Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product bracket technology, and in particular to a support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, TV stand designs on the market tend to be diversified and personalized to meet the needs of different consumers. Among them, modular tubular stands are widely used due to their simple structure and flexible shape. To ensure the load-bearing capacity and durability of modular tubular stands, traditional designs often use high-strength materials (such as stainless steel 201) to make the tubing. While high-strength materials can provide the required mechanical properties, they are also more expensive. SPCC (cold-rolled carbon steel sheet) material has a significant cost advantage over stainless steel 201, so SPCC material is used to replace stainless steel 201.

[0003] In related technologies, traditional pipes and mounting bases are connected by drilling through holes in the pipes and using bolts. However, pipes made of SPCC material have lower strength than pipes made of stainless steel 201. If the above connection method is continued, the strength of the pipes will be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the support performance of the combined pipe base. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a support structure that aims to improve the strength and support performance of the support structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a support structure for fixing the component to be installed, the support structure comprising:

[0006] The pipe has at least one mounting hole on one side wall;

[0007] At least one rivet nut, the rivet nut including a rivet body and a first stop portion and a second stop portion formed at intervals on the rivet body, the rivet body having a first threaded hole, the rivet body passing through the mounting hole, the first stop portion abutting against the periphery of the upper opening of the mounting hole, and the second stop portion abutting against the periphery of the lower opening of the mounting hole; and

[0008] The mounting base has two ends connected to the rivet nut and the part to be installed, respectively. Attached Figure Description

[0018] This utility model proposes a support structure 100.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the support structure 100 is used to fix the part to be installed. The support structure 100 includes a pipe 1, at least one rivet nut 2, and a mounting base 3. At least one mounting hole 11 is opened on one side wall of the pipe 1. The rivet nut 2 includes a rivet body 21 and a first stop portion 22 and a second stop portion 23 formed on the rivet body 21 at intervals. The rivet body 21 has a first threaded hole 211. The rivet body 21 passes through the mounting hole 11. The first stop portion 22 is limited and abuts against the periphery of the upper opening of the mounting hole 11, and the second stop portion 23 is limited and abuts against the periphery of the lower opening of the mounting hole 11. The two ends of the mounting base 3 are respectively connected to the rivet nut 2 and the part to be installed.

[0020] In this utility model's technical solution, when the rivet nut 2 is installed in the mounting hole 11, the first stop 22 and the second stop 23 respectively abut against the periphery of the upper opening and the periphery of the lower opening of the mounting hole 11 to fix the rivet nut 2. Then, the mounting base 3 is connected to the rivet nut 2 to achieve a fixed connection between the mounting base 3 and the pipe 1. In application, at least two support structures 100 are arranged side by side with intervals, and the part to be installed (such as a television) is fixed to the two mounting bases 3 to achieve a stable installation of the part to be installed (such as a television). This structure only requires opening a mounting hole 11 on one side wall of the pipe 1 to fix the mounting base 3 to the pipe 1, without the need to open a through hole in the pipe 1, thus improving the strength and support performance of the pipe 1. The connection between the mounting base 3 and the rivet nut 2 can be achieved by screws, with the screws passing through the mounting base 3 and threaded into the first threaded hole 211, or by... Bolt 4 passes through the mounting base 3 and is threaded into the first threaded hole 211. This utility model does not limit this. The connection between the mounting base 3 and the part to be installed (such as a television) can be achieved by bolt 4, which passes through the mounting base 3 and is threaded into the part to be installed (such as a television), or by screw, which passes through the mounting base 3 and is threaded into the part to be installed (such as a television). This utility model does not limit this either. The installation of the rivet nut 2 is usually achieved by first inserting the rivet nut 2 with the first stop part 22 into the mounting hole 11 of the pipe 1. The first stop part 22 abuts against the upper surface of one side wall of the pipe 1. A rivet gun is then inserted into the first threaded hole 211 to form a second stop part 23 in the rivet nut 2. The first stop part 22 and the second stop part 23 respectively abut against the periphery of the upper opening and the periphery of the lower opening of the mounting hole 11 to achieve the fixed installation of the rivet nut 2.

[0021] To connect the rivet nut 2 to the mounting base 3, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the support structure 100 includes at least one first fastener, which is movably inserted through the mounting base 3 and threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 211. The first fastener can be a screw, which is inserted through the mounting base 3 and threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 211, or it can be a bolt 4, which is inserted through the mounting base 3 and threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 211. This utility model does not limit the type of fastener. By using the first fastener to connect and fix the rivet nut 2 and the mounting base 3, the design of the first fastener makes disassembly and reinstallation more convenient and quick when the mounting base 3 needs to be replaced or repaired, thereby improving the overall usability of the structure.

[0022] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base 3 is provided with at least one second threaded hole 31, the inner peripheral wall of the second threaded hole 31 is formed with a first limiting step 32, the first fastener is a bolt 4, the bolt 4 includes a nut 42 and a screw 41 connected to each other, the screw 41 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 31 and the first threaded hole 211, and the nut 42 abuts against the first limiting step 32 for limiting. By setting the first limiting step 32 on the inner peripheral wall of the second threaded hole 31, the bolt 4 is no longer exposed in the second threaded hole 31 after installation, reducing the wear and potential damage of the bolt 4 during use and helping to extend the service life of the bolt 4 and the second threaded hole 31. The bolt 4 is hidden in the second threaded hole 31, making the appearance of the support structure 100 neater and more aesthetically pleasing, meeting the design requirements. After the bolt 4 is fully embedded in the second threaded hole 31, the direct contact between the bolt 4 and the outside world is reduced, lowering the risk of the bolt 4 loosening due to vibration or external force. In addition, the first limiting step 32 provides additional mechanical restraint, which helps to further fix the bolt 4, enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure, and the design of the first limiting step 32 also helps to ensure that the bolt 4 is in the correct position, avoiding the problem of misalignment of the bolt 4 after installation.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting base 3 includes a first connecting plate 36 and a second connecting plate 37. The first connecting plate 36 has a second threaded hole 31 and is connected to a rivet nut 2. One side of the second connecting plate 37 is connected to the side of the first connecting plate 36 facing away from the pipe 1. The first connecting plate 36 is used to connect with the rivet nut 2, and the second connecting plate 37 is used to connect with the part to be installed. The first connecting plate 36 and the second connecting plate 37 are connected perpendicularly, so that there is enough space at the bottom of the second connecting plate 37 for installation, so that the connection between the second connecting plate 37 and the part to be installed can be achieved. Furthermore, the first connecting plate 36 and the second connecting plate 37 are integrally formed, which gives the mounting base 3 higher structural strength and stability.

[0024] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the support structure 100 includes at least one second fastener, and the second connecting plate 37 has at least one third threaded hole 34. The second fastener passes through the third threaded hole 34 and connects to the part to be installed. The second fastener can be a screw, which passes through the mounting base 3 and connects to the part to be installed, or it can be a bolt 4, which passes through the mounting base 3 and connects to the part to be installed. This utility model does not limit the type of fastener. By using the second fastener to connect and fix the part to be installed and the mounting base 3, the design of the second fastener makes disassembly and reinstallation more convenient and quick when the part to be installed needs to be replaced or repaired, thereby improving the overall usability of the structure.

[0025] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, a second limiting step 35 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the third threaded hole 34 near the end of the pipe 1. Part of the structure of the second fastener is threadedly connected to the third threaded hole 34, and another part of the structure of the second fastener abuts against and limits the second limiting step 35. By setting the second limiting step 35 on the inner peripheral wall of the third threaded hole 34, the second fastener is no longer exposed in the third threaded hole 34 after installation, reducing wear and possible damage to the second fastener during use and helping to extend the service life of the second fastener. The second fastener is hidden inside the third threaded hole 34, making the appearance of the support structure 100 neater and more aesthetically pleasing, meeting the design requirements. The second limiting step 35 provides additional mechanical limiting, which helps to further fix the second fastener, enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure, and the design of the second limiting step 35 also helps to ensure that the second fastener is in the correct position, avoiding the problem of misalignment of the second fastener after installation.

[0026] For easier installation of the components, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, a positioning post 33 is provided on the side of the mounting base 3 facing away from the pipe 1. The positioning post 33 helps ensure that the mounting hole 11 on the part to be installed is accurately aligned with the third threaded hole 34 on the mounting base 3, thereby ensuring the stable installation and safe use of the part to be installed. During the installation process, the positioning post 33 serves as an alignment reference, making it easier to accurately align the part to be installed without additional alignment tools or complex adjustment steps, thus simplifying the installation process. The positioning post 33 can fix the part to be installed in the correct position, avoiding loosening or instability caused by inaccurate alignment, and improving the overall stability after installation. The positioning post 33 can effectively avoid installation errors caused by inaccurate manual alignment, ensuring that the mounting hole 11 on the part to be installed is precisely connected with the third threaded hole 34 of the support structure 100, thereby improving the installation quality. Since the positioning post 33 can help with quick alignment, it reduces the adjustment time during installation and improves the overall installation efficiency.

[0027] To improve the connection stability between mounting base 3 and pipe 1, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, two mounting holes 11 are spaced apart on one side wall of the pipe 1. The support structure 100 includes two rivet nuts 2, each rivet nut 2 passing through a mounting hole 11. The mounting base 3 is connected to the two rivet nuts 2. The two rivet nuts 2 share more of the load, making the connection more stable and able to withstand greater torque and weight. This two-point connection helps prevent installation instability or displacement problems caused by uneven force at a single point. The two connection points can distribute the force more evenly, reducing local stress concentration. This helps avoid deformation or damage between the pipe 1 and the mounting base 3 due to uneven force. Using two rivet nuts 2 makes it easier to align and fix the mounting base 3, and it is easier to adjust and determine the correct position compared to using only one connection point.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, at least one silicone pad 5 is provided on the side of the pipe 1 facing away from the mounting base 3. The silicone pad 5 has good elasticity and softness, effectively absorbing and reducing vibration and noise. This helps reduce noise caused by mechanical vibration or external impact, improving the overall system stability and comfort. The silicone pad 5 can act as a buffer layer, preventing the pipe 1 from directly contacting other components, thereby avoiding surface scratches or damage caused by friction or collision. This is crucial for protecting the equipment and extending its service life. The silicone pad 5 has a certain coefficient of friction, which can increase the friction of the contact surface, thereby improving the stability between the pipe 1 and the tabletop and reducing the possibility of slippage or loosening.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the support structure 100 includes two sealing blocks 6. The pipe 1 has a through cavity 12 communicating with the mounting hole 11 along its length. The sealing blocks 6 are used to seal the opening of the through cavity 12. The sealing blocks 6 effectively prevent dust, dirt, or other contaminants from entering the pipe 1, thus maintaining the cleanliness and normal operation of the pipe 1. The sealing blocks 6 also increase the structural integrity and stability of the pipe 1, preventing deformation or instability caused by the unsealed through cavity 12, which helps maintain the strength and reliability of the entire support structure 100. By providing the through cavity 12 and sealing blocks 6 on the pipe 1, installation and maintenance become more convenient. The sealing blocks 6 can be disassembled and replaced when needed, facilitating inspection and repair of the inside of the pipe 1.
