Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of residual oil extraction technology, specifically, it relates to a wall panel positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] Prefabricated buildings refer to buildings where on-site construction work is transferred to factories, where building components and accessories are prefabricated and then assembled on-site. Prefabricated buildings mainly include precast concrete structures, steel structures, and modern wood structures. Among these, steel structure prefabricated buildings use a steel frame as a framework and are enclosed by external metal wall panels. They offer the advantage of rapid assembly and disassembly and are commonly used in various factories and temporary buildings.

[0003] During wall panel installation, tower cranes or lifting equipment are typically used to lift the panels by shifting them with balancing steel beams. After being slowly placed at the joint position on the column construction layer, manual alignment is then performed. This manual alignment requires workers to move the wall panel using the wall edge as a reference for positioning. For large and heavy wall panels, multiple workers are usually needed simultaneously to position and pre-fix the tongue and groove joints, making wall panel installation extremely difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a wall panel positioning device to simplify wall panel positioning operations, shorten construction time, and improve construction efficiency.

[0005] According to this utility model, a wall panel positioning device is provided, comprising: a main column, a sub-frame, corner protectors, and an outwardly flared panel. The top of the main column has two clamping grooves, the bottom of the sub-frame is disposed in the clamping grooves, the corner protectors are disposed on the inner side of the sub-frame and in contact with the sub-frame, and an extension protruding from the clamping grooves is provided between the two clamping grooves. A wall panel is disposed between the corner protectors and the extension. The outwardly flared panel is connected to the top of the sub-frame and extends obliquely away from the extension. The top of the extension is connected to an inclined portion, and each inclined portion forms an outwardly flared opening with the corresponding outwardly flared panel.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the subframe is provided with corner portions and protrusions on both sides, wherein the corner portions abut against the top and bottom surfaces of the clamping groove, and the protrusions are located within the clamping groove.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the two sidewalls of the wall panel are in contact with the corner protector and the extension edge, respectively.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the corner protectors are configured in an L-shape.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the corner protector has a stepped portion on its vertical side, and the bottom end of the wall panel abuts against the stepped portion.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the subframe is provided with an inner groove, and the outwardly extending panel includes a panel inclined relative to the subframe and a connector integrally formed with the panel and disposed in the inner groove.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the inner groove is configured as a trapezoid.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the subframe is provided with a slot on the side, and the wall panel positioning device further includes a fireproof sealing strip, which is snapped into the slot and fits against the side wall of the wall panel.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the corner protectors, subframe, and main post are fixed together with screws.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the subframe and corner protectors are fixedly connected to the wall panel by screws.

[0015] This utility model has at least the following technical effects:

[0016] According to this utility model, a main column, a subframe, corner protectors, and an outwardly flared panel are provided. The top of the main column has two grooves, the bottom of the subframe is set in the grooves, and the corner protectors are set inside the subframe and in contact with it. Since there is an extension protruding from the upper surface of the two grooves, a wall panel is installed between the corner protector and the extension. The outwardly flared panel is connected to the top of the subframe and extends obliquely away from the extension. The top of the extension is integrally connected to an inclined portion. Each inclined portion forms an outwardly flared opening with the corresponding outwardly flared panel. During the process of hoisting the wall panel to allow it to enter between the corner protector and the extension, when the edge of the wall panel approaches the inclined portion and the outwardly flared panel forming the outwardly flared opening, the flared opening can guide the edge of the wall panel. Therefore, it is only necessary to gradually push the wall panel between the corner protector and the extension. Compared with the fixed-size tongue-and-groove positioning of existing steel structure nodes, this simplifies the positioning operation, shortens construction time, and improves construction efficiency.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the wall panel positioning device 100 of this utility model includes: a main column 1, a sub-frame 2, corner protectors 3, and an outwardly expanding panel 4. The main column 1 is constructed as a vertically arranged column-shaped frame, which is a prefabricated steel structure longitudinal beam. Preferably, the main column 1 is formed from a square tube. The top of the main column 1 has two clamping grooves 11, and the bottom of the sub-frame 2 is disposed within the clamping grooves 11. Optionally, the two clamping grooves 11 are arranged side-by-side. The sub-frame 2 is constructed as a vertically arranged frame, with corner portions and protrusions on both sides of its bottom. The corner portions abut against both the top and bottom surfaces of the clamping grooves 11, and the protrusions are located within the clamping grooves 11. Specifically, during the installation of the sub-frame 2 within the clamping grooves 11, the corner portions of the sub-frame 2 are first obliquely inserted into one end of the clamping groove 11, and then the sub-frame 2 is rotated and pressed into the clamping groove 11. The protrusions on the bottom side of the sub-frame 2 pre-fix it within the clamping groove 11. The corner protector 3 is located inside the subframe 2 and in contact with the subframe 2. The height of the subframe 2 is greater than that of the corner protector 3.

[0025] The main column 1 has two protruding edges 12 between its two clamping grooves 11, and these two edges 12 are vertically arranged. The outer expansion panel 4 is connected to the top of the subframe 2 and extends obliquely outward, that is, obliquely upward away from the edges 12. The tops of the two edges 12 are each integrally connected to an inclined portion 13, each inclined portion 13 forming an outward flare with the corresponding outer expansion panel 4, and the tops of the two inclined portions 13 are integrally connected. It should be noted that, since the wall panel positioning device described in this utility model can simultaneously guide and position two wall panels 5, "corresponding" refers to the description of corresponding components that position or accommodate the same wall panel 5.

[0026] According to this utility model, a main column 1, a sub-frame 2, corner protectors 3, and an outer expansion panel 4 are provided. The top of the main column 1 has two clamping grooves 11, the bottom of the sub-frame 2 is disposed in the clamping grooves 11, and the corner protectors 3 are disposed on the inner side of the sub-frame 2 and are in contact with the sub-frame 2. Because there is an extension 12 protruding from the upper surface of the two clamping grooves 11, the corner guard 3 and the extension 12 are used to set the wall panel 5. The outer expansion panel 4 is connected to the top of the subframe 2 and extends obliquely away from the extension 12. The top of the extension 12 is integrally connected with an inclined part 13. Each inclined part 13 forms an outer flare with the corresponding outer expansion panel 4. During the process of hoisting the wall panel 5 so that it enters between the corner guard 3 and the extension 12, when the edge of the wall panel 5 approaches the inclined part 13 and the outer expansion panel 4 that form the outer flare, the flare formed by the inclined part 13 and the outer expansion panel 4 can guide the edge of the wall panel 5. Thus, it is only necessary to gradually push the wall panel 5 into the space between the corner guard 3 and the extension 12. Compared with the fixed-size tongue and groove positioning of the existing steel structure nodes, it can simplify the positioning operation, shorten the construction time, and improve the construction efficiency.

[0027] In one or more embodiments, the corner guards 3, the subframe 2, and the main column 1 are fixed by screws.

[0028] In one or more embodiments, the corner guard 3 is configured in an L-shape.

[0029] In one or more embodiments, the corner protector 3 has a vertical side and a horizontal side vertically connected to the bottom end of the vertical side, the horizontal side abutting against the portion of the subframe 2 within the groove 11, and a step portion 31 on the vertical side, the bottom end of the wall panel 5 abutting against the step portion 31.

[0030] In one or more embodiments, after the wall panel 5 is positioned, its two sidewalls contact the corner protector 3 and the extension edge 12, respectively. The subframe 2, the corner protector 3, and the wall panel 5 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, in one or more embodiments, an inner groove 22 is provided at the top of the subframe 2. The cross-section of the inner groove 22 is constructed to be trapezoidal. The outer expansion panel 4 includes a panel 41 inclined relative to the subframe 2 and a connector 42 integrally formed with the panel 41 and disposed in the inner groove 22, which mates with the inner groove 22. Specifically, during the process of installing the outer expansion panel 4 in the inner groove 22, the connector 42 is first inserted into one side of the inner groove 22, and then rotated to engage it within the inner groove 22. Rotating the connector 42 toward the wall panel 5 side allows the connector 42 to disengage from the inner groove 22, thereby removing the outer expansion panel 4.

[0032] In one or more embodiments, the subframe 2 has a slot 21 on its side. The wall panel positioning device 100 of this utility model also includes a fireproof sealing strip 6, which is snapped into the slot 21 and adheres to the side wall of the wall panel 5. The fireproof sealing strip 6 is located above the corner protector 3.

[0033] The working principle of the wall panel positioning device 100 of this utility model is briefly described below: During construction, the subframe 2 and corner guards 3 are first placed in place, and the corner guards 3, subframe 2, and main column 1 are fixed with screws. Then, the outward expansion panel 4 is installed on the subframe 2, followed by hoisting the wall panel 5. When the edge of the wall panel 5 approaches the inclined portions 13 and outward expansion panels 4 on both sides, the flared opening formed by the inclined portions 13 and outward expansion panels 4 guides the edge of the wall panel 5. Thus, the wall panel 5 only needs to be gradually pushed into the corner guard 3. Finally, the subframe 2, corner guards 3, and wall panel 5 are fixed with screws, and then the outward expansion panel 4 is removed. The outward expansion of the inclined portions 13 and outward expansion panels 4 facilitates the positioning and guidance of the wall panel 5. Compared with the fixed-size tongue-and-groove positioning of existing steel structure nodes, it simplifies the positioning operation, shortens the construction time, and improves construction efficiency.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made thereto and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner, provided there is no structural conflict. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
