Abstract:
Jointed metal plates and the manufacturing method thereof are provided, in which a first plate can be end-to-end connected to a second plate. The first plate has protrusions on its jointing edge, while the second plate has recesses on its jointing edge. The protrusions of the first plate are embedded in the recesses of the second plate respectively in a manner that the first plate is fixed with respect to the second plate. Thereby, welding process can be omitted when two metal plates are to be fixed end-to-end. The disadvantages of the welding process can be prevented. The manufacturing efficiency can be increased, while the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Claim (Index 4):
A manufacturing method for jointed metal plates, comprising the following steps:\n a plate cutting step: cutting and obtaining a first plate and a second plate, wherein the first plate comprises a first plate member and a plurality of protrusions, the first plate member has a first jointing edge, the protrusions are protruded from the first jointing edge in a jointing direction, the jointing direction coincides with an extension plane of the first plate member, the second plate comprises a second plate member and a plurality of recesses, the second plate member has a second jointing edge from which the recesses are recessed in the jointing direction; a stacking step: stacking the first plate on the second plate in a manner that the protrusions abut against the second plate, each of the protrusions covering at least a part of one of the recesses when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first plate; a stamping step: after the stacking step, stamping the first plate and the second plate in a manner that the protrusions and the second plate are pressed and partially distorted and that the protrusions are embedded in the recesses respectively, thereby the first plate being fixed with respect to the second plate.
