[0049] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other.

[0050] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are intended to explain the present invention rather than to limit it.

[0051] See also Figure 1 A scaffolding connection assembly includes a crossbar connection head 4, a wedge block 3 and a crank arm 6.

[0052] One end of the crossbar connector 4 is used to connect with the end of the crossbar, and the other end of the crossbar connector 4 is formed with a plug-in portion 43 extending downward, and the crossbar connector 4 is formed with a wedge hole 41 for installing the wedge block 3;

[0053] The crank arm 6 includes two cantilevers set at an angle, and a accommodating cavity is set inside the cross bar connector 4. The crank arm 6 is set in the accommodating cavity and can rotate along the inflection point. One cantilever extends out of the accommodating cavity and is located on one side of the plug-in portion 43. The wedge block 3 is located between the plug-in portion 43 and the crank arm. When the wedge block moves along the first direction of the wedge hole, the cantilever is driven to rotate so that the cantilever is clamped with the disc fastener 5.

[0054] The above-mentioned scaffolding connection assembly uses the expansion principle to apply tension to the plug-in part and the socket of the disc fastener, so that the two form a stable connection node. At the same time, the crank arm can rotate around the turning point to form a lever effect, and the lever effect is used to locate the position of the wedge block to achieve rapid assembly and disassembly of the connection node.

[0055] When installing the scaffolding connection assembly, the plug-in portion 43 and the cantilever outside the accommodating cavity are extended into the socket of the disc fastener 5, and an external force is applied to the wedge block 3 to make it move in a first direction, that is, the direction in which the wedge block moves downward along the wedge hole. The movement of the wedge block 3 along the wedge hole drives the crank arm to rotate along the inflection point, and generates a tensioning force on the cantilever and the plug-in portion located in the socket, so that the cantilever is engaged with the socket of the disc fastener, thereby realizing rapid installation of the crossbar and the vertical pole. During the disassembly process, a reverse force is applied to the wedge block to make it move in the opposite direction of the first direction (upward), the tensioning force in the slot area disappears, and the crank arm can rotate in the opposite direction along the inflection point, thereby realizing rapid assembly and disassembly of the crossbar and the vertical pole.

[0056] See also Figure 7 and 8 The above-mentioned crank arm 6 includes a first cantilever 62 and a second cantilever 64 arranged in an L shape. The first cantilever is located in the accommodating cavity of the cross bar connector 4, and the second cantilever 64 is located on one side of the plug-in portion. The connecting end of the first cantilever 62 and the second cantilever 64 is an inflection point. An axial hole 63 is provided at the inflection point of the crank arm, and a rotating shaft is installed in the axial hole. The crank arm 6 is rotatably connected to the cross bar connector 4 through the rotating shaft.

[0057] An elastic component 7 is provided at the free end of the first cantilever and is located in the accommodating cavity of the cross bar connector 4. The bottom surface of the first cantilever is a positioning surface 67, and the inner wall of the second cantilever 64 is a locking surface 68. The positioning surface 67 and the locking surface 68 are located on the same side of the crank arm and are connected by an arc transition surface. The outer wall of the second cantilever 64 is a wedge surface 66, and the wedge surface 66 cooperates with the wedge block. When the wedge block moves, the driving force generated is applied to the wedge surface, causing the crank arm to rotate around the inflection point, and the second cantilever rotates toward the edge of the disc fastener. During the rotation process, the elastic component 7 is compressed until the locking surface 68 of the second cantilever abuts against the side wall of the socket of the disc fastener, thereby realizing the clamping connection between the crank arm and the disc fastener. When disassembling, the wedge block moves in the opposite direction. Under the action of the elastic component and the gravity of the wedge block itself, the crank arm rotates in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the rapid separation of the plug-in part and the disc fastener.

[0058] The elastic component 7 is a spring, which is vertically arranged at the free end of the first cantilever. The upper end of the spring is higher than the top surface of the first cantilever. The upper end of the spring abuts against the inner top surface of the accommodating cavity and is in a pre-stressed state. When the second cantilever is engaged with the socket of the disc fastener, the spring is compressed. When the wedge block moves in the opposite direction, the spring resets and drives the crank arm to move in the opposite direction. When the positioning surface 46 of the first cantilever contacts the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity, the crank arm stops rotating, releasing the locking state of the second cantilever and the socket, thereby realizing the rapid disassembly of the quick cross bar connector 4 and the disc fastener.

[0059] A fixing portion 61 is provided at the end of the first cantilever, a positioning rod is provided on the fixing portion, the spring is sleeved on the positioning rod, the positioning rod guides the compression state of the spring, and in this embodiment, the fixing portion is a rectangular structure.

[0060] In another embodiment, a spring hole is provided in the fixing portion, and the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected in the spring hole. The spring and the spring hole are fixedly connected by welding, riveting or interference fitting.

[0061] The elastic component should be understood as any elastic force-applying body, such as elastic rubber.

[0062] In another embodiment, the weight of the first cantilever is greater than that of the second cantilever. When the wedge block moves in the reverse direction, due to the greater weight of the first cantilever, the crank arm is driven to move in the reverse direction under the action of gravity, thereby releasing the locking state of the plug-in part and the socket, and realizing the rapid disassembly of the cross bar connector 4 and the disc fastener.

[0063] The lower end of the locking surface 68 is provided with a snap-on portion 69 protruding toward one side of the cross bar. When the second cantilever rotates and makes the locking surface 68 abut against the side wall of the socket, the snap-on portion 69 is located on the bottom surface of the disc fastener and forms an upper and lower positioning effect with the disc fastener, thereby preventing the scaffolding connection assembly from being separated from the disc fastener as a whole, thereby improving the stability of the scaffolding connection.

[0064] See also Figure 5 and 6 The crossbar connector 4 includes an end joint 40 and a plug-in portion 43. One end of the end joint is an open structure, and its open end is fixedly connected to the end of the crossbar. The plug-in portion 43 is located at the lower part of the other end of the end joint. An end of the plug-in portion away from the crossbar is formed with a fitting portion 42 that cooperates with the vertical rod, and an arc-shaped fitting surface that cooperates with the vertical rod is formed on the fitting portion. The wedge hole 41 vertically penetrates the end joint and the plug-in portion 43, and forms a receiving groove with an opening on one side of the plug-in portion 43, and the receiving groove is connected to the receiving cavity. A coaxial pin hole 44 is formed on the side wall of the end joint, and the shaft hole 63 of the crank arm and the pin hole 44 are connected by a rotating shaft. The first cantilever is located in the receiving cavity, and the second cantilever is located on the open side of the receiving groove. The wedge block is mounted in the wedge hole, and the lower end of the wedge block is located in the receiving groove. When the wedge block moves downward along the receiving groove, it can achieve a push effect on the wedge surface 66 of the second cantilever, so that it rotates along the rotating shaft, thereby realizing the clamping of the plug-in portion and the socket.

[0065] In this embodiment, the end joint is welded to the cross bar 2 as a whole. In other embodiments, the end joint can be connected to the cross bar 2 in other ways, such as by bolts, or by pinning to form a fixed connection.

[0066] See also Fig. 9The wedge block can be vertically movably arranged in the wedge hole 41. A first inclined surface 33 and a second inclined surface 35 are formed on the side wall of the wedge block close to the cross bar. The second inclined surface 35 is located at the upper part of the first inclined surface 33. The first inclined surface 33 and the second inclined surface 35 have the same angle with the vertical direction. The first inclined surface 33 and the second inclined surface 35 are in different planes. The upper end of the first inclined surface 33 and the lower end of the second inclined surface 35 are connected by a circular arc transition surface 34. The first inclined surface 33 and the wedge surface 66 are slidably matched.

[0067] When the wedge block 3 moves vertically downward in the wedge hole 41, the first inclined surface 33 pushes the wedge surface 66, driving the second cantilever of the crank arm to rotate toward the edge of the disc fastener. The tensioning force generated on the cantilever and the plug-in part during the movement of the wedge block causes the second cantilever to be clamped in the plug hole of the disc fastener.

[0068] The lower end of the wedge block has a stopper 30, and the stopper 30 and the lower end of the first inclined surface form a stopper 32. The stopper 32 is located below the second cantilever. The stopper 32 is used to limit the moving position of the wedge block when the cross bar connector and the disc fastener are separated, so as to prevent the wedge block from being separated from the wedge hole. Specifically, during the disassembly operation, an upward force is applied to the wedge block to move it upward. During its movement, the crank arm rotates counterclockwise under the action of gravity and elastic force, and the wedge surface of the crank arm always maintains sliding contact with the first inclined surface. When the stopper surface 65 at the lower end of the second cantilever contacts the stopper 32, the crank arm stops rotating. At the same time, the stopper surface 65 limits the moving direction of the wedge block through the stopper 32, so as to prevent the wedge block from being separated from the upper end of the wedge hole due to misoperation. It should be noted that the structural size of the resisting part 30 is smaller than the size of the wedge hole to avoid the problem of being unable to assemble. A rivet hole 31 is provided on the resisting part 30, and a rivet is provided in the rivet hole 31 to avoid the wedge falling off from the cross bar connector due to human interference.

[0069] The upper end of the wedge block is provided with a stopper 36, the size of which is larger than the upper end size of the wedge hole, to avoid excessive external force applied to the wedge block during installation, causing the wedge block to deform and fall off from the lower end of the wedge hole.

[0070] In this embodiment, the two sides of the anti-slip part are flush with the two sides of the wedge block, and the side of the anti-slip part close to the cross bar extends horizontally, so that the horizontal width of the anti-slip part is greater than the size of the wedge hole in the corresponding direction. When the external force is too large, the wedge block moves downward, and the anti-slip part is stuck at the mouth of the wedge hole to prevent the wedge block from entering the wedge hole as a whole under the action of the external force. A convex structure can also be provided on both sides of the wedge block, so that the thickness of the anti-slip part is greater than the width of the wedge hole, thereby preventing the wedge block from falling off from the lower end of the wedge hole.

[0071] When the cross bar connector and the disc fastener are separated, an upward force is applied to the wedge block, and the wedge block moves upward along the wedge hole. At this time, the spring of the first cantilever is reset, and under the action of the spring force, the second cantilever rotates toward the wedge block, and the clamping action between the second cantilever and the jack is released. At the same time, the wedge surface of the second cantilever always remains in contact under the action of the spring force. When the wedge block continues to move upward, the stop platform 32 abuts against the lower end of the second cantilever, forming a limit for the wedge block to prevent it from continuing to move and separating from the wedge hole. A stop surface 65 is provided at the lower end of the second cantilever, and the stop surface 65 contacts the stop platform 32 to form a vertical positioning for the wedge block.

[0072] The disc fastener 5 includes a disc body and a vertical rod hole 51 formed in the center thereof. A plurality of insertion holes are evenly distributed on the circumference of the disc body. The insertion hole 52 is connected with the vertical rod hole 51. The vertical rod 1 is passed through the vertical rod hole 51 and welded to the disc body 31. The side wall of the insertion hole close to the edge of the disc body is a locking wall 53 that cooperates with the locking surface of the second cantilever. When the wedge block moves downward along the wedge hole, the first inclined surface 33 drives the inclined surface 66 of the crank arm to rotate the second cantilever. When the locking surface 68 contacts and abuts the locking wall 53, the cross bar connector 4 is clamped with the disc fastener.

[0073] In this embodiment, four sockets are provided on the disc body, and the four sockets and the vertical pole holes form a cross hole. The four sockets 52 can match and connect four scaffolding connection components to achieve four cross bars 2 set up around the vertical pole 10 with the vertical pole 10 as the reference line.

[0074] The following is a detailed description of the quick assembly and disassembly process of the scaffolding connection assembly provided by the present invention and the replacement process of the wedge block.

[0075] See also Figure 2 The end of the cross bar connector is fixedly connected to the end of the cross bar, the wedge block is installed in the wedge hole of the cross bar connector, the crank arm is set in the cross bar connector and rotates along the inflection point to form a lever effect. The crank arm uses the lever effect to position the wedge surface at its end to the initial position of the wedge block. At this time, the wedge block is in a stable state. The initial position of the wedge block is the position of the wedge block in the wedge hole when the abutment surface 65 of the crank arm is in contact with the wedge abutment platform.

[0076] When assembling the scaffolding, the end of the crossbar connector is fixedly connected to the end of the crossbar, and the plug-in portion 43 of the crossbar connector and the second cantilever are inserted into the socket 52 of the disc fastener. At the same time, the wedge block is also in a predetermined installation position to achieve preliminary positioning. At this time, the spring is in a pre-stressed state, the limiting surface 67 of the first cantilever contacts the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity of the end joint 40, and the wedge surface 66 of the second cantilever contacts the first inclined surface 33 of the wedge block. Compared with the existing straight-insert disc buckle method of first installing the rod end joint and then installing the pin, the scaffolding connection assembly of the present invention has a wedge block located in the wedge hole so that the two form an integral structure. The wedge block can be pre-installed during the process of inserting the end joint into the disc buckle, thereby improving the installation efficiency. Moreover, the scaffolding connection assembly of the present invention can be operated by one person, while the existing straight-insert disc buckle requires two people to cooperate in installation to improve safety, or a single person needs to hold the crossbar with one hand and move the pin with the other hand for installation. This installation method greatly increases the risk of high-altitude installation and also reduces the installation efficiency. Therefore, the scaffolding connection assembly of the present invention reduces the difficulty of installation and reduces labor costs.

[0077] participate Figure 3 After the cross bar connector is connected to the disc fastener, a downward external force is applied to the upper end of the wedge block 3 by hammering or mechanical pressure, so that the wedge block moves downward along the wedge hole. During the movement of the wedge block, the first inclined surface 33 slides along the wedge surface and drives the second cantilever 64 to move toward the locking wall 53 side of the socket. When the locking surface 68 of the second cantilever 64 abuts against the locking wall 53 of the socket, the locking between the disc fastener 5 and the cross bar 2 is completed, so that the cross bar 2 and the vertical pole 1 have a stable connection relationship, solving the problem of safety hazards.

[0078] When disassembling the crossbar and the vertical bar, an upward thrust is applied to the lower end of the wedge block by hammering or mechanical pressure, so that the wedge block 3 moves upward to cancel the tension between the second cantilever and the plug-in part. The wedge block 3 moves upward and the spring is reset. Under the action of the elastic force, the crank arm rotates in the opposite direction, and the locking surface 68 of the second cantilever 64 is separated from the locking wall 53 of the socket, thereby creating a space between the two, so that the second cantilever can withdraw from the socket of the disc fastener. At the same time, the second cantilever is always in sliding contact with the first inclined surface of the wedge block during the rotation process. When the abutting surface at the lower end of the second cantilever and the abutting platform of the wedge block are in contact with each other, under the action of the elastic force, the crank arm forms a lever to position the wedge block, thereby preventing the wedge block from falling under the action of gravity and locking the plug-in part and the socket again, thereby realizing the scaffolding connection assembly. Quick detachment from the disc fastener 5; secondly, the abutment surface of the second cantilever forms a vertical positioning for the wedge block, avoiding the separation of the wedge block and the cross bar connector during the disassembly process, solving the problem of the easy loss of the pin of the existing straight-insertion type disc buckle; in addition, compared with the single-person disassembly method of the existing straight-insertion type disc buckle, it is necessary to hold the cross bar with one hand and hammer the pin with the other hand. Since the scaffolding installation and disassembly belongs to high-altitude work, safety accidents are very likely to occur when working with both hands and the disassembly efficiency is low, and the pin is very likely to fall from a high altitude under the action of gravity hammering, which also poses a safety hazard to the staff below. The crank arm of the scaffolding connection assembly of the present invention positions the wedge block through the lever action, which well solves the problem of the wedge block falling off during the disassembly process, while improving the disassembly efficiency and the safety of scaffolding disassembly, and reducing the disassembly cost.

[0079] See also Fig.10 Because the first inclined surface of the wedge block is worn out during repeated use and cannot exert effective thrust on the second cantilever, it needs to be replaced. During replacement, the crank arm is rotated manually and the spring is compressed until the wedge surface is in a vertical state and the abutment surface 65 is misaligned with the abutment platform in the horizontal direction. At this time, the abutment surface 65 is misaligned with the abutment platform in the vertical direction. The wedge block is disassembled from the upper end of the wedge hole and separated from the cross bar connector, and a new wedge block is installed to complete the replacement of the wedge block.

[0080] The present invention also protects a scaffolding, comprising uprights 1, cross bars 2, disc fasteners 5 and scaffolding connection components, wherein the disc fasteners 5 are fixedly sleeved on the uprights 1, and the ends of the cross bars are connected to the scaffolding connection components. When the scaffolding is spliced, the plug-in portion of the scaffolding connection components is inserted into the disc fasteners 5 and locked.

Any changes made on the basis of the technical solution in accordance with the technical idea proposed by the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
