Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum profiles, specifically to an aluminum profile structure. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum profiles are standardized industrial profiles made primarily of aluminum through an extrusion process. They offer advantages such as light weight, corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, and ease of processing and shaping, and are widely used in building frames, industrial equipment supports, and home decoration. Their cross-sections are typically hollow or irregularly shaped with fixing slots, allowing for the assembly of multiple profiles using connectors.

[0003] In existing technologies, the connection of multiple aluminum profiles generally uses bolt fastening. The specific operation process is as follows: during installation, the installation of each bolt requires four steps: "insertion-alignment-initial tightening-final tightening," and multiple people need to work together (e.g., one person fixes the profile, and another person tightens the bolt), resulting in a single node connection taking more than 15 minutes. During installation, holes need to be pre-drilled on the surface of the aluminum profile. Since the aluminum profile is an extruded hollow structure, direct tapping can easily lead to insufficient thread strength. Therefore, it is necessary to pre-drill precise holes on the end face or side wall of the profile connection. The hole alignment requirements are high. When connecting multiple profiles, it is necessary to ensure that the holes of adjacent profiles correspond perfectly. Once a deviation occurs, it is necessary to re-drill or enlarge the holes, which increases the material scrap rate. The bolt fastening process is cumbersome. Bolts and washers need to be inserted one by one, and nuts need to be tightened one by one with tools. Bolt connections require drilling holes on the surface of the profile, which destroys the closed hollow structure of the profile and leads to local stress concentration. When multiple aluminum profiles need to be connected using this method, workers need to drill threaded holes on the outer surface of the aluminum profiles before bolts can be used to connect them. This increases the workload of workers unnecessarily and is inconvenient for them to use. Therefore, the existing method of connecting multiple aluminum profiles with bolts makes it difficult to install multiple aluminum profiles together, resulting in a lot of time being spent on installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technical solutions, this utility model provides an aluminum profile structure that can effectively solve the technical problem that the existing method of connecting multiple aluminum profiles with bolts makes it inconvenient to install multiple aluminum profiles and requires a lot of time for installation.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an aluminum profile structure, including a first aluminum frame, a second aluminum frame, and a connector. The first aluminum frame is detachably connected to the second aluminum frame through the connector. Both the first and second aluminum frames include a hollow cylinder and a snap-fit ​​strip disposed on the outside of the cylinder.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 A detailed description of an aluminum profile structure according to this utility model is provided:

[0020] An aluminum profile structure includes a first aluminum frame 1, a second aluminum frame 2, and a connector 3. The first aluminum frame 1 is detachably connected to the second aluminum frame 2 via the connector 3. Both the first aluminum frame 1 and the second aluminum frame 2 include a hollow cylinder 202 and a snap-fit ​​strip 204 disposed outside the cylinder 202. One end of the cylinder 202 extends outward to form several fixing plates 205. The snap-fit ​​strip 204 is integrally formed with the cylinder 202 through the fixing plates 205. The connector 3 includes a connecting plate 301, a positioning rod 302 vertically disposed on the connecting plate 301, and two snap-fit ​​blocks 303. The two snap-fit ​​blocks 303 are symmetrically arranged, and one end of each snap-fit ​​block 303 extends outward. A snap-fit ​​portion 304 is formed. One end of the connecting plate 301 extends outward to form a sliding portion 306. A snap-fit ​​groove 201 is provided between the cylinder 202 and the snap-fit ​​strip 204. The snap-fit ​​block 303 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​groove 201. The surface of the snap-fit ​​portion 304 contacts the snap-fit ​​groove 201. One end of the snap-fit ​​strip 204 extends outward to form a positioning portion 206. The sliding portion 306 is slidably connected to the positioning portion 206. The inner wall of the cylinder 202 protrudes outward to form several square portions 203. The square portions 203 extend along the length direction of the cylinder 202. The surface of the positioning rod 302 is slidably connected to the square portions 203.

[0021] The surface of the sliding part 306 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip textures 305, which contact the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​strip 204. The snap-fit ​​strip 204 is a hollow structure. The surfaces of the connecting plate 301 and the snap-fit ​​strip 204 are on the same horizontal plane. The surface of the connecting plate 301 is provided with two limiting rods 307, which are symmetrically arranged. In use, one aluminum profile is detachably connected to the connector 3, and the other aluminum profile is welded to the connecting plate 301 of the connector 3. That is, the first aluminum frame 1 is welded to the connector 3, and the second aluminum frame 2 is detachably connected to the connector.

[0022] The anti-slip texture 305 on the surface of the sliding part 306 increases friction, enhancing the contact stability between the connector 3 and the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​strip 204, preventing loosening of the connection due to vibration or external force, and improving the overall reliability of the structure. The snap-fit ​​strip 204 adopts a hollow structure, reducing its own weight and material consumption while ensuring structural strength, and reducing the impact of thermal expansion and contraction on connection stability. The square part 203 on the inner wall of the cylinder 202 slides and engages with the positioning rod 302, effectively restricting the connector 3 and enhancing its torsional resistance. When installing multiple aluminum profiles, the connector 3 is slidably installed into the snap-fit ​​groove 201 of one of the aluminum profiles, so that the connector 3... The snap-fit ​​block 303 and snap-fit ​​groove 201 are detachably connected. The surface of the snap-fit ​​part 304 contacts the snap-fit ​​groove 201, and the sliding part 306 and the positioning part 206 are slidably connected to achieve the installation of one aluminum profile. In addition, another aluminum profile is directly and vertically inserted into the connector 3, so that the surface of the positioning rod 302 is slidably connected to the square part 203 of the other aluminum profile. The other aluminum profile is welded to the connecting plate 301, and the two aluminum profiles can be installed without the need for bolt drilling. The two aluminum profiles can be connected, reducing unnecessary workload.

[0023] The connecting plate 301 is 3mm thick and has a flat surface. It is used to support the mating surface of the aluminum frame. The positioning rod 302 is vertically welded to the center of the connecting plate 301. It has a diameter of 8mm and a length of 50mm. The surface is polished to Ra≤0.4μm. The snap-fit ​​block 303 is trapezoidal in shape and matches the trapezoidal cross section of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. After insertion, it is locked by friction. The tensile strength is ≥500N. The snap-fit ​​part 304 has triangular anti-slip textures 305 with a depth of 0.5mm and a spacing of 2mm. These textures contact the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​strip 204 to prevent slippage during assembly. The snap-fit ​​strip 204 is designed as a hollow structure with a wall thickness of 1.5mm. Both the first aluminum frame 1 and the second aluminum frame 2 are made of 6063-T5 aluminum alloy and their surfaces are anodized.

[0024] In this embodiment, an aluminum profile structure is detachably connected between a snap-fit ​​block 303 and a snap-fit ​​groove 201. The surface of the snap-fit ​​part 304 contacts the snap-fit ​​groove 201, and the sliding part 306 and the positioning part 206 are slidably connected. The surface of the positioning rod 302 is slidably connected to the square part 203. This enables the connector 3 to quickly install the first aluminum frame 1 and the second aluminum frame 2, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional bolt connection methods, which require drilling threaded holes on the outer surface of the aluminum profile and using bolts to connect the two aluminum profiles. This reduces unnecessary workload and facilitates the installation and disassembly of multiple aluminum profiles.

[0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
