Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a panel frame and a connecting component for splicing panel frames. Background Technology
[0002] There are two types of houses constructed using steel structural components. One type involves assembling steel structural components to form a house mold, then pouring concrete into the mold to form the house. The other type involves directly assembling steel structural components to form a steel structure house. During the construction of steel structure houses, the walls and other structures need to be installed. The walls are generally composed of panels that cannot be directly connected. Typically, an external panel frame needs to be built first, and then the panels are installed to complete the wall assembly. The frame usually uses single-piece steel profiles. However, existing steel structure roofs have the following drawbacks:
[0003] When installing panel frames, they are often formed by welding connecting components and connecting beams, which is slow and inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a plate frame and a connecting component for splicing the plate frame, which improves the installation efficiency of a single steel frame and facilitates the installation of plates of different numbers and sizes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a connection assembly for splicing panel frames, comprising:
[0006] A polygonal connecting post is provided for detachable insertion of the connecting ends of at least two connecting beams; and a snap-fit device is provided for simultaneously locking the connecting ends of all connecting beams inserted into the polygonal connecting post to the polygonal connecting post; wherein...
[0007] Each side of the polygonal connecting column is provided with a slot radially for inserting one end of any of the connecting beams. The polygonal connecting column is also provided with a receiving space at a position avoiding all the slots, for accommodating the snap-fit and allowing the snap-fit to move a certain distance axially. The receiving space includes a main shaft hole that passes through the polygonal connecting column axially, a plurality of side slots that extend from the main shaft hole toward each side of the polygonal connecting column and are parallel to the corresponding slots, and a plurality of side shaft holes for connecting the plurality of side slots to the corresponding slots.
[0008] The snap-fit component includes a drive shaft that can be movably inserted into the spindle hole, a retaining ring sleeved on the outer periphery of the drive shaft, multiple connecting rods that are radially fixed outside the retaining ring and can be respectively accommodated in multiple side slots, and multiple snap pins that are respectively vertically fixed to the ends of the multiple connecting rods and can be respectively moved along multiple side shaft holes.
[0009] When the connecting end of the connecting beam is inserted into the slot of the polygonal connecting post, the driving shaft is driven to move along the main shaft hole, and at the same time, multiple locking posts are driven to move along the corresponding side shaft holes and extend into the corresponding slots, so that the connecting end of the connecting beam inserted into the slot is locked by the corresponding locking posts.
[0010] Preferably, the drive shaft has a first end and a second end arranged axially, the retaining ring is movably sleeved at a position adjacent to the first end, and the first end is formed with an amplifying head for pushing the retaining ring to move forward when the drive shaft moves along the main shaft hole, thereby driving the plurality of retaining pins to move along the corresponding side shaft hole and extend into the corresponding slot.
[0011] Preferably, each of the locking pins is elastically connected to the sidewall of the corresponding side slot by an axially telescopic elastic member, and the elastic member has an elastic tendency to pull the locking pin in the opposite direction to disengage the locking pin from the corresponding slot.
[0012] Preferably, the spindle hole includes a smooth hole section communicating with the side groove and a threaded hole section communicating with the smooth hole section for threaded connection of the drive shaft. The diameter of the smooth hole section is larger than the diameter of the threaded hole section to accommodate the magnifying head.
[0013] Preferably, the second end of the drive shaft extends to the outside of the polygonal connecting post and is threadedly connected with an anti-loosening nut.
[0014] A plate frame, consisting of multiple connecting components and multiple connecting beams spliced together in a grid pattern.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1) By opening multiple slots at equal angles on the outside of the polygonal connecting column, and having the slots correspond to the connecting ends of the connecting beams, multiple connecting beams can be installed on the outside of the polygonal connecting column, thus facilitating the formation of a multi-frame structure. This eliminates the need for a single panel frame to correspond to a general panel when installing panels, saving materials and making installation easier.
[0017] 2) By using multiple slots on the polygonal connecting column to correspond to multiple locking columns, during the installation of the drive shaft, the drive shaft can move along the main shaft hole, causing the retaining rings fitted on the outer periphery of the drive shaft to push each locking column to move and penetrate into the corresponding slots. This allows the locking columns that extend into the connecting end cups of the connecting beam inserted into the slots to be locked in place, facilitating the fixed connection between the polygonal connecting column and the connecting beam. This eliminates the need to weld the polygonal connecting column and the connecting beam, thus improving work efficiency.
[0018] 3) The drive shaft is threaded to the threaded section of the main shaft hole and is secured by a lock nut, thereby improving the stability of the retaining ring. When the retaining ring is tightened, the connecting end of the connecting beam inserted into the slot is secured by the corresponding inserting retaining post, thus completing the connection between the polygonal connecting post and the connecting beam body. The connection work can be completed by tightening only one drive shaft, improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a connecting assembly for splicing panel frames. The connecting assembly 2 includes a polygonal connecting post 201 into which the connecting ends 102 of at least two connecting beams 1 can be detachably inserted; and a snap-fit member 207 that can simultaneously lock the connecting ends 102 of all connecting beams 1 inserted into the polygonal connecting post 201 together with the polygonal connecting post 201. Each side of the polygonal connecting post 201 is provided with a slot 202 radially for inserting a connecting end 102 of any connecting beam 1. The polygonal connecting post 201 is also provided with a receiving space for accommodating the snap-fit member 207 and allowing the snap-fit member 207 to move a certain distance axially at a position avoiding all slots 202. The receiving space includes a main shaft hole that passes through the polygonal connecting post 201 axially, a plurality of side slots 205 that extend from the main shaft hole toward each side of the polygonal connecting post 201 and are parallel to the corresponding slots 202, and a plurality of side shaft holes 206 for connecting the plurality of side slots 205 to the corresponding slots 202.
[0032] Furthermore, the snap-fit component 207 includes a drive shaft 208 that can be movably inserted into the spindle hole, a snap ring 2071 sleeved on the outer periphery of the drive shaft 208, multiple connecting rods 2072 that are radially fixed to the snap ring 2071 and can be respectively accommodated in multiple side slots 205, and multiple snap pins 2073 that are respectively vertically fixed to the ends of the multiple connecting rods 2072 and can be respectively moved along multiple side shaft holes 206. It should be noted that when the connecting end 102 of the connecting beam 1 is inserted into the slot 202 of the polygonal connecting post 201, the driving shaft 208 moves along the main shaft hole and simultaneously drives multiple locking posts 2073 to move along the corresponding side shaft hole 206 and extend into the corresponding slot 202, so that the connecting end 102 of the connecting beam 1 inserted into the slot 202 is locked by the corresponding locking posts 2073. In this embodiment, the connecting beam 1 includes a beam body 101 and connecting ends 102 located at both ends. The connecting end 102 is a connecting end whose shape is adapted to the slot 202. The connecting end is provided with a slot 103 for the locking posts 2073 to be locked in for fixation.
[0033] Please see Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the drive shaft 208 has a first end and a second end arranged axially. A retaining ring 2071 is movably sleeved near the first end, and the first end has an enlarged head 2081 for pushing the retaining ring 2071 forward when the drive shaft 208 moves forward along the main shaft hole, thereby driving multiple retaining posts 2073 to move along the corresponding side shaft holes 206 and extend into the corresponding slots 202. Preferably, each retaining post 7073 is elastically connected to the side wall of the corresponding side slot 205 by an axially telescopic elastic member 2074, and the elastic member 2074 has an elastic tendency to pull the retaining post 2073 to move in the opposite direction so that the retaining post 2073 disengages from the corresponding slot 202. In this embodiment, the elastic member 2074 is a spring.
[0034] Please see Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the spindle hole includes a smooth hole section 203 that communicates with the side groove 202 and a threaded hole section 204 that communicates with the smooth hole section 203 for threaded connection of the drive shaft 208. The diameter of the smooth hole section 203 is larger than the diameter of the threaded hole section 204 to accommodate the magnifying head 2081. The part of the drive shaft 208 located in the threaded hole section 204 is a bolt rod 2082, and the second end of the drive shaft 208 extends to the outside of the polygonal connecting post 201 and is threadedly connected with an anti-loosening nut 2083 to achieve the anti-loosening effect.
[0035] This invention also discloses a plate frame, which is spliced into a grid shape by multiple connecting components 2 and multiple connecting beams 1 as described above. For example, when the polygonal connecting column 201 is quadrilateral, the four connecting beams 1 and the four connecting components 2 form a grid. Figure 1 The plate frame shown, with ten connecting beams 1 and eight connecting components 2 forming a structure as follows: Figure 7 The four-shaped plate frame shown consists of twelve connecting beams 1 and nine connecting components 2, forming a structure as follows: Figure 8 The grid-shaped panel frame shown can be used as an analogy.
[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the connecting assembly for splicing panel frames is installed by inserting the connecting end 102 of one end of the beam 101 into one of the slots 202 of the polygonal connecting column 201. Then, the bolt rod 2082 is passed through the inside of the retaining ring 2071 and screwed into the threaded hole section 204 using a screwdriver. During screwing, the magnifying head 2081 enters the mounting groove 203 and presses the retaining ring 2071, pushing the retaining column 2073 towards the inside of the slot 202 and engaging it into the slot 103 on the connecting end 102. This facilitates the connection and fixation of the polygonal connecting column 201 and the beam 101, facilitating the formation of the panel frame. Finally, an anti-loosening nut 2083 is screwed onto the outside of the bolt rod 2082 on the back of the polygonal connecting column 201 for anti-loosening treatment. During installation, the four connecting beams 1 and four connecting assemblies 2 form as shown in the diagram. Figure 1 The plate frame shown consists of ten connecting beams 1 and eight connecting components 2, forming a structure as follows: Figure 7 The four-shaped plate frame shown consists of twelve connecting beams 1 and nine connecting components 2, forming a structure as follows: Figure 8 The four panel frames in the grid shape shown can be used as a whole.
