[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, an assembly type steel structure connecting joint imitating the suture structure of ironclad beetle includes a steel column 1, a steel beam 2, a cantilever beam segment 3, a connecting plate 4, a high-strength friction type bolt 5, and a cover plate 6.

[0034] The form of the steel column 1 and the steel beam 2 is not limited, and the cross section of the steel column 1 and the steel beam 2 can be I-shaped, H-shaped, or box-shaped. In this embodiment, the steel column 1 is a square tube column and the steel beam 2 is an H-shaped steel.

[0035] The cantilever beam segment 3 is fixed on the side surface of the steel column 1 by welding in the factory, Figure 1 which shows an example of the cantilever beam segment 3 being fixed around the steel column 1. The fixed side surface can also be selected according to the actual engineering situation.

[0036] AsFigure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the cantilever beam segment 3 specifically comprises a first upper flange plate 7, a first positioning web plate 8 and a first lower flange plate 9, wherein the first lower flange plate 9 is longer than the first positioning web plate 8, and the first positioning web plate 8 is longer than the first upper flange plate 7. A pad plate 10 is arranged below the first lower flange plate 9, the pad plate 10 is arranged directly below the first lower flange plate 9, and the pad plate 10 forms a lap platform to facilitate the positioning and installation of the steel beam 2. The width of the pad plate 10 is half of the width of the first lower flange plate 9, the thickness of the pad plate 10 is the same as that of the first lower flange plate 9, and the pad plate 10 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the joint with the first lower flange plate 9.

[0037] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 In the present application, the joint between the cantilever beam segment 3 and the steel beam 2 adopts a sutured structure connecting joint with the sheath wings of the bionic iron beetle. The flange ends of the free ends of the steel beam 2 and the cantilever beam segment 3 adopt a sutured connecting blade structure, and the steel beam 2 and the cantilever beam segment 3 are staggered on both sides to facilitate the socket installation.

[0038] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 The sutured structure connecting joint is in the shape of an elliptical blade, specifically, the sutured structure connecting joint is in the shape of an elliptical structure with a blade short semi-axis:long semi-axis = 1:1.8, the number of blades is 4-5, and the included angle between the centers of the two mutually socketed ellipses is 25°. The geometric shape is cast by a professional mold in the factory.

[0039] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The steel beam 2 comprises a second upper flange plate 11, a second positioning web plate 12 and a second lower flange plate 13, the second upper flange plate 11 is longer than the second positioning web plate, and the length of the second upper flange plate 11 beyond the second positioning web plate is consistent with the exposed length of the upper part of the first positioning web plate 8 of the cantilever beam segment 3; the second positioning web plate is longer than the second lower flange plate 13, and the length of the second positioning web plate beyond the second lower flange plate 13 is consistent with the retracted length of the lower part of the first positioning web plate 8 of the cantilever beam segment 3.

[0040] When the steel beam 2 and the cantilever beam segment 3 are assembled, the upper and lower flange plates of the steel beam 2 and the cantilever beam segment 3 are connected in a socketed manner by using a sutured connection form, and then the second positioning web plate 12 of the steel beam 2 and the first positioning web plate 8 of the cantilever beam segment 3 are spliced by using a connecting plate 4 through high-strength friction type bolts 5. After the steel beam 2 and the cantilever beam segment 3 are spliced, the pad plate 10 and the second lower flange plate 13 of the steel beam 2 are connected by using the reserved bolt holes through high-strength friction type bolts.

[0041] Specifically, the second upper flange plate 11 of the steel beam 2 is first hoisted at the first positioning web plate 8 of the cantilever beam segment 3, and after the two sides of the joint connection are connected and positioned, the second upper flange plate 11 and the second lower flange plate 13 of the steel beam 2 are respectively connected and stitched with the first upper flange plate 7 and the first lower flange plate 9 of the cantilever beam segment 3, and after completion, the second lower flange plate 13 of the steel beam 2 is in full contact with the gusset plate 10.

[0042] Then, as shown in Figure 6 , a plurality of bolt holes 14 are arranged on the second positioning web plate 12 of the steel beam 2 and the first positioning web plate 8 of the cantilever beam segment 3, and corresponding through holes are arranged on the connecting plate 4, and the first positioning web plate 8 of the cantilever beam segment 3 and the second positioning web plate 12 of the steel beam 2 are spliced by the high-strength friction type bolt 5.

[0043] After the beam body is assembled, as shown in Figure 7 , the prefabricated cover plate 6 is hoisted at the bolt hole 14 reserved on the first upper flange plate 7 of the cantilever beam segment, and the cover plate 6 is connected with the assembled beam body by the high-strength friction type bolt 5. The thickness and length of the cover plate 6 can be valued according to actual requirements. The actual example after assembly is shown in Figure 8- Figure 11 .

[0044] The present application is also applicable to the beam connection of the fabricated concrete structure, that is, the I-shaped or H-shaped joint is pre-buried at the reinforced concrete cantilever beam segment and the end of the prefabricated reinforced concrete beam. The form of the present application is also applicable to the connection between columns. The application has a wide range of applications and can be used for steel structure beam-column joint connection and fabricated concrete structure beam-column joint connection. The connection joint can be arranged in the plastic hinge zone of the beam, the web plate bears the shear force, and the upper and lower flange plates bear the axial force, forming a "strong joint and weak beam component", which ensures that the damage occurs in the potential plastic hinge zone under the action of the earthquake. The lower flange gusset plate limits the possible displacement deviation when the connection joint is overlapped, increases the stability and reliability during assembly, and fully utilizes the overlapping part of the two components to participate in the stress, avoiding stress lag.

[0045] In the present application, the stitching connection blade adopts an elliptical geometric shape, which is more reasonable than the triangular and hemispherical structures commonly seen in other terrestrial insects, and the stress distribution is more uniform, avoiding stress concentration and having higher strength and toughness. When the number of stitching blades is 4-5, the overall evaluation of the peak load, stiffness and toughness at the joint is optimal, which can effectively improve the energy dissipation capacity of the joint and enhance the overall assembly effect.

[0046] The present application adopts the assembly mode of flange plate stitching connection and web plate bolt connection, the number of bolt connections is small, there is no welding, the on-site installation operation is moderate, the quality of the component can be effectively guaranteed, the construction speed is fast, and the component is convenient to disassemble and reuse, so that the present application has a broad application prospect in temporary building construction.

[0047] The cover plate added after the assembly of the beam body not only makes up the loss of the strength of the spliced part, but also limits the out-of-plane deformation of the flange plate of the spliced part of the assembled beam under stress. In addition, the cover plate splicing joint and the beam body splicing joint are staggered to realize phased stress. When the spliced part is stressed, the cover plate is first stressed, and if the cover plate deforms plastically but does not deform the beam body, the repair of the component can be completed by replacing the cover plate, and the maintenance is convenient and fast.

[0048] The bolt hole reserved by the application is slightly larger than the diameter of the high-strength friction bolt, which not only facilitates on-site installation, but also enables the component to slightly move within a controllable range under stress, thereby realizing energy consumption.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the application, and not to limit them; although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the application.
