AI Technical Summary
Traditional antique-style wooden frames are prone to developing gaps under temperature and humidity changes, leading to wood decay and loosening. They also have insufficient earthquake resistance and high maintenance costs.
The structure employs a combination of threaded connection and flange rubber gasket. Rigid anchoring is achieved through the engagement of the threaded post with the connection hole. Combined with the rubber gasket seal, horizontal displacement is restricted and water vapor penetration is blocked. The fastener is hidden inside the column base.
It improves the lateral resistance of the timber frame, extends the life of the timber columns, reduces maintenance costs, and meets the aesthetic requirements of ancient architecture.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of timber frame technology, and in particular to a timber frame module for the construction of antique-style buildings. Background Technology
[0002] The construction and maintenance of traditional antique-style wooden frames have long faced the following technical challenges:
[0003] 1. Traditional column bases and wooden columns are mostly joined by mortise and tenon joints or simple interlocking. The interface between the wood and stone is prone to gaps due to changes in temperature and humidity, which can cause the columns to loosen or even collapse. Groundwater can seep through the gaps, accelerating the decay of the wood (especially at the base of the column), requiring frequent replacement of components and resulting in high maintenance costs.
[0004] 2. Insufficient seismic performance: Pure mortise and tenon structures rely on the elastic deformation of the wood itself to absorb seismic energy, lacking a rigid anchoring mechanism, and are prone to overall displacement or structural fracture under strong earthquakes.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the aforementioned problems, we propose a wooden frame module for the construction of antique-style buildings. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the deficiencies in the existing technology by proposing a wooden frame module for the construction of antique-style buildings.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A wooden frame module for the construction of antique-style buildings includes columns and column bases, wherein the columns are fixedly installed on the top of the column bases;
[0009] A connecting column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the column. A connecting hole is opened in the middle of the column base. The outer surface of the connecting column and the inner surface of the connecting hole are both provided with matching threads. The connecting column is threadedly installed inside the connecting hole.
[0010] The bottom end of the connecting column is fixedly equipped with a fixing member for stabilizing the column, and the fixing member is located inside the column base.
[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the connecting column is smaller than the diameter of the upright column, and the diameter of the column base is larger than the diameter of the upright column.
[0012] Furthermore, the fastener includes a flange, a threaded post, and a rubber gasket. The threaded post is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the flange, and the rubber gasket is located at the top of the flange. The threaded post passes through the rubber gasket.
[0013] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided at the bottom end of the connecting post, and the threaded hole is threadedly connected to the threaded post.
[0014] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the bottom end of the connecting hole, the groove being adapted to the flange and the rubber gasket, and the depth of the groove being slightly less than the combined thickness of the flange and the rubber gasket.
[0015] Furthermore, the column base is made of stone, the column is made of wood, and the outer surface of the column is coated with a waterproof, insect-proof, and flame-retardant coating.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] The flange embedded in the groove of this utility model can limit horizontal displacement, and the vertical tension provided by the threaded column has good anti-lateral displacement ability. Furthermore, the flange and rubber gasket squeeze and seal the groove to prevent bolt loosening and moisture infiltration, thus extending the life of the wooden column. In addition, the fasteners are hidden inside the column base, which conforms to the form of ancient architecture and takes into account both functionality and aesthetics. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model;
[0026] Reference Figure 1-5A wooden frame module for the construction of antique-style buildings includes columns 1 and column bases 2. The columns 1 are fixedly installed on the top of the column bases 2. The columns 1 and column bases 2 can form the column structure of the antique-style building. The column bases 2 are made of stone, and the columns 1 are made of wood. The outer surface of the columns 1 is coated with a waterproof and insect-proof flame-retardant coating.
[0027] A connecting column 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the column 1. The top of the connecting column 3 is inserted into the bottom of the column 1, and the connecting column 3 and the column 1 are connected and fixed by adhesive bonding. A connecting hole 4 is opened in the middle of the column base 2. The outer surface of the connecting column 3 and the inner surface of the connecting hole 4 are provided with matching threads. The connecting column 3 is threaded and installed inside the connecting hole 4. The connecting column 3 and the column base 2 are rigidly anchored by thread engagement.
[0028] The diameter of the connecting column 3 is smaller than that of the column 1, while the diameter of the column base 2 is larger than that of the column 1. This reduces stress concentration and increases load-bearing capacity, and also ensures that the column 1 and column base 2 can better conform to the style of ancient architecture after being combined.
[0029] A fastener for stabilizing the column 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting column 3. The fastener is located inside the column base 2. The fastener includes a flange 6, a threaded column 7, and a rubber gasket 9. The threaded column 7 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the flange 6 and is welded to the flange 6. The rubber gasket 9 is located at the top of the flange 6, and the threaded column 7 passes through the rubber gasket 9. A threaded hole 8 is provided at the bottom of the connecting column 3. The threaded hole 8 and the threaded column 7 are threadedly connected. The setting of the threaded column 7 provides vertical tensile force.
[0030] When installing the column 1, column base 2, and fastener, first install the fastener in the appropriate position using bolts. Then, install the column 1 on top of the column base 2, and install the connecting column 3 in the connecting hole 4. Finally, connect the connecting column 3 to the threaded column 7 of the fastener through the threaded hole 8 to complete the installation of the column 1 and column base 2.
[0031] A groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the connecting hole 4. The groove 5 is adapted to the flange 6 and the rubber gasket 9. The depth of the groove 5 is slightly less than the combined thickness of the flange 6 and the rubber gasket 9. The fit between the flange 6 and the groove 5 restricts the horizontal displacement of the column 1. The flange 6 can be fixed to the foundation by expansion bolts. As the threaded column 7 and the threaded hole 8 are gradually rotated and tightened, the column 1 will push the column base 2 downward. The column base 2 will squeeze the rubber gasket 9 through the groove 5, so that the rubber gasket 9 seals the groove 5, blocking the penetration of groundwater vapor, extending the life of the wooden column, and the compression of the rubber gasket 9 can also provide secondary fixation of the bolts to prevent them from loosening.
