DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a prefabricated steel structure pop-up self-locking column-column connection node is composed of an upper steel column 1, a lower steel column 2, an inner sleeve standard part and a self-locking device 3. The upper steel column 1 and the lower steel column 2 can be welded or cold-formed, and the cross-section is square or round. In this embodiment, a square tube is used.

[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a sealing plate 101 is welded to the bottom of the upper steel column 1 to form a closed interface, and a support base 201 is provided on the inner upper part of the lower steel column 2. The support base 201 is cross-shaped, and the four sides of the support base 201 are respectively fixed to the inner wall of the lower steel column 2 by welding. The self-locking device 3 is installed on the support base 201, and the support base 201 serves to stop the inner sleeve 4 at the specified position during the installation process and to install and fix the self-locking device 3.

[0026] The inner sleeve standard part includes an inner sleeve 4 and a trigger push rod 5. The upper end of the inner sleeve 4 is connected to the sealing plate 101 of the upper steel column 1 through a weld, and the lower end of the inner sleeve 4 is connected to the lower steel column 2 through a self-locking device 3. The trigger push rod 5 is arranged in the center of the sealing plate 101 of the upper steel column 1, and the bottom surface of the trigger push rod 5 has a circular arc convex portion.

[0027] The inner sleeve 4 is formed by welding or cold bending, and has the same cross-sectional form as the upper steel column 1 and the lower steel column 2 and a clearance fit, so that the inner sleeve 4 can be inserted into the lower steel column 2.

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown, the self-locking device 3 includes a rod sleeve 301, a rod 302, a sleeve fixing frame 303 and a spring trigger device 304. The sleeve fixing frame 303 is composed of four support plates distributed in a cross shape. The support plates are perpendicular to the support base 201. A rod sleeve 301 is fixed on each support plate. A pre-loaded spring 305 is arranged inside each rod sleeve 301. The spring trigger device 304 is installed in the center of the sleeve fixing frame 303. The middle part of the spring trigger device 304 is a circular arc groove matching the circular arc convex part. The rod 302 is inserted into the rod sleeve 301 and abuts against the pre-loaded spring 305. The rod 302 is made of high-strength steel with high shear strength.

[0029] A rod insertion hole 6 is reserved at the positions corresponding to the lower steel column 2 and the inner sleeve 4 and the rod insertion sleeve 301 , and the size of the rod insertion hole 6 is adapted to the size of the insertion rod 302 .

[0030] During assembly, the self-locking device 3 is pre-installed at the designated position of the support base 201 of the lower steel column 2. After the lower steel column 2 is installed in place, the standard inner sleeve is installed vertically. During the installation process, the inner sleeve 4 contacts the support base 201 of the lower steel column 2, and the upper steel column 1 reaches the designated position. At this time, the push rod 5 is triggered to press down the spring trigger device 304 in the center of the self-locking device. The spring trigger device is pressed down to unlock the pre-compression spring 305 connected to it. At this time, the inner sleeve 4 and the reserved plug-in rod hole 6 of the lower steel column 2 are precisely aligned with the plug-in rod 302 of the self-locking device 3. The four plug-in rods 302 are pushed into the plug-in rod hole 6 by the spring 305 under the spring pressure, and after reaching the position of the outer wall of the lower steel column 2, they are fixed at the designated position by the clamps reserved on the outer column wall of the plug-in rod hole 6. At this time, the self-locking installation is completed.

[0031] During disassembly, after removing the clamping piece on the outer column wall of the rod insertion hole 6, the insertion rod 302 in the rod insertion hole 6 is pushed back or taken out along the rod insertion sleeve 301 to unlock the node.

[0032] The self-locking device 3 is connected to the lower steel column 2 through the insert rod 302. The inner sleeve 4 and the self-locking device 3 have high strength and rigidity, which can ensure the safe and reliable connection between the columns. The upper steel column 1 and the lower steel column 2 are connected through the inner sleeve 4 with the self-locking device 3. No welding or bolt connection is required on site. They can be used after installation and can be disassembled, which improves construction efficiency.
