Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building decoration engineering technology, and in particular to a stair tread connector and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] The main purpose of stair treads is as railings for stairs. The connection between existing stair treads often requires on-site manual welding or the use of corresponding connectors for welding, grinding, polishing and other processes, which makes the actual installation process inconvenient and the welding operation can also pose certain safety hazards.

[0003] The existing publication number CN103669758B discloses a stair handrail connection structure, including a stair handrail post and a straight pipe connector. Adjacent stair handrail posts are connected by the connector, which consists of an elastic sleeve and a steel ring. The steel ring fits around the elastic sleeve. The elastic sleeve and the steel ring are fixedly connected together at a through hole. The elastic sleeve is a notched sleeve formed by cutting a section of steel pipe along its main axis. It is elastic and can be squeezed by hand to reduce its diameter so that it can be inserted into the stair handrail post. The elastic force generated by the compression of the elastic sleeve allows it to be tightly connected to the stair handrail post. No welding or other processes are required, making installation convenient, safe, and environmentally friendly. After fitting, the surface is smooth and aesthetically pleasing.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned stair handrail connection structure involves fully inserting the elastic sleeve into the stair handrail bar, which can only connect two straight stair handrail bars. In actual installation, the stair handrail bars also need to be bent during installation, so the above-mentioned stair handrail connection structure has a limited scope of application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a step tube connector and its installation method, which solves the problem that the above-mentioned stair handrail connection structure has a limited scope of application.

The stair handrail 101 has a through groove 111, a mounting hole 112, and a mounting slot 113. The base 102 has a first arc surface 114 and a second arc surface 115. The connecting seat 104 has a third arc surface 116. Given the limited applicability of stair handrail connection structures in the aforementioned background art, it can be understood that the aforementioned solution can be used for stair tread tube installation and can also be used to solve the connection problem between pipe fittings.

[0036] In this specific embodiment, the locking member is connected to the stair handrail 101, the base 102 is connected to the locking member, the base rotating seat 103 is located on the side of the base 102 away from the locking member, and the connecting seat 104 is connected to the base rotating seat 103 through the mounting member. The locking member is used to connect to the stair handrail 101. The connecting seat 104 connects to another stair handrail 101 through the mounting member. The base 102 is connected to the locking member. The base 102 is connected to the base rotating seat 103 through the mounting member. The connecting seat 104 is connected to the base rotating seat 103 through the mounting member. If the base rotating seat 103 is connected to the base 102 first, the connecting seat 104 can rotate along the base rotating seat 103. If the base rotating seat 103 is connected to the connecting seat 104 first, the base 102 can rotate along the base rotating seat 103, realizing the bending installation between the two stair handrails 101, which is convenient and applicable to various scenarios.

[0037] The connecting bolt 105 is threadedly connected to the base 102 and passes through the base 102; the engaging seat 106 is connected to the connecting bolt 105 and engages with the stair handrail 101; the end of the spring piece 107 is fixedly connected to the engaging seat 106. The connecting bolt 105 is screwed into the base 102 and passes through the base 102, with one end of the bolt having an interference fit with the engaging seat 106. The spring piece 107 is welded and fixed to the side of the engaging seat 106, and the side of the spring piece 107 away from the engaging seat 106 is elastic.

[0038] Secondly, the first countersunk bolt 108 is threadedly connected to the base rotating seat 103 and passes through the base 102; the second countersunk bolt 109 is threadedly connected to the base rotating seat 103 and passes through the connecting seat 104; the mounting bolt 110 is threadedly connected to the stair handrail 101 and passes through the connecting seat 104. The first countersunk bolt 108 passes through the base 102 and is threadedly connected to the base rotating seat 103, fixing the base rotating seat 103 on the base 102. When the first countersunk bolt 108 is not abutting against the base 102, the base rotating seat 103 rotates on the base 102 through the first countersunk bolt 108. The second countersunk bolt 109 passes through the connecting seat 104 and is threadedly connected to the base rotating seat 103, positioned relative to the first countersunk bolt 108. When the second countersunk bolt 109 is not abutting against the connecting seat 104, the base rotating seat 103 rotates on the connecting seat 104 through the second countersunk bolt 109. The mounting bolt 110 passes through the connecting seat 104 and is threadedly connected to another stair handrail 101, fixing the other stair handrail 101 to the connecting seat 104.

[0039] Meanwhile, the through groove 111 extends along the length of the stair handrail 101; the mounting hole 112 is located at the center of the stair handrail 101 and mates with the mounting bolt 110; the mounting groove 113 is located on the surface of the stair handrail 101. There are multiple through grooves 111, each extending along the length of the stair handrail 101, reducing the weight of the stair handrail 101. The mounting hole 112 is located at the center of the stair handrail 101 and is threadedly connected to the mounting bolt 110. The mounting groove 113 is used for engaging the locking component.

[0040] Furthermore, the first arc surface 114 is located on the side of the base 102 near the stair handrail 101 and mates with the surface of the stair handrail 101; the second arc surface 115 is located on the side of the base 102 near the base rotating seat 103 and mates with the surface of the base rotating seat 103; the third arc surface 116 is located on the side of the connecting seat 104 near the base rotating seat 103 and mates with the surface of the base rotating seat 103. The first arc surface 114 ensures that the base 102 fits snugly against the stair handrail 101, guaranteeing aesthetics; the second arc surface 115 allows the base 102 to rotate for the base rotating seat 103; and the third arc surface 116 allows the base rotating seat 103 to rotate for the base rotating seat 103, guaranteeing aesthetics.

[0041] Using a step tube connector of this embodiment, the base 102 is first connected to the locking seat 106 by the connecting bolt 105. At this time, the spring piece 107 is fixed on the locking seat 106. Then, the spring piece 107 is pressed, and the spring piece 107 and the locking seat 106 are inserted together into the mounting groove 113. The elastic force of the spring piece 107 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove 113, thereby fixing the base 102 to a stair handrail 101. At this time, the first arc surface 114 fits against the surface of the stair handrail 101, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing installation. Then, the installation... Bolt 110 connects the connecting seat 104 to another stair handrail 101. According to the installation requirements, the base rotating seat 103 is first installed on the base 102 through the first countersunk bolt 108, or the base rotating seat 103 is first installed on the connecting seat 104 through the second countersunk bolt 109. At this time, the two stair handrails 101 can rotate. After adjusting the bending angle, the first countersunk bolt 108 or the second countersunk bolt 109 is locked. The installation is completed, so that the two stair handrails 101 can be bent. The installation is convenient and beautiful, and the application range is wider.

[0042] The second embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0043] Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 ,in, Figure 6 This is a step diagram illustrating the installation method of the stair tread connector according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The installation method of the stair tread connector according to this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0044] S201: Assemble the locking component, base 102 and base rotating seat 103;

[0045] S202: After assembly, press the spring piece 107 and insert the locking seat 106 and the spring piece 107 together into a stair handrail 101;

[0046] S203: Assemble the connecting seat 104 with another stair handrail 101;

[0047] S204: After assembly, place the connecting seat 104 close to the base rotating seat 103 and rotate to adjust the angle of the connecting seat 104;

[0048] S205: After adjustment, use the second countersunk bolt 109 to lock the connecting seat 104 and the base rotating seat 103, and the installation is complete.

[0049] Specifically, the locking member is connected to the base 102 via the connecting bolt 105, and the base rotating seat 103 is connected to the base 102 via the first countersunk bolt 108. Then, the spring piece 107 is pressed down, causing the spring piece 107 and the locking seat 106 to engage together in the mounting groove 113 of one of the stair handrails 101. The spring force of the spring piece 107 is restored, causing the spring piece 107 to abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove 113, thereby installing the base 102 onto one of the stair handrails 101. Then, the connecting seat 104 is connected to another stair handrail 101 by the mounting bolt 110, so that the second countersunk bolt 109 passes through the connecting seat 104 and the base rotating seat 103. When the second countersunk bolt 109 does not abut against the connecting seat 104, the connecting seat 104 can rotate along the rotation, which facilitates the adjustment of the bending angle. After the adjustment is completed, the second countersunk bolt 109 is rotated to abut against the connecting seat 104, and the installation is completed, realizing the bending installation between the two stair handrails 101, which has a wider range of applications.
