DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(18) The technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the disclosure rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure.

(19) In the description of the disclosure, it should be understood that the terms upper surface, both sides, bottom, end, radial direction, etc. indicate orientation or positional relationship to only facilitate the description of the disclosure and simplified description rather than indicate or imply that the components or elements referred must be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, these terms cannot be understood as limitations of the invention.

(20) FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are schematic diagrams illustrating the existing wok ear rammed earth wall without a reinforcement device. The wok ear rammed earth wall includes a wok ear 301 and a rammed earth wall 3. The rammed earth wall 3 is a wall structure located on both sides of the building house. The wok ear 301 is a structure arranged on the upper part of the rammed earth wall 3. In daily life, the bottom of the wok ear 301 connected to the rammed earth wall 3 is prone to deviation, tilt, or even fall. The main reason is that earthy materials are used such that the structural strength and stability are poor and the wok ear rammed earth wall is easy to be damaged.

(21) Please refer to FIGS. 1-10. The disclosure provides a reinforcement device for correcting the alignment of a wok ear rammed earth wall, which includes:

(22) A wok ear reinforcing structure includes a strip-shaped fixing plate 5 on the upper surface of a wok ear 301. The overall shape of the strip-shaped fixing plate 5 consists with the trending path of the wok ear 301 after being pressed down. 14 side fixing plates 501 are spaced apart on each of both sides of the strip-shaped fixing plate 5. An end of each of the side fixing plates 501 is provided with a first connecting ring 502. The 14 side fixing plates 501 are arranged on each of both sides of the strip-shaped fixing plate 5. The overall shape of the strip-shaped fixing plate 5 is similar to a shape with a radian.

(23) A rammed earth wall reinforcing structure includes triangular fixing frames 1 on both sides of the wok ear 301, two side leg support columns 2 on the bottom of each of the triangular fixing frames 1, and a main support column 6 between the two side leg support columns 2. The triangular fixing frames 1 on both sides of the wok ear 301 respectively extend to form L-shaped connecting bars 101 symmetric to each other. The ends of the L-shaped connecting bars 101 are correspondingly welded together to form a surrounding integral structure. The two waist sides of the triangular fixing frame 1 are provided with second connecting rings 102 spaced apart to correspond to the first connecting rings 502. The number of the second connecting rings 102 is equal to that of the first connecting rings 502. The second connecting rings 102 and the first connecting rings 502 are welded d by rigid connecting plates 4.

(24) The strip-shaped fixing plate 5 and the side fixing plates 501 are arranged within grooves formed on the surface of the wok ear 301. The side fixing plates 501 are located on both sides of the wok ear 301 and are arranged within gaps between adjacent pairs of decorative protrusions 303 on radial protrusions 302. At least one of the side fixing plates 501 is arranged between adjacent two of the decorative protrusions 303.

(25) Wherein, the side fixing plate 501 has a semi-convex shape that consists with the outer contour of the radial protrusion 302, as illustrated in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5.

(26) Wherein, the strip-shaped fixing plate 5 and the side fixing plates 501 are rigid fixing plates and their thickness is consistent with the depth of the grooves formed on the wok ear 301. The strip-shaped fixing plate 5, the side fixing plate 501, and the L-shaped connecting bar 101 are all made of stainless steel with a thickness of 3 mm.

(27) Wherein, the triangular fixing frames 1, the L-shaped connecting bars 101, the side leg support columns 2, and the main support column 6 are all snugly fitted against the surface of the rammed earth wall 3 and are arranged within the grooves formed on the outer surface of the rammed earth wall 3. The thickness of each of the triangular fixing frame 1, the L-shaped connecting bar 101, the side leg support column 2, and the main support column 6 is equal to the depth of the corresponding groove. The triangular fixing frame 1, the L-shaped connecting bar 101, the side leg support columns 2, and the main support column 6 are all implemented with stainless steel square tubes.

(28) Wherein, the bottom of each of the side leg support column 2 and the main support column 6 is provided with a support block 201 and the surface of the support block 201 is provided with a bolt hole fixed with a grounding bolt.

(29) Wherein, the grooves formed the outer surfaces of both the wok ear and the rammed earth wall are filled and coated with glutinous rice and mortar to form a mud layer. The material and color of the mud layer respectively match the material and color of the surface of the wok ear rammed earth wall.

(30) The installation method of the disclosure is described as follows:

(31) According to the shape and size of the top wok ear 301 of the rammed earth wall that need to be reinforced, a strip-shaped fixing plate 5 is customized, wherein the trending path of the strip-shaped fixing plate 5 consists with the trending path of the wok ear. The fixing plates 501 are arranged on both sides of the strip-shaped fixing plate 5 according to the positional relationship of the decorative protrusions 303. Then, two triangular fixing frames 1 are customized according to the area and size of the top wok ear 301. The side leg support columns 2 and main support columns 6 are customized according to the height of the rammed earth wall 3. Then, the scaffolding is built on site and the top wok ear 301 is corrected to form grooves on the surface and install the top wok ear 301. Then, the two triangular fixed frames 1, the side leg support columns 2 and the main support column 6 are installed. The rigid connecting plates 4 and the L-shaped connecting bars are welded to each other to form an integral fixed structure. Finally, the bottoms of the side leg support columns 2 and the main support column 6 are fastened to the ground with bolts to achieve an overall fixed connection, thereby ensuring the stability and structural strength of the rammed earth wall.

(32) The disclosure has the following beneficial effects: 1. The disclosure provides a wok ear reinforcing structure and a rammed earth wall reinforcing structure. The wok ear reinforcing structure is composed of a strip-shaped fixing plate and side fixing plates on both sides of the strip-shaped fixing plate. The rammed earth wall reinforcing structure is composed of triangular fixing frames, L-shaped connecting bars on both sides of the triangular fixing frame, a main support column, and side leg support columns. The structure is implemented with an assembled structure, which can be designed and customized separately based on the shapes and sizes of different wok ear rammed earth walls and assembled on site. It has the advantages of convenient transportation and simple use and installation. 2. The structure of the disclosure forms grooves on the surface of the wok ear rammed earth wall and pre-embeds components into the grooves to fix and install the overall frame. After the installation is completed, the grooves formed on outer surfaces of both the wok ear and the rammed earth wall are filled and coated with glutinous rice and mortar to form a mud layer. The material and color of the mud layer respectively match the material and color of the surface of a wok ear rammed earth wall, thereby ensuring the original appearance of the wok ear rammed earth wall. The structure of the disclosure is less destructive and greatly used to enhance the structural strength. 3. The structure of the disclosure is exquisitely designed. It can correct and protect the wok ear structure and place it tilted, such that the wok ear and the rammed earth wall are integrally formed and the overall building structure is fixed with the ground to form one, thereby ensuring the strength of the structure and greatly improving the stability and anti-falling ability of the building structure.
