Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of support construction technology, and in particular to a support assembly and a method for installing the support assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Scaffolding and other support structures are typically formed by connecting multiple horizontal bars, multiple vertical bars, and multiple diagonal bars. When erecting scaffolding, the horizontal bars, vertical bars, and diagonal bars are either fastened together with fasteners such as disc buckles or connected with pins such as pins.
[0003] Based on the connection method of fasteners and pins, existing scaffolding and other support devices rely on manual labor to connect horizontal bars, vertical bars and diagonal bars from bottom to top during the construction process. This not only results in low construction efficiency and high labor intensity, but also greatly increases the risk of working at height in the later stages of construction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support assembly and a method for installing the support assembly, so as to alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art where scaffolding and other support devices rely on manual labor to connect horizontal bars, vertical bars and diagonal bars from bottom to top during the construction process, and fasteners or pins are used to connect the bars. This not only results in low construction efficiency and high labor intensity, but also greatly increases the risk of high-altitude operations in the later stages of construction.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a support assembly comprising a plurality of support units;
[0006] Each of the bracket units includes a first mounting side and a second mounting side positioned opposite each other. The first mounting side is provided with a plug-in portion, and the second mounting side is provided with a mating hole. The plug-in portion is used to plug into the mating hole on another bracket unit on the first mounting side, and the mating hole is used to plug into the plug-in portion on another bracket unit on the second mounting side.
[0007] The bracket unit also includes a peripheral side located between the first mounting side and the second mounting side. The peripheral side of the plug-in portion is provided with a limiting pin and a limiting groove. The limiting pin is used to plug into the limiting groove on the peripheral side of the bracket unit when the plug-in portion is plugged into the mating hole on the other bracket unit. The limiting groove is used to plug into the limiting pin on the peripheral side of the bracket unit when the plug-in portion is plugged into the mating hole on the other bracket unit.
[0008] The insertion direction between the limiting pin and the limiting groove is the same as the insertion direction between the insertion part and the interlocking hole, and the limiting pin and the limiting groove can abut against each other in a direction perpendicular to their insertion direction after insertion.
[0009] In an optional embodiment, the insertion part is tubular, and the side of the limiting pin away from the insertion part is provided with an abutting protrusion, and the limiting groove communicates with the internal space of the insertion part.
[0010] The abutting protrusion is used to abut against the inner wall of the insertion part where the limiting pin is located after the limiting pin is inserted into the limiting groove.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the number of limiting pins and limiting grooves on the plug portion is multiple. The multiple limiting pins and multiple limiting grooves are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference of the plug portion, and the multiple limiting pins are arranged adjacent to each other in pairs, and the multiple limiting grooves are arranged adjacent to each other in pairs.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the first mounting side is the bottom side of the support unit, and the second mounting side is the top side of the support unit.
[0013] In an optional implementation, a top support structure is also included;
[0014] Among the multiple support units, the top support unit is provided with a threaded hole on its top side, and the top support structure is provided with an external thread that matches the threaded hole. The top support structure is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.
[0015] In an optional implementation, a transfer limiter is also included;
[0016] Each turn of the external thread is provided with a notch, and multiple notches are located on the same straight line to form an intermittent channel extending axially along the external thread on the top support structure.
[0017] Each thread of the threaded hole is provided with a break, and multiple breaks are located on the same straight line to form an intermittent channel extending axially along the inner wall of the threaded hole.
[0018] The discontinuous channel on the top support structure is used to communicate with the discontinuous channel in the threaded hole when the top support structure is threadedly connected to the threaded hole to form an anti-rotation groove.
[0019] The rotation limiting component is inserted into the anti-rotation groove along the extension direction of the intermittent channel.
[0020] In an optional embodiment, the support unit includes a folding frame and a strut structure. The folding frame is foldable and unfoldable, and the strut structure is detachably connected between the two opposite sides of the folding frame after the folding frame is unfolded, so as to restrict the folding of the folding frame.
[0021] In an optional embodiment, the folding frame includes multiple upright structures and multiple foldable horizontal bar structures, the multiple horizontal bar structures are arranged sequentially at intervals, the multiple upright structures are distributed sequentially along the circumference of the horizontal bar structures, and each upright structure is sequentially connected to the multiple horizontal bar structures.
[0022] The strut structure includes multiple horizontal bars and multiple diagonal bars. The multiple horizontal bars are used to be inserted between multiple sets of two adjacent upright structures after the folding frame is unfolded. The multiple diagonal bars are used to be inserted between multiple sets of two adjacent upright structures after the folding frame is unfolded.
[0023] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for installing a support assembly, using a support assembly as described in any of the foregoing embodiments, comprising:
[0024] S1: Divide the periphery of each bracket unit into a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and designate one of the first mounting side and the second mounting side of each bracket unit as the top side and the other side as the bottom side; arrange multiple bracket units sequentially along the horizontal direction on the rear side of one of the bracket units.
[0025] S2: Multiple support units are stacked sequentially from bottom to top above each support unit, or, first, a support unit is set on the right side of each support unit, and then multiple support units are alternately stacked above each pair of adjacent support units on the left and right sides of each group; at the same time, any two adjacent support units in any group are plugged into each other through the plug-in part and the interlocking hole, and the plug-in parts of any two adjacent support units in any group in the horizontal direction are connected to each other through the limiting pin and the limiting groove;
[0026] S3: A support unit is provided on the right side of each support unit with space on the right side. At the same time, the two adjacent support units in each group are connected to each other through the plug-in part and the interlocking hole. The plug-in parts of the two adjacent support units in each group in the horizontal direction are connected to each other through the limiting pin and the limiting groove.
[0027] S4: Repeat step S3 until all support units are connected sequentially to form the support assembly.
[0028] In an optional implementation, in steps S2-S4, when a support unit is stacked on top of the support unit, a forklift is used to install the support unit located above the support unit located below on the top side.
[0029] The bracket assembly provided by the present invention includes multiple bracket units; each bracket unit includes a first mounting side and a second mounting side positioned opposite each other, the first mounting side is provided with a plug-in portion, and the second mounting side is provided with a mating hole; the plug-in portion is used to plug into the mating hole on another bracket unit on the first mounting side, and the mating hole is used to plug into the plug-in portion on another bracket unit on the second mounting side; the bracket unit also includes a peripheral side located between the first mounting side and the second mounting side, the peripheral side of the plug-in portion is provided with a limiting pin and a limiting groove; the limiting pin is used to plug into the limiting groove on another bracket unit on the peripheral side of its own bracket unit when the plug-in portion on its own is plugged into the mating hole on another bracket unit; the limiting groove is used to plug into the limiting pin on another bracket unit on the peripheral side of its own bracket unit when the plug-in portion on its own is plugged into the mating hole on another bracket unit; the plugging direction between the limiting pin and the limiting groove is the same as the plugging direction between the plug-in portion and the mating hole, and the limiting pin and the limiting groove can abut against each other in a direction perpendicular to their plugging direction after plugging in. The support assembly provided by this invention can be used as scaffolding in construction projects. Before installing the support assembly, a sufficient number of support units can be prefabricated on the ground, and then multiple support units can be transported sequentially to the erection site. After the support units are transported to the erection site, the first or second mounting side of the support unit should face upwards. Then, multiple other support units can be stacked sequentially on top of one of the support units, and during the stacking process, the interlocking parts and interlocking holes allow adjacent support units to be interlocked. Subsequently, multiple support units can be stacked and interlocked from bottom to top around the periphery of the stacked support units. During the stacking and interlocking of other support units on top of each support unit, the limiting pins and limiting grooves between the upper support unit and the other support units located around it are interlocked. Since the insertion direction between the limiting pin and the limiting groove is the same as the insertion direction between the insertion part and the mating hole, before stacking and inserting other support units on top of each support unit, aligning the limiting pins and limiting grooves between adjacent support units vertically allows the limiting pins and limiting grooves to interlock during stacking and insertion, eliminating the need for additional insertion operations. Furthermore, since the limiting pins and limiting grooves abut against each other in a direction perpendicular to their insertion direction after insertion, the limiting pins and limiting grooves can also lock the upper support unit to other support units located around it after stacking and inserting adjacent support units. This process can also lock the lower support unit to other support units located around it. By repeating the above process, all support units can be sequentially locked after insertion, thus forming a structurally stable support assembly.As can be seen, the bracket assembly provided by the present invention only requires aligning and stacking the bracket units from bottom to top during installation. There is no need to use fasteners or pins to connect the bracket units. Since the stacking and insertion process of the bracket units is relatively simple, this process can be achieved using mechanical equipment such as forklifts and cranes. There is no need for manual insertion operations, which can effectively improve construction efficiency and reduce the intensity of manual labor. In the later stage of installation, it can also effectively reduce the risk of manual high-altitude operations.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the support assembly provided by the present invention achieves the insertion and locking between support units by stacking and inserting multiple support units from bottom to top, and repeating the process of stacking and inserting multiple support units from bottom to top around the periphery of the stacked support units. During the stacking process, the limiting pins and limiting slots between two adjacent support units in the horizontal direction of each group are inserted, thereby forming a structurally stable support assembly. Based on this, the installation process of the support assembly provided by the present invention can be realized by using mechanical equipment such as forklifts, without the need for manual assembly. This can not only effectively improve construction efficiency and reduce the intensity of manual labor, but also reduce the risk of manual high-altitude operations.
[0031] The bracket assembly installation method provided by the present invention, using the above-mentioned bracket assembly, includes: S1: dividing the periphery of each bracket unit into a front side, a rear side, a left side, and a right side, and designating one of the first mounting side and the second mounting side of each bracket unit as the top side and the other side as the bottom side; setting one bracket unit on the right side of one of the bracket units, and / or, sequentially setting multiple bracket units along the horizontal direction on the rear side of one of the bracket units, and setting one bracket unit on the right side of each bracket unit; S2: sequentially stacking multiple bracket units from bottom to top above each bracket unit. S3: A support unit is provided on the right side of each support unit with space on the right side. At the same time, two adjacent support units in any group are connected to each other through the plug-in part and the interlocking hole. The plug-in parts of two adjacent support units in any group in the horizontal direction are connected to each other through the limiting pin and the limiting groove. S4: Repeat step S3 until all support units are connected in sequence to form a support assembly.
[0032] The bracket assembly installation method provided by this invention applies the above-mentioned bracket assembly. After steps S1-S4, the bracket units can also be stacked and inserted to form a structurally stable bracket assembly. Based on this, the bracket assembly installation method can also use mechanical equipment such as forklifts to install the bracket assembly without manual assembly, thereby effectively improving construction efficiency, reducing manual labor intensity, and reducing the risk of manual high-altitude operations.

Detailed Implementation
[0062] 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 embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0063] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0064] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0065] Example:
[0066] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket assembly provided in this embodiment includes multiple bracket units 1; each bracket unit 1 includes a first mounting side and a second mounting side that are positioned opposite each other, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting side is provided with a plug-in portion 10, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the second mounting side is provided with a mating hole 11; the insertion part 10 is used to insert into the mating hole 11 on another bracket unit 1 on the first mounting side, and the mating hole 11 is used to insert into the insertion part 10 on another bracket unit 1 on the second mounting side; the bracket unit 1 also includes a peripheral side located between the first mounting side and the second mounting side, such as Figure 4, Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the peripheral side of the insertion part 10 is provided with a limiting pin 100 and a limiting groove 101; the limiting pin 100 is used to insert into the limiting groove 101 on the other support unit 1 on the periphery of the insertion part 10 when it is inserted into the mating hole 11 on the other support unit 1; the limiting groove 101 is used to insert into the limiting pin 100 on the other support unit 1 on the periphery of the insertion part 10 when it is inserted into the mating hole 11 on the other support unit 1; the insertion direction between the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 is the same as the insertion direction between the insertion part 10 and the mating hole 11, and after the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 are inserted, they can abut against each other in a direction perpendicular to their insertion direction, so as to restrict the support unit 1 from separating from the other support unit 1 on its periphery along its circumference.
[0067] The support assembly provided in this embodiment can be used as scaffolding in construction projects. Before installing the support assembly, sufficient scaffolding can be prefabricated on the ground. Figure 1 The support unit 1 shown is used, and then multiple support units 1 are transported sequentially to the support assembly erection site. After the support unit 1 is transported to the erection site, the first mounting side or the second mounting side of the support unit 1 should face upwards. Then, multiple other support units 1 can be stacked sequentially on top of one of the support units 1. During the stacking process, the insertion part 10 and the interlocking hole 11 are used to allow two adjacent support units 1 to be interlocked with each other, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Then, multiple support units 1 can continue to be stacked and inserted from bottom to top around the periphery of the stacked support units 1. During the process of stacking and inserting other support units 1 above each support unit 1, the limiting pins 100 and limiting grooves 101 between the upper support unit 1 and the other support units 1 located around it are mutually engaged, as shown. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown.
[0068] Since the insertion direction between the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 is the same as the insertion direction between the insertion part 10 and the mating hole 11, before stacking and inserting other support units 1 on top of each support unit 1, aligning the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 between two adjacent support units 1 vertically allows the limiting pin 100 and the limiting pin 101 to be inserted into each other during the stacking and insertion process, eliminating the need for additional insertion operations. Furthermore, since the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 can abut against each other in a direction perpendicular to their insertion direction after being inserted, after stacking and inserting two adjacent support units 1, the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 can be used to lock the upper support unit 1 to other support units 1 located around it, and further, the lower support unit 1 can be locked to other support units 1 located around it. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown.
[0069] By repeating the above process, all support units 1 can be locked in sequence after being plugged in, thus forming a structurally stable support assembly.
[0070] As can be seen, the bracket assembly provided in this embodiment only requires aligning and stacking the bracket units 1 sequentially from bottom to top during installation. There is no need to use fasteners or pins to connect the bracket units 1. Since the stacking and insertion process of the bracket units 1 is relatively simple, this process utilizes… Figure 3 The forklift or crane shown can be used to perform the connection, eliminating the need for manual plug-in operations. This effectively improves construction efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and minimizes the risks of manual high-altitude operations in the later stages of installation.
[0071] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the accurate connection between support units 1 using mechanical equipment such as forklifts 6 to improve construction efficiency, camera devices may be installed on mechanical equipment such as forklifts 6.
[0072] Compared with the prior art, the support assembly provided in this embodiment achieves the insertion and locking between support units 1 by stacking and inserting multiple support units 1 from bottom to top, and repeating the process of stacking and inserting multiple support units 1 from bottom to top around the periphery of the stacked support units 1. During the stacking process, the limiting pins 100 and limiting grooves 101 between two adjacent support units 1 in the horizontal direction of each group are inserted, thereby forming a structurally stable support assembly. Based on this, the installation process of the support assembly provided in this embodiment can be realized by using mechanical equipment such as forklifts 6, without the need for manual assembly. This can not only effectively improve construction efficiency and reduce the intensity of manual labor, but also reduce the risk of manual high-altitude operations.
[0073] It should be noted that the mutual abutment between the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 after insertion can be achieved by vertically connecting a spring positioning pin or other telescopic structure on the side of the limiting pin 100 away from the insertion part 10. Correspondingly, a slot is provided at the position of the limiting groove 101 corresponding to the end of the spring positioning pin. After the spring positioning pin moves to the slot, it can extend and its end extends into the slot, thereby preventing the limiting pin 100 from exiting the limiting groove 101.
[0074] Alternatively, to achieve mutual contact between the limit pin 100 and the limit groove 101 after insertion, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the insertion part 10 can be tubular, and the side of the limiting pin 100 away from the insertion part 10 is provided with an abutting protrusion 1000. The limiting groove 101 communicates with the inner space of the insertion part 10. The abutting protrusion 1000 is used to abut against the inner wall of the insertion part 10 where the limiting groove 101 is located after the limiting pin 100 is inserted into the limiting groove 101.
[0075] Depend on Figure 5 As can be seen, when the insertion part 10 of two adjacent support units 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 between the upper support unit 1 and the support unit 1 on its periphery will also be inserted into each other. After the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101 are inserted, the upper support unit 1 and the support unit 1 on its periphery will be restricted from separating from each other in the circumferential direction, thereby locking the upper support unit 1 and the support unit 1 on its periphery.
[0076] It should be noted that, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when other support units 1 are provided on both the periphery of the upper support unit 1 and the periphery of the lower support unit 1, since the upper support unit 1 and the lower support unit 1 are interlocked, and the other support units 1 on the periphery of the upper support unit 1 and the other support units 1 on the periphery of the lower support unit 1 are interlocked, when the upper support unit 1 and the other support units 1 on its periphery are locked to each other by the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101, the above-mentioned support units 1 will also be locked in sequence, thereby realizing the locking after the support units 1 are interlocked, so that the support assembly can remain stable at any time during the installation process.
[0077] To improve the contact stability between the abutting protrusion 1000 and the inner wall of the insertion part 10, this embodiment preferably uses an arc panel for the abutting protrusion 1000, and the arc panel can fit against the inner wall of the insertion part 10.
[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, there are multiple limiting pins 100 and multiple limiting grooves 101 on the insertion part 10. The multiple limiting pins 100 and multiple limiting grooves 101 are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference of the insertion part 10, and the multiple limiting pins 100 are arranged adjacent to each other in pairs, and the multiple limiting grooves 101 are arranged adjacent to each other in pairs.
[0079] When the number of limiting pins 100 and limiting grooves 101 are both multiple and are distributed at equal intervals along the circumference of the insertion part 10, it can not only make the structure of the support unit 1 uniform and improve the ease of installation of the support assembly, but also make the force on the support unit 1 balanced, effectively improving the installation balance and installation stability of the support assembly.
[0080] Since each bracket unit 1 can be connected to a maximum of four other bracket units 1 during the installation of the bracket assembly, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the number of limiting pins 100 and limiting grooves 101 on the plug-in part 10 are both two, and the two limiting pins 100 and the two limiting grooves 101 are respectively used to connect with four other bracket units 1.
[0081] In this embodiment, the first mounting side can be the bottom side of the bracket unit 1, and the second mounting side can be the top side of the bracket unit 1.
[0082] When the first mounting side is the bottom side of the bracket unit 1, the insertion part 10 can be located at the bottom of the bracket unit 1 and the insertion hole 11 can be located at the top of the bracket unit 1. This arrangement makes it easy for the upper bracket unit 1 to be inserted into the lower bracket unit 1 during the vertical stacking and insertion of the bracket units 1, and makes it easy for the upper bracket unit 1 to be detached from the lower bracket unit 1 during the disassembly of the bracket assembly.
[0083] In this embodiment, the support unit 1 can also be formed by connecting various rods. To facilitate the insertion process between the insertion part 10 and the insertion hole 11, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the end of the rod at the second mounting side of the support unit 1 can be fitted with a sleeve. Figure 8 The sleeve 110 shown has an internal space for forming a socket 11.
[0084] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the sleeve 110 may be provided with a partition 1100 inside. The partition 1100 is used to divide the mating hole 11 into two mating slots with the same volume and opposite opening directions. The mating slot with the opening facing upward is used to insert the insertion part 10 of the support unit 1 located above it, and the mating slot with the opening facing downward is used to insert the insertion part 10 of the support unit 1 located below it.
[0085] It can be seen that the partition 1100 inside the sleeve 110 can effectively improve the insertion stability and insertion balance between the support units 1.
[0086] like Figure 9 As shown, the bracket assembly provided in this embodiment also includes a top support structure 2; among the multiple bracket units 1, the top side of the bracket unit 1 located at the top is provided with a threaded hole 3, and the top support structure 2 is provided with an external thread that is adapted to the threaded hole 3, and the top support structure 2 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 3.
[0087] The top support structure 2 is used to install on the top of the stacked support unit 1 after the support unit 1 is stacked and plugged in. The top of the top support structure 2 is used to support components such as crossbeams and walking plates.
[0088] It should be noted that the top support structure 2 is connected to the support unit 1 located at the top via threaded holes 3 and external threads, which can be achieved through manual high-altitude operations. Compared to the entire support assembly process relying on manual assembly, the connection between the top support structure 2 and the support unit 1 only requires manual labor, which still improves construction efficiency and reduces labor intensity.
[0089] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the bracket assembly provided in this embodiment also includes a rotation limiting member 4; each turn of the external thread has a notch, and multiple notches are located on the same straight line to form an intermittent channel 5 extending axially along the external thread on the top support structure 2; each turn of the threaded hole 3 has a break, and multiple breaks are located on the same straight line to form an intermittent channel 5 extending axially along the threaded hole 3 on the inner wall of the threaded hole 3; the intermittent channel 5 on the top support structure 2 is used to communicate with the intermittent channel 5 in the threaded hole 3 when the top support structure 2 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 3 to form an anti-rotation groove; the rotation limiting member 4 is inserted into the anti-rotation groove along the extension direction of the intermittent channel 5.
[0090] During installation, the top support structure 2 can be threaded into the threaded hole 3 of the top support unit 1, while simultaneously connecting the discontinuous channel 5 on the top support structure 2 with the discontinuous channel 5 in the threaded hole 3 to form an anti-rotation groove. Then, the top support structure 2 can be threaded into the threaded hole 3. Figure 10 The rotation limiting component 4 shown is inserted into the anti-rotation groove mentioned above. At this time, as Figure 11 As shown, the rotation limiter 4 can abut against the threads on both sides of the interrupted channel 5 on the top support structure 2 and against the threads on both sides of the interrupted channel 5 on the threaded hole 3, thereby limiting the top support structure 2 from continuing to rotate or rotating in the reverse direction within the threaded hole 3, and effectively preventing the top support structure 2 from exiting from the threaded hole 3.
[0091] To facilitate the insertion of the rotation limiting component 4 into the anti-rotation groove and to facilitate the removal of the rotation limiting component 4 from the anti-rotation groove, such as Figure 10As shown, the anti-rotation component 4 may include a plug rod and a handle rod vertically connected to one side of the plug rod. The plug rod is used to insert into the anti-rotation groove, and the handle rod can abut against the top side of the top support unit 1. The handle rod can not only act as a handle, but also prevent the plug rod from being unable to exit the anti-rotation groove due to being submerged in it.
[0092] like Figures 12-17 As shown, the support unit 1 includes a folding frame 12 and a strut structure 13, as... Figure 12 and Figure 15 As shown, the folding frame 12 can be folded and unfolded, as... Figure 1 As shown, the strut structure 13 is detachably connected between the two opposite sides of the folding frame 12 after the folding frame 12 is unfolded, so as to restrict the folding frame 12 from folding.
[0093] Compared to a fixed support unit 1, when the support unit 1 includes a folding frame 12, the space occupied by the support unit 1 during transportation and storage can be effectively reduced, while also effectively improving the transportation convenience of the support unit 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the support unit 1 preferably includes a folding frame 12 and a support rod structure 13, wherein the support rod structure 13 can support the folding frame 12 when it is unfolded, preventing the folding frame 12 from folding, thereby improving the structural stability of the support unit 1 during the installation of the support assembly.
[0094] To improve the ease of connection between the strut structure 13 and the folding frame 12, the strut structure 13 and the folding frame 12 can be detachably connected by a plug-in method.
[0095] Furthermore, such as Figure 15 As shown, the folding frame 12 includes multiple upright structures 120 and multiple foldable horizontal rod structures 121. The multiple horizontal rod structures 121 are arranged sequentially at intervals, and the multiple upright structures 120 are distributed sequentially along the circumference of the horizontal rod structures 121. Each upright structure 120 is sequentially connected to multiple horizontal rod structures 121. Figure 1 , Figure 20 and Figure 23 As shown, the strut structure 13 includes multiple horizontal bars 130 and multiple diagonal bars 131. The multiple horizontal bars 130 are used to be inserted into multiple sets of adjacent upright structures 120 after the folding frame 12 is unfolded. The multiple diagonal bars 131 are used to be inserted into multiple sets of adjacent upright structures 120 after the folding frame 12 is unfolded.
[0096] To enable the folding and unfolding of the folding frame 12, the upright structure 120 and the horizontal structure 121 of the folding frame 12 can be hinged to each other. Specifically, as shown... Figure 13 As shown, the top and bottom of the upright structure 120 are respectively provided with hinged lugs 1200, such as... Figure 16As shown, both ends of each horizontal bar structure 121 are respectively hinged to the aforementioned hinged lug 1200.
[0097] In addition, such as Figure 15 As shown, the horizontal bar structure 121 may include multiple horizontal bars 1210, each horizontal bar 1210 including two bar segments, one end of which is hinged to the other; the horizontal bar structure 121 may also include Figure 14 The hinge 1211 shown is used to hinge the multiple horizontal bars 1210 in the horizontal bar structure 121.
[0098] When the folding frame 12 is folded, as Figure 12 As shown, the two segments of the horizontal bar 1210 rotate closer to each other around the hinge 1211, thereby achieving the folding of the horizontal bar 1210; simultaneously, the end of the horizontal bar structure 121 rotates closer to the vertical bar structure 120 around the hinge ear plate 1200, thereby achieving the folding between the horizontal bar structure 121 and the vertical bar structure 120, until the folding frame 12 is folded to... Figure 12 The state shown is as follows. When the folding frame 12 is unfolded, the two sections of the horizontal rod 1210 and the horizontal rod structure 121 rotate in opposite directions, thereby causing the horizontal rod 1210 to unfold and the horizontal rod structure 121 to unfold relative to the vertical rod structure 120, until the folding frame 12 is unfolded to... Figure 15 The state shown.
[0099] To achieve the insertion connection between the horizontal bar 130 and the vertical structure 120, and to achieve the insertion connection between the diagonal bar 131 and the vertical structure 120, such as Figure 16 As shown, the hinged lug 1200 on the upright structure 120 can be provided with multiple insertion slots spaced apart along its circumference; correspondingly, as... Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the two ends of the diagonal rod 131 are respectively provided with pins 132 that are adapted to the insertion slot, such as... Figure 24 As shown, the two ends of the crossbar 130 are respectively provided with pins 132 that are adapted to the insertion slot.
[0100] When the horizontal bar 130 is inserted into the vertical bar structure 120, such as Figure 18 As shown, the pins 132 on the crossbar 130 can be vertically inserted into the partial insertion slots on the hinge ear plate 1200; when the diagonal bar 131 is inserted into the upright structure 120, as... Figure 19 As shown, the pins 132 on the diagonal bar 131 can be vertically inserted into the remaining insertion slots on the hinge ear plate 1200.
[0101] This embodiment also provides a bracket assembly installation method, which applies the above-described bracket assembly, such as... Figure 25 As shown, the bracket assembly installation method includes:
[0102] Step S1: Divide the periphery of each support unit 1 into a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and designate one of the first mounting side and the second mounting side of each support unit 1 as the top side and the other side as the bottom side; arrange multiple support units 1 sequentially in the horizontal direction on the rear side of one of the support units 1.
[0103] Step S2: Multiple support units 1 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top above each support unit 1, or, first, a support unit 1 is set on the right side of each support unit 1, and then multiple support units 1 are stacked alternately above each pair of adjacent support units 1 on the left and right sides of each group; at the same time, any two adjacent support units 1 in any group are plugged into each other through the plug-in part 10 and the interlocking hole 11, and the plug-in parts 10 of any two adjacent support units 1 in the horizontal direction are connected to each other through the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101.
[0104] Step S3: A support unit 1 is set on the right side of each support unit 1 that has space on the right side. At the same time, the two adjacent support units 1 in each group are connected to each other through the plug-in part 10 and the plug hole 11. The plug-in parts 10 of the two adjacent support units 1 in the horizontal direction in each group are connected to each other through the limiting pin 100 and the limiting groove 101.
[0105] Step S4: Repeat step S3 until all support units 1 are connected in sequence to form a support assembly.
[0106] The bracket assembly installation method provided in this embodiment uses the above-mentioned bracket assembly. After steps S1-S4, the bracket unit 1 can also be stacked and plugged to form a structurally stable bracket assembly. Based on this, the bracket assembly installation method can also use mechanical equipment such as forklift 6 to install the bracket assembly without manual assembly, thereby effectively improving construction efficiency, reducing manual labor intensity, and reducing the risk of manual high-altitude operations.
[0107] It should be noted that in step S2, if multiple support units 1 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top above each support unit 1, then the support units 1 will be stacked and interlocked from bottom to top to form a single row of support walls. Two adjacent support units 1 within the support wall can be locked together by limiting grooves 101 and limiting pins 100, thus ensuring the stability of the support wall. However, the lateral stability of the support wall is difficult to guarantee at this time. Therefore, a ground anchor can be installed at the bottom of the lowest support unit 1 of the support wall to stably fix the lowest support unit 1 to the ground. After completing step S2, steps S3 and S4 need to be performed sequentially. After completing steps S2-S4, the arrangement order of the units in the support assembly is as follows: Figure 26 As shown, Figure 26 The serial numbers ① to ② in the middle These numbers represent the installation sequence of the support unit 1 corresponding to each number during the installation process. Taking a single-row support wall comprising five layers of support units 1 as an example, support units 1 corresponding to numbers ① to ⑤ are installed in a stacked manner in step S2, and support units 1 corresponding to numbers ⑥ to ⑩ are installed in step S3. The corresponding support unit 1 was installed during the first repetition of step S3 in step S4, and its serial number is... The corresponding support unit 1 is installed during the second repetition of step S3 in step S4. By analogy, the stacking and installation process of all support units 1 in the support assembly can be completed in an orderly manner.
[0108] In step S2, if as Figure 2 As shown, first, a support unit 1 is set on the right side of each support unit 1. Then, multiple support units 1 are alternately stacked on top of each pair of adjacent support units 1 on the left and right sides of each group. At this time, the support units 1 will be stacked and interlocked from bottom to top to form two rows of support walls on the left and right sides. The two adjacent support units 1 in each row of support walls can be locked to each other by limiting grooves 101 and limiting pins 100, thereby ensuring the stability of each row of support walls. At the same time, the left and right rows of support walls can also be locked to each other by limiting grooves 101 and limiting pins 100, so that the left and right rows of support walls support each other to ensure the stability of both rows of support walls at the same time, without the need for ground anchors for reinforcement. After completing step S2, steps S3 and S4 need to be performed in sequence. After completing steps S2-S4, the arrangement order of each unit in the support assembly is as follows. Figure 27 As shown, Figure 27 The serial numbers ① to ② in the middle These numbers represent the installation sequence of the support unit 1 corresponding to each number during the installation process. Taking an example where each row of support walls includes five layers of support units 1, the support units 1 corresponding to numbers ① to ⑩ are installed in step S2 in an alternating left-right stacking sequence. The corresponding support unit 1 is completed in step S3, serial number The corresponding support unit 1 is installed when step S3 is repeated for the first time in step S4. Similarly, the stacking and installation process of all support units 1 in the support assembly can be completed in an orderly manner.
[0109] It can be seen that step S3 is used to erect a single row of support walls on the right side of the single row of support walls or the two rows of support walls in step S2, and step S4 is used to repeatedly erect a single row of support walls on the far right of all the support walls that have been erected, thereby gradually increasing the number of rows of support walls until the installation process of all support units 1 is completed.
[0110] Since forklift 6 is more convenient than mechanical equipment such as crane, in steps S2-S4, when a support unit 1 is stacked on top of the support unit 1, this embodiment preferably uses forklift 6 to install the support unit 1 located above the support unit 1 on the top side of the support unit 1 located below.
[0111] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; 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 or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
