Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building decoration materials technology, and in particular to a flexible aluminum-plastic panel connecting component suitable for curved surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] Building decoration materials are an important component of the aesthetics and functionality of the interior and exterior environments of buildings, and are widely used in wall cladding, ceilings, column decoration, and irregular shapes. Aluminum composite panels, due to their advantages such as lightweight, high strength, good weather resistance, rich colors, and ease of processing, have become one of the commonly used composite materials in modern building decoration.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the Chinese patent CN205935503U "An Aluminum Composite Panel Connecting Component", a connecting component body and an I-shaped fixing bracket are provided. The connecting component body has aluminum composite panel slots on both sides. The front side of the connecting component body is arc-shaped. A hollow tube is provided in the middle of the connecting component body. The outer surface of the hollow tube is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the connecting component body by reinforcing ribs. A plastic core board is filled between the hollow tube and the connecting component body. The front part of the I-shaped fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting component body. Bolt holes are symmetrically provided at the rear of the I-shaped fixing bracket. Its structure is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, the installation is convenient, the weight is light, the fixation is stable, and the waterproof and corrosion-resistant performance is good.

[0004] Although this type of aluminum composite panel (ACP) connecting component provides a stable connection for ACP panels in conventional flat scenarios, it still has significant drawbacks and cannot adapt to the decorative needs of curved surfaces. Firstly, the connecting component itself uses a composite structure of rigid plastic and reinforcing ribs, with only the front side being a fixed arc shape. The entire component cannot be flexibly bent according to the curvature of the curved surface. When used for non-planar decorations such as arcs and waves, forced stress is easily generated between the connecting component and the ACP, leading to cracks at the edges of the ACP and unevenness at the joints, thus compromising the integrity of the decoration. Secondly, the width of the ACP slot is fixed, and the connecting component and the bracket are an integrated structure, making it impossible to replace the slot components according to different widths of ACP panels. This limits its applicability. When it is necessary to replace ACP panels of different specifications, the entire connecting component must be replaced, increasing construction costs and operational complexity, thus requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing technologies that cannot adapt to curved surfaces and use only aluminum composite panels with limited specifications, and to propose a flexible aluminum composite panel connecting component suitable for curved surfaces.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flexible aluminum-plastic composite panel connecting component suitable for curved surfaces, comprising a flexible substrate and a connecting plate. The connecting plate has an aluminum-plastic composite panel slot on its side, and a U-shaped groove on the inner side of the slot. The connecting plate has symmetrically threaded fixing bolts on its side. A corrugated metal reinforcing rib is embedded inside the flexible substrate. An mounting base is fixedly installed on the back of the flexible substrate. A horizontal plate is provided inside the mounting base. An adjusting plate is slidably connected inside the horizontal plate. A fixing plate is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting plate. A fixing hole is formed through the surface of the fixing plate. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate. A groove is formed on the surface of the flexible substrate. A limiting rod is slidably connected inside the flexible substrate. A limiting hole is formed on the side of the protrusion. A limiting disc is fixedly connected to the surface of the limiting rod. A tension spring is sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod. A pull ring is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting plate is disposed on both sides of the flexible substrate, and one end of the fixing bolt extends into the aluminum-plastic plate slot.

[0008] Preferably, the flexible substrate is made of thermoplastic polyurethane material, and the corrugated metal reinforcing rib is made of stainless steel strip.

[0009] Preferably, the protrusion and the groove are slidably connected.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting rod and the limiting hole are slidably connected.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting disc, and the other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flexible substrate.

[0012] Preferably, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the side of the adjusting plate, an mounting plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the horizontal plate, a hexagonal bolt is threaded onto the surface of the mounting plate, and bolt holes are formed on the surface of the adjusting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting base, and the hexagonal bolt is threadedly connected to the bolt hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, by embedding corrugated metal reinforcing ribs inside the flexible substrate and setting U-shaped adhesive grooves on both sides of the connecting plate, after inserting the aluminum composite panel, it is bonded with structural adhesive and tightened with fixing bolts. This allows the connecting component to bend and deform with the curved surface while providing stable connection strength. This effectively solves the problem that traditional rigid connectors cannot adapt to curved surface shapes and are prone to causing the panel to crack or the joints to be uneven. At the same time, the protrusions on the connecting plate slide with the protrusions of the flexible substrate, and with the help of the limit rod, tension spring and pull ring, quick locking and unlocking are achieved, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the connecting plate, adapts to the installation requirements of aluminum composite panels of different widths, and improves construction flexibility and maintenance convenience.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, by rotating the hexagonal bolts to unscrew them from the bolt holes of the adjusting plate, the locking and fixing of the adjusting plate can be released. At this time, the adjusting plate can be slid along the horizontal plate to change its extension length, thereby adjusting the installation position of the fixing plate to adapt to keel structures of different depths or spacings. After adjustment, the hexagonal bolts are tightened again to press and fix the adjusting plate and the mounting plate, thereby significantly improving the installation adaptability and construction convenience of the connecting components.

[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a flexible aluminum-plastic composite panel connecting component suitable for curved surfaces, including a flexible substrate 1 and a connecting plate 2. The connecting plate 2 has an aluminum-plastic composite panel slot 3 on its side, and a U-shaped groove 4 on the inner side of the slot 3. The connecting plate 2 is symmetrically threaded with fixing bolts 5 on its side. A corrugated metal reinforcing rib 6 is embedded inside the flexible substrate 1. A mounting base 7 is fixedly installed on the back of the flexible substrate 1. A horizontal plate 8 is provided inside the mounting base 7, and an adjusting plate 9 is slidably connected inside the horizontal plate 8. A fixing plate 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting plate 9. A fixing hole 11 is formed through the surface of the fixing plate 10. A protrusion 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 2, and a groove 13 is formed on the surface of the flexible substrate 1. The flexible substrate 1 has a sliding connection of a limiting rod 14 inside, a limiting hole 15 on the side of the protrusion 12, a limiting plate 16 fixedly connected to the surface of the limiting rod 14, a tension spring 17 sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod 14, a pull ring 18 fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod 14, a connecting plate 2 on both sides of the flexible substrate 1, one end of the fixing bolt 5 extending into the aluminum-plastic plate slot 3, the flexible substrate 1 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane material, the corrugated metal reinforcing rib 6 is made of stainless steel strip, the protrusion 12 and the groove 13 are slidably connected, the limiting rod 14 and the limiting hole 15 are slidably connected, one end of the tension spring 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 16, and the other end of the tension spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flexible substrate 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, during use, the flexible aluminum composite panel connecting component is first installed on the wall keel or supporting structure through the fixing holes 11 on the fixing plate 10 or with hexagonal bolts 21. Then, the edges of the two aluminum composite panels to be connected are respectively inserted into the aluminum composite panel slots 3 of the connecting plates 2 on both sides. At the same time, polyurethane structural adhesive is filled into the U-shaped glue groove 4 to enhance the bonding strength. Then, the fixing bolts 5 on the side of the connecting plate 2 are tightened to press the ends of the aluminum composite panels to achieve mechanically assisted fixing. When it is necessary to replace the connecting plate 2 to accommodate aluminum composite panels of different widths, the pull ring 18 is pulled to move the limiting rod 14, compressing the tension spring 17, so that the limiting rod 14 disengages from the limiting hole 15 on the protrusion 12. At this time, the protrusion 12 can slide in the groove 13 of the flexible substrate 1. After adjusting the position of the connecting plate 2, the pull ring 18 is released, and the limiting rod 14 is reinserted into the limiting hole 15 under the action of the spring force to complete the locking.

[0028] Example 2: As Figures 1-6 As shown, a rotating shaft 19 is fixedly installed on the side of the adjusting plate 9, and an mounting plate 20 is fixedly installed on the surface of the horizontal plate 8. A hexagonal bolt 21 is threadedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 20. A bolt hole 22 is opened on the surface of the adjusting plate 9. The rotating shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 7, and the hexagonal bolt 21 is threadedly connected to the bolt hole 22.

[0029] In this embodiment, the hexagonal bolt 21 is rotated to unscrew it from the bolt hole 22 of the adjusting plate 9, thereby releasing the locking and fixing of the adjusting plate 9. At this time, the adjusting plate 9 can be slid along the horizontal plate 8 to change its extension length, thereby adjusting the installation position of the fixing plate 10 to adapt to keel structures of different depths or spacings. After adjustment, the hexagonal bolt 21 is tightened again to press and fix the adjusting plate 9 and the mounting plate 20, thereby significantly improving the installation adaptability and construction convenience of the connecting components.

[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, according to the requirements of the curved surface design, a flexible substrate 1 of corresponding length is selected. The flexible substrate 1 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane material and can be directly bent. The internally embedded stainless steel strip corrugated metal reinforcing ribs 6 can maintain the stability of the bent shape. Next, the protrusion 12 on the side of the connecting plate 2 is aligned with the groove 13 on the surface of the flexible substrate 1 and slid in. After insertion, the pull ring 18 is released, and the tension spring 17 causes the limiting rod 14 to insert into the limiting hole 15 on the side of the protrusion 12, completing the fixation of the connecting plate 2 and the flexible substrate 1. Then, the aluminum composite panel is installed. Structural adhesive is filled into the U-shaped groove 4 inside the aluminum composite panel slot 3 on the side of the connecting plate 2. The end of the aluminum composite panel is inserted into the aluminum composite panel slot 3. The symmetrical fixing bolts 5 on the side of the connecting plate 2 are rotated, causing one end of the fixing bolt 5 to extend into the aluminum composite panel slot 3 and press the aluminum composite panel. Combined with the structural adhesive, the aluminum composite panel and the connecting plate 2 are double-fixed. After fixing, adjust the connection position between the mounting base 7 and the external keel. Rotate the hex bolt 21 on the mounting plate 20 on the surface of the horizontal plate 8 so that the hex bolt 21 is unscrewed from the bolt hole 22 on the surface of the adjusting plate 9, releasing the fixing of the adjusting plate 9. Slide the adjusting plate 9 along the horizontal plate 8 to change its extension length, driving the fixing plate 10 to move synchronously. When the fixing hole 11 on the surface of the fixing plate 10 is aligned with the installation position of the external keel, stop sliding the adjusting plate 9, retighten the hex bolt 21 so that the hex bolt 21 passes through the mounting plate 20 and is screwed into the bolt hole 22 of the adjusting plate 9, pressing the adjusting plate 9 and the mounting plate 20 together. Finally, use bolts to connect the entire connecting component to the external keel through the fixing hole 11 on the surface of the fixing plate 10 to complete the installation. If it is necessary to replace the connecting plate 2 or adjust the width of the aluminum-plastic panel later, pull the pull ring 18 to disengage the limiting rod 14 from the limiting hole 15, and the connecting plate 2 can be slid out of the groove 13 for replacement.

[0031] 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.
