Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building materials technology, and in particular to a flame-retardant board with an installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Flame-retardant boards are made by adding flame retardants and modifying fibers, or by applying a surface coating process, to give the boards flame-retardant and fire-resistant properties. The core principle of flame-retardant boards is to use the flame-retardant components of the material itself to inhibit the spread of flames and reduce the burning rate, thereby reducing the toxicity caused by fire. This buys people time to escape and reduces the spread of fire in the event of a fire. At the same time, flame-retardant boards also have the physical properties of ordinary boards that can be drilled and cut, and are widely used in building construction.

[0003] However, due to the shape and structure of flame-retardant boards, their installation relies heavily on specialized adhesive preparation and the precise drilling skills of installers. This results in poor stability and low sealing performance. Furthermore, due to varying requirements in different scenarios, complex measurements or on-site cutting are necessary before installation, leading to low construction efficiency. Existing solutions involve using flame-retardant boards with built-in tenon and mortise joints, allowing for direct installation via splicing and interlocking. While modular installation structures optimize and address the installation difficulties, enhancing stability and sealing, they can lead to issues like loosening and detachment or cracking due to excessive tightness. Additionally, tenons may break under load or vibration, and natural gaps at the tenon and mortise joints allow smoke or flames to spread during a fire. Utility Model Content

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.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 An embodiment of this utility model provides a flame-retardant panel with an installation structure, including a wall panel 1 and two fireproof panels 2. The outer walls of the two fireproof panels 2 are provided with a connecting mechanism 3, which is used to connect the two fireproof panels 2.

[0035] The connecting mechanism 3 includes multiple tenons 301, the outer walls of which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the two fireproof plates 2. Multiple mortises 302 are provided on the left and right sides of the two fireproof plates 2. The outer walls of the multiple tenons 301 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple mortises 302. Cylindrical holes 303 are provided on the outer walls of the multiple tenons 301. A single graphite strip 304 is slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple cylindrical holes 303 on the right side. The cylindrical holes 303 are used to support the graphite strip 304 and reinforce the connection. A single groove 305 is provided on the outer walls of the multiple tenons 301. A silicone elastic pad 306 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 305. The silicone elastic pad 306 expands when heated and fills the gap in the tenon and mortise connection of the fireproof board 2. The groove 305 is used to support the silicone elastic pad 306. Multiple trapezoidal grooves 307 are opened on the outer walls of both fireproof boards 2. Trapezoidal wedges 308 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple trapezoidal grooves 307 to reinforce the connection. The trapezoidal grooves 307 are used to slide with the trapezoidal wedges 308. Reinforcing components 309 are provided on the rear side of both fireproof boards 2. The reinforcing components 309 are used to reinforce the connection of the fireproof boards 2.

[0036] The reinforcing component 309 includes multiple elastic buckles 3091. The outer walls of the multiple elastic buckles 3091 are slidably connected to the rear side of multiple tenons 301. Each of the multiple tenons 301 has a buckle groove 3092 on its rear side. The elastic buckles 3091 are used to engage with the buckle groove 3092 to reinforce the connection.

[0037] Specifically, the worker places two fireproof boards 2 flat on the ground, and installs silicone elastic pads 306 in the grooves 305 of both fireproof boards 2, ensuring they fit perfectly into the grooves 305. The left tenon 301 of the right fireproof board 2 is aligned with the right mortise 302 of the left fireproof board 2, and a sliding connection is made according to the tenon and mortise structure. A graphite strip 304 is passed through the through hole 303 at the tenon and mortise connection, ensuring it is fully engaged with the hole 303. Two trapezoidal wedges 308 are correctly installed in the trapezoidal groove 307 at the tenon and mortise connection. Then, the two fireproof boards 2 are vertically flipped, and multiple elastic clips 3091 are pressed into the clip grooves 3092 at the tenon and mortise connection until they are fully engaged with the surface of the fireproof board 2, completing the basic connection of the two fireproof boards 2. This increases the stability of the connection structure and makes the fireproof boards 2 easier to install.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The fixing mechanism 4 includes multiple magnetic strips 401. The front sides of the multiple magnetic strips 401 are fixedly connected to the rear sides of the two fireproof boards 2. Multiple magnetic strips 402 are fixedly connected to the front side of the wall panel 1. The magnetic strips 401 and 402 interact to generate attraction, making the fireproof board 2 stick tightly to the wall panel 1. Multiple through holes 403 are opened on the outer walls of the two fireproof boards 2. Two strip grooves 404 are opened on the rear side of the two fireproof boards 2. Wedges 405 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple through holes 403. The wedges 405 are used to slidably connect with the through holes 403 to fix the support strips 406. Multiple support strips 406 are fixedly connected to the front side of the wall panel 1. The support strips 406 and the strip grooves 404 are combined to fix the fireproof board 2 to the wall panel 1. Buffer components 407 are provided on the rear side of the two fireproof boards 2. Buffer components 407 are used to provide shock absorption and sound insulation for the fireproof board 2.

[0039] The buffer assembly 407 includes two buffer damping pads 4071. The front sides of the two buffer damping pads 4071 are fixedly connected to the rear sides of the two fireproof boards 2. The buffer damping pads 4071 are used to reduce the impact of vibration. The rear sides of the two buffer damping pads 4071 are fixedly connected to sound insulation boards 4072. The sound insulation boards 4072 are used to reduce noise passing through the fireproof boards 2.

[0040] Specifically, multiple magnetic strips 402 and multiple support strips 406 are installed and fixed on the wall panel 1. The two grooves 404 of the fireproof board 2 are aligned with the corresponding support strips 406, and the two magnetic strips 401 of the fireproof board 2 are aligned with the corresponding magnetic strips 402. The grooves 404 are then installed onto the support strips 406 to ensure the fireproof board 2 is fully fitted into the wall panel 1. The distance between the fireproof board 2 and the wall panel 1 is then finely adjusted. The multiple cylindrical holes 403 on the fireproof board 2 are respectively aligned with the support strips 406. Align the multiple wedges 405 into the cylindrical hole 403, through the support strip 406, and fully fit into the through hole 403. Fix the strip groove 404 to the support strip 406. When the wall panel 1 vibrates, the buffer and shock-absorbing pad 4071 reduces the vibration force at the connection between the wall panel 1 and the fireproof board 2. The sound insulation board 4072 can reduce the noise passing through the wall panel 1 and the fireproof board 2. The connection structure between the wall panel 1 and the fireproof board 2 is stable, which improves environmental adaptability and enhances the sound insulation and shock absorption effect.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The flame-retardant mechanism 6 includes two poplar flame-retardant boards 601. The outer walls of the two poplar flame-retardant boards 601 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two mounting slots 5. The poplar flame-retardant boards 601 are the main flame-retardant parts, which play a role in heat insulation and fire prevention. Fiberglass boards 602 are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner walls of the two mounting slots 5. Fiberglass boards 602 are the secondary flame-retardant parts, which assist in flame retardancy. Aluminum foil moisture-proof boards 603 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two mounting slots 5. Aluminum foil moisture-proof boards 603 are used for environmental isolation and moisture prevention.

[0042] The sealing mechanism 7 includes multiple metal strips 701. The outer walls of the multiple metal strips 701 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two fireproof plates 2. The outer walls of the two fireproof plates 2 are provided with two strip-shaped slots 702. The metal strips 701 are slidably connected to the strip-shaped slots 702 to strengthen the connection between the two fireproof plates 2. The outer walls of the two fireproof plates 2 are provided with multiple threaded holes 8. The outer walls of the two fireproof plates 2 are threaded with multiple bolts 9. The outer walls of the multiple bolts 9 penetrate the metal strips 701 and are threadedly connected to the multiple threaded holes 8.

[0043] Specifically, a flame-retardant mechanism 6 is installed in the mounting slot 5. The poplar flame-retardant board 601 plays the main fire-retardant role, the fiberglass board 602 plays an auxiliary fire-retardant role, and the aluminum foil moisture-proof board 603 is used for moisture-proof operation when the fireproof board 2 is in a humid environment, keeping the fireproof board 2 dry and ensuring the normal function of the poplar flame-retardant board 601 and the fiberglass board 602. After the basic connection of the two fireproof boards 2 is completed, two metal strips 701 are inserted into the strip-shaped slots 702 on the upper and lower sides of the fireproof board 2, so that the metal strips 701 and the strip-shaped slots 702 are completely fitted. Then, the bolts 9 are threaded into the threaded holes 8, passing through the metal strips 701 and fixing them in the strip-shaped slots 702, so that the metal strips 701 and the fireproof board 2 are tightly connected, further strengthening the connection between the fireproof boards 2 and improving stability and risk resistance.

[0044] Working principle: A silicone elastic pad 306 is installed in the groove 305 of the tenon and mortise joint of the fireproof board 2. The silicone elastic pad 306 expands when heated, filling the gaps created by the tenon and mortise structure, effectively blocking temperature and harmful gases. The tenon 301 of the fireproof board 2 is aligned with the mortise 302 of the fireproof board 2, and the connection is completed according to the tenon and mortise structure. The graphite strip 304 is passed through the cylindrical hole 303 at the tenon and mortise joint, so that the graphite strip 304 and the cylindrical hole 303 are completely fitted to complete the further connection. Two trapezoidal wedges 308 are installed in the trapezoidal groove 307 at the tenon and mortise joint. Multiple elastic buckles 3091 are pressed into the buckle groove 3092 at the tenon and mortise joint until they are completely fitted with the surface of the fireproof board 2, completing the basic connection. This enhances the stability of the tenon and mortise joint structure, improves the risk resistance, and enhances the environmental adaptability.

[0045] Furthermore, the two magnetic strips 401 of the fireproof board 2 are aligned with the magnetic strip 402, and the strip groove 404 of the fireproof board 2 is fitted with the support strip 406 to complete the basic connection. Multiple wedges 405 are inserted into the through holes 403, penetrating the support strip 406 to complete the fitted and reinforced connection, increasing the seismic resistance of the fireproof board 2. The buffer and shock-absorbing pad 4071 reduces the vibration force at the connection between the wall panel 1 and the fireproof board 2 when the wall panel 1 vibrates, further improving the seismic resistance. The sound insulation board 4072 can reduce the noise passing through the wall panel 1 and the fireproof board 2, reducing the impact of noise. The poplar fire-retardant board 601 contains physical fire-retardant materials and plays the main fire-retardant role. The fiberglass board 602 plays an auxiliary fire-retardant role. The aluminum foil moisture-proof board 603 can isolate and prevent moisture when the fireproof board 2 is in a humid environment, keeping the fireproof board 2 dry and ensuring the normal function of the poplar fire-retardant board 601 and the fiberglass board 602. The metal strip 701 fits into the strip groove 702, and the bolt 9 is threaded into the threaded hole 8, so that the metal strip 701 is tightly connected to the fireproof board 2, further improving the structural stability and risk resistance of the fireproof board 2.
