Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building industrialization and assembly, and specifically to a modular lightweight wall connection and leveling component and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] With the promotion of green building and prefabricated construction, steel-structured modular apartments have been widely used due to their fast construction speed and good environmental performance. However, in the current interior construction of modular apartments, the installation of lightweight walls (such as gypsum board, calcium silicate board, etc.) still largely relies on traditional on-site construction methods. The current common practice is to directly fix the top and bottom joists of the lightweight walls to the steel structural beams, columns, or floor slabs of the building using self-tapping screws, nails, or welding. This traditional connection method has the following significant drawbacks: 1. Damage to the main structure: Direct fastening operations will leave irreversible holes or welds in steel beams and floor slabs, damaging the original anti-corrosion coating, which not only affects the appearance, but may also reduce the durability and safety of the main structure.

[0003] 2. Poor tolerance adjustment capability: The building structure itself has manufacturing and installation errors. Traditional rigid connection methods cannot effectively absorb and adjust these errors, resulting in unevenness and excessive gaps after wall installation, which seriously affects the quality of subsequent finishing works.

[0004] 3. Prone to long-term deformation and abnormal noise: Due to the rigid connection, slight settlement, deformation or vibration during the building's use will be directly transmitted to the wall keel. Long-term use can easily lead to loosening of the connection points, cracking of the decorative panels or noise.

[0005] 4. Poor maintainability and replaceability: Once the wall needs to be replaced or the pipeline needs to be repaired, the dismantling process will damage the main structure again, making it impossible to achieve "non-destructive disassembly and assembly" of interior components, which violates the core concept of "green and recyclable" prefabricated buildings.

[0006] Therefore, the inventors conducted further research and developed a modular lightweight wall connection and leveling component and construction method, which led to this invention. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular lightweight wall connection and leveling component and construction method to achieve non-destructive connection between the wall and the main structure, high-precision leveling, and convenient assembly and disassembly, thereby solving the problems of difficult error adjustment, structural damage, and poor maintenance in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A modular lightweight wall connection and leveling component includes an upper connecting member and a lower connecting member. Both the upper and lower connecting members include a connecting plane and a connecting ramp. The connecting plane is connected to a steel structure or wall, and the connecting ramps are connected to each other. The connecting ramps can move relative to each other and can be fixed by fasteners, thereby adjusting the relative distance between the steel structure and the wall.

[0009] Several connecting and leveling components are installed between the main steel structure of the building (I-beams, floors, etc.) and the top and bottom joists of the lightweight wall structure. By adjusting the relative distance between the upper and lower connecting components of the connecting and leveling components, errors that may occur during installation can be resolved, and maintenance and replacement can be facilitated.

[0010] Furthermore, an elongated hole is provided on the connecting inclined surface, and the connecting inclined surfaces of the upper connecting component and the lower connecting component are connected together by adjusting bolts passing through the elongated hole.

[0011] When the adjusting bolt is in the loose state, the relative distance between the connecting planes can be changed by moving the connecting inclined surfaces of the upper and lower connecting components. Once the distance is adjusted to the correct position, the adjusting bolt can be tightened.

[0012] Furthermore, the included angle formed by the connecting plane and the connecting inclined plane ranges from 90° to 135°.

[0013] This angle can maximize the leveling of height difference while ensuring stability and convenience. If the bending angle exceeds this range, the functionality of the leveling component cannot be maximized. After the upper and lower connecting parts are combined and the leveling screw (bolt) in the middle is fixed, the overall appearance is similar to a "Z" shaped structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the two sides of the connecting plane are provided with folded edges or flanges.

[0015] Folded or turned edges are used to secure and hold lightweight walls in place.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting plane is fitted with an elastic rubber damping block or damping layer.

[0017] The function of rubber damping blocks or damping layers is to buffer and reduce the impact of wall vibration.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper and lower connecting components are made of galvanized steel sheets with a thickness of 3mm and folded edges.

[0019] Furthermore, two elongated holes are provided on the connecting inclined surface, and the elongated holes are set along the inclined direction of the connecting inclined surface.

[0020] Furthermore, the connecting plane is fixed to the steel component by fixing bolts.

[0021] Furthermore, the width of the connecting leveling components is 80mm, 130mm, 180mm, or 230mm.

[0022] Different wall thicknesses require different widths of leveling components.

[0023] A construction method for a modular lightweight wall connection and leveling component includes the following steps: 1. Factory prefabrication: The steel structure floor and roof have pre-drilled bolt holes in the factory, and the connecting and leveling components are prefabricated in the factory; 2. Install the lower connecting component: Secure the lower connecting component on-site by drilling holes with fixing bolts; 3. Install the connecting components: Install the connecting components on site, and use adjusting bolts to initially tighten them for temporary fixation; 4. After adjusting the upper connecting component to the target position, place the lightweight wall into the connecting plane of the upper connecting component; 5. Adjusting the position: When the lightweight wall is placed into the upper connecting component, adjust its position using the adjusting bolts; 6. Tighten the adjusting bolts to secure the product.

[0024] By adopting the above solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. Adjustable during installation: Allows for fine-tuning in three dimensions (mainly within height and horizontal position) during installation to absorb structural errors and ensure the accuracy and flatness of the wall installation; leveling and alignment are faster, reducing reliance on worker skills and improving installation quality and efficiency; 2. Without damaging the main structure: The connection between the components and the steel beams and the top and bottom is made by pre-embedded bolts, avoiding drilling and welding in the main load-bearing parts; 3. Sound insulation and vibration reduction: The components integrate rubber damping blocks, which can effectively absorb and isolate minor deformations and vibrations of the building structure, prevent stress from being directly transmitted to the wall, eliminate long-term deformation and abnormal noise, reduce vibration and noise, and prevent cracking. 4. Standardized connectors and convenient installation: The connectors of the leveling component are standardized, usable both top and bottom, and can be replaced with different specifications to achieve different height and adjustment levels. These connectors use clips and locking screws to enable quick installation and locking of the lightweight wall, while also facilitating later disassembly and replacement, achieving truly non-destructive installation. The wall between the top and bottom of the steel beam is an independent module that can be completely disassembled and reused, meeting green building requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a modular lightweight wall connection and leveling component includes an upper connecting member 1 and a lower connecting member 2. Both the upper connecting member 1 and the lower connecting member 2 include connecting planes (11, 21) and connecting ramps (12, 22). The connecting ramps and connecting planes can be formed by bending 3mm thick galvanized steel sheets, creating an included angle of 135° between them. Two parallel elongated holes are formed on the connecting ramps. When the connecting ramps of the upper connecting member 1 and the lower connecting member 2 overlap or partially overlap, the elongated holes also overlap or partially overlap. By passing an adjusting bolt 3 through the elongated holes, the two connecting ramps can be connected together. When relative movement occurs between the connecting ramps, the relative height and horizontal distance between the connecting planes change, thus accommodating structural errors between steel structures or walls. After adjustment, tightening the adjusting bolt 3 completes the fixation of the upper connecting member 1 and the lower connecting member 2.

[0029] The connecting leveling component, as a whole, can be set above or below the lightweight wall 6 (top and bottom joists). Since the width of the lightweight wall 6 is generally fixed, flanges (13, 23) that can cover the wall are set on both sides of the connecting plane that contacts the wall, so that the width of the connecting leveling component can be selected from the commonly used 80mm, 130mm, 180mm or 230mm.

[0030] On the connection plane in contact with the steel structure, while using the flange, it can also be fixed to the steel structure by fixing bolts 4 set on the connection plane. That is, relative to the connection leveling component located below the wall, the position of the upper connection component 1 relative to the lower connection component 2 is adjusted, and the connection leveling component located above the wall, the position of the upper and lower connection components 2 relative to the upper and lower connection components 2 is adjusted.

[0031] Construction sequence and methods: 1. Factory prefabrication: The steel structure floor and roof have pre-drilled bolt holes in the factory, and the connecting and leveling components are prefabricated in the factory.

[0032] 2. Install the lower connecting component 2: Fix the lower connecting component 2 by drilling holes with the on-site fixing bolts 4. An elastic rubber damping block 5 is inserted inside the component to buffer and reduce the impact of wall vibration. After installation and fixing, it becomes a fixed device.

[0033] 3. Install connecting component 1: Install connecting component 1 on site. Since there are two elongated holes on the connecting slope in the middle of each component, use adjusting bolt 3 to initially tighten for temporary fixation.

[0034] 4. After adjusting the upper connecting component 1 to the target position, place the lightweight wall 6 into the groove of the connecting plane of the upper connecting component 1.

[0035] 5. Adjusting the position: When the lightweight wall 6 is placed into the upper connecting component 1, the position is adjusted using the adjusting bolts 3 to achieve a flat and suitable position.

[0036] 6. Final tightening of adjusting bolt 3: After the overall connection leveling assembly reaches the appropriate position, tighten adjusting bolt 3 to fix it and achieve the purpose of leveling installation.

[0037] When replacing the lightweight wall 6, the middle adjusting bolt 3 can be loosened to facilitate subsequent renovation and replacement, thus enhancing the convenience of construction.

[0038] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and "middle" used in the present invention are for reference only and are not absolute limitations. Any non-substantial modifications made using the present invention shall be considered as infringing upon the protection scope of the present invention.
