Steel structures are naturally prefabricated structures, and therefore are widely used in construction. During the construction of prefabricated buildings, several steel structure panels need to be connected together. Currently, prefabricated steel structure panels are usually fixed together by adding connecting blocks and welding them. This connection and fixing method has certain drawbacks. First, it is inconvenient for users to disassemble and install the panels, reducing installation efficiency and making it difficult to control construction quality. Second, welded joints leave seams on the panels, affecting the overall aesthetics of the building. Summary of the Invention

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a steel structure wall panel connection device in this embodiment includes a support frame 1, an adjustment mechanism 2, a connecting plate 3, an outer baffle 4, and an outer wall panel 5. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 1 is a hollow cuboid column structure, including a support frame body 11 and a sealing plate 13. One side of the support frame body 11 is an open structure with an opening. The support frame body 11 is provided with a slot 12 that matches the sealing plate 13. The sealing plate 13 is installed on the support frame body 11 through the slot 12 and covers the opening.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, four adjustment mechanisms 2 are disposed inside the support frame 1. The support frame body 11 has a moving groove 14 on the side adjacent to the opening. The support frame body 11 is provided with a lower fixed plate 16 and an upper fixed plate 15 located on the upper and lower sides of the moving groove 14. The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a moving frame 21 and a longitudinal adjustment screw 22. The longitudinal adjustment screw 22 passes through the lower fixed plate 16 and the moving frame 21 in sequence and abuts against the lower surface of the upper fixed plate 15.

[0030] The connecting plate 3 includes a connecting plate body 31, a connecting rod 32, a sliding block 38, and an auxiliary fixing block 39. The connecting rod 32 is connected to the connecting plate body 31 and passes through the moving groove 14 to connect to the moving frame 21. By rotating the longitudinal adjusting screw 22, the moving frame 21, the connecting rod 32, and the connecting plate body 31 connected to the connecting rod 32 are driven to move up and down along the moving groove 14. Figure 6 As shown, the upper part of the connecting plate body 31 is a positioning block with a trapezoidal cross-section. Eight symmetrically arranged auxiliary fixing holes 36 are formed on both sides of the positioning block, and the shape of the auxiliary fixing holes 36 matches that of the auxiliary fixing block 39. A reset groove 37 communicating with the auxiliary fixing holes 36 is formed inside the connecting plate body 31. An inwardly recessed structure 34 is formed inside the connecting plate body 31 from the bottom upwards, and a sliding groove 35 communicating with the inwardly recessed structure 34 is provided. Figures 7 to 11As shown, one end of the auxiliary fixing block 39 is connected to the reset plate 310, one end of the reset plate 310 is connected to the reset spring 311, and the other end of the reset spring 311 is fixed to the side of the reset groove 37. The auxiliary fixing block 39 is installed in the auxiliary fixing hole 36, and the sliding block 38 is installed in the sliding groove 35. The top of the sliding block 38 is provided with a connecting spring 313, and the other end of the connecting spring 313 is connected to the connecting plate body 31. The bottom surface of the sliding block 38 is located inside the concave structure 34. The side of the sliding block 38 that contacts the auxiliary fixing block 39 is provided with a pressing slope 314. Each sliding block 38 has four pressing slopes 314 on its upper part. The auxiliary fixing block 39 is also provided with a slope parallel to the pressing slope 314. The four pressing slopes 314 contact the four auxiliary fixing blocks 39 respectively. Each connecting plate 3 is provided with two symmetrically arranged sliding blocks 38 and eight auxiliary fixing blocks 39. The sides of the two sliding blocks 38 abut against each other. The outer side of each auxiliary fixing block 39 is also provided with an anti-slip groove 312.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer baffle 4 includes an outer baffle body 41, a lateral adjusting screw 42, and an adjusting nut 43. The outer baffle body 41 is arranged parallel to the connecting plate body 31. The connecting plate body 31, the connecting rod 32, and the moving frame 21 have threaded holes 33 that communicate with each other. The lateral adjusting screw 42 is installed in the threaded hole 33. One end of the lateral adjusting screw 42 is connected to the outer baffle body 41, and the other end of the lateral adjusting screw 42 extends into the moving frame 21. The end of the lateral adjusting screw 42 that extends into the moving frame 21 is provided with an adjusting nut 43 that matches the lateral adjusting screw 42. The distance between the outer baffle body 41 and the connecting plate 3 is adjusted by the cooperation of the lateral adjusting screw 42 and the adjusting nut 43. A sealing gasket 44 is provided on the side of the outer baffle body 41 near the connecting plate 3.

[0032] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the exterior wall panel 5 includes an exterior wall panel body 51. The top surface of the exterior wall panel 51 has upper connecting grooves 55 on both sides that match the recessed structure 34 of the connecting plate 3. The top surface of the exterior wall panel 51 has a protruding plate 52 in the middle. The bottom surface of the exterior wall panel 51 has lower connecting grooves 54 at both ends that match the positioning blocks of the connecting plate 3. The bottom surface of the exterior wall panel 51 has a groove 53 in the middle that matches the protruding plate 52.

[0033] When constructing using the steel structure wall panel connecting device of the present invention, two support frames 1 are placed side by side, and the distance between the two support frames 1 can be adjusted according to the length of the outer wall panel 5. First, the outer wall panel 5 is installed on the two connecting plates 3 located at the bottom of the support frame 1. The lower connecting groove 54 of the outer wall panel 5 cooperates with the positioning block on the connecting block 3 to fix the outer wall panel 5 on the connecting plate 3. At this time, by rotating the longitudinal adjusting screw 22, the connecting plate 3 located above the outer wall panel is moved downward, so that the concave structure 34 at the lower end of the connecting plate 3 cooperates with the upper connecting groove 55 of the outer wall panel 5 to fix the outer wall panel 5 between the upper and lower connecting plates 3. After installing the first exterior wall panel 5, install the adjacent second exterior wall panel 5. Place the exterior wall panel 5 on the corresponding connecting plate 3. The protruding plate 52 of the lower exterior wall panel 5 cooperates with the groove 53 of the upper exterior wall panel 5 to insert and fix the two exterior wall panels 5 together. Move the connecting plate 3 on the upper side of the upper exterior wall panel 5 downward. As the connecting plate 3 moves downward, the upper connecting groove 55 of the lower exterior wall panel 5 presses the sliding block 38 upward. The sliding block 38 contacts the auxiliary fixing block 39 through the pressing inclined surface 314 and presses the auxiliary fixing block 39 outward, so that the auxiliary fixing block 39 protrudes out of the auxiliary fixing hole 36. The part of the auxiliary fixing block 39 protruding from the auxiliary fixing hole 36 presses the inner wall of the lower connecting groove 54 of the exterior wall panel 5 to fix the exterior wall panel 5. Finally, adjust the distance between the outer baffle body 41 and the connecting plate 3 by rotating the adjusting nut 43 so that the sealing gasket 44 abuts against the surface of the exterior wall panel 5 to protect and further fix the exterior wall panel.

[0034] This invention uses connecting plates to fix the outer wall panels without the need for welding, enabling rapid installation and disassembly of the outer wall panels and improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, the distance between the connecting plates can be adjusted by an adjustment mechanism, allowing for the installation of outer wall panels of different widths, thus broadening its applicability. Moreover, the multiple functions of the connecting plates, outer baffles, and auxiliary fixing blocks further enhance the stability of the outer wall panel installation by securing it in place.
