Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe connector technology, and in particular to a frame connector for improving installation efficiency and safety. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of frame connector installation technology, with the development of various construction projects, furniture manufacturing and other industries, the demand for frame connectors is constantly increasing. The traditional frame connector installation technology is constantly evolving, and its installation method directly affects the overall construction efficiency and the safety of construction personnel.
[0003] Currently, the main installation method for frame connectors involves passing pipes through them. During installation, the pipes are inserted into specific positions on the connectors to secure the various frame components. While this method meets basic installation requirements in some conventional environments, the existing method of directly passing pipes has significant shortcomings. For long-distance operations, accurately passing long pipes through the connectors is difficult, time-consuming, and prone to errors. In confined spaces, the limited operating space makes operation extremely inconvenient for workers, potentially preventing successful installation and severely impacting efficiency. Furthermore, working in confined spaces poses a safety hazard due to potential injuries from improper handling. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a frame connector for improving installation efficiency and safety. In practical use, this frame connector greatly improves installation efficiency while reducing the risk of injury to operators during operation, thus achieving a more efficient and safer installation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A frame connector for improving installation efficiency and safety includes a connecting pipe assembly consisting of a cover plate and a main body. Two connecting seats are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the main body, and each of the two connecting seats has a strip-shaped slot on its opposite side. Two inserts are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover plate, and each insert is slidably connected to its corresponding slot. A first connector includes a first limiting seat fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the cover plate, and the first limiting seat has a first settling thread groove. A plurality of side pipes are mounted on the side wall of the connecting pipe assembly, and each side pipe is provided with a second connector.
[0007] Preferably, the second connector includes a second limiting seat fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side tube, and the second limiting seat has a second settling thread groove.
[0008] Preferably, there is one side tube, which is a straight tube. One end of the side tube is fixedly connected to the main body, and the central axis of the side tube is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate.
[0009] Preferably, the number of side tubes is one, and it is a bent tube, with one end of the side tube fixedly connected to the main body.
[0010] Preferably, there is one side tube, which is a straight tube. One side of the side tube is fixedly connected to the main body, and the central axis of the side tube is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate.
[0011] Preferably, there are two side tubes, which are straight tubes. The opposite ends of the two side tubes are fixedly connected to the main body and the cover plate, respectively. The central axes of the two side tubes are perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate, and the two side tubes are coaxially arranged.
[0012] Preferably, there are two side tubes, which are straight tubes. One end of each side tube is fixedly connected to the main body. The central axis of each side tube is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate, and the included angle between the central axes of the two side tubes is 90°.
[0013] Preferably, there are four side tubes, which are straight tubes. One end of two of the side tubes is fixedly connected to the main body, and one end of the other two side tubes is fixedly connected to the cover plate. The central axis of each side tube is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate, and the included angle between the central axes of any two adjacent side tubes is 90°.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The frame connectors feature a detachable design. During installation, the open design significantly reduces the difficulty of placing pipes in long-distance or confined spaces.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Reference Figure 1 A frame connector for improving installation efficiency and safety includes a connecting pipe assembly, which consists of a cover plate 1 and a main body 2. Two connecting seats 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the main body 2. The connecting seats 3 are integrally cast with the main body 2 to withstand greater connection stress. Each of the two connecting seats 3 has a strip-shaped slot 4 on its opposite side. Two inserts 5 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover plate 1. Both inserts 5 are slidably connected to the corresponding slots 4. The dimensions of the slots 4 are precisely designed, and their width and depth match the inserts 5 to ensure that the inserts 5 can be smoothly inserted and the connection is secure.
[0026] The first connector includes a first limiting seat 6 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover plate 1. The first limiting seat 6 has a first sinking thread groove 7. The thread specification of the first sinking thread groove 7 is determined according to the actual use requirements. It can be used with corresponding bolts or screws to further limit the connecting pipe assembly on the pipe body to be connected. The sinking design allows the head of the bolt or screw to sink into the first limiting seat 6, avoiding protrusion that affects aesthetics and safety.
[0027] Several side tubes 8 are installed on the side wall of the connecting pipe assembly. Each side tube 8 is provided with a second connector. The second connector includes a second limiting seat 9 fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the side tube 8. The second limiting seat 9 is provided with a second settling thread groove 10. There is one side tube 8, which is a straight tube. One end of the side tube 8 is fixedly connected to the main body 2. The central axis of the side tube 8 is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate 1.
[0028] In this embodiment of the present invention, two vertical pipes are connected. During installation, the pipe is first inserted into the opening of the main body 2. Due to the opening design, the difficulty of placing the pipe is greatly reduced in long-distance or narrow space environments. After the pipe is placed, the cover plate 1 is pushed into the slot 4 of the main body 2 to cooperate with the main body 2. The separate structure of the cover plate 1 and the main body 2, as well as the slot 4 of the main body 2, make it easier for construction personnel to place the pipe into the opening of the main body 2 during long-distance operations, without the need for long-distance precise insertion operations as in the traditional method. In narrow spaces, the open structure of the main body 2 provides construction personnel with more operating space, making it easier to place the pipe. Then, the cover plate 1 is easily pushed in to complete the installation. The other end of the side pipe 8 is inserted into the pipe to be connected, and the limiting screw is installed through the first settling thread groove 7 and the second settling thread groove 10 to complete the overall limiting connection operation.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Reference Figure 2 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that there is only one side tube 8, which is a bent tube, and one end of the side tube 8 is fixedly connected to the main body 2.
[0031] In this utility model, two pipes connected at a certain angle are used to connect them. During installation, the pipe is first inserted into the opening of the main body 2. Due to the opening design, the difficulty of placing the pipe is greatly reduced in long-distance or narrow space environments. After the pipe is placed, the cover plate 1 is pushed into the slot 4 of the main body 2 to cooperate with the main body 2. The separate structure of the cover plate 1 and the main body 2, as well as the slot 4 of the main body 2, make it easier for construction personnel to place the pipe into the opening of the main body 2 during long-distance operations, without the need for long-distance precise insertion operations as in the traditional method. In narrow spaces, the open structure of the main body 2 provides construction personnel with more operating space, making it easier to place the pipe. Then, the cover plate 1 is easily pushed in to complete the installation. The other end of the side pipe 8 is inserted into the pipe to be connected, and the limiting screw is installed through the first settling thread groove 7 and the second settling thread groove 10 to complete the overall limiting connection operation.
[0032] Example 3
[0033] Reference Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that there is only one side tube 8, which is a straight tube. One side of the side tube 8 is fixedly connected to the main body 2, and the central axis of the side tube 8 is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate 1.
[0034] In this utility model, two pipes are connected vertically and are not connected at the ends. During installation, the pipe is first inserted into the opening of the main body 2. Due to the opening design, the difficulty of placing the pipe is greatly reduced in long-distance or narrow space environments. After the pipe is placed, the cover plate 1 is pushed into the slot 4 of the main body 2 to cooperate with the main body 2. The separate structure of the cover plate 1 and the main body 2, as well as the slot 4 of the main body 2, make it easier for construction workers to place the pipe into the opening of the main body 2 during long-distance operations, without the need for long-distance precise insertion operations as in traditional methods. In narrow spaces, the open structure of the main body 2 provides construction workers with more operating space, making it easier to place the pipe. Then, the cover plate 1 is easily pushed in to complete the installation. The pipe to be connected is inserted through the side pipe 8, and the limiting screw is installed through the first settlement thread groove 7 and the second settlement thread groove 10 to complete the overall limiting connection operation.
[0035] Example 4
[0036] Reference Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that there are two side tubes 8, and they are straight tubes. The opposite ends of the two side tubes 8 are fixedly connected to the main body 2 and the cover plate 1, respectively. The central axis of the two side tubes 8 is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate 1, and the two side tubes 8 are coaxially arranged.
[0037] In this invention, three pipes are connected, with one pipe perpendicular to the other two and the other two coaxial. During installation, the pipe is first inserted through the opening of the main body 2. Due to the opening design, the difficulty of placing the pipe is greatly reduced in long-distance or narrow-space environments. After placing the pipe, the cover plate 1 is pushed into the slot 4 of the main body 2 to cooperate with the main body 2. The separate structure of the cover plate 1 and the main body 2, as well as the slot 4 of the main body 2, make it easier for construction workers to place the pipe into the opening of the main body 2 during long-distance operations, without the need for long-distance precise insertion operations as in traditional methods. In narrow spaces, the open structure of the main body 2 provides construction workers with more operating space, facilitating the placement of the pipe. Then, the cover plate 1 is easily pushed in to complete the installation. The pipe to be connected is inserted into the other end of the two side pipes 8, and the limiting screws are installed through the first settling thread groove 7 and the second settling thread groove 10 to complete the overall limiting connection operation.
[0038] Example 5
[0039] Reference Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that there are two side tubes 8, and they are straight tubes. One end of each of the two side tubes 8 is fixedly connected to the main body 2. The central axis of each of the two side tubes 8 is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate 1, and the included angle between the central axes of the two side tubes 8 is 90°.
[0040] In this invention, three pipes are connected. The pipes at the two side pipes 8 are perpendicular to the pipes that limit the connection assembly, while the pipes at the two side pipes 8 are at 90°. During installation, the pipes are first inserted into the opening of the main body 2. Due to the opening design, the difficulty of placing the pipes in long-distance or narrow space environments is greatly reduced. After placing the pipes, the cover plate 1 is pushed into the slot 4 of the main body 2 to cooperate with the main body 2. The separate structure of the cover plate 1 and the main body 2, as well as the slot 4 of the main body 2, make it easier for construction personnel to place the pipes into the opening of the main body 2 during long-distance operations, without the need for long-distance precise insertion operations as in traditional methods. In narrow spaces, the open structure of the main body 2 provides construction personnel with more operating space, facilitating the placement of the pipes. Then, the cover plate 1 is easily pushed in to complete the installation. The pipes to be connected are inserted into the other end of the two side pipes 8, and the limiting screws are installed through the first settling thread groove 7 and the second settling thread groove 10 to complete the overall limiting connection operation.
[0041] Example 6
[0042] Reference Figure 6The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that there are four side tubes 8, and they are straight tubes. One end of two side tubes 8 is fixedly connected to the main body 2, and one end of the other two side tubes 8 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 1. The central axis of each side tube 8 is perpendicular to the central axis of the cover plate 1, and the included angle between the central axes of every two adjacent side tubes 8 is 90°.
[0043] In this utility model, five pipes are connected. The pipes limited by the four side pipes 8 are all perpendicular to the pipes limited by the connecting pipe assembly, and the pipes limited by two adjacent side pipes 8 are also perpendicular. During installation, the pipe is first inserted into the opening of the main body 2. At this time, due to the opening design, the difficulty of placing the pipe is greatly reduced in long-distance or narrow space environments. After the pipe is placed, the cover plate 1 is pushed in along the slot 4 of the main body 2 to cooperate with the main body 2 for installation. The separate structure design of the cover plate 1 and the main body 2 and the setting of the slot 4 of the main body 2 make it easier for construction personnel to put the pipe into the opening of the main body 2 during long-distance operations, without the need for long-distance precise insertion operations as in the traditional method. In narrow spaces, the open structure of the main body 2 provides construction personnel with more operating space, which facilitates the placement of the pipe. Then, the cover plate 1 is easily pushed in to complete the installation. The pipe to be connected is inserted into the other end of the four side pipes 8, and the limiting screw is installed through the first settling thread groove 7 and the second settling thread groove 10 to complete the overall limiting connection operation.
