[0002] Fence panels, distinguished by various patterns, textures, or perforations on their surface, are assembled by interlocking them to form fences or walls. They combine functionality, security, and decorative appeal. Among these, plastic fence panels are widely used due to their extremely light weight, ease of installation, rust and corrosion resistance, and diverse color options.
[0003] Chinese patent 201920259496.2 discloses an integrated ultra-thin wall panel belonging to the decorative materials category. It consists of an upper panel body, partition panels, and a lower panel body. The cavity formed by the combination of the upper and lower panel bodies contains several partition panels. These panels have an "X" structure, with a solid central section and hollow upper and lower sections. The upper and lower ends of each partition panel are firmly connected to the upper and lower panel bodies, respectively. The advantages of this utility model are as follows: simple structure, light weight, fire resistance, termite resistance, easy installation, low cost, safe use, excellent decorative effect, stable durability, good flatness, minimal expansion, and high market appeal.
[0004] When installing fence panels, they must be attached to components such as brackets using fasteners like bolts. With conventional fence panels, determining the precise positioning of the fastening holes is difficult. Furthermore, drilling through the solid, thick panel material presents a challenge, as controlling the hole depth is difficult and chip removal is hindered. Contents of the invention
[0005] One objective of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technology by providing a fence panel structure. This structure incorporates a fastener positioning mechanism comprising a positioning groove recessed into the top surface and a primary hollow chamber aligned directly beneath it. This facilitates rapid fastener alignment and enables simpler drilling control with consistent and aesthetically pleasing results. It thus resolves technical problems associated with conventional fence panels, such as the difficulty of confirming fastener drilling positions, as well as challenges in drilling control and execution.
[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the present utility model offers the following technical solution: A fence panel structure comprising: a panel body; wherein the top of the panel body has a recessed positioning groove along its longitudinal direction; wherein a first hollow chamber is formed within the panel body along its longitudinal direction; wherein the first hollow chamber is located directly below the positioning groove; wherein the positioning groove and the first hollow chamber form a positioning installation structure for fasteners.
[0007] As an improvement, the panel body is equipped with at least two sets of positioning installation structures.
[0008] As an improvement, the fastener comprises a head and an associated main body, the main body extending downwards from the positioning groove through the first hollow chamber and the plate body to fasten the fence panel to an external structure, with the head supported and engaged in the positioning groove.
[0009] The positioning groove is now curved, which is an improvement.
[0010] As an improvement, the cross-section of the first hollow chamber is square.
[0011] As an improvement, the first hollow chamber is formed through the plate body.
[0012] As an improvement, a second hollow chamber is formed within the plate body along its longitudinal direction, with the second hollow chamber being arranged parallel to the first hollow chamber.
[0013] As an improvement, the second hollow chamber has a square cross-section and extends through the plate body.
[0014] As an improvement, the top and / or bottom of the plate body is provided with distributed relief textures.
[0015] As an improvement, the relief texture is a wood imitation pattern.
[0016] As an improvement, the relief texture is shaped as a line.
[0017] The advantageous effects of the present utility model lie in: (1) By integrating a positioning groove recessed into the top surface of the fence panel body and a first recess formed as a hollow chamber directly below it, the present utility model provides a positioning installation structure for fasteners. This facilitates the rapid positioning of the fasteners to confirm the drilling positions, thus eliminating the need for pre-drilling. Drilling operations are simplified, depth control is improved, chip removal is smooth, and drilling consistency and aesthetic quality are enhanced. (2) The invention comprises a cavity structure formed by a through-opening in the panel body to distribute the load. This increases the overall strength of the panel and makes it less susceptible to deformation. The preferred square cavity shape offers greater load-bearing capacity and significantly increases the strength of the panel. In addition, this design saves panel material while also providing advantages in terms of thermal and acoustic insulation. (3) The present utility model comprises relief textures that simulate wood imitation patterns on the top and bottom surfaces and achieve an excellent wood-like effect. The overall appearance is aesthetically pleasing, simple and fashionable, and corresponds to contemporary design tastes.
