Fence Frame Connector with Rotating Support Shaft for Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing assembled fences are inconvenient to fasten, making it difficult to adjust the angle between adjacent frames.
Innovation Solution
A new type of fence featuring frames with upper and lower connecting bases, connected by a first connector with vertically extended support shafts and a locking mechanism, allowing for easy adjustment of the angle between frames.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional connectors are used to assemble fence frames, then the fence can be assembled, but the fastening process is inconvenient and angle adjustment between adjacent frames is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is divided into two separate components: a first connector fixed on one frame and a second connector on the adjacent frame. This segmentation allows each connector to have a simpler, more specialized structure, with the first connector having insertion holes and the second connector having a support shaft, making the fastening operation more convenient while maintaining structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The support shaft is designed to be rotatable within the insertion hole, providing dynamic adjustment capability. This allows the angle between adjacent frames to be adjusted during assembly by rotating the support shaft to different positions, and then locked in place, making angle adjustment convenient without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms
2Ease of operation
If the connector structure is simplified for easier operation, then ease of assembly improves, but the reliability of the connection may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The support shaft is pre-provided with a locking mechanism that can lock the shaft at specific angular positions. This preliminary action ensures that once the connector is assembled, the connection is automatically secured at reliable positions, maintaining connection reliability while keeping the assembly process simple and convenient
Solution Approach 2:
The second connector is nested within the first connector structure, with the support shaft inserted into the insertion hole. This nested arrangement provides a compact and reliable connection where the support shaft is securely held by the insertion hole walls, ensuring connection reliability while maintaining a simple overall structure

AI summary
The present invention discloses a new type of fence, of which two adjacent fence frames are connected by a first connector, a support shaft that can rotate and connect with the first connector is provided on the upper connecting base of the frame, the first connector can perform vertical reciprocating motion relative to the support shaft to lock or unlock the upper connecting base, and the angle between adjacent frames cannot be adjusted when the upper connecting base is locked. Compared with traditional methods, the present invention presents a simple structure that can be conveniently operated and allows for quick adjustment of the angle between adjacent frames of the fence.
