Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal door reinforcement, in particular to a metal door reinforcement structure. Background Art

[0002] Metal door reinforcements are designed to significantly enhance the stability and safety of metal doors. In practice, they play a crucial role in enhancing the overall strength and safety of the door. However, bolting the reinforcement to the door frame may offer some stability differences compared to flush mounting.

[0003] Specifically, bolted connections can become loose over time, especially when subjected to vibration or impact. Furthermore, bolted connections are more susceptible to shear deformation when subjected to lateral forces than embedded connections, potentially threatening the door's structural integrity and safety.

[0004] What is more noteworthy is that if the bolted parts are not properly treated with anti-corrosion, then long-term exposure to moisture or an environment containing corrosive substances may accelerate the corrosion rate of the bolts, further weakening the stability of the connection.

[0005] Furthermore, bolted connections require regular inspection and tightening, especially when the door is subject to heavy loads or in harsh environments, which undoubtedly increases maintenance costs. Therefore, when choosing a connection method for metal door reinforcement structures, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors to ensure its long-term stability and safety.

[0015] As a preferred solution of the present application, a circular ring is provided at the upper end of the reset spring, and the circular ring is sleeved on the ejection fixing rod. The lower end of the reset spring is connected to the ejection ball by a bolt.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This new design employs a strategy of installing a reinforcement frame inside the metal door and vertically connecting the reinforcement frame with inserted screws, significantly improving the overall structural strength of the metal door. This design gives the metal door greater stability and durability when subjected to external impacts.

[0018] To simplify the reinforcement connection process, we have designed a notch at the front of the reinforcement frame and used plug-in screws to make the installation process simple and quick.

[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the metal door reinforcement structure we introduced is mainly composed of three core components: the front door panel 1, the rear door panel 2, and the side frame 3. The front door panel 1 and the rear door panel 2 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the side frame 3. The three components work closely together to form the main structure of the metal door.

[0029] To enhance the overall strength and stability of the metal door, two reinforcement frames 4 are installed within the interior spaces of the front door panel 1, rear door panel 2, and side frames 3. These two reinforcement frames 4 are uniquely designed, with a notch 6 at the front end, facilitating subsequent reinforcement connections.

[0030] An opening is created on one side of the side frame 3 and an insert screw 5 is inserted. This screw not only passes through the two reinforcement frames 4 but also connects them perpendicularly, forming a stable reinforcement connection point. This design significantly strengthens the overall structure of the metal door.

[0031] Fixing blocks 7 are mounted at the top and bottom ends of the reinforcement frame 4. Block 7 has a circular hole through which an ejector rod 8 is inserted. A ball 9 is mounted on the inner end of the rod, while a return spring 10 is sleeved around the rod, located between the ball 9 and the fixing block 7. When the inserted screw 5 is inserted into the reinforcement frame 4, it compresses the ball 9, pushing the ejector rod 8 into the inner wall opening of the side frame 3, achieving a tighter fixation.

[0032] Bolts, nuts, and non-slip washers connect the reinforcement frame 4 to the front door panel 1, rear door panel 2, and side frame 3, ensuring a secure and stable connection. The reinforcement frame 4's "Ω"-shaped cross-section is particularly noteworthy, not only aesthetically pleasing but also enhancing its structural strength. Rubber strips are also installed at the contact points between the reinforcement frame 4, the front door panel 1, rear door panel 2, and side frame 3, further enhancing the seal and stability of the connection.

[0033] The inserted screw 5 is composed of a screw and a bolt head, wherein the bolt head is located at the end of the screw. The screw is inserted into the opening of the side frame 3 and connected thereto through a thread. At the same time, it is also connected to the reinforcement frame 4 through a thread, ensuring the tightness and stability of the connection.

[0034] The fixing block 7 is integrally designed with the reinforcement frame 4, and is provided with rubber gaskets at its upper and lower ends to increase friction with the other parts of the metal door. At the same time, the circular hole in the fixing block 7 corresponds exactly to the inner wall opening of the side frame 3, allowing the ejection fixing rod 8 to be smoothly inserted.

[0035] The ejector rod 8 and ejector ball 9 are integrally designed, and the ejector ball 9 is made of a wear-resistant material. The upper end of the ejector rod 8 is hemispherical and bonded with a non-slip rubber gasket, enhancing safety. Furthermore, a retaining ring is mounted on the rod to prevent accidental detachment of the ejector rod 8 from the fixing block 7.

[0036] The upper end of the return spring 10 is provided with a ring, which is sleeved on the ejection fixing rod 8, and the lower end is connected to the ejection ball 9 by a bolt. Such a design enables the return spring 10 to smoothly reset the ejection fixing rod 8 to its initial position.

[0037] To install the metal door reinforcement structure: Prepare the front door panel 1, rear door panel 2, side frames 3, and two reinforcement frames 4. Check that the insert screws 5 (including the screws and bolt heads), fixing blocks 7, ejector rods 8, ejector balls 9, and return springs 10 are all present and intact.

[0038] Install the front door panel 1 and rear door panel 2 at the front and rear ends of the side frame 3, ensuring a tight fit with no gaps. Place two reinforcement frames 4 in the space between the front and rear door panels 1 and 2 and the side frame 3, respectively. Ensure that the notches 6 of the reinforcement frames 4 face the direction of the openings in the side frame 3.

[0039] Insert the screw portion of the insert screw 5 through the opening of the side frame 3, ensuring that the screw passes through the notches 6 of the two reinforcement frames 4. Rotate the screw until it is tightly connected to both the side frame 3 and the reinforcement frame 4 through threads.

[0040] Align the circular holes on the fixing block 7 with the inner wall openings of the side frame 3, and install the fixing block 7 to the upper and lower ends of the reinforcement frame 4. Insert the ejection fixing rod 8 into the circular holes of the fixing block 7 to ensure that the ejection ball 9 can smoothly enter the inner wall openings of the side frame 3.

[0041] The upper end ring of the reset spring 10 is placed on the ejection fixing rod 8, and the lower end is connected to the ejection ball 9 by a bolt. Make sure that the reset spring 10 is in a natural state without excessive stretching or compression.

[0042] Check that all components are securely installed and not loose. Gently press the ejector rod 8 and confirm that the return spring 10 can smoothly return it to its initial position. Use bolts, nuts, and non-slip washers to secure the reinforcement frame 4 to the front door panel 1, rear door panel 2, and side frame 3, ensuring a secure and stable connection.

[0043] The entire reinforcement structure is inspected and accepted to ensure it meets the design requirements and usage needs. If necessary, local adjustments can be made until the optimal state is achieved.
