Supporting elements and corrugated plate assembly

Abstract

A support element and a wave plate assembly are disclosed. The support element includes two lower support walls, two extension walls, two side support walls, and an upper support wall. The lower support walls are spaced apart from each other. The extension walls extend upward from the lower support walls. The side support walls extend upward from the extension walls and are inclined towards each other. Each side support wall includes a support surface opposite to the other side support wall, and a first protrusion group and a second protrusion group protruding from the side support surface and spaced vertically from each other. The upper support wall is connected between the side support walls. Through the first protrusion group and the second protrusion group, the novel support element can better support a wave plate module disposed on the support element and can prevent the wave plates included in the wave plate module from separating relative to each other.

Claims

1. A support element comprising: two lower support walls spaced apart from each other; two extension walls extending upward from the lower support walls; two side support walls extending upward from the extension walls and inclined toward each other, each side support wall including a side support surface opposite to the other side support wall, and a first protrusion group and a second protrusion group protruding from the side support surface and spaced apart vertically from each other; and an upper support wall connected between the side support walls.

2. The support element as described in claim 1, wherein, Each of the first protrusion groups includes a first protrusion, and each first protrusion has a fan-shaped top face.

3. The support element as described in claim 2, wherein, Each of the top blocks includes a central face and two side fan faces that extend downward from the central face in opposite directions.

4. The support element as described in claim 3, wherein, The upper support wall includes an upper support surface, and each of the intermediate facets is connected to the upper support surface.

5. The support element as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein, Each of the second protrusion groups comprises two second protrusions spaced one after the other.

6. The support element as described in claim 5, wherein, The length direction of each second protrusion is in the same direction as the left and right direction, the width direction of each second protrusion is in the same direction as the up and down direction, the thickness direction of each second protrusion is in the same direction as the front and back direction, and each side support wall forms a first through hole located below each of the first protrusion groups and extending left and right, and a second through hole located below the first through hole and extending left and right.

7. A wave plate device, comprising: a support element as described in any one of claims 1 to 6; and a wave plate module including a first wave plate disposed on the upper support wall of the support element, and a second wave plate disposed on the first wave plate, the first wave plate being engaged between a first protrusion group and a second protrusion group on one of the side support walls of the support element, the second wave plate being engaged between the first protrusion group and the second protrusion group on the other side support wall of the support element, the first wave plate including a first base wall screwed onto the upper support wall, a first retaining wall spaced laterally from the first base wall and engaged between the first protrusion group and the second protrusion group on one of the side support walls, a first connecting wall connecting one side of the first base wall and the first retaining wall, a first end wall connecting the other side of the first base wall, and a first plate wall extending downward from the first retaining wall.

8. The corrugated plate device as claimed in claim 7, wherein, The first connecting wall is curved upwards, the first end wall is curved upwards, and the second wave plate includes a second base wall covering the first base wall, the first connecting wall, and the first end wall; a second locking wall connecting one side of the second base wall and locking between the first protrusion group and the second protrusion group on the other side of the supporting wall; a second end wall connecting the other side of the second base wall and locking in the first locking wall of the first wave plate; and a second plate wall extending downwards from the second locking wall.

9. The wave plate device as claimed in claim 8 further includes a clamping module comprising two clamping members arranged side-by-side and mating with each other to clamp onto the wave plate module, the clamping members being screwed together, each clamping member being disposed on the second base wall of the second wave plate and engaged in one of the first clamping wall and the second clamping wall.

10. The corrugated plate device as claimed in claim 9, wherein, The fixture module also includes a support base disposed between the fixtures.

11. The corrugated plate device as claimed in claim 7, wherein, The first end wall is located above or against one of the first protrusions of the support element.
