The present invention relates to the technical field of building installation nails, and more particularly to a metal nail sleeve for fixing a thermal insulation layer to a wall body.
Usually, in the colder areas, the thermal insulation layer is also provided on the external wall of the building, and is generally fixed with nails. The nail bar of the metal nail is thinner, so the metal nail has low stability in fixing the thermal insulation layer. Therefore, the same area of thermal insulation layer needs more nails, which increases the cost. In order to solve this problem, plastic nails with low cost are used. The nail body of the plastic nails is thicker, so the plastic nails have better stability in fixing the thermal insulation layer. However, the plastic nails have a fatal defect, which is flammable, so there is a safety hazard. In order to solve this problem, the metal nail sleeve is sleeved outside the nail to fix the thermal insulation layer. If the inner wall of the metal nail sleeve is in direct contact with the nail, the nail which is directly connected to the wall body exchanges heat with the space outside the thermal insulation layer through the metal nail sleeve, and generally, the amount of nail sleeves and nails for fixing the thermal insulation layer is large, which leads to poor thermal insulation effect. If there is no contact between the nail bar and the inner wall of the nail sleeve, the nail bar may be bent when the front end of the nail is inserted into the wall body during the nailing process, causing that the front end of the nail is unable to be inserted into the wall body, so that the thermal insulation layer is unable to be fixed on the wall surface.
In order to overcome deficiencies of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel metal nail sleeve for fixing a thermal insulation layer. The metal nail sleeve has stable connection.
