Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum profile connectors, and in particular to an invisible aluminum profile connector. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum profiles are industrial materials with specific cross-sectional shapes, made primarily from aluminum or aluminum alloys through a hot-melt extrusion process. This material is widely used in building frames, machinery and equipment, and transportation components, leveraging its advantages of lightweight and corrosion resistance.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, when two aluminum profiles are to be connected and fixed together, they are usually connected with the help of connectors, and then the aluminum profiles are firmly installed on the connectors by mounting bolts to complete the connection and installation of the two aluminum profiles. However, the above installation method usually requires drilling holes in the aluminum profiles, cutting the ends of the aluminum profiles, and the operation is easy to damage them. At the same time, the bolts are usually exposed and not hidden, which is not aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology: aluminum profiles are firmly installed on the connector by mounting bolts to complete the butt joint installation of two aluminum profiles. However, the above installation method generally requires drilling holes in the aluminum profiles, and the cutting of the aluminum profile ends is easy to damage them. At the same time, the bolts are generally exposed without being hidden, which is not aesthetically pleasing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an aluminum profile concealed connector, comprising a connector body and an aluminum profile body, wherein grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of both the connector body and the aluminum profile body, and an insert block is fixedly connected to the port surface of the aluminum profile body, the insert block being inserted into and connected to the connector body, a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the surface of the connector body near its port groove, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the insert block, a movable groove is provided at one end of the threaded rod, and a movable component is slidably connected in the movable groove, a locking pin is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of one end of the movable component, and the locking pin is engaged with the surface of the movable groove, and a torsion block is fixedly connected to the end of the movable component away from the locking pin.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the insert block is in contact with the inner wall of the connector body at the insertion position.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the width and thickness of the torsion block are consistent with the width and depth of the groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the torsion block are provided with tension grooves.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] This invention provides a method to install a plug at the connection port of the aluminum profile body and drill holes in it. The plug is then mated to the connector body, and a threaded rod passes through the connector body and is threaded into the hole of the plug. This method ensures that the aluminum profile body is stably installed on the connector body, thereby effectively avoiding damage to the aluminum profile body caused by drilling holes.

[0011] When the insert is engaged with the port of the connector body, the locking pin on the movable part engages with the front end of the movable slot. When the torsion block is turned, the threaded rod will rotate, which facilitates the threaded rod to pass through the connector body and be rotated into the hole of the insert.

[0012] When the threaded rod completely fills the hole of the insert and the torsion block can no longer be turned, push the torsion block inward to move the movable part into the movable groove. At this time, the locking pin disengages from the front end of the movable groove, so that the torsion block does not move with the threaded rod when it rotates. Then, rotate and adjust the torsion block during the pushing process so that it can be successfully embedded in the groove of the connector body. In this way, the torsion block hides the threaded rod and does not appear obtrusive on the connector body, which is more aesthetically pleasing. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an aluminum profile concealed connector, including a connector body 1 and an aluminum profile body 2. Grooves 3 are provided on the front and rear sides of both the connector body 1 and the aluminum profile body 2. A plug 4 is fixedly connected to the port surface of the aluminum profile body 2. The plug 4 is inserted into and connected to the connector body 1. The plug 4 allows for precise mating and installation between the aluminum profile body 2 and the connector body 1. Holes are drilled in the plug 4 to allow it to mate with the connector body. 1. The threaded rod 5 passes through the hole of the connector body 1 and is threadedly connected to the insertion block 4, so that the aluminum profile body 2 is stably installed on the connector body 1, thereby effectively avoiding damage to the aluminum profile body 2 caused by drilling. The threaded rod 5 is connected through the groove 3 near its port of the connector body 1, and the threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to the insertion block 4. A movable groove 6 is opened at one end of the threaded rod 5, and a movable part 7 is slidably connected in the movable groove 6. The front and rear sides of one end of the movable part 7 are fixedly connected to the locking post 8, and the locking post 8 The movable part 7 is engaged with the surface of the movable groove 6. A torsion block 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable part 7 away from the locking post 8. When the insert 4 engages with the port of the connector body 1, the locking post 8 on the movable part 7 engages at the front end of the movable groove 6. Twisting the torsion block 9 will cause the threaded rod 5 to rotate, thus facilitating the threaded rod 5 to pass through the connector body 1 and rotate into the hole of the insert 4, allowing the aluminum profile body 2 to be stably connected to the connector body 1. When the threaded rod 5 completely fills the hole of the insert 4 and the torsion block 9 cannot be twisted further, the torsion block 9 is then... The pusher moves the movable part 7 into the movable groove 6. At this time, the locking pin 8 disengages from the front end of the movable groove 6, so that the torsion block 9 does not move with the threaded rod 5 when it rotates. Then, the torsion block 9 is rotated and adjusted during the pushing process, so that it is successfully embedded in the groove 3 of the connector body 1. In this way, the torsion block 9 hides the threaded rod 5 and does not appear obtrusive on the connector body 1, which is more aesthetically pleasing. At this time, the locking pin 8 engages with the rear end of the movable groove 6, which improves the stability of the torsion block 9 embedded in the groove 3 of the connector body 1.

[0021] Example 2

[0022] like Figure 1-3As shown, the outer wall of the insert 4 fits snugly against the inner wall of the connector body 1 at the insertion position. This ensures that the insert 4 can connect well with the connector body 1, preventing the insert 4 from moving around easily. After the insert 4 is fully inserted into the slot on the connector body 1, its threaded hole can be stably aligned with the through hole on the connector body 1, so as to facilitate the subsequent connection of the threaded rod 5 with the insert 4. The width and thickness of the torsion block 9 are consistent with the width and depth of the groove 3, so that the torsion block 9 can be perfectly embedded in the groove 3 on the connector body 1, ensuring aesthetics. Pulling grooves 10 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the torsion block 9. When it is necessary to rotate and remove the threaded rod 5 from the connector body 1 and the insert 4, the torsion block 9 can be pulled outward by placing a finger in the pulling groove 10. This allows the locking post 8 at one end of the movable part 7 to re-engage with the front end of the movable groove 6, so that when the torsion block 9 is twisted and rotated, it can drive the threaded rod 5 to rotate again, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the threaded rod 5.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
