How to Improve the Compression Resistance of Solar Road Studs?

There are basically two types of road studs installed on the road: one is a reflective road stud, and the other is a solar road stud. The biggest difference between the two road studs is that solar powered road studs can emit light by themselves using solar energy, while reflective road studs rely on external light sources to reflect light to emit light. Compared with reflective road studs, solar led road studs have higher brightness and stronger warning effects, but because solar powered road reflectors contain electronic components inside, the compressive performance of solar road studs is worse than that of ordinary road studs. So how can we improve the compressive performance of solar road studs?

The shell, raised parts, and other parts of solar powered road studs can be made of strong materials such as aluminum alloy and adopt an integrated molding process to enhance the strength of the overall structure. In the internal structure design, shock-absorbing and pressure-resistant buffer materials (such as silicone pads) are used to protect solar panels and batteries.

The surface of the solar road stud adopts an arc or streamlined design to disperse the external force to a larger area and reduce local pressure concentration. Designing some reinforcing ribs on the shell can share the pressure borne by the electronic part and further improve the compressive performance. For embedded solar powered road studs, the exposed part should be as small as possible to reduce the direct pressure from the wheels.

During the production and installation of solar road studs, it is necessary to strengthen the testing and inspection links to ensure that its compressive performance meets the relevant standards and requirements. During production, the solar led road studs are subjected to dynamic load tests and fatigue tests to ensure that they can withstand the rolling of common vehicles; in addition, extreme environments such as high temperature, low temperature, and damp heat are simulated to ensure that the materials of solar powered road reflectors maintain strength and stability under various conditions.

The installation process of solar road studs is also an important factor affecting their compressive performance. First, the road surface where the solar road studs are installed should be flat and clean to ensure that the bottom of the road stud has a large contact area with the ground and strong adhesion. Secondly, suitable glue should be used for fixing, such as epoxy resin glue, which has high strength after curing and is not easy to fall off. At the same time, the amount of glue should also be reasonable. Too little will cause the road studs to be unstable, and too much will waste glue and may affect the reflective effect. Finally, during the installation process, ensure that the glue is fully cured to improve the compression resistance of the road studs.

The compression resistance of solar led road studs is directly related to their service life. Enhancing the compression resistance of solar road studs can ensure the long-term, stable operation of solar powered road reflectors during their life cycle and provide clear road guidance for vehicles and pedestrians at night when visibility is poor.
