[0009] In some embodiments, the top of the lower rod and the bottom of the upper rod are connected by a connecting plate, the connecting plate being connected to the top of the lower rod by a grooved rivet, and the connecting plate being connected to the bottom of the upper rod by another grooved rivet.
[0010] In some embodiments, the top of the lower rod is provided with a U-shaped slot, and the bottom of the upper rod is inserted into the U-shaped slot, thereby connecting the upper rod and the U-shaped slot by annular groove rivets or welding.

[0037] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0038] This utility model provides an improved aluminum alloy double-layer rod connection structure. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0039] Example 1:
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the aluminum alloy double-layer rod connection structure of this utility model includes an upper rod 1 and a lower rod 2, wherein the lower rod 2 is located below the upper rod 1, or, in embodiment one, the upper rod 1 is placed on the lower rod 2. The upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2 are connected by a ring groove rivet 3. Both the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2 are aluminum alloy rods, and the aluminum alloy rods are integrally extruded aluminum alloy.
[0041] Furthermore, the cross-section of the upper member 1 is π-shaped, and the cross-section of the lower member 2 is I-shaped.
[0042] Furthermore, the top of the lower rod 2 is provided with a flange lug corresponding to the bottom of the upper rod 1, and the flange lug is connected to the bottom of the upper rod 1 by a ring groove rivet 3.
[0043] Furthermore, corresponding buckles 4 are provided on the upper rod member 1 and the lower rod member 2. The buckle 4 provided on the lower rod member 2 is provided at the edge of the top flange of the lower rod member 2, and the buckle 4 provided on the upper rod member 1 is provided at the edge of the top flange of the upper rod member 1. The buckle 4 is provided on the lower surface of the top flange of the upper rod member 1. A decorative plate can be installed at the corresponding buckle 4 on the corresponding side, and the side portion of the upper rod member 1 can be covered by the decorative plate to meet the architectural aesthetics. Preferably, the buckle 4 is in an "L" shape; through the "L" shape setting, the installation of the decorative plate is facilitated.
[0044] Furthermore, the ring groove rivet 3 is a countersunk head ring groove rivet or a single-sided ring groove rivet, and a single-sided ring groove rivet is used in the closed cross-section. The ring groove rivet 3 can be made of stainless steel or other materials. The number of the ring groove rivets 3 can be determined according to the equal strength principle.
[0045] Embodiment 2, as Figure 2 shown, the top of the lower rod member 2 and the bottom of the upper rod member 1 are connected by a connecting plate 5. The connecting plate 5 and the top of the lower rod member 2 are connected by a ring groove rivet 3, and the connecting plate 5 and the bottom of the upper rod member 1 are connected by another ring groove rivet 3.
[0046] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the upper rod member 2 and the lower rod member 1 are both T-shaped.
[0047] Still further, the connecting plate 5 is provided on both sides of the upper rod member 2 and the lower rod member 1. The connecting plate 5 is an aluminum alloy plate or a stainless steel plate.
[0048] Embodiment 3, as Figure 3 shown, the top of the lower rod member 2 is provided with a U-shaped slot 6, and the bottom of the upper rod member 1 is inserted into the U-shaped slot 6. Furthermore, the upper rod member 1 and the U-shaped slot 6 are connected by a ring groove rivet 3.
[0049] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the upper rod member 2 and the lower rod member 1 are both T-shaped.
[0050] Embodiment 4, as Figure 4 shown, the cross-section of the upper rod member 1 is in a dry shape, and the cross-section of the lower rod member 2 is T-shaped. The top of the lower rod member 2 and the bottom of the upper rod member 1 are connected by two connecting plates 5. The connecting plate 5 and the top of the lower rod member 2 are connected by a ring groove rivet 3, and the connecting plate 5 and the bottom of the upper rod member 1 are connected by another ring groove rivet 3.
[0051] Embodiment 5, as Figure 5 shown, the top of the lower rod member 2 is provided with a U-shaped slot 6, and the bottom of the upper rod member 1 is inserted into the U-shaped slot 6. Furthermore, the upper rod member 1 and the U-shaped slot 6 are connected by welding.
[0052] Furthermore, during welding, the thickness of the U-shaped slot 6 is greater than the thickness of the lower member 2, and the thickness of the portion of the upper member 1 inserted into the U-shaped slot 6 is greater than the thickness of the remaining portion of the upper member 1. Specifically, during welding, local thickening is required to account for the reduction in strength and stiffness of the aluminum alloy member caused by welding. Thickening can improve the structural strength of the aluminum alloy member; the specific thickening value and location can be determined according to the design.
[0053] Furthermore, the cross-sections of both the upper member 2 and the lower member 1 are T-shaped.
[0054] Example 6, as Figure 6 As shown, the top of the lower member 2 and the bottom of the upper member 1 are connected by a connecting plate 5. This connecting plate is welded to the corresponding portions of the upper member 1 and the lower member 2. The thickness of the portion of the lower member 2 corresponding to the connecting plate 5 is greater than the thickness of the rest of the lower member 2, and the thickness of the portion of the upper member 1 corresponding to the connecting plate 5 is greater than the thickness of the rest of the upper member 1. Specifically, during welding, local thickening is required to account for the reduction in strength and stiffness of the aluminum alloy member caused by welding. Thickening can improve the structural strength of the aluminum alloy member. The specific thickening value and the thickening location can be determined according to the design.
[0055] The cross-sectional shape of the first and second rods of this utility model is not limited to T-shaped, π-shaped, I-shaped or ☐-shaped, but can also be other shapes.
[0056] When setting up the connecting plate, it can be set on one side or both sides.
[0057] This utility model proposes an aluminum alloy double-layer rod connection structure, transforming single-layer components into double-layer components. This overcomes the height limitations imposed by extrusion equipment, effectively solving problems such as insufficient strength and stiffness in aluminum structural components, while also ensuring the overall synergistic effect of the components. This connection structure offers advantages such as simple construction, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, good permeability, corrosion resistance, aesthetic appeal, and maintenance-free operation. It meets the requirements of green materials, green construction, and green building.
[0058] Example 7:
[0059] like Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown in Embodiment 7, the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2 are respectively provided with a connecting post 10 and a fixing post 11, which are arranged opposite to each other. An inner tube 7 is connected to the connecting post 10, and an outer tube 8 adapted to the inner tube 7 is connected to the fixing post 11. When the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2 are connected, a portion of the inner tube 7 extends into the outer tube 8, and the length of the portion of the inner tube 7 extending into the outer tube 8 is adjustable so that the length of the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8 after connection can be adapted to the distance between the corresponding flanges of the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2. After the inner tube 7 is adjusted to the correct position, the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8 can be connected in a limited manner.
[0060] Furthermore, combined Figure 8 As shown, multiple connecting columns 10 and fixing columns 11 are provided, which are spaced along the flange plates of the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2. The connecting columns 10 and fixing columns 11 are also provided on both sides of the flange plates of the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2. The connection strength between the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2 is improved by the spaced inner tube 7 and outer tube 8.
[0061] Furthermore, the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8 can be fitted onto the corresponding connecting post 10 and fixing post 11. The inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8 can also be connected to the corresponding connecting post 10 and fixing post 11 by bolts or welding.
[0062] Furthermore, corresponding parts of the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8 are provided with connecting holes. After adjusting the length of the inner tube 7 inserted into the outer tube 8, connecting bolts can be inserted into the corresponding connecting holes to achieve the limiting connection between the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8, thus restricting the position adjustment function of the inner tube 7.
[0063] In another preferred embodiment, multiple limiting holes 9 can be formed on the outer tube 8, and a movable groove can be formed near the end of the inner tube 7. A sliding block 12 and a limiting post 13 are slidably connected in the movable groove. A telescopic spring 14 is connected between the limiting post 13 and the sliding block 12. The telescopic spring 14 can push the sliding block 12 and the limiting post 13 out of the corresponding movable groove. By pressing the sliding block 12 and the limiting post 13, the telescopic spring 14 can be compressed, allowing the sliding block 12 and the limiting post 13 to retract into the inner tube 7. Thus, when the inner tube 7 is inserted into the outer tube 8, the sliding block 12 and the limiting post 13 can be pushed inward. When the end of the inner tube 7 moves downward to the position of the corresponding limiting hole 9 on the outer tube 8, the telescopic spring 14 can cause the sliding block 12 and the limiting post 13 to extend out of the corresponding limiting hole 9, thereby limiting the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8. If further adjustment of the position of the inner tube 7 is needed, the sliding block 12 and the limiting post 13 can be pushed inward to retract them, and then the position of the inner tube 7 can be adjusted.
[0064] The specific working method is as follows: During use, the connecting plates 5 on both sides of the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2 are fixed by welding. Then, the inner tube 7 is inserted into the outer tube 8, and the overall length of the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8 is less than the distance between the corresponding flange plates of the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2. Then, the outer tube 8 is clamped onto the fixing post 11, and the outer tube 8 is connected to the fixing post 11 by bolts or welding. Then, the inner tube 7 is moved upward to adjust it, and the inner tube 7 is clamped onto the connecting post 10. When moving and adjusting the inner tube 7, the limit between the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8 can be contacted first. After adjusting the position of the inner tube 7, the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 8 are limited (this can be done with bolts, or with a mechanism consisting of a pressable sliding block, a limit post, and a telescopic spring). Then, the inner tube 7 is connected to the connecting post 10. This realizes the use of the outer tube 8 and the inner tube 7 to support the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2, improves the strength of the upper rod 1 and the lower rod 2 after fixation, and improves the efficiency of use.
