Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction technology, and in particular to a scaffolding connector. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, with the national promotion of urban renewal, reinforcement and renovation projects are becoming increasingly common. When constructing exterior facade renovations, ground-supported scaffolding is essential. Exterior wall scaffolding is a crucial protective structure in the construction process, referring to all scaffolding erected around the perimeter of buildings. It is primarily used for exterior wall masonry, facade decoration, and reinforced concrete projects. Wall ties are key to scaffold stability. Existing methods connect scaffolding to walls by pre-embedding steel pipes within the wall and then connecting them using fasteners. This method has drawbacks: deviations in the pre-embedded pipes can easily lead to misalignment between the pipes and the scaffolding; furthermore, bolts are required to secure the pipes to the scaffolding via fasteners, making the process inconvenient. Subsequent dismantling of the fasteners requires oxy-acetylene cutting of the pre-embedded steel pipes, generating significant waste. In addition, since the distance between the scaffolding and the wall varies, generally between 250 and 400 mm, connectors of the same specification cannot be directly adjusted to fit the wall.
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing connectors, such as complex installation and disassembly and poor adjustment adaptability, those skilled in the art have been looking for solutions. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a scaffolding connector to solve the problems of complex installation and disassembly and poor adjustment adaptability of the connectors in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a scaffold connector, which includes:
[0006] Fasteners;
[0007] The adjustable connecting body includes: a threaded rod, a threaded sleeve, and a first fastener. The first end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the fastener, and the second end of the threaded rod is connected to the first end of the threaded sleeve. The fastener is sleeved on the threaded rod and fixedly connected to the first end of the threaded sleeve to limit and fix the position of the threaded rod relative to the threaded sleeve.
[0008] The fixing component includes: a first plate, a second plate, and at least two second fasteners, based on which the connection between the first plate and the second plate is established; the second end of the threaded sleeve of the adjustable connecting body is vertically fixed to the first plate of the fixing component.
[0009] Optionally, in the scaffold connector, each second fastener includes a bolt and a nut that mates with the bolt.

[0016] Optionally, in the scaffold connector, the length of the threaded rod ranges from 250 to 400 mm.
[0017] The scaffolding connector provided by this utility model includes a fastener, an adjustable connecting body, and a fixing component. The adjustable connecting body includes a threaded rod, a threaded sleeve, and a first fastener. The first end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the fastener, and the second end of the threaded rod is connected to the first end of the threaded sleeve. The fastener is sleeved on the threaded rod and fixedly connected to the first end of the threaded sleeve to limit and fix the position of the threaded rod relative to the threaded sleeve.

[0026] The scaffolding connector of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0028] In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the utility model 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0029] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of a utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0030] In utility models, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 The scaffolding connector includes: a fastener 1, an adjustable connecting body 2, and a fixing component 3. During actual construction, the fastener 1 is fastened to a scaffolding upright 4 to establish a connection between the scaffolding connector and the scaffolding. The adjustable connecting body 2 includes: a threaded rod 21, a threaded sleeve 22, and a first fastener 23. The first end of the threaded rod 21 is fixedly connected to the fastener 1, and the second end of the threaded rod 21 is connected to the first end of the threaded sleeve 22. The fastener is fitted onto the threaded rod 21 and fixedly connected to the first end of the threaded sleeve 22 to restrict and fix the position of the threaded rod 21 relative to the threaded sleeve 22. The fixing component 3 includes: a first plate 31, a second plate 32, and at least two second fasteners 33, establishing a connection between the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 based on the second fasteners 33. The second end of the threaded sleeve 22 of the adjustable connecting body 2 is vertically fixed to the first plate 31 of the fixing component 3. Preferably, the length of the threaded rod is in the range of 250–400 mm.
[0032] Here, by designing the adjustable connecting body as a three-way combination of a threaded rod, a threaded sleeve, and a first fastener, the overall length of the threaded rod and the threaded sleeve is changed after the threaded rod rotates relative to the threaded sleeve, thereby achieving the adjustment of the length of the adjustable connecting body. It has flexible adjustability. Accordingly, the scaffolding connector of this utility model can be applied to various spacings between scaffolding and the original structure, has universality, and the length adjustment process is simple and easy to operate.
[0033] Based on the design of the fixing components, during actual construction, only the same number of mounting holes as the second fasteners 33 need to be drilled on the original structure 5. The second plate 32 is placed on the inner side of the original structure 5, and the first plate 31 is placed on the opposite outer side of the original structure 5. Second fasteners 33 that penetrate the original structure 5 are selected, and the connection between the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 is established based on the second fasteners 33. Simultaneously, the fixing components 3 are fixed to the original structure 5 under construction. This design primarily considers the weathering and erosion of the old structure in the renovation project. Directly using expansion bolts would not be feasible, so the fixing components 3 are driven through the original structure 5, effectively improving pull-out resistance. Subsequently, when the original structure 5 needs to be dismantled after construction, only the second fasteners 33 need to be removed to dismantle the scaffolding connectors. The entire dismantling process involves only unscrewing the bolts and nuts, is simple to operate, produces no waste, and can be reused later.
[0034] In this embodiment, each second fastener includes a bolt and a matching nut. The bolt is preferably an M14 bolt, but bolts of M14 or larger can also be selected based on construction needs. Furthermore, both the first and second plates have fastening holes adapted to the second fasteners. Preferably, the fastening holes are slotted holes. Slotted holes provide a certain amount of compensation space when the second fastener is assembled with the first and second plates, allowing them to be smoothly installed together. For example, in the connection of a frame structure, slotted holes allow the bolt to move within a certain range, avoiding assembly problems caused by tolerance accumulation. In this embodiment, both the first and second plates are triangular steel plates. Correspondingly, there are three second fasteners, each forming a vertex of a triangle. The three points are coplanar, forming a stable anchoring structure, providing sufficient and stable connection anchoring force for the scaffold connectors. It is understood that the above examples are merely examples listed to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application and are not intended as the sole limitation of this embodiment.
[0035] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of the utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model and their equivalents, the utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
