The disclosure relates to a partition, more particularly to a partition applied in the construction and the construction method thereof.
A partition may refer to a partition wall in the building, a ceiling, a floor or an outer wall on the outside of a building, and the following content takes the partition wall as an example.
In the construction process, an upper rail and a ground rail are firstly disposed on the ceiling and the ground respectively, and then multiple U-shaped stands are installed between the upper rail and the ground rail. Subsequently, a first outer plate is used to cover one side of the stand and sound insulation materials are disposed between the upper rail, the ground rail, the stands and the first outer plate. Lastly, a second outer plate is used to cover the other side of the stands.
In the current construction process, however, the water and electricity pipeline connects the opposite sides of the sound insulation materials so the effect of sound insulation is poor.
Moreover, the current construction process is difficult to conduct. Firstly, a large number of screwing elements are required to fasten the sound insulation materials, thereby causing problems in the current construction process. Secondly, during the arrangement of the pipeline, a second processing procedure is needed in order to damage the sound insulation material, which leads to extra processing time and extra processing procedures. This makes the construction process even more difficult.
Furthermore, currently two ends of the bar protrude from the outermost two stands so they need to be cut off, which is troublesome. On the other hand, the two ends of the bar cannot suspend in midair because it makes the outermost stands unable to be connected with any bar, which may have a negative impact on the construction strength and makes the whole structure prone to be damaged.
The disclosure provides a partition and the construction method thereof. By the particular structure of the partition and the particular construction method, the two spaces are completely separated by the inner plate so the sound insulation effects are better and the partition is easier to be assembled.
For reaching the purposes mentioned above, the disclosure provides a partition comprising at least two stands spaced apart from each other, wherein each of the stands comprises a first panel, a second panel corresponding to the first panel and a lateral plate connecting the first panel and the second panel; at least one inner plate, wherein two sides of the inner plate are respectively fixed to and between the two stands; and two outer plates respectively fixed to and between the first panel of each stand and the second panel of each stand, wherein the two outer plates and the inner plate form two spaces respectively.
Furthermore, a construction method for a partition is provided and comprises the steps of: assembling at least two stands, wherein the two stands are spaced apart and disposed between an upper rail and a ground rail, each of the stands comprises a first panel, a second panel corresponding to the first panel and a lateral plate connecting the first panel and the second panel; fixing an outer plate, wherein the outer plate is fixed to and between the first panels of the two stands; arranging a water and electricity pipeline, wherein a first water and electricity pipeline is arranged between the two stands and an inner surface of the outer plate; fixing at least one inner plate, wherein two sides of the inner plate are respectively fixed to and between the two stands, the outer plate and one surface of the inner plate form a space for accommodating the first water and electricity pipeline; arranging another water and electricity pipeline, wherein a second water and electricity pipeline is arranged between the two stands and another surface of the inner plate; and fixing another outer plate, wherein another outer plate is fixed to and between the second panels of the two stand, and another space for accommodating the second water and electricity pipeline is formed between the another outer plate and the another surface of the inner plate.
Moreover, another construction method for a partition is provided and comprises the steps of: assembling at least two stands, wherein the two stands are spaced apart and disposed between an upper rail and a ground rail, each of the stands comprises a first panel, a second panel corresponding to the first panel and a lateral plate connecting the first panel and the second panel; fixing at least one inner plate, wherein two sides of the inner plate are respectively fixed to and between the two stands; arranging two water and electricity pipelines, wherein a first water and electricity pipeline and a second water and electricity pipeline are arranged on two surfaces of the inner plate; and fixing two outer plates, wherein the two outer plates are respectively fixed to and between the first panels of the two stands and the second panels of the two stands, and a space for accommodating the first water and electricity pipeline is formed between the outer plate and the surface of the inner plate while another space for accommodating the second water and electricity pipeline is formed between the another outer plate and the another surface of the inner plate.
Compared to Prior Art, the benefits of the disclosure include better sound insulation effects and more convenient assembly processes.
The disclosure will become more fully understood from the detailed description and the drawings given herein below for illustration only, and thus does not limit the present disclosure, wherein:
In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

The two stands 1 are spaced apart and are disposed between an upper rail and a ground rail (not shown in the figures) which are fixed to the ceiling and the ground of a building respectively (not shown in the figures). Each stand 1 comprises a first panel 11, a second panel 12 corresponding to the first panel 11 and a lateral plate 13 connecting the first panel 11 and the second panel 12. A lateral side of the lateral plate 13 protrudes (towards left, as seen in
In this embodiment, the lateral plate 13 of each stand 1 is divided into a first lateral plate 131 and a second lateral plate 132 by the groove 141. At least one first through hole 151 is formed on the first lateral plate 131 (shown in
The inner plate 3 has a left side and a right side opposite to each other. The left side of the inner plate 3 is plugged into the groove 141 of one stand 1 while the right side of the inner plate 3 is positioned on the extending plate 142 of the other stand 1. The extending plate 142 of each stand 1 comprises at least one positioning member 144. The positioning member 144 may be a screwing member for screwing the bending portion 14 and the inner plate 3 together (not shown in the figures), or it may be a latch bolt which is used in this embodiment.
At least one socket 143 is formed on the bending portion 14 of each stand 1 (as seen in
Referring to
The first outer plate 4 is fixed to and between the first panel 11 of each stand 1 while the second outer plate 5 is fixed to and between the second panel 12 of each stand 1. Thus, two spaces are formed between the first outer plate 4 and the inner plate 3. Specifically, a first space 6 is formed between the first outer plate 4 and the inner plate 3 while a second space 7 is formed between the second outer plate 5 and the inner plate 3. The first space 6 and the second space 7 are for the water and electricity pipeline (not shown in the figures) to be arranged in without damaging the inner plate 3. In other words, the first space 6 and the second space 7 do not connect with each other. Furthermore, the first space 6 and the second space 7 are completely separated by the inner plate 3, which results in better sound insulation effects than the prior art. Even better sound insulation effects can be achieved when the inner plate 3 is made of sound insulation materials. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. The inner plate 3 may also be made of fireproof material or foam material.
Moreover, the partition further comprises a filler material (not shown in the figures). The filler material may be foam material or any other material as long as it can be filled in. The filler material is filled in the first space 6 and the second space 7 after the arrangement of the water and electricity pipeline is finished.
The second embodiment of the partition is shown in

Furthermore, as shown in
In the step of assembling at least two stands <S901>, the two stands 1 are spaced apart and disposed between an upper rail and a ground rail (not shown in the figures), and the structure of the stand 1 is the same as the structure illustrated in previous embodiments.
In the step of installing the bar, the bar 2 is inserted between the first through hole 151 of each stand 1 or the second through hole 152 of each stand 1, selectively. For instance, a first bar 21 is inserted between the first through holes 151 of the two stands 1 or a second bar 22 is inserted between the second through holes 152 of the two stands 1. Further, the first and second bars 21 and 22 can each be inserted between the first through hole 151 and the second through hole 152, or the first bar 21 may be inserted between the first through holes 151 when the second bar 22 is inserted between the second through holes 152. This arrangement is not intended to limit the disclosure.
In the step of fixing an outer plate <S903>, the outer plate 4 is fixed to and between the first panels 11 of the two stands 1.
In the step of arranging a water and electricity pipeline <S905>, a first water and electricity pipeline is arranged between the two stands 1 and an inner surface of the outer plate 4 (not shown in the figures).
In the step of fixing at least one inner plate <S907>, two sides of the inner plate 3 (same as before) are respectively fixed to and between the two stands 1. The outer plate 4 and one surface of the inner plate 3 form a space 6 for accommodating the first water and electricity pipeline.
In the step of arranging another water and electricity pipeline <S909>, a second water and electricity pipeline is arranged between the two stands 1 and another surface of the inner plate 3 (not shown in the figures).
In the step of fixing another outer plate <S911>, another outer plate 5 is fixed to and between the second panels 12 of the two stands 1. Another space 7 for accommodating the second water and electricity pipeline is formed between the another outer plate 5 and the another surface of the inner plate 3.
In the step of filling a filler material, the filler material is filled into the first and second spaces 6 and 7. The partition is constructed by the construction procedures mentioned above (see
In the step of assembling at least two stands <S901>, a socket 143 is formed on the bending portion 14. The extending plate 142 comprises at least one positioning member 144. Each of the positioning members 144 is parallel to the lateral side of the lateral plate 13 and is plugged into the socket 143 of each stand 1. Two sides of the inner plate 3 are respectively disposed between the groove 141 and the positioning member 144 of one of the stands 1 and between the extending plate 142 and the positioning member 144 of the other stand 1.
To sum up, the benefits of the disclosure are as follows:
1. The first space 6 and the second space 7 are designed for the water and electricity pipeline to be arranged in without damaging the inner plate 3 so the first and the second space do not connect with each other. Furthermore, the first space 6 and the second space 7 are completely separated by the inner plate 3, which results in better sound insulation effects than the prior art. Even better sound insulation effects can be achieved when the inner plate 3 is made of sound insulation materials
2. Assembling the inner plate 3 does not require any screwing member and does not require any second processing procedure. It can be done by plugging one side of the inner plate 3 into the groove 141 while make the other side lean on the extending plate 142, before plugging the positioning member 144. This makes the construction processes easier. Besides, the first and second spaces 6 and 7 are between the first outer plate 4, the second outer plate 5 and the inner plate 3, which is beneficial to the construction processes.
3. The bending portion 14 and the extending plate 142 make the stand 1 in an E-shaped structure. Compared to the current U-shaped stand, the stand 1 in an E-shaped structure is of better structural strength.
4. A bigger construction space is provided via the design of the first and second spaces 6 and 7. The inner plate 3 does not require any screwing member to be fixed so it can be replaced easily (e.g. replace it with an inner plate 3 made of sound insulation material, fireproof material or form material). In addition, the size of the inner plate 3 can be adjusted if needed, which makes the application more flexible.
5. The bars 2 (the first and second bars 21 and 22) may be designed to install only one of them, to be arranged in a staggered manner, or to install both of them.
6. The first and second water and electricity pipelines in the first and second spaces 6 and 7 may go through the pipeline holes 203 on the first and second bars 21 and 22. Thereby, the first and second water and electricity pipelines can be installed without damaging the sound insulation material of the prior art or without damaging the inner plate 3 of the disclosure. The first and the second spaces 6 and 7 do not connect and the inner plate 3 completely separates the two spaces so the sound insulation effects are better. Even better sound insulation effects can be achieved when the inner plate 3 is made of sound insulation material. Further, this makes the construction process easier.
7. The arrangement of the first bar 21 and the second bar 22 can make the first panel 11 and the second panel 12 both be at the same level, which is beneficial in terms of fixing the first and second outer plates 4 and 5.
8. By disposing one latching member 23 at two ends of the bar 2, the two ends of the bar 2 may be fasten with and fixed to the recessed grooves (161 and 162) of the stand 1 by friction, even without the through holes (151 and 152) on the stand. Additionally, the bar 2 does not protrude from the stand 1.
