Embodiment Construction

[0030] A node used for grid structure of the present invention is composed of a central part 1, the central part includes a spherical outer surface 1' and a flat bottom surface 1", and the outer surface 1' of the central part is distributed There is a series of radially threaded holes 2 for cooperating with a first set of rods 3 provided at the ends with corresponding threaded elements.The node is shown in Figure 1 .

[0031] In Fig. 2, the node comprises a second set of rods 7 with flattened ends fitted in a stacked manner on the planar bottom surface 1" of the central part 1.

[0032] Figures 4 and 6 show that the node can also be provided with a connecting sleeve 4 consisting of a cylindrical portion 6 and at least one conical portion 8, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole on the flat end of the second set of rods 7, The provision of the conical portion facilitates the insertion of the connecting sleeve into the hole and the cylindrical p...

Abstract

The invention relates to a node for a wire frame structure. The node comprises a center part (1) having a spherical outer surface (1') and a flat bottom surface (1''). Besides, the node also comprises a first group of rods (3) whose ends are provided with thread elements coupled in a radial hole (2); a second group of rods(7) having flat ends, which are assembled on the flat bottom surface (1'') of the center part (1) through connecting sleeves (4 and 5) in a mode of overlapping. The connecting sleeves (4 and 5) consist of a column part (6) and at least one cone part (8). The diameter of the column part (6) is slightly smaller than that of the holes (9) arranged at the flat ends of the second group of rods. The cone part (8) is beneficial for passing through the connecting sleeves (4 and 5).

Description

[0001] purpose of invention [0002] The present invention relates to a node constituting a metal grid structure, such as a node for building roofs or similar structures. [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a node that can meet the requirements of grid structure assembly from a simple solution for assembling a small number of rods to a complex solution including assembling rods in different connection ways. Compared with the existing solutions, Considerable weight and price reduction. Background technique [0004] Nodes are an essential element of a metal grid structure, used to connect rods to form a frame. Therefore, the joints must be strong enough and able to transmit pressure, using a combination of welds, screws, threads and keys to form the frame. [0005] The main nodes currently used to construct the grid structure are as follows. [0006] The Mero node system is composed of a central part composed of a sphere, and the central part is radial...
