Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of louver technology, and specifically refers to an end cap for louver blades. Background technology:

[0002] The venetian blind includes a frame and multiple blades. The frame is a rectangular structure composed of two vertical frames and two horizontal frames. The two ends of the blades are rotatably connected to the corresponding vertical frames. Each blade includes a hollow blade body with open ends and two end caps respectively covering the two ends of the blade body. The end caps have round holes for inserting one end of a rotating pin. The other end of the rotating pin is inserted into the frame. The end caps are rotatably connected to the frame through the rotating pin.

[0003] During installation, one end of the rotating pin is first inserted into the end cap, and the other end is inserted into one of the vertical frames. After all the blades are installed, the rotating pin is then inserted into the end cap at the other end of the blade. Finally, the other vertical frame is installed. It is difficult to align all the rotating pins with the vertical frame at once, making installation inconvenient. When blades need to be replaced, one of the vertical frames must be disassembled before replacement. After replacement, the vertical frame must be aligned with all the rotating pins at once, making blade replacement inconvenient. Utility Model Content:

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 —4:

[0030] An end cap for a louver blade includes an end cap body 1. The end cap body 1 has a hollow and open mounting post 2 on one side near the blade body. A plug 3 is provided at the opening of the mounting post 2. The plug 3 is detachably connected to the mounting post 2. A rotating pin 4 is slidably provided inside the mounting post 2. A spring 5 is provided between the rotating pin 4 and the plug 3. A limiting boss 6 is provided on the inner side wall of the mounting post 2 away from the plug 3. A limiting block 7 is provided on the rotating pin 4 to abut against and limit the limiting boss 6. The end cap body 1 has a through hole 8 for the rotating pin 4 to extend out.

[0031] The installation process of the blade of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown, a frame is formed by two vertical frames and two horizontal frames. The end cap of this utility model is inserted into the blade body to form a blade. The rotating pin 4 is pressed inward to compress the spring 5 until the rotating pin 4 is completely retracted into the through hole 8. Then the blade is inserted between the two vertical frames. After the blade is installed in place, the rotating pin 4 extends out of the through hole 8 and is inserted into the mounting hole of the vertical frame under the action of the spring force of the spring 5, thus completing the installation of the blade.

[0032] When the blade body is damaged and needs to be replaced, insert a knife between the end cap and the vertical frame, and cut the rotating pin 4 with the knife to remove the blade. Then install the new blade according to the above installation method. The replaced blade can still be used after replacing the blade body and rotating pin 4.

[0033] The rotating pin 4 of this invention is slidably mounted inside the mounting post 2 of the end cap body 1, and is reset by the spring 5. This allows the frame to be installed first, and then the blades to be installed one by one, without having to align all the rotating pins 4 at once, which is convenient for installation. At the same time, when the blade needs to be replaced, only the blade to be replaced needs to be removed and the new blade is installed, making blade replacement convenient. In addition, the plug 3 is detachably connected to the mounting post 2. After removing the plug 3, a new rotating pin 4 can be replaced, reusing the end cap body 1, the plug 3, and the spring 5, effectively saving replacement costs.

[0034] The structure of the plug 3 and its detachable connection structure with the mounting post 2: such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the plug 3 includes a sealing plate 3a and a sleeve 3b that inserts into the mounting post 2. The spring 5 is disposed inside the sleeve 3b near the end of the plug 3. A locking block 3c is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 3b, and a locking groove 9 is provided on the side wall of the mounting post 2. The plug 3 is detachably connected to the mounting post 2 through the locking block 3c and the locking groove 9. The structure is simple and easy to process and install.

[0035] In order to guide the spring 5, the limiting block 7 is provided with a guide post 19, and the end of the spring 5 near the rotating pin 4 is fitted onto the guide post 19.

[0036] To facilitate the insertion of the plug 3 into the mounting post 2, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting post 2 is provided with a guide groove 10 for guiding the locking block 3c. The guide groove 10 is located on the side of the slot 9 near the plug 3. The guide groove 10 includes an inclined surface 10a and two side surfaces 10b disposed on the side of the inclined surface 10a. The inclined surface 10a connects the end face of the mounting post 2 and the inner wall, and gradually slopes towards the center from the end face of the mounting post 2 to the inner wall. The locking block 3c enters the slot through the guide groove 10.

[0037] Furthermore, the side surface 10b is triangular.

[0038] To facilitate the entry of the card block 3c into the card slot 9, the end face of the card block 3c away from the sealing plate 3a is an inclined plane 11, and the inclined plane 11 gradually slopes from the side of the card block 3c to the outer wall of the sleeve 3b towards the center.

[0039] For automated production, the card block 3c can be aligned with the slot 9 on the mounting post 2, such as... Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the mounting post 2 has a positioning plane 15 inside, the sleeve 3b has a positioning plane 2 16 that is adapted to the positioning plane 15, and the locking block 3c is set on the positioning plane 2 16.

[0040] Furthermore, the limiting block 7 is provided with a positioning plane 3 17 that is adapted to the positioning plane 15.

[0041] In order to ensure a secure connection between the plug 3 and the mounting post 2, two of the locking block 3c, the locking groove 9 and the guide groove 10 are respectively arranged opposite each other. Correspondingly, two of the positioning plane 15, the positioning plane 2 16 and the positioning plane 3 17 are respectively arranged opposite each other.

[0042] To better limit the rotation pin 4, the limiting boss 6 is annular, and the diameter of the through hole 8 is equal to the inner diameter of the limiting boss 6.

[0043] To facilitate the rotation of pin 4 into the inner hole of limiting boss 6 during installation, such as... Figure 2-4 As shown, the inner wall of the limiting boss 6 is connected to its end face near the plug 3 via a conical surface 12. A frustum 13 is provided between the limiting block 7 and the rotating pin 4. The outer wall of the frustum 13 is adapted to the conical surface 12. The outer wall of the rotating pin 4 is connected to its end face away from the frustum 13 via a conical surface 14.

[0044] To reduce the weight of this invention and to facilitate cutting the rotating pin 4 with a knife when replacing the blades, the rotating pin 4 is a hollow structure.

[0045] The end cap body 1 and the blade body have a detachable connection structure: the end cap body 1 has multiple hollow and open inserts 18 on the side near the blade body, the inserts 18 are adapted to the end of the blade body, and the mounting post 2 is located in the insert 18 located in the middle. The end cap body 1 is inserted into the blade body through the inserts 18.

[0046] Preferably, the end cap body 1, the plug 3 and the rotating pin 4 are made of plastic. The mounting post 2, the limiting boss 6, the insert block 18 and the end cap body 1 are integrally formed by injection molding. The limiting block 7, the guide post 19 and the rotating pin 4 are integrally formed by injection molding.

[0047] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
