Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support structure technology, specifically a glued laminated timber support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Modern glued laminated timber (GLTL) structures have become an important structural form for green building development due to their advantages such as low carbon footprint, environmental friendliness, and optimal strength-to-weight ratio. GLTL frame structures, in particular, are the most commonly used structural system due to their flexible spatial layout. However, pure GLTL beam-column frame structures have relatively low lateral stiffness and load-bearing capacity. Therefore, adding herringbone bracing or cross bracing between the frames can significantly improve the lateral stiffness and load-bearing capacity of the frame structure. In GLTL beam-braced frame structures, the GLTL bracing effectively serves as the first line of defense against earthquakes, ensuring the safety of the main frame.

[0003] When connecting glued laminated timber supports to a frame structure, ear plates are usually installed on the timber support structure as connectors to ensure structural stability. Traditional methods often use fasteners such as bolts and screws to fix the ear plates to the timber support. This process requires drilling tools to open multiple mounting holes in the timber support. However, frequent drilling will inevitably weaken the cross-sectional integrity of the timber support components, causing the continuity of the wood fibers to be destroyed, which in turn significantly reduces its load-bearing capacity and structural stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support structure for glued laminated timber components to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a glued laminated timber component support structure, including a timber support, with slots provided at the upper and lower ends of both sides of the timber support, two clamping plates symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the timber support, a positioning plate being installed between the two clamping plates on the same side, and a connecting mechanism being installed at the upper and lower ends of the timber support.

[0006] The connecting mechanism includes two covering sleeves, which are respectively fitted onto both sides of the end of the wooden support. A fastening sleeve is fitted on the outer side of both covering sleeves. A locking block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the covering sleeve, and the locking block is engaged in the corresponding locking groove. An ear plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the covering sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, two baffles are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the fastening sleeve, and the upper and lower ends of the positioning plate are engaged between the corresponding two baffles and abut against the corresponding fastening sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning plate has a through groove in the middle, and the positioning plate is fitted onto two corresponding clamping plates through the through groove.

[0009] Preferably, the fastening sleeve is fitted and slidably connected to the outside of the wooden support, and the inner wall of the fastening sleeve is tightly attached to the outer wall of the corresponding two covering sleeves.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves fixation to the frame structure by setting connecting mechanisms at the upper and lower ends of the wooden support. Specifically, it only requires opening a slot on the wooden support. During installation, the two covering sleeves of the connecting mechanism are fitted onto the outside of the wooden support, and then the two covering sleeves are fixed in a ring-like manner by fastening sleeves to complete the installation. This structure does not require the use of traditional fasteners, avoids drilling holes in the wooden support, and effectively maintains the integrity of the component cross section.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a glued laminated timber component support structure, including a timber support 1, with slots 6 on both the upper and lower ends of the timber support 1, and two clamping plates 5 symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the timber support 1, with a positioning plate 3 installed between the two clamping plates 5 on the same side, and a through groove 4 in the middle of the positioning plate 3, the positioning plate 3 being fitted onto the corresponding two clamping plates 5 through the through groove 4, and a connecting mechanism 2 installed at both the upper and lower ends of the timber support 1;

[0017] The connecting mechanism 2 includes two covering sleeves 21, which are respectively fitted on both sides of the end of the wooden support 1. The outer sides of the two covering sleeves 21 are jointly fitted with fastening sleeves 24. The inner walls of the covering sleeves 21 are fixedly connected with locking blocks 22, which are all locked in the corresponding locking slots 6. The outer walls of the covering sleeves 21 are fixedly connected with ear plates 23.

[0018] The fastening sleeve 24 is fitted and slidably connected to the outside of the wooden support 1. The inner wall of the fastening sleeve 24 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the corresponding two covering sleeves 21. Two baffles 25 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the fastening sleeve 24. The upper and lower ends of the positioning plate 3 are both engaged between the corresponding two baffles 25 and abut against the corresponding fastening sleeve 24.

[0019] During assembly, fastening sleeves 24 are respectively placed on the outside of wooden support 1, and two covering sleeves 21 are wrapped around the ends of wooden support 1. The locking blocks 22 on the covering sleeves 21 are engaged in the locking grooves 6 to ensure that the two covering sleeves 21 cannot slide on the wooden support 1. Then, the fastening sleeves 24 are slid to place the fastening sleeves 24 on the outside of the two covering sleeves 21 so that the two covering sleeves 21 cannot come apart. The positioning plate 3 is pressed against the side wall of the wooden support 1, and the upper and lower ends of the positioning plate 3 are pressed against the fastening sleeves 24 and locked between the two baffles 25 to ensure that the fastening sleeves 24 cannot easily detach from the corresponding two covering sleeves 21. The two locking plates 5 are then passed through the through grooves 4 on the positioning plate 3. During this process, the two locking plates 5 will move towards each other due to compression. When the ends of the two locking plates 5 extend out of the through grooves 4, the locking plates 5 will spring back and lock at the opening of the through grooves 4, fixing the positioning plate 3 on the wooden support 1. Then, the entire device is installed on the frame structure.

[0020] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
