Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an aluminum single panel, and more particularly to a hook-type aluminum single panel, belonging to the field of building decoration technology. Background Technology
[0002] Hook-and-mount aluminum panels are a commonly used panel connection structure in the field of architectural decoration. With the advantages of not requiring bolts to penetrate the panel and having no nail holes on the surface, they are widely used in interior walls, commercial space ceilings, and low-rise building curtain walls. Their traditional structure usually includes an aluminum panel body, hook grooves on the outside of the aluminum panel body, and a keel hanging rod that works with the hook grooves to achieve suspension. During installation, the hook grooves are engaged with the surface of the hanging rod to complete the fixation. The operation process is simpler than that of bolt fixing, so it is frequently used in small and medium-sized decoration projects.
[0003] However, existing hook-and-loop aluminum panels still have shortcomings in practical applications:
[0004] Traditional hooks often use a thin structure made by directly bending the aluminum panel itself. The area where the hook is under concentrated stress is prone to plastic deformation, which cannot meet the needs of medium and high load scenarios. In addition, due to the limitation of processing precision control, the inner width of the hook of traditional hook-type aluminum panels needs to be slightly larger than the diameter of the hanging rod to avoid jamming during installation. However, under the action of external wind load, this gap will cause relative sway between the aluminum panel and the hanging rod, which will not only generate noise but also cause wear and tear, affecting the stability of the connection. In addition, during the installation process, the position of the hook groove needs to be observed by visual inspection to ensure accurate positioning, which is inconvenient for installation.
[0005] To address this issue, a hook-type aluminum panel was designed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a hook-type aluminum panel to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:
[0008] A hook-type aluminum panel includes an aluminum panel body, a corner plate fixed at the inner corner of the aluminum panel body, a crossbar fixed between the two sides of the aluminum panel body, and first hook grooves symmetrically opened on the side of the aluminum panel body. Reinforcing ribs are fixed on the inner surface of the aluminum panel body corresponding to the stress area of the hook groove.
[0009] The reinforcing rib has a second hook groove that mates with the first hook groove. Metal springs are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the second hook groove. One end of the metal spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second hook groove near the opening of the second hook groove, and the other end of the metal spring extends into the interior of the second hook groove.
[0010] Preferably, grooves are evenly provided on the outer side of the aluminum panel body at the position corresponding to the first hook groove, and the depth of the grooves is 0.5-2mm.
[0011] Preferably, the reinforcing ribs are arranged along the length of the aluminum panel body, and the reinforcing ribs are fixed to the side of the aluminum panel body by rivets.
[0012] Preferably, a plate is horizontally provided at the bottom of the reinforcing rib, the plate and the reinforcing rib are integrally formed, and the bottom of the plate is attached to the inner surface of the aluminum single panel body.
[0013] Preferred: The metal spring is made of spring steel and is welded to the reinforcing ribs, and the shape of the metal spring is corrugated.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. By adding reinforcing ribs, this utility model can strengthen the structure of the hook's stress area. The reinforcing ribs can effectively disperse load stress, avoid deformation caused by stress concentration, and significantly improve the structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the hook and the entire aluminum panel. In addition, metal springs are symmetrically arranged inside the second hook groove on the reinforcing rib. The elastic deformation of the metal springs can clamp the hanging rod and fill the gap between the hook and the hanging rod, which can effectively reduce the relative shaking under external force, avoid direct friction wear between the panel and the hanging rod, and improve the stability and durability of the aluminum panel body.
[0016] 2. This utility model provides a groove on the outer side of the aluminum panel body corresponding to the first hook groove. The groove can serve as an intuitive positioning mark. During installation and use, the user can quickly locate the position of the first hook groove by touching the groove with their hand, making installation faster and more practical.

[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a hook-type aluminum panel, including an aluminum panel body 1, a corner plate 102 fixed at the inner corner of the aluminum panel body 1, a crossbar 103 fixed between the two sides of the aluminum panel body 1, and a first hook groove 101 symmetrically opened on the side of the aluminum panel body 1. A reinforcing rib 2 is fixed on the inner surface of the aluminum panel body 1 corresponding to the stress area of the hook groove.
[0029] The aluminum panel body 1 serves as a decorative and basic load-bearing component. The corner plate 102 at its inner corner and the crossbar 103 between the two sides cooperate with each other to provide basic structural support for the aluminum panel body 1 and reduce the deformation that may occur due to the large area of the aluminum panel body 1.
[0030] The reinforcing rib 2 has a second hook groove 3 that mates with the first hook groove 101. Metal springs 4 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the second hook groove 3. One end of the metal spring 4 near the opening of the second hook groove 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second hook groove 3, and the other end of the metal spring 4 extends into the interior of the second hook groove 3.
[0031] When aluminum panels are installed using hooks, the external keel hanging rod needs to engage with the first hook groove 101 on the side of the aluminum panel body 1. The reinforcing rib 2, which is fixed to the hook stress area on the inner surface of the aluminum panel body 1, directly bears the load transferred from the hanging rod to the first hook groove 101. Since the reinforcing rib 2 covers the stress concentration area of the hook groove, it can quickly disperse the stress originally concentrated in a local area of the aluminum panel body 1 to a larger area of the aluminum panel body 1, avoiding plastic deformation of the aluminum panel body 1 due to stress concentration. This significantly improves the load-bearing capacity of the entire aluminum panel, making it suitable for use scenarios with larger loads. At the same time, the second hook groove 3 opened on the reinforcing rib 2 corresponds to the first hook groove 101, and the hanging rod will also enter the second hook groove 3 when it is engaged in the first hook groove 101. The metal spring pieces 4 are symmetrically arranged inside the second hook groove 3. One end of the spring piece 4 near the opening of the second hook groove 3 is fixed to the groove wall, and the other end extends into the groove. When the hanging rod enters the second hook groove 3, it will squeeze the metal spring pieces 4 on both sides to cause elastic deformation. After deformation, the metal spring pieces 4 will generate a reverse clamping force on the surface of the hanging rod, thereby preventing the aluminum panel body 1 from swaying relative to the hanging rod under the action of external forces such as external wind load. This reduces the noise generated by swaying and avoids direct friction loss between the hanging rod and the hook groove, effectively improving the stability and durability of the aluminum panel hook connection.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] The solution in Example 1 will be further described below with reference to its specific working method.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a groove 6 is evenly provided on the outer side of the aluminum panel body 1 at the position corresponding to the first hook groove 101, and the depth of the groove 6 is 0.5-2mm.
[0035] When installing aluminum panels, it may be difficult for construction workers to quickly and accurately locate the first hook groove 101 with the naked eye, especially in scenarios with limited visibility such as suspended ceilings. However, the groove 6, through the tactile difference formed on the outside of the aluminum panel body 1, allows construction workers to quickly identify the location of the groove 6 by touch, and then accurately match it to the first hook groove 101 on the inside, which greatly shortens the position calibration time during installation and improves installation efficiency.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the reinforcing rib 2 is further provided along the length direction of the aluminum panel body 1, and the reinforcing rib 2 is fixed to the side of the aluminum panel body 1 by rivets. The rivet fixing strength is higher, which further ensures the strengthening effect of the reinforcing rib 2 on the hook stress area.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a plate 5 is horizontally provided at the bottom end of the reinforcing rib 2. The plate 5 and the reinforcing rib 2 are integrally formed, and the bottom of the plate 5 is attached to the inner surface of the aluminum single panel body 1.
[0038] The bottom of the mounting plate 5 is attached to the inner surface of the aluminum single panel body 1, which increases the contact area between the reinforcing rib 2 and the aluminum single panel body 1. During the load transfer process, the mounting plate 5 can distribute the force borne by the reinforcing rib 2 to a wider inner surface area of the aluminum single panel body 1, reduce the stress per unit area, further reduce the risk of deformation of the aluminum single panel body 1 due to excessive force, and improve the overall load-bearing capacity.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the metal spring 4 is made of spring steel and is welded and fixed to the reinforcing rib 2. The shape of the metal spring 4 is corrugated.
[0040] When the hanging rod is engaged in the second hook groove 3, the corrugated metal spring 4 can adapt to the diameter of the hanging rod more smoothly through the expansion and contraction of its own structure, while generating a more uniform clamping force on the hanging rod, further enhancing the fixing effect on the hanging rod and reducing the gap and shaking between the hanging rod and the hook groove.
[0041] Example 3
[0042] The solutions in Embodiments 1 and 2 will be further described below with reference to their specific working methods.
[0043] During installation, when the construction workers install the aluminum panels, they first use the groove 6 on the outside of the aluminum panel body 1 for quick positioning. There is no need to rely on careful observation with the naked eye. They can determine the accurate position of the first hook groove 101 by simply touching the groove 6 with their hands, thus completing the initial positioning calibration.
[0044] When hooking and connecting, align the external keel hanging rod with the positioned first hook groove 101 and slowly insert it. After passing through the first hook groove 101, the hanging rod will continue to enter the second hook groove 3 on the inner reinforcing rib 2 of the aluminum panel body 1. During this process, the corrugated spring steel metal spring pieces 4 symmetrically arranged in the second hook groove 3 will be squeezed by the hanging rod and undergo elastic deformation. At the same time, the metal spring pieces 4 generate a reverse clamping force through their own elasticity, tightly adhering to the surface of the hanging rod, filling the gap between the hanging rod and the hook groove, and reducing the relative sway between the aluminum panel and the hanging rod.
[0045] After the hanging rod is engaged, the weight of the aluminum panel itself and any external loads it may bear will be transferred to the reinforcing rib 2 through the first hook groove 101. Since the reinforcing rib 2 is fixed to the side of the aluminum panel body 1 by rivets, and its bottom is in large-area contact with the inner surface of the aluminum panel body 1 through an integrally formed panel 5, the load will first be distributed to the panel 5 via the reinforcing rib 2, and then evenly transferred to the entire aluminum panel body 1 by the panel 5, avoiding load concentration in a localized area of the first hook groove 101. Simultaneously, the support structure formed by the corner plate 102 and the crossbar 103 on the inner side of the aluminum panel body 1 will further help disperse the stress within the aluminum panel body 1, jointly improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the aluminum panel and preventing plastic deformation.
[0046] During long-term use, the metal spring sheet 4 made of spring steel can maintain the clamping force on the hanging rod due to its excellent fatigue resistance, avoiding the gap caused by spring sheet failure. The multi-support structure composed of reinforcing rib 2, plate 5, corner plate 102, and crossbar 103 can stably bear the load and ensure the structural integrity of the aluminum panel body 1. The positioning function of the groove 6 also provides convenience for the subsequent inspection and replacement of the aluminum panel. It can be quickly disassembled and installed by simply touching the groove 6.
[0047] The above description is only a further embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
