Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building decoration installation technology, specifically to an aluminum single-panel installation mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum single-layer panels are architectural decorative materials that have undergone chromating and other treatments, followed by fluorocarbon spraying technology. Their structure mainly consists of a panel, reinforcing ribs, and corner brackets. They offer advantages such as light weight, high rigidity, high strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of processing. Furthermore, the coating is uniform, available in various colors, and resistant to staining, making them easy to clean and maintain. Installation is convenient and quick, and they are recyclable, contributing to environmental friendliness. Therefore, they are widely used in the field of architectural curtain wall decoration.

[0003] Currently, aluminum panels are typically installed by directly mounting them to the metal keel of the wall using stainless steel angle brackets, leaving a 1-2 cm gap between the panels. This gap is then filled with foam rods and sealed with sealant. This traditional installation method has many problems in practical applications.

[0004] First, sealant is prone to aging, leading to a gradual decline in the waterproofing performance of the gaps. Over time, this can cause water seepage, affecting the building's lifespan and safety. Second, the construction process is cumbersome, typically requiring two stages: the first stage involves the uniform installation of aluminum panels, and the second stage involves the uniform filling with foam rods and the application of sealant. Since the sealant requires time to dry, this segmented construction method significantly extends the overall construction period and increases costs.

[0005] Furthermore, the sealant application process requires a high level of technical skill from the workers, especially beginners, whose rework rate can reach as high as 30%, and the material consumption increases exponentially when cleaning and reapplying. When working at heights, labor costs surge by 200%, and additional auxiliary equipment such as suspended platforms or scaffolding are also required, further increasing the complexity of the construction and safety risks.

[0006] From an aesthetic perspective, the 1-2 cm wide gaps created by traditional installation methods are quite noticeable on building facades, affecting the overall aesthetics and visual effect, and failing to meet the requirements of modern architecture for refined decorative effects. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an aluminum single-panel installation mechanism that can not only ensure good waterproof performance, but also simplify the construction process, shorten the construction cycle, and improve the appearance.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0009] An aluminum panel installation mechanism includes multiple adjacent aluminum panels, which are interconnected by edge folding. The left and right edges of adjacent aluminum panels are interlocked by folding to achieve splicing in the left and right direction; the upper and lower edges of adjacent aluminum panels are interlocked by folding to achieve splicing in the upper and lower direction; the interlocking and interlocking connections work together to form a waterproof and sealed structure.

[0010] Furthermore: the interlocking connection of the left and right edges includes: the right edge of the left aluminum panel is provided with an outward folded edge; the left edge of the right aluminum panel is provided with an inward folded edge; the folded edge of the left edge of the right aluminum panel is fastened to the folded edge of the right edge of the left aluminum panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the interlocking connection of the upper and lower edges includes: the upper edge of the lower aluminum panel is provided with an upwardly protruding edge; the lower edge of the upper aluminum panel is provided with a downwardly recessed edge; the recessed edge of the lower edge of the upper aluminum panel and the protruding edge of the upper edge of the lower aluminum panel form an interlocking fit.

[0012] Furthermore: the right edge of the left aluminum panel is folded back and fixed to the metal keel by stainless steel corner brackets, and the right aluminum panel is fixed to the metal keel by stainless steel corner brackets at the top and bottom positions.

[0013] Furthermore: the upper convex edge of the lower aluminum panel is fixed to the metal keel by stainless steel angle brackets, and the lower concave edge of the upper aluminum panel is fixed by inserting stainless steel angle brackets into the gap between the lower aluminum panel and the metal keel.

[0014] Furthermore, the stainless steel angle bracket is fixed using a water-stop screw, which includes a screw body and a plastic washer set on the screw body.

[0015] Furthermore, the waterproof sealing structure formed by the interlocking and interlocking connections can keep water out of the exterior facade, achieving a crack-clearing installation effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the aluminum panel is a building decoration material processed by chromating and fluorocarbon spraying technology.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] I. Significantly Improved Waterproofing Performance. This utility model achieves waterproof sealing through an interlocking and interlocking mechanical connection structure formed by the folded edges of the aluminum single panel. This avoids the problem of traditional sealants aging and causing a decline in waterproofing performance, fundamentally solving the technical problem of poor waterproofing performance at gaps.

[0019] Second, the construction process is greatly simplified. This utility model adopts a mechanical connection method, eliminating the need for foam rods and weather-resistant sealant, and combining the traditional two construction steps into one, thus solving the problem of cumbersome construction procedures.

[0020] Third, the construction period is significantly shortened. Since there is no need to wait for the sealant to dry completely and secondary construction is avoided, the problem of long construction periods is effectively solved.

[0021] IV. Significantly Improved Appearance. This utility model achieves seamless installation, resulting in small and uniform gaps, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing and clean facade, thus solving the problem of unattractive appearance associated with traditional methods.

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] The aluminum panel installation mechanism provided by this utility model includes multiple adjacent aluminum panels, which are interconnected by edge folding. The core of this installation mechanism lies in employing two different connection methods: the left and right edges of adjacent aluminum panels are interlocked through folding, achieving left-right splicing; the top and bottom edges of adjacent aluminum panels are interlocked through folding, achieving top-bottom splicing. These two connection methods work together to form a complete waterproof and sealed structure.

[0028] For the interlocking connection in the left and right directions, the specific structure is as follows: the right edge of the left aluminum panel 1 has an outwardly folded edge 3, which forms an outwardly protruding structure; the left edge of the right aluminum panel 2 has an inwardly folded edge 4, which forms a snap-fit ​​structure. During installation, the folded edge 4 of the left edge of the right aluminum panel 2 snaps onto the folded edge 3 of the right edge of the left aluminum panel 1, forming a tight mechanical connection. This snap-fit ​​method not only ensures a tight connection between the two aluminum panels but also effectively prevents the infiltration of external moisture.

[0029] For the vertical interlocking connection, the specific structure is as follows: the upper edge of the lower aluminum panel 6 has an upwardly protruding edge 8, which forms an upwardly projecting structure; the lower edge of the upper aluminum panel 5 has a downwardly recessed edge 7, which forms a groove structure that can accommodate the protruding edge. During installation, the recessed edge 7 of the lower edge of the upper aluminum panel 5 and the protruding edge 8 of the upper edge of the lower aluminum panel 6 interlock, and the two aluminum panels are tightly connected through this convex-concave fit.

[0030] During the installation process, the right edge 3 of the left aluminum panel 1 is fixed to the metal keel using stainless steel angle brackets. At this point, the gap between the left aluminum panel 1 and the keel is only the thickness of the stainless steel angle brackets. The right aluminum panel 2 is fixed to the metal keel using stainless steel angle brackets at the top and bottom, while its left edge 4 fastens to the right edge 3 of the left aluminum panel 1, forming an interlocking connection in the left and right directions.

[0031] For vertical installation, the upper protruding edge 8 of the lower aluminum panel 6 is first fixed to the metal keel using stainless steel angle brackets. When installing the upper aluminum panel 5, the lower concave edge 7 of the upper aluminum panel 5 is fitted with stainless steel angle brackets, and then these stainless steel angle brackets are inserted into the gap between the lower aluminum panel 6 and the metal keel, so that the concave edge 7 of the upper aluminum panel 5 and the protruding edge 8 of the lower aluminum panel 6 form an interlocking fit, completing the vertical connection.

[0032] To further enhance waterproofing performance and installation reliability, the stainless steel angle brackets are secured with water-stop screws. These screws consist of a screw body and a plastic washer mounted on the screw body. The plastic washer forms a seal at the contact point between the screw and the aluminum panel or angle bracket, preventing moisture from seeping in through the screw hole and further strengthening the overall waterproofing effect.

[0033] The waterproof sealing structure formed by the interlocking and embedding connections described above can keep water out of the exterior facade, achieving a seamless installation effect. Seamless installation refers to the fact that the gaps between the aluminum panels are very small and uniform, eliminating the need for foam filling or weather-resistant sealant. This mechanical waterproofing method avoids the aging problems of traditional sealants, ensuring long-term stable waterproof performance.

[0034] The aluminum panels used in this invention are architectural decorative materials processed through chromating and fluorocarbon spraying, exhibiting excellent corrosion resistance and decorative effects. The installation mechanism of this invention not only maintains the original superior performance of the aluminum panels but also solves many problems associated with traditional installation methods through innovative connection techniques.

[0035] Throughout the installation process, the use of mechanical connections eliminates the need for sealing with foam rods and weather-resistant sealant, greatly simplifying the construction process, shortening the construction cycle, reducing material and labor costs, while achieving better aesthetics and more reliable waterproofing performance.

[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
