Description

Field of the invention

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gate processing, in particular a gate and its top strut. State of the art

[0002] With the rise of modern living standards, more and more people are attaching importance to the design of their homes. Artificial iron gates are increasingly being used in their design. Artificial iron gates boast both good appearance and good strength. Therefore, they are increasingly being used as front doors in residential spaces. They not only provide sufficient aesthetics but can also enhance the overall architectural beauty of the house. The crossbars of the artificial iron gates currently on the market usually have a square tube structure. During processing, the square tube must be manually cut to the required length. Then, the square tube is bent into shape using special equipment.During the bending process, elastic deformation occurs, which makes the bent square tube have a relatively large machining error compared with other bent square tube, so that the overall aesthetics of the gates are affected and the scrap rate is increased. Object of the invention

[0003] Due to the above problems, the invention provides a gate and its top stay, wherein the main plate, the first side plate and the second side plate are each machined in advance into an arc or curve shape of the required size, after which one side of the main plate is detachably connected to the first side plate by the first projections and the first grooves and the other side of the main plate is detachably connected to the second side plate by the second projections and the second grooves, thereby reducing the machining errors and increasing the yield.

[0004] The technical solution of the invention is as follows: a gate top strut comprising a main plate, a first side plate and a second side plate which are arcuate, the main plate having first projections on one side and second projections on the other side, the first side plate being provided with first grooves for the first projections, the second side plate being provided with second grooves for the second projections.

[0005] Optionally, the invention further comprises a first cap and a second cap, wherein one side of the first cap is detachably connected to one end of the first side plate and the other side of the first cap is detachably connected to one end of the second side plate, wherein one side of the second cap is detachably connected to the other end of the first side plate and the other side of the second cap is detachably connected to the other end of the second side plate.

[0006] Optionally, the first cap is provided with a third groove on one side and a fourth groove on the other side, and the second cap is provided with a fifth groove on one side and a sixth groove on the other side, wherein the first side plate is provided with a third projection at one end for the third groove and a fourth projection at the other end for the fifth groove, and wherein the second side plate is provided with a fifth projection at one end for the fourth groove and a sixth projection at the other end for the sixth groove.

[0007] Optionally, the main plate is provided with a plurality of through holes for the gate plate, wherein the plurality of through holes are spaced apart along the length direction of the main plate.

[0008] Optionally, the first grooves and the second grooves are located in the middle of the first side plate and the second side plate, that is, when the main board, the first side plate and the second side plate are assembled, they form a cross section with an H shape, which can easily keep the curvature of the main board.

[0009] Optionally, the main plate is in the shape of a sheet and is thus flexible, allowing it to be bent at any angle without machining, forming a structure with one or more bends. The bending directions of the multiple bends can be different, for example: S-shape, wave shape, etc. However, when using the existing method for bending the square tube as needed, often only one bending direction is possible, for example, a semicircle. If a shape such as an S-shape with multiple bends is manufactured, the raw material is easily broken. Optionally, the first side plate and the second side plate are also in the shape of sheets, and their shapes are designed according to requirements. In another possible embodiment, the main plate can also be a slightly thicker plate that can be bent into an arc or curve shape of the required size as needed.

[0010] The invention further relates to a gate comprising a first post, a second post, a lower strut, a gate plate and a top strut, wherein one end of the lower strut and the first cap are connected to the first post via screws, wherein the other end of the lower strut and the second cap are detachably connected to the second post via screws, wherein the top of the gate plate is detachably connected to the main plate, and wherein the bottom of the gate plate is detachably connected to the bottom strut.

[0011] Optionally, the first post has first through-openings on the side facing the second post and the second post has first through-openings on the side facing the first post, in each of which a connecting block is provided, wherein the first cap and the second cap are connected to the connecting blocks by screws.

[0012] Optionally, the side walls of the first post and the second post are provided with second through-openings for the passage of the connecting block, wherein the first through-opening and the second through-opening communicate, wherein the first through-opening has an inlet opening, a receiving space and an outlet opening which communicate, wherein the connecting block is accommodated in the receiving space, and wherein the diameter of the inlet opening and the diameter of the outlet opening are smaller than the diameter of the receiving space.

[0013] Optionally, the gate further comprises plugs, each having a connecting portion and a limiting portion connected to the connecting portion, wherein the connecting portion is inserted into the inlet opening, wherein the diameter of the limiting portion is larger than the diameter of the inlet opening, wherein the connecting portion is provided with a hook, and wherein the hook is hooked into the receiving space.

[0014] The advantages of the invention are as follows: The main plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate are each machined in advance into an arc or curve shape of the required size. Then, one side of the main plate is detachably connected to the first side plate by the first projections and first grooves. The other side of the main plate is detachably connected to the second side plate by the second projections and second grooves, thereby facilitating assembly. After the top stay is assembled, the joints of the first projections and first grooves, as well as the second projections and second grooves, are welded to reduce machining errors and increase yield. Since the gate top stay consists of only a main plate, a first side plate, and a second side plate, the traditional square tube structure is replaced, simplifying the structure and reducing the overall weight of the gate.
