Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of leisure products technology, and more specifically, to a column and beam connecting assembly and a louvered awning. Background Technology

[0002] In building construction, outdoor facilities (such as louvered awnings), and frame structure assembly, the stability of the connection between columns and beams directly affects the safety and service life of the overall structure. Currently, common column-beam connection methods include welding, direct bolt fastening, and simple snap-fit ​​connections. While welding offers high connection strength, it suffers from drawbacks such as non-removability, inconvenient maintenance, high skill requirements during installation, and low efficiency, failing to meet the needs of rapid assembly and subsequent adjustments. Direct bolt fastening requires precise pre-drilling in both columns and beams, making positioning difficult. Beams are prone to shifting during installation, resulting in low assembly accuracy, and bolts tend to loosen over time, affecting connection stability. Simple snap-fit ​​connections generally suffer from insufficient clamping force and poor positioning accuracy, making beam displacement and detachment susceptible to external forces, hindering long-term reliable structural use. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a column-beam connection component that offers precise positioning, convenient installation, and stable connection to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, in order to solve the problem of cumbersome installation in traditional structures, this utility model provides a column-beam connection component and a louvered awning, the specific technical solution of which is as follows: A column-beam connection assembly and a louvered awning include a connector, a beam structure, and a vertical beam. The vertical beam has a first mounting groove, and the beam structure is inserted into the first mounting groove. The vertical beam has a positioning post and a positioning groove, the positioning groove is connected to the positioning post, one end of the connector is inserted into the positioning groove, and the connector cooperates with the vertical beam to clamp the beam structure. Thus, by setting a first mounting groove on the vertical beam, the crossbeam structure can be directly inserted into the first mounting groove, which can quickly achieve the pre-positioning of the crossbeam structure and the vertical beam, effectively avoiding the crossbeam structure from shifting during installation, greatly reducing the positioning difficulty and improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, the positioning post on the vertical beam cooperates with the positioning groove, which not only provides a stable installation benchmark for the connector, but also further improves the positioning accuracy of the overall structure. One end of the connector is inserted into the positioning groove, which cooperates with the vertical beam to form a clamping effect on the crossbeam structure. Compared with traditional bolt fastening, snap-fit ​​connection and other methods, this clamping structure can form a comprehensive limiting and fixing of the crossbeam structure, effectively preventing the crossbeam structure from loosening, shifting or even falling off during use, significantly improving connection stability and structural safety, and extending the service life of the overall structure.

[0017] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0018] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a column-beam connection assembly and a louvered awning, including a connector 1, a beam structure 2, and a vertical beam 3; the vertical beam 3 is provided with a first mounting groove 4, and the beam structure 2 is inserted into the first mounting groove 4; the vertical beam 3 is provided with a positioning post 5 and a positioning groove 6, the positioning groove 6 is connected to the positioning post 5, one end of the connector 1 is inserted into the positioning groove 6, and the connector 1 cooperates with the vertical beam 3 to clamp the beam structure 2. Thus, by setting the first mounting groove 4 on the vertical beam 3, the horizontal beam structure 2 can be directly inserted into the first mounting groove 4, which can quickly achieve the pre-positioning of the horizontal beam structure 2 and the vertical beam 3, effectively avoiding the displacement of the horizontal beam structure 2 during installation, greatly reducing the positioning difficulty and improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, the positioning post 5 on the vertical beam 3 cooperates with the positioning groove 6, which not only provides a stable installation benchmark for the connector 1, but also further improves the positioning accuracy of the overall structure. One end of the connector 1 is inserted into the positioning groove 6, which cooperates with the vertical beam 3 to form a clamping effect on the horizontal beam structure 2. Compared with traditional bolt fastening, snap-fit ​​connection and other methods, this clamping structure can form an all-round limiting and fixing of the horizontal beam structure 2, effectively preventing the horizontal beam structure 2 from loosening, shifting or even falling off during use, significantly improving the connection stability and structural safety, and extending the service life of the overall structure.

[0019] like Figures 5-6 As shown, in one embodiment, the connector 1 includes a cover 11, a blocking block 12, and a first locking member 13. The cover 11 has a first flange 7 and a second flange 8. The blocking block 12 has a first clamping surface and a second clamping surface. The first locking member 13 passes through the cover 11 and is threadedly connected to the blocking block 12. Both the first flange 7 and the second flange 8 are arranged towards the blocking block 12. Thus, by having both the first flange 7 and the second flange 8 arranged towards the blocking block 12, a "guide clamping channel" is formed, which can pre-guide the beam structure 2 during assembly, preventing the beam structure 2 from shifting during clamping, and further improving the positioning accuracy of the connector 1 and the beam structure 2. like Figures 5-6 As shown, in one embodiment, the first flange 7 is arranged parallel to the first clamping surface, and the second flange 8 is arranged parallel to the second clamping surface. Thus, the parallel flanges and clamping surfaces can form a "surface contact" clamping with the beam structure 2. Compared to traditional "point contact" or "line contact" clamping, the contact area is larger, the clamping force on the beam structure 2 is evenly distributed, avoiding local stress concentration that could lead to deformation of the beam structure 2 or loosening of the clamping, and significantly improving clamping stability.

[0020] like Figures 5-6As shown, in one embodiment, the shielding block 12 is further provided with an insertion block 31; the insertion block 31 is inserted into the positioning groove 6. Thus, the insertion block 31 and the positioning groove 6 form an "insertion fit," providing a precise installation reference for the shielding block 12, preventing horizontal and vertical displacement of the connector 1 during assembly or use, solving the problem of traditional connector 1 being "positioned only at one end, with large installation deviations," and further improving the assembly accuracy of the overall structure. The insertion block 31, inserted into the positioning groove 6, forms an "embedded" fixation, increasing the contact area and connection strength between the connector 1 and the vertical beam 3, allowing the connector 1 to better withstand the horizontal and vertical forces transmitted by the beam structure 2, and making it less prone to loosening or deformation under external forces such as wind and vibration, thus improving the overall structure's resistance to external forces. The insertion block 31 can quickly calibrate the installation position of the connector 1; even if there is a slight deviation during assembly, it can be automatically adjusted through the cooperation of the insertion block 31 and the positioning groove 6, reducing the skill requirements for operators and improving assembly efficiency.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the beam structure 2 includes a first beam 21, a column beam connector 22, a second locking member 23, and a mounting nut 24; the column beam connector 22 is inserted into the first mounting groove 4, the column beam connector 22 is provided with a slot 32, the second locking member 23 is inserted into the slot 32, and the mounting nut 24 passes through the first beam 21 and the column beam connector 22 and is threadedly connected to the mounting nut 24. Thus, by inserting the column-beam connector 22 into the first mounting groove 4 to form a pre-position with the vertical beam 3, and then by inserting the second locking member 23 into the slot 32 and threading the mounting nut 24 to fix the first beam 21, a "pre-positioning + double fixing" is achieved, which avoids relative displacement between the first beam 21 and the column-beam connector 22, and improves the connection strength and positioning accuracy of the beam structure 2 itself. By loosening the mounting nut 24, the position of the first beam 21 relative to the column-beam connector 22 can be adjusted. The installation height and horizontal position of the beam can be finely adjusted according to actual usage needs to adapt to different assembly scenarios, solving the defect of the traditional beam structure 2 that "cannot be adjusted after installation".

[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, in one embodiment, the first crossbeam is provided with a positioning rib 33, and the first flange 7 cooperates with the first clamping surface to clamp the positioning rib 33 on one first crossbeam; the second flange 8 cooperates with the second clamping surface to clamp the positioning rib 33 on another first crossbeam; the first crossbeam is erected on the vertical beam 3. Thus, by clamping the positioning ribs 33 on the two crossbeams with the first flange 7 and the first clamping surface, and the second flange 8 and the second clamping surface respectively, a "two-way clamping limit" is formed. This not only restricts the horizontal displacement of the crossbeam, but also restricts the vertical movement of the crossbeam, solving the problem that traditional clamping structures "can only restrict displacement in one direction". It is especially suitable for scenarios where multiple crossbeams are installed in parallel. The positioning ribs 33 can enhance the structural strength of the crossbeam itself. At the same time, the clamping force is transmitted to the entire crossbeam through the positioning ribs 33, avoiding excessive local stress on the crossbeam and deformation. In addition, the crossbeam is erected on the vertical beam 3, and the vertical beam 3 can provide vertical support to the crossbeam. This, together with the clamping force of the connector 1, forms a dual force structure of "clamping + support", which greatly improves the load-bearing capacity of the crossbeam and can be adapted to usage scenarios with larger loads.

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment also provides a louvered awning, including a cover plate 34, an inner column 35, a support base 36, and a column-beam connecting assembly as described above. The inner column 35 is inserted into the vertical beam 3, and the support base 36 is provided with a positioning mounting groove 37. The vertical beam 3 is installed in the positioning mounting groove 37, and the support base 36 is connected to both the vertical beam 3 and the inner column 35. Thus, without welding or complex drilling, the assembly of the vertical beam 3 and the horizontal beam, the inner column 35 and the vertical beam 3, and the vertical beam 3 and the support base 36 can be completed through insertion, clamping, and threaded connection, solving the problem of "complex installation process and long installation time" in traditional louvered awnings.

[0024] like Figures 1-3As shown, in one embodiment, the cover plate 34 is disposed on the vertical beam 3, and the cover plate 34 is connected to one of the first crossbeams 21 and another adjacent first crossbeam 21 respectively; the cover plate 34 is provided with a third locking member 38, and the third locking member 38 passes through the cover plate 34 and is threadedly connected to the vertical beam 3. Thus, by covering the top of the vertical beam 3 with the cover plate 34 and connecting it to the adjacent first horizontal beam 21, rainwater, dust and other impurities can be prevented from entering the connection between the vertical beam 3 and the horizontal beam, avoiding rust and corrosion of metal parts such as the connector 1 and locking parts, thus solving the problem of "connection parts being easily corroded by the environment and having a short lifespan" in traditional louvered awnings. The cover plate 34 connects the adjacent first horizontal beam 21 into a whole, so that multiple horizontal beams form "linked support", avoiding individual deformation of a single horizontal beam when subjected to force. At the same time, the cover plate 34 and the vertical beam 3 are fixed by the third locking part 38, forming a rigid connection system of "cover plate 34 - horizontal beam - vertical beam 3", which further improves the overall structural integrity and resistance to external forces (such as wind) of the louvered awning.

[0025] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0026] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
