Description of Related Art

When a building expands with heating and contracts with cooling or is shaken by earthquakes, cracks are likely to occur at the corners of the window frames of the walls, rendering rainwater to seep into the room through the cracks. Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has developed “Anti-cracking Component of Structural Wall for Window Coiner” of Taiwan Pat. Pub. No. I650468B, as illustrated in FIG. 6, wherein an anti-cracking component of a structural wall for window corner (a) comprises a first piece portion (a1), a second piece portion (a2) perpendicularly connected and integrally formed with the first piece portion (a1), and a plurality of holes (a3), arranged on the first piece portion (a1) and the second piece portion (a2) for positioning rods (a4) to be penetrated therethrough, so as to nail the anti-cracking component of the structural wall for window corner (a) on a formwork at the corner of the window frame. Then concrete grouting is performed, so that the anti-cracking component of the structural wall for window corner (a) is wrapped in the wall to absorb the stress generated by the wall of the corner of the window frame when an earthquake or other incident occurs, so as to avoid wall cracking.


However, when the “An Anti-cracking Component of Structural Wall for Window Corner” of the Taiwan Pat. Pub. No. I650468B is utilized, the positioning rods (a4) nailed into the formwork have been found vulnerable to vibration and fallen off. The daughter of the inventor of this invention has developed “Fixing Structure for Anti-cracking Component of Window Corner Wall” in Taiwan Pat. Pub. No. M582057U, as illustrated in FIG. 7, wherein a fixing structure for anti-cracking component of window corner wall (b) is mainly movably provided with a number of positioning rods (b2) through the anti-crack component (b1), and a band (b3) bound around the positioning rods (b2). In this way, the positioning rods (b2) are bound and fixed by the band (b3), so that the positioning rods (b2) can be prevented from falling unexpectedly during the installation process, so as to facilitate the construction personnel to nail each positioning rod (b2) into the formwork.


Furthermore, referring to FIG. 8, when Taiwan Pat. Pub. No. I650468B “Anti-cracking Component of Structural Wall for Window Coiner” and Taiwan Pat. Pub. No. M582057U “Fixing Structure for Anti-cracking Component of Window Corner Wall” are installed and utilized, when an anti-crack component (b1) is secured on the formwork and longitudinal steel bars (c) are arranged around the window frame, the construction personnel must climb to a high place by means of a ladder frame, so as to penetrate the longitudinal steel bars (c) from top to bottom through the gap formed by the two fixing rods (b4). Therefore, the installation process requires the construction personnel to carry the steel bars (c) and climb the ladder frame back and forth, and thread several steel bars (c) one by one from top to bottom, which is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, which greatly reduces the on-site construction efficiency. Therefore, the present inventor has further developed Taiwan Pat. Pub. No. I695106B, entitled “Anti-cracking Assembly Structure for Door and Window Corner Walls”, as illustrated in FIG. 9. An anti-cracking assembly structure for door and window corner walls (d) has a notch (d13) formed at the connection between a first piece portion (d11) and a second piece portion (d12) of an anti-crack component (d1), two adjacent fixing holes (d14) arranged at end edges of the first piece portion (d11) and the second piece portion (d12) at the two sides of the notch (d13), a fixing rods (d2) fixedly inserted into each of the two fixing holes (d14), and a plurality of positioning holes (d15) provided in the operation area (d3) jointly defined by the two fixing rods (d2) and the first piece portion (d11) and the second piece portion (d12) passed through thereby, so as for the positioning rod (d4) to movably penetrate therethrough to be fixed on a formwork. Accordingly, referring to FIG. 10, when the anti-cracking assembly structure for door and window corner walls (d) is installed at the frame corners of a door or window frame (e), and then steel bars (f) are arranged around the door or window frame (e), the steel bar (f) can be directly placed into a steel bar resting area (d5) formed and defined among outer edges of the first piece portion (d11), the second piece portion (d12), and the adjacent fixing rods (d2) to abut against the fixing rods (d2). Therefore, the installation of the steel bars (f) can be completed quickly and conveniently, and the on-site construction efficiency can be greatly improved.


Accordingly, it can be seen from the research and development process of the above-mentioned inventors that the inventors of the present invention utilize their products in practice, and continue to discover the features of their products to be further refined and improved, to strive to make their products more usable and practical. Recently, the inventors of the present invention discovered that the above-mentioned patent, Japanese Patent No. 6828196B1 “Door Window Corner Wall Crack Prevention Assembly Structure”, China Patent No. CN211775119U “Door and Window Corner Wall Crack Prevention Component Structure”, and other previously developed products show low efficiency in conducting and dispersing stress, rendering defects such as 45-degree shear cracks at the corners of the wall structure of the door and window frame, even though they have provided concave-convex creases formed on the surface of the component for transmitting and dispersing stress. Those inventions are therefore not ideal. Hence, in line with the concept of keeping improving to make the products more perfect, the present invention has been developed after ingenious thinking and experiments.
