Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an aluminum alloy profile, specifically a supporting aluminum profile with a grooved connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction and use of various support frames, the connection performance of the supporting aluminum profiles directly determines the practicality and safety of the support frame. Currently, the connection structure of the supporting aluminum profiles used in traditional support frames has significant defects. The connection positions are mostly fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the connection points between the beams and columns according to actual support needs. For example, in the construction of support frames such as warehouse racks and equipment supports, changes in the size of stored items or adjustments to the equipment installation position often require adaptive changes to the structural distribution of the support frame. However, existing connection methods struggle to achieve this, limiting the applicability of the support frame and failing to meet diverse support requirements.

[0003] Although adjustable crossbeam support aluminum profiles have gradually appeared on the market, their connection structures are relatively complex, and their fastening effect is not ideal. They are prone to loosening during long-term use, which may lead to the collapse of the support frame and pose a serious threat to surrounding personnel and equipment. Therefore, the support aluminum profile with a grooved connection structure of this utility model was developed to solve the above-mentioned pain points in the use of support frames. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a supporting aluminum profile with a grooved connection structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A support aluminum profile with a slotted connection structure includes a column and a crossbeam. The column has several slots, and the crossbeam is fixedly connected to the column by a connector. The connector fits into the inner side of the column, and the connector is connected to the column by a fastener.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the grooves are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the column.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the fastener is a bolt and nut unit, and both the column and the connector are provided with connection holes. The bolt and nut unit connects the column and the connector through the connection holes.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connector is provided with a fastening groove, and an end block that matches the fastening groove is fixedly connected to the end of the crossbeam. After the end block is inserted into the fastening groove and the slot, it is locked by a locking mechanism provided on the column.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the locking mechanism is a locking stud threaded onto the column, and the locking stud passes through the column and is threadedly connected to the end block.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a reinforcing plate is rotatably connected to the end block, and a through groove is provided on the reinforcing plate, through which a locking stud passes and is threadedly connected to the end block.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the locking stud includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The diameter of the second connecting part is larger than that of the first connecting part. When the first connecting part is threadedly connected to the end block, the second connecting part abuts against the surface of the reinforcing plate. The reinforcing plate adheres to the surface of the end block under the abutting force of the second connecting part. At this time, the outer dimension of the reinforcing plate in the length direction of the beam is larger than the outer dimension of the fastening groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, and the crossbeam and column are connected by a connector. The specific connection groove can be adjusted according to the connection requirements, so the structural distribution can be adjusted very conveniently to meet different usage requirements. At the same time, the device further strengthens the crossbeam by locking studs to ensure that the supporting aluminum profile will not loosen, tilt or collapse during long-term use.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" 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 this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A supporting aluminum profile with a slotted connection structure includes a column 1 and a crossbeam 2. The column 1 has several slots 3, and the crossbeam 2 is fixedly connected to the column 1 via connectors 4. (See also...) Figure 3The connector 4 fits into the inner surface of the column 1, and the connector 4 is connected to the column 1 by fasteners 5. The grooves 3 are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the column 1. Alternatively, the grooves 3 can be precisely cut according to actual connection requirements.

[0028] The column 1 serves as the main support, with grooves 3 formed on its surface for connection. These grooves not only provide multi-position installation and adjustment space for the crossbeam 2 but also act as limiting structures at the ends of the crossbeam 2, enhancing connection stability. The crossbeam 2 is the load-bearing component, its ends forming a precise connection with the column 1. When the grooves 3 are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the column 1, the height or spacing of the crossbeam 2 can be flexibly adjusted by selecting different grooves 3.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Fastener 5 is a bolt and nut unit. Both the column 1 and the connector 4 have connection holes 6. The bolt and nut unit connects the column 1 and the connector 4 through the connection holes 6. Alternatively, the connector 4 can be directly fixed to the column 1 by riveting or welding. However, the non-removable fixed connection reduces the compatibility of the assembled support aluminum profile. The connector 4 has a fastening groove 7. The end block 8 that matches the fastening groove 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the crossbeam 2. After the end block 8 is inserted into the fastening groove 7 and the groove 3, it is locked by the locking mechanism 9 provided on the column 1.

[0030] Connector 4 serves as an intermediate transition component between the crossbeam 2 and the column 1. Its shape perfectly matches the inner surface of the column 1, allowing it to fit snugly against the inner wall of the column 1 for initial positioning. Connector 4 and column 1 have corresponding connecting holes 6. During assembly, fasteners 5 pass through the connecting holes 6 and are tightened to firmly fix connector 4 in the preset position on column 1, providing a stable support foundation for the installation of crossbeam 2.

[0031] An end block 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the crossbeam 2, the size of which matches the fastening groove 7 on the connector 4 and the recess 3 of the column 1. During assembly, the end block 8 at the end of the crossbeam 2 is inserted horizontally into the fastening groove 7 of the connector 4, while the end block 8 is partially embedded in the recess 3 of the column 1, ensuring precise alignment between the crossbeam 2 and the connector 4. The orientation of the fastening groove 7 is along the length of the crossbeam 2, and attention should be paid to the orientation of the fastening groove 7 when connecting the connector 4 and the column 1. After inserting the crossbeam 2, a fastening operation is performed using the locking mechanism 9. For example, the connection can be achieved by directly connecting the column 1 and the end block 8 from the slot on the side of the column 1 using self-tapping screws.

[0032] Example 2: This example discloses the following technical content based on the previous example: Please refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The locking mechanism 9 consists of a locking stud threaded onto the column 1, which passes through the column 1 and is threadedly connected to the end block 8. A reinforcing plate 10 is rotatably connected to the end block 8, and a through groove 11 is provided on the reinforcing plate 10. The locking stud passes through the through groove 11 and is threadedly connected to the end block 8. The locking stud includes a first connecting part 12 and a second connecting part 13. The diameter of the second connecting part 13 is larger than that of the first connecting part 12. When the first connecting part 12 is threadedly connected to the end block 8, the second connecting part 13 abuts against the surface of the reinforcing plate 10. Under the abutting force of the second connecting part 13, the reinforcing plate 10 adheres to the surface of the end block 8. At this time, the outer dimension of the reinforcing plate 10 in the length direction of the beam 2 is larger than the outer dimension of the fastening groove 7. The reinforcing plate 10 can be implemented using other structures. For example, two reinforcing plates 10 can be rotatably connected at the end of the end block 8 by a torsion spring. Under the action of external force, the reinforcing plate 10 rotates inward and is inserted into the column 1 after passing through the groove 3 and the fastening groove 7. Under the action of the torsion spring, the reinforcing plate 10 can be unfolded and fixed.

[0033] In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate 10 requires a suitable locking stud structure for reinforcement. Specifically, the reinforcing plate 10, which is rotatably connected to the end block 8, has a through groove 11. The locking stud passes through the through groove 11 of the reinforcing plate 10 and connects to the end block 8. When the locking stud is tightened, because the diameter of its second connecting part 13 is larger than that of the first connecting part 12, the end of the second connecting part 13 abuts against the surface of the reinforcing plate 10, forcing the reinforcing plate 10 to fit tightly against the surface of the end block 8 under pressure. At the same time, because the reinforcing plate 10 is relatively long, the outer dimension of the reinforcing plate 10 in the length direction of the crossbeam 2 is larger than the outer dimension of the fastening groove 7, forming a "blocking" structure, which can effectively restrict the end block 8 from coming out of the fastening groove 7 or the recess 3, further enhancing the anti-loosening capability of the connection. The orientation of the reinforcing plate 10 can be adjusted according to requirements. Figure 6 Setting the direction in the opposite direction can further enhance the reinforcement effect.

[0034] To further reinforce the structure, inclined tie rods can be connected to the column 1 and the crossbeam 2, thereby improving the stability of the structure. Fixing holes can also be made on the upper surface of the crossbeam 2, and then a flat plate can be placed on the crossbeam 2 to form a stable supporting aluminum profile.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
