Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building industrialization technology, and in particular relates to a box-type light steel composite wall panel. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional cast-in-place concrete walls have long construction cycles, high energy consumption, and are difficult to integrate with insulation systems. Adding insulation later reduces floor height and increases construction complexity. While existing lightweight steel walls can reduce structural weight, they still have the following problems:

[0003] 1. Insufficient thermal and sound insulation performance: Traditional light steel walls are prone to forming thermal and acoustic bridges, affecting building energy efficiency and comfort.

[0004] 2. Difficulty in thermal insulation integration: Existing precast walls usually require on-site installation of thermal insulation, which is inefficient and difficult to control in terms of quality.

[0005] 3. Poor adaptability to intelligent manufacturing: Traditional wall structures are complex and difficult to automate, which restricts the efficiency of industrialized construction.

[0006] Chinese patent No. 2018218186600 discloses a wall structure for prefabricated light steel structures. This utility model's main structure is a light steel keel wall structure, integrating insulation and decorative panels, and allowing for the installation of water and electricity pipes. However, this technology uses a large number of screws and square tubular plates for fixing the light steel keel installation, resulting in a cumbersome connection process and difficulty in automating manufacturing. The frame uses a prefabricated cold-formed profile, which forms the frame by setting 45° reverse chamfers at both ends and pre-drilled holes to assemble the panel corners. Due to the unique sheet metal characteristics of thin-walled cold-formed profiles, a process requiring orthogonal cutting of flat plates before forming, and considering stress rebound characteristics, it is difficult to achieve a tight, gapless 45° chamfer assembly. Furthermore, existing prefabricated wall full-fill insulation methods present problems such as difficulties in pipeline pre-embedding and complex on-site construction. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular, intelligently manufactured box-type light steel composite wall panel that integrates structure and insulation prefabrication to meet the needs of building industrialization.

[0008] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] The box-type light steel composite wall panel of this utility model is characterized by comprising a light steel frame, a set of Z-shaped keels disposed in the internal cavity of the light steel frame, two integrated decorative cover plates covering the outside of the light steel frame, and thermal insulation and sound insulation boards disposed on the upper and lower layers of the internal cavity of the light steel frame.

[0010] The light steel frame includes two parallel main frames and two parallel secondary frames, which are connected by connectors to form a rectangle.

[0011] The aforementioned thermal insulation and soundproofing board includes a flanged inner lining board and an insulation board wrapped around the outside of this flanged inner lining board.

[0012] The main frame or secondary frame is respectively composed of U-shaped thin plate cold-formed profiles. This U-shaped thin plate cold-formed profile includes a U-shaped main body formed by cold bending four flanges and three web sections. The four flanges include two middle flanges and two outer flanges. The three web sections include a middle web section and two outer web sections located below the two sides of the middle web section.

[0013] The two side edges of the intermediate web are respectively connected to one side edge of the two intermediate flanges, and the other side edge of each intermediate flange is connected to a side edge of an outer web. One side edge of each outer web is connected to an intermediate flange, and the other side edge is connected to an outer flange through a right-angle bend.

[0014] The intermediate flange and the outer flange are both located above the outer web.

[0015] The U-shaped thin sheet cold-formed profile of the main frame has a perforated flange at the connection of both ends of the middle web and above the middle web.

[0016] The two outer flanges of the U-shaped thin sheet cold-formed profile are provided with inward 180-degree hooks.

[0017] The hollow cavity keel is fixed to the two middle flanges on both sides of the concave thin plate cold-formed profile, which are folded inward at 90 degrees.

[0018] The integrated decorative cover is fixed to the two outer flanges of the frame to form a closed box.

[0019] The insulation board includes rock wool, phenolic board, aerogel, or polyurethane foam.

[0025] The hanging connection of the channel-shaped parts and the hanging connection of the Great Wall steel decking achieve convenient connection, cost savings, and improved assembly efficiency.

[0026] The hanging holes of the channel-shaped parts and the diamond-shaped hangers are formed by co-punching. When the box-type panels are combined with each other, the box-type panels are connected to each other by the diamond-shaped hangers, and the box-type panels are combined to achieve integral force transmission in the direction perpendicular to the concave main frame by the channel-shaped parts, realizing the integral force of multiple box-type floors or box-type roofs or box-type walls after installation.
