Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aluminum alloy materials and structural design technology, and in particular to an aluminum alloy structural frame. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, aluminum alloys are widely used in structural framing due to their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. In recent years, with the increasing demands for lightweighting and energy conservation in the construction and transportation industries, the demand for aluminum alloy structural frames has grown significantly.

[0003] In the existing technology, when connecting parts of aluminum alloy structural frames, bolts and nuts are usually used to install and fix the components on the frame.

[0004] The aforementioned technologies, which use bolts and nuts for connection, require a significant amount of time and effort to install, thus affecting installation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problem that bolt and nut connections require a significant amount of time and effort for installation, thus affecting installation efficiency, this application provides an aluminum alloy structural frame.

[0006] This application provides an aluminum alloy structural frame, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An aluminum alloy structural frame includes multiple connectors and multiple aluminum alloy beams and columns. The connectors are connected to multiple sets of tenons. Both ends of the aluminum alloy beams and columns are provided with mounting holes for use with the tenons. The aluminum alloy beams and columns are provided with pins. The surfaces of the aluminum alloy beams and columns and the tenons are provided with pin holes for use with the pins. The connectors are connected to the aluminum alloy beams and columns through the cooperation of the tenons and pins.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, using the prefabricated tenon and the insertion of the mounting hole, combined with the lateral locking of the pin, rapid positioning and installation can be achieved. Compared with the disassembly of the bolt connection, the reversible connection of the pin allows for the replacement of partial components without the need for overall disassembly. The insertion of the pin is simple and much faster than tightening multiple bolts or welding, making it convenient for users to replace components, saving time and effort, and improving the efficiency of installation and replacement.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the aluminum alloy beam and column is provided with four fixing grooves for wall panel embedding, and the fixing grooves are evenly distributed on the surface of the aluminum alloy beam and column.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing groove provides a standardized embedding track for wall panels (such as metal panels, composite panels, glass panels, etc.), eliminating the need for on-site measurement and positioning, greatly improving installation speed and accuracy. The matching buckles or flanges on the edge of the wall panel can be directly embedded into the fixing groove, realizing "dry" rapid installation, eliminating tedious processes such as drilling, nailing or welding, significantly improving construction efficiency. The four fixing grooves allow the wall panel to flexibly choose the installation direction (such as vertical, horizontal or specific angle) according to design requirements, adapting to the requirements of different building facades and functional areas.

[0011] Preferably, square holes are provided at the four corners of the top of the aluminum alloy beam and column, and the depth of the square holes is the same as the length of the aluminum alloy beam and column.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, electrical wires, communication lines, water supply and drainage pipes can be installed in the square holes at the four corners, avoiding the installation of electrical wires, communication lines, water supply and drainage pipes on the surface of aluminum alloy beams and columns, which would affect the aesthetics of aluminum alloy beams and columns, reduce weight, and at the same time retain a certain strength and rigidity. The square hole structure can provide better heat insulation and sound insulation.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting holes at the upper and lower ends of the aluminum alloy beam and column are interconnected.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the traditional independent holes at both ends need to be strictly aligned with the tenons, while the through hole only requires the beam and column to be put into the tenon and slid into place, without the need for precise synchronous alignment of the holes at both ends, which greatly simplifies the operation difficulty at high altitudes or in narrow spaces.

[0015] Preferably, two adjacent tenons on the connector are perpendicular to each other, and the included angle between two opposing tenons is 180 degrees.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a "spatial rectangular coordinate system reference" is essentially provided for the structure. Construction workers only need to assemble according to the tenon direction to quickly build a square and regular grid-like frame (such as the bay, depth and floor height of the building), which greatly reduces the complexity of measurement and layout.

[0017] Preferably, the tenon on the connector is configured as a conical shape at the end away from the connector, and the tenons are interconnected.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the end of the tenon away from the connecting block into a conical shape, it is easier for the tenon to be inserted into the aluminum alloy beams and columns on the aluminum alloy frame, making it easier for users to quickly align and install, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0019] Preferably, the surface of the pin has a limiting hole for inserting a pin.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the pins can be limited to prevent them from falling off during use, making the splicing between the aluminum alloy beams and columns and the connectors more secure.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. The prefabricated tenon and mounting hole are used for interlocking, combined with the lateral locking of the pin, to achieve quick positioning and installation. The reversible connection of the pin is more detachable than the bolt connection, so that the replacement of partial components does not require the whole disassembly. The insertion of the pin is simple and much faster than tightening multiple bolts or welding, which makes it easy for users to replace, saves time and effort, and improves the efficiency of installation and replacement.

[0023] 2. The fixing groove provides a standardized embedding track for wall panels (such as metal panels, composite panels, glass panels, etc.), eliminating the need for on-site measurement and positioning, greatly improving installation speed and accuracy. The matching buckles or flanges on the edge of the wall panel can be directly embedded into the fixing groove, achieving "dry" rapid installation. This eliminates tedious processes such as drilling, nailing, or welding, significantly improving construction efficiency. The four fixing grooves allow the wall panel to flexibly choose the installation direction (such as vertical, horizontal, or a specific angle) according to design requirements, adapting to the requirements of different building facades and functional zones.

[0024] 3. The square holes at the four corners can be used to install electrical wires, communication lines, water supply and drainage pipes, etc., avoiding the installation of electrical wires, communication lines, water supply and drainage pipes on the surface of aluminum alloy beams and columns, which would affect the aesthetics of aluminum alloy beams and columns, reduce weight, and at the same time retain a certain strength and rigidity. The square hole structure can provide better heat insulation and sound insulation. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0034] This application discloses an aluminum alloy structural frame.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An aluminum alloy structural frame includes multiple connectors 1 and multiple aluminum alloy beams 2. Multiple sets of tenons 3 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connectors 1. Both ends of the aluminum alloy beams 2 are provided with mounting holes 4 for use with the tenons 3. The aluminum alloy beams 2 are provided with pins 5, which can be disassembled. The surfaces of the aluminum alloy beams 2 and the tenons 3 are provided with pin holes 9 for use with the pins 5. The pins 5 are located in the pin holes 9. The connectors 1 are connected to the aluminum alloy beams 2 through the cooperation of the tenons 3 and the pins 5.

[0036] By using the prefabricated tenon 3 to engage with the mounting hole 4, combined with the lateral locking of the pin 5, quick positioning and installation can be achieved. The reversible connection of the pin 5, compared with the disassembly of the bolt connection, allows for the replacement of partial components without the need for overall disassembly. The insertion of the pin 5 is simple and much faster than tightening multiple bolts or welding, making it convenient for users to replace components, saving time and effort, and improving installation and replacement efficiency.

[0037] refer to Figure 2 The aluminum alloy beam and column 2 has four fixing grooves 6 for wall panel embedding on its surface. The fixing grooves 6 are evenly distributed around the four sides of the aluminum alloy beam and column 2. The fixing grooves 6 provide a standardized embedding track for wall panels (such as metal panels, composite panels, glass panels, etc.), eliminating the need for on-site measurement and positioning, greatly improving installation speed and accuracy. The wall panel edges are designed with matching buckles or flanges that can be directly embedded into the fixing grooves 6, achieving "dry" rapid installation. This eliminates tedious processes such as drilling, nailing, or welding, significantly improving construction efficiency. The four fixing grooves 6 allow the wall panels to flexibly choose the installation direction (such as vertical, horizontal, or a specific angle) according to design requirements, adapting to the requirements of different building facades and functional areas.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4Square holes 7 are provided at the four corners of the top of the aluminum alloy beam-column 2. The depth of the square holes 7 is the same as the length of the aluminum alloy beam-column 2. By setting the square holes 7, electrical wires, communication lines, water supply and drainage pipes can be installed in the square holes 7 at the four corners. This avoids the installation of electrical wires, communication lines, water supply and drainage pipes on the surface of the aluminum alloy beam-column 2, which would affect the aesthetics of the aluminum alloy beam-column 2. It also reduces the weight while maintaining a certain strength and rigidity. The square hole 7 structure can provide good heat insulation and sound insulation.

[0039] refer to Figure 5 The mounting holes 4 at the upper and lower ends of the aluminum alloy beam and column 2 are interconnected. By connecting the mounting holes 4, the beam and column can be simply inserted into the tenon 3 and slid into place without the need for precise synchronous alignment of the holes at both ends, which greatly simplifies the operation at high altitudes or in confined spaces.

[0040] refer to Figure 6 The tenon 3 on the connector 1 is set in a conical shape at the end away from the connector 1, and the tenons 3 are interconnected. By setting the end of the tenon 3 away from the connector block in a conical shape, it is easier for the tenon 3 to be inserted into the aluminum alloy beam and column 2 on the aluminum alloy frame, which makes it easier for users to quickly align and install, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0041] refer to Figure 6 The two adjacent tenons 3 on the connector 1 are perpendicular to each other, and the included angle between two opposite tenons 3 is 180 degrees; essentially, it provides a "spatial rectangular coordinate system reference" for the structure. Construction workers only need to assemble according to the tenon direction to quickly build a square and regular grid-like frame (such as the bay, depth and floor height of a building), which greatly reduces the complexity of measurement and layout.

[0042] refer to Figure 7 The surface of the pin 5 is provided with a limiting hole 8 for inserting a pin; by setting the limiting hole 8, the pin 5 is inserted into the tenon 3 on the connector 1 and the pin hole 9 on the aluminum alloy beam 2, and then the pin is inserted into the limiting hole 8 to limit the pin 5, preventing the pin 5 from falling off, and making the splicing between the aluminum alloy beam 2 and the connector 1 more secure.

[0043] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: In implementation, by inserting the tenon 3 on the connector 1 into the mounting hole 4 on the aluminum alloy beam and column 2, the pin hole 9 on the tenon 3 is aligned with the pin hole 9 on the aluminum alloy beam and column 2. Then, the pin 5 is inserted into the aligned pin hole 9, and the pin is inserted into the limiting hole 8 on the pin 5 to limit the pin 5, thereby fixing the connector 1 and the aluminum alloy beam and column 2. By repeatedly performing the splicing operation, an aluminum alloy structural frame is formed, which is convenient for users to splice and install, saves time and effort, and improves installation efficiency.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
