Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scaffolding technology, specifically a scaffolding connector. Background Technology
[0002] Disc-lock scaffolding, also known as "socket-type disc-lock steel pipe scaffolding," is a type of scaffolding connected by sockets and disc locks. Its core feature is that connecting discs are welded to the uprights, and locking joints are welded to both ends of the horizontal and diagonal members. By inserting the locking joints into the connecting discs and tightening them with wedge-shaped pins, a stable, geometrically invariant system is formed.
[0003] In existing disc-lock scaffolding, the disc lock heads on the horizontal bars are welded to the horizontal bars. When the disc lock heads are damaged, cutting the horizontal bars to replace them will shorten the horizontal bars, which does not meet the construction requirements. Therefore, most of the time, the horizontal bars and disc lock heads are scrapped as a whole, resulting in a waste of resources. Based on this, a scaffolding connector is provided. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a scaffolding connector in order to solve the problems mentioned above.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a scaffolding connector, including a horizontal bar, with nut seats welded and fixed to the inner sides of both ends of the horizontal bar, and a locking assembly connected to the horizontal bar through the nut seats, the locking assembly including a concave locking seat, a locking pin, a convex slot, and a connecting bolt; The locking pin is vertically and movably installed on the inner side of the two horizontal parts at the front end of the concave lock head seat. The convex hole groove is opened in the middle of the rear circular seat part of the concave lock head seat and completely penetrates the front and rear ends of the rear circular seat part of the concave lock head seat. The concave lock head seat's round base is fitted to the crossbar and the end face of the nut seat. The connecting bolt passes through the convex hole and slot and is threadedly tightened to the nut seat, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the concave lock head seat and the crossbar.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model: the lock head assembly also includes a reinforcing sleeve, an annular groove, and a sealing ring; The reinforcing sleeve is fixed to the rear end of the concave lock head seat and is sleeved on the outside of the crossbar.

[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] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a scaffolding connector includes a horizontal bar 1, with nut seats 2 welded and fixed to the inner sides of both ends of the horizontal bar 1. The horizontal bar 1 is connected to a locking assembly 4 through the nut seats 2. The locking assembly 4 includes a concave locking seat 401, a locking pin 402, a convex slot 406, and a connecting bolt 408. The locking pin 402 is vertically and movably installed on the inner side of the two horizontal parts at the front end of the concave lock head seat 401. The convex hole groove 406 is opened in the middle of the rear circular seat part of the concave lock head seat 401 and completely penetrates the front and rear ends of the rear circular seat part of the concave lock head seat 401. The concave lock head seat 401 has a round seat portion that fits against the end face of the crossbar 1 and the nut seat 2. The connecting bolt 408 passes through the convex hole groove 406 and is threadedly connected to the nut seat 2 to achieve a detachable connection between the concave lock head seat 401 and the crossbar 1. Lock assembly 4 also includes a reinforcing sleeve 403, an annular groove 404, and a sealing ring 405; The reinforcing sleeve 403 is fixed to the rear end of the circular seat of the concave lock head seat 401, and the reinforcing sleeve 403 is sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 1. The annular groove 404 is integrally formed on the inner side of the rear end of the reinforcing sleeve 403. The sealing ring 405 is installed on the inner side of the reinforcing sleeve 403. The sealing ring 405 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the crossbar 1 to achieve the sealing operation between the reinforcing sleeve 403 and the crossbar 1.
[0015] In this embodiment: when the lock assembly 4 is connected to the crossbar 1, its operation method is as follows: First, the sealing ring 405 is installed inside the annular groove 404. Then, the reinforcing sleeve 403 is aligned with the end of the crossbar 1 and inserted. Finally, the reinforcing sleeve 403 and the sealing ring 405 are fitted onto the outside of the crossbar 1, and the sealing ring 405 is tightly fitted with the crossbar 1 to ensure the seal between the reinforcing sleeve 403 and the crossbar 1. At the same time, the concave lock head seat 401 is fitted with the crossbar 1. Next, take the connecting bolt 408, pass it through the convex hole groove 406, and thread it to the nut seat 2 to complete the fixing of the lock head assembly 4 to the crossbar 1. (It should be noted that when installing the connecting bolt 408, the retaining pin 402 needs to be moved upward so that it does not block the installation path of the connecting bolt 408. The movable structure of the retaining pin 402 is the conventional structure of the existing chuck lock head, so it will not be described in detail here.) When the lock assembly 4 is damaged, simply loosen the connecting bolt 408, remove the damaged lock assembly 4, and replace it with a new lock assembly 4. The overall operation is simple and convenient, and will not damage the crossbar 1, allowing the crossbar 1 to continue to be used.
[0016] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 2-5The nut seat 2 has multiple positioning slots 3 at one end, and the multiple positioning slots 3 are evenly distributed in a ring around the screw hole of the nut seat 2. The concave lock head seat 401 has multiple positioning blocks 407 at the rear end of the round seat portion, which correspond to the positioning slots 3. The positioning blocks 407 are engaged with the inner side of the positioning slots 3 to achieve rotational limitation between the concave lock head seat 401 and the crossbar 1. The polygonal nut of the connecting bolt 408 is housed inside the large hole of the convex groove 406. A sealing block 409 is also installed inside the large hole of the convex groove 406. The sealing block 409 is used to seal the port of the large hole of the convex groove 406.
[0017] In this embodiment: the positioning block 407 is inserted into the inner side of the positioning slot 3, so that the concave lock head seat 401 and the cross bar 1 cannot rotate. At the same time, the connection strength between the concave lock head seat 401 and the cross bar 1 is further improved. By sealing the large hole opening of the convex groove 406 with the sealing block 409, the corrosion of the connecting bolt 408 by rainwater can be prevented.
[0018] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-5 The concave lock head seat 401, the reinforcing sleeve 403, the annular groove 404, the convex hole groove 406, and the positioning block 407 are integrally formed by casting process.
[0019] In this embodiment, the main structure of the lock assembly 4 is manufactured using the same process as the existing chuck lock assembly on the market, and its production cost is controllable, making it easy to promote and use.
