The invention provides a box-type house permanent module beam-column joint with a cross-shaped steel plate and an installation method of the box-type house permanent module beam-column joint with thecross-shaped steel plate. The box-type house permanent module beam-column joint with the cross-shaped steel plate comprises a steel column, a steel beam, a three-dimensional connection piece and connection bolts. The horizontal connection bolts enable the steel column and vertical plates of the three-dimensional connection piece to be fixedly connected, so that horizontal connection of the steel column is achieved. The vertical connection bolts penetrate through a steel beam flange plate, a stiffening steel plate and a horizontal plate of the cross-shaped steel plate, so that vertical connection of the steel column and the steel beam is achieved. According to the box-type house permanent module beam-column joint with the cross-shaped steel plate, the three-dimensional connection piece is arranged at the connection joint of modules, horizontal connection and layer-to-layer vertical connection between the modules on the same layer are achieved through bolts, stress is reasonable, the integrality of the beam-column joint is good, the rigidity at the joint is higher, the design concept of strong joints and weak components is achieved, on-site assembly operation is convenient, the structural design demand of a box-type house permanent module building can be met, design of the joint is easy and practicable, efficient production is convenient, and efficient assembly can be achieved.
