Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wall keel technology, specifically to a metal connector for a wall keel quick-hanging system. Background Technology
[0002] A keel is a building material used to support shapes and fix structures. It is widely used in hotels, airport terminals, passenger stations, train stations, theaters, shopping malls, factories, office buildings, old building renovations, interior decoration, ceilings, and other places. The keel serves as the framework and base material for decoration, and its use is very common. The term evolved from "keel," which is actually a mineral, a fossilized skeleton of an ancient mammal. In modern construction, the keel serves as the framework and base material for decoration. There are many types of keels. Based on the materials used, they can be divided into wooden keels, light steel keels, aluminum alloy keels, steel keels, etc. Based on their application, they can be divided into ceiling keels, vertical wall keels (partition wall keels), floor keels, and hanging keels, etc.
[0003] However, existing wall joists have the following drawbacks in use:
[0004] 1. When installing panels on the keel, the weight of panels of different specifications and materials varies greatly. When different specifications and materials are used, when the weight of the panel is large, the load on the panel is concentrated, the stress on the connectors is concentrated, and the panel is prone to deformation after installation.
[0005] 2. Existing panels are usually directly connected to the keel with screws during installation. Once the screws are installed, adjusting the position of the panel is relatively difficult. When the panel needs to be repaired or replaced, the screws may rust or become tight over time, making it very difficult to remove and reinstall them during maintenance. Special tools or methods may be needed to loosen and remove the screws, which may increase the complexity and time cost of maintenance.
[0006] Therefore, this invention proposes a metal connector for a wall keel quick-hanging system to compensate for and improve the deficiencies of the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a metal connector for a wall keel quick-hanging system, which can effectively solve the problems of incompatibility between keel and panel and difficulty in replacing and repairing the panel in the prior art. To achieve the above objective, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solution:
[0008] This invention discloses a metal connector for a quick-hanging wall keel system, comprising vertical keels and horizontal keels. The vertical keels have longitudinal fixing plates symmetrically fixed to their sides, forming a receiving groove between two of the longitudinal fixing plates. The horizontal keels have horizontal fixing plates symmetrically fixed to their top and bottom. The vertical keels have multiple fixing holes. An adjustment mechanism for suspending the horizontal keels is provided on the side of the vertical keels closest to the horizontal keels. A quick-release mechanism for easily disassembling the horizontal keels is provided inside the receiving groove. A leveling component for keeping the wooden boards vertical is provided on the side of the horizontal keels furthest from the vertical keels.
[0009] The adjustment mechanism includes a horizontally arranged crossbar, with multiple first sliders sleeved on the outside of the crossbar. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side of each first slider. A lower locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, and a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate. An upper locking block is slidably sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod.
[0010] The quick-release mechanism includes multiple grooves formed on the side of the longitudinal fixing plate, the bottom of which slopes downward on the side of the longitudinal fixing plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also includes a limiting block fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod, with the spring located on the outside of the slide rod between the upper locking block and the limiting block.
[0012] Furthermore, a fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the outer side of the first slider, the fixing bolt extending downward through the side of the first slider, and the bottom of the fixing bolt fitting tightly against the side of the crossbar.
[0013] Furthermore, the vertical keel has a longitudinal first sliding groove on its side, and a vertical rod is slidably connected in the first sliding groove. Multiple L-shaped limiting rods are fixedly connected to the side of the vertical rod. The L-shaped limiting rods correspond one-to-one with the grooves, and the L-shaped limiting rods are located on the side of the grooves.
[0014] Furthermore, the longitudinal fixing plate has a slot on its side, through which a screw rod slides. One end of the screw rod is fixedly connected to one of the L-shaped limiting rods, and a nut is threaded onto the outside of the screw rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the upper block has an inclined surface on the side away from the horizontal keel, and the inclined surface slopes from top to bottom toward the horizontal keel.
[0016] Furthermore, the balancing assembly includes a second groove longitudinally formed on the surface of the transverse keel, and a second slider is slidably connected within the second groove.
[0017] Furthermore, a wedge is fixedly connected to the side of the second slider, and the wedge extends into a second groove.
[0018] Beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. By setting an adjustment mechanism, when installing the panel, different numbers of first sliders are installed on the crossbar, so that there are multiple support points between the panel and the keel. Multiple support points can distribute the load borne by the panel to more keels, reduce the stress concentration at a single point, improve the load-bearing capacity of the structure, enhance the connection strength between the panel and the keel, ensure the stability of the overall structure, and reduce the risk of damage.
[0020] 2. With a quick-release mechanism, when the panel needs to be repaired, the L-shaped limit bar can be detached from the top of the crossbar. Then, the crossbar and the panel can be removed from the vertical keel, and the panel can be directly repaired. Compared with direct screw connection, the panel can be removed from the keel more quickly, saving repair time. At the same time, by installing the crossbar into different grooves, the longitudinal position of the panel can be quickly adjusted, and the panel can be adjusted laterally along the crossbar, thus meeting the needs of adjusting or rearranging the panels on the keel in some cases.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.
[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment of a metal connector for a quick-hanging wall keel system includes a vertical keel 1 and a horizontal keel 2. The vertical keel 1 is symmetrically fixed with longitudinal fixing plates 7 on its side, and a receiving groove 8 is formed between the two longitudinal fixing plates 7. The horizontal keel 2 is symmetrically fixed with horizontal fixing plates 9 on its top and bottom. The vertical keel 1 has multiple fixing holes 6. An adjustment mechanism 3 for suspending the horizontal keel 2 is provided on the side of the vertical keel 1 near the horizontal keel 2. A quick-release mechanism 4 for easy disassembly of the horizontal keel 2 is provided inside the receiving groove 8. A leveling component 5 for keeping the wooden board vertical is provided on the side of the horizontal keel 2 away from the vertical keel 1.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The quick-release mechanism 4 includes multiple grooves 41 formed on the side of the longitudinal fixing plate 7, with the bottom of the grooves 41 inclined downward on the side of the longitudinal fixing plate 7.
[0034] The vertical keel 1 has a longitudinal first sliding groove 44 on its side. A vertical rod 43 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 44. A plurality of L-shaped limiting rods 42 are fixedly connected to the side of the vertical rod 43. The L-shaped limiting rods 42 correspond one-to-one with the grooves 41, and the L-shaped limiting rods 42 are located on the side of the grooves 41.
[0035] The longitudinal fixing plate 7 has a slot 46 on its side, and a screw 45 slides through the slot 46. One end of the screw 45 is fixedly connected to one of the L-shaped limiting rods 42, and a nut 47 is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 45.
[0036] In practice, when installing the horizontal bar 31 with the panel on it onto the vertical keel 1, first place the horizontal bar 31 into the inclined groove 41, then push the vertical bar 43 downward to move the L-shaped limiting rod 42 to the surface of the horizontal bar 31. The L-shaped limiting rod 42 blocks the horizontal bar 31 in the groove 41. Finally, tighten the nut 47, which is pressed tightly against the side of the longitudinal fixing plate 7 to fix the position of the vertical bar 43 and prevent it from sliding, thus enabling the panel to be installed on the keel. When the panel needs to be disassembled for maintenance, loosen the nut 47 and push the vertical bar 43 upward. After the vertical bar 43 moves the L-shaped limiting rod 42 away from the surface of the horizontal bar 31, the horizontal bar 31 can be disassembled from the groove 41, enabling quick disassembly of the panel. Afterward, the horizontal bar 31 can be reinserted into the groove 41 in different positions to adjust the longitudinal position of the panel.
[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 The leveling component 5 includes a second groove 51 longitudinally formed on the surface of the transverse keel 2, and a second slider 52 is slidably connected in the second groove 51.
[0038] The second slider 52 is fixedly connected to a wedge 53 on its side, and the wedge 53 extends out of the second groove 51.
[0039] In practice, when installing the panel onto the horizontal keel 2, if the panel cannot fit the surface of the horizontal keel 2, the second slider 52 is pushed to drive the wedge 53 to be inserted into the area between the horizontal keel 2 and the panel, and the wedge 53 is used to fill the gap between the panel and the horizontal keel 2.
[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The adjusting mechanism 3 includes a horizontally arranged crossbar 31, a plurality of first sliders 33 are sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 31, a connecting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the side of each first slider 33, a lower locking block 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 32, a sliding rod 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 32, and an upper locking block 35 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 37.
[0041] The adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a limiting block 39 fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod 37, and a spring 38 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 37. The spring 38 is located on the outside of the slide rod 37 between the upper locking block 35 and the limiting block 39.
[0042] The first slider 33 is threadedly connected to a fixing bolt 36 on its outer side. The fixing bolt 36 extends downward through the side of the first slider 33, and the bottom of the fixing bolt 36 is tightly fitted to the side of the crossbar 31.
[0043] The upper block 35 has a slope 10 on the side away from the horizontal keel 2, and the slope 10 is inclined from top to bottom towards the horizontal keel 2.
[0044] In practice, when installing the panel, the vertical keel 1 is fixed to the wall by passing expansion bolts through the fixing holes 6, and the panel is fixedly connected to the surface of the horizontal keel 2. Then, the horizontal fixing plate 9 at the bottom of the horizontal keel 2 is inserted into the lower locking block 34, and the horizontal fixing plate 9 at the top of the horizontal keel 2 is inserted into the upper locking block 35 along the inclined surface 10. At this time, the upper locking block 35 moves upward along the slide bar 37 and presses the spring 38 upward. When the horizontal fixing plate 9 at the top of the horizontal keel 2 enters below the upper locking block 35, the spring 38 pushes the upper locking block 35 downward to abut against the surface of the horizontal fixing plate 9, thereby fixing the horizontal keel 2 with the panel to the surface of the horizontal bar 31. At the same time, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the panel, loosen the fixing bolt 36, and then push the first slider 33 to move horizontally along the horizontal bar 31. After moving to the appropriate position, tighten the fixing bolt 36 to fix the position of the panel.
[0045] Overall work process:
[0046] The first step is to adjust the panel position: When adjusting the horizontal position of the panel, loosen the fixing bolt 36, and then push the first slider 33 to move horizontally along the crossbar 31. After moving to the appropriate position, tighten the fixing bolt 36 to fix the panel position. When adjusting the vertical position of the panel, loosen the nut 47 and push the vertical bar 43 upward. After the vertical bar 43 drives the L-shaped limit bar 42 to disengage from the surface of the crossbar 31, the crossbar 31 can be disengaged from the groove 41. Then the crossbar 31 can be put back into the groove 41 in different positions to achieve the vertical position adjustment of the panel.
[0047] The second step is to quickly disassemble the panel: When the panel needs to be disassembled for maintenance, loosen the nut 47 and push the vertical rod 43 upward. After the vertical rod 43 drives the L-shaped limit rod 42 to disengage from the surface of the horizontal rod 31, the horizontal rod 31 can be disengaged from the groove 41, thus achieving quick disassembly of the panel. Compared with directly using screws for connection, the panel can be removed from the keel more quickly, saving maintenance time.
[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
