DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a steel structure elevator shaft frame, including steel frame columns 1, steel frame beams 2 and door columns 3; the steel frame columns 1 are arranged at intervals and fit with the side walls 6 of the foundation pit, and column foot fixing members 5 are provided at the bottom thereof, which are connected to the concrete foundation 4 through the column foot fixing members 5, and the side parts are connected to the side walls 6 of the foundation pit through side embedded members 7; the steel frame beams 2 are arranged between adjacent steel frame columns 1 and connected to the main structure beams 8 through crossbeam connectors 9, including side beams 21, back beams 22, reinforcement beams 23 and hook beams 24, the side beams 21 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom and are located on the left and right sides, the back beams 22 are located on the back side and are arranged corresponding to the floors, the reinforcement beams 23 are arranged between the upper and lower adjacent side beams 21, and the hook beams 24 are arranged at the top between the adjacent steel frame columns 1 on the front side, and no crossbeams are provided in the elevator passage area on the front side of the elevator shaft frame, so that the elevator shaft frame is more beautiful and improves the visual effect of passengers when sightseeing; the door columns 3 are arranged between the two back beams 22 on each floor for supporting the elevator door.

[0040] Preferably, the foundation pit side walls 6 and the main structural beams 8 are both reinforced concrete structures.

[0041] Preferably, two back beams 22 are installed on each floor. Side beams 21 correspond to the back beams 22 located at the bottom of the doorposts 3. Reinforcement beams 23 are also installed at the bottom between the left and right steel frame columns 1 to improve structural stability. The steel frame columns 1, steel frame beams 2, and doorposts 3 are all rectangular steel tubes. The steel frame columns 1 and steel frame beams 2, as well as the steel frame beams 2 and doorposts 3, are all welded.

[0042] like Figure 5 、 6As shown, the column foot fixing part 5 includes an anchor plate, an anchor bolt, a mortar layer and a protective block. The anchor plate is fixed at the bottom of the steel frame column 1. The bottom end of the anchor bolt is planted in the concrete foundation 4, and the top end is fixedly connected to the anchor plate by a nut. The mortar layer is arranged between the anchor plate and the concrete foundation 4. The mortar layer is preferably a dense and non-shrinkable C45 fine stone concrete layer. The protective block is a cast-in-place concrete structure, which is cast around the steel frame column 1 and above the anchor plate to prevent the connection part from loosening. Preferably, a first stiffening plate is arranged on the anchor plate, and the first stiffening plate is fixedly connected to the steel frame column 1. A pad is arranged between the nut of the anchor bolt and the anchor plate to increase the contact area between the nut and the anchor plate.

[0043] The steel frame column 1 includes a corner column 12 and a center column 11. The anchor plates arranged on the corner columns 12 are flush with the edges of the corner columns 12 on both sides of the corner columns 12 close to the foundation pit side walls 6, so that the corner columns 12 are in contact with the foundation pit side walls 6; the anchor plates arranged on the center columns 11 are flush with the edges of the center columns 11 on the sides of the center columns 11 close to the foundation pit side walls 6, so that the center columns 11 are in contact with the foundation pit side walls 6, and the foundation pit side walls 6 are used to further fix the steel frame column 1.

[0044] like Figure 7 、 8 As shown, the side embedded parts 7 are positioned adjacent to and above the column base fixing parts 5. The column base of the steel frame column 1 is jointly supported by the column base fixing parts 5 and the side embedded parts 7 to bear the column base bending moment. This replaces the conventional rigid column base with stiffening ribs on all four sides of the column. This solves the problem of stiffening ribs between the conventional rigid column base and the well wall, which prevents the steel frame column from being tightly attached to the well wall and leaves a structural gap. The side embedded parts 7 include corner column side embedded parts 71 and center column side embedded parts 72. The corner column 12 is connected to the foundation pit side wall 6 via the corner column side embedded parts 71. The corner column side embedded parts 71 include interconnected folded plates and embedded rods. The shape of the folded plates is adapted to the shape of the foundation pit base, preferably L-shaped folded plates. The embedded rods are spaced apart within the foundation pit side wall 6 to secure the folded plates. The corner column 12 is welded to the folded plates. Preferably, a second stiffening plate is provided on the folded plates, which fits in contact with the corner column 12 to provide auxiliary fixation. The center column 11 is connected to the foundation pit side wall 6 through the center column side embedded part 72. The center column side embedded part 72 includes a connecting plate and embedded rods that are connected to each other. The connecting plate is set on the foundation pit side wall 6 through the embedded rod and is welded to the center column 11. Preferably, a third stiffening plate is set on the connecting plate, and the third stiffening plate is fitted with the center column 11 to assist in fixing the center column 11.

[0045] like Figure 9 、 10As shown, the crossbeam connector 9 includes a fixing plate, a connecting rod, a lug plate, and a tension screw. The fixing plates are arranged on both sides of the main structural beam 8; the connecting rod is arranged within the main structural beam 8, and its ends are connected to the two fixing plates; the lug plates are arranged on both sides of the steel frame beam 2 and fixedly connected to the fixing plates; the tension screw is arranged within the steel frame beam 2, and its ends are connected to the two lug plates via nuts. Preferably, the lug plates have oblong holes, and the tension screws are inserted into the oblong holes. This effectively releases vertical shear forces, facilitates installation, and avoids stress concentration caused by temperature.

[0046] A design method for a steel structure elevator shaft frame comprises the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Build an elevator shaft model;

[0048] Step 2: Design component cross-section and material properties;

[0049] Step 3: Perform linear elastic buckling analysis and inversely calculate the calculated length coefficient μ of the steel frame column 1;

[0050] Step 4: Set the calculated length coefficient of the rigid frame column 1 to μ and perform the stability bearing capacity verification of the elevator shaft frame;

[0051] Step 5: Assuming that all front steel frame columns 1 except the top layer are unstable and damaged, perform structural stiffness and bearing capacity verification as a cantilever structure;

[0052] Step 6: After the cross-section and material properties are designed to meet the requirements, the column foot fixings 5, side embedded parts 7, and beam connectors 9 are designed and calculated;

[0053] Step 7: Get the design result.

[0054] In step 1, the elevator shaft model can be calculated using software such as PKPM and YJK.

[0055] In step 2, the design of the cross-section and material properties of each component refers to the following specifications and regulations:

[0056] Code for Loads on Building Structures (GB50009-2012);

[0057] Code for Design of Concrete Structures (2015 Edition) GB50010-2010;

[0061] Code for Design of Building Foundations (GB50007-2011);

[0062] Code for Design of Steel Structures (GB50017-2003).

[0063] The control parameters of the steel structure are as follows:

[0064] 1. Overall control parameters

[0065] Structural design reference period: 50 years

[0066] Structural design service life: 50 years

[0067] Building structure safety level: Level 2

[0068] Structural importance coefficient

[0069] Building seismic fortification level: Class C

[0070] 2. Displacement limit

[0072] Ratio of floor beam cantilever deflection to cantilever span: ≤l / 150

[0073] Ratio of roof beam cantilever deflection to cantilever span: ≤l / 125

[0074] Inter-story displacement angle under horizontal load: ≤l / 250

[0075] 3. Strength limit

[0076] Component strength and stability stress under non-seismic design and frequent earthquakes: ≤0.85 times the material design strength

[0077] 4. Slenderness ratio limit of members

[0078] Tie rod slenderness ratio: ≤400

[0079] Slenderness ratio of compression rod: ≤150

[0080] In step 3, MIDAS GEN software is used to perform linear elastic buckling analysis to obtain the first-order buckling mode. Then, the length coefficient is calculated by back-calculation according to the Euler formula. The calculation formula is:

[0081] In step 4, considering the limitations of the length coefficient calculation method and the particularity of the sightseeing elevator's shape, it is assumed that all steel frame columns 1 without external steel frame beams 2 on the front side suffer from buckling failure except for the top floor. At this time, it should be ensured that the entire sightseeing elevator cannot collapse, and the envelope design should be performed as a cantilever.

[0082] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
