maintenance of the road.
However, establishing fence by the methods above has the following defects:
(1) the time for
establishing fence is relatively long, for example, when encircling the
construction site, piling
and other procedures are needed, which costs time and great effort; (2) the
transportation is
inconvenient, for example, isolation plates and other hard isolation objects
are used, the volume
of the isolation equipment is big, and the space for storing in transportation
is huge; and (3) the
plastic isolation plates are inflammable and damageable, the recycle
probability is very low, and
the abandon of the plastic isolation plates leads to environmental pollution
and wasting of
resources.

accident.
[0022] 4. Stability in installation: the mobile barrier device is
internally provided with
corresponding support uprights and support rope to prevent from drooping and
swing due to
overweight of the fence; and the bottoms of the box body and the main support
upright are
provided with the auxiliary hold-down devices, quick holding down may be
achieved without
needing to punch a hole, so as to prevent the fence from tumbling down.

placement and installation of the fence 3 and prevents the fence 3 from
drooping, and the mobile
barrier device is provided with the main upright 5, the auxiliary support
upright 7 and the rope 6.
The fence 3 and the rope 6 are wound to the rotating shaft 2 in transportation
state, and the
auxiliary support upright 7 is placed in the box body 1. The box door 12 is
opened in using, the
CA 2971354 2017-06-19

fence 3 and the rope 6 are pulled out from the fence outlet 11, the main
upright 5 is put at a far
end of the fence 3, and the fence 3 and the support rope 6 are fixed on the
main upright 5; and an
upper part of the fence 3 is connected with the rope 6 through a hook 14, and
one or a plurality of
auxiliary support uprights 7 used for supporting the rope 6 are arranged
between the box body 1
and the main t upright 5 at the far end. Wherein, the far end of the fence 3
is provided with a
connection plate 9, the fence 3 is fixed on the main upright 5 through the
connection plate 9, the
main upright 5 is made of cement to guarantee stable placement, and the rope 6
is a wire rope.
Fig. 4 is a structural diagram of the fence device in an independent using
state, and Fig. 6 is a
structural diagram of combining a plurality of fence devices for use.
[0028] In order to prevent the box body 1 and the main upright 5 from
sloping or sliding
under bigger tension of the fence 3 so as to cause loosening of the fence 3,
the bottoms of the

tail end of the
extension arm 81 is provided with a limit hook, so as to be limited in pulling
out without take off,
and the skid resistance chassis 82 is arranged on a front end of the extension
arm through the
jacking nut 83 and the tension bolt 84. The jacking nut 83 and the skid
resistance chassis 82 have
the thread in opposite direction, and move to two directions in tension. The
jacking nut 83 may
elevate an extension end of the extension arm 81, and increase the downward
pressing force of
the tail part. The skid resistance chassis 82 is closely contacted with the
ground under the
reversed pressure of the tension bolt 84. Meanwhile, the anti-skid material at
bottom may greatly
increase the resistance in cross sliding.
[0029] [Embodiment 2]
