Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cast aluminum floor splicing technology, and more specifically, to a folding mechanism and a connection system for cast aluminum floor splicing units. Background Technology
[0002] Cast aluminum flooring is a new type of floor decoration material made from aluminum alloy through advanced high-pressure die casting technology. Due to its beauty, durability and modern feel, this material is widely used in various high-end places, such as luxury hotels, high-end office buildings, airport waiting halls, museums and high-end residences.
[0003] Cast aluminum flooring comes in a wide variety of types, and can be categorized into several types based on different manufacturing processes, structural designs, and application scenarios. Among them, solid cast aluminum flooring, with its sturdy and durable characteristics, is suitable for places with high load-bearing requirements. Hollow or honeycomb cast aluminum flooring, through its special internal structural design, achieves better sound insulation and lightweighting while ensuring strength, making it ideal for places with requirements for acoustics and weight.
[0004] The perforated cast aluminum floor consists of several cast aluminum floor panels and several support frames. These components are joined together by precise craftsmanship, ensuring both overall stability and good ventilation and light transmission. A cable management box, also known as a splicing unit, is cleverly integrated between the cast aluminum floor panels. This unit consists of a flat cable management plate and a folded steel plate, which is distributed between the two sets of support frames to neatly place various wires and cables. Therefore, the folded steel plate plays a crucial role in the installation of the perforated cast aluminum floor.
[0005] In the existing technology, the processing and installation process of folded steel plates is usually as follows: First, the folded steel plates are bent in the factory using specialized equipment to meet specific design requirements and dimensional standards; after processing, these folded steel plates are transported to the installation location designated by the customer; upon arrival at the destination, workers need to unload the folded steel plates and stack them for storage; subsequently, workers will install the required support frames, and finally, the folded steel plates will be installed and placed between the support frames.
[0006] However, during the installation of folded steel plates and support frames, workers usually only visually inspect the folded steel plates and support frames for obvious deformation or damage; and they cannot perform any secondary folding, correction or repair on existing deformations, which will lead to uneven stress on the folded steel plates between the support frames, causing structural loosening, floor shaking and other problems during long-term use; thus, it is not conducive to structural stability.
[0007] Meanwhile, one of the main functions of the splicing unit is to provide neat space for the wires. If the folded steel plate in the splicing unit is deformed, the wires may not be neatly placed in the predetermined position, or the wires may be squeezed or twisted. This will not only affect the service life of the wires, but may also lead to electrical failures, increase maintenance costs and safety hazards.
[0008] To address these issues, a folding mechanism and connection system for cast aluminum floor splicing units are proposed to improve existing problems. Summary of the Invention
[0009] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a folding mechanism and a connection system for cast aluminum floor splicing units.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a folding mechanism for a cast aluminum floor splicing unit, comprising a folding repair component, wherein the folding repair component comprises a support plate, an electric suction cup frame symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the support plate, a first slide rail arranged on one side of the electric suction cup frame, a first slider sliding on the first slide rail, a first repair plate arranged below the first slider, a second slide rail arranged between the first slide rails, a second slider symmetrically sliding on the second slide rail, a support member arranged below the second slider, and second repair plates symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support member.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the first slide rail and the second slide rail are perpendicularly distributed, and both the first repair plate and the second repair plate are continuously bent; the opening member includes a pneumatic gripper and a clamping plate symmetrically arranged at the telescopic end of the pneumatic gripper; the top of the pneumatic gripper is connected to the bottom of the second slider, and the side wall of the clamping plate away from the pneumatic gripper is connected to the corresponding second repair plate.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the workers insert the deformed folded steel plate from above one end of the two first repair plates, so that the deformed folded steel plate is positioned above the two first repair plates, with its bottom surface in contact with the two first repair plates. Then, the second slider is activated, causing the corresponding supporting component and the second repair plate to move towards opposite ends. During this process, the supporting component is activated, causing the corresponding second repair plate to contact the top surface of the deformed folded steel plate, thereby achieving the purpose of repairing the folded steel plate. This ensures the uniformity of the force on the folded steel plate and also facilitates the neat placement of wires.
[0013] The connection system uses the folding mechanism for the cast aluminum floor splicing unit as described above, including a cast aluminum floor body, with connecting components evenly arranged around the perimeter of the cast aluminum floor body; the cast aluminum floor body includes a cast aluminum floor, support seats evenly arranged around the perimeter of the cast aluminum floor, support columns disposed on the top of the support seats, ear plates disposed at one end of the support columns, and partition seats disposed on the top of the ear plates; the support column includes a bottom column, a middle column disposed at one end of the bottom column, and a top column disposed at the end of the middle column away from the bottom column, the end of the bottom column away from the middle column being connected to the top of the support seat, and the end of the top column away from the middle column being connected to the bottom of the ear plates.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the top periphery of the ear plate is evenly provided with connecting holes, the partition seat is cross-shaped, and the top of the partition seat is evenly provided with partition strips.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the connecting assembly includes a fixed shell, a rotating block disposed within the fixed shell, displacement plates disposed symmetrically on both sides of the rotating block, an extension plate disposed at one end of the displacement plate, and an electric telescopic rod disposed at the top of the extension plate.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: the fixed shell is boat-shaped, the fixed shell is sleeved on the central column, the top of the fixed shell is connected to the bottom of the ear plate, the rotating block is cross-shaped, a sleeve post is provided inside the rotating block, the sleeve post is sleeved on the central column, and the bottom of the rotating block is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the fixed shell.
[0017] The invention is further configured such that: an annular slide rail is provided at one end of the top column near the middle column, an electric ring block slides evenly on the annular slide rail, a connecting rod is provided below the electric ring block, and the end of the connecting rod away from the electric ring block is connected to the top of the rotating block.
[0018] The invention is further configured such that: the sidewall of the displacement plate is uniformly provided with grooves, which can engage with the rotating block; the bottom of the displacement plate is also rotatably connected to a main slider, a main slide rail is provided below the main slider, the main slider can slide on the main slide rail, the main slide rail is located inside the fixed shell, and the bottom of the main slide rail is connected to the inner bottom of the fixed shell.
[0019] The present invention is further configured such that: through grooves are symmetrically provided on both sides of the fixed shell, the through grooves are distributed in opposite directions, and secondary slide rails are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the fixed shell, the secondary slide rails are distributed in opposite symmetrical directions, and secondary sliders are slidably provided on the secondary slide rails.
[0020] The invention is further configured such that: an adjusting cylinder is also provided on the secondary slider, the adjusting cylinder is inclined, and the telescopic end of the adjusting cylinder is connected to the side wall of the corresponding displacement plate.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the folded steel plate needs to be laid near the wall, one of the electric telescopic rods does not need to extend. Therefore, one of the adjusting cylinders is activated, and its telescopic end pulls the corresponding displacement plate to shift the angle, so that the corresponding displacement plate moves away from the rotating block, thereby allowing the other displacement plate to move in the same way. This avoids the problem of manually adjusting multiple positions with a handheld electric drill in a relatively narrow environment, which makes it difficult to install the folded steel plate, and improves the convenience and speed of snap-fit installation.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] (1) The staff inserts the deformed folded steel plate from above one end of the two first repair plates, so that the deformed folded steel plate is above the two first repair plates and its bottom surface is in contact with the two first repair plates. Then the second slider is activated, which drives the corresponding support and the second repair plate to move to opposite ends. During this process, the support is activated, which drives the corresponding second repair plate to be in contact with the top surface of the deformed folded steel plate, thereby achieving the purpose of repairing the folded steel plate. This ensures the uniformity of the force on the folded steel plate and is also conducive to the neat placement of the wires.
[0024] (2) The electric ring block starts and slides in a ring along the ring slide rail. It drives the rotating block to rotate through the corresponding connecting rod. Since the rotating block is cross-shaped and has a sleeve column inside, the side wall of the displacement plate is evenly provided with grooves. The grooves can cooperate with the rotating block to engage. Therefore, when the rotating block rotates, it can drive the sleeve column to rotate synchronously. On the other hand, it can also drive the corresponding displacement plate to move through the corresponding groove, so that the two displacement plates move closer or further away from each other, so that the corresponding extension plate and the electric telescopic rod move synchronously. When the corresponding electric telescopic rod moves to the bottom of the corresponding connecting hole, the electric telescopic rod starts and its telescopic end extends, so that the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod can fix and engage the corresponding ear plate. Thus, the purpose of automatic engagement is achieved, and the installation efficiency is improved.
[0025] (3) If the folded steel plate needs to be laid near the wall, one of the electric telescopic rods does not need to be extended. Therefore, one of the adjusting cylinders is started, and its telescopic end pulls the corresponding displacement plate to shift the angle, so that the corresponding displacement plate moves away from the rotating block, so that the other displacement plate can still be moved. This avoids the problem that in a relatively narrow environment, it is not easy to install the folded steel plate by manually adjusting multiple positions with a hand-held electric drill, and improves the convenience and speed of snap-fit installation.

[0043] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0044] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0045] Please see Figures 1-13 The present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0046] Example 1, see Figures 1-4 Furthermore, the folding mechanism for the cast aluminum floor splicing unit includes an folding repair component 1. The folding repair component 1 includes a support plate 11, an electric suction cup frame 12 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the support plate 11, a first slide rail 13 arranged on one side of the electric suction cup frame 12, a first slider 14 sliding on the first slide rail 13, a first repair plate 15 arranged below the first slider 14, a second slide rail 16 arranged between the first slide rails 13, a second slider 17 symmetrically sliding on the second slide rail 16, a support member 18 arranged below the second slider 17, and a second repair plate 19 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support member 18.
[0047] Before repairing the deformed folded steel plate, the worker can hold the bearing plate 11 and press the two electric suction cup frames 12 onto the top of the corresponding two cast aluminum floor plates 21, so that the two ends of the bearing plate 11 are flush with the sides of the cast aluminum floor plates 21. Then, the worker inserts the deformed folded steel plate from above one end of the two first repair plates 15, so that the deformed folded steel plate is above the two first repair plates 15 and its bottom surface is in contact with the two first repair plates 15. Then, the second slider 17 is activated, which drives the corresponding opening member 18 and the second repair plate 19 to move to opposite ends. During this process, the opening member 18 is activated, which drives the corresponding second repair plate 19 to contact the top surface of the deformed folded steel plate, thereby achieving the purpose of repairing the folded steel plate. This ensures the uniformity of the force on the folded steel plate and is also conducive to the neat placement of wires.
[0048] After the folded steel plate is repaired, the first slider 14 is activated, which drives the corresponding first repair plate 15 to move away from each other, so that the folded steel plate located above the two first repair plates 15 falls directly to the top of the corresponding ear plate 24 and fits against the top of the ear plate 24.
[0049] It should be noted that both the first slider 14 and the second slider 17 are electric sliders.
[0050] See Figures 1-4 Furthermore, the first slide rail 13 and the second slide rail 16 are vertically distributed, and the first repair plate 15 and the second repair plate 19 are both continuously bent; the support member 18 includes a pneumatic gripper 181 and a clamping plate 182 symmetrically arranged at the telescopic end of the pneumatic gripper 181; the top of the pneumatic gripper 181 is connected to the bottom of the second slider 17, and the side wall of the clamping plate 182 away from the pneumatic gripper 181 is connected to the corresponding second repair plate 19.
[0051] When the pneumatic gripper 181 is activated, its telescopic end can drive the corresponding clamping plates 182 to move closer or further apart, thereby driving the corresponding second repair plate 19 to move synchronously and to fit the second repair plate 19 against the top surface of the deformed folded steel plate, thus achieving the purpose of repairing the folded steel plate; thereby ensuring the uniformity of the force on the folded steel plate and also facilitating the neat placement of wires.
[0052] Example 2, see Figures 5-8 Furthermore, the connection system uses the aforementioned folding mechanism for the splicing unit of cast aluminum flooring, including the cast aluminum flooring body 2, with connecting components 3 evenly arranged around the perimeter of the cast aluminum flooring body 2.
[0053] See Figures 5-8 Furthermore, the cast aluminum floor body 2 includes a cast aluminum floor 21, support bases 22 evenly arranged around the cast aluminum floor 21, support columns 23 arranged on the top of the support bases 22, ear plates 24 arranged at one end of the support columns 23, and partition seats 25 arranged on the top of the ear plates 24; the support column 23 includes a bottom column 231, a middle column 232 arranged at one end of the bottom column 231, and a top column 233 arranged at the end of the middle column 232 away from the bottom column 231. The end of the bottom column 231 away from the middle column 232 is connected to the top of the support base 22, and the end of the top column 233 away from the middle column 232 is connected to the bottom of the ear plates 24.
[0054] Before installing the cast aluminum floor 21, the workers need to swing the support base 22 in a square shape on the ground so that the four support bases 22 and one cast aluminum floor 21 are installed as a group. Then, the four corners of the cast aluminum floor 21 are placed on the corresponding ear plate 24 so that one corner of the cast aluminum floor 21 is located in one corner of the corresponding partition seat 25, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the position.
[0055] At this point, the splicing unit 4 is placed between every two cast aluminum floor panels 21.
[0056] See Figures 5-8 Furthermore, the top of the ear plate 24 is evenly provided with connecting holes 241, the partition seat 25 is cross-shaped, and the top of the partition seat 25 is evenly provided with partition strips 251.
[0057] The design of the divider strip 251 further limits the four corners of the cast aluminum floor 21.
[0058] Example 3: While the technical solutions of Examples 1 and 2 address the issue that workers in the prior art typically only visually inspect the folded steel plate and support frame for obvious deformation or damage, and cannot correct or repair existing deformations, leading to uneven stress on the folded steel plate between the support frames and causing structural loosening and floor shaking during long-term use, thus compromising structural stability, and considering that one of the main functions of the folded steel plate is to provide neat space for electrical wires, deformation of the folded steel plate may prevent the wires from being neatly placed in their intended positions, or even result in the wires being squeezed or twisted, affecting their lifespan, potentially causing electrical faults, increasing maintenance costs, and posing safety hazards, the following solution remains unresolved: existing installation methods are mostly manual, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; furthermore, in confined spaces, manually operating a handheld drill requires adjusting multiple positions, making it difficult to install the folded steel plate. Therefore, the following solution is proposed:
[0059] See Figures 9-13 Furthermore, the connecting assembly 3 includes a fixed shell 31, a rotating block 32 disposed within the fixed shell 31, displacement plates 33 disposed symmetrically on both sides of the rotating block 32, an extension plate 34 disposed at one end of the displacement plate 33, and an electric telescopic rod 35 disposed at the top of the extension plate 34.
[0060] See Figures 9-13 Furthermore, the fixed shell 31 is boat-shaped and is fitted onto the central column 232. The top of the fixed shell 31 is connected to the bottom of the ear plate 24. The rotating block 32 is cross-shaped and has a sleeve post 321 inside. The sleeve post 321 is fitted onto the central column 232, and the bottom of the rotating block 32 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the fixed shell 31.
[0061] See Figures 9-13 Furthermore, the top column 233 is provided with an annular slide rail 36 near the middle column 232. An electric ring block 361 slides evenly on the annular slide rail 36. A connecting rod 362 is provided below the electric ring block 361. The end of the connecting rod 362 away from the electric ring block 361 is connected to the top of the rotating block 32.
[0062] The electric ring block 361 is activated and slides in a ring along the annular slide rail 36. It drives the rotating block 32 to rotate via the corresponding connecting rod 362. Since the rotating block 32 is cross-shaped and contains a sleeve post 321, and the sidewall of the displacement plate 33 has evenly spaced grooves 331 that engage with the rotating block 32, the rotating block 32 rotates synchronously. Simultaneously, the grooves 331 also drive the corresponding displacement plate 33 to move, causing the two displacement plates 33 to move closer or further apart. This causes the corresponding extension plate 34 and the electric telescopic rod 35 to move synchronously. When the electric telescopic rod 35 moves below the corresponding connecting hole 241, it activates, extending its telescopic end to securely engage the corresponding ear plate 24. This achieves automatic engagement and improves installation efficiency.
[0063] See Figures 9-13 Furthermore, grooves 331 are evenly provided on the side wall of the displacement plate 33, and the grooves 331 can engage with the rotating block 32; the bottom of the displacement plate 33 is also rotatably connected to the main slider 332, and a main slide rail 333 is provided below the main slider 332. The main slider 332 can slide on the main slide rail 333, and the main slide rail 333 is located inside the fixed shell 31. The bottom of the main slide rail 333 is connected to the inner bottom of the fixed shell 31.
[0064] During the process of the two displacement plates 33 moving closer or further apart, the corresponding main slider 332 will also slide on the corresponding main slide rail 333, thereby achieving the purpose of guidance.
[0065] See Figures 9-13 Furthermore, through grooves 311 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the fixed shell 31. The through grooves 311 are distributed in opposite directions. Secondary slide rails 312 are also provided on the outer walls of both sides of the fixed shell 31. The secondary slide rails 312 are distributed in opposite directions and symmetrically. Secondary sliders 313 are slidably provided on the secondary slide rails 312.
[0066] The secondary slider 313 is also equipped with an adjusting cylinder 314, which is inclined and the telescopic end of the adjusting cylinder 314 is connected to the side wall of the corresponding displacement plate 33.
[0067] When the folded steel plate needs to be laid near the wall, one of the electric telescopic rods 35 does not need to extend. Therefore, one of the adjusting cylinders 314 is activated, and its telescopic end pulls the corresponding displacement plate 33 to shift its angle, so that the corresponding displacement plate 33 moves away from the rotating block 32. This allows the other displacement plate 33 to move in the same way. This avoids the problem of manually adjusting multiple positions with a handheld electric drill in a relatively narrow environment, which makes it difficult to install the folded steel plate. It improves the convenience and speed of snap-fit installation.
[0068] Obviously, the embodiments described above are merely some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
