Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gazebo technology, specifically to a gazebo connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Background Technology: As an outdoor recreational building, the safety and durability of a pavilion depend on the connection of its columns. Currently, the industry uses a traditional bolt-fastening process. Holes are drilled at the ends of the columns and beams, bolts are inserted after alignment, washers are fitted, and nuts are tightened. Fixing is achieved through bolt compression and preload. However, this connection method has significant structural defects: all external forces are transmitted to the columns and beams through the bolts, leading to excessive concentration of external forces and intensified compression effects. Under these conditions, the columns and beams are prone to excessive compression and plastic deformation; if lightweight steel is used, stress concentration can further lead to micro-cracks on the outer wall. Such damage directly undermines the integrity of the overall structure, causing overall structural deformation, significantly reducing the pavilion's load-bearing capacity, and easily leading to beam loosening and column tilting with long-term use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a connection structure for a pavilion to solve the technical problem that in the traditional bolt-fastening process, external forces are concentrated and transmitted to the columns and beams through the bolts, causing the columns and beams to undergo plastic deformation and micro-cracks due to excessive stress concentration, which in turn damages the structural integrity and reduces the load-bearing limit.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A connecting structure for a gazebo includes: columns, connectors, and locking components; The column includes a body and a mounting part. The body is hollow, and the mounting part is integrally connected to the upper end of the body, with an L-shaped notch. The connector is embedded in the mounting part. The connector includes an outer side plate and an inner side plate spaced parallel to the outer side plate. The outer side plate is attached to the inner wall of the mounting part and fixedly connected by a locking assembly. Two crossbeams are provided, arranged vertically and extending into the L-shaped notch of the mounting part. The outer surfaces of the two crossbeams are attached to the inner side plates and connected to the connector by the locking assembly.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the columns, beams, connectors, and locking components work together. The columns are equipped with mounting parts, and the connectors consist of an outer side plate and an inner side plate forming a double-layer connection structure. The outer side plate of the connector is attached to the inner wall of the mounting part and fixed by the locking components, thus constructing a stable load-bearing support frame for the entire connection structure. The inner side plate is attached to the outer surface of the two vertical beams, and the locking components ensure reliable fixation between the beams and the connectors. When external force is applied to the columns or beams, the force applied to the beams is first transmitted to the entire connector through the inner side plate of the connector, while the force applied to the columns is transmitted to the connectors through the mounting part. Subsequently, the external force is evenly distributed through the outer side plate of the connectors, effectively avoiding the problem of force concentration at the locking point when directly fastened with bolts. This provides core support for the load-bearing reliability, structural stability, and long-term durability of the pavilion connection structure. Furthermore, the connector has an installation groove between the outer side plate and the inner side plate, and the locking assembly includes a locking block and a fastener. The locking block is installed in the installation groove. The side wall of the mounting part has multiple installation holes, and the outer side plate of the connector has through holes corresponding to the number of installation holes. The fastener passes through the installation holes and through holes and is connected to the locking block.

[0006] By adopting the above solution, an installation groove is opened between the outer and inner side plates of the connector, and the locking block of the locking assembly is assembled into the installation groove. At the same time, multiple installation holes on the side wall of the column mounting part correspond one-to-one with the through holes on the outer side plate of the connector. Fasteners are then connected to the locking blocks after passing through the installation holes and through holes. This not only achieves a firm lock between the connector and the column, but also prevents the fasteners from loosening by limiting the locking block with the installation groove. Furthermore, the precise correspondence of the holes ensures the assembly accuracy, further enhancing the stability of the connection between the column and the connector, and laying the foundation for the reliable connection between the crossbeam and the connector in the future.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector is also provided with a sliding groove, which is respectively disposed on the outside of the mounting groove; the sliding groove has an opening on the side facing the crossbeam; the locking block is slidably disposed in the sliding groove; a first mounting hole is provided on the outer side wall of the crossbeam, and the fastener passes through the first mounting hole and is connected to the locking block in the sliding groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the sliding groove opening towards the crossbeam provides operating space for the installation of the locking block and the insertion of fasteners, simplifying the assembly process of the crossbeam and the connector. The locking block can slide in the sliding groove, flexibly adapting to the actual positional deviation of the first mounting hole of the crossbeam. At the same time, after the fastener passes through the first mounting hole of the crossbeam, it connects with the locking block in the sliding groove. The sliding groove can limit the locking block, preventing the locking block from shifting and causing connection failure, ensuring the stability of the crossbeam and the connector's fit and fixation, and further enhancing the reliability of the overall connection structure.

[0009] Furthermore, there are multiple sliding grooves, and each sliding groove corresponds to at least two of the first mounting holes.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sliding grooves disperse the connection points between the crossbeam and the connector to different areas, avoiding stress concentration in a single sliding groove. At the same time, each sliding groove is equipped with at least two first mounting holes, so that the locking force in a single groove is transmitted to the crossbeam through multiple points, reducing the risk of deformation or cracking of the crossbeam due to excessive stress at a single point. This improves the assembly error tolerance and efficiency. Even if there is a slight deviation in the initial alignment of the crossbeam and the connector during assembly, the locking block in the sliding groove can be matched with the appropriate first mounting hole, eliminating the need to re-drill holes or adjust the position of components, greatly reducing the assembly rework rate and speeding up the assembly progress.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner sidewall of the crossbeam is provided with a second mounting hole, and the second mounting hole and the first mounting hole are coaxially arranged. The number of the second mounting holes corresponds one-to-one with the number of the first mounting holes. The diameter of the first mounting hole is smaller than the diameter of the second mounting hole, and a hole plug is installed on the second mounting hole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the second mounting hole is coaxial with the first mounting hole and their number corresponds one-to-one. This allows for precise adaptation to the fastener's insertion path, ensuring that the fastener enters from the first mounting hole on the outer wall of the crossbeam. The plug installed on the second mounting hole can completely cover the inner opening, preventing the internal structure of the crossbeam from being exposed and affecting the overall aesthetics of the pavilion. It also prevents outdoor dust, rainwater, and other impurities from entering the hole, preventing the fastener from loosening due to corrosion. This further ensures the long-term reliability of the connection between the crossbeam and the connector, extending the service life of the structure. Furthermore, both ends of the locking block have guide ramps.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding flexibility of the locking block is improved and the assembly resistance is reduced. When the locking block is installed into the sliding groove or mounting groove, the guide slopes at both ends can effectively prevent the end of the locking block from rigidly jamming or scraping against the inner wall of the sliding groove or mounting groove, guiding the locking block to slide smoothly into the sliding groove or mounting groove, reducing the operating resistance during assembly, and quickly completing accurate positioning without repeated adjustments, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0014] Furthermore, a cap is disposed at the top of the mounting portion.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the plug can directly seal the opening at the top of the installation part, effectively isolating rainwater, dust, fallen leaves and other impurities in the outdoor environment, preventing impurities from entering and accumulating inside the installation part, preventing them from corroding core components such as connectors, locking blocks and fasteners, reducing problems such as component corrosion and jamming, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the internal connection structure, and extending the overall service life.

[0016] Furthermore, the connector is a one-piece molded structure.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the one-piece molded connectors do not need to be assembled with outer side plates, inner side plates and sliding grooves through splicing, welding or other methods, which completely eliminates weak points such as splicing seams and weld points that are prone to breakage under stress, and the overall structural integrity is stronger.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Through the parallel spacing structure of the outer and inner side plates of the connector, two vertically arranged crossbeams form a full-area surface contact between their outer surfaces and the inner side plate of the connector. When the crossbeams are subjected to pre-tightening external force, the external force will be evenly transmitted to the inner side plate through the contact surface between the outer side of the crossbeam and the inner side plate, avoiding the problem of force concentration at the locking hole position in traditional bolt connections. As the core force-bearing component of the connector, the inner side plate will further transmit the received planar dispersed force to the entire connector, and the dispersed force will be transmitted to the outer side plate of the connector. The outer side plate also has a large-area surface contact with the inner wall of the column mounting part. The outer side plate will transmit the force to the side wall of the mounting part through the contact surface, so that the force is evenly diffused along the circumference and axial direction of the mounting part, solving the problem of local stress overload caused by the single-point transmission of traditional bolts. This effectively avoids plastic deformation or cracking of light steel on the outer side of the crossbeam and the inner wall of the column mounting part due to stress concentration, ensuring the mechanical stability and integrity of the connection structure. 2. The L-shaped notch in the column mounting section provides precise assembly guidance for the two vertical beams. After the beams extend into the notch, they can directly fit against the inner side plate of the connector. At the same time, the connector is embedded in the mounting section, and the outer side plate fits against the inner wall of the mounting section. The connector is doubly and reliably fixed to the column and beams through the locking assembly. Combined with the limiting effect of the L-shaped notch, the column, connector, and beams form a rigid connection, which significantly improves the durability of the pavilion's connection structure and reduces later maintenance costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a connecting structure 100 for a gazebo, mainly used to connect the gazebo's uprights 10 and crossbeams 20. This connecting structure mainly includes uprights 10, connectors 30, crossbeams 20, and locking components 40.

[0027] The column 10 includes a body 101 and a mounting part 102. The body 101 is hollow, and the mounting part 102 is integrally connected to the upper end of the body 101. An L-shaped notch 121 is provided on the mounting part 102. A connector 30 is embedded in the mounting part 102. The connector 30 includes an outer side plate 301 and an inner side plate 302 that is parallel to and spaced apart from the outer side plate 301. The outer side plate 301 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting part 102 and is fixedly connected by a locking assembly 40. Two crossbeams 20 are provided. The two crossbeams 20 are arranged vertically and extend into the L-shaped notch 121 of the mounting part 102. The outer surfaces of the two crossbeams 20 are attached to the inner side plate 302 and are connected to the connector 30 by the locking assembly 40.

[0028] The locking assembly 40 includes a locking block 401 and a fastener 402. The locking block 401 is preferably made of a high-strength metal material and has multiple connecting holes 411. Each connecting hole 411 is a threaded hole with a precision internal thread machined on its inner wall. The fastener 402 is preferably a hexagon socket head cap screw, one end of which has an external thread that mates with the internal thread of the connecting hole 411, allowing for locking and fixing through the threaded engagement.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 Specifically, the connector 30 is the core connecting component, which is integrally formed from metal by casting or machining to ensure the overall structural strength. The connector 30 includes an outer side plate 301 and an inner side plate 302 that is parallel to and spaced apart from the outer side plate 301. An installation groove 303 and a sliding groove 304 are provided between the outer side plate 301 and the inner side plate 302. The sliding groove 304 is located on the outside of the installation groove 303. The shape and size of the connector 30 are adapted to the L-shaped notch 121 of the mounting part 102 and can be completely fitted into the notch.

[0030] The side wall of the mounting part 102 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 122, and the outer side plate 301 of the connector 30 is provided with through holes 305 corresponding one-to-one with the number of mounting holes 122; the sliding groove 304 forms an opening 341 on the side facing the crossbeam 20, and the locking block 401 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 304; the outer side wall of the crossbeam 20 is provided with one or more first mounting holes 201, and the inner side wall is provided with a second mounting hole 202 coaxial with the first mounting hole 201, and the diameter of the second mounting hole 202 is larger than the diameter of the first mounting hole 201, which is used to assist in guiding the fastener 402 to align with the first mounting hole 201 and the connecting hole 411 of the locking block 401.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, during installation, the connector 30 is fixed to the column 10 as follows: the connector 30 is embedded in the mounting part 102 of the column 10, so that the outer side plate 301 fits against the inner wall of the mounting part 102; the locking block 401 is pre-placed into the mounting groove 303, and the position is adjusted so that the axes of the mounting hole 122 of the mounting part 102, the through hole 305 of the connector 30, and the connecting hole 411 of the locking block 401 are aligned; the fastener 402 is inserted from the outside of the column 10 into the mounting hole 122 and the through hole 305 in sequence, and the front end is screwed into the connecting hole 411. When the fastener 402 is tightened, the locking block 401 fits tightly against the inner wall of the mounting groove 303 under the pull of the thread, thereby fixing the connector 30 to the column 10.

[0032] Fixing the crossbeam 20 and the connector 30: First, assemble the locking block 401 with the crossbeam 20. Then, pass the fastener 402 outward from the inside of the crossbeam 20, through the second mounting hole 202 and the first mounting hole 201 in sequence, and screw the front end into the connecting hole 411 of the locking block 401 for initial connection to form a pre-assembled component. Then, extend the end of the crossbeam 20 horizontally into the L-shaped notch 121 of the mounting part 102 so that the outer side of the crossbeam 20 is in contact with the inner side plate 302 of the connector 30. At the same time, slide the locking block 401 into the sliding groove 304 through the opening 341. Move the locking block 401 along the sliding groove 304 to the preset position and tighten the fastener 402. Under the pull of the thread, the locking block 401 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the sliding groove 304, clamping the end of the crossbeam 20 onto the inner side plate 302 of the connector 30, thus completing the fixation.

[0033] Preferably, each crossbeam 20 corresponds to multiple sliding grooves 304, and each sliding groove 304 is equipped with at least two first mounting holes 201 and second mounting holes 202 to achieve balanced force distribution.

[0034] After installation, a plastic or wooden plug 50 is inserted into the second mounting hole 202. Since the second mounting hole 202 is located inside the pavilion, inserting the plug 50 perfectly conceals all connection points, achieving a seamless visual effect and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the pavilion. Furthermore, guide ramps can be provided at both ends of the locking block 401. These guide ramps make it easier to insert the locking block 401 into the sliding groove 304 or mounting groove 303.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 As shown, finally, a cap 60 is provided at the top of the mounting part 102 of the column 10 to fasten it to the top, preventing rainwater and dust from entering, while further beautifying the overall structure.
