Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of splicing sunroom technology, and in particular to a connector for corners of sunrooms. Background Technology
[0002] A sunroom, also known as a glass room, is a fully transparent, non-traditional building constructed with glass and a metal frame to allow people to enjoy sunlight and connect with nature.
[0003] In the connection structure of the eaves corner of a sunroom, traditional bolt fixing is the most common. For corner structures with many angle changes, traditional bolt fixing is relatively complicated and requires multiple positioning connections during installation, resulting in low construction efficiency. This does not meet the development needs of building sunrooms with various shapes and high construction efficiency.
[0004] At the same time, the existing metal frame of the sunroom is quite heavy after it is built, especially at the corners where multiple beams are connected. The load-bearing capacity of these corners is required to avoid greater compressive stress that could cause structural deformation or even safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the problems mentioned in the background, this utility model provides a connector for the corner of a sunroom.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A corner connector for a sunroom includes a connector body and a roof beam; the connector body is provided with three plugs; each plug is connected to a roof beam; the roof beam is hollow, and the plugs are inserted into the inner cavity of the roof beam; the cross-section of each plug is polygonal; each plug is provided with a fixing hole.
[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, the connector is hollow, and a partition plate is provided inside the connector cavity. The partition plate evenly divides the connector cavity into two spaces, and the extension direction of the partition plate is consistent with the stress direction of the connector due to the beam.
[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, the connector body is provided with several reinforcing ribs, and all of the reinforcing ribs are located at the center of the three connectors.
[0009] As an improvement to the above scheme, several reinforcing ribs are distributed in a mesh pattern and interwoven with each other, and each reinforcing rib is hollowly arranged between them.
[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, each of the three protruding ends of the connectors and the ends near the connector body is provided with a mesh reinforcing rib larger than the cross-section of the connector, and the extension direction of each reinforcing rib is consistent with the extension line direction of the end structure near the connector.
[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, the connector body is provided with a load-bearing end, which is solid and has the same shape as the extended trajectory of the three plugs near the connector body. The end of the load-bearing end away from the plugs has an arc-shaped edge.
[0012] As an improvement to the above solution, the connector body is provided with a first groove; the beam is provided with a second groove, and when the plug is inserted into the inner cavity of the beam, the second groove connects with the first groove, and the depths of the first groove and the second groove are the same.
[0013] As an improvement to the above solution, the depths of the first and second grooves are consistent with the thickness of the glass to be installed in the sunroom.
[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model uses a plug with a polygonal cross-section to disperse the stress from multiple directions, increasing the load-bearing capacity of the structure and improving its stability. This is different from the existing technology that uses single-panel structure parts to connect and fix the overall frame of the sunroom. Because the single-panel structure only has one side and bears the load in one direction, the stress is difficult to disperse, which can easily cause structural deformation and cracking.
[0016] 2. This utility model disperses some of the stress on the connector to the above-mentioned area by using several reinforcing ribs at the center of the connector, and further disperses this stress from multiple directions by using reinforcing ribs that are distributed in a mesh pattern.
[0017] 3. This utility model disperses the stress borne by the three connectors in the opposite direction by using a load-bearing end whose shape is the same as the extended trajectory of the end of the connector near the connector body. In addition, the arc-shaped edge of the load-bearing end reduces the existence of sharp and right-angled edges, thereby reducing stress concentration, avoiding cracking and deformation of the load-bearing end, and improving structural strength.

[0023] The above-described solution will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are generally those in routine experiments.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] A type of corner connector for sunrooms, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a connector body 1 and a beam 2; the connector body 1 is provided with three plugs 1001; each plug 1001 is connected to a beam 2; the beam 2 and the plugs 1001 are hollow, and the plugs 1001 are inserted into the inner cavity of the beam 2. The cross-section of each plug 1001 is polygonal; each plug 1001 is provided with a fixing hole 1005. After the plug 1001 is inserted into the inner cavity of the beam 2, the connection is reinforced by bolts passing through the beam 2 and the fixing hole 1005.
[0026] The connector 1001 is hollow inside, and a partition plate 100101 is provided inside the connector 1001. The partition plate 100101 divides the inside of the connector 1001 into two spaces evenly. The extension direction of the partition plate 100101 is consistent with the stress direction of the connector 1001 due to the beam 2, thereby optimizing the structural distribution and improving the structural stability.
[0027] The connector body 1 is provided with a number of reinforcing ribs 1004, and the number of reinforcing ribs 1004 are all located at the center of the three plugs 1001, which are used to concentrate and disperse part of the stress on each plug 1001 to the above-mentioned parts, thereby reducing the load-bearing pressure of the plug 1001.
[0028] Several reinforcing ribs 1004 are distributed in a mesh pattern and interwoven with each other. Furthermore, each reinforcing rib 1004 is hollow, which reduces the amount of profile material used while the mesh structure of the reinforcing ribs 1004 provides structural support in multiple directions, further improving the structural stability.
[0029] Each of the three connectors 1001 has a mesh reinforcing rib 1004 larger than the cross-section of the connector 1001 at the end of the connector 1001 extending outward. The extension direction of each reinforcing rib 1004 is consistent with the extension line of the end structure of the end near the connector 1001, so as to maximize the strength of each reinforcing rib 1004 and reduce stress concentration.
[0030] The connector body 1 is provided with a load-bearing end 1003, and the load-bearing end 1003 is solid. The shape of the load-bearing end 1003 is the same as the extension trajectory of the three plugs 1001 in the direction close to the connector body 1. The end of the load-bearing end 1003 away from the plugs 1001 is provided with an arc edge to reduce the existence of sharp angles and right angles, thereby reducing stress concentration and avoiding cracking and deformation of the load-bearing end 1003.
[0031] The connector body 1 is provided with a first groove 1002; the roof beam 2 is provided with a second groove 2001, and when the connector 1001 is inserted into the inner cavity of the roof beam 2, the second groove 2001 is connected with the first groove 1002. The first groove 1002 and the second groove 2001 have the same depth. The first groove 1002 and the second groove 2001 are used to install and support the sunroom glass.
[0032] The depths of the first groove 1002 and the second groove 2001 are consistent with the thickness of the glass to be installed in the sunroom, thus improving the aesthetics of the overall structure.
[0033] The specific workings of this utility model are as follows:
[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, firstly, the connector 1001 is inserted into the inner cavity of the beam 2, and the connection is reinforced by bolts passing through the beam 2 and the fixing hole 1005. This completes the splicing of the corner of the sunroom. It should be noted that the beam 2 and the connector 1001 are hollow, which reduces the amount of material used. Moreover, unlike the existing technology that uses single-panel structure parts to connect and fix the overall frame of the sunroom, the single-panel structure has only one side and one direction of load-bearing, making it difficult to distribute the stress, which can easily cause structural deformation and cracking. The connector 1001, with its polygonal cross-section, can distribute the stress from multiple directions, increase the load-bearing capacity of the structure, and improve the structural stability.
[0035] Furthermore, the partition plate 100101 of the inner cavity of the connector 1001 evenly divides its inner cavity into two spaces, so that the stress can be evenly distributed. Moreover, the extension direction of the partition plate 100101 is consistent with the direction of the maximum stress on the connector 1001 due to the beam 2, thereby reducing the structural load in the direction of the maximum stress, further optimizing the structural distribution, and improving the structural stability.
[0036] Furthermore, by using several reinforcing ribs 1004 at the center of the three connectors 1001, some of the stress on the connectors 1001 can be concentrated and dispersed to the aforementioned locations, and this stress can be further dispersed from multiple directions by being distributed in a mesh-like pattern. At the same time, the hollow arrangement between each reinforcing rib 1004 can reduce the amount of profile material used.
[0037] Further, refer to Figure 2 As shown, each of the three connectors 1001 has a mesh reinforcing rib 1004 larger than the cross-section of the connector 1001 at the end of the connector 1001 extending outwards. Furthermore, the extension direction of each reinforcing rib 1004 is consistent with the extension line direction of the end structure of the end near the connector 1001, thereby maximizing the strength of each reinforcing rib 1004 and reducing stress concentration.
[0038] Further, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the shape of the load-bearing end 1003 is the same as the extended trajectory of the three plugs 1001 near the end of the connector body 1, which can disperse the stress borne by the three plugs 1001 in the opposite direction. In addition, the end of the load-bearing end 1003 away from the plugs 1001 is set with an arc edge, reducing the existence of sharp and right angle edges, thereby reducing stress concentration and avoiding cracking and deformation of the load-bearing end 1003. Furthermore, the load-bearing end 1003 is solid, which improves weight and structural strength.
[0039] refer to Figure 3 As shown, after the splicing work of the corner of the sunroom is completed, the sunroom glass is installed in the first groove 1002 and the second groove 2001. Waterproof sealant is then applied to the gap between the first groove 1002, the second groove 2001 and the sunroom glass to complete the installation of the sunroom glass. It should be noted that the depth of the first groove 1002 and the second groove 2001 is consistent with the thickness of the sunroom glass to be installed, thereby improving the aesthetics of the overall structure.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the content described in the claims of the present utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
