Description

Robinia post for timber fence The present invention relates to a fence post, and more specifically, to a Robinia post for a wooden fence that includes an upper cover and a lower cover to prevent water ingress through the top and bottom, thereby preventing damage caused by water ingress, and also includes a lamp to ensure clear identification and visibility at night through the light emitted by the lamp. If the outer perimeter of a zone is opened, outsiders may enter, which could compromise security. For this reason, walls are constructed by stacking concrete blocks or similar materials to form boundaries around the outer perimeter of the area, thereby controlling access by outsiders. However, walls made of concrete blocks and similar materials presented a problem in that external visibility from within the area was impossible. Furthermore, as they were artificial, they failed to harmonize with the surrounding natural environment, resulting in a significant sense of incongruity. To resolve such problems, there is an increasing number of cases where fences are constructed to define the boundaries of an area. A fence is formed by connecting multiple horizontal bars at vertical intervals between one of the vertically extending posts. Since the space between the upper and lower bars is open, it is easy to check the outside from within the area. Furthermore, as disclosed in Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2600546, etc., since the posts and bars are made of wood, they can easily harmonize with the surrounding natural environment due to the characteristics of the material, thereby reducing the sense of incongruity. However, the wooden posts forming the fence had a problem of being easily damaged due to water inflow through the top and bottom sections—that is, rainwater entering through the top section exposed to the outside or groundwater entering through the bottom section buried underground. In addition, the wooden posts forming the fence were difficult to identify at night, posing a problem that could potentially lead to collisions with pedestrians or vehicles. For the reasons mentioned above, attempts are being made in this field to develop wooden fence posts that not only prevent damage caused by water ingress through the exposed upper surface and the lower part buried underground, but also ensure clear visibility of the surroundings and identification at night; however, satisfactory results have not been achieved to date. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a Robinia post for a wooden fence according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a unidirectional cross-sectional view of a Robinia post for a wooden fence according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is an example diagram showing the blocking of rainwater inflow through the upper cover in a Robinia support for a wooden fence according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is an example diagram showing the blockage of water inflow into the ground through the lower cover in a Robinia support for a wooden fence according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is an example diagram showing lamp light emission from a Robinia support for a wooden fence according to the present invention. FIG. 6 is an example diagram showing a fence installation form using a Robinia post for a wooden fence according to the present invention. FIG. 7 is an example diagram showing another type of fence installation using a Robinia post for a wooden fence according to the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a Robinia post (A) for a wooden fence (100) according to the present invention comprises: a main body (10); a connecting member (20); an upper cover (30); and a lower cover (40). The main body (10) of the present invention is a robinia log, consisting only of heartwood from which the sapwood has been removed. The main body (10) of this type is provided in multiple numbers and installed so as to be spaced apart on the ground and connected in a vertical direction, thereby supporting the crossbar (110) through one of them and the other. At this time, the main body (10) may include a first through hole (11) extending in the longitudinal direction; a plurality of second through holes (12) formed at different points on the outer surface and communicating with the first through hole (11); and a lamp (13) mounted on each of the second through holes (12). Therefore, the cable (14) flowing into the first through hole (11) passes through the second through hole (12) and is connected to each lamp (13), so that each lamp (13) can emit light by supplying power through the cable (14). Meanwhile, the Robinia wood forming the main body (10) is domestic acacia wood, so domestic acacia wood can be utilized. The connecting member (20) of the present invention is disposed on the upper surface of the main body (10) to provide a flat surface. Therefore, by attaching the upper cover (30) to the connecting m
