Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of roofing construction tools, and in particular to a roof panel installation wrench. Background Technology
[0002] Concealed roof panels typically have snap-fit sections at the ends and raised sections further away from the ends. During the splicing and installation of the roof panels, the mounting clips play a crucial role. Workers use the mounting clips to firmly fix the snap-fit sections of the roof panels to the building purlins, while cleverly placing the snap-fit sections within the raised sections of adjacent roof panels. This conceals both the ends of the roof panels and the mounting clips, resulting in better overall integrity and waterproofing of the roof.
[0003] However, traditional installation methods have many drawbacks. During installation, workers need to use a measuring tape to repeatedly measure the distance between adjacent roof panels before they can be fixed. This process is not only tedious and complicated, but also consumes a lot of time and energy. In addition, the roof panels are prone to sliding during the measurement and fixing process. Once the roof panels slide, they will deviate from the pre-set positioning position, causing installation deviations, reducing the accuracy of the installation, and bringing potential problems to the subsequent use and maintenance of the roof.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-8In one embodiment of the present invention, a roof panel installation wrench includes a wrench body; the wrench body includes a scale bar 1, one end of which is hinged to a hinge buckle 2, which is used to engage with the engaging portion of the installed roof panel; a sliding block 9 is slidably connected to the scale bar 1, the sliding block 9 is engaged and fixed to the scale bar 1 by a locking component, a fixing frame 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding block 9, a lifting rod 5 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 7, a positioning buckle 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting rod 5, the positioning buckle 4 is used to engage with the engaging portion of the roof panel to be installed, a spring 8 sleeved on the lifting rod 5 is abutted between the positioning buckle 4 and the fixing frame 7, and a grip frame 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting rod 5;
[0034] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The locking assembly includes a pair of snap-fit plates 12 slidably mounted inside the sliding block 9 and extending to the outside of the sliding block 9. The scale rod 1 has a plurality of positioning slots 103 for the snap-fit plates 12 to be inserted and are linearly and equidistantly distributed. The end of the snap-fit plate 12 away from the positioning slot 103 is hinged to a connecting rod 13. The outer end of the connecting rod 13 is hinged to a traction rod 15. The end of the traction rod 15 is provided with a spring 14 sleeved on the traction rod 15 between it and the inner wall of the sliding block 9. The outer end of the traction rod 15 is fixedly connected to a gripping rod 16. The outer side of the gripping rod 16 slides against a gripping frame 11. The gripping frame 11 is fixedly connected to a sliding rod 10. The end of the sliding rod 10 away from the gripping frame 11 passes through the scale rod 1 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding block 9. The traction rod 15 passes through the sliding rod 10 and is slidably connected to it.
[0035] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the positioning buckle 4 on the scale rod 1, hold the second gripping frame 11 and the gripping rod 16 at the same time. The gripping rod 16 drives the traction rod 15 to move away from the sliding block 9. The traction rod 15 drives a pair of snap-fit plates 12 to disengage from the positioning groove 103 of the scale rod 1 through the connecting rod 13. Then, pull the second gripping frame 11 away from the scale rod 1, causing the sliding block 9 to slide along the scale rod 1. Adjust the position of the sliding block 9. After adjusting to the predetermined position, release the gripping rod 16. The snap-fit plate 12 is inserted back into the positioning groove 103 under the action of the second spring 14, thus fixing the sliding block 9 and the positioning buckle 4 on it.
[0036] It should be noted that one end of the roof panel has a snap-fit part, and the other side of the roof panel away from the snap-fit part has a raised part. During the installation of the roof panel, the snap-fit part is fixed to the building purlin by the mounting buckle.
[0037] For details, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 When using the roof panel installation handle, the following steps are included:
[0038] Step 1: According to the roof panel installation design, adjust the position of the sliding block 9 on the scale bar 1, thereby adjusting the position of the positioning buckle 4, and use the locking component to fix and release the sliding block 9;
[0039] Step 2: Hold the holding frame 6 so that the hinge buckle 2 is fastened to the snap-fit part of the installed roof panel;
[0040] Step 3: Lay the installation wrench flat, and then place the roof panel to be installed on top of the installed roof panel, so that the raised part of the roof panel to be installed covers the outside of the snap-fit part of the installed roof panel.
[0041] Step 4: The operator presses one hand on the roof panel to be installed, and holds the holding frame 6 with the other hand and pulls it upward so that the positioning buckle 4 is away from the sliding block 9. Then, the hand pressing on the roof panel to be installed drags the roof panel to be installed laterally so that the snap-fit part of the roof panel to be installed moves below the positioning buckle 4. Finally, the holding frame 6 is released so that the positioning buckle 4 snaps into the snap-fit part of the roof panel to be installed.
[0042] Step 5: After the roof panel to be installed is fixed (the mounting buckle fixes the snap-fit part of the roof panel to be installed to the building purlin), pull the holding frame 6 upward again to disengage the positioning buckle 4 from the snap-fit part. Then rotate the wrench body to rotate the wrench body from the horizontal state to the vertical state. Then lift the entire wrench body to disengage the hinge buckle 2 from the snap-fit part of the previous fixed roof panel.
[0043] Step six: Repeat steps one through five to achieve individual positioning and clamping of multiple roof panels.
[0044] Compared to the traditional manual installation method for roof panels, this invention achieves rapid positioning of the roof panel to be installed through the hinge buckle 2 and the positioning buckle 4, which is adjustable on the scale rod 1. This replaces the traditional tape measure measurement method, improving the accuracy of positioning and the convenience of installation. At the same time, the vertical movement of the positioning buckle 4 driven by the holding frame 6 and the spring 8, in conjunction with the hinge buckle 2, enables the rapid clamping and fixing of the roof panel to be installed. This ensures that the roof panel remains stable during the fixing operation after being positioned, reducing the possibility of misalignment during installation and further improving the convenience and accuracy of installation. In addition, the locking assembly including the sliding rod 10 and the traction rod 15 facilitates the locking and fixing of the sliding block 9, making it easy to adjust the position of the sliding block 9 and the positioning buckle 4.
[0045] Please see Figure 2 Both the hinge buckle 2 and the positioning buckle 4 have inverted J-shaped cross sections. The hinge buckle 2 is rotatably connected to the scale rod 1 through the hinge member 3.
[0046] Specifically, the hinge buckle 2 and positioning buckle 4, with an inverted J-shaped cross-section, facilitate engagement and disengagement with the roof panel, thereby enabling the wrench body to quickly engage and disengage from the roof panel.
[0047] Please see Figure 1 The scale rod 1 is a strip rod with a rectangular cross-section, and multiple equally spaced scale grooves 104 are engraved on its front end surface.
[0048] Specifically, the operator can quickly locate the position of the roof panel to be installed by using the scale on the scale rod 1 corresponding to the positioning buckle 4.
[0049] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The scale rod 1 has a sliding groove 101 for sliding block 9 to slide. The sliding rod 10 passes through the scale rod 1 and extends into the sliding groove 101. The inner wall of the sliding groove 101 has a pair of opposing inner sliding grooves 102. The front and rear outer walls of the sliding block 9 are fixedly connected to protrusions 902, which are slidably nested in the inner sliding grooves 102.
[0050] Specifically, when the sliding rod 10 drives the sliding block 9 to slide in the sliding groove 101, the protrusion 902 slides in the inner sliding groove 102, improving the stability of the sliding block 9 in the lateral sliding.
[0051] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sliding block 9 has a cavity inside, and a through groove 901 communicating with the cavity is opened on the side wall of the sliding block 9. The outer end of the snap-fit plate 12 passes through the through groove 901 and is inserted into the positioning groove 103. The positioning groove 103 communicates with the inner sliding groove 102. The vertical height of the positioning groove 103 is greater than the vertical height of the inner sliding groove 102. The snap-fit plate 12 is a prismatic plate with a T-shaped cross section, and an arc-shaped surface is provided on the outer end of the plate that extends to the outside of the sliding block 9.
[0052] Specifically, the snap-fit plate 12 is positioned on the sliding block 9, and its arc-shaped protruding end facilitates insertion into the positioning groove 103.
[0053] Please see Figure 3 One end of the traction rod 15 facing the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the end plate 1501. One end of the spring 14 abuts against the end plate 1501, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the sliding block 9.
[0054] Specifically, when the traction rod 15 pulls the snap-fit plate 12 away from the positioning groove 103 via the connecting rod 13, the second spring 14 is compressed. When the traction rod 15 is released, the second spring 14 causes the connecting rod 13 to squeeze the snap-fit plate 12 and insert it into the positioning groove 103.
[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The lifting rod 5 has a horizontal cross-section of square, the fixing frame 7 has an inverted L-shaped cross-section, and the fixing frame 7 has a through hole for the lifting rod 5 to pass through. The gripping frame 6 is rectangular and is set parallel to the scale rod 1.
[0056] Specifically, the longitudinal width of the wrench body is reduced by the rectangular frame 6, which is parallel to the scale bar 1, making it easier to carry and use the wrench body. At the same time, the lifting rod 5 with a square horizontal cross section prevents the positioning buckle 4 from rotating during vertical movement, thus improving the stability of the positioning buckle 4 in the locking and positioning of the roof panel.
[0057] In another embodiment of the invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 A handle 17 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the end of the scale rod 1 away from the hinge buckle 2.
[0058] For details, please refer to Figure 8 When a secondary fine-tuning is required on the roof panel to be installed after it has been fixed in place, the operator holds the handle 17 with one hand and the second holding frame 11 and the holding rod 16 with the other hand and pushes the second holding frame 11 laterally. The positioning buckle 4 on the sliding block 9 drives the roof panel to be installed to move laterally, and the position of the roof panel to be installed is adjusted for a second time to adapt to the requirements of the installation spacing of adjacent roof panels in different installation scenarios.
[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
