Description

비닐하우스용 비닐패드{vinyl pad for vinyl house}Vinyl pad for vinyl house

본 고안은 비닐하우스의 골조에 부착되는 패드에 관한 것으로 보다 상세하게는, 얇은 비닐을 하우스의 굴곡에 따른 형상대로 부착시켜주는 기능을 하는 패드에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a pad attached to a frame of a vinyl house, and more particularly, to a pad having a function of attaching a thin vinyl in a shape according to the bending of the house.

일반적으로 비닐하우스는 수개의 기둥파이프(1)와 지붕파이프(2)가 주요 골격을 형성하고 대개 약 6M의 길이를 가지는 비닐패드(3)를 하우스의 종방향을 따라 다수 개를 연결 설치함으로서 비닐을 비닐패드(3)에 고정시킬 수 있는 구조로 되어 있다 . 종래에는 비닐패드(3)들을 연결시키기 위하여 별도로 만들어진 연결핀(5)을 사용하여 첫 번째 비닐패드(3)의 말단과 두 번째 비닐패드(3)의 선단을 나사 등으로 고정함으로서 비닐패드(3)가 연결되어 설치되는 구조로 되어 있었다. 또한, 간혹 드물게는 도 2의 형상중 절개부(9)가 없는 형태로 플랜지부(8)와 경사부(6)를 인접한 비닐패드(3)의 말단에 강제 삽입하여 연결되는 방식이 있었다.In general, a vinyl house is formed by connecting a plurality of vinyl pipes 3 along the longitudinal direction of the house by installing a plurality of pillar pipes 1 and a roof pipe 2 forming a main frame and having a length of about 6M. Can be fixed to the vinyl pad (3). Conventionally, by using a connecting pin 5 made separately to connect the vinyl pads 3, the end of the first vinyl pad 3 and the tip of the second vinyl pad 3 are fixed by screws or the like. ) Was connected and installed. In addition, in some rare cases, the flange portion 8 and the inclined portion 6 in the form of no cutout 9 in the shape of FIG. 2 are connected by forcibly inserted into the end of the adjacent vinyl pad 3.

그러나, 별도로 만들어진 연결핀(5)을 사용하여 비닐패드(3)들을 연결하는 방식에 있어서는 연결핀(5)을 별도 휴대하여야 한다는 단점과 비닐패드의 형상에 맞도록 별도의 연결핀(5)을 제작하여야 하므로 재료비가 많이 드는 단점이 있었다. 그리고 도 2의 형상중 절개부(9)가 없이 플랜지부(8)와 경사부(6)를 인접한 비닐패드(3)의 말단에 강제 삽입하는 방식에 있어서는 비닐패드(3)가 약간이라도 경사지면 삽입이 어렵고 연결후에도 과도한 압입으로 인해 피로균열이 생기고 쉽게 형상이 변형되며 연결시 작업시간이 오래 걸리는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the method of connecting the vinyl pads 3 using the connection pins 5 separately made, the connection pins 5 need to be carried separately and the separate connection pins 5 to match the shape of the vinyl pads. Because it has to be manufactured, the material cost was high. In the method of forcibly inserting the flange portion 8 and the inclined portion 6 into the end of the adjacent vinyl pad 3 without the cutout 9 in the shape of FIG. 2, the vinyl pad 3 may be slightly inclined. Difficult to insert and fatigue cracking due to excessive indentation even after connecting easily deformed shape, there was a problem that takes a long time when connecting.

따라서 본 고안의 목적은 연결작업이 용이하며 경사부(6) 및 플랜지부(8)의 변형이 크지 않아 내구성이 좋으며 또한 별도의 연결구가 필요없어 이동운반성이 좋은 비닐패드(3)를 제공하는 데 있다.Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a vinyl pad (3) that is easy to connect and the durability of the inclined portion (6) and the flange portion (8) is not large, so that the durability is good, and no separate connector is required. have.

본 고안에 따른 비닐패드(3)는 플라스틱으로도 구현될 수 있으나 필요한 강도를 확보하기 위해서 주로 철재의 재질로서 일체로 성형되며, 본 비닐패드(3)의 기본 형상은 필요한 폭으로 슬리팅된 철판코일을 비닐이 잘 안착될 수 있도록 바닥이 넓고 상부가 열려진 삼각형의 모양으로 성형기에 의하여 성형한 후 필요한 길이(주로 6M)로 절단된다. 다음에 비닐패드(3)의 선단은 타 비닐패드(3)의 말단에 삽입될 수 있도록 기본 삼각형의 폭보다 좁은 폭의 형상으로 프레스 금형 가공되며 비닐패드(3)의 말단은 연결되는 비닐패드(3)의 선단이 쉽게 삽입될 수 있도록 일정한 높이로 삽입되는 길이 만큼 플랜지부(8)가 도려내어진 모양으로 이루어진 것을 특징으로 한다.Vinyl pad (3) according to the present invention may be implemented in plastic, but is integrally molded as a material of steel mainly to secure the required strength, the basic shape of the vinyl pad (3) is a steel plate slitting to the required width The coil is shaped into a triangular shape with a wide bottom and an open top so that vinyl can be seated well, and then cut into the required length (usually 6M). Next, the tip of the vinyl pad 3 is press-molded into a shape narrower than the width of the basic triangle so that the tip of the vinyl pad 3 can be inserted into the end of the other vinyl pad 3, and the end of the vinyl pad 3 is connected to the vinyl pad ( It is characterized in that the flange portion 8 is cut out as much as the length inserted into a constant height so that the tip of the 3) can be easily inserted.

이하 본 고안의 제 1 실시예를 첨부한 도면에 의거 설명하면 다음과 같다. 도 2에 예시된 바와 같이, 본 고안에 따른 비닐패드(3)의 선단은 타 비닐패드(3)에 쉽게 삽입될 수 있도록 변곡부(7)를 기준으로 더욱 좁은 폭을 가지도록 압착된다. 경사부(6)와 플랜지부(8)의 경사는 동일하지만 안착부(10)의 폭은 말단의 절개부(9)의 폭에 부합하도록 가공된다. 또한 본 비닐패드(3)의 말단은 상기 플랜지부(8)를 잘라내어 플랜지부(8)의 두께에 의한 삽입의 난이 및 과도한 변형이 없도록 일정한 높이로 삽입부의 길이만큼 도려내어져 삽입 및 지지가 용이하도록 가공된다.Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the tip of the vinyl pad 3 according to the present invention is compressed to have a narrower width relative to the inflection portion 7 so that the vinyl pad 3 can be easily inserted into the other vinyl pad 3. The inclinations of the inclined portion 6 and the flange portion 8 are the same, but the width of the seating portion 10 is machined to match the width of the distal portion 9. In addition, the end of the vinyl pad (3) is cut out by the length of the insert portion to a certain height so that the difficulty of insertion and excessive deformation due to the thickness of the flange portion 8 by cutting the flange portion 8 is easy to insert and support To be processed.

도 3은 본 고안에 따른 비닐패드(3)들을 연결한 상태의 횡단면도이다. 비닐패드(3)의 선단이 타 비닐패드(3)의 말단에 안쪽으로 삽입되어진 모양이며 또 4는 상기 연결상태의 종단면도이다.3 is a cross-sectional view of a state in which the vinyl pads 3 according to the present invention are connected. The tip of the vinyl pad 3 is inserted inwardly at the end of the other vinyl pad 3, and 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the connection state.

본 고안의 제 2 실시예는 도 5에 예시된 바와 같이, 비닐패드(3)의 선단이 패드본체의 폭보다 넓은 폭의 형상을 가지도록 경사부(6)와 변곡부(7) 및 플랜지부(8)를 가공하여 타 비닐패드(3)의 절개부(9)에 바깥쪽으로 삽입되어 연결되며 말단은 동일한 절개부(9)를 지니는 것을 특징으로 하는 비닐패드(3)이다.In the second embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the inclined portion 6, the inverted portion 7, and the flange portion have a shape in which the tip of the vinyl pad 3 has a width wider than that of the pad body. (8) is a vinyl pad (3) characterized in that it is inserted into the cutout (9) of the other vinyl pad (3) to the outside and connected to the end has the same cutout (9).

본 고안의 제 3 실시예는 도 6에 예시된 바와 같이, 비닐패드(3)의 말단의 절개부(9)를 선단쪽으로 옮겨 비닐패드(3)의 선단이 상기 변곡부(7) 및 경사부(6)와 안착부(10)를 형성함과 동시에 플랜지부(8)를 도려낸 형상이 되고 그 말단은 패드본체와 동일한 형상으로 유지되는 것을 특징으로 하는 비닐패드(3)이다.In the third embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the distal end portion 9 of the vinyl pad 3 is moved toward the distal end so that the distal end portion of the vinyl pad 3 is in the inflection portion 7 and the inclined portion. The vinyl pad 3 is characterized in that the 6 and the seating portion 10 are formed, and the flange portion 8 is cut out, and the ends thereof are kept in the same shape as the pad body.

본 고안에 따른 비닐패드(3)는 비닐하우스의 설치시 하우스의 골격에 본 고안의 비닐패드(3) 한 개를 먼저 나사 등으로 부착한 후 연속되는 비닐패드(3)의 선단을 상기 비닐패드(3)의 말단에 삽입하여 연결할 수 있도록 함으로서 작업시간을 줄이고 일인이 혼자 작업할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 별도의 연결핀을 휴대할 필요가 없고 기존연결시의 문제점인 삽입의 어려움을 해결하여 과도한 힘에 의한 영구 변형이 없어지고 내구성이 증대되는 효과가 있다.The vinyl pad 3 according to the present invention attaches one vinyl pad 3 of the present invention to a skeleton of the house at the time of installation of the vinyl house with a screw or the like, and then ends the end of the continuous vinyl pad 3 with the vinyl pad. (3) by inserting at the end of the connection to reduce the working time and work by one person alone, and do not need to carry a separate connection pin and solve the difficulty of insertion, which is a problem in the existing connection, excessive force There is no effect of permanent deformation by the durability is increased.
