What is road blocker?
Road blocker is a kind of traffic security equipment used to restrict the passage of vehicles and pedestrians. With good characteristics such as anti-collision, anti-terrorism, anti-rust, corrosion resistance, and long service life. It is mainly composed of a high-strength barrier section and auxiliary hard stab. When the tire is pressed against the stainless steel nail on the automatic road blocker, the gas in the tire will leak out from the inner hole of the needle to effectively intercept the vehicle. The automatic road blocker adopts hydraulic driving technology for mandatory interception, with strong load-bearing and collision resistance, and simple and flexible operation.
Hydraulic road blockers are usually used to prevent entry into prohibited areas or slow down traffic flow. The hydraulic rising road blocker can change traffic behavior through physical isolation, achieve road safety control, and make road traffic safer and more orderly.
The hydraulic rising road blocker is also a vehicle control device designed for entrances and exits of highways, urban roads, etc. This equipment adopts advanced hydraulic technology, which can quickly lift and lower roadblocks, achieving control over the passage of vehicles.
In essence, the hydraulic road blocker is an efficient, stable, environmentally friendly, and safe vehicle control solution that can play an important role on various occasions and has broad application prospects. The hydraulic rising road blocker is a very useful road protection device that can help urban management departments better manage and control traffic, ensure the safety of people’s lives and property, and promote the development of urban transportation.
Component:
Hydraulic road blocker machine plays a very important role in road traffic and can be used on many special occasions. It can effectively prevent vehicles from forcibly reloading checkpoints. So what are the components of the automatic road blocker system?
The hydraulic road blocker is composed of three parts: the main frame, the hydraulic power system, and the electrical control system. The overall construction material of the hydraulic road blocker is welded from standard mold steel plates, so it has strong load-bearing and collision resistance.
Moreover, there are no electrical appliances or wiring settings inside the roadblock machine, so it can operate safely and stably during use. Among them, the bracket and anti-collision plate are the main components supporting the entire equipment, the flip plate is the core component to achieve the function of the roadblock machine, and the driving mechanism and hydraulic pump station are important components to achieve the power and motion control of the roadblock. The hydraulic cylinder is the core component in the operation of the equipment, driving the flip plate to lift and lower, achieving vehicle limitation.
1. The main frame of the hydraulic road blocker consists of a frame, a movable flap, a hydraulic cylinder, and two sets of balancing mechanisms. The movable flip board is connected to the frame through two sets of rotating shafts, and the upper and lower earrings of the hydraulic cylinder are respectively connected between the frame and the movable flip board through the rotating shafts, serving as the power source for the movement of the main frame. The two sets of balancing mechanisms are connected between the movable flip board and the frame, playing a role in load balancing and buffering.
The whole machine is made of steel structure, welded with steel plate and channel steel, with a strong anti-collision ability and load-bearing ability. There are no electrical appliances and lines in the mainframe, which can achieve the waterproof effect and safe use.
2. Hydraulic system:
The hydraulic system consists of a drive motor, hydraulic oil pump, combined solenoid valve, manual control valve, pressure indicator, etc.
The hydraulic transmission station mainly changes the rising and falling speed through the oil tank and manual oil pump valve). In case of power failure, the baffle can be lowered manually or raised manually.
3. Electric control system: automatic electronic control part, control motherboard, and automatic controller: including control box, remote controller, and manual button, which are controlled and used by the personnel on duty.
The above content introduces the components of the hydraulic road blocker system, which fully reflects its role.
4. Interface function description:
Ascending and descending input: command control input interface for the ascending and descending of roadblock machine; The precise time of raising limit and lowering the limit is adjustable: through the limit time, the service life of the roadblock machine is prevented from being affected by the long-term operation of the roadblock machine in the blocked state;
Ascending solenoid valve and descending solenoid valve: switch and close the oil circuit solenoid valve of the hydraulic pump of the roadblock machine, so as to realize the functions of ascending, descending, and stopping the operation of the roadblock machine; Raise and lower regulating valves to regulate the rising and falling speed.
Working principle:
The automatic road blocker machine takes hydraulic energy as the power to realize the lifting function of the turnover body. The working principle of the automatic road blocker is:
The working principle of the hydraulic road blocker is to drive the hydraulic pump station through the driving mechanism to rotate the flipper driven by the oil hydraulic cylinder, thereby preventing the vehicle from going backward. When the hydraulic pump station receives a control signal, the oil hydraulic cylinder will rotate the flap to the specified angle. When the vehicle passes in the forward direction, it will automatically rise, and after leaving, the flap will automatically lower.

Maintenance precautions:
There are some details you need to know in the process of maintaining the hydraulic road blocker. What do these details mainly include? I’ll take you to know more about this problem.
1. In the process of electrical maintenance, the relevant power supply shall be cut off in time, and signs such as maintenance and overhaul shall be hung on obvious positions.
2. Check the working condition of switches, buttons, indicator lights, and buzzers once a month.
3. When there are vehicles or pedestrians above the turnover barrier machine, lift it strictly to avoid harm.
4. Keep the drainage at the bottom of the turnover barrier body unblocked and the surroundings clean to ensure the service life, performance, and waterproof tightness of the lifting barrier machine parts.
5. During the operation of anti-terrorism automatic road blockers, prevent continuous rise and landing. Rising and falling are not suitable for continuous fast switching, which is easy to shorten the service life of the motor and hydraulic pumps.
6. On large ice and snow days, if there is serious ice inside the pile body of the roadblock machine, stop lifting and use it after freezing by heating and other methods.
7. Regularly check the oil level in the oil tank of the anti-collision road blocker. If the oil level is lower than the bottom line, add oil; If the oil becomes dark and turbid, you need to consider changing the oil.
Whether the road blocker is worn?
Next, let’s introduce the method to judge whether the anti-collision road blocker is worn.
Road blocker is a traffic security facility with good characteristics, such as anti-collision, anti-terrorism, anti-rust, corrosion resistance, long service life, etc. It is widely used in government units, nuclear power plants, and other places. The anti-collision roadblock machine can be used together with automatic rising bollards and parking barrier gates or used alone. It is mainly composed of a mainframe, hydraulic transmission station, and electric control system.
However, when using the anti-collision road blocker machine in life, there may be different degrees of wear. If the hydraulic anti-terrorism road blocker machine has the function of machinery, it will collide, and the collision will inevitably wear. How many manifestations of the wear of the anti-collision road blocker machine? Let’s take a look:
1. There are three periods of wear of the anti-collision road blocker machine. The running-in period: due to the rough surface of the conflicting pair and the slight error during installation, the flatness of the conflicting pair is poor, the normal load is large and the wear is fast, which also depends on the situation of the conflicting pair itself.
2. During the normal wear period, if the collision pair cooperates normally, wears normally, and has the minimum wear and collision, the operation time of the anti-collision road blocker machine will be long. If the wear reaches a certain degree, it will enter the limit wear period, and the wear will increase at this time.
3. If the anti-collision automatic road blocker machine has the function of machinery, there will be a collision. If there is a collision, there will be wear. There is a rule of wear: that is, the volume wear is directly proportional to the relative sliding interval of the collision pair; The yield strength proportional to the normal load is inversely proportional to the hardness.
On the basis of theory, it is proved by experiments that the correlation between wear rate and impact element is very small. Generally, there is a level difference between impact elements, and there will be three levels of difference in wear rate. Therefore, the change of impact coefficient is not fixed.
