Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a deck installation structure, and more particularly to a deck installation structure using a deck installation clip member, which has a first elastic plate and a second elastic plate, on which an elastic force acting to expand in both directions of the clip member, formed with an attachment / detachment guide protrusion and a center wing that are attached and detached to the deck, respectively, thereby realizing elastic support by the clip member when assembling the deck, preventing the deck from coming off, and facilitating assembly and disassembly. [Background technology]

[0002] Recently, synthetic wood decks, which have various advantages, have been used to construct terraces in rural houses and pensions, mountain trails and walking paths along roads in parks, and the like.

[0003] As a related prior art, a "deck fixing clip" was proposed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1810954.

[0004] Figure 1 is an oblique view showing a conventional deck fixing clip, Figure 2 is an oblique view showing the state in which a deck is installed on a base frame using a conventional deck fixing clip, and Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main parts showing the state in which a deck is installed between conventional deck fixing clips.

[0005] The deck fixing clip 1 according to the above-mentioned prior art is made of a steel plate having a predetermined length and thickness, and has a bottom portion 10, a first vertical portion 20, a second vertical portion 30, a locking protrusion portion 40, and an elastic pressing portion 50 integrally formed therein.

[0006] The bottom 10 has a predetermined width in the left-right direction, and has a screw connection hole 12 formed in the center of the surface so as to penetrate therethrough, and is mounted and fixed on the base frame 2 by a screw.

[0007] The first vertical portion 20 is bent vertically on one side of the bottom portion 10, the second vertical portion 30 is bent vertically on the other side of the bottom portion 10 to correspond to the first vertical portion 20, the locking protrusion 40 is bent on the upper part of the second vertical portion 30 to protrude outward, and the elastic pressing portion 50 is bent on the upper part of the locking protrusion 40 to be parallel to the bottom portion 10.

[0008] The elastic pressing portion 50 serves to lock the other side of the deck 3 corresponding to the locking protrusion 40 when the deck 3 is installed on the base frame 2 arranged horizontally so as to be connected and separated vertically.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic pressing portion 50 has a hemispherical accommodation groove 52 formed at its end, which forms a concentric circle with the screw coupling hole 12, and when fixing the deck fixing clip 1 to the base frame 2, a screwdriver can be placed in a vertical position in the accommodation groove 52 and then the screw can be fastened through the screw coupling hole 12.

[0010] 2, when the deck fixing clips 1 configured as described above are installed on the base frame 2 so that the deck 3 can be attached and detached, they are placed at a predetermined interval in the grooves 2A formed in the upper part of the base frame 2, and then fixedly attached to the base frame 10 via a fastening means such as a known screw inserted into the screw attachment hole 12 in the horizontal surface 10A forming the bottom 10. The deck 3 can then be attached between the deck fixing clips 1 and fixed onto the base frame 2.

[0011] 3, the deck 3 is initially placed by an operator with the elastic pressing portion 50 of the deck fixing clip 1 inserted into and locked in the first locking groove 3A, and the first vertical portion 30 is tightly attached to the locking groove 3B. Then, the deck 3 is placed by an operator with the locking protrusion 40 of the deck fixing clip 1 placed on the other side locked in the second locking groove 3C, so that the deck 3 can be installed between the deck fixing clips 1. At this time, the second vertical portion 30 is elastically deformed toward the first vertical portion 20 within the assembly gap S due to an external force applied by the operator when the deck 3 is assembled, and then restored to its original shape.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 6, the deck fixing clip 1 firmly fixes the deck 3, which is installed to be seated on the base frame 2, by the pressing structure of the elastic pressing portion 50 having a predetermined elastic force and the locking structure of the locking protrusion 40, thereby preventing the deck 3 from being arbitrarily separated upward from between the deck fixing clips 1.

[0013] On the other hand, if the deck 3 is broken or damaged and needs to be replaced, a tool is inserted into the assembly gap S formed between the decks 3 in the state shown in Figure 6, and then the other side of the deck 3 is lifted upward in the reverse order of assembly. The deck fixing clip 1 arranged on the other side of the deck 3 is elastically deformed by the external force applied by the worker when the deck 3 is separated.

[0014] That is, the locking protrusion 40 of the deck fixing clip 1 arranged on the other side of the deck 3 is elastically deformed in the direction of the first vertical portion 20 so as to be released from the locking in the second locking groove 3C.

[0015] Thereafter, when the deck 3 is lifted completely upward, the elastic pressing portion 50 of the deck fixing clip 1 arranged on one side of the deck 3 is released from the first locking groove 3A and the deck 3 can be easily separated from the deck fixing clip 1.

[0016] The above-mentioned assembly gap S is formed between the decks 3. This is because the assembly gap S ensures a space that allows elastic deformation of the deck fixing clip 1 when the deck 3 is connected to and disconnected from the deck fixing clip 1.

[0017] That is, when the deck fixing clips 1 are connected to and separated from the deck 3, they are smoothly elastically deformed by the assembly gap S, so that they can be easily connected to and separated from each other.

[0018] The above-mentioned conventional technology has a structural problem in that the elastic pressing portion 50 is integrally formed in the lateral direction in which the locking protrusion 40 is elastically deformed during installation and removal, and is linked to the locking protrusion 40, thereby limiting the elastic deformation of the locking protrusion 40.

[0019] In other words, when the locking protrusion 40 elastically deforms, the elastic pressing portion 50 extending horizontally from the end of the locking protrusion 40 must move horizontally in proportion to the amount of horizontal movement of the locking protrusion 40. However, because the extended end of the elastic pressing portion 50 is inserted and fixed in the first locking groove 3A of the deck 3, the amount of movement in the horizontal or vertical direction is limited, which limits the elastic deformation of the locking protrusion 40.

[0020] As described above, in the conventional technology, the elastic deformation of the locking protrusion 40 is limited, so that a strong external force is inevitably applied to the locking protrusion 40 during installation, which can cause damage to the deck 3 during installation, or can cause deformation of the deck 3 due to residual stress caused by the forced insertion.

[0021] Furthermore, the conventional technology has a difficulty in that the screw connection position of the deck fixing clip 1 must be accurately installed because there is no clearance to accommodate errors that may occur during the installation process. If the position is not accurate, there is a cumbersome problem in that the screw connection position of the deck fixing clip 1 must be corrected each time during the deck 3 assembling process and the work must be repeated.

[0022] Meanwhile, in the prior art, clearance can be secured by widening the spacing between the deck fixing clips 1 when assembling the deck. However, in this case, the deck 3 and the deck fixing clips 1 are not tightly attached and are widened, which creates the problem that the deck fixing clips 1 can easily come off after construction, either while the deck 3 is in use or due to deformation such as natural contraction and expansion.

[0023] Furthermore, in the prior art, due to the structural position of the elastic pressing portion 50, the first locking groove 3A of the deck 3 had to be formed close to the top surface of the deck 3, which meant that the thickness from the top surface of the deck 3 to the first locking groove 3A was thin, which reduced the durability of that portion and caused a problem of structural fragility that made it prone to breakage during use.

[0024] In addition, the conventional technology requires a separate receiving groove 52 to be formed in the elastic pressing portion 50 in order to screw the deck fixing clip 1, which increases the number of molds and processes required for the deck fixing clip 1, resulting in increased manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0025] The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an attachment / detachment guide protrusion and a center wing that attach and detach to the deck on the first and second elastic plates, on which elastic force acting to expand in both directions of the clip member acts, thereby realizing elastic support by the clip member when assembling the deck, preventing the deck from separating, and facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0026] Another object of the present invention is to simplify the clip structure by eliminating the need for a separate receiving groove for screw coupling as in the past, thereby reducing molds and manufacturing processes and reducing production costs.

[0027] Another object of the present invention is to provide a stable structure and prevent damage due to external forces by positioning the alignment position between the clip member and the deck at the midpoint based on the thickness of the deck. [Means for solving the problem]

[0028] According to one aspect of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object, there is provided a deck installation structure including base frames spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval and arranged in parallel in a horizontal direction; clip members fixed at set intervals along the length of the base frames; and a deck arranged vertically on the base frames to be connected to and supported by the fixing clips; A deck installation structure using a clip member may be provided, wherein the clip member includes: a base plate screwed to an upper portion of the base frame; a first elastic plate bent upward from one end of the base plate and extending therefrom to provide an elastic force tending to expand outward; a second elastic plate bent upward from the other end of the base plate and extending therefrom to provide an elastic force tending to expand outward on the opposite side of the first elastic plate; an attachment / detachment guide protrusion bent outward to have a triangular or hemispherical shape on an end of the first elastic plate and engaged with an attachment / detachment guide groove provided on one side of the deck; and a center wing bent laterally on an end of the second elastic plate and inserted into a center groove provided on the other side of the deck.

[0029] The attachment / detachment guide protrusion is bent outward to have a triangular or semi-spherical shape and is coupled to an attachment / detachment guide groove provided on one side of the deck.

[0030] At this time, the coupling position between the attachment / detachment guide protrusion and the attachment / detachment guide groove is located at the midpoint based on the thickness of the deck.

[0031] The center wing of the clip member is first coupled to the center groove of the deck, and then the opposite attachment / detachment guide protrusion is coupled to the attachment / detachment guide groove of the deck.

[0032] At this time, the joining position of the center blade and the center groove is positioned at the midpoint based on the thickness of the deck. [Effects of the Invention]

[0033] As described above, the present invention provides the first and second elastic plates, on which elastic force acting to expand in both directions of the clip member, with attachment / detachment guide protrusions and center wings that detachably attach to the deck. This provides elastic support by the clip member when assembling the deck, preventing the deck from coming off and facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0034] In addition, the present invention simplifies the clip structure by eliminating the need for a separate receiving groove for screw coupling, as in the prior art, thereby reducing molds and manufacturing processes and reducing production costs.

[0035] In addition, the present invention provides a stable structure by positioning the alignment position between the clip member and the deck at the midpoint based on the thickness of the deck, thereby preventing damage due to external forces and extending the service life of the deck.

[0039] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of the patent application is not limited to or constrained by such embodiments. The same reference numerals shown in each drawing indicate the same elements.

[0040] Figure 4 is an oblique view showing a deck installation clip member according to the present invention, Figure 5 is an oblique view showing the state in which a deck is installed on a base frame using a deck installation clip member according to the present invention, Figures 6a to 6c are enlarged cross-sectional views of the main parts showing the state in which a deck is installed between deck installation clip members according to the present invention, and Figure 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing an installation example of a deck installation clip member according to the present invention.

[0041] The deck construction structure according to the present invention as shown in the drawing mainly comprises a base frame 200, a clip member 100, and a deck 300.

[0042] The base frame 200 provides a foundation for constructing the deck 300 and may be made of a metal square pipe or the like. The base frames 200 may be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval and installed in parallel in the horizontal direction.

[0043] That is, the base frames 110 are installed in advance on the bottom where the deck 130 is to be installed, and serve as a horizontal and vertical foundation. The base frames 110 are formed to a predetermined length and are installed horizontally and parallel to each other at a predetermined interval on the bottom where the deck 130 is to be installed, such as on a terrace of a rural house or a pension, or on a mountain trail or walking path along a road in a park.

[0044] The base frame 110 may be made of any one of synthetic resin, wood, and metal pipes so as to ensure a certain level of rigidity for supporting the deck 130.

[0045] Next, the clip member 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0046] A plurality of clip members 100 according to the present invention are fixed at set intervals along the length of the base frame 200 .

[0047] The clip member 100 forms a base plate 110 that is coupled to the top of the base frame 200 using a fastening member such as a screw.

[0048] The base plate 110 is a flat, thin metal plate facing the base frame 200. At this time, a screw through-hole 112 for screw coupling to the base frame 200 is formed at the center of the base plate 110.

[0049] A first elastic plate 120 is formed by bending and extending upward from one end of the base plate 110 .

[0050] The first elastic plate 120 is a flat, thin metal plate integrally connected to the base plate 110 and may be manufactured using a type of leaf spring material.

[0051] The first elastic plate 120 is designed to apply pressure to and fix the side surface of the deck 300 by applying an elastic force that tends to expand outward when the deck 300 is installed.

[0052] A second elastic plate 130 is formed by bending and extending upward from the other end of the base plate 110 .

[0053] The second elastic plate 130 is designed to apply pressure to and fix the side of the deck 300 by receiving an elastic force that tends to expand outwardly in the opposite direction of the first elastic plate 120 .

[0054] At this time, the end of the first elastic plate 120 is bent outward to have a triangular or hemispherical shape to form an attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 which is coupled to an attachment / detachment guide groove 310 provided on one side of the deck 300.

[0055] In this case, the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 may be formed in a triangular shape.

[0056] Alternatively, it may be formed in a hemispherical shape as shown in FIG.

[0057] The attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 and the attachment / detachment guide groove 310 provided on one side of the deck 300 are spaced apart while their opposing triangular or hemispherical inclined surfaces slide relative to each other.

[0058] This allows the clip member 100 and the deck 300 to be easily attached and detached with a relatively small force during installation and dismantling of the deck 300, thereby reducing the labor of the worker.

[0059] At this time, the alignment position of the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 may be located at the midpoint based on the thickness of the deck 300 .

[0060] That is, the position of the attachment / detachment guide groove 310 aligned with the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 is also located at the middle of the deck 300 .

[0061] This can prevent the structure of the deck 300 from being weakened by the process of forming the attachment / detachment guide groove 310 on the side of the deck 300.

[0062] A horizontally bent center wing 150 is formed at the end of the second elastic plate 130. The center wing 150 is inserted horizontally into a center groove 320 formed on the other side of the deck 300 to prevent the deck 300 from lifting up.

[0063] At this time, the center wing 150 of the clip member 100 and the center groove 320 of the deck 300 are first coupled, and then the opposite attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 and the attachment / detachment guide groove 310 of the deck 300 are coupled.

[0064] At this time, the coupling position between the center wing 150 and the center groove 320 may be located at the midpoint based on the thickness of the deck 300 .

[0065] This is the same coupling position as the coupling position of the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 and the attachment / detachment guide groove 310 .

[0066] The width of the center groove 320 may be wider than the thickness of the center wing 150. This is to allow the center groove 320 of the deck 300 to be coupled to the center wing 150 of the clip member 100 in a diagonal direction rather than a horizontal direction when the center groove 320 of the deck 300 enters the center wing 150 of the clip member 100, as shown in Figures 6a to 6c.

[0067] At this time, the end of the center wing 150 is bent upward to form an inclined entry guide 151, so that the center groove 320 of the deck 300 can be easily entered.

[0068] At this time, as shown in FIG. 6b, in the process of the center groove 320 formed on one side of the deck 300 and the center wing 150 formed on the second elastic plate 130 of the clip member 100 being coupled, the second elastic plate 130 and the center wing 150 are elastically deformed in the direction in which the coupling force of the deck 300 acts.

[0069] Thereafter, when the center wing 150 is seated in the center groove 320 , the other side of the deck 300 is pushed so that the attachment / detachment guide groove 310 and the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 of the clip member 100 are coupled together.

[0070] At this time, the force pushing the deck 300 causes the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 and the first elastic plate 120 to be elastically deformed in the direction in which the pressure acts.

[0071] When the attachment / detachment guide groove 310 is seated on the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140, the first elastic plate 120 and the second elastic plate 130 of the clip member 100 are subjected to an elastic force tending to expand outward, thereby pressing the first plate pressure surface and the second plate pressure surface formed on the side of the deck 300, respectively, to apply a fixing force.

[0072] 9 is a front view of a deck installation clip member according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9, points C where the first and second elastic plates 120 and 130 on both sides of the base plate 110 are bent, points C where the first elastic plate 120 and the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 are bent, and points C where the second elastic plate 130 and the center wing 150 are bent may be heat treated to improve elastic strength and durability.

[0073] Fig. 10 is a front view showing a deck installation clip member according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 11 is an illustrative view showing an example of deck installation using the deck installation clip member disclosed in Fig. 10. Referring to Figs. 10 and 11, the bent portions of the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 and the first elastic plate 120 can be formed into a horizontal or acute-angled linear surface to form a locking protrusion 141.

[0074] The configuration of the locking protrusion 141 shown in Figure 10 allows for easy coupling with little force when the deck 300 is aligned, as shown in Figure 11, but conversely, when the deck 300 is lifted vertically to separate from the clip member 100, a barbed structure (or hook shape) provides a separation prevention force.

[0075] 11, in order to disassemble the deck 300 from this separation prevention structure, a disassembly tool 400 can be inserted into the gap between the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 and the deck 300 and then used as a lever to forcibly release the engagement of the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140. In this case, the end of the attachment / detachment guide protrusion 140 may be bent to form an entry guide 142 that guides the disassembly tool 400 to be easily inserted.

[0076] The deck 300 may be provided with a locking groove 313 corresponding to the structure of the locking protrusion 141 .

[0077] As described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific preferred embodiments described above, and it goes without saying that anyone having ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains can implement various modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the claims, and such modifications should be considered to be within the scope of the claims.
