Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of louvered opening and closing tents, specifically relating to a novel installation structure of louvered slats and end caps. Background Technology
[0002] Louvered tents are a common facility in daily life, often used for outdoor shelter from wind and rain. The louvers on the tent roof typically consist of louvered slats and end caps. Louvered slats are mainly of two types: closed slats and single-layer open slats. In single-layer open slat installations, the connection between the slats and end caps is usually divided into single-connector installation or a combination of connector and connecting plate installation. The combination of connector and connecting plate installation involves welding the connecting plate to one side of the slat. The connector has two connecting holes in different directions that interlock with the connecting plate and end cap, allowing screws and other fasteners to be hidden on one side of the slat after connection, ensuring the overall aesthetic integrity of the product. However, this manufacturing process increases the need for connecting plate accessories and welding steps, raising production costs.
[0003] When installing a single connector, the connector has two connecting holes in different directions, which interlock with the strip and the end cap respectively, thus securing the end cap to the strip. This connection method requires connecting holes to be made on the strip, resulting in exposed screws or rivets after connection, which affects the overall aesthetics of the product. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model aims to provide a novel installation structure for louvers and end caps.
[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model can be achieved by the following technical solution: a novel installation structure for a louvered panel and an end cap, comprising a louvered panel strip, a connector, and an end cap. The louvered panel strip includes a first louvered portion, a second louvered portion, and a third louvered portion. The end of the first louvered portion is provided with a connecting groove, and the first louvered portion is snapped together with the connector through the connecting groove. The third louvered portion is provided with at least one irregular hole, and a first fastener is pre-set on the irregular hole. The first fastener is engaged with the end cap to make the end cap and the third louvered portion fit together.
[0006] The louvered slats are irregularly shaped single-layer long iron plates, with the first, second, and third louvered sections integrally bent or drawn.
[0007] The connecting groove is a pot-shaped groove.
[0008] The third leaf section also includes a concave ridge, and irregular holes are set on the concave ridge.
[0009] A louvered cavity is formed between the first, second, and third louvers, and a connector can be fitted into the louvered cavity.
[0010] The connector includes a first connecting part, a second connecting part, and a third connecting part. The first connecting part is provided with a slat mounting hole, and a second fastener is fitted into the slat mounting hole. The second connecting part is provided with an end cap mounting hole, and a third fastener is fitted into the end cap mounting hole.
[0011] The connector is made of aluminum profile or casting, and the first connecting part, the second connecting part and the third connecting part are integrally formed and connected.
[0012] After the second fastener is fixedly connected to the connector, it can be embedded in the connecting groove and snapped together with the louvered slats.
[0013] The end cap includes a connecting part mounting hole and a slot, the connecting part mounting hole and the end cap mounting hole cooperate with each other and are fixedly connected by a third fastener; the slot is engaged with the first fastener.
[0014] The first, second, and third fasteners are self-tapping screws or countersunk screws.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model effectively simplifies the parts and processes for assembling the strip and the end cap, while ensuring the overall aesthetics of one side of the strip. It not only improves the user's comfort but also reduces material costs. The installation steps are simple, the operation is convenient, and it saves time and effort. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a novel installation structure for a louvered plate and an end cap, including a louvered plate strip 100, a connector 200, and an end cap 300. The louvered plate strip 100 is an irregularly shaped single-layer long strip iron plate, including a first louvered portion 110, a second louvered portion 120, and a third louvered portion 130. The first louvered portion 110, the second louvered portion 120, and the third louvered portion 130 are integrally bent or drawn. A connecting groove 111 is provided at the end of the first louvered portion 110. In this embodiment, the connecting groove 111 is a pot-shaped groove.
[0027] In conjunction with the above, the third louver 130 is provided with a concave ridge 131, and at least one irregular hole 132 is provided on the concave ridge 131. A first fastener 133 is pre-installed in the irregular hole 132. In this embodiment, the first fastener 133 is a self-tapping screw, which simplifies the installation structure between the subsequent end cover and the louver strip.
[0028] In conjunction with the above installation structure, a louver cavity 140 is formed between the first louver portion 110, the second louver portion 120 and the third louver portion 130, and the connector 200 can be fitted into the louver cavity 140.
[0029] In summary, the connector 200 is an aluminum profile or casting, including a first connecting part 210, a second connecting part 220, and a third connecting part 230, which are integrally formed and connected. The first connecting part 210 is provided with a strip mounting hole 211, and a second fastener 212 is fitted into the strip mounting hole 211. The second connecting part 220 is provided with an end cap mounting hole 221, and a third fastener 222 is fitted into the end cap mounting hole 221. In this embodiment, the second fastener 212 and the third fastener 222 are countersunk screws.
[0030] In summary, the end cap 300 includes a connecting part mounting hole 310 and a slot 320. The connecting part mounting hole 310 and the end cap mounting hole 221 cooperate with each other and are fixedly connected by a third fastener 222 to achieve a fixed connection between the connector 200 and the end cap 300. The end of the first fastener 133 can be inserted into the slot 320, and then the first fastener 133 is tightened to achieve a hanging connection between the louver slat 100 and the end cap 300. This further reduces the number of fasteners required when assembling the louver panel assembly, further optimizes the installation structure, and improves the aesthetics of the end of the louver slat 100.
[0031] With the above installation structure, after the second fastener 212 is fixedly connected to the connector 200, it can be embedded in the connecting groove 111 and snapped into the first louver part 110 of the louver strip 100. Then, the second fastener 212 is tightened to achieve a fixed connection between the connector 200 and the louver strip 100, which optimizes the installation connection structure and improves the installation efficiency.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model effectively simplifies the parts and processes for assembling the strip and the end cap, while ensuring the overall aesthetics of one side of the strip. It not only improves the user's comfort but also reduces material costs. The installation steps are simple, the operation is convenient, and it saves time and effort.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, or alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical principles of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
