Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of construction fence technology, and in particular to a fence connector and an aluminum construction fence. Background Technology
[0002] Construction fences are temporary structures used at construction sites or hazardous areas to isolate, protect, and warn against unauthorized personnel and vehicles from entering the construction area, thus preventing safety accidents and protecting the construction site from external interference.
[0003] Construction fences generally consist of a foundation structure, posts, fence panels, and connecting accessories. The posts are mostly made of steel pipes, shaped steel, or plastic, and are vertically fixed to the foundation as the main support. The fence panels are commonly made of materials such as color steel plates, PVC plates, metal mesh, or woven fabric, and are connected to the posts by clips, bolts, or welding to form a continuous isolation barrier.
[0004] The shortcomings of the existing technical solutions are as follows: the connecting parts on the side of the columns are usually installed by welding or fixing with multiple bolts. This connection method is relatively stable, but it is not convenient to replace them once they are damaged or need to be adjusted. At the same time, the fence panels are either large-area panels or assembled from small individual panels into large-area panels, which are inconvenient in terms of transportation and assembly, such as large space occupation and cumbersome operation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a fence connector and an aluminum construction fence, which can solve the problem that the connectors in the prior art are not easy to replace.
[0006] A fence connector includes a fence connecting post, the fence connecting post being hollow inside, and multiple sets of side fixing holes being opened on both sides of the fence connecting post, with side connectors inserted and installed inside the side fixing holes; an inner locking component is placed longitudinally inside the fence connecting post, the inner locking component being used to lock the side connectors inside the fence connecting post.
[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: the side connector includes a connecting plate, the connecting plate having multiple sets of connecting ports, and a locking block that mates with a fixing hole is fixedly provided on one side of the connecting plate, the inner locking component being used to fix the locking block to the fence connecting post.
[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention: each set of locking blocks has a mating groove at its end, and two sets of locking blocks corresponding to each other are fitted together through the mating grooves at their ends. Each pair of mating grooves has a positioning groove at the aligned position on their sides, and the opening direction of each positioning groove is perpendicular to the extension direction of the corresponding locking block. The inner locking component includes a locking post placed longitudinally inside the fence connecting post. After the two sets of positioning grooves are spliced together, their shapes are adapted to the shape of the locking post. The locking post can be inserted into the positioning groove, thereby locking the locking post and preventing it from moving laterally.
[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: upper fixing holes are provided on both sides of the upper end of the fence connecting post, and a connecting beam is inserted inside the upper fixing hole. The two ends of the connecting beam are locked together with the corresponding locking post; an upper cover for sealing the port is provided at the upper end of the fence connecting post.
[0010] An aluminum construction fence including the fence connector as claimed in claim , the device further including a baffle detachably mounted on the tie beam and the connecting plate.
[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the baffle includes a plurality of hinged folding plates, which can be folded together.
[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: a hook for hanging onto the connecting beam is fixedly provided on the folding plate at the end of the baffle.
[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: a photovoltaic lighting device is provided at the upper end of the fence connecting post.
[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: a fixing frame for fixing a photovoltaic lighting device is detachably provided on the fence connecting post.
[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention, the connection port is in the shape of a rounded rectangle.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. During assembly, the locking blocks of the side connectors are inserted into the side fixing holes of the fence connecting posts. Locking blocks at the same horizontal level are tightly joined through mating grooves. After the positioning grooves are aligned, the locking posts are inserted to lock the locking blocks, thus fixing the side connectors. The installation of the connecting beam is similar, using the same principle to fix it with the locking posts. The baffle is hung on the connecting beam via hooks and then fixed to the connecting plate with bolts. Disassembly is performed in the reverse order of installation: loosen the bolts to remove the baffle, pry out the locking posts, and remove the side connectors and connecting beams. The entire process requires no complex tools or operations, significantly improving assembly and disassembly efficiency and reducing labor intensity and time costs compared to traditional welding or numerous bolt fixing methods.
[0017] 2. In this invention, the baffle is composed of multiple hinged folding panels. During storage and transportation, these panels can be folded together, greatly reducing the space occupied and making the overall structure more compact. This facilitates stacking and transportation, reducing transportation costs. Other components of the fence, such as fence connecting posts, side connectors, locking posts, and tie beams, have regular shapes and can be neatly stacked, preventing space waste due to irregular shapes. Furthermore, the connection methods between components are simple, making them less prone to damage from collisions during transportation. Upon arrival at the site of use, it can be quickly converted from a transportation state to an installation state for assembly and use, making the fencing more flexible and efficient for transfer and use between different sites.

[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fence connector, including a fence connecting post 1. The fence connecting post 1 has a hollow internal structure, and multiple sets of side fixing holes 101 are provided on both sides, as shown in the figure. Figure 2As shown, the side fixing holes 101 are used for inserting and installing the side connector 2. A locking post 3 is placed longitudinally inside the fence connecting post 1. The main function of this locking post 3 is to lock the side connector 2 inside the fence connecting post 1. Simultaneously, a top cover 103 is provided at the upper end of the fence connecting post 1 to seal the port. In actual use, simply insert the locking post 3 into the corresponding position inside the fence connecting post 1 so that the locking post 3 can lock the side connector 2, thereby fixing the side connector 2. When disassembly is required, simply open the top cover 103 and pry out the locking post 3 with a wrench or other tools, at which point the side connector 2 can be easily removed. Compared with the traditional method of fixing the connecting ear plate by welding or using a large number of bolts, this structure of the present invention makes the disassembly and installation process more efficient and simple.
[0022] In this embodiment, the side connector 2 specifically includes a connecting plate 201, on which multiple sets of connecting ports 202 are provided. A locking block 203, which mates with a fixing hole, is fixedly provided on one side of the connecting plate 201. The locking post 3 serves to fix the locking block 203 to the fence connecting post 1. Each set of locking blocks 203 has a mating groove 204 at its end. When two sets of corresponding locking blocks 203 are joined together, they will engage with each other through the mating grooves 204 at their ends. Positioning grooves 205 are provided at the aligned positions on the sides of each pair of mating grooves 204. The opening direction of each positioning groove 205 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the corresponding locking block 203, specifically as follows... Figure 4 As shown. When it is necessary to install the side connectors 2 on both sides of the fence connecting post 1, the locking block 203 can be inserted into the side fixing hole 101. At this time, a guide component can be provided on the side fixing hole 101 to ensure the stability of the locking block 203 when it is inserted. When the locking blocks 203 at the same level are spliced together, the protruding part at the end of the locking block 203 will insert into the mating groove 204 of the other, so that the two sets of locking blocks 203 can be tightly spliced together, preparing for the subsequent fixing operation.
[0023] After the two sets of positioning grooves 205 are spliced together, their shapes match the shape of the locking pin 3, allowing the locking pin 3 to be accurately inserted into the positioning groove 205, thus locking the locking pin 3 and preventing it from moving laterally. Figure 4 As shown, since the locking block 203 can only move axially inside the fence connecting post 1, and the positioning groove 205 tightly engages with the locking post 3, the locking block 203 cannot move axially, meaning the locking block 203 is completely locked, thus achieving a secure fixation of the side connecting piece 2. During assembly, the locking blocks 203 of the side connecting piece 2 will all enter the fence connecting post 1, and the connecting plate 201, acting as a limiting component, ensures that the final position of the positioning groove 205 is at the center of the fence connecting post 1.
[0024] Furthermore, upper fixing holes 102 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the fence connecting post 1, and a connecting beam 6 is inserted inside the upper fixing hole 102. The two ends of the connecting beam 6 are provided with the same structure as the mating groove 204 and the positioning groove 205, so it can be mutually locked with the corresponding locking post 3. Its fixing principle is the same as the fixing method of the side connecting piece 2 mentioned above, and will not be described again here.
[0025] A prominent feature of this fence connector is that the locking blocks of the side connectors insert into the side fixing holes of the fence connecting posts. Locking blocks at the same level are tightly joined through mating grooves. After aligning the positioning grooves, the locking posts are inserted to lock the locking blocks, thus securing the side connectors. The installation of the connecting beam is similar, using the same principle to fix it to the locking posts. The baffle is hung onto the connecting beam via hooks and then secured to the connecting plate with bolts. Disassembly is performed in the reverse order of installation: loosen the bolts, remove the baffle, pry out the locking posts, and remove the side connectors and connecting beams. The entire process requires no complex tools or operations, significantly improving assembly and disassembly efficiency and reducing labor intensity and time costs compared to traditional welding or numerous bolt fixation methods.
[0026] The present invention also provides an aluminum construction fence, the fence device further comprising a baffle 4 detachably mounted on the connecting beam 6 and the connecting plate 201. The baffle 4 is composed of a plurality of hinged folding plates 401, which can be folded together to occupy less space during storage and transportation, making the overall structure more compact.
[0027] Furthermore, hooks 402 for attaching to the connecting beam 6 are fixedly installed on the folding plate 401 at the end of the baffle 4. After the fence connecting post 1 is fixed, the hooks 402 can be attached to the connecting beam 6. At this time, the folding plate 401 will automatically open under the action of gravity and be laid sideways on the connecting plates 201 on both sides. The connecting port 202 on the connecting plate 201 is rounded rectangular, and openings for bolts are also provided on both sides of the folding plate 401. The folding plate 401 and the connecting plate 201 are fixed together with bolts, thereby completing the firm fixation of the baffle 4.
[0028] In another specific embodiment, a photovoltaic lighting device 5 is also provided at the upper end of the fence connecting post 1. The photovoltaic lighting device 5 includes a photovoltaic power generation module, a lighting module, a control module, and an energy storage module. The photovoltaic power generation module generates electricity through the photovoltaic effect and stores this electricity in the energy storage module. At night, the lighting module can be turned on through the control module to illuminate the raw materials, tools, and equipment on the ground inside the fence. A fixing bracket 501 for fixing the photovoltaic lighting device 5 is detachably provided on the fence connecting post 1. In addition, the photovoltaic lighting device 5 can be selectively installed, and users can install or remove it according to actual needs, thus offering high flexibility.
[0029] A prominent feature of this aluminum construction fence is its composition of multiple hinged folding panels. These panels can be folded together during storage and transportation, significantly reducing space occupation and creating a more compact overall structure. This facilitates stacking and transport, lowering transportation costs. Other fence components, such as connecting posts, side connectors, locking posts, and tie beams, have regular shapes and can be neatly stacked, preventing space waste due to irregular shapes. Furthermore, the simple connection methods between components minimize the risk of damage from collisions during transport. Upon arrival at the site, the fence can be quickly converted from its transport state to its installation state for assembly and use, making its transfer and use between different locations more flexible and efficient.
[0030] Working principle: During installation, the locking blocks 203 of the side connector 2 are aligned with the side fixing holes 101 on both sides of the fence connecting post 1 and inserted. As the locking blocks 203 at the same horizontal position are inserted, when they approach each other, the protruding part at the end of the locking block 203 will insert into the mating groove 204 opened at the other end. In this way, the two sets of corresponding locking blocks 203 are tightly spliced together through the mating groove 204. After the locking blocks 203 are spliced, it is necessary to check whether the positioning groove 205 is accurately aligned to prepare for the subsequent insertion of the locking post 3.
[0031] Because the shape of the two sets of positioning grooves 205 after being spliced together matches the shape of the locking post 3, the locking post 3 can be accurately inserted into the positioning groove 205. After insertion, the locking post 3 locks the positioning groove 205, preventing it from moving laterally. At the same time, because the locking block 203 can only move axially inside the fence connecting post 1, and the positioning groove 205 tightly holds the locking post 3, the locking block 203 also cannot move axially, that is, the locking block 203 is completely locked, thus achieving a firm fixation of the side connector 2. During assembly, the locking blocks 203 of the side connector 2 will all enter the fence connecting post 1, and the connecting plate 201, as a limiting component, ensures that the final position of the positioning groove 205 is at the center of the fence connecting post 1.
[0032] After the side connector 2 is fixed, the top cover 103 is installed on the upper end of the fence connecting post 1 to seal the port, which protects the internal structure and prevents debris from entering.
[0033] Before inserting the locking post 3, align both ends of the connecting beam 6 with the upper fixing holes 102 on both sides of the upper end of the fence connecting post 1 and insert them. The two ends of the connecting beam 6 have the same structure as the mating groove 204 and positioning groove 205. After insertion, using the same fixing principle as the side connecting piece 2, lock the connecting beam 6 with the corresponding locking post 3 for mutual locking. After the fence connecting post 1 is fixed, hang the hook 402 fixed on the folding plate 401 at the end of the baffle 4 onto the connecting beam 6. At this time, the folding plate 401 will automatically open under gravity and lie sideways on the connecting plates 201 on both sides. Pass the bolts through the corresponding openings on the folding plate 401 and the connecting plate 201, and tighten them with nuts to securely fix the baffle 4.
[0034] If users have lighting needs, they can choose to install a photovoltaic lighting device 5. The mounting bracket 501 for securing the photovoltaic lighting device 5 is detachably installed on the upper end of the fence connecting post 1. Then, the photovoltaic lighting device 5 is installed on the mounting bracket 501, ensuring a secure installation. The photovoltaic lighting device 5 includes a photovoltaic power generation module, a lighting module, a control module, and an energy storage module. During the day, when there is sunlight, the photovoltaic power generation module generates electricity through the photovoltaic effect and stores this electricity in the energy storage module. At night, the lighting module is activated via the control module, emitting light to illuminate the raw materials, tools, and equipment on the ground inside the fence, facilitating related operations and inspections by workers at night.
[0035] When it is necessary to dismantle the fence, proceed in the reverse order of installation. Loosen the bolts securing the baffle 4 and remove the baffle 4. Next, open the upper cover 103 at the top of the fence connecting post 1, and use a wrench or other tools to pry out the locking post 3. At this point, the side connector 2 and the connecting beam 6 can be easily removed, completing the dismantling of the fence.
[0036] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely a few specific examples of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
