Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a fastener for the butt joint assembly of wooden formwork. Background Technology

[0002] Building construction refers to the process of building various structures and buildings. It encompasses multiple stages, from site leveling and foundation construction to the erection of the main structure and decoration. Early planning and design, site surveys, and material preparation are essential. In building construction, wooden formwork plays a significant role. It provides precise shape and dimensions for concrete pouring, ensuring that building components, such as walls and columns, meet design requirements. It can withstand the weight of concrete and construction loads, ensuring construction safety. Wooden formwork is lightweight, easy to process, transport, and install, improving construction efficiency. Furthermore, it is relatively inexpensive, reusable, and effectively controls project costs, making it a commonly used formwork material in building construction.

[0003] When using wooden formwork, construction workers need to assemble multiple formwork panels into the required shape. Currently, workers often manually nail the panels together or use a pneumatic nail gun. While this method secures the formwork, it's cumbersome because it requires workers to drive multiple nails along the seams. When dismantling the formwork, workers often force it, which is time-consuming, laborious, and damages the edges, leaving many unusable nails. Some workers use two T-shaped plates or corner brackets to secure two formwork panels, then tighten them with bolts. However, this method requires tools to limit the nuts before disassembling the bolts, making it also cumbersome. Utility Model Content
