[0019] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This invention provides a technical solution: a prefabricated building exterior wall and floor decking connection component for wind farms, comprising a building exterior wall 1 and a floor decking 2. The surface of the building exterior wall 1 has a threaded hole for threaded connection of a threaded rod 3. A sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 3. A sleeve insertion cavity 5 is provided on the surface of the floor decking 2. L-shaped fixing plates 7 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the floor decking 2 by fixing bolts 9. Fixing plates 6 are jointly fixedly installed on the left side of the building exterior wall 1 by fixing bolts 8 on the surfaces of both L-shaped fixing plates 7. Reinforcing components are provided on the surfaces of both L-shaped fixing plates 7 to enhance the connection performance between the building exterior wall 1 and the floor decking 2. The connection is achieved by installing the threaded rod 3 on the surface of the building exterior wall 1, and then threading the threaded rod 3... Connecting sleeve 4 increases the radius of threaded rod 3, making it thicker and enhancing its load-bearing capacity. Then, the floor deck 2 with sleeve inserted into cavity 5 is hoisted, ensuring the floor deck 2 and sleeve 4 are on the same horizontal line. The sleeve inserted into cavity 5 is aligned with the floor deck 2 for connection. After connection, L-shaped fixing plates 7 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the floor deck 2 using fixing bolts 9, and fixing bolts 8 are installed on the surface of the L-shaped fixing plates 7. Fixing plate 6 is installed on the left side of the building exterior wall 1, and fixing plate 6 and L-shaped fixing plate 7 are connected by fixing bolts 8. This completes the fixing installation of the upper and lower sides of the floor deck 2. After installation, the reinforcement components improve the connection and stability between the floor deck 2 and the building exterior wall 1.

[0021] To improve the connection stability between the building exterior wall 1 and the floor deck 2, the reinforcement components further include a connecting seat 11 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the L-shaped fixing plate 7. A connecting rod 12 is hinged to the surface of the connecting seat 11. An L-shaped rod 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 12. An arc-shaped insert rod 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the L-shaped rod 13. Slots for the arc-shaped insert rod 14 are provided on the surfaces of both the building exterior wall 1 and the L-shaped fixing plate 7. A sleeve block 18 is slidably fitted onto the surface of the connecting rod 12. A support plate 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 12. The surface of the support plate 20 and the sleeve block 18... A spring 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sleeve block 18. A connecting rod 21 is hinged to the surface of the connecting rod 12. A connecting rod 32 is hinged to the surface of the connecting rod 12. The upper end of the connecting rod 21 is hinged to the lower end of the connecting rod 32. An arc-shaped insert rod 23 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 32. A slot 2 for inserting the arc-shaped insert rod 23 is provided on the surface of the exterior wall 1 of the building. A driving component is provided on the surface of the L-shaped fixing plate 7 to drive the arc-shaped insert rod 14 and the arc-shaped insert rod 23 into the slot 1 and slot 2 respectively. After installation, the sleeve block 18 is subjected to a resisting force on the right side by the action of the driving component. Furthermore, under the action of spring 19, the sleeve block 18 exerts a leftward force on the connecting rod 12, thereby causing the connecting rod 12 to rotate counterclockwise. This counterclockwise rotation of the connecting rod 12 causes the L-shaped rod 13 to rotate to the left. The movement of the L-shaped rod 13 causes the arc-shaped insert rod 14 to insert into slot 1. Slot 1 consists of an L-shaped fixing plate 7 and the building exterior wall 1. The arc-shaped insert rod 14 can rotate into slot 1, thus creating a tight connection between the L-shaped fixing plate 7 and the building exterior wall 1. With the continued extension of the extension rod 17, since the arc-shaped insert rod 14 has been inserted to the bottom of slot 1, the arc-shaped... When the insertion rod 14 stops moving, the extension rod 17 continues to extend. The elastic force of the spring 19 is insufficient to stop the sleeve block 18 from moving along the connecting rod 12. The sleeve block 18 moves upward along the connecting rod 12. Through the movement of the sleeve block 18, the connecting rod 21 moves upward and rotates. Through the movement of the connecting rod 21, the connecting rod 32 rotates. Through the rotation of the connecting rod 32, the arc-shaped insertion rod 23 is inserted into the slot 2 of the building exterior wall 1, thereby hooking the building exterior wall 1 and making the connection between the building exterior wall 1 and the L-shaped fixing plate 7 tighter, thus achieving a stable installation of the floor deck 2.

[0022] To drive the arc-shaped insert rod 14 and arc-shaped insert rod 23 into slots 1 and 2, the driving component further includes a connecting seat 2 15 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the L-shaped fixing plate 7. A connecting cylinder 16 is hinged to the surface of the connecting seat 2 15. A threaded rod 24 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 16. An extension rod 17 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 24. The end of the extension rod 17 is hinged to the surface of the sleeve block 18. A through hole 1 is provided on the surface of the connecting cylinder 16 for the rotating rod 26 to pass through and rotatably connect to it. The left end of the rotating rod 26 is connected to the surface of the threaded rod 24 via a bevel gear transmission mechanism 25. By rotating the rotating rod 26, the threaded rod 24 is rotated under the action of the bevel gear transmission mechanism 25. The rotation of the threaded rod 24 causes the extension rod 17 to extend. Figure 7 As shown, the extension of the extension rod 17 causes the sleeve block 18 to be subjected to the abutment force on the right side. Under the action of the spring 19, the sleeve block 18 exerts a leftward force on the connecting rod 12, thereby causing the connecting rod 12 to rotate counterclockwise. Through the movement of the connecting rod 12, with the cooperation of the above-mentioned components, the arc-shaped insert rod 14 and the arc-shaped insert rod 23 can be inserted into the slot 1 and slot 2, which can further improve the connection stability between the building exterior wall 1 and the floor deck 2.

[0023] To further improve the connection and stability between the floor deck 2 and the exterior wall 1, a concrete injection hole 10 is provided on the surface of the floor deck 2, which is connected to the sleeve insertion cavity 5. By injecting concrete into the concrete injection hole 10, the concrete flows into the sleeve insertion cavity 5, and the concrete solidifies and bonds the sleeve insertion cavity 5 and the sleeve 4, thereby improving the connection and stability between the floor deck 2 and the exterior wall 1.

[0024] To further improve the stability between the L-shaped fixing plate 7 and the floor deck 2, a waterproof mortar layer 28 is provided on the lower surface of the L-shaped fixing plate 7 located above the floor deck 2. The waterproof mortar layer 28 is bonded to the upper surface of the floor deck 2. By providing the waterproof mortar layer 28, which has good weather resistance, durability, impermeability, density, and extremely high adhesion as well as strong waterproof and anti-corrosion effects, it can prevent the fine gaps between the floor deck 2 and the L-shaped fixing plate 7 from being eroded by weathering and other reasons.

[0025] To further improve the practicality of the floor deck 2, a polyethylene foam rod 27 is provided on the upper surface of the L-shaped fixing plate 7 located below the floor deck 2. The upper surface of the polyethylene foam rod 27 is attached to the lower surface of the floor deck 2, and the polyethylene foam rod 27 can play the roles of heat preservation, waterproofing and sound insulation.

[0026] To prevent damage to the L-shaped fixing plate 7 when fixing bolt 29 is used, a pad 29 is further provided on the lower surface of fixing bolt 29.

[0027] To facilitate the rotation of the handle 30, the end of the rotating rod 26 is further fixedly connected to the handle 30, and the surface of the handle 30 is textured.

[0028] To prevent the pad 29 from rusting, the pad 29 is further made of rust-proof galvanized sheet.

[0029] To prevent external moisture from seeping into the surface of the fixing bolts 8 through the gap between the fixing plate 6 and the exterior wall 1 of the building, causing it to rust, the fixing plate 6 is further further secured with sealing waterproof strips 31 on both the upper and lower sides, with the sides of the sealing waterproof strips 31 adhering to the surface of the exterior wall 1 of the building.

[0030] Working principle: In this wind farm, the prefabricated building exterior wall and floor decking connection components are used by installing a threaded rod 3 on the surface of the exterior wall 1, followed by threading a sleeve 4 onto the surface of the threaded rod 3. The sleeve 4 increases the radius of the threaded rod 3, making it thicker and enhancing its load-bearing capacity. The floor decking 2, with the sleeve inserted into the cavity 5, is then hoisted, ensuring that the floor decking 2 and the sleeve 4 are on the same horizontal line. The sleeve inserted into the cavity 5 is aligned with the floor decking 2 for mating. After mating, two bolts 9 are used to fix the floor decking 2 on both the upper and lower sides. Install the L-shaped fixing plate 7 and fix the fixing bolts 8 on the surface of the L-shaped fixing plate 7. Install the fixing plate 6 on the left side of the building exterior wall 1. The fixing plate 6 and the L-shaped fixing plate 7 are connected by the fixing bolts 8, thus completing the fixing installation of the upper and lower sides of the floor deck 2. After installation, concrete is injected into the concrete injection hole 10. The concrete flows into the sleeve insertion cavity 5. The concrete solidifies and bonds between the sleeve insertion cavity 5 and the sleeve 4, thereby improving the connection and stability between the floor deck 2 and the building exterior wall 1.

[0031] After installation, rotating the rotating rod 26, under the action of the bevel gear transmission mechanism 25, drives the threaded rod 24 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 24 causes the extension rod 17 to extend. Figure 7As shown, the extension of the extension rod 17 causes the sleeve block 18 to be subjected to a resisting force on the right side. Under the action of the spring 19, the sleeve block 18 exerts a leftward force on the connecting rod 12, thereby causing the connecting rod 12 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the connecting rod 12 causes the L-shaped rod 13 to rotate to the left. The movement of the L-shaped rod 13 causes the arc-shaped insert rod 14 to be inserted into the slot 1. The slot 1 consists of the L-shaped fixing plate 7 and the outer wall 1 of the building. The arc-shaped insert rod 14 can rotate into the slot 1, thereby making a tight connection between the L-shaped fixing plate 7 and the outer wall 1 of the building. As the extension rod 17 continues to extend, due to the arc-shaped insert rod 14... 4 has been inserted to the bottom of slot one, and the arc-shaped insert 14 no longer moves. At this time, the extension rod 17 continues to extend, and the elastic force of the spring 19 is insufficient to continue to block the sleeve block 18 from moving along the connecting rod 12. The sleeve block 18 moves upward along the connecting rod 12. Through the movement of the sleeve block 18, the connecting rod 21 moves upward and rotates. Through the movement of the connecting rod 21, the connecting rod 32 rotates. Through the rotation of the connecting rod 32, the arc-shaped insert 23 is inserted into slot two of the building exterior wall 1, thereby hooking the building exterior wall 1, making the connection between the building exterior wall 1 and the L-shaped fixing plate 7 tighter, thus achieving a stable installation of the floor deck 2.

[0032] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
