)角擴張的侧131、131()及/ 或132部份之載具。從一緊鄰於板片支撐框架36〇h的下游 位置到一與滑橇總成40相關之各別直立部,纜線50丨及5〇2 15 部份可以螺紋方式接合在各別板片160的崗部之間。各繞 線501及502隨後可通過一下板片的崗部回到板片支撐框架 360h 〇 第28A及28B圖顯示與框架延伸部80d相鄰之、纜線502 部份。此實施例中,各別的夾固板504可與相關彎板74穩 20 固地附接。一概呈U形纜線夾固件506可插過一形成於各夾 固板504中的開口 508,以將纜線502的一部份相對於板片 160及板片支撐框架60c固定在所需要位置。 纜線501、502較佳耦合至各板片支撐框架60a-60c及 框架延伸部80d-80g。纜線端點可耦合至最下游的框架延 61 200401860 玖、發明說明 伸部或耦合至路邊危險物本身。纜線亦可延伸至翼延伸部 板片260内。 在第30及3 1圖所示的能量吸收系統420中顯示,第一 側431及第二側432的擴張作用可從第一端121開始。能量 5吸收糸統420亦為根據本發明原理形成之一具有不對稱側 邊之能S吸收糸統的另* —範例。 複數個分裂的板片支撐框架460a-460I可與能量吸收系 統420配合使用,以讓各別側431及432以各種角度擴張及 依需要容納各種寬度。可將分裂的板片支撐框架46〇&及 10 460b與導執208可滑式附接。可將分裂的板片支撐框架 460o460i可滑式附接至導軌209。可依需要改變分裂的板 片支撐框架460之相關尺寸及組態,以容納各別侧43丨及 431的角度或擴張。亦可依需要對於各分裂的板片支撐框 架460提供各別的外載銷固總成丨丨〇。 15 可將諸如上述5〇1及502等纜線與能量吸收系統42〇配 合使用。 鉸鏈430將侧431、432耦合至能量吸收系統42〇的第一 端121。銷型鉸鏈430可使側431、432移動至所需要的角度 。對於各侧,鉸鏈係在板片160内耦合至帶166及耦合至滑 2〇橇總成40的第一端直立部41、43。直立部可為角柱,就像 滑橇總成下游側之直立部44、45。 鉸鏈430不但在能量吸收系統420的裝設期間作為鉸鏈 ’亦在一載具與第一端121衝擊的期間作為鉸鏈。當滑樣 總成40沿著導執208、209移動時,板片160在各側上產生 62 200401860 玖、發明說明 的角度係依照鉸鏈430允許而隨著中線13〇改變。 藉由分裂的板片支撐框架可以獨立地調整各別側相對 於導執208、209及相對側之角度。藉由分裂的板片支撐框 架’第一側431具有一組平行的支撐框架且其係獨立於連 5接至第二側432之該組板片支撐框架。分裂的板片支撐框 架亦可作為第19A及24圖的系統120、120a的板片延伸部8〇 之替代方式。 第3 1圖係顯示可與本發明滿意地配合使用之一分裂的

As a result, the recess 184 minimizes the possibility of a vehicle tripping the side of the energy absorbing system 20 during a "reverse angle" collision or impact. The plate support frames 60a-60e may have approximately the same size and configuration 5. Therefore, only the sheet support frame 60e will be described in detail. See Figure 16. In some applications, the plate support frame 60e has a generally rectangular configuration. This configuration is partially composed of a first column 68 adjacent to the guide rail 208 and a second column 69 adjacent to the guide rail 209. As defined. The top stay 61 extends laterally between the first pillar 68 and the second pillar 69. The bottom stay 62 extends laterally between the first pillar 10 68 and the second pillar 69. The lengths of the columns 68 and 69 and the position of the bottom pull bar 62 are selected so that when the plate support frame 60e is arranged on the guides 208 and 209, the bottom pull bar 62 will contact the guide rails 208 and 209 but the column 68 And 69 does not touch the concrete foundation 308. A plurality of cross bars 63, 64, 65, 70, and 71 may be arranged between the columns 68 15 and 69, the top bars 61 and the bottom bars 62 to provide a rigid structure. In some applications, the cross bars 63, 64, 65, 70 and 71 and / or the columns 68 and 69 may be formed from heavier structural steel components. Further, the cross stay 65 may be installed at one of the lower positions of the columns 68 and 69. The weight of the support frame 60 and the center 60e and the position of the associated cross-tabs can be changed to provide the required strength during a 20-way impact with one of the energy absorption systems 20. The tab 66 is attached to the end point of the column adjacent to the concrete foundation 308 and extends laterally toward the energy absorbing assembly 186. The tab 67 is attached to the end of the column 68 adjacent to the hybrid / rotorial assembly 38 and toward the energy absorbing assembly! 86 extends laterally. The tabs 66 and 67 cooperate with the bottom pull bar 62 to keep the plate support frame 60e and the guides 208 and 209 in engagement during a lateral impact with the energy absorbing system 42 200401860 玖, description 20 of the invention. The impulse from a carrier that collides with either side of the energy absorbing assembly 20 will be transferred from the plate 160 to the plate support frame 60a-60g. After the force of the side impact 5 is transferred, it is transferred from the plate support frame 60a-60g to the relevant guide rails 208 and / or 209, and then toward the energy absorption assembly 186 and through the crossbar 24 and the mechanical fastener 26 to the concrete foundation 308. Crossbars 24, mechanical fasteners 26, energy absorbing assemblies 186, guides 208 and 209, and plate support frames 60a_60g provide lateral support during a side impact with the energy absorbing system 20. 10 For ease of explanation, the plate 160 shown in Figure 15 has been labeled i60a, 160b, 160c, 160d, 160e, and 160f. In addition, the vertical edges of the plates i60a_160d are labeled as vertical edges 181 & -181 (1 and 182 & -182 (1, and the vertical edges of the plate 160 £ are labeled as vertical edges 181f and 182f.) In 160b and 160d, end 161 and 162 are labeled as end 161a and 162a, end 161b 15 and 162b, and end 16Id and 162d. Similarly, in plate 160c, the upstream end is labeled as end 161c; in plate 160e The downstream end is labeled as end i62e. As shown in Figures 15 and 17A, respective metal strips 166 can attach the first end 161a and the first end 161d to the column 68 of the plate support frame 60c. In a similar manner, the respective metal bands 166 are provided as corner posts 68 that can securely attach the first ends 16lb and 16le 20 to the plate support frame 60d. As shown in Figures 17A and 17B, the 'bolt 168 series extends past The hole 72 in each slot plate 170 and the corresponding hole (not shown) in one of the plates 160b. As shown in FIG. 17, the slot plate 170 preferably includes a hole 172 extending therethrough. The opposite finger 17 4 And 17 6 series extend laterally from the slot plate 17 0-side. Refer to 17 4 and 43 200401860 玖, invention description 176 size can be stored in the slot 164 of the relevant plate ι60 The mechanical fastener 168 is preferably longer than the mechanical fasteners 167 and 169 to accommodate the slot plate 170. Each slot plate 170 and bolt 168 cooperate with each other to stably anchor the end 161 of an inner plate 160 and the associated post 68 or 69, at the same time, an outer plate 160 can be caused to slide longitudinally relative to the column 5 or 69 associated with 5. See the inner plate 160b and the outer plate 160a in Figure 17a. A part of each bolt 168 and The fingers 174 and 176 of the slot plate no are slidably arranged in the respective slots 164 of each plate 160. The plate support frame 10 60c is impacted by a carrier and the end 21 of the energy absorbing assembly 20 And the first end 161a of the plate 160a will move longitudinally to the roadside dangerous object 3 10. By the related slot plate 170 engaging in the vertical slot 164, the plate 160a can be longitudinally slid relative to the plate 160b until the plate The support frame 60c contacts the plate support frame 60d. When this contact occurs, the plate support frame 60d and the related plate 160 will move with the plate support frame 60c and its related plate I5 160 to the roadside dangerous object 160 The relative "softness," or "hardness," of an energy absorption system may depend on The number and characteristics of the energy absorption element 152, the position of the energy absorption element 52, and the position and inertia of the plate supporting frame 60a-60g and its related plate 160. For example, 'the oval groove 204 can be lowered by The number and / or size of the energy absorbing element 200 shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 20 is modified to be relatively rigid. In the same way, the energy absorbing element 200 can be made softer by increasing the number and / or size of the oval grooves 204. If the thickness of the energy absorbing element 152 is increased, the force value required to push the blade 206 through is increased, so a harder part is generated in the related energy absorbing system. The energy as described in the previous Figure 44 200401860 发明, description of the invention The absorption assembly 486 series shows various techniques for improving the hardness of the energy absorption system. The energy absorbing system 20 shown in Fig. 18 preferably includes energy absorbing elements 152a, 152b, 152c, 152d, 152e, and 152f.

It is formed by a structural steel bar with a width of 5 inches and a length of about 92 inches. Each of the energy absorbing elements 152f preferably has a thickness corresponding to a No. 10 structural steel bar. 15 Various components and characteristics of energy absorbing systems 320 and 20 such as energy absorbing assemblies 86, 1 86, 486 and energy absorbing elements 100, 152, 200, 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, 412 can be combined as required In the energy absorption systems 120, 120a, and 420. The energy absorbing systems 120, 120a, and 420 can dissipate kinetic energy by tearing or tearing individual energy absorbing elements. However, an energy absorption system with expanded sides and / or wing extensions formed in accordance with the principles of the present invention can also be used with other types of energy absorption assemblies satisfactorily. The energy absorption system 120 shown in Figs. 19A-23 adopting the principle of the present invention can be installed near a wide or large roadside dangerous object facing one of the oncoming vehicles. 45 200401860 发明, description of the invention. An energy absorption system 120a using another embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. Various components that can be used with the energy absorption systems 120 and 120a are shown in Figures 26 to 29. A monthly absorption system 420 employing another embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. 30 and 31. Energy 5 absorption systems 120, 120a, and 420 are sometimes described as "non-braking, redirected impact bumpers." Energy absorption systems 120, 120a, and 420 can also be described as `` expanded '' systems, because the endpoints of each system that are arranged adjacent to a curbside dangerous object are usually more significant than the endpoints of the individual systems facing the approaching vehicle Wider. The energy absorption systems 120, 120a, and 420 may be included in separate columns 188 and 189 summarizing a longitudinal extension from the first 10 end 121 to a location in the middle of an associated roadside hazard (not clearly shown). Aligned multiple energy absorption assemblies 186. Columns 188 and 189 may also be aligned parallel to each other. Sometimes columns 1 $ 8 and 189 and / or energy absorption assembly 186 may be referred to as a skid assembly 4 〇 and the plate support frame 60a_60g (see Figures 19A and 24) or the split plate support frame 15 460a-460i (see Figures 30 and 31), "Guide,". Some characteristics related to the energy absorption systems 120, 120a, and 420 can be described with respect to the longitudinal centerline 130 arranged between the columns 188 and 189. An energy absorption system employing the principles of the present invention may have an absorption assembly in the month b in various configurations. In some applications, 'only a single row of energy absorbing assembly 20 can be installed near a roadside dangerous object. In other applications, three or more rows of energy absorbing assemblies can be installed. Also, each column may have only one energy absorbing assembly or multiple energy absorbing assemblies. The present invention can modify an energy absorption system so as to reduce as much as possible the harm caused to restricted and unrestricted personnel in a wide range of vehicles traveling at various speeds. 46 200401860 发明. Description of the invention In general, other types of energy absorption assemblies can be used for the systems 120, 120a, and 420 of Figs. 19A-31. The energy absorption assembly can use crushing, squeezing, bursting, splitting and other methods. The energy absorbing assembly 186 is preferably arranged and firmly attached to a plurality of five crossbars 24. In some applications, a total of eight crossbars 24 and four anchor bolts 26 per crossbar 24 may be used to install the energy absorbing systems 120, 120a, and / or 420. The number and position of the crossbar 24 and the anchor bolts 26 can be changed to provide a mechanical strength sufficient to withstand the significant forces generated when a vehicle impacts one side of the energy absorbing system. For example, a more robust 10 structural base and foundation may be required to satisfactorily redirect a load at an angle of about 20 degrees (20 °) to a portion of an energy absorbing system that expands by about 7 degrees (7 °). With. A pair of guides 208 and 209 or guide beams 208 and 209 are preferably attached to respective energy absorption assemblies 186 and extend laterally therefrom.

The length of the guides 208 and 209 is preferably longer than the length of the energy absorption assembly 186 of the related columns 188 and 189. When the energy absorption systems 120 and 120a are in their respective second positions (not clearly shown), the skid assembly 40 and the plate support 20 can be arranged next to each other in columns 188 and 189. On the end opposite the first end 121. When the energy absorption system 420 is in its second position (not clearly shown), the skid assembly 40 and the split plate support frames 460a-460i can be arranged adjacent to each other in columns 188 and 89 and first The end 121 is opposite to the end. 47 200401860 (ii) Description of the invention The schematic diagram in Figure 19A shows a plan view of an energy absorption system 120 extending longitudinally from a curbside dangerous object (not clearly shown) and possibly including a concrete barrier 31. The energy absorption system 21 includes a first end 121 facing the oncoming vehicle and a second end 122 disposed adjacent to the roadside dangerous object. The energy absorbing system 120 also includes a first side 131 and a second side 132 that are spaced from each other and extend approximately longitudinally between the first end 121 and the second end 122. In this embodiment, the first side 131 and the second side 132 may be described as having a configuration that is approximately asymmetric with respect to the center line 13o.

When the plate is not perpendicular to the plate support #frame or other type of support, use the connection The plate 74 is used to couple the plate to the corresponding support. The corner 76 (see Figure 19C) of the plate 74 generally corresponds to the angle of the plate 5 relative to the relevant support. Since the plate is generally vertical to the plate support frame The extension 'connecting plates 74 do not need to couple the plates to the wing extension plate support frame 360h-360m. Each connecting plate 74 includes a first portion 74a and a second portion 74b. The first and second portions 74a, 74b There are openings for bolts. Fig. 19B shows the use of the adapter plate 74. A adapter plate 74 is a coupling plate 10-piece support frame 60d (more precisely, coupled to the extension 80d). Specifically, 'will be connected The first side 74a of the plate 74 is bolted to the extended portion 80d and the second portion 74b. The second portion 74b extends toward the first end 121. Extends inward towards the center line 130 and bolts to a band 166, which is connected to the plate 16dd. The end of the plate 160dd facing the first end 121 is fixedly coupled to the connection plate. The plate 160cc is oriented in the middle The end of the first end 122 is slidably coupled to the connection plate 74 in the same manner as in the above-mentioned Fig. 15. The other connection plate 74 is coupled to the plate support frame 6. Specifically, the first portion 74a is bolted to the plate. The supporting frame 60c, the second portion 74b extending toward the second end 122 and away from the center line no is bolted to a band 166 on the plate 160c (not shown in FIG. 19B). Adjacent ends of 20 on the plate 160 are slidably coupled to the plate support frame 60c, as described in FIG. 15 above. The energy absorption system 120 may also be described as "the right side expands." In some applications, the first side 131 may expand relative to the center line 130 (not shown), and the second side 132 may extend to the center line 13 〇 (not clearly shown) generally extends in parallel 50 200401860 玖, the description of the invention can describe the generated energy absorption system as "left expansion, (not clearly shown). The invention can design and install an energy absorption system according to the relevant geometric structure of each roadside dangerous object and the installation topology. For example, one side of the energy absorption system formed according to the principles of the present invention may expand near an exit ramp 5 (not shown) at an angle corresponding to the angle between the main line of traffic and the exit ramp. An energy absorption system with one-sided expansion can keep an associated energy absorption assembly substantially parallel to the direction of the main traffic flow, while still providing substantially continuous impact protection from the vehicle exiting the main flow line to an off-ramp vehicle. 10 Starting from the plate support frame 60d, each frame extension 80d_80g is disposed adjacent to the related plate support frame 60d-60g. The frame extensions 80d-80g can slide longitudinally with the respective plate support frames 60d-60g. Each of the external misalignment assemblies 11 〇e_ 11 〇g is preferably fixed near the row 189 and separated by a knife, and supports each angle 15 degrees corresponding to the angle of the second portion 132b of the first side 132. Frame extension 80e-80g. The frame extension 80e-80g is preferably slidably arranged above its related outboard anchor assembly HOed 丨. The number of frame extensions and the number of outboard anchoring assemblies can be changed according to the characteristics of each roadside dangerous object and one or more angles related to the sides 131 and 132. In the embodiment represented by the energy absorption system 120, the frame extensions 2080d-80f may have a similar overall configuration. The frame extension 80d-80g can be described as having a generally rectangular cross-section with one or more corner posts 68a, 69a held together by one or more cross-tabs 82. However, the dimensions associated with each of the frame extensions 80d-80f may be changed to accommodate the expansion or angle formed by the second portion 132b of the second side 132. The frame extension 80f is described in more detail in FIG. 21, 200401860. One of the corner posts 68 of the frame extension can be fastened to one of the corner posts 68 of the sheet support frame 60. As shown in Fig. 19A, the width of the frame extension 80d is generally smaller than the widths of the frame extensions 80e, 80f, and 80g. When the width of the frame extension 80 is increased by 5 ′, the respective external load anchoring assemblies ll0e-ii0g can be separated from the guide 209 by an appropriate distance to the frame extension 80e-80g and related plates 16. Provide the required mechanical support. Because the width of the frame extension 80d is smaller than that of other frame extensions 80e-80g, in some cases of roadside dangerous goods installation, an external load anchoring assembly 11 may not be required for the frame extension 80d. The various characteristics of the 10 external load anchoring assembly 11 oe-11 og are shown in Figures 19A, 20, 21, 22, and 25. Each of the external load anchoring assemblies 110e-Uog preferably includes a respective base plate 112, four anchor bolts 26, and a guide plate 114. It is possible to use a web or supporting members 116, 116a to mount the guide plate 114 and the respective base plate 112. Each of the hooks 117 may be attached adjacent to the guide plate 114 outside each of the frame extensions 80e15, 80f ^ 80g. The size of each hook 117 is preferably selected so that the respective frame extensions 80e-80g slide longitudinally relative to the relevant guide plate H4. Each hook 117 cooperates with its associated guide plate 114 to prevent the relevant frame extension 80e_80g from rotating during the impact of a carrier and the side 132. The web 116a is located on the side of the web 116 opposite to the hook 117. Therefore, the outboard anchoring assembly forms a passageway for 20 receiving hooks 117, and this passageway is generally parallel to the center line 13o. The web U6a provides resistance to rotation of the outboard anchor assembly. An energy absorbing system formed in accordance with the principles of the present invention can be mounted or attached to a dagger / rotor or asphalt foundation (not explicitly shown). In some installation cases, the length of the anchor bolt 26 can be between about 7 inches (7 ,,) to about 18 忖 (18 ,,) 52 200401860 发明, description of the invention, and moving. In some applications, holes (not clearly shown) can be formed in an asphalt or mixed soil to accommodate each other! Miaogu bolts 26. Various types of adhesive materials can also be placed in the holes to pin the pins The bolt 26 is fixed in position. The misalignment screw inspection% preferably does not extend significantly on the top of the relevant nut 27. It can be used to install a concrete and asphalt anchoring part and other fasteners that use the 5-month principle here. It is available from Hilti Inc. at P · 〇 · B〇x 2U48 Tulsa, 0klahQma 74121. Each can be separated in a direction extending towards the first end of the energy absorbing system 20 A deflector or slope 136 is attached to each of the outboard anchoring assemblies u0e_10 UOg. The slope 136 extends from the mounting guide 114 to the level of the ground or the base plate 112. The deflection plate or slope 136 has a Function. If a vehicle impacts the side 132 near the external anchor assembly 110o-110g, the deflection plate 136 will prevent the wheel from directly impacting or engaging the external anchor assembly 11 Oe-110g. The slope 136 is also The first end 121 plays a role in the collision 15 and makes the energy absorber The structure collapses, as described in more detail below. When the energy absorption system 120 is configured in its first position, the frame extension 80d_80g is preferably configured next to the relevant plate support frame 60d_60g. It can be used satisfactorily Various types of mechanical fasteners such as bolts 88 are used to attach the frame extension 80d-80g and the plate support frame 60d-60g. If a carrier punch 20 hits the second side 132 adjacent to the frame extension 80d-80g The relevant momentum or kinetic energy will be transferred from the frame extension 80d-80g to the outboard anchor assembly i1oc-110g and from the respective hooks 117 to the adjacent plate support frame 60d_60f, the guide 209 and Energy absorption assembly 186. 53 200401860 玖, description of the outboard anchor assembly 110e-110g is particularly useful when the second side 132 is impacted by a higher vehicle such as a small truck. Refer to Figure 21 for the impact. Usually located on the upper right plate 160, and tends to rotate the frame extension 80f and the plate support frame 60f counterclockwise along the rails 208, 209. This rotation may transfer the poor roll effect to the impacted vehicle. Fishing ln can prevent 5 rotations, so as far as possible Reduce the rollover of the vehicle. Redirect the impacted vehicle to the road in an upright state. An energy absorption system with wing extensions formed in accordance with the principles of the present invention can be expanded from about 24 inches (24 ") wide to accommodate Any width required for a wide curbside hazard. In the embodiment represented by the energy absorption system 120, the second portion 132b of the second side 132 preferably includes a wing extension. The wing extension of the second portion 132b may be partially formed by a plurality of plate support frames or wing extension support frames 360 and a conventional W-beam barrier plate 260 such as a No. 10 guardrail. In some applications, the length of the plate 260 may vary in increments of about 28 inches (28 ") to about 280" (280 "). The plate 260 preferably extends from the relevant plate 160 for approximately 15 degrees at approximately the same degree. See Figure 20. A plate support frame labeled 360h-360m can be placed between the end points of columns 188 and 189 and an associated roadside dangerous object. See Figures 19A, 20 and 24. The plate support frame 360h-360m can be securely attached to an asphalt or concrete foundation (not explicitly shown) or otherwise securely attached in place. The number of 20-plate support frames 360 may vary depending on the width of a relevant roadside dangerous object and the distance between the roadside dangerous object and the guides 208 and 209. In some applications, the plate support frame 360h-360m can be installed in the center of about 28 inches (28 ,,). In some applications, each of the plate support frames 36 may have a portion of the boundary through the respective posts 362, the wing extension base plate 364, and the brackets or pull bars 366 200401860. Description of the invention The branches are arranged in an angular configuration. A plurality of misalignment screws can be used to firmly bond the base plate 364 and the related concrete foundation. Each column may have, for example, a cross section and dimensions related to a typical highway guardrail support column phantom beam. The base plate 364 may be formed of the same material and have a size similar to that of the cross bar 24. The brackets may also be formed from -I beams or other suitable types of highway structural materials. The energy absorbing system 120 shown in Fig. 20 may include a splicing portion 262 located between the overlapped plates · adjacent to the plate support frame 36oj. In some applications, X extensions can be provided with plates, and the length of these plates corresponds to the distance between the 160 points of the plate and a related roadside dangerous object, so the splicing portion 262 is no longer needed. In addition, the plate supporting frame 36o and the plate 26o can be pre-assembled (not clearly shown) and sent to the work site to be installed as a complete unit. A pre-assembled modular base unit and one or more pre-assembled wing extensions can be used to quickly install an energy absorption system near a roadside hazard. 15 An energy absorbing system with wing extensions can be formed in accordance with the principles of the present invention, wherein other types of support posts or support structures associated with highway guardrail safety systems are used to secure the wing extensions in place. The invention is not limited to the sheet support frame 360. The wing extension formed in accordance with the principles of the present invention can use a large push-to-shrink ratio for related roadside dangerous objects and energy absorption assemblies. As a result, 20 can significantly reduce the overall length of an associated energy absorbing system, while providing the same or higher safety for an impacted vehicle and its personnel. In some applications, a generally C-shaped passage may be attached to the plate support frame 360. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 23, the c-shaped passage 368 may be disposed between the lower plate 260 and the associated post 362. The bolt 37 can be used satisfactorily to attach 55 200401860. Description of the invention Plate 260 and associated C-shaped passage 368 and post 362. In some applications, the c-shaped channel 368 provides the required strength to allow the associated wing extension to resist surface impact. In some applications, a c-shaped channel (not shown) can also be installed between the upper plate 260 and the associated post 362. In some applications, it may be best to use an 8 "(8 '') deep via. The passage 368 preferably extends the full length of the set of plates. The plate 160 is preferably slidably coupled to the respective plate extension 80d-80g in substantially the same manner as described above for the plate support frame 60. Starting from the plate support frame 360j, the conventional trade beam 26o can be firmly attached 10 and mounted on the plate support frame 360h-360m. The number of plate support frames 36o and the number of plates 260 can be changed according to the distance between columns 188 and 189 and related roadside hazards. The respective braided joints 28 may be arranged between the plate 160 and the related braces 26o on the plate support frame 360j. If plates 160 and / or 260 are hit during a side impact, a 15-stroke vehicle will be redirected back to the adjacent road and away from the relevant curbside hazard. Depending on the position of the lateral impact, the impact of the carrier can be directly transferred from the panel i 60 to the adjacent panel support frame 60 or the panel extension 80 and then to the panel support frame 60. Since the plate 160 is usually hit at a high place, the plate support frame 60 will attempt to rotate. However, the plate support frame 60 can be prevented from rotating on the guides 208 and 209 by the protrusions or tabs 67 extending inwardly under the beam guides. Referring to FIG. 23 ', the impact of the carrier during the side impact can be directly transmitted from the w-beam plate 260 to the adjacent plate support frame 36o_36om. The plate support frame 36〇h_36〇m 56 200401860 can be prevented by the related bracket 366 and the base plate 364. Description of the invention. Both the cross bar 24 and the base plate 264 can be bent or deformed due to a lateral impact. Therefore, this system can "yield" by deforming the crossbar 24 and the base plate 3 64 during a lateral impact. Just like the collapse effect of this system in the early stage of collision, this kind of "yield" during side or side impact can reduce the deceleration force applied to the side 5 impact vehicle. System 120, 120a and 420— It is generally held in its position after a redirecting side or side impact. The schematic diagrams in Figures 24 and 25 show various characteristics of the energy absorption system 120a. The energy absorption system 120a includes a first One end 121 and a second 10 end 122c disposed adjacent to a related roadside dangerous object (not clearly shown). The first ends 121 of the energy absorption systems 120 and 120a may have approximately the same configuration and size. Energy The absorption system 12 (^ also includes a first side Ulc and a second side 132. The first side 131c can be described as having a left side expansion. The second side 132 can be described as having a right side expansion. The energy absorption system 12〇a In the representative embodiment, the first side 13 1 c and the second side 132 may have approximately the same configuration and size except for the left side expansion and the right side expansion of each of the 15 sides. Partially, the endpoints of the columns 188 and 189 The distance from a related roadside dangerous object is The second side 132 of the basic energy absorbing systems 120 and 120a may also have approximately the same configuration and size. Various components of the energy absorbing system 120a may be approximately 20 symmetrically configured with respect to the center line 13. The first side 13 lc and the second side 132 extend parallel to each other along at least a part of the associated guide rails 208 and 209. The first portion 131a of the first side 131 and the first portion 132a of the second side 132 are along each other At least a portion of the line 130 extends approximately in parallel from the first end 121. The first portion 131b of the first side 131 (: can be disposed at about the same angle relative to the first portion i3la. 57th 200401860 玖, description of the invention The second portion 132b of the two sides U2 can be disposed at about the same angle relative to the first portion U2a. When the amount absorption system 120a is in its first position, the slide hole 40 can be slidably arranged to face the approaching vehicle On the first end 121. The second end 122c of the energy absorption system 5 U0a may be arranged adjacent to a large and wide roadside dangerous object (not shown). The second end of the first side l31c 12. The second end 122b of the second side 132 may be attached to a concrete barrier or a conventional barrier system (Not clearly shown) other parts. The portion 13 of the first side 131c and the portion 132b of the second side 132 may be arranged at about the same 10 angles with respect to the longitudinal centerline 13. Immediately next to the plate The supporting frame 60c, the portion 13 1b of the first side 13 1C, and the portion 132 b of the second side 132 may be arranged at an angle of about 7 degrees (7 °) with respect to the portions 13 la and 132a. As above As described for the energy absorbing system 120, the second part 13 lb on the first side 13b preferably includes a second group of plate support frames 3600h_15 360 claws and a plurality of plates 260 firmly attached thereto . As shown in FIG. 25, the pair of side extensions 80f are preferably disposed on opposite sides of the plate support frame 60f. The relevant plate 160 can be slidably attached to the respective side extension 80f. When an impacted vehicle strikes the first end 121 of the energy absorbing system 120, 120a, the slider 40 will move and the energy absorbing assembly will engage. The 20-piece support frame 60a-60b moves along the guides 208, 209, and the attached plate 160 expands and contracts along the guide rail axis, as described above. As the skid continues to move along the guide rail, the plate support frames 60c-60f will similarly start moving sequentially along the guide rail. When the plate support frame 60c moves to the second end 122, the plate 160cc (see FIG. 19B) is stretched and retracted above the plate l60dd. 58 200401860 发明. Description of the invention The plate 160 changes its orientation with respect to the guides 208 and 209, becoming less parallel and more vertical. The coupling between the adapter plate 74 and the strap 166 causes the plate to bend and change orientation to increase the angle relative to the centerline 13 °. The sliding connection formed by the slot plate 17 (see Figure 15) allows the downstream end of the plate to be decoupled due to the first end punching 5 times to further help the plate change its orientation. The frame extensions 80d-80g are generally moved in association with the respective associated plate support frames 60d-60g. The frame extension moves in a direction generally parallel to the guides 208,209. Each of the hooks 117 (see Fig. 22) moves in association with a respective frame extension. The hook 117 moves to the second end 122 (to the right of 10 in the orientation in FIG. 22) and moves below its initial mounting guide 114. Each hook 117 is disengaged from the respective guide plate Π 4 and continues its movement, and contacts the downstream slope 136. Hook 117 rides on slope 136, lifting its associated plate extension and plate support frame. As shown in FIG. 21, there is a vertical gap between the tab 67 and the guide rails 208, 209, in which the plate support frame 60 can be slightly raised from the guide 15 so that the hook 117 can be raised on the slope 136. Referring again to FIG. 22, when the plate support frame continues to move along the guide rail, the 'hook slides along the top of the mounting guide from the slope and then falls from the trailing or downstream edge of the mounting guide 114. The hook moves further downstream and touches the next ramp and repeats the procedure. 20 As shown in Figure 19A, the external load anchoring assembly li〇e-ii〇g is further separated from the guide rail in the direction of vehicle flow. Therefore, a hook 117 (such as a hook connected to the frame extension 80e) can pass between the guide rail 209 and an outboard anchor assembly (such as the outboard anchor assembly 110g) without crossing the slope 136. The slope 136 preferably has a push-like inner edge 136a facing the guide (see FIG. 25). By 59 200401860 玖, the hook 117 of the invention can contact the inner edge 13 and be forced to go to the guide rail. The outboard anchor assembly located downstream can be sufficiently separated to avoid the hook 117 on an upstream plate from contacting the outboard anchor assembly downstream. In the example, as shown in FIG. 24, 'the hook is coupled to the plate support frame 60e, and rides on the slope on the outboard anchor assembly 110f through its associated frame 5 extension 80e, and is anchored by the outboard The assembly is between 110g. Therefore, the outboard anchoring assembly does not interfere with the nose-to-collision collapse of the system when it is operating during a lateral shock to the energy absorbing system. The push-in inner edge on the same side as the web 116a 36a is also used as a 10 visual reference to ensure that the web U6a is in the inboard position and does not interfere with the action of the hook 117 during the impact of the first end 121 . Because the portion 131b of the first side 131c and the portion 132b of the second side 132 have an angle with respect to the guidance and even an angle with respect to the direction of the traffic flow in many environments, it is necessary to strengthen the plate 160 to reduce a vehicle as much as possible. Possibility of passing 15 plates. At least one cable assembly and preferably two or more cable assemblies may be coupled to at least a portion of the first and / or second side of the skid assembly 40 and an associated energy absorption system. Each cable assembly may include one or more cables, multiple cable clamps, and multiple clamping plates. As shown in Figs. 19A and 24-28B, the first winding 501 and the first winding 502 may extend longitudinally from the plate support frame 360h to the relevant slide assembly 40 along the relevant plate 160. Various techniques, such as the cable clamp fixture 510, can be used to secure the free ends of the cables 501 and 502 to the respective posts 362 in the wing extension. See Figure 27. The first cable 5 (H may extend on the first side 131c along the plate toward the first end m (see FIG. 24) 60 200401860 发明, description of the invention. On the plate support frame 60a, the first cable 501 By diagonally extending to the position of the plate support frame 60a, it is bridged on the guides 208 and 209 to cover the upright portion on the second end 42 of the skid assembly 40 and Winding back to the wing extension on the first side. The second cable 502 follows a similar path along the second side 132 and can be wrapped around a relatively upright portion of the second end 42 of the skid assembly 40 and Diagonally extending across to a position immediately adjacent to the plate support frame 6 ^ The first line 5 01 and the second line 5 0 2 provide additional tensile support to help the respective first side 131 and the first The two sides 132 resist lateral impact. In some applications, the 'cables 501 and 502 may be about 0. 5 inch diameter cord. 10 The first cable 501 and the second cable 502 provide additional anchoring and tensile strength to allow the respective sides 13 1, 13, 1 c, and 132 to satisfactorily guide another one by about 20 degrees (20 .) The angular impact is approximately 7 degrees (7.) The vehicle with the angularly expanded sides 131, 131 (), and / or 132 sections. From a downstream position close to the plate support frame 36oh to a respective upright portion associated with the skid assembly 40, the cables 50 丨 and 502 15 can be threadedly connected to the respective plate 160 Between the post. Each of the windings 501 and 502 can then be returned to the plate supporting frame 360h through the lower part of the plate. Figures 28A and 28B show the portion of the cable 502 adjacent to the frame extension 80d. In this embodiment, the respective clamping plates 504 can be firmly attached to the associated bent plates 74. A generally U-shaped cable clamp 506 can be inserted through an opening 508 formed in each clamping plate 504 to fix a part of the cable 502 in a desired position relative to the plate 160 and the plate support frame 60c. . The cables 501, 502 are preferably coupled to the respective plate support frames 60a-60c and the frame extensions 80d-80g. The end of the cable can be coupled to the most downstream frame extension 61 200401860 发明, description of the invention, or to the roadside danger itself. The cable may also extend into the wing extension plate 260. In the energy absorbing system 420 shown in Figs. 30 and 31, it is shown that the expansion effect of the first side 431 and the second side 432 can start from the first end 121. The energy 5 absorption system 420 is another example of an energy S absorption system with asymmetric sides formed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. A plurality of split plate support frames 460a-460I can be used with the energy absorption system 420 to allow the respective sides 431 and 432 to expand at various angles and accommodate various widths as needed. The split plate support frames 46 ° and 10 460b can be slidably attached to the guide 208. The split plate support frame 460o460i can be slidably attached to the guide rail 209. The relevant dimensions and configuration of the split plate support frame 460 can be changed as needed to accommodate the angle or expansion of the respective sides 43 and 431. It is also possible to provide a separate external pin assembly for each of the divided plate support frames 460 as required. 15 You can use cables such as 501 and 502 above with energy absorption system 42. The hinge 430 couples the sides 431, 432 to the first end 121 of the energy absorption system 42. The pin hinge 430 can move the sides 431, 432 to a desired angle. For each side, the hinges are coupled to the straps 166 and to the first end uprights 41, 43 of the slide 20 assembly within the plate 160. The uprights may be corner posts, like the uprights 44, 45 on the downstream side of the skid assembly. The hinge 430 serves not only as a hinge ′ during the installation of the energy absorbing system 420 but also as a hinge during the impact of a carrier with the first end 121. When the slide-like assembly 40 moves along the guides 208 and 209, the plate 160 produces 62 200401860 玖 on each side. The angle of the invention description changes according to the hinge 430 and changes with the center line 130. The angle of each side relative to the guides 208, 209 and the opposite side can be adjusted independently by the split plate support frame. The first side 431 has a set of parallel support frames by splitting the plate support frame 'and is independent of the set of plate support frames connected to the second side 432. The split plate support frame can also be used as an alternative to the plate extensions 80 of the systems 120, 120a of Figures 19A and 24. Figure 31 shows an example of a split plate support frame that can be used with the present invention in a satisfactory manner. The split plate support frame 46oh can be slidably joined or slidably arranged on the guide rail 209 and the external load anchoring assembly. The external load stiff assembly 110h provides additional support for the split plate support frame 460h. The split plate support frame 460 may have two components 461 and 462. In some applications, each of the split plate support frames 46o may include separate first components 4 61 having the same overall dimensions and dimensions. The configuration and size of the second component 462 can be changed to accommodate the expansion or separation between the sides 431 and 432 and the respective guides 208 and 209. Each split sheet support frame 46o may include a respective post 468 having a size and overall configuration corresponding to the post 68 or 69 of the sheet support frame 60. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 31, each component 20 461h and 462h can be described as having a generally triangular cross section or configuration. As shown in Fig. 31, the split plate supporting frame 460c can be simply supported on the guide 209 and the respective outboard anchor assemblies 110h. During an impact with the side of the plate 160, the hook U7 and the outboard anchor assembly can prevent the fragmented plate support frame from moving to the guide rail 209. The external load misalignment can be engaged by the hook 117 63 200401860 玖, description of the assembly 110h and the first component 461h supported on the guide 209 to prevent the split plate support frame from rotating, and thus prevent the plate 160 from rotating. During an impact with the first end 121 of the system 420, the split plate frame is moved away from the overboard anchor assembly 110 and slides along the guide rail toward the second end 122. 5 As shown in the split plate frame 460c_460g shown in Figure 30, the split plate frame can be used without the first component 461, in which the second component is supported on the guide. The first component 461 forms an inwardly extending portion and is used on the split plate support frames 460a-460b, 460h-460i. 10 The split plate support frames 460j-460n use the first component 461 as a leg. The first module 461 extends downward to support the ground (see the dotted line in Fig. 31). The first component 461 is bolted to the bottom of the second component 462. Various configurations of the frame can be supported using split plates. Figure 30 is for demonstration purposes only. The split plate support frame supports these plates 16 and 15 to resist lateral impact by cooperating with the external load anchoring assembly 11 0, and allows the system to move along the center during an impact on the first end 121. Line 13 moves. The divergence of each side can be adjusted independently of the other sides. In Fig. 30, the side 431 has a larger divergence than the side 432. Although the invention has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the scope of the patent application.
