Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a single-sided fixing component, and more particularly to a single-sided fixing component used as a base support for a smart vending machine. Background Technology
[0002] The overall frame of a smart vending machine is constructed using steel frames, which are then covered with panels to create a storage space with a certain depth. During construction, the steel frames are typically connected according to the required height of the vending machine. Connections are made using steel structures such as I-beams and square steel, secured with connectors. While I-beam connections are simple, the need to connect numerous devices both inside and outside the smart vending machine necessitates perforating the I-beams. However, I-beams have limited connectable surfaces, increasing the difficulty of connection, and the numerous perforations significantly impact the structural strength of the frame. Using square steel, although offering more connectable surfaces and less impact on structural strength from numerous perforations, results in a heavier overall weight, and the enclosed nature of the vending machine makes the installation of bolts and other fasteners very inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a single-sided fixing component with high overall structural strength, convenient installation, and flexible use.
[0004] To achieve this objective, the structure adopted by this utility model is as follows: a single-sided fixing assembly, including a main crossbeam, a secondary crossbeam, and a longitudinal beam group. The longitudinal beam group includes an inner channel steel, an outer channel steel, an inner fixing plate, and an outer connecting plate. Multiple longitudinal beam groups are connected to the main crossbeam, and adjacent longitudinal beam groups are connected to each other through secondary crossbeams. The outer channel steel is connected to the main crossbeam and the secondary crossbeam on its outer side. The inner channel steel is inserted into the outer channel steel and fixed to the main crossbeam by the inner fixing plate. The outer connecting plate is set between the outer channel steel and the secondary crossbeam. Both the inner channel steel and the outer channel steel are channel steel structures with one side opening.
[0005] The opening of the inner channel steel faces the main crossbeam. A side strip is provided on one side of the opening of the inner channel steel. The side strip has an L-shaped cross-section. One side of the side strip is connected to the inner channel steel, and the other side is provided with a first folded edge. A first folded edge is provided on the other side of the opening of the inner channel steel. Multiple long strip-shaped channels are arranged on the side of the inner channel steel that contacts the secondary crossbeam.
[0006] The opening of the outer channel steel faces the main crossbeam. A connecting edge that bends inward is provided on one side of the opening, and a U-shaped clip is provided on the other side. The opening of the clip faces the connecting edge. Multiple irregular holes are evenly arranged on the side of the clip and the connecting edge that contacts the main crossbeam, and a second folded edge that bends inward toward the outer channel steel is provided at the edge.
[0007] The inner fixing plate is symmetrically provided with L-shaped connecting strips on both sides, with connecting holes evenly arranged on the connecting strips, and a third folded edge that bends outward on the edge of the connecting strip.
[0008] The outer connecting plate is a steel plate structure with an L-shaped longitudinal section. An insert plate is connected to the outer connecting plate. The top and bottom of the insert plate are pointed, and the pointed shape extends beyond the upper and lower edges of the outer connecting plate.
[0009] The inner channel steel has reinforcing strips arranged inside.
[0010] Its beneficial effects are: the structure of this utility model is reasonable and ingenious. It is connected by inserting inner and outer channel steels. The length of the inner channel steel can be flexibly adjusted according to different container sizes. The channel steel structure with one side opening ensures the stability of the overall structure while reducing weight and facilitating the installation of each connecting part.

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components; a fixed connection can be welding or adhesive bonding. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0020] like Figure 1 The single-sided fixing assembly shown includes a main crossbeam 2, a secondary crossbeam 1, and a longitudinal beam group. The longitudinal beam group includes an inner channel steel 4, an outer channel steel 5, an inner fixing plate 6, and an outer connecting plate 7. Multiple longitudinal beam groups are connected to the main crossbeam 2, and adjacent longitudinal beam groups are interconnected via the secondary crossbeam 1. The main crossbeam 2 and the secondary crossbeams are parallel to each other, and the bottom of the longitudinal beam group is supported by foot 3. The outer channel steel 5 connects to the main crossbeam 2 and the secondary crossbeam 1 on its outer side. The inner channel steel 4 is inserted into the outer channel steel 5 and fixed to the main crossbeam 2 by the inner fixing plate 6. The outer connecting plate 7 is located between the outer channel steel 5 and the secondary crossbeam 1. Both the inner channel steel 4 and the outer channel steel 5 are channel steel structures with an opening on one side. The longitudinal beam group is formed by the interlocking combination of inner and outer channel steels, which facilitates the selection of different sizes of inner channel steel for matching with different sizes of smart vending machines. Simultaneously, the open channel steel structure not only reduces the overall weight while ensuring overall structural strength but also facilitates operation from the opening, making it easy to install and remove bolts and other fasteners.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner channel steel 4 has an opening facing the main crossbeam 2, and multiple connecting holes are arranged on its surface. A side strip 41 is provided on one side of the opening of the inner channel steel 4. The side strip 41 has an L-shaped cross-section, connects to the inner channel steel 4 on one side, and has a first folded edge 42 on the other side. A first folded edge 42 is also provided on the other side of the opening of the inner channel steel 4. Multiple elongated grooves 43 are arranged on the surface of the inner channel steel 4 that contacts the secondary crossbeam 1. These elongated grooves 43 are arranged in two parallel rows longitudinally on the surface of the inner channel steel 4, and the two rows of elongated grooves 43 are staggered. The elongated grooves 43 can serve as connection points for equipment installation and also provide expansion and contraction space for engagement with the outer channel steel 5.
[0022] like Figure 3As shown, the opening of the outer channel steel 5 faces the main crossbeam 1. One side of the opening has an inwardly bent connecting edge 53, and the other side has a U-shaped retaining strip 51. When the inner channel steel 4 is inserted into the outer channel steel 5, the edge strip 41 of the inner channel steel 4 cooperates with the retaining strip 51 of the outer channel steel 5. The two first folded edges 42 of the inner channel steel 4 respectively abut against the connecting edge 53 and the inner wall of the retaining strip 51 of the outer channel steel 5. The retaining strip 51 opens towards the connecting edge 53. Multiple irregularly shaped holes 54 are evenly arranged on the surface of the retaining strip 51 and the connecting edge 53 that contacts the main crossbeam 2. The irregularly shaped holes 54 have smaller diameters at both ends and a larger diameter in the center. The edges of the retaining strip 51 and the connecting edge 53 are both provided with second folded edges 52 that bend inward towards the inside of the outer channel steel 5. The second folded edges 52 serve as a limiting element to prevent the inner channel steel 4 from slipping or shifting.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner fixing plate 6 is symmetrically provided with L-shaped connecting strips 61 on both sides. Connecting holes are evenly arranged on the connecting strips 61. The edges of the connecting strips 61 are provided with outwardly bent third folded edges 62. When the inner fixing plate 6 is inserted into the inner channel steel 4, the two connecting strips 61 are respectively attached to the retaining strips 51 and connecting edges 53 of the outer channel steel 5, and are fixedly connected to the main crossbeam 2 by bolts. At the same time, the third folded edges 62 abut against the two sides of the opening of the inner channel steel 4. Due to the presence of the two connecting strips 61, the plate body of the inner fixing plate 6 forms a certain bulge relative to the main crossbeam 2. The bulge can provide a certain space for the thermal expansion and contraction of the inner and outer channel steels, so that they always maintain a tight connection.
[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer connecting plate 7 is a steel plate structure with an L-shaped longitudinal section. An insert plate 9 is connected to the outer connecting plate 7. The top and bottom of the insert plate 9 are pointed, extending beyond the upper and lower edges of the outer connecting plate 7. When other structures are connected to the outer channel steel 5, the pointed portions extending beyond the upper and lower ends of the insert plate 9 serve as limiting and locking mechanisms, ensuring the initial positioning of the structure and facilitating subsequent fastening operations.
[0025] The inner channel steel 4 has multiple reinforcing bars 8 arranged inside. The reinforcing bars 8 are long strips of steel that are fixed to the inner wall of the inner channel steel 4 with bolts, thereby reinforcing the structure of the inner channel steel 4.
[0026] Based on the above description and inspired by this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
