Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal enclosure technology, specifically to a metal enclosure that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction and engineering fields, metal cladding panels are an important building material widely used in the construction of walls, roofs, and protective structures. Metal cladding panels (especially color-coated steel panels) are widely used in prefabricated houses. As the main cladding material for prefabricated houses, they not only meet the requirements for structural stability and safety but also improve the thermal insulation, heat insulation, and waterproofing performance of the houses. At the same time, the diverse colors and textures of color-coated steel panels provide prefabricated houses with a wide range of aesthetic choices, making them more beautiful and attractive.

[0003] Patent CN220768625U discloses an anti-condensation metal roof, relating to the field of anti-condensation roofing technology. It includes an enclosure panel with a vapor barrier on one outer wall and a first mortar layer on the outer wall of the vapor barrier away from the enclosure panel. This technology, using concrete slabs, can form a sufficiently thick outer envelope structure. By properly managing the building's thermal properties, the inner surface temperature of the metal roof is prevented from becoming too low, ensuring no condensation occurs on the metal roof surface. This prevents condensation on the main indoor structure and the main enclosure structure, allowing for intermittent or stopped operation of the indoor air conditioning, ventilation, and heating systems, creating favorable conditions for energy-efficient operation of the entire building. Simultaneously, the vents inside the enclosure panel allow airflow within the enclosure structure, enabling moisture entering the enclosure to escape, thereby reducing the relative humidity of the air gap and achieving the purpose of preventing condensation.

[0004] However, the above technology still has the following problems:

[0005] When installing metal cladding panels on prefabricated houses, workers need to press the panels down to determine their position before securing them with self-tapping screws. This process can easily lead to misalignment of the panels' bottom edges, affecting the overall aesthetics and potentially widening the gaps, increasing the risk of rainwater leakage. This not only affects the internal environment of the prefabricated house but may also damage its structure. While the impact of misaligned bottom edges on the overall structural stability of the prefabricated house is relatively small, over the long term, the concentrated effect of external factors such as wind and water pressure due to the gaps may accelerate the aging and damage of the panels, indirectly affecting the structural safety of the house. It will also increase future maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a metal enclosure panel that is easy to install. The lower ends of two panels can be positioned to enable quick installation and ensure that the lower ends are aligned.

[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a metal enclosure panel that is easy to install, comprising an enclosure panel one and an enclosure panel two. The enclosure panel one consists of a steel plate surface layer, a heat insulation layer, and a steel plate bottom layer from top to bottom. A placement groove one is opened at the lower left corner of the heat insulation layer, and a placement groove one is opened at the lower right corner of the heat insulation layer. A connecting seat is installed in the placement groove one, and a fixing seat is installed in the placement groove two. The fixing seat and the connecting seat are both fixedly connected between the steel plate surface layer and the steel plate bottom layer. A snap-fit ​​component is detachably connected between the fixing seat and the connecting seat. A fixing mechanism for fixing the snap-fit ​​component is provided on the fixing seat. The structure of the enclosure panel two is the same as that of the enclosure panel one.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting seat includes a fixing block that is fixedly connected between the steel plate surface layer and the steel plate bottom layer, and the fixing block has an insertion hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing base includes a fixing block two fixedly connected between the steel plate surface layer and the steel plate bottom layer, and the fixing block two has an insertion hole two.

[0010] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​component includes a first insert rod that is slidably connected inside the second insertion hole, a second insert rod that is slidably connected inside the first insertion hole, and a connecting plate that is fixedly connected to the front ends of the first insert rod and the second insert rod. Circular holes are provided on the first insert rod and the second insert rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a sliding cavity formed on the inner wall of the second insertion hole, a sliding groove formed on the lower surface of the second fixing block that communicates with the sliding cavity, the sliding groove penetrating the lower surface of the second fixing block, a spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity, a sliding rod adapted to the round hole fixedly connected to the output end of the spring, and a push plate fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower surface of the bottom layer of the steel plate is provided with a groove that is wider than the width of the push plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the front end of the slide bar and the first and second inserts are all provided with rounded corners.

[0014] Furthermore, a fixing mechanism is installed inside the fixing block one.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 An easy-to-install metal enclosure panel includes enclosure panel one 1 and enclosure panel two 2. The enclosure panel one 1 consists of a steel plate surface layer 3, a heat insulation layer 4, and a steel plate bottom layer 5 from top to bottom. A placement groove one 6 is opened at the lower left corner of the heat insulation layer 4, and a placement groove two 7 is opened at the lower right corner of the heat insulation layer 4. A connecting seat is installed in the placement groove one 6, and a fixing seat is installed in the placement groove two 7. The fixing seat and the connecting seat are fixedly connected between the steel plate surface layer 3 and the steel plate bottom layer 5. A snap-fit ​​component is detachably connected between the fixing seat and the connecting seat. A fixing mechanism for fixing the snap-fit ​​component is provided on the fixing seat. The structure of enclosure panel two 2 is the same as that of enclosure panel one 1.

[0023] The easily installable metal enclosure panel in this utility model is similar to existing anti-condensation metal roof structures, such as the anti-condensation metal roof disclosed in patent CN220768625U. The main improvement of this utility model is that by fixing the snap-fit ​​components, the enclosure panel 2 can be initially positioned and fixed, facilitating quick and easy fixing with self-tapping screws, and ensuring that the lower ends of the enclosure panel 2 and the enclosure panel 1 can be aligned. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the present invention, the easy-to-install metal enclosure panel is used by first fixing the enclosure panel 1 to the roof joists, then pushing the push plate 20, which moves inward along the slide groove 17. At this time, the slide rod 19 also moves inward along the slide cavity 16, compressing the spring 18 and storing energy. The slide rod 19 gradually moves away from the insertion hole 11. After the insertion rod 12 is slid into the insertion hole 11, the push plate 20 is released, the spring 18 releases energy, and pushes the slide rod 19 into the round hole 15, thereby fixing the insertion rod 12. This is used to fix the snap-fit ​​component. After the first insertion rod 12 is inserted into the second insertion hole 11 and fixed, the second enclosure plate 2 is slowly lowered so that the first insertion hole 9 on the connecting seat of the second enclosure plate 2 is inserted into the second insertion rod 13. At this time, the second enclosure plate 2 rests against the connecting plate 14, thereby aligning and positioning the lower ends of the first enclosure plate 1 and the second enclosure plate 2. This allows for quick fixing with self-tapping screws and prevents the second enclosure plate 2 from moving. The snap-fit ​​component can be removed in the reverse manner for subsequent transportation and handling.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting seat includes a fixing block 8 that is fixedly connected between the steel plate surface layer 3 and the steel plate bottom layer 5, and the fixing block 8 has an insertion hole 9.

[0025] Specifically, the fixing block 8 is fixed between the steel plate surface layer 3 and the steel plate bottom layer 5, thereby fixing the position of the insertion hole 9.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the fixing base includes a fixing block 10 fixedly connected between the steel plate surface layer 3 and the steel plate bottom layer 5, and the fixing block 10 is provided with an insertion hole 11.

[0027] Specifically, the fixing block 2 10 is fixed between the steel plate surface layer 3 and the steel plate bottom layer 5, thereby fixing the position of the insertion hole 2 11.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​component includes a first insert rod 12 slidably connected inside the second insert hole 11, a second insert rod 13 slidably connected inside the first insert hole 9, a connecting plate 14 fixedly connected to the front ends of the first insert rod 12 and the second insert rod 13, and round holes 15 are provided on the first insert rod 12 and the second insert rod 13.

[0029] Specifically, after the first insertion rod 12 is inserted into the second insertion hole 11 and fixed, the second enclosure plate 2 is slowly lowered, so that the first insertion hole 9 on the connecting seat of the second enclosure plate 2 is inserted into the second insertion rod 13. At this time, the second enclosure plate 2 rests against the connecting plate 14, thereby aligning and positioning the lower ends of the first enclosure plate 1 and the second enclosure plate 2, so that it can be quickly fixed with self-tapping screws and the movement of the second enclosure plate 2 can be prevented.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing mechanism includes a sliding cavity 16 formed on the inner wall of the second insertion hole 11, and a sliding groove 17 formed on the lower surface of the second fixing block 10 that communicates with the sliding cavity 16. The sliding groove 17 penetrates the lower surface of the second fixing block 10. A spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity 16. A sliding rod 19 that is adapted to the round hole 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the spring 18. A push plate 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 19.

[0031] Specifically, the push plate 20 is pushed and moves inward along the slide groove 17. At this time, the slide rod 19 also moves inward along the slide cavity 16. The spring 18 is compressed and stores energy. The slide rod 19 gradually moves away from the second insertion hole 11. After the first insertion rod 12 is slid into the second insertion hole 11, the push plate 20 is released. The spring 18 releases energy and pushes the slide rod 19 into the round hole 15, thereby fixing the first insertion rod 12 and thus fixing the snap-fit ​​component.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower surface of the bottom layer 5 of the steel plate has a groove 21 with a width larger than that of the push plate 20.

[0033] Specifically, the groove 21 facilitates the gripping of the push plate 20, and the lower surface of the push plate 20 is located inside the groove 21, so that the push plate 20 will not protrude, thus not affecting the stacking and transportation of multiple enclosure panels 1 and enclosure panels 2.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the front end of the slide bar 19 and the first and second insert rods 12 and 13 are all provided with rounded corners.

[0035] Specifically, the rounded corners facilitate the sliding of the slide rod 19 into the round hole 15, and also facilitate the sliding of the first insertion rod 12 into the second insertion hole 11, and the second insertion rod 13 into the first insertion hole 9.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, a fixing mechanism is installed inside the fixing block 8.

[0037] Specifically, the fixing block 8 has an internal fixing mechanism that can simultaneously fix the first insertion rod 12 and the second insertion rod 13, thereby also fixing the position of the second enclosure panel 2. When the staff uses self-tapping screws to fix the second enclosure panel 2, the second enclosure panel 2 is not easy to move, thus further ensuring the accuracy of the installation.

[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
