Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building partition module connection technology, and in particular to a connection structure that can be adapted to various steel and aluminum partition modules. Background Technology

[0002] Steel-aluminum partition modules are widely used for interior partitioning in modern offices, commercial spaces, and other buildings due to their aesthetic appeal, flexible installation, and reusability. During the installation of partition walls, the splicing and fixing between adjacent partition modules is a crucial step, as the performance of the connection structure directly determines the overall flatness, stability, and aesthetics of the partition wall.

[0003] Existing methods for connecting partition modules still have shortcomings in actual installation and use. For example, some connection structures rely solely on simple slots or adhesive strips for fitting. While this method seems convenient for installation, it is difficult to align the modules, especially for heavier or larger glass partition modules. It is difficult for installers to achieve precise vertical and horizontal alignment in one go, which can easily lead to uneven seams or uneven surfaces, affecting the aesthetics.

[0004] More importantly, the aforementioned simple interlocking methods often lack robust mechanical locking capabilities. The connected partition modules only have simple contact or elastic clamping, resulting in insufficient connection rigidity and poor overall structural stability of the partition wall. During use, the partition is prone to swaying when subjected to external forces or slight vibrations of the building, and the joints tend to loosen and widen over time, posing safety hazards and reducing sound insulation and airtightness.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a type of steel and aluminum partition module that can be adapted to various applications to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a connection structure that can be adapted to various steel and aluminum partition modules, aiming to improve the problems existing in the prior art, such as difficulty in alignment during installation, insufficient connection rigidity, easy shaking after splicing, and easy loosening and enlargement of gaps after long-term use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a connection structure adaptable to various steel and aluminum partition modules, including a first glass partition, and a connection component for connecting the first glass partition, the connection component including a U-shaped connector having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first sidewall being used to fit the end of the first glass partition to be connected; and a fixing component for fixing the first glass partition to the first sidewall of the U-shaped connector. The U-shaped connector has a guide flange on the inner wall of the first side wall, and the end of the first glass partition to be connected has a corresponding guide groove. The guide flange and the guide groove are inserted into each other. Furthermore, both the first glass partition and the first sidewall of the U-shaped connector have through holes aligned with each other; the fixing component includes a fixing ring and a threaded pin. The fixing ring is externally fitted onto the contact portion of the first glass partition and the first sidewall of the U-shaped connector, and the inner wall of the fixing ring has an internal thread aligned with the through hole; the threaded pin passes through the through hole of the first glass partition and the through hole of the U-shaped connector in sequence, and then is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the fixing ring. Preferably, it also includes a second glass partition, the end of which to be connected is also provided with a guide groove for interlocking with the guide flange on the inner wall of the second side wall of the U-shaped connector; Preferably, it also includes a side positioning component, the side positioning component including an elastic positioning strip, the elastic positioning strip spanning and elastically fitting the seam of the outer side wall of the first glass partition and the second glass partition; Preferably, the elastic positioning strip is made of a flexible polymer material; Preferably, the fixing component further includes an end cap, which is fixed to the exposed end of the threaded pin away from the fixing ring by a snap-fit ​​connection; Preferably, the fixing ring is a C-shaped open ring structure, and the opening of the C-shaped open ring structure is used to fit into the fitting part of the first glass partition and the first side wall of the U-shaped connector; Preferably, the guide flange is a strip-shaped protrusion extending along the height direction of the U-shaped connector; Preferably, the head of the threaded pin is integrally formed with a tool mating portion for applying torque.

[0008] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model solves the problems of difficult alignment, low installation efficiency, and unstable and shaky structure after connection in the prior art by setting a guide flange on the inner wall of the U-shaped connector and opening a corresponding guide groove on the end face of the glass partition, and then using a threaded pin to pass through the partition and the connector and lock it with the external fixing ring. It achieves the effects of fast and accurate alignment, convenient installation, strong connection rigidity, and stable and reliable structure.

[0009] 2. This utility model solves the problem of lateral loosening or increased splicing gaps in existing connection structures due to environmental vibrations during long-term use by adding an elastic positioning strip to the outer wall joint after the splicing of two glass partitions. The strip utilizes the continuous clamping force generated by its elastic deformation to enhance the overall lateral stability, prevent loosening of the connection, and maintain a tight and aesthetically pleasing joint.

[0010] 3. This utility model uses a U-shaped connector as a connecting bridge, combined with a fixing component for rigid locking and a side positioning component for lateral auxiliary positioning. The connection process is broken down into clear steps of alignment, locking, splicing, and reinforcement. This solves the problem that traditional connectors have a single function and are difficult to balance installation convenience and connection strength. It achieves the effect of clear overall structure, clear installation logic, and simple and efficient operation. Attached Figure Description

[0013] 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.

[0014] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a connection structure adaptable to various steel and aluminum partition modules, including a first glass partition 1 and a connection component 3 for connecting the first glass partition 1. The connection component 3 includes a U-shaped connector 301, which has a first side wall and a second side wall. The first side wall is used to fit the end of the first glass partition 1 to be connected. To achieve precise docking between the first glass partition 1 and the U-shaped connector 301, a guide flange 303 is provided on the inner wall of the first side wall of the U-shaped connector 301. Correspondingly, a guide groove 302 is provided on the end of the first glass partition 1 to be connected. During installation, the guide flange 303 and the guide groove 302 are in a plug-in fit relationship. Through this convex-concave structure fit, the initial alignment of the first glass partition 1 and the U-shaped connector 301 in the vertical direction is completed. Based on the initial alignment, the connection structure also includes a fixing component 4 for fixing the first glass partition 1 to the first sidewall of the U-shaped connector 301. For installing the fixing component 4, through holes 405 that can be aligned with each other are provided on both the first glass partition 1 and the first sidewall of the U-shaped connector 301. The fixing component 4 specifically includes a fixing ring 401 and a threaded pin 403. The fixing ring 401 is externally fitted onto the contact area between the first glass partition 1 and the first sidewall of the U-shaped connector 301, and fixes... The inner wall of the ring 401 is provided with an internal thread 402. In the installed state, the position of the internal thread 402 is aligned with the aligned through hole 405. The shank of the threaded pin 403 is designed to pass through the through hole 405 of the first glass partition 1 and the through hole 405 of the U-shaped connector 301 in sequence. After passing through, the external thread of the threaded pin 403 is threadedly connected with the internal thread 402 of the fixing ring 401. By tightening the threaded pin 403, the first glass partition 1 and the side wall of the U-shaped connector 301 can be fastened into an integrated rigid structure. It also includes a second glass partition 2. The inner wall of the second side wall of the U-shaped connector 301 is also provided with a guide flange 303. The structure of the guide flange 303 is symmetrically arranged with the guide flange 303 on the first side wall. In order to cooperate with it, the end of the second glass partition 2 to be connected is also provided with a guide groove 302 with a matching shape and size. In the assembled state, the guide groove 302 of the second glass partition 2 and the guide flange 303 on the second side wall of the U-shaped connector 301 are inserted into each other. Since the U-shaped connector 301 has formed a rigid connection with the first glass partition 1 through the fixing component 4, the U-shaped connector 301 at this time acts as a stable intermediate support structure, which can effectively limit the relative displacement and shaking of the first glass partition 1 and the second glass partition 2 after splicing. It also includes a side positioning component 5, which is specifically an elastic positioning strip 501. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 After the first glass partition 1 and the second glass partition 2 are joined in place, the elastic positioning strip 501 is bridging and elastically fitted to the seam of the outer side wall of the first glass partition 1 and the second glass partition 2. The elastic positioning strip 501 is preferably made of a flexible polymer material, which generates a continuous lateral pressing force by means of the elastic deformation of the material itself, tightly pressing the two partitions together from the outside, avoiding the problem of increased splicing gap due to long-term use or environmental vibration. The end cap 404 is fixed to the exposed end of the threaded pin 403 away from the fixing ring 401 by a snap-fit ​​connection, covering the end of the threaded pin 403. The fixing ring 401 has a C-shaped open ring structure. The opening of the structure is used to directly insert the first glass partition 1 into the fitting part of the first side wall of the U-shaped connector 301 from the side, and then the threaded pin 403 is inserted and locked. The specific shape of the guide flange 303 is a strip-shaped protrusion extending along the height direction of the U-shaped connector 301. Correspondingly, the guide groove 302 is also a strip-shaped groove that matches it. In order to facilitate the tightening operation of the threaded pin 403 using a standard tool, the head of the threaded pin 403 is integrally formed with a tool mating part for applying torque. The tool mating part can be an internal hexagonal hole or a cross slot structure. The elastic positioning strip 501 is made of a flexible polymer material, such as EPDM rubber or silicone rubber.

[0015] Working principle: During installation, the U-shaped connector 301 of the connecting component 3 is first used as the docking base. By embedding the guide flange 303 on the inner wall of the first side of the U-shaped connector 301 into the guide groove 302 of the end to be connected of the first glass partition 1, the first glass partition 1 and the U-shaped connector 301 are precisely aligned in the vertical direction, ensuring that the through holes 405 at corresponding positions are completely aligned. Then, the fixing ring 401 of the fixing component 4 is externally fitted onto the contact area between the first glass partition 1 and the U-shaped connector 301, so that the fixing is complete. The internal thread 402 of the fixed ring 401 is coaxial with the aligned through hole 405. The threaded pin 403 is passed through the through hole 405 of the first glass partition 1 and the through hole 405 of the U-shaped connector 301 in sequence. The threaded pin 403 is rotated so that its external thread engages with the internal thread 402 of the fixed ring 401 and locks it in place. This firmly fixes the first glass partition 1 and the U-shaped connector 301 into one unit, providing a stable base for subsequent splicing. Finally, the end cap 404 is fastened to the exposed end of the threaded pin 403 to complete the protection of the threaded connection. After the first glass partition 1 is locked to the U-shaped connector 301, the guide groove 302 of the second glass partition 2 is aligned and embedded into the guide flange 303 of the second side wall of the U-shaped connector 301. Since the U-shaped connector 301 has become part of the rigid connector, it provides stable support for the second glass partition 2 and restricts the relative swaying of the first glass partition 1 and the second glass partition 2. After the two partitions are spliced ​​in place, the elastic positioning strip 501 of the side positioning component 5 is straddled and elastically attached to the splice seam of the outer side wall of the first glass partition 1 and the second glass partition 2. The elastic positioning strip 501 relies on the lateral clamping force generated by its own elastic deformation to further restrict the lateral displacement of the two partitions from the outside.
