Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scaffolding technology, specifically to a foldable scaffolding for building construction. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, my country has an increasing number of high-rise and super high-rise buildings, and most of them use attached lifting scaffolding for the main structure and exterior wall decoration construction. Attached lifting scaffolding is characterized by its one-time installation and erection, low steel consumption, no need for vertical transportation equipment, low labor requirements, ease of operation, and high safety and reliability, making it a promising technology for future applications.

[0003] Scaffolding is a temporary construction tool erected on construction sites to facilitate worker operations and vertical and horizontal transportation. It primarily serves exterior wall construction, interior decoration, or situations where direct construction is impossible due to high ceilings, providing workers with platforms for movement and external safety protection. Scaffolding not only ensures worker safety but also improves construction efficiency, making it an indispensable part of construction projects. Before using scaffolding, it must be ensured that its erection complies with safety regulations. It typically requires inspection by professional technicians to confirm structural stability and reliability before it can be put into use. Furthermore, as construction progresses and needs change, scaffolding needs to be adjusted or dismantled in a timely manner; therefore, its flexibility and ease of assembly and disassembly are also important characteristics.

[0004] In the current technology, scaffolding usually does not have a folding function and is usually transported by disassembling it as a whole. Although this meets the usage requirements to a certain extent, the assembly and disassembly process is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than folding, which affects the efficiency of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable scaffold for building construction to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable scaffold for building construction, comprising a folding mechanism and several footboards. The folding mechanism includes a first connecting block, on which four sets of first support rods are rotatably mounted. The four sets of first support rods are perpendicular to each other. A second connecting block is rotatably mounted at one end of each first support rod. Second support rods are rotatably mounted on both the left and right sides of each first support rod. A third connecting block is rotatably connected inside each pair of perpendicular sets of second support rods. A support column is fixedly mounted inside the third connecting block. The lengths of the first support rods and the second support rods are equal.

[0007] Preferably, the support column is made of stainless steel, and the first support rod and the second support rod are both made of aluminum alloy.

[0008] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first connecting block.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the folding mechanism is movably mounted with two sets of cross braces, which are movably mounted on the outer wall of the support column. Several fixing hooks are fixedly mounted on both the left and right sides of the pedal, and the pedal is movably mounted on the top of the two sets of cross braces through several fixing hooks.

[0010] Preferably, two sets of quick-connect buckles are fixedly installed on one side of the support column, and foldable diagonal braces are fixedly installed on the sides of the two sets of support columns through four sets of quick-connect buckles.

[0011] Preferably, the folding mechanism further includes a universal wheel with brake, and a mounting column is fixedly installed on the top of the universal wheel with brake, and the mounting column is movably installed inside the support column.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting column is movably mounted on the top of the support column.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it is a foldable scaffold for building construction;

[0014] 1. A stable work surface is formed by the cooperation of the set pedal and the fixing hook. The positional relationship of the top of the four sets of support columns is restricted by the pedal and the fixing hook, so that the folding mechanism, cross brace and pedal form a stable frame. A foldable square frame is formed by eight second support rods, four sets of third connecting blocks and fixing hooks and second connecting blocks. The above square is divided into four square frames of equal area by the four sets of first support rods and first connecting blocks. When the support column is pressed towards the first connecting block along the diagonal of the small square frame, the first support rod and the second support rod are mutually constrained and rotated at the same angle, and finally perpendicular to the top of the support plate. Conversely, it can be converted from the storage state to the unfolded state. In this process, through the flexibility of rotation installation and the mechanical relationship between the rods, the spatial structure is efficiently converted from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and the main frame has the advantage of being foldable.

[0015] 2. The stability of this scaffold is further increased by the foldable diagonal bracing. The quick-connect buckles facilitate the disassembly and installation of the foldable diagonal bracing. The casters with brakes facilitate the movement and fixation of this equipment. The mounting columns facilitate the installation and disassembly of the casters with brakes. The connecting columns facilitate the layering and connection of this scaffold on top of this equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable scaffold for building construction, including a folding mechanism 1 and several footboards 3. The folding mechanism 1 includes a first connecting block 101. Four sets of first support rods 102 are rotatably installed on the side of the first connecting block 101. The four sets of first support rods 102 are perpendicular to each other. A second connecting block 103 is rotatably installed at one end of the first support rod 102. Second support rods 104 are rotatably installed on both the left and right sides of the first support rod 102. A third connecting block 105 is rotatably connected inside each pair of mutually perpendicular second support rods 104. A support column 106 is fixedly installed inside the third connecting block 105. The lengths of the first support rods 102 and the second support rods 104 are equal.

[0024] The support column 106 is made of stainless steel, and the first support rod 102 and the second support rod 104 are both made of aluminum alloy.

[0025] A support plate 107 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first connecting block 101;

[0026] Two sets of cross braces 2 are movably installed on the top of the folding mechanism 1. The cross braces 2 are movably installed on the outer wall of the support column 106. Several fixing hooks 4 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the pedal 3. The pedal 3 is movably installed on the top of the two sets of cross braces 2 through several fixing hooks 4.

[0027] The specific implementation method is as follows: a foldable square frame is formed by eight second support rods 104, four sets of third connecting blocks 105, and four sets of second connecting blocks 103 with fixing hooks. The square is divided into four square frames of equal area by four sets of first support rods 102 and first connecting blocks 101. When the support column 106 is pressed towards the first connecting block 101 along the diagonal of the smaller square frame, the first support rods 102 and second support rods 104 mutually restrict each other and rotate at equal angles, eventually becoming perpendicular to the top of the support plate 107. Conversely, the structure can be converted from a folded state to an unfolded state. In this process, the flexibility of rotational installation and the mechanical relationship between the rods mutually restrict each other achieve an efficient conversion of the spatial structure from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable scaffold for building construction, wherein two sets of quick-connect buckles 111 are fixedly installed on one side of the support column 106, and foldable diagonal braces 5 are fixedly installed on the sides of the two sets of support columns 106 through four sets of quick-connect buckles 111.

[0029] The folding mechanism 1 also includes a universal wheel 108 with a brake, and a mounting post 109 is fixedly installed on the top of the universal wheel 108 with a brake. The mounting post 109 is movably installed inside the support post 106.

[0030] A connecting column 110 is movably installed on the top of the support column 106.

[0031] The specific implementation method is as follows: the stability of the scaffold is further increased by the foldable diagonal brace 5, the quick-connect buckle 111 facilitates the disassembly and installation of the foldable diagonal brace 5 by the workers, the caster wheel with brake 108 facilitates the movement and fixation of the equipment by the workers, the mounting column 109 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the caster wheel with brake 108 by the workers, and the connecting column 110 facilitates the stacking and connection of the scaffold on the top of the equipment by the users.

[0032] Working principle: When using this foldable scaffolding for construction, a stable work surface is formed by the cooperation of the pedal 3 and the fixing hook 4. The pedal 3 and fixing hook 4 then restrict the positional relationship of the tops of the four sets of support columns 106, thus enabling the folding mechanism 1, the cross brace 2, and the pedal 3 to form a stable frame. When folding and storage is required, the cross brace 2 and the pedal 3 are removed, allowing the first support rod 102 and the second support rod 104 to rotate freely. By pressing the support column 106 towards the first connecting block 101, the first support rod 102 and the second support rod 104 rotate until they are perpendicular to the top of the support plate 107, completing the storage process. Specifically... Figure 2 - Figure 4 During this process, the scaffolding is supported by stainless steel support columns 106 to ensure durability, and the first support rod 102 and the second support rod 104 made of aluminum alloy are used to fold the frame to reduce the weight of the equipment.

[0033] Meanwhile, the stability of the scaffold is further increased by the foldable diagonal brace 5, the quick-connect buckle 111 facilitates the disassembly and installation of the foldable diagonal brace 5 by the workers, the caster wheel with brake 108 facilitates the movement and fixation of the equipment by the workers, the mounting column 109 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the caster wheel with brake 108 by the workers, and the connecting column 110 facilitates the stacking and connection of the scaffold on the top of the equipment by the users.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
