Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of building engineering technology, and in particular to a seam connection tool for thin steel plates. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of prefabricated modular houses, the connection quality of the roof panels plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the building. The thickness of the roof panels is generally between 0.4mm and 0.7mm, and lap joints are commonly used for connection.

[0003] Traditional interlocking tools are mostly one-piece, non-adjustable structures, unable to adapt to steel plates of varying thicknesses, resulting in difficulty controlling the interlocking force. Excessive interlocking force can easily damage the protective film and scratch the paint film, affecting not only the appearance quality of the roof panels but also potentially reducing their corrosion resistance and shortening the service life of the container house. For thicker steel plates, the interlocking force of the fixing tools is often insufficient, leading to uneven interlocking, with excessive, insufficient, or even missed interlocks, severely affecting the quality of the joint. This exposes the container house to risks such as water leakage and structural instability during use, thereby increasing subsequent maintenance costs.

[0004] Meanwhile, in actual construction, it is difficult for construction workers of different heights to find the most comfortable force-applying posture when using current biting tools. Taller construction workers using tools with fixed-length levers may need to bend over excessively or stretch their bodies, which can easily lead to fatigue and affect work efficiency over time. On the other hand, shorter construction workers may not be able to apply force effectively due to the excessive length of the lever, resulting in insufficient biting force. This leads to low construction efficiency and makes it difficult to meet the requirements of high efficiency and high quality in modern construction. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address or partially address the problems existing in the related technologies, this application provides a seam connection tool for thin steel plates, which adopts a telescopic and detachable structure to accommodate construction workers of different heights.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a seam connection tool for thin steel plates, comprising: a fixed seam, a movable seam, a rotating shaft, a force transmission rod, a locking device, a handle, a U-shaped plate, and a telescopic rod. The open end of the U-shaped plate is equipped with a handle, and the closed end is connected to the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod is inserted into the force transmission rod and locked based on the locking device. The ends of the force transmission rod are respectively equipped with a fixed seam and a movable seam, and the fixed seam and the movable seam are connected based on the rotating shaft to form a seam structure.

[0007] The fixed bite and the movable bite are both L-shaped structures.

[0008] The force transmission rod is fixedly connected to the fixed jaw at a 45° angle, and the force transmission rod is fixedly connected to the hinge side of the movable jaw at a 45° angle.

[0009] The fixed jaw and the movable jaw are provided with a pivot hole. The pivot is a T-shaped structure with a thread at the bottom. The pivot passes through the pivot hole and is connected to the pivot nut based on the thread structure.

[0010] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This application provides a seam connection tool for thin steel plates. The tool's pull rod features a telescopic and detachable structure, adaptable to workers of different heights, thus improving work efficiency. For steel plates of varying thicknesses, workers can extend or shorten the pull rod to increase or decrease the lever arm, precisely controlling the seam force and effectively preventing excessively large or small seams, as well as missed seams. This significantly improves the quality of the seam connection, ensuring the performance and lifespan of the container house and reducing subsequent maintenance costs.

[0021] Embodiments of this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.

[0022] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application 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 application.

[0024] Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] As shown in the figure, a seam connection tool for thin steel plates includes: a fixed seam 1, a movable seam 2, a rotating shaft 3, a rotating shaft nut 4, a force transmission rod 5, a locking device 6, a handle 7, a U-shaped plate 8-U, and a telescopic rod 9. The handle 7 is welded integrally with the U-shaped plate 8-U and the telescopic rod 9. The handle 7 is installed at the open end of the U-shaped plate 8-U, and the telescopic rod 9 is connected to the closed end. The telescopic rod 9 is inserted into the force transmission rod 5, and after length adjustment, it is locked by the locking device 6, forming a detachable and adjustable length tension rod.

[0027] Specifically, the locking device 6 consists of a locking bolt and a locking nut. Multiple evenly distributed threaded holes are formed along the axial direction on the force transmission rod 5. One end of the telescopic rod 9, into which it is inserted, has a through hole corresponding to one of the threaded holes. After the telescopic rod 9 is adjusted to the appropriate length, the locking bolt is passed through the through hole of the telescopic rod 9 and the corresponding threaded hole on the force transmission rod 5, and then the locking nut is tightened. Through the tightening action of the bolt and nut, the telescopic rod 9 and the force transmission rod 5 are tightly connected, preventing the telescopic rod 9 from slipping during use, thereby locking the length of the tension rod.

[0028] The interlocking tool is equipped with two tension rods, with a fixed interlocking jaw 1 and a movable interlocking jaw 2 installed at their ends respectively. The force transmission rod 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed interlocking jaw 1 at a 45° angle, and the force transmission rod 5 is fixedly connected to the hinge side of the movable interlocking jaw 2 at a 45° angle.

[0029] The fixed jaw 1 and the movable jaw 2 have an "L-shaped" structure, connected by a rotating shaft 3 to form the jaw structure. A hole for the rotating shaft 3 is provided at the connecting end of the fixed jaw 1 and the movable jaw 2. The rotating shaft 3 has a T-shaped structure with a threaded bottom end, passing through the hole and engaging with the rotating shaft nut 4 based on the threaded structure. When the jaws are fully open, the two force transmission rods 5 are parallel. During operation, the two force transmission rods 5 open at a 50° angle to engage at a 90° angle.

[0030] When using the tool, adjust and lock the tension rod length, place the interlocking tool on the box-type roof panel, and manually tension the interlocking tool to complete the interlocking connection of roof panel I10 and roof panel II11. The interlocking connection should be carried out in sequence without missing or skipping any parts, ensuring uniform interlocking, smooth interlocking surfaces, and good interlocking surfaces. This will improve construction efficiency and ensure construction quality.
